* 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 ($2.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $319.33. Options: 15 managers hold calls ($293.7m notional), 14 hold puts ($226.4m).
