The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of these entities included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of these entities and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to the entities, or the right to receive benefits from the entities that could be potentially significant. Neither the Company nor its related parties will have the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Further, as a limited partner in these entities, the Company does not possess substantive participating rights. The Company had assets of $3,430 and $3,166 included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, related to these unconsolidated VIEs, representing the carrying value of the Company's investments in the entities.

The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $5,613 and $5,385, respectively, which represents the carrying value of the Company's investments in these VIEs, as well as any unfunded commitments to the current and future funds.
