1) Organization and Description of the Business
BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. (“BrightSphere”, “BSIG” or the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is a global asset management company with interests in a diverse group of investment management firms (the “Affiliates”) individually headquartered in the United States. The Company provides investment management services globally to predominantly institutional investors, in asset classes that include U.S. and global equities, fixed income, alternative assets, forestry and secondary strategies focused in real estate and private equity. Fees for services are largely asset-based and, as a result, the Company’s revenue fluctuates based on the performance of financial markets and investors’ asset flows in and out of the Company’s products.
The Company’s Affiliates are organized as limited liability companies. The Company generally utilizes a profit-sharing model in structuring its compensation and ownership arrangements with its Affiliates. The Affiliates’ variable compensation is generally based on each firm’s profitability. BSIG and Affiliate key employees share in profits after variable compensation according to their respective ownership interests. The profit-sharing model results in the alignment of BSIG and Affiliate key employee economic interests, which is critical to the Company’s talent management strategy and long-term growth of the business. The Company conducts its operations through the following three reportable segments:
• Quant & Solutions —comprised of versatile, often highly-tailored strategies that leverage data and technology in a computational, factor based investment process across a range of asset classes and geographies, including Global, non-U.S., emerging markets and managed volatility equities, as well as multi-asset products.
• Alternatives —comprised of illiquid and differentiated liquid investment strategies that include private equity, real estate and real assets, including forestry, as well as a growing suite of liquid alternative capabilities in areas such as long/short, market neutral and absolute return.
• Liquid Alpha (1) —comprised of specialized investment strategies with a focus on alpha-generation across market cycles in long-only small-, mid-, and large-cap U.S., global, non-U.S. and emerging markets equities, as well as fixed income.
(1) In July 2020, the Company completed the sale of Copper Rock Capital Partners LLC (“Copper Rock”) and announced the divestiture of Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (“Barrow Hanley”). See Note 3, Divestitures and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale for further discussion of divestitures and Affiliate assets and liabilities held for sale.
Prior to 2014, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Mutual plc (“OM plc”), an international long-term savings, protection and investment group, listed on the London Stock Exchange. On October 15, 2014, the Company completed the initial public offering (the “Offering”) by OM plc pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Additionally, between the Offering and February 25, 2019, the Company, OM plc and/or HNA Capital U.S. (“HNA”) completed a series of transactions in the Company’s shares, including a two-step transaction announced on March 25, 2017 for a sale by OM plc of a 24.95 % shareholding in the Company to HNA and a two-step transaction announced on November 19, 2018 for a sale of the substantial majority of the ordinary shares held by HNA of the Company to Paulson & Co. (“Paulson”). On February 25, 2019, this transaction was completed and Paulson held approximately 21.7 % of the ordinary shares of the Company. The remaining shares held by HNA were bought back by the Company in the first quarter of 2019.

1) Organization and Description of the Business (cont.)
On July 12, 2019, the BrightSphere corporate group, which consisted of BrightSphere Investment Group plc, a public company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and its operating subsidiaries (such operating subsidiaries and the holding company collectively, the “BrightSphere Group”), completed a redomestication, resulting in BrightSphere Investment Group Inc., a Delaware corporation, becoming the publicly traded parent company of BrightSphere Group (the “Redomestication”). The scheme of arrangement pursuant to which the Redomestication was effected was approved by the Company’s shareholders and the High Court of Justice of England and Wales. Effective as of the close of business on July 12, 2019, all issued ordinary shares of BrightSphere Investment Group plc were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. As a result, all outstanding shareholders of BrightSphere Investment Group plc became common stockholders of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. The common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. began trading on July 15, 2019, and the Company’s trading symbol on the NYSE remained unchanged as “BSIG.”
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did no t repurchase any shares of common stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 5,667,962 shares of common stock at an average price of $ 6.20 per share, or approximately $ 35.3 million in total, including commissions.
2) Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows:
Basis of presentation
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the historical balance sheets, statements of operations and of comprehensive income, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows of the Company. Within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, OM plc, HNA, Paulson and their related entities, as defined above, are referred to as “related parties.”
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. All dollar amounts, except per-share data in the text and tables herein, are stated in millions unless otherwise indicated. Transactions between the Company and its related parties are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, however, material intercompany balances and transactions among the Company, its consolidated Affiliates and consolidated Funds are eliminated in consolidation.
As a result of the Redomestication on July 12, 2019, discussed in Note 1, the Company revised its equity accounts to reflect a U.S. domiciled company presentation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ equity and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. The previously issued ordinary shares of BrightSphere Investment Group plc were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. The Redomestication and related internal reorganization was accounted for consistent with a reorganization of entities under common control in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations . Accordingly, the transfer of the assets and liabilities and exchange of shares was recorded in the new entity (BrightSphere Investment Group Inc.) at their carrying amounts from the transferring entity (BrightSphere Investment Group plc) at the date of transfer.

