Investments Debt And Equity Securities [Abstract] |
Non-Marketable Investments | Note 13 — Non-Marketable Investments At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable investments, which were composed of interests in technology-related private equity funds, was $4.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2020, $4.3 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Forrester received a distribution of this amount from the underlying funds during July 2020. The remaining $0.6 million, and the entire balance at December 31, 2019, is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s non-marketable investments are accounted for using the equity method as the investments are limited partnerships and the Company has an ownership interest in excess of 5% and, accordingly, the Company records its share of the investee’s operating results each period. Gains from non-marketable investments were $2.4 million during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and are included in gain (loss) on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains (losses) from non-marketable investments were immaterial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, no distributions were received from the funds.
