The Company’s money market funds are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. The valuation for the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts is primarily based on the difference between the exchange rate associated with the forward contract and the exchange rate at the current period end. Foreign currency forward contracts are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate its U.S. dollar and British pound sterling v ersus euro exposure, generally with a duration of less than 12 months. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the counterparty on each of the foreign currency forward contracts was an affiliate of Refinitiv and therefore the corresponding liabilities and receivables on such contracts were included in payable to affiliates and receivable from affiliates, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. The following table summarizes the aggregate U.S. d ollar equivalent notional amount of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes:

Foreign currency forward contracts – Gross notional amount |  | $ | 162,845 |  |  | $ | 146,202 |
The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in the fair value of these contracts during the period are recognized in the consolidated statements of income within general and administrative expenses. The total realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency forward contracts recorded within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income are as follows:

The carrying value of financial instruments not measured at fair value classified within level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy approximates fair value because of the relatively short term nature of the underlying assets or liabilities. The memberships in clearing organizations, which are included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition, are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the valuation requires assumptions that are both significant and unobservable. Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain assets and liabilities, such as assets acquired in a business combination, at fair value as of the acquisition date. See Note 4 – Acquisitions for further details regarding these non-recurring fair value measurements. Financial Instruments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values Included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition are equity investments without readily determinable fair values of $20.0 million and $21.1 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized losses totaling $1.0 million, included in income (loss) from investments in the consolidated statements of income, related to the write-off of an investment that was determined to be uncollectible.
