* 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 ($2.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $54.30. Options: 7 managers hold calls ($7.5m notional), 13 hold puts ($34.3m).
