Consolidated Investment Products [Abstract]  
Consolidated Investment Products Consolidated Investment Products
CIPs consist of mutual and other investment funds, limited partnerships and similar structures and CLOs, all of which are sponsored by the Company, and include both voting interest entities and variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The Company had 64 CIPs, including 13 CLOs, as of March 31, 2022 and 60 CIPs, including 10 CLOs, as of September 30, 2021.
The balances related to CIPs included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

The CIPs did not have a significant impact on net income attributable to the Company during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
The Company has no right to the CIPs’ assets, other than its direct equity investments in them and investment management and other fees earned from them. The debt holders of the CIPs have no recourse to the Company’s assets beyond the level of its direct investment, therefore the Company bears no other risks associated with the CIPs’ liabilities.

__________________
1Based on the relative fair value of the instruments.
If the relevant significant inputs used in the market-based valuations, other than discount for lack of marketability, were independently higher (lower) as of March 31, 2022, the resulting fair value of the assets would be higher (lower). If the relevant significant inputs used in the discounted cash flow valuations, as well as the discount for lack of marketability used in the market-based valuations, were independently higher (lower) as of March 31, 2022, the resulting fair value of the assets would be lower (higher).
