CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATED ENTITIES
One of the Company's indirect subsidiaries is a registered U.S. broker-dealer that is subject to the minimum net capital requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Additionally, one of the Company's indirect subsidiaries based in London is subject to the capital requirements of the U.K. Financial Services Authority, and another based in Hong Kong is subject to the capital requirements of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance.  These entities operate in excess of their respective regulatory capital requirements.
The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may restrict the Company’s ability to withdraw capital from its entities for purposes such as paying cash distributions or advances to the Company. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was approximately $16.0 million and $14.0 million, respectively, of such potentially restricted amounts.
