Investments Under Measurement Alternative
Our investments below represent equity interests in private companies without readily determinable fair values. The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative of cost minus impairment, if any, adjusted for any observable price changes in orderly transactions for these investments. The acquisition cost of Westwood Engineered Beta ("WEBs") is allocated using the relative fair value method between preferred stock and a call option.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 we recorded an unrealized gain of approximately $2.0 million for our investment in TXSE Group Inc ("TXSE") following observable price changes in the third quarter of 2025. No impairments of these investments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024. Balances are shown below (in thousands):
