For a complete listing of Federated Hermes’ significant accounting policies, please refer to Federated Hermes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The following previously disclosed significant accounting policy has been updated.
Principles of Consolidation
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
Federated Hermes has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) and is, therefore, deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Financial information for certain entities, whose primary purpose is to collect and distribute carried interest paid by foreign private equity and infrastructure funds, is not available timely and is therefore consolidated on a one quarter lag, adjusted for any known material carried interest revenue and compensation transactions occurring through the balance sheet date.
Federated Hermes manages carried interest vehicles (CIVs) which were determined to be VIEs. As the primary beneficiary, Federated Hermes consolidates certain CIVs. As a result, when carried interest is recognized as revenue, a portion of this revenue is allocated to current and former employee limited partners and is recorded to Compensation and Related expense.
