* Summed across managers. Shares that two managers' reports both contain – a subsidiary's holdings that its parent's report includes too, or a sub-adviser's in its client's – are counted once ($207.0k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $12.55. Options: 7 managers hold calls ($4.2m notional), 5 hold puts ($883.0k).
