1. Description of Business | |
Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the "Company," "we," "our" and "us") derive revenues from investment management services, investment product underwriting and distribution, and shareholder services administration provided to the Waddell & Reed Advisors Group of Mutual Funds (the "Advisors Funds"), Ivy Funds (the "Ivy Funds"), Ivy Funds Variable Insurance Portfolios (the "Ivy Funds VIP") and InvestEd Portfolios ("InvestEd") (collectively, the Advisors Funds, Ivy Funds, Ivy Funds VIP and InvestEd are referred to as the "Funds"), and institutional and separately managed accounts. The Funds and the institutional and separately managed accounts operate under various rules and regulations set forth by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Services to the Funds are provided under investment management agreements, underwriting agreements and shareholder servicing and accounting service agreements that set forth the fees to be charged for these services. The majority of these agreements are subject to annual review and approval by each Fund's board of trustees. Our revenues are largely dependent on the total value and composition of assets under management. Accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets and composition of assets under management can significantly impact revenues and results of operations. | |

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts in the accompanying financial statements and notes are rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified for consistent presentation. | |
The Company operates in one business segment. Although the Company does provide supplemental disclosure regarding assets under management and underwriting revenues and expenses by distribution channel, the Company's determination that it operates in one business segment is based on the fact that the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial results, assesses performance and allocates resources at the consolidated level. | |
Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted an amended accounting standard to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to present separately for each component of comprehensive income, the current period reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income affected by the reclassification. The adoption was effective prospectively and did not have any effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. | |
In 2012, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Legend group of subsidiaries ("Legend") and the sale closed effective January 1, 2013. The operational results of Legend have been reclassified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Unless otherwise stated, footnote references refer to continuing operations. | |
Use of Estimates | |
GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, valuation of assets, pension and postretirement obligations, and contingencies. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Actual results could differ from our estimates. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term investments. We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities upon acquisition of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents – restricted represents cash held for the benefit of customers segregated in compliance with federal and other regulations. | |
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximates carrying value. Fair value of long-term debt is disclosed in the indebtedness footnote. Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. Otherwise, fair values for investment securities are based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs detailed in Note 4. | |
Investment Securities and Investments in Affiliated Mutual Funds | |
Our investments are comprised of United States, state and government obligations, corporate debt securities and investments in affiliated mutual funds. Investments are classified as available for sale or trading. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of related tax effects, are excluded from earnings until realized and are reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. For trading securities, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method for investment securities, other than mutual funds. For mutual funds, realized gains and losses are computed using the average cost method. | |
Our available for sale investments are reviewed each quarter and adjusted for other than temporary declines in value. We consider factors affecting the issuer and the industry the issuer operates in, general market trends including interest rates, and our ability and intent to hold an investment until it has recovered. Consideration is given to the length of time an investment's market value has been below carrying value and prospects for recovery to carrying value. When a decline in the fair value of equity securities is determined to be other than temporary, the unrealized loss recorded net of tax in other comprehensive income is realized as a charge to net income and a new cost basis is established for financial reporting purposes. When a decline in the fair value of debt securities is determined to be other than temporary, the amount of the impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If so, the other than temporary impairment recognized in earnings is equal to the entire difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If not, the portion of the impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings while the portion of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. | |
Property and Equipment | |
Property and equipment are carried at cost. The costs of improvements that extend the life of a fixed asset are capitalized, while the costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are calculated and recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset (or lease term if shorter), generally three to 10 years for furniture and fixtures; one to 10 years for computer software; two to five years for data processing equipment; five to 30 years for buildings; three to 26 years for other equipment; and up to 15 years for leasehold improvements, which is the lesser of the lease term or expected life. | |
Software Developed for Internal Use | |
Certain internal costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use are capitalized in accordance with "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Topic," ASC 350. Internal costs capitalized are included in property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets, and were $10.4 million and $9.6 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization begins when the software project is complete and ready for its intended use and continues over the estimated useful life, generally one to 10 years. | |
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets | |
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the Company's investment in the net assets of acquired companies over the fair value of the underlying identifiable net assets at the dates of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed annually for impairment in the second quarter of each year and when events or circumstances occur that indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Factors that the Company considers important in determining whether an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets might exist include significant continued underperformance compared to peers, the likelihood of termination or non-renewal of a mutual fund advisory or subadvisory contract or substantial changes in revenues earned from such contracts, significant changes in our business and products, material and ongoing negative industry or economic trends, or other factors specific to each asset being evaluated. | |
