Investments Measured at NAV as a Practical Expedient

The Company’s Affiliates sponsor investment products in which the Company and its Affiliates may make general partner and seed capital investments. The Company uses the NAV of these investments as a practical expedient for their fair value and reports these products within Other investments. The following table summarizes the fair values of these investments and unfunded commitments:



	December 31, 2018				December 31, 2019
Category of Investment	Fair Value		Unfunded Commitments		Fair Value		Unfunded Commitments
Private equity⁽¹⁾	$	193.2	$	131.0	$	203.3	$	127.2
Other funds⁽²⁾	7.9		—		8.5		—
Other investments⁽³⁾	$	201.1	$	131.0	$	211.8	$	127.2

__________________________


⁽¹⁾	The Company uses NAV as a practical expedient one quarter in arrears (adjusted for current period calls and distributions) to determine the fair value. These funds primarily invest in a broad range of third-party funds and 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 equity, credit and real estate. Investments are generally redeemable on a daily, monthly or quarterly basis.


⁽³⁾	Fair value attributable to the controlling interest was $123.2 million and $137.6 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Carried at Fair Value

The Company has other financial assets and liabilities, which are not required to be carried at fair value, but the Company is required to disclose their fair values. 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, which is reported in Other assets, approximates fair value because interest rates and other terms are at market rates.

The carrying value of the credit facilities approximates fair value because the credit facilities have variable interest based on selected short-term rates. The following table summarizes the Company’s other financial liabilities not carried at fair value:



	December 31, 2018				December 31, 2019
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Fair Value Hierarchy
Senior notes	$	746.2	$	747.5	$	746.8	$	797.4	Level 2
Junior convertible securities	312.5		391.5		315.4		415.7		Level 2
Junior subordinated notes	—		—		290.7		327.7		Level 2
