Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Parties | NOTE 24. RELATED PARTIES Mr. Christopher B. Sarofim, a director of Kemper, is Vice Chairman and a member of the board of directors of Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“FS&C”), a registered investment advisory firm. FS&C provided investment management services with respect to certain assets of Kemper’s subsidiary, Trinity, under an agreement between the parties. Trinity had $85.8 million and $154.7 million in assets managed by FS&C at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In 2014, Trinity began reducing the amount of assets managed by FS&C. Trinity completed the disposal of all the assets managed by FS&C in 2015. Investment Expenses incurred in connection with such agreement were $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. FS&C also provides investment management services with respect to certain funds of the Company’s Pension Plan. The Company’s Pension Plan had $137.2 million, $159.2 million and $148.6 million in assets managed by FS&C at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, under an agreement with FS&C whereby FS&C provides investment management services. Investment Expenses incurred in connection with such agreement were $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. With respect to the Company’s defined contribution plans, until November 4, 2014, one of the alternative investment choices afforded to participating employees was the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund, an open-end, diversified managed investment fund. FS&C provides investment management services to the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund as a sub-investment advisor. The Company does not compensate FS&C for services provided to the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund. Participants in the Company’s defined contribution plans had allocated $22.8 million for investment in the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund at December 31, 2013, representing 6% of the total amount invested in the Company’s defined contribution plans at such dates. The Company believes that the transactions described above have been provided on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been negotiated with non-affiliated third parties. As described in Note 21, “Other Reinsurance,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company also has certain relationships with Capitol, a mutual insurance company which is owned by its policyholders, and its subsidiary, ORCC.