Prior to the sale of Legend effective January 1, 2013, the Company had two reporting units for goodwill: (i) investment management and related services and (ii) Legend. The investment management and related services reporting unit's goodwill was recorded as part of the spin-off of the Company from its former parent, and to a lesser extent, was recorded as part of subsequent business combinations that were merged into existing investment management operations. Legend, our second reporting unit for goodwill, was a stand-alone investment management subsidiary and goodwill associated with Legend could be assessed separately from other investment management operations. Additional information related to the sale of Legend is included in Notes 6 and 7. | |
To determine the fair value of the Company's reporting unit, our review process uses the market and income approaches. In performing the analyses, the Company uses the best information available under the circumstances, including reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. | |
The market approach employs market multiples for comparable companies in the financial services industry. Estimates of fair values of the reporting units are established using multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). The Company believes that fair values calculated based on multiples of EBITDA are an accurate estimation of fair value. | |
If the fair value coverage margin calculated under the market approach is not considered significant, the Company utilizes a second approach, the income approach, to estimate fair values and averages the results under both methodologies. The income approach employs a discounted free cash flow approach that takes into account current actual results, projected future results, and the Company's estimated weighted average cost of capital. | |
The Company compares the fair values of the reporting units to their carrying amounts, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. | |
Indefinite-life intangible assets represent advisory and subadvisory management contracts for managed assets obtained in acquisitions. The Company considers these contracts to be indefinite-life intangible assets as they are expected to be renewed without significant cost or modification of terms. The Company also tests these assets for impairment annually and when events or circumstances occur that indicate that the indefinite-life intangible asset might be impaired by comparing their fair values to the carrying amount of the assets. | |
Deferred Sales Commissions | |
We defer certain costs, principally sales commissions and related compensation, which are paid to financial advisors and broker/dealers in connection with the sale of certain mutual fund shares sold without a front-end load sales charge. The costs incurred at the time of the sale of Class B shares sold prior to January 1, 2014 are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years, which approximates the expected life of the shareholders' investments. Effective January 1, 2014, the Company suspended sales of Class B shares. The costs incurred at the time of the sale of Class C shares are amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months. In addition, the costs incurred at the time of the sale of shares for certain asset allocation products are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis, not to exceed three years. We recover these deferred costs through Rule 12b-1 and other distribution fees, which are paid on the Class B and Class C shares of the Advisors Funds and Ivy Funds, along with contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSCs") paid by shareholders who redeem their shares prior to completion of the specified holding period (three years for shares of certain asset allocation products, six years for a Class B share and 12 months for a Class C share), as well as through client fees paid on the asset allocation products. Should we lose our ability to recover such sales commissions through distribution fees or CDSCs, the value of these assets would immediately decline, as would future cash flows. We periodically review the recoverability of the deferred sales commission assets as events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable and adjust them accordingly. | |
Revenue Recognition | |
We recognize investment management fees as earned over the period in which services are rendered. We charge the Funds daily based upon average daily net assets under management in accordance with investment management agreements between the Funds and the Company. The majority of investment management fees earned from institutional and separate accounts are charged either monthly or quarterly based upon an average of net assets under management in accordance with such investment management agreements. The Company may waive certain fees for investment management services at its discretion, or in accordance with contractual expense limitations, and these waivers are reflected as a reduction to investment management fees on the statement of income. | |
Our investment advisory business receives research products and services from broker-dealers through "soft dollar" arrangements. Consistent with the "soft dollar" safe harbor established by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the investment advisory business does not have any contractual obligation requiring it to pay for research products and services obtained through soft dollar arrangements with brokers. As a result, we present "soft dollar" arrangements on a net basis. | |
Underwriting and distribution commission revenues resulting from the sale of investment products are recognized on the trade date. Fee-based asset allocation revenues are charged quarterly based upon average daily net assets under management. For certain types of investment products, primarily variable annuities, distribution revenues are generally calculated based upon average daily net assets under management and are recognized monthly. Fees collected from advisors for services related to technology and errors and omissions insurance are recorded in underwriting and distribution fees on a gross basis, as the Company is the primary obligor in these arrangements. | |
Shareholder service fees are recognized monthly and are calculated based on the number of accounts or assets under management as applicable. Other administrative service fee revenues are recognized when contractual obligations are fulfilled or as services are provided. | |
Advertising and Promotion | |
We expense all advertising and promotion costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $13.3 million, $9.9 million and $10.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is classified in both underwriting and distribution expense and general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income. | |
Share-Based Compensation | |
We account for share-based compensation expense using the fair value method. Under the fair value method, share-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of share-based awards measured at grant date, is recognized over the service period, and is adjusted each period for anticipated forfeitures. The Company also issues share-based awards to our financial advisors (our sales force) who are independent contractors. Changes in the Company's share price result in variable compensation expense over the vesting period. The fair value of options granted would be calculated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model incorporates assumptions as to dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and expected life of the option. We have not issued options since 2002 and do not have any options outstanding as of December 31, 2013. | |
Accounting for Income Taxes | |
Income tax expense is based on pre-tax financial accounting income, including adjustments made for the recognition or derecognition related to uncertain tax positions. The recognition or derecognition of income tax expense related to uncertain tax positions is determined under the guidance as prescribed by "Income Taxes Topic," ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. | |