Use of estimates
The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were characterized by heightened uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results could differ from such estimates, and the differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently adopted accounting standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This standard modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. Notably, this guidance removes the disclosure requirements for the valuation processes for Level III fair value measurements. This guidance also adds new disclosure requirements for the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop fair value measurements categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company has determined that the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
New accounting standards not yet adopted
The Company has considered all other newly issued accounting guidance that is applicable to the Company’s operations and the preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including those that have not yet been adopted. The Company does not believe that any such guidance has or will have a material effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

(1) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are comprised of financial investments managed by the Company's Affiliates.
Equity securities, including common and preferred stock, short-term investment funds, other investments and derivatives which are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified as Level I. The securities that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs obtained by the Company from independent pricing services are classified as Level II.
The Company obtains prices from independent pricing services that may utilize broker quotes, but generally the independent pricing services will use various other pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data. The Company has not made adjustments to the prices provided. Assets of consolidated Funds also include investments in bank loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market participant quotations are readily available are valued at the average mid-point of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. These assets are classified as Level II.

5) Fair Value Measurements (cont.)
If the pricing services are only able to (a) obtain a single broker quote or (b) utilize a pricing model, such securities are classified as Level III. If the pricing services are unable to provide prices, the Company attempts to obtain one or more broker quotes directly from a dealer or values such securities at the last bid price obtained. In either case, such securities are classified as Level III. The Company performs due diligence procedures over third party pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process to ensure compliance with required accounting disclosures.
(2) Investments in separate accounts of $ 29.5 million at September 30, 2020 consist of approximately 2 % of cash equivalents and 98 % of equity securities, fixed income securities, and other investments. Investments in separate accounts of $ 44.3 million at December 31, 2019 consist of approximately 3 % of cash equivalents and 97 % of equity securities, fixed income securities, and other investments. The Company values these using the published price of the underlying securities (classified as Level I) or quoted price supported by observable inputs as of the measurement date (classified as Level II).
(3) Investments related to long-term incentive compensation plans of $ 66.1 million and $ 88.8 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were investments in publicly registered daily redeemable funds (some managed by Affiliates), which the Company has classified as trading securities and valued using the published price as of the measurement dates. Accordingly, the Company has classified these investments as Level I.
(4) The uncategorized amounts of $ 16.4 million and $ 48.2 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, relate to investments in unconsolidated Funds which consist primarily of investments in Funds advised by Affiliates and are valued using NAV which the Company relies on to determine their fair value as a practical expedient and has therefore not classified these investments in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These unconsolidated Funds consist primarily of real estate investment Funds, UCITS and other investment vehicles. The NAVs that have been provided by investees have been derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the measurement dates. UCITS and other investment vehicles are not subject to redemption restrictions.
The real estate investment Funds of $ 5.9 million and $ 6.4 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are subject to longer than quarterly redemption restrictions, and due to their nature, distributions are received only as cash flows are generated from underlying assets over the life of the Funds. The range of time over which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by the investees is approximately one year to eleven years from September 30, 2020. The valuation process for the underlying real estate investments held by the real estate investment Funds begins with each property or loan being valued by the investment teams. The valuations are then reviewed and approved by the valuation committee, which consists of senior members of the portfolio management, acquisitions, and research teams. For certain properties and loans, the valuation process may also include a valuation by independent appraisers. In connection with this process, changes in fair value measurements from period to period are evaluated for reasonableness, considering items such as market rents, capitalization and discount rates, and general economic and market conditions.
Investments in unconsolidated Funds categorized as Level III of $ 2.7 million and $ 3.0 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to investments in Forestry Funds advised by Affiliates and are valued by the general partner of those Funds. Determination of estimated fair value involves subjective judgment because the actual fair value can be determined only through negotiation between parties in a sale transaction, and amounts ultimately realized may vary significantly from the fair value presented.

