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 the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2023, net gains on investments included $46.1 million of net unrealized losses and $28.9 million of net unrealized gains, respectively, related to investments held at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2023. For the same periods of 2022, net losses on investments included $35.3 million and $258.7 million of net unrealized losses related to investments held at fair value that were still held at September 30, 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, certain sponsored 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 sponsored investment products as either an equity method investment or an investment held at fair value. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, certain sponsored investment products 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.

Gains recognized upon deconsolidation	$	0.7	$	—	$	0.7	$	6.9

The gains recognized upon deconsolidation were the result of reclassifying currency translation adjustments accumulated on certain sponsored investment products with non-USD functional currencies from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to non-operating income (loss).

INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED COLLATERALIZED LOAN OBLIGATIONS.

There is debt associated with our long-term investments in affiliated collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). This debt is carried at $96.1 million at September 30, 2023 and $103.0 million at December 31, 2022, and is reported in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The debt includes outstanding repurchase agreements of €65.7 million (equivalent to $69.5 million at September 30, 2023 and $71.3 million at December 31, 2022 at the respective EUR spot rates) that are collateralized by the CLO investments. The debt also includes outstanding note facilities of €25.2 million (equivalent to $26.6 million at September 30, 2023 and $31.7 million at December 31, 2022 at the respective EUR spot rates) that are collateralized by first priority security interests in the assets of a consolidated subsidiary that is party to the notes. These note facilities bear interest at rates based on EURIBOR plus the initial margin, which equals all-in rates ranging from 1.15% to 12.52% as of September 30, 2023. The debt matures on various dates through 2035 or if the investments are paid back in full or cancelled, whichever is sooner.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES.

Our investments at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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)	9/30/2023		12/31/2022
Investment carrying values	$	989.6	$	762.2
Unfunded capital commitments	123.9		84.7
Accounts receivable	97.4		91.5
	$	1,210.9	$	938.4

The unfunded capital commitments, totaling $123.9 million at September 30, 2023 and $84.7 million at December 31, 2022, relate primarily to the affiliated private investment funds and 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.

INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED FUNDS.

Certain of the the investments in affiliated funds represent interests in general partners of affiliated private investment funds and are entitled to a disproportionate allocation of income or carried interest. These entities are considered variable interest entities and are consolidated as T. Rowe Price was determined to be the primary beneficiary.

The total assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of these consolidated variable interest entities are as follows:


(in millions)	9/30/2023		12/31/2022
Assets	$	621.7	$	526.2
Liabilities	$	0.2	$	15.8
Non-controlling interest	$	221.5	$	190.7