In July 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-06, "Other Topics (Topic 720): Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Health Insurers"("ASU 2011-06"). This ASU was issued to address questions about how health insurers should recognize and classify in their income statements fees mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (the "Acts"). The Acts impose an annual fee on health insurers for each calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2014. A health insurer's portion of the annual fee is payable no later than September 30 of the applicable calendar year and is not tax deductible. The ASU specifies that the liability for the fee should be estimated and recorded in full once the entity provides qualifying health insurance in the applicable calendar year in which the fee is payable with a corresponding deferred cost that is amortized to expense using a straight-line method of allocation unless another method better allocates the fee over the calendar year that it is payable. ASU 2011-06 is effective for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2013. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2011-06 in 2014 will result in an immaterial impact to its consolidated financial statements. | |
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" ("ASU 2013-11"). Under this standard, an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability, when the uncertain tax position would reduce the net operating loss or other carryforward under the tax law. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company believes that adoption of ASU 2013-11 in 2014 will result in an immaterial impact to its consolidated financial statements. | |

Accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. An individual investment's fair value measurement is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs that are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||
• | |||||||||||||||||||
Level 1 – Investments are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |||||||||||||||||||
• | |||||||||||||||||||
Level 2 – Investments are valued using other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices in active markets for similar securities. | |||||||||||||||||||
• | |||||||||||||||||||
Level 3 – Investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including the Company's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. | |||||||||||||||||||
Assets classified as Level 2 can have a variety of observable inputs. These observable inputs are collected and utilized, primarily by an independent pricing service, in different evaluated pricing approaches depending upon the specific asset to determine a value. The fair value of municipal bonds is measured based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker/dealers, current trades, bid-wants lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance and benchmark yield curves. The fair value of corporate bonds is measured using various techniques, which consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads and fundamental data relating to the issuer. The fair value of equity derivatives is measured based on active market broker quotes, evaluated broker quotes and evaluated prices from vendors. | |||||||||||||||||||
Securities' values classified as Level 3 are primarily determined through the use of a single quote (or multiple quotes) from dealers in the securities using proprietary valuation models. These quotes involve significant unobservable inputs, and thus, the related securities are classified as Level 3 securities. | |||||||||||||||||||
The following tables summarize our investment securities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 that are recognized in our consolidated balance sheets using fair value measurements based on the differing levels of inputs. There were no transfers between levels for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||

