* 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 ($5.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $8.33. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($1.7m notional), 6 hold puts ($1.6m).
