* 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 ($5.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $433.46. Options: 14 managers hold calls ($118.9m notional), 13 hold puts ($57.5m).
