*	Investments in fixed income funds and other private equity funds are valued using the net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient. The NAVs that have been provided are derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the consolidation date. Refer to Note 20, "Consolidated Investment Products," for additional discussion regarding the fair value of private equity funds.

The tables below summarize as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the nature of investments that are valued using the NAV as a practical expedient and any related liquidation restrictions or other factors which may impact the ultimate value realized:

(1) These investments are expected to be returned through distributions as a result of liquidations of the funds' underlying assets over the weighted average periods indicated.

(2) These investments are not subject to redemption; however, for certain funds, the investors may sell or transfer their interest, which may require approval by the general partner of the underlying funds.

Equity securities are valued under the market approach through use of quoted prices on an exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied and they are categorized within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy; otherwise, they are categorized in level 2.

Fixed income securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these investments are categorized as level 1, 2, or 3.

The following table shows a reconciliation of the beginning and ending fair value measurements for level 3 assets using significant unobservable inputs:
