Variable Interest Entity [Abstract] |
Variable interest entities ("VIEs") | Variable interest entities ("VIEs") The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any VIEs where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company serves as general partner of hedge funds and private equity funds that were established for the purpose of providing alternative investments to both its institutional and qualified retail clients. The Company's investment in and additional capital commitments to these hedge funds and private equity funds are considered variable interests. The Company's additional capital commitments are subject to call at a later date and are limited to the amount committed. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of the hedge funds and private equity funds in which it holds a variable interest in the form of general and limited partner interests. In each instance, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary and therefore need not consolidate the hedge funds or private equity funds. The subsidiaries' general and limited partnership interests and additional capital commitments represent their maximum exposure to loss. The subsidiaries' general partnership and limited partnership interests are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any hedge funds and private equity funds that are VIEs. The Company serves as general partner of Oppenheimer Acquisition LLC I and Oppenheimer Acquisition LLC II (the "Sponsors"). They are sponsors of two special purpose acquisition companies, OHAA and Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp. II (the "SPACs”), that are seeking to effect a transaction which could be in the form of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Sponsors and the SPACs are consolidated VIE's as the Company is the primary beneficiary. On October 26, 2021, OHAA consummated its $126.5 million IPO. The Company and its employees control OHAA through the Sponsor's ownership of Class A founder shares of OHAA. As a result, both OHAA and the Sponsor are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. On December 20, 2022, OHAA’s stockholders approved an amendment to its certificate of incorporation that was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on December 22, 2022 which extends the deadline by which it must complete its initial business combination from April 29, 2023 to October 30, 2023. In connection with its proposal to amend its certificate of incorporation, OHAA was required to give its Class A stockholders the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A common stock. Of the 12,650,000 shares of Class A common stock that were outstanding, a total of 10,170,490 shares exercised their redemption rights. As of June 30, 2023, $25.8 million remained in the trust account that is recorded within “Restricted Cash” on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, OPI was formed in December 2020 and designed to retain and reward talented employees of the Company, primarily in connection with the deployment of Company capital into successful private market investments, and also in connection with the Company's receipt of non-cash compensation from investment banking assignments. OPI is designed to promote alignment of Company, client and employee interests as they relate to profitable investment opportunities. This program acts as an incentive for senior employees to identify attractive private investments for the Company and its clients, and as a retention tool for key employees of the Company. The Company owns the majority voting interest and control of OPI through Oppenheimer Alternative Investment Management (“OAIM”), the managing member of OPI and a subsidiary of OAM. OPI is a consolidated VIE as the Company is the primary beneficiary. The following table sets forth the total assets and liabilities of VIEs consolidated on our condensed consolidated balance sheet:
