Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements The Company determines the fair value of our cash equivalents and certain investments using the following broad levels listed below: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable. Level 3 - Valuations derived from techniques in which significant inputs are unobservable. We do not value any investments using Level 3 inputs. These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments. The following table summarizes investments that are recognized in our consolidated balance sheet using fair value measurements (excludes investments classified as equity method investments) determined based upon the differing levels as of March 31, 2019:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total
Cash equivalents | $ | 68,572,210 |  | $ | — |  | $ | — |  | $ | 68,572,210 |
Fair value investments |  |  |  |
Securities held in Consolidated Funds(a) | 16,967,373 |  | 62,030,035 |  | — |  | $ | 78,997,408 |
Company sponsored investments | 39,533,699 |  | — |  | — |  | $ | 39,533,699 |
(a) Of the securities held in the Consolidated Funds as of March 31, 2019, $48.8 million were held directly by the Company and $30.2 million were held by noncontrolling shareholders. Level 1 investments are comprised of investments in registered investment companies (mutual funds) or equity securities held in the Consolidated Funds and $68.6 million of investments in money market mutual funds owned by DHCM that the Company classifies as cash equivalents. Level 2 investments are comprised of investments in debt securities held in the Consolidated Funds, which are valued by an independent pricing service using pricing techniques which take into account factors such as trading activity, readily available market quotations, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit rates and other observable inputs. The Company determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers in or out of the levels during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Changes to fair values of the investments are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income as investment income (loss), net.
