(1) These investments were acquired as part of the OHA acquisition. As of December 31, 2021, these investments are recorded at their acquisition date fair value but will be accounted for as held-to-maturity going forward.

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 transferability restrictions. 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 2021, we recognized $63.6 million of net unrealized gains on investments held at fair value that were still held at December 31, 2021. For 2020, we recognized $142.7 million of net unrealized gains on investments held at fair value that were still held at December 31, 2020. For 2019, we recognized $105.4 million of net unrealized gains on investments held at fair value that were still held at December 31, 2019.

Dividends, including capital gain distributions, earned on the T. Rowe Price investment products held at fair value, totaled $90.2 million in 2021, $50.8 million in 2020, and $50.6 million in 2019.

During each of the last three years, 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 2020 and 2019, 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 consolidated balance sheets and statements of income as of the dates the portfolios were deconsolidated or reconsolidated is detailed below.
(in millions)202120202019
Net decrease in assets of consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products$(753.0)$(546.1)$(380.5)
Net decrease in liabilities of consolidated T. Rowe Price investment products$(17.6)$(10.5)$(15.0)
Net decrease in redeemable non-controlling interests$(501.1)$(308.1)$(267.6)
Gains recognized upon deconsolidation$2.4 $.7 $.1 
The gains 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.
In October 2020, UTI Asset Management Company Limited (India), one of our equity method investments, held an initial public offering in India. As part of the offering, we sold a portion of our 26% interest and recorded a net gain on the sale of approximately $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Subsequent to the sale, we have an ownership interest of 23% in UTI Asset Management Company Limited (India).

INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED PRIVATE INVESTMENT FUNDS.

We acquired investments in certain OHA affiliated private investment funds that are recorded at their acquisition fair value of $761.1 million as of December 31, 2021 and reported in investments in our 2021 consolidated balance sheet. For the carried interest investments, we will recognize an allocable share of net profits as determined by the underlying limited partnership agreements in net revenues in future consolidated statements of income. For seed/ co-investments, we will recognize income from these investments in non-operating income in future consolidated statements of income.

INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED COLLATERALIZED LOAN OBLIGATIONS.

As part of the OHA acquisition, we acquired long-term investments in collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") and assumed debt associated with these investments. We recorded these investments at their acquisition date fair values. The European CLOs, which were valued at $129.9 million at December 31, 2021, invest in 5% vertical strips in each class of rated notes and subordinated notes. Certain investments in the debt tranches of the CLOs will be subsequently measured at amortized cost as investments held to maturity and included in investments in our consolidated balance sheets. The subordinated note tranches of these investments are accounted for as equity method investments and our allocable share of income will be included in non-operating income (loss) in the consolidated statements of income beginning in 2022. Certain of the investments in the debt tranches of the CLOs have been pledged as collateral against the repurchase agreements.

The debt assumed was valued at $113.5 million at December 31, 2021, and is reported in accounts payable and accrued expenses of the consolidated balance sheet. The debt assumed includes outstanding repurchase agreements of €66.7 million (equivalent to $75.9 million at the December 31, 2021 EUR spot rate) that are collateralized by our CLO investment. Interest income on the underlying investments accrues quarterly and those amounts are retained by the counterparty. Interest expense accrues quarterly, which is equal to the interest income retained by the counterparty, plus 0.5% per annum on the notes of the underlying pledged investments. We still hold the legal rights and obligations associated with the underlying assets and therefore continue to satisfy the United Kingdom risk retention requirements.

The debt we assumed also includes outstanding note facilities of €32.4 million (equivalent to $36.9 million at the December 31, 2021 EUR spot rate) that were entered into in connection with the financing of certain CLO investments and are collateralized by first priority security interests in the assets of the consolidated OHA entity that is party to the notes. These notes bear interest at rates based on EURIBOR plus the initial margin, which equals all-in rates ranging from 1.70% to 1.95% as of December 31, 2021. The notes mature on various dates through 2032 or if the investment is paid back in full or cancelled, whichever is sooner. Payments are required on the debt when payments are received on the investments. Each deed contains covenants which, if not met, may cause the termination of the note facility and declare principal and interest immediately due and payable. The consolidated entity that is the party to the notes was in compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 2021.
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES.

Our investments at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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:
(in millions)20212020
Investment carrying values$182.2 $144.7 
Unfunded capital commitments8.0 12.3 
Receivable for investment advisory and administrative fees22.9 13.8 
$213.1 $170.8 

The unfunded capital commitments, totaling $8.0 million at December 31, 2021, and $12.3 million at December 31, 2020, relate primarily to 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.
In connection with the OHA acquisition, we acquired carried interest entities that hold general partner interests in affiliated private investment funds that are VIEs, though these carried interest entities were determined to not be the primary beneficiary. Our maximum risk of loss related to these affiliated investment funds are the investment carrying value of $761.1 million, the unfunded capital commitments of $86.2 million, and their receivable for investment advisory and performance-based incentive fees of $122.2 million.
