Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Note 20. Segment Reporting
We operate in two reportable business segments: (1) Investment
Banking and Capital Markets and (2) Asset Management. The
Investment Banking and Capital Markets reportable business
segment includes our capital markets activities and investment
banking business, which is composed of financial advisory and
underwriting activities. The Investment Banking and Capital
Markets reportable business segment provides the sales, trading,
origination and advisory effort for various fixed income, equity
and advisory products and services. The Asset Management
reportable business segment provides investment management
services to investors globally and invests capital in hedge funds,
separately managed accounts and third-party asset managers.
Our reportable business segment information is prepared using
the following methodologies:
•Net revenues, expenses and income (loss) from equity method
investments directly associated with each reportable business
segment are included in determining earnings (losses) from
continuing operations before income taxes.
•Net revenues and expenses not directly associated with
specific reportable business segments are allocated based on
the most relevant measures applicable, including each
reportable business segment’s net revenues, headcount and
other factors.
•Reportable business segment assets include an allocation of
indirect corporate assets that have been fully allocated to our
reportable business segments, generally based on each
reportable business segment’s capital utilization.
Net revenues presented for our Investment Banking and Capital
Markets reportable segment include allocations of interest
income and interest expense as we assess the profitability of
these businesses inclusive of the net interest revenue or expense
associated with the respective activities, including the net
interest cost of allocated long-term debt, which is a function of
the mix of each business's associated assets and liabilities and
the related funding costs.
Our Chief Executive Officer and President serve collectively as
our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In this capacity, the
CODM evaluates the performance of each business segment and
allocates resources based on a variety of strategic and financial
considerations. These considerations include measures of
segment results and profitability, including net revenues and
earnings before income taxes, which are calculated in
accordance with U.S. GAAP and align with the amounts reported
in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The CODM regularly
reviews results and profitability measures to monitor budget
versus actual results. Furthermore, the ongoing monitoring of
budget versus actual results is used to assess the performance
of each reportable business segment and significantly influences
decisions about allocating resources.
