5. | Equity investments
Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried on the cost or equity method, as applicable. The Company maintains equity method investments in unconsolidated investees in both its Kidney Care and DMG lines of business, as well as minor cost method investments in private securities of certain other healthcare businesses. The Company classifies its non-marketable cost- or equity-method investments as equity investments on its balance sheet. As described in Note 15, the Company deconsolidated its Asia Pacific dialysis business (APAC JV) effective as of August 1, 2016, adjusted its retained investment in the APAC JV to estimated fair value at that time, and has accounted for this retained investment on the equity method since August 1, 2016.
