General Partners of Private Equity Funds which are VIEs
The Company has concluded that Glisco Capital Partners II, Glisco Capital Partners III and Glisco Manager Holdings LP are VIEs and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. 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 $1,326 and $2,956 included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to these unconsolidated VIEs, representing the carrying value of the Company's investments in the entities. The Company's exposure to the obligations of these VIEs is generally limited to its investments in these entities. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $3,509 and $5,138, 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.

In certain instances, the Company makes investments in private companies in exchange for equity securities and warrants, or receives equity securities in private companies in exchange for advisory services. These investments, which had a balance of $1,671 and $625 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are accounted for at their cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.
