General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract] |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are equity price risk and interest rate risk. Equity contracts (options sold) on various equity securities are intended to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases or sales of such securities. From time to time, the Company also enters into derivative contracts to enhance returns on its investment portfolio. The following tables present the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the consolidated balance sheets and derivative gains in the consolidated statements of operations:

The Company manages the risk associated with covered calls through strict capital limitations and asset diversification throughout various industries.
