Variable Interest Entities Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates certain VIEs for which it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary. The consolidated VIEs are general partner entities of certain Partnerships, which are not wholly owned by the Company. The total assets of the consolidated VIEs are $9,988 and $11,648 as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are recorded in Investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The consolidated VIEs had no liabilities other than deferred incentive fee revenue of $3,704 as of March 31, 2020 and 2019. The assets of the consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs, if any. In addition, there is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated VIEs’ liabilities, except for certain entities in which there could be a claw back of previously distributed carried interest.

The Company holds variable interests in certain Partnerships that are VIEs, which are not consolidated, as it is determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Such Partnerships are considered VIEs because limited partners lack the ability to remove the general partner or dissolve the entity without cause, by simple majority vote (i.e. have substantive “kick out” or “liquidation” rights). The Company’s involvement with such entities is in the form of direct equity interests in, and fee arrangements with, the Partnerships in which it also serves as the general partner or managing member. In the Company’s role as general partner or managing member, it generally considers itself the sponsor of the applicable Partnership and makes all investment and operating decisions. As of March 31, 2020, the total commitments and remaining unfunded commitments from the limited partners and general partners to the unconsolidated VIEs are $19,099,081 and $7,400,287, respectively. These commitments are the primary source of financing for the unconsolidated VIEs.

The maximum exposure to loss represents the potential loss of assets recognized by the Company relating to these unconsolidated entities. The Company believes that its maximum exposure to loss is limited because it establishes separate limited liability or limited partnership entities to serve as the general partner or managing member of the Partnerships.
The carrying amount of assets and liabilities recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Company’s interests in these non-consolidated VIEs and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to non-consolidated VIEs were as follows:
