Fair Value Measurements, Recurring and Non-recurring [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Products | Note 6. Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Products Artisan serves as the investment adviser for various types of investment products, consisting of both VIEs and VOEs. Artisan consolidates an investment product if it has a controlling financial interest in the entity. Any such entities are collectively referred to herein as consolidated investment products or CIPs. As of March 31, 2021, Artisan is considered to have a controlling financial interest in three sub-funds of Artisan Global Funds and three Artisan Private Funds, with an aggregate direct equity investment in the consolidated investment products of $62.1 million. Artisan’s maximum exposure to loss in connection with the assets and liabilities of CIPs is limited to its direct equity investment, while the potential benefit is limited to the management and performance fees received and the return on its equity investment. With the exception of Artisan’s direct equity investment, the assets of CIPs are not available to Artisan’s creditors, nor are they available to Artisan for general corporate purposes. In addition, third-party investors in the CIPs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Management and performance fees earned from CIPs are eliminated from revenue upon consolidation. See Note 14, “Related Party Transactions” for additional information on management and performance fees earned from CIPs. Third-party investors’ ownership interest in CIPs is presented as redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as third-party investors have the right to withdraw their capital, subject to certain conditions. Net income attributable to third-party investors is reported as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests - consolidated investment products in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company determined that it no longer had a controlling financial interest in one Artisan Private Fund upon the redemption of the Company's seed investment. Upon loss of control, the VIE was deconsolidated and the following assets, liabilities, and equity of the fund were derecognized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition:
|  | As of January 1, 2021
Assets of consolidated investment products |  |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 34,823 |
Accounts receivable and other |  | 1,769 |
Investment assets, at fair value |  | 72,868 |
Less: Amounts reclassified to investment securities |  | (11,200) |
Total assets |  | $ | 98,260 |
Liabilities of consolidated investment products |  |
Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other |  | $ | 76,960 |
Investment liabilities, at fair value |  | 566 |
Total liabilities |  | $ | 77,526 |
Redeemable noncontrolling interests |  | $ | 20,734 |
Total liabilities and equity |  | $ | 98,260 |
There was no net impact to the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Artisan generally does not recognize a gain or loss upon deconsolidation of investment products because the assets and liabilities of CIPs are carried at fair value. As of March 31, 2021, Artisan held direct equity investments of $1.8 million in VIEs for which the Company does not hold a controlling financial interest. These direct equity investments consisted of seed investments in sub-funds of Artisan Global Funds and Artisan Private Funds, both of which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting because Artisan has significant influence over the funds. Fair Value Measurements - Consolidated Investment Products Investments held by CIPs are reflected at fair value. Short and long positions on equity securities are valued based upon closing prices of the security on the exchange or market designated by the accounting agent or pricing vendor as the principal exchange. The closing price may represent last sale price, official closing price, a closing auction or other information depending on market convention. Short and long positions on fixed income instruments are valued at market value. Market values are generally evaluations based on the judgment of pricing vendors, which may consider, among other factors, the prices at which securities actually trade, broker-dealer quotations, pricing formulas, estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics and/or discounted cash flow models that might be applicable. Derivative assets and liabilities are generally comprised of put and call options on securities and indices. Put and call options are valued at the mid price (average of bid price and ask price) as provided by the pricing vendor at the close of trading on the contract's principal exchange. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy levels of assets and liabilities held by CIPs measured at fair value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
