(1) 
Principally investments in equity securities.
(2) 
The Company adopted ASU 2015-07 and no longer includes $126.0 million and $137.3 million as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively, of investments in certain entities for which fair value was measured using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient.
(3) 
Amounts are presented within Other liabilities.
(4) 
The Company adopted ASU 2015-07 and no longer includes $75.0 million and $80.1 million as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively, of liabilities for which fair value was measured using NAV as a practical expedient. These liabilities were previously included in Obligations to related parties and upon removal, the remaining liabilities were re-labeled Affiliate equity obligations.
(5) 
Amounts are presented within Other assets or Other liabilities.
The following are descriptions of the significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value methodologies used.
Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in daily redeeming money market funds which are classified as Level 1.
Investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in publicly traded securities and in funds advised by Affiliates that are valued using NAV. Publicly traded securities and investments in daily redeeming funds that calculate NAVs are classified as Level 1.
Other investments consist primarily of funds advised by Affiliates that are valued using NAV. Investments in daily redeeming funds that calculate NAVs are classified as Level 1. Investments in funds that permit redemptions monthly or quarterly are classified as Level 2.
Contingent payment arrangements represent the present value of the expected future settlement of contingent payment arrangements related to the Company’s investments in consolidated Affiliates. The significant unobservable inputs that are used in the fair value measurement of these obligations are growth and discount rates. Increases in the growth rate result in a higher obligation while an increase in the discount rate results in a lower obligation.
Affiliate equity obligations include agreements to repurchase Affiliate equity. The significant unobservable inputs that are used in the fair value measurement of the agreements to repurchase Affiliate equity are growth and discount rates. Increases in the growth rate result in a higher obligation while an increase in the discount rate results in a lower obligation.
Foreign currency forward contracts use model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets to determine fair value.
It is the Company’s policy to value financial assets or liabilities transferred as of the beginning of the period in which the transfer occurs. There were no significant transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016.

Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value
The Company uses the NAV of certain investments as their fair value. The NAVs that have been provided by the investees have been derived from the fair values of the underlying assets and liabilities as of the measurement dates. The following table summarizes the nature of these investments and any related liquidity restrictions or other factors which may impact the ultimate value realized:

(1) 
These funds primarily invest in a broad range of private equity funds, as well as make direct investments. Distributions will be received as the underlying assets are liquidated over the life of the funds, which is generally up to 15 years.  
(2) 
These are multi-disciplinary funds that invest across various asset classes and strategies, including long/short equity, credit and real estate. Investments are generally redeemable on a daily, monthly or quarterly basis.
Other Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Carried at Fair Value
The carrying amount of Cash and cash equivalents, Receivables, and Payables and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of notes receivable approximates fair value because interest rates and other terms are at market rates. The carrying value of Senior bank debt approximates fair value because the debt has variable interest based on selected short-term rates. The following table summarizes the Company’s other financial liabilities not carried at fair value:
