Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]  
Investments
7. Investments
The Company’s invested assets consist of investment securities and other long-term investments held for general investment purposes. The portfolio of investment securities includes debt securities held for trading, debt securities available for sale, short-term investments, equity securities, and other long-term investments which are classified as trading securities with the exception of debt securities held as available for sale. Realized investment gains and losses on debt securities are reported in
pre-tax revenues. Unrealized investment gains and losses on debt securities are reported based on classification. Trading securities flow through pre-tax revenues, whereas securities classified as available for sale (“AFS”) flow through other comprehensive income (loss).
For debt securities classified as AFS for which a decline in the fair value between the amortized cost is due to credit-related factors, an allowance is established for the difference between the estimated recoverable value and amortized cost with a corresponding impact to the consolidated statements of income (loss). The allowance is limited to the difference between amortized cost and fair value. A credit losses impairment assessment is performed on securities using both quantitative and qualitative factors. Qualitative factors include significant declines in fair value below amortized cost. Additionally, a qualitative assessment is also performed over debt securities to evaluate potential credit losses. Examples of qualitative indicators include issuer credit downgrades as well as changes to credit spreads.
Declines in fair value related to a debt security that do not relate to a credit loss are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Investment in Third Point Enhanced LP
On February 23, 2022, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement of Third Point Enhanced LP with Third Point Advisors LLC (“TP GP”) and the other parties thereto (the “2022 LPA”), which amended and restated the Third Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement dated August 6, 2020 (the “2020 LPA”).
The TP Enhanced Fund investment strategy, as implemented by Third Point LLC, is intended to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns by deploying capital in both long and short investments with favorable risk/reward characteristics across select asset classes, sectors and geographies. Third Point LLC identifies investment opportunities via a bottom-up, value-oriented approach to single security analysis supplemented by a top-down view of portfolio and risk management. Third Point LLC seeks dislocations in certain areas of the capital markets or in the pricing of particular securities and supplements single security analysis with an approach to portfolio construction that includes sizing each investment based on upside/downside calculations, all with a view towards appropriately positioning and managing overall exposures.
The 2020 LPA was amended and restated to, among other things:
add the right to withdraw the Company’s capital accounts in TP Enhanced Fund as of any month-end in accordance with an agreed withdrawal schedule to be reinvested in, or contractually committed to, the Third Point Optimized Credit portfolio (the “TPOC Portfolio”), or other Third Point strategies (“TPE Withdrawn Amounts”);
remove restrictions on the Company’s withdrawal rights following a change of control with respect to the Company;
authorize the Company’s Chief Investment Officer to exercise all decisions under the 2022 LPA, without the need for separate approval from the Investment Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors;
provide that the Company may amend the investment guidelines of the 2022 LPA from time to time for risk management purposes in consultation with TP GP;
provide that the Company and TP GP may discuss the adoption of new risk parameters for TP Enhanced Fund from time to time, and TP GP will work with the Company to create additional risk management guidelines responsive to the Company’s needs that do not fundamentally alter the general investment strategy or investment approach of TP Enhanced Fund;
provide that the Company may increase or decrease TP Enhanced Fund’s leverage targets upon reasonable prior notice to meet the business needs of the Company; and
revise the “cause event” materiality qualifier with respect to violations of law related to Third Point LLC’s investment-related business and Third Point LLC being subject to regulatory proceedings to include events that will likely have a material adverse effect on Third Point LLC’s ability to provide investment management services to TP Enhanced Fund and/or the TPOC Portfolio.
All other material terms of the 2022 LPA remain consistent with the 2020 LPA.
Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement
On February 23, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement (the “2022 IMA”) with Third Point LLC and the other parties thereto, which amended and restated the Investment Management Agreement dated August 6, 2020.
Pursuant to the 2022 IMA, Third Point LLC provides discretionary investment management services with respect to a newly established TPOC Portfolio, subject to investment and risk management guidelines, and continues to provide certain non-discretionary investment advisory services to the Company. The Company agreed to contribute to the TPOC Portfolio amounts withdrawn from TP Enhanced Fund on January 31, 2022 that were not invested or committed for investment in other Third Point strategies. The 2022 IMA contains revised term and termination rights, withdrawal rights, incentive fees, management fees, investment guidelines and advisory fees.
For the investment management services provided in respect of the TPOC Portfolio, the Company will pay Third Point LLC, from the assets of each sub-account, an annual incentive fee equal to 15% of outperformance over a specified benchmark. The Company will also pay Third Point LLC a monthly management fee equal to one twelfth of 0.50% (0.50% per annum) of the TPOC Portfolio, net of any expenses, and a fixed advisory fee for the advisory services equal to 1/4 of $1,500,000 per quarter.
Under the 2022 IMA, the Company may withdraw any amount from the TPOC Portfolio as of any month-end up to (i) the full balance of any sub-account established in respect of any capital contribution not in respect of TPE Withdrawn Amounts and (ii) any net profits in respect of any other sub-account. The Company may withdraw the TPOC Portfolio in full on March 31, 2026, and each successive anniversary of such date. The Company will have the right to withdraw funds monthly from the TPOC Portfolio upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the 2022 IMA, including, within 120 days following the occurrence of a Cause Event (as defined in the 2022 LPA), to meet capital adequacy requirements, to prevent a negative
credit rating, for risk management purposes, underperformance of the TPOC Portfolio relative to investment funds managed by third-party managers and pursuing the same or substantially similar investment strategy as the TPOC Portfolio (i.e., which measure performance relative to the benchmark) for two or more consecutive calendar years or a Key Person Event (as defined in the 2022 LPA), subject to certain limitations on such withdrawals as specified in the 2022 IMA. The Company is also entitled to withdraw funds from the TPOC Portfolio in order to satisfy its risk management guidelines, upon prior written notice to Third Point LLC, in an amount not to exceed the Risk Management Withdrawable Amount (as defined in the 2022 LPA).
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no unfunded commitments related to TP Enhanced Fund.
