Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability as of the measurement date. A fair-value reporting hierarchy exists for disclosure of fair value measurements based on the observability of the inputs to the valuation of financial assets and liabilities. The levels are: Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 assets may include equity and debt securities that are traded in an active exchange market, including shares of mutual funds. Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 assets and liabilities may include debt and equity securities, purchased loans and over-the-counter derivative contracts whose fair value is determined using a pricing model without significant unobservable market data inputs. Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets. NAV Practical Expedient – Investments that calculate NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. These investments have been excluded from the fair value hierarchy. (a) Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis The following table presents fair value measurements for classes of Federated Hermes’ financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

1 Amounts primarily consist of restricted cash and security deposits as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 2 Amounts primarily consist of a derivative liability and acquisition-related future contingent consideration liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Federated Hermes did not hold any nonfinancial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents include deposits with banks and investments in money market funds. Investments in money market funds totaled $205.8 million and $183.4 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Cash investments in publicly available money market funds are valued under the market approach through the use of quoted market prices in an active market, which is the NAV of the funds, and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies represent securities held by consolidated Federated Hermes Funds. For publicly traded securities available in an active market, the fair value of these securities is classified as Level 1 when the fair value is based on quoted market prices. The fair values of certain securities held by consolidated Federated Hermes Funds are determined by third-party pricing services which utilize observable market inputs of comparable investments (Level 2). Investments—Affiliates and Other Investments—Affiliates and Other primarily represent investments in fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds, as well as investments held in Separate Accounts. For investments in fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds that are publicly available, the securities are valued under the market approach through the use of quoted market prices available in an active market, which is the NAV of the funds, and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. For publicly traded securities available in an active market, the fair value of these securities is classified as Level 1 when the fair value is based on quoted market prices. The fair values of certain securities are determined by third-party pricing services which utilize observable market inputs of comparable investments (Level 2). Acquisition-related future contingent consideration liabilities From time to time, pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with certain business combinations and asset acquisitions, Federated Hermes may be required to make future consideration payments if certain contingencies are met. In connection with certain business combinations, Federated Hermes records a liability representing the estimated fair value of future consideration payments as of the acquisition date. The liability is subsequently re-measured at fair value on a recurring basis with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. As of June 30, 2022, acquisition-related future consideration liabilities of $4.7 million were primarily related to business combinations made in the first quarter 2020 and were recorded in Other Current Liabilities ($0.8 million) and Other Long-Term Liabilities ($3.9 million) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management estimated the fair value of future consideration payments based primarily upon expected future cash flows using an income approach valuation methodology with unobservable market data inputs (Level 3). The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for Federated Hermes’ liability for future consideration payments related to these business combinations/asset acquisitions:
(in thousands) |  |
Balance at December 31, 2021 |  | $ | 11,652 |
Changes in Fair Value |  | (27) |
Contingent Consideration Payments |  | (6,913) |
Balance at June 30, 2022 |  | $ | 4,712 |
Investments using Practical Expedients For investments in mutual funds that are not publicly available but for which the NAV is calculated monthly and for which there are redemption restrictions, the investments are valued using NAV as a practical expedient and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, these investments totaled $17.5 million and were recorded in Other Long-Term Assets. (b) Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis Federated Hermes did not hold any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2022. (c) Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments The fair value of Federated Hermes’ debt is estimated by management using observable market data (Level 2). Based on this fair value estimate, the carrying value of debt appearing on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value.
