* 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 ($7.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 62.2m as of 2025-05-07, from the company's own SEC filing; the percentage can still exceed 100%: lent-out shares are counted by the lender and the buyer, and some reports overlap without saying so. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $25.01. Options: 10 managers hold calls ($7.2m notional), 11 hold puts ($17.4m).
