Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Compensation Plans | Compensation Plans Share-Based Payment Transactions The Company maintains the shareholder-approved Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. 2022 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of 300,000 common shares of DHIL stock in various forms of equity awards. As of December 31, 2022, there were 292,679 common shares available for grants under the 2022 Plan. Previously, the Company issued equity awards under the Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. 2014 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). There are no longer any common shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan, although grants previously made under the 2014 Plan remain issued and outstanding. Restricted stock grants represent common shares issued and outstanding upon grant subject to vesting restrictions. The Company issues restricted stock grants that cliff vest after five years to all new employees upon hire and additional awards annually to key existing employees in the form of three-year graded vesting stock grants. Restricted stock grants are valued based upon the fair market value of the common shares on the applicable grant date. The restricted stock grants are recorded as deferred compensation in the equity section of the balance sheet on the grant date and then recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the respective grant. The Company's policy is to adjust compensation expense for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation and related costs, excluding deferred compensation expense (benefit) includes expenses related to restricted stock grants of $10.5 million, $7.2 million, and $5.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The following table represents a roll-forward of outstanding restricted stock and related activity for the year ended December 31, 2022:

Since January 1, 2021, the Company has settled the 401(k) plan matching contributions in cash or common shares of the Company based on the election of the employees.

Deferred Compensation Plans The Company offers two deferred compensation plans: the Diamond Hill Fixed Term Deferred Compensation Plan and the Diamond Hill Variable Term Deferred Compensation Plan (together, the “DC Plans”). Under the DC Plans, participants may elect to voluntarily defer, for a minimum of five years, certain incentive compensation that the Company then contributes into the DC Plans. Participants are responsible for designating investment options for assets they contribute, and the distribution paid to each participant reflects any gains or losses on the assets realized in connection with the DC Plans. Assets held in the DC Plans are included in the Company’s investment portfolio, and the associated obligation to participants is included in deferred compensation liability. Deferred compensation liability was $30.7 million and $37.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
