The investment partnerships are carried at fair value using net asset value (“NAV”) per share as a practical expedient. Our interests in these partnerships are generally not redeemable and are subject to significant restrictions on transferability. The underlying investments of these partnerships have contractual terms through 2029, though we may receive distributions of liquidating assets over a longer term. The investment strategies of these partnerships include growth equity, buyout, venture capital, and real estate.

During the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2019, net gains on investments included $4.8 million and $84.2 million of net unrealized gains related to investments held at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2019. For the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2018, the net gains on investments included $11.3 million and $17.4 million, respectively, of net unrealized gains on investments held at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2018.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, certain T. Rowe Price investment products in which we provided initial seed capital at the time of formation were deconsolidated, as we no longer had a controlling interest. Depending on our ownership interest, we are now reporting our residual interests in these T. Rowe Price investment products as either an equity method investment or an investment held at fair value. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, certain T. Rowe Price investment products that were being accounted for as equity method investments were consolidated, as we regained a controlling interest. The net
impact of these changes on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of income as of the dates the portfolios were deconsolidated or reconsolidated is detailed below.

The gains or losses recognized upon deconsolidation were the result of reclassifying currency translation adjustments accumulated on certain T. Rowe Price investment products with non-USD functional currencies from accumulated other comprehensive income to non-operating income.

During the third quarter of 2018, we sold our 10% holding in Daiwa SB Investments Ltd. The realized gain was recognized in net gains on investments on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and represents the majority of the reason why non-operating income is lower for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, than the corresponding periods in 2018.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES.

Our investments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, include interests in variable interest entities that we do not consolidate as we are not deemed the primary beneficiary. Our maximum risk of loss related to our involvement with these entities is as follows:

The unfunded capital commitments totaling $19.3 million and $27.3 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, relate primarily to the investment partnerships in which we have an existing investment. In addition to such amounts, a percentage of prior distributions may be called under certain circumstances.
