Equity [Abstract] |
Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders' Equity Distributable Reserves As a U.K. incorporated company, the Company is required under U.K. law to have available "distributable reserves" to make share repurchases or pay dividends to shareholders. Distributable reserves may be created through the earnings of the U.K. parent company and, amongst other methods, through a reduction in share capital approved by the English Companies Court. Distributable reserves are not linked to a U.S. GAAP reported amount (e.g., retained earnings). As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had distributable reserves in excess of $2.1 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively. Ordinary Shares In April 2012, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which up to $5.0 billion of Class A Ordinary Shares may be repurchased ("2012 Share Repurchase Program"). In November 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new $5.0 billion share repurchase program in addition to the existing program ("2014 Share Repurchase Program" and, together, the "Repurchase Programs"). Under each program, shares may be repurchased through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, based on prevailing market conditions, funded from available capital. During 2015, the Company repurchased 16.0 million shares at an average price per share of $97.04 for a total cost of $1.6 billion under the Repurchase Programs. During 2014, the Company repurchased 25.8 million shares at an average price per share of $87.18 for a total cost of $2.3 billion under the 2012 Share Repurchase Plan. In August 2015, the $5 billion of Class A Ordinary Shares authorized under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program was exhausted. At December 31, 2015, the remaining authorized amount for share repurchase under the 2014 Share Repurchase Program is $4.1 billion. Under the Repurchase Programs, the Company repurchased a total of 78.1 million shares for an aggregate cost of $5.9 billion.

Dividends During 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company paid dividends on its Class A Ordinary Shares of $323.1 million, $273.0 million, and $212.0 million, respectively.
