Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | Leases Operating Leases – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2035. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis, which include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. The Company does not have any leases with variable lease payments. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office space of $60,159, $56,202 and $51,913 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and variable lease cost, which principally include costs for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses of $5,815, $5,548 and $6,563 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In conjunction with the lease of office space, the Company has entered into letters of credit in the amount of $5,886 and $5,757 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are secured by cash that is included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company has entered into various operating leases for the use of office equipment (primarily computers, printers, copiers and other information technology related equipment). Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office equipment of $6,372, $5,663 and $5,316 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The determination of an appropriate incremental borrowing rate requires significant assumptions and judgment. The Company's incremental borrowing rate was calculated based on the Company's recent debt issuances and current market conditions. The Company scales the rates appropriately depending on the life of the leases. The Company incurred net operating cash outflows of $45,572, $46,030 and $57,456 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to its operating leases, which was net of cash received from lease incentives of $2,666, $5,599 and $3,412 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The additional future payments under these arrangements are $23,555 as of December 31, 2024. In September 2024, the Company entered into a binding agreement affirming its intent to lease office space in London, United Kingdom. The Company anticipates signing the lease in 2026, following construction of the building, and anticipates that it will take possession of this space by the end of 2026. The lease term will end in 2041. The expected approximate additional annual expense under this lease agreement, net of certain lease incentives, is £12,000, and the aggregate expected additional future payments under this arrangement are £175,000.
