Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Consolidated Sponsored Investment Products | 20. Consolidated Sponsored Investment Products In the normal course of its business, the Company sponsors and is the manager of various types of investment products. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company sponsored and consolidated several mutual funds in which it had a majority voting interest. The consolidation of these investment products has no impact on net income attributable to stockholders. The Company’s risk with respect to these investments is limited to its investment in these products. The Company has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with, these investment products, beyond the Company’s investments in, and fees generated from these products. If the Company were to liquidate, these investments would not be available to the general creditors of the Company. The Company does not consider cash and investments held by consolidated sponsored investment products to be assets of the Company other than its direct investment in these products. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company consolidated eight mutual funds. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company consolidated five additional mutual funds and deconsolidated five mutual funds because it no longer had a majority voting interest. As of December 31, 2013, the Company consolidated a total of eight mutual funds. No mutual funds were consolidated during the year ended December 31, 2011. The following table presents the balances of the consolidated sponsored investment products that were reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

The following is a discussion of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets measured at fair value. Investments of consolidated sponsored investment products represent the underlying debt and equity securities held in sponsored mutual funds in which the Company has an investment and are consolidated by the Company. Equity securities are valued at the official closing price on the exchange on which the securities are traded and are categorized within Level 1. Level 2 investments include certain non-U.S. securities for which closing prices are not readily available or are deemed to not reflect readily available market prices and are valued using an independent pricing service as well as most debt securities, which are valued based on quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized, which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are also included within Level 2. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
