Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Under the FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, a fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of October 31, 2019, which were measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
2019 | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total
Assets at fair value: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Equity securities | $ | 17,346 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 17,346 |
