As of December 31, 2025, the Company has a balance of $34,207 included as a component of other investments, at fair value, representing the remaining carrying amount of the financial instruments received as noncash investment banking and new issue revenue. In terms of the remaining exposure to the Company from monetization of these amounts, this would represent the gross potential loss the Company could incur if these assets were liquidated for $0. However, the Company has also accrued $18,467 in compensation to employees related to these amounts. The amount finally due to the employees is based on the final monetized amount (see note 11). The amount of compensation accrued presumes these investments are monetized for their carrying amount. Therefore, if the $34,207 of other investments, at fair value, were liquidated for $0, the net loss for the Company would be $15,740.
