Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Unconsolidated Joint Venture	Unconsolidated Joint Venture On September 30, 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a 59% ownership interest in Champ Limited Partnership (“Champ LP”) following which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Champ LP then acquired a 35% ownership interest in KBC Bank Deutschland AG ("KBC Bank"), the German subsidiary of Belgian KBC Group NV. KBC Bank specializes in corporate banking and financial services for medium-sized German companies. It also provides professional real estate financing, acquisition finance, institutional asset management and private wealth management services for German high-net-worth individuals. Following the closing of the transaction, KBC Bank was renamed Bremer Kreditbank AG and will operate under the name BKB Bank. The Company acquired its ownership interest in Champ LP for an initial purchase price paid at closing of approximately €30,724 ($39,477). The Company committed to invest up to approximately €38,000 ($50,000). In January 2015, the Company funded an additional investment of €3,331 (or $3,929) related to its investment in Champ LP. In February 2015, the Company sold approximately 48% of its ownership interest in Champ LP at cost to an investment fund managed by Apollo Global Management, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, "Apollo") for €16,314 (or $20,794) (of which $2,614 related to foreign exchange losses which were previously included in accumulated other comprehensive loss), reducing its unfunded commitment to Champ LP to €3,229 (or $3,609). Through its interest in Champ LP, the Company now holds an indirect ownership interest of approximately 11% in Bremer Kreditbank AG, which operates under the name BKB Bank. The Company together with certain other affiliated investors and unaffiliated third party investors, in aggregate, own 100% of BKB Bank. The Company determined that Champ LP met the definition of a variable interest entity ("VIE") and that the Company was not the primary beneficiary; therefore, the Company did not consolidate the assets and liabilities of the partnership. The Company's investment in Champ LP is accounted for as an equity method investment. Additionally, due to the nature of its investment in BKB Bank, the Company determined Champ LP is an investment company under GAAP, and is therefore reflected at fair value.
