The company has reviewed investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) in accordance with its accounting policy and has recognized $0.8 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges on available-for-sale investments during the year ended December 31, 2012 (year ended December 31, 2011: $1.0 million).

The gross unrealized losses of seed money investments at December 31, 2012 were primarily caused by declines in the market value of the underlying securities in the seeded funds and foreign exchange movements. After conducting a review of the financial condition and near-term prospects of the underlying securities in the seeded funds as well as the severity and duration of the impairment, the company does not consider any material portion of its gross unrealized losses on these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The securities are expected to recover their value over time and the company has the intent and ability to hold the securities until this recovery occurs.


During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no charges to other comprehensive income from other-than-temporary impairment related to non-credit related factors.

The company owns 100% of the voting control of its subsidiary entities, directly or indirectly, with the exception of the following entities, which are consolidated with resulting noncontrolling interests:

Undistributed earnings from equity method investees have not been a material restriction on the company's ability to pay dividends to shareholders. Equity method investments also include the company's investments in certain of its sponsored private equity, real estate and other investment entities. The company's investment is generally less than 5% of the capital of these entities. These entities include variable interest entities for which the company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary and other investment products structured as partnerships for which the company is the general partner and the other limited partners possess either substantive kick-out, liquidation or participation rights. See Note 20, “Consolidated Investment Products,” for additional information.
