How this table is calculated: SEC VALUE ($000) is used as reported. For derivatives (PUT/CALL/WARRANT/RIGHT), SEC value represents reported underlying exposure, not premium cash paid/received. Column % is bucket-based: non-options share is calculated inside non-option total, options share is calculated inside options total. Details.
