The following is a discussion of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets measured at fair value: Cash equivalents represent investments in money market funds. Cash investments in money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1. Sponsored funds represent investments in funds for which the Company acts as the investment manager. The fair values of U.S. retail funds and global funds are determined based on their published net asset values and are categorized as Level 1. The fair value of closed-end funds and ETFs is determined based on the official closing price on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1. Equity securities represent securities traded on active markets, are valued at the official closing price (typically the last sale or bid) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded and are categorized as Level 1. Debt securities represent investments in corporate and government bonds and the note securities of collateralized loan obligations ("CLO"). The fair values of corporate and government bonds traded on active markets are valued at the official closing price on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded and are categorized as Level 1. Debt 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, are categorized as Level 2. The fair values of note securities of CLOs are based on valuations received from an independent valuation firm and are categorized as Level 3. The following table presents a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of the Company's Level 3 debt securities:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,

Nonqualified retirement plan assets represent U.S. retail funds within the Company's nonqualified retirement plan whose fair value is determined based on their published net asset value and are categorized as Level 1. Contingent consideration represents liabilities associated with contingent payment arrangements made in connection with the Company's business combinations. In these contingent payment arrangements, the Company agrees to pay additional transaction consideration to the seller based on future performance. Contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value each reporting date using a simulation model with the assistance of an independent valuation firm and approved by management and are categorized as Level 3. The following table presents a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,

Contingent consideration, beginning of period | $ | 20,000 |  |  | $ | 38,408 |  |  | $ | 36,100 |  |  | $ | 56,200 |

Contingent consideration, end of period | $ | 20,000 |  |  | $ | 34,408 |  |  | $ | 20,000 |  |  | $ | 34,408 |
The contingent consideration liability at September 30, 2025 of $20.0 million is related to the NFJ Group transaction. This liability is measured using an options pricing model valuation technique. The most significant unobservable inputs used relate to the revenue growth rates, discount rates (range of 6.06% - 6.12%) and the market price of risk adjustment (6.00%). Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities equal or approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