6) Variable Interest Entities
The Company, through its Affiliates, sponsors the formation of various entities considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These VIEs are primarily Funds managed by Affiliates and other partnership interests typically owned entirely by third party investors. Certain Funds may be capitalized with seed capital investments from the Company and may be owned partially by Affiliate key employees and/or individuals that own non-controlling interests in an Affiliate.
The Company’s determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a Fund that is a VIE is based in part on an assessment of whether or not the Company and its related parties are exposed to absorb more than an insignificant amount of the risks and rewards of the entity. Typically, the Fund’s investors are entitled to substantially all of the economics of these VIEs with the exception of the management fees and performance fees, if any, earned by the Company or any investment the Company has made into the Funds. The Company generally is not the primary beneficiary of Fund VIEs created to manage assets for clients unless the Company’s ownership interest, including interests of related parties, is substantial.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of Funds that are VIEs and consolidated by the Company (in millions):

Liabilities

Liabilities of consolidated Funds held for sale (Note 3) 0.1 —
Total Liabilities $ 0.1 $ 6.2
“Investments at fair value” consist of investments in bank loans, common and preferred stock, and other securities as of December 31, 2019. These investments are included in the “assets of consolidated Funds held for sale” as of September 30, 2020. To the extent the Company also has consolidated Funds that are not VIEs, the assets and liabilities of those Funds are not included in the table above.
The assets of consolidated VIEs presented in the table above belong to the investors in those Funds, are available for use only by the Fund to which they belong, and are not available for use by the Company to the extent they are held by non-controlling interests. Any debt or liabilities held by consolidated Funds have no recourse to the Company's general credit.
The Company’s involvement with Funds that are VIEs and not consolidated by the Company is generally limited to that of an investment manager and its investment in the unconsolidated VIE, if any. The Company’s investment in any unconsolidated VIE generally represents an insignificant interest of the Fund’s net assets and assets under management, such that the majority of the VIEs results are attributable to third parties. The Company’s exposure to risk in these entities is generally limited to any capital contribution it has made or is required to make and any earned but uncollected management fees. The Company has not issued any investment performance guarantees to these VIEs or their investors.

The Amendment includes changes to the Credit Agreement to permit the sale of the Company's equity interests in Barrow Hanley (the “Barrow Hanley Sale”). Under the Credit Agreement, the Barrow Hanley Sale required consent of the Lenders given that Barrow Hanley accounted for more than 10 % of the Company's consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. The Amendment provides that, effective immediately upon the consummation of the Barrow Hanley Sale, the Lenders commitments under the Credit Agreement shall be $ 150 million.

Due to the decline in the Company’s assets under management for the three months ended March 31, 2020, management determined that an interim impairment assessment was necessary as of March 31, 2020.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test for Copper Rock reporting unit which was included within the Liquid Alpha segment prior to its disposition. The quantitative impairment test concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value. Accordingly, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $ 16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. No goodwill

impairment charges were recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $ 16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using the income approach, which calculates the fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of Assets Under Management (“AUM”) growth rates, product mix and effective fee rates, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rates used are based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics. The Company’s quantitative impairment analysis at March 31, 2020 incorporated revised forecasts that took into account the market disruptions during the quarter and its impact on the results in future periods. Given the significant level of uncertainty that currently exists, management also considered alternative scenarios for market and reporting unit performance over the next several years. If the Company’s assets under management are further impacted by the global economic conditions caused by COVID-19, such as adverse and significant declines in the value of global financial markets, additional impairments of goodwill or intangible assets are possible in future periods.

The Company also acquired a $ 1.0 million indefinite-lived intangible trade name in the acquisition of Landmark, included in acquired intangibles, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2020 and 2019.
The 2019 annual impairment assessment of definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets determined that no impairment existed. Due to the decline in the Company’s assets under management in the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company assessed definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it was more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset was not impaired. For definite-lived intangible assets, no events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. As such, no impairment charges were determined for both the definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets. No impairment charges were determined for the definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company estimates that its consolidated annual amortization expense, assuming no useful life changes or additional investments in new or existing Affiliates, for each of the next five fiscal years is as follows (in millions):

10) Commitments and Contingencies
Operational commitments
The Company had unfunded commitments to invest up to approximately $ 37 million in co-investments as of September 30, 2020. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of the respective investment periods ranging through fiscal 2022.
Certain Affiliates operate under regulatory authorities that require that they maintain minimum financial or capital requirements. Management is not aware of any violations of such financial requirements occurring during the period.
Guaranty
The Company entered into a guaranty for an office space security deposit on behalf of an Affiliate in the amount of $ 2.5 million in January 2020. This represents the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the Company could be required to make under the guaranty in the event of default by the guaranteed parties. This guaranty expires in 2022. There are no liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020 related to this guaranty.
Litigation
The Company and its Affiliates are subject to claims, legal proceedings and other contingencies in the ordinary course of their business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved in a manner unfavorable to the Company or its Affiliates. The Company and its Affiliates establish accruals for matters for which the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. If an insurance claim or other indemnification for a litigation accrual is available to the Company, the associated gain will not be recognized until all contingencies related to the gain have been resolved. As of September 30, 2020, there were no material accruals for claims, legal proceedings or other contingencies.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, such as through agreements to enter into business combinations and divestitures of Affiliates, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred.
Foreign tax contingency
The Company has clients in non-U.S. jurisdictions which require entities that are conducting certain business activities in such jurisdictions to collect and remit tax assessed on certain fees paid for goods and services provided. The Company does not believe this requirement is applicable based on its limited business activities in these jurisdictions. However, given the fact that uncertainty exists around the requirement, the Company has chosen to evaluate its potential exposure related to non-collection and remittance of these taxes. At September 30, 2020, management of the Company has estimated the potential maximum exposure and concluded that it is not material. No accrual for the potential exposure has been recorded as the probability of incurring any potential liability relating to this exposure is not probable at September 30, 2020.

