Marketable Securities

Marketable securities include the Company's investment in publicly traded equity securities. The amount above excludes the Company's 13.2 million shares in KWE as the investment is eliminated due to the consolidation of KWE's results. Based on the June 30, 2014 share price the Company's investment in KWE is $248.5 million.     

Unconsolidated Investments    
Kennedy Wilson records its investments in KW Property Fund III, L.P. and Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. (the "Funds") based upon the net assets that would be allocated to its interests in the Funds assuming the Funds were to liquidate their investments at fair value as of the reporting date. Kennedy Wilson’s investment balance in the Funds was $31.0 million and $33.5 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which is included in unconsolidated investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2014, Kennedy Wilson had unfunded capital commitments to the Funds in the amount of $4.5 million.
Kennedy Wilson elected to use the fair value option ("FV Option") for two unconsolidated investment entities to more accurately reflect the timing of the value created in the underlying investments and report those results in current operations. Kennedy Wilson's investment balance in the FV Option investments was $47.5 million and $47.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which is included in unconsolidated investments in the accompanying balance sheets.
In estimating fair value of real estate held by the Funds and the two FV Option investments, Kennedy Wilson considers significant unobservable inputs such as capitalization and discount rates.

In valuing real estate, related assets and indebtedness, Kennedy Wilson considers significant inputs such as the term of the debt, value of collateral, market loan-to-value ratios, market interest rates and spreads, and credit quality of investment entities. The credit spreads used by Kennedy Wilson for these types of investments range from 0.76% to 12.00%.
The accuracy of estimating fair value for investments utilizing unobservable inputs cannot be determined with precision and cannot be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets. As such, estimated fair value may not be realized in a current sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including cap rates, discount rates, liquidity risks, and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts.
Currency forward contracts
Kennedy Wilson has currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations between its functional currency (U.S. dollars) and the functional currency (euros, GBP, and JPY) of certain of its wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries. To accomplish this objective, Kennedy Wilson hedged these exposures by entering into currency forward contracts to partially hedge Kennedy Wilson's exposure to its net investment in certain foreign operations caused by currency fluctuations. The currency forward contracts are valued based on the difference between the contract rate and the forward rate at maturity of the foreign currency applied to the notional value in that foreign currency discounted at a market rate for similar risks. Although Kennedy Wilson has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the counterparty risk adjustments associated with the derivative utilize Level 3 inputs. However, as of June 30, 2014, Kennedy Wilson assessed the significance of the impact of the counterparty valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the counterparty valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative. As a result, Kennedy Wilson has determined that its derivative valuation in its entirety be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as the portion of the currency forward contract used to hedge currency exposure of its certain wholly owned subsidiaries qualifies as a net investment hedge under FASB ASC Topic 815. The fair value of the derivative instruments held as of June 30, 2014 are reported in other assets for hedge assets and included in accrued expenses and other liabilities for hedge liabilities on the balance sheet. See note 12 for a complete discussion on other comprehensive income including currency forward contracts and foreign currency translations.

(1) Hedge is held by KWE on its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(2) Hedge is held by KWR on its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(3) Hedges are presented gross in the consolidated balance sheet. Hedge assets are included in other assets and hedge liabilities are included in other liabilities.    

In order to manage currency fluctuations between KWR's functional currency (U.S. dollar) and the functional currency of KWR's wholly owned subsidiaries (Japanese yen), KWR entered into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of its currency risk. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of gross unrealized losses related to these hedges. Due to the consolidation of KWR as of June 30, 2014, the hedge asset relating to the forward foreign currency contracts was consolidated at fair value.

In order to manage currency fluctuations between KWE's functional currency (GBP) and the functional currency of certain wholly owned subsidiaries (Euro), KWE entered into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of its currency risk. Due to the consolidation of KWE, the hedge liability relating to the forward foreign currency contracts was consolidated at fair value.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable including related party receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, accrued salaries and benefits, and deferred and accrued income taxes approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of loans (excluding related party loans as they are presumed not to be an arm’s length transaction) approximates fair value as the terms are similar to loans with similar characteristics available in the market.
The Company accounts for its debt liabilities at face value plus net unamortized debt premiums and any fair value adjustments as part of business combinations. The fair value as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for the senior notes payable, investment debt and junior subordinated debentures were estimated to be approximately $2,319.7 million and $878.2 million, respectively, based on a comparison of the yield that would be required in a current transaction, taking into consideration the risk of the underlying collateral and our credit risk to the current yield of a similar security, compared to their carrying value of $2,274.7 million and $850.8 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
