* 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 ($8.9m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $9.33. Options: 7 managers hold calls ($4.2m notional), 9 hold puts ($2.8m).