10) Commitments and Contingencies (cont.)
Considerations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and investments. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short term investments with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are typically located in cities in which the Company and its Affiliates operate. For the Company and certain Affiliates, cash deposits at a financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. Additionally, the Company holds insurance policies which cover historical and future tax benefits relating to certain of its deferred tax assets. The insurers of the policies are considered a significant counterparty to the Company.
11) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to controlling interests by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, but is adjusted for the effect of potentially issuable common stock, except when inclusion is antidilutive.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock is as follows (dollars in millions, except per share data):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2020 2019 2020 2019
Numerator:
Net income attributable to controlling interests $ 37.2 $ 75.4 $ 88.7 $ 156.1
Less: Total income available to participating unvested securities (1)
— — — ( 0.1 )
Total net income attributable to common stock $ 37.2 $ 75.4 $ 88.7 $ 156.0
Denominator:

Basic $ 0.46 $ 0.84 $ 1.08 $ 1.68
Diluted $ 0.46 $ 0.84 $ 1.08 $ 1.68
(1) Income available to participating unvested securities includes dividends paid on unvested restricted shares and their proportionate share of undistributed earnings.

11) Earnings Per Share (cont.)
Employee options to purchase 8,970,000 shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 because the assumed proceeds from exercising such options exceed the average price of the shares of common stock for the period and, therefore, the options are deemed antidilutive.
12) Revenue
Management fees
The Company’s management fees are a function of the fee rates the Affiliates charge to their clients, which are typically expressed in basis points, and the levels of the Company’s assets under management. The most significant driver of increases or decreases in this average fee rate is changes in the mix of the Company’s assets under management caused by net inflows or outflows in certain asset classes or disproportionate market movements. For certain of the Company’s Alternative funds, management fee revenue is calculated based on a percentage of assets under management or total capital commitments. These Alternative funds can also include “catch-up” provisions such that the Company records revenue for payments of fund management fees back to the initial closing date for funds with multiple closings, less placement fees paid to third parties related to these funds.
Performance fees
The Company’s products subject to performance fees earn these fees upon exceeding high-water mark performance thresholds or outperforming a hurdle rate. Conversely, the separate accounts / other products, which primarily earn management fees, are potentially subject to performance adjustments up or down based on investment performance versus benchmarks (i.e. fulcrum fees).
Other revenue
Included in other revenue are certain payroll and benefits costs and expenses paid on behalf of Funds by the Company’s Affiliates. In instances where a customer reimburses the Company for a cost paid on the customer’s behalf, the Company is acting as a principal and the reimbursement is accrued on a gross basis at cost as the corresponding reimbursable expenses are incurred. Revenue from expense reimbursement amounted to $ 1.1 million and $ 0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenues from expense reimbursement amounted to $ 3.3 million and $ 3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are recorded in other revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other revenue may also consist of other miscellaneous revenue, consisting primarily of administration and consulting services.
Disaggregation of management fee revenue
The Company classifies its revenue (including only consolidated Affiliates that are included in management fee revenue) among the following asset classes:
i. U.S. equity, which includes small cap through large cap securities and substantially value or blended investment styles;
ii. Global / non-U.S. equity, which includes global and international equities including emerging markets;

iii. Fixed income, which includes government bonds, corporate bonds and other fixed income investments in the United States; and
iv. Alternatives, which is comprised of illiquid and differentiated liquid investment strategies that include private equity, real estate and real assets, including forestry, as well as a growing suite of liquid alternative capabilities in areas such as long/short, market neutral and absolute return.
Management fee revenue by segment and asset class is comprised of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30 (in millions):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,

