Other Investments Other Investments
Other investments consist of investments in funds advised by the Company’s Affiliates that are carried at net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient and investments without readily determinable fair values. The income or loss related to these investments is recorded in Investment and other income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Investments Measured at NAV as a Practical Expedient
The Company’s Affiliates sponsor investment products in which the Company and its consolidated Affiliates may make general partner and seed capital investments. The Company uses the NAV of these investments as a practical expedient for their fair values. The following table summarizes the fair value of these investments and any related unfunded commitments:

___________________________
(1)The Company accounts for the majority of its interests in private equity funds under the equity method of accounting and 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 $164.4 million and $217.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
