Operating Segments [Abstract]  
Segmented information Segmented information
For management purposes, the Company is organized into business units based on its products, services and geographical locations and has four reportable segments as follows:
Exchange listed products (reportable), which provides management services to the Company's closed-end physical trusts and exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), both of which are actively traded on public securities exchanges;
Managed equities (reportable), which provides management services to the Company's alternative investment strategies managed in-house and on a sub-advisory basis;
Private strategies (reportable), which provides lending and streaming activities through limited partnership vehicles;
Corporate (reportable), which provides capital, balance sheet management and enterprise shared services to the Company's subsidiaries; and
All other segments (non-reportable), which do not meet the definition of reportable segments per IFRS 8.
Effective in the first quarter of this year, the brokerage segment no longer met the definition of a reportable segment. Consequently, this segment was retroactively included as part of "All other segments".
Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on earnings before interest expense, income taxes, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, gains and losses on investments (as if such gains and losses had not occurred), other (income) and expenses, amortization of stock-based compensation, carried interest and performance fees and carried interest and performance fee payouts (adjusted base EBITDA).
Adjusted base EBITDA is not a measurement in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance under IFRS.
Transfer pricing between operating segments is performed on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.