14) Derivatives and Hedging
Cash flow hedge
In July 2015, the Company entered into a series of $ 300.0 million notional Treasury rate lock contracts which were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. The Company documented its hedging strategy and risk management objective for this contract in anticipation of a future debt issuance. The Treasury rate lock contract eliminated the impact of fluctuations in the underlying benchmark interest rate for future forecasted debt issuances. The Company assessed the effectiveness of the hedging contract at inception and on a quarterly basis thereafter. The forecasted debt issuances occurred in July 2016 and the Treasury rate lock, which had an accumulated fair value of $( 34.4 ) million, was settled. Refer to Note 7, Borrowings and Debt, for additional information on the debt issuances.
As of September 30, 2020, the balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was $( 18.6 ) million, net of tax. This balance will be reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the issued debt. Amounts of $ 0.8 million and $ 0.7 million have been reclassified for each of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Amounts of $ 2.3 million and $ 2.2 million have been reclassified for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the next twelve months the Company expects to reclassify approximately $ 3.3 million to interest expense.
Derivatives of consolidated Funds
In the normal course of business, the Company’s consolidated Funds may enter into transactions involving derivative financial instruments in connection with Funds’ investing activities. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Funds can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Funds. The Funds may also use derivatives to manage duration; sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility. Derivative financial instruments base their value upon an underlying asset, index or reference rate. These instruments are subject to various risks, including leverage, market, credit, liquidity and operational risks. The Funds manage the risks associated with derivatives on an aggregate basis, along with the risks associated with its trading and as part of its overall risk management policies.

15) Segments
The Company has the following business segments:
• Quant & Solutions —comprised of versatile, often highly-tailored strategies that leverage data and technology in a computational, factor based investment process across a range of asset classes and geographies, including Global, non-U.S., emerging markets and managed volatility equities, as well as multi-asset products.
• Alternatives —comprised of illiquid and differentiated liquid investment strategies that include private equity, real estate and real assets, including forestry, as well as a growing suite of liquid alternative capabilities in areas such as long/short, market neutral and absolute return.
• Liquid Alpha (1) —comprised of specialized investment strategies with a focus on alpha-generation across market cycles in long-only small-, mid-, and large-cap U.S., global, non-U.S. and emerging markets equities, as well as fixed income.
(1) In July 2020, the Company completed the sale of Copper Rock and announced the divestiture of Barrow Hanley. See Note 3, Divestitures and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale, for further discussion of divestitures. The financial results of Copper Rock are included in the Liquid Alpha segment until July 24, 2020, the completion of the sale. The financial results of Barrow Hanley are included in the Liquid Alpha segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company has a corporate head office that is included in “Other”. The corporate head office supports the segments by providing infrastructure and administrative support in the areas of accounting/finance, information technology, legal, compliance and human resources. The corporate head office expenses are not allocated to the Company’s three business segments but the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) does consider the cost structure of the corporate head office when evaluating the financial performance of the segments.
Performance Measure
The primary measure used by the CODM in measuring performance and allocating resources to the segments is Economic Net Income ("ENI"). The Company defines ENI for the segments as ENI revenue less (i) ENI operating expenses, (ii) variable compensation and (iii) key employee distributions. The ENI adjustments to U.S. GAAP include both reclassifications of U.S. GAAP revenue and expense items, as well as adjustments to U.S. GAAP results, primarily to exclude non-cash, non-economic expenses, or to reflect cash benefits not recognized under U.S. GAAP. This measure supplements and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company does not disclose total asset information for its reportable segments as the information is not reviewed by the CODM.
ENI revenue includes management fees, performance fees and other revenue under U.S. GAAP, adjusted to include management fees paid to Affiliates by consolidated Funds and the Company’s share of earnings from equity-accounted Affiliates. ENI revenue is also adjusted to exclude the separate revenues recorded under U.S. GAAP for certain Fund expenses reimbursed to our Affiliates.

15) Segments (cont.)
ENI operating expenses include compensation and benefits, general and administrative expense, and depreciation and amortization under U.S. GAAP, adjusted to exclude non-cash expenses representing changes in the value of Affiliate equity and profit interests held by Affiliate key employees, non-cash amortization of employee equity owned pre-acquisition that occurred as a result of Landmark transaction, goodwill impairment and amortization of acquired intangible assets, capital transaction costs, restructuring costs, the impact of a one-time compensation arrangement entered into that includes advances against future compensation payments, and the separate expenses recorded under U.S. GAAP for certain Fund expenses reimbursed to Affiliates. Additionally, variable compensation and Affiliate key employee distributions are segregated from ENI operating expenses.
ENI segment results are also adjusted to exclude the portion of consolidated Fund revenues, expenses and investment return recorded under U.S. GAAP.