During 2012, the Company signed a definitive agreement with First Allied Holdings Inc. to sell all of the common interests of Legend and the sale closed effective January 1, 2013. Based on the value of the consideration the Company expected to receive upon closing, which was less than the carrying value of net assets to be sold, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $42.4 million, which is reflected in income (loss) from discontinued operations on the statement of income in 2012. The consideration received was subject to working capital and regulatory capital adjustments through the closing date. The Company retained $7.7 million of Legend's excess working capital as part of the agreement. The agreement also includes a maximum earnout provision of $5.0 million based on asset retention for a period of two years following the closing date. | |||||||
The operational results of Legend have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Legend's revenues and income (loss) before provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows: | |||||||

As of June 30, 2012, the Company's annual impairment test indicated that the fair value of the Legend reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, which resulted in no goodwill impairment. During preliminary due diligence conducted in the third quarter regarding a possible sale of Legend, several significant issues arose regarding executive leadership, advisor retention and employee morale. As due diligence discussions progressed into formal negotiations throughout the third quarter, the Company's concerns regarding these matters escalated, the depth and consequence of which led us to determine that a change in the strategic direction of Legend was necessary, and as a result, the Company decided to move forward with a sale of Legend at a price lower than the fair value utilized in the annual impairment analysis in the second quarter. During the third quarter of 2012, $59.2 million of goodwill related to Legend was allocated to assets of discontinued operations held for sale. Additionally, $42.4 million of goodwill was written down and is included in the loss from discontinued operations in the statement of income in 2012. | |||||||

On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to complete a $190.0 million private placement of senior unsecured notes that were issued and sold in two tranches: $95.0 million bearing interest at 5.0% and maturing January 13, 2018, Series A, and $95.0 million bearing interest of 5.75% and maturing January 13, 2021, Series B (collectively the "Senior Notes"). The agreement contained a delayed funding provision that allowed the Company to draw down the proceeds in January 2011 when the 5.6% senior notes (the "Notes") matured. The Company used the proceeds of the issuance and sale of the Senior Notes to repay in full the Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually in January and July of each year. The most restrictive provisions of the agreement require the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 3.0 to 1.0 for four consecutive quarters and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.0 to 1.0 for four consecutive quarters. The Company was in compliance with these covenants and similar covenants in prior facilities for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 0.4 to 1.0, and consolidated interest coverage ratio was 42.2 to 1.0. | |||||||
The Company entered into a five year revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with various lenders, effective June 28, 2013, which provides for initial borrowings of up to $125.0 million and replaced the Company's previous revolving credit facility. Lenders could, at their option upon the Company's request, expand the Credit Facility to $200.0 million. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at various rates including adjusted LIBOR or an alternative base rate plus, in each case, an incremental margin based on the Company's credit rating. The Credit Facility also provides for a facility fee on the aggregate amount of commitments under the revolving facility (whether or not utilized). The facility fee is also based on the Company's credit rating level. The Credit Facility's covenants match those outlined above for the Senior Notes. | |||||||
Debt is reported at its carrying amount in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the Company's outstanding indebtedness is approximately $203.7 million at December 31, 2013 compared to the carrying value of $190.0 million.

