3 funds with a non-US mandate, CORO, GWX and SPEU, file a row under the symbol COST; those rows are left out of this page and of its counts, because in such a file a US symbol is usually the local exchange code of a different company. The JSON file and the holders index keep every raw row, 123 in all.
