Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Organization Tiptree Financial Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, Tiptree or the Company, or we) is a Maryland Corporation that was incorporated on March 19, 2007. Tiptree is a diversified holding company with five reporting segments: insurance and insurance services, specialty finance, real estate, asset management, and corporate and other. Tiptree’s Class A Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “TIPT”. Tiptree’s primary asset is its ownership of Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. (TFP). Tiptree reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in TFP held by other limited partners of TFP. As of January 1, 2016, Tiptree directly owns approximately 81% of TFP with the remaining 19% held by non-controlling shareholders through their interests in TFP. TFP directly owns 100% of Operating Company. All of Tiptree’s Class B common stock is owned by TFP and is accounted for as treasury stock. Tiptree’s Class B common stock has voting but no economic rights. The limited partners of TFP (other than Tiptree itself) had the ability to exchange TFP partnership units for Tiptree Class A common stock at a rate of 2.798 shares of Class A common stock per partnership unit. For every Class A common stock exchanged in this manner, a share of Class B common stock is canceled. The percentage of TFP (and therefore Operating Company) owned by Tiptree may increase in the future to the extent TFP’s limited partners choose to exchange their limited partnership units of TFP for Class A common stock of Tiptree. Changes in Tiptree’s ownership of TFP will be accounted for as equity transactions, which increase Tiptree’s ownership of TFP and reduce non-controlling interest in TFP without changing total stockholders’ equity of Tiptree.
