Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments and contingencies may arise in the ordinary course of business. The company has committed to co-invest in certain investment products, which may be called in future periods. At September 30, 2025, the company’s undrawn co-invest capital commitments were $692.3 million (December 31, 2024: $693.7 million). Certain of our managed investment products have entered into borrowing arrangements with financial institutions. The company provided equity commitments and guarantees to the financial institutions for certain of these borrowing arrangements that are temporary in nature. The borrowing arrangements look first to the respective investment products for repayment and servicing. The company’s equity commitment or guarantee would only be called in the event a particular investment product is unable to meet its obligation. The company believes the likelihood of being required to fund its equity commitments or guarantees under these arrangements to be remote. To date, the company has not been required to fund any equity commitments or guarantees under these arrangements. The maximum amount of future payments under the commitments is $50.5 million and under the guarantees is $30.0 million. The fair value of the guarantee liability is not significant to the consolidated financial statements. The company and some of its subsidiaries have entered into agreements with financial institutions to guarantee certain obligations of other subsidiaries of the company. The company would be required to perform under these guarantees in the event of certain defaults. The company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. Legal Contingencies The company is from time to time involved in pending or threatened litigation relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The nature and progression of litigation can make it difficult to predict the impact a particular lawsuit or claim will have on the company. There are many reasons that the company cannot make these assessments, including, among others, one or more of the following: the proceeding is in its early stages (or merely threatened); the damages sought are unspecified, unsupportable, unexplained or uncertain; the claimant is seeking relief other than compensatory damages; the matter presents novel legal claims or other meaningful legal uncertainties; discovery has not started or is not complete; there are significant facts in dispute; and there are other parties who may share in any ultimate liability. The company and certain related entities have in recent years been subject to various regulatory inquiries, reviews and investigations and legal proceedings, including civil litigation, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions. These actions can arise from normal business operations and/or matters that have been the subject of previous regulatory reviews. As a global company with investment products registered in numerous countries and subject to the jurisdiction of one or more regulators in each country, at any given time, our business operations may be subject to review, investigation, or disciplinary action. In assessing the impact that a legal or regulatory matter will have on the company, management evaluates the need for an accrual on a case-by-case basis. If the likelihood of a loss is deemed probable and is reasonably estimable, the estimated loss is accrued. If the likelihood of a loss is assessed as less than probable, a loss is not accrued. If a loss is deemed probable but an amount or range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a loss is not accrued but the matter is disclosed. In management’s opinion, adequate accrual has been made as of September 30, 2025 to provide for any losses that may arise from matters for which the company could reasonably estimate an amount and are deemed probable. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of any litigation or regulatory investigations will not materially affect the company’s business, revenue, net income or liquidity. Further, the investment management industry also is generally subject to extensive levels of ongoing regulatory oversight and examination. In the jurisdictions in which the company operates, governmental authorities regularly make inquiries, hold investigations and administer market conduct examinations with respect to the company’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Additional lawsuits or regulatory enforcement actions arising out of these inquiries may in the future be filed against the company, related entities and individuals in the jurisdictions in which the company and its affiliates operate. Any material loss of investor and/or client confidence as a result of such inquiries and/or litigation could result in a significant decline in assets under management (AUM), which would have an adverse effect on the company’s future financial results and its ability to grow its business.
