* 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 ($228.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 108.4m as of 2024-12-31, 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 ≈ $186.66. Options: 13 managers hold calls ($103.5m notional), 11 hold puts ($35.0m).
