Fair value of the accrued performance allocations is reported on a three-month lag from the fund financial statements due to timing of the information provided by the funds and third-party entities unless information is available on a more timely basis. As a result, any changes in the markets in which our managed funds operate, and the impact market conditions have on underlying asset valuations, may not yet be reflected in reported amounts. These changes in market conditions are expected to have a 12% to 17% reduction in our accrued performance allocations during the first quarter of 2024. The Company evaluates each of its equity method investments, excluding accrued performance allocations, to determine if any were significant as defined by the SEC. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, no individual equity method investment held by the Company met the significance criteria. As a result, the Company is not required to provide separate financial statements for any of its equity method investments.
