The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these assets and liabilities, as well as the level of input used to measure fair value:

Equity securities

– these investments are exchange-traded equity securities. Fair values for these investments are based on closing stock prices from active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Private equities

– other investment in which fair value inputs are unobservable.

Derivative financial instruments

– these derivatives are foreign currency forward and option contracts. See Note 6. Fair value is based on observable market inputs, such as forward rates in active markets; therefore, we classify these derivatives within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a realized gain

of $

3,815

recorded in our condensed consolidated unaudited statement of income attributable to the sale of certain equity securities.
