​ Level 1 Fair Value Measurements Our Level 1 fair value measurements consist mostly of investments held by consolidated and unconsolidated seeded investment products and cash equivalents with quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value level of consolidated investments held by seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of most unconsolidated investments held in seeded investment products is determined by the NAV, which is considered a quoted price in an active market. Level 2 Fair Value Measurements Our Level 2 fair value measurements consist mostly of investments held by consolidated investment products and our long-term debt. The fair value level of consolidated investments held by seeded investment products is determined by the underlying securities of the product. The fair value level of our long-term debt is determined using recent trading activity, which is considered a Level 2 input. Level 3 Fair Value Measurements Investments As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, certain investments within consolidated VIEs and VREs were valued using significant unobservable inputs, resulting in Level 3 classification. Deferred Bonuses ​ Deferred bonuses represent liabilities to employees over the vesting period that will be settled by investments in our products or cash. Upon vesting, employees receive the value of the investment product selected by the participant, adjusted for gains or losses attributable to the product. The significant unobservable inputs used to value the liabilities are investment designations and vesting periods. Changes in Fair Value Changes in fair value of our Level 3 assets for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows (in millions):

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements Nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements include goodwill, intangible assets and contingent consideration liabilities. We measure the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets on initial recognition based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Significant assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value include assets under management (“AUM”), investment management fee rates, discount rates and expenses. We measure the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on initial recognition using the Monte Carlo method, which requires assumptions regarding projected future earnings and the discount rate. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities, such measurements are classified as Level 3. Investments Valued at Practical Expedient As a practical expedient to value certain investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and have attributes of an investment, we use the NAV as the fair value. As such, investments in private investment funds with a fair value of $30.1 million are excluded from the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2025. Further, the respective fund’s investment portfolio may contain debt investments that are in the form of revolving lines of credit and unfunded delayed draw commitments, which require the fund to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with the terms of the underlying loan agreements. As of March 31, 2025, the investments valued at the practical expedient had $10.7 million of associated unfunded commitments.