In 2012, a deferred tax asset was established for the excess tax basis in the Company's investment in Legend. Upon the realization of the capital loss from the sale of Legend in 2013, the deferred tax asset for excess tax basis converted into a deferred tax asset for capital loss carryforward. Due to the character of the loss and the limited carryforward period permitted by law, the Company may not realize the full tax benefit of the capital loss. The capital loss is available to offset capital gains realized in 2013 and potential future gains. The capital loss carryforward, if not utilized, will expire in 2018. | ||||||||||
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a deferred tax asset for a capital loss carryforward of $9.5 million related to the sale of Legend. Other deferred tax assets that could generate potential future capital losses, if realized, include unrealized losses on investment securities of $1.0 million and unrealized losses on investments in partnerships of $2.0 million. Deferred tax liabilities that could generate potential future capital gains include unrealized gains on investment securities of $1.9 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had deferred tax assets for a capital loss carryforward of $0.2 million and excess tax basis in Legend of $17.9 million. Other deferred tax assets that could generate potential future capital losses, if realized, include unrealized losses on investment securities of $0.8 million and unrealized losses on investments in partnerships of $0.8 million. Deferred tax liabilities that could generate potential future capital gains include unrealized gains on investment securities of $1.1 million. | ||||||||||
Management believes it is not more likely than not that the Company will generate sufficient future capital gains to realize the full benefit of these capital losses and accordingly, a valuation allowance in the amount of $10.6 million and $18.6 million has been recorded at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During 2013, realized capital gains on securities in the Company's investment portfolios and capital gain distributions from investments decreased the valuation allowance by $7.6 million. A reduction in the tax loss on the sale of Legend resulted in a decrease to the valuation allowance of $0.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by losses from partnership investments which increased the valuation allowance by $1.2 million. The remaining $0.8 million decrease in the valuation allowance resulted from appreciation in the fair value of the Company's available for sale securities portfolio, which was recorded as an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income. | ||||||||||
Certain subsidiaries of the Company have net operating loss carryforwards in certain states in which these companies file on a separate company basis. The deferred tax asset, net of federal tax effect, relating to the carryforwards as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 is approximately $6.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The carryforwards, if not utilized, will expire between 2014 and 2033. Management believes it is not more likely than not that these subsidiaries will generate sufficient future taxable income in these states to realize the benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards and, accordingly, a valuation allowance in the amount of $6.4 million and $6.1 million has been recorded at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company has state tax credit carryforwards of $0.9 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Of these state tax credit carryforwards, $0.6 million will expire between 2024 and 2029 if not utilized and $0.3 million will expire in 2026 if not utilized. The Company anticipates these credits will be fully utilized prior to their expiration date. | ||||||||||
As of January 1, 2013, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, of $10.8 million ($7.5 million net of federal benefit) that, if recognized, would impact the Company's effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, of $12.0 million ($8.4 million net of federal benefit) that, if recognized, would impact the Company's effective tax rate. The unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to be settled within the next 12 months are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets; unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to be settled within the next 12 months are included in income taxes payable. | ||||||||||
The Company's accounting policy with respect to interest and penalties related to income tax uncertainties is to classify these amounts as income taxes. As of January 1, 2013, the total amount of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions recognized in the consolidated balance sheet was $2.5 million ($2.0 million net of federal benefit). The total amount of penalties and interest, net of federal benefit, related to tax uncertainties recognized in the statement of income for the period ended December 31, 2013 was $0.6 million. The total amount of accrued penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2013 of $3.0 million ($2.5 million net of federal benefit) is included in the total unrecognized tax benefits described above. | ||||||||||

In the ordinary course of business, many transactions occur for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. In addition, respective tax authorities periodically audit our income tax returns. These audits examine our significant tax filing positions, including the timing and amounts of deductions and the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. During 2013, the Company settled four open tax years that were undergoing audit by a state jurisdiction in which the Company operates. During 2012, the Company settled three open tax years that were undergoing audit by a state jurisdiction in which the Company operates. No audits were settled in 2011. The 2010 through 2013 federal income tax returns are open tax years that remain subject to potential future audit. State income tax returns for all years after 2009 and, in certain states, income tax returns for 2009, are subject to potential future audit by tax authorities in the Company's major state tax jurisdictions. | ||||||||||
The Company is currently being audited in various state jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the Company will settle the audits in these jurisdictions within the next 12-month period. It is estimated that the Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including penalties and interest, could decrease by up to $2.6 million ($1.7 million net of federal benefit) upon settlement of these audits. Such settlements are not anticipated to have a significant impact on the results of operations. | ||||||||||

We provide a non-contributory retirement plan that covers substantially all employees and certain vested employees of our former parent company (the "Pension Plan"). Benefits payable under the Pension Plan are based on employees' years of service and compensation during the final ten years of employment. We also sponsor an unfunded defined benefit postretirement medical plan that covers substantially all employees, as well as our financial advisors, who are independent contractors. The medical plan is contributory with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The medical plan does not provide for post age 65 benefits with the exception of a small group of employees that were grandfathered when such plan was established. | |||||||||||||||||||

The discount rate assumption used to determine the pension and other postretirement benefits obligations was based on the Aon Hewitt AA Only Above Median Yield Curve. This discount rate was determined separately for each plan by plotting the expected benefit payments from each plan against a yield curve of high quality, zero coupon bonds and calculating the single rate that would produce the same present value of liabilities as the yield curve. | |||||||||||||||||||

The primary investment objective is to maximize growth of the Pension Plan assets to meet the projected obligations to the beneficiaries over a long period of time, and to do so in a manner that is consistent with the Company's earnings strength and risk tolerance. Asset allocation is the most important decision in managing the assets, and it is reviewed regularly. The asset allocation policy considers the Company's financial strength and long-term asset class risk/return expectations since the obligations are long-term in nature. As of December 31, 2013, our Pension Plan assets were invested in our Asset Strategy style and are managed by our in-house investment professionals. | |||||||||||||||||||
Asset Strategy invests in the domestic or foreign market that is believed to offer the greatest probability of return or, alternatively, that provides the highest degree of safety in uncertain times. This style may allocate its assets among stocks, bonds and short-term investments and since the allocation is dynamically managed and able to take advantage of opportunities as they are presented by the market, there is not a predetermined asset allocation. Dependent on the outlook for the U.S. and global economies, our investment managers make top-down allocations among stocks, bonds, cash, precious metals and currency markets around the globe. After determining allocations, we seek the best opportunities within each market. Derivative instruments play an important role in this style's investment process, to manage risk and maximize stability of the assets in the portfolio. | |||||||||||||||||||
At December 31, 2013, the Pension Plan had investment concentrations that are not typical of a classic pension plan, including a significant weighting of plan assets invested in equity securities, including 40% international equities, of which a third was invested in Japanese equities. | |||||||||||||||||||
Risk management is primarily the responsibility of the investment portfolio manager, who incorporates it with day-to-day research and management. Although investment flexibility is essential to this style's investment process, the Pension Plan does not invest in a number of asset classes that are commonly referred to as alternative investments, namely venture capital, direct real estate properties, timber, or oil, gas or other mineral explorations or development programs or leases. The Pension Plan also has a number of specific guidelines that serve to manage investment risk by placing limits on net securities exposure and concentration of assets within specific companies or industries. | |||||||||||||||||||
We determine the fair value of our Pension Plan assets using broad levels of inputs as defined by related accounting standards and categorized as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3, as previously defined in Note 4. The following tables summarize our Pension Plan assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. There were no transfers between levels for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||

The 7.75% expected long-term rate of return on Pension Plan assets reflects management's expectations of long-term average rates of return on funds invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligations. The expected return is based on the outlook for inflation, fixed income returns and equity returns, while also considering historical returns, asset allocation and investment strategy. The plan expects a relatively high return because of the types of investment the portfolio incorporates, the success the portfolio managers have had with generating returns in excess of passive management in those types of investments, and the past history of returns. The ability to use a high concentration of equities, especially international equities, within the plan's investment policy presents portfolio managers the opportunity to earn higher returns than other investment strategies that are restricted to owning lower returning asset classes. | |||||||||||||||||||

Net periodic pension benefit and postretirement medical costs related to discontinued operations and included in the table above were $749 thousand and $543 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||
The estimated net loss, prior service cost and transition obligation for the Pension Plan that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost in 2014 are $1.2 million, $520 thousand and $5 thousand, respectively. The estimated net gain and prior service cost for the postretirement medical plan that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost in 2014 are $17 thousand and $55 thousand, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||

Our policy with respect to funding the Pension Plan is to fund at least the minimum required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and not more than the maximum amount deductible for tax purposes. All contributions made to the Pension Plan for 2013, 2012 and 2011 were voluntary. Contributions are not expected to exceed $20 million for 2014. A contribution of $10 million was made to the Pension Plan in January 2014. | |||||||||||||||||||
All Company contributions to other postretirement medical benefits are voluntary, as the postretirement medical plan is not funded and is not subject to any minimum regulatory funding requirements. The contributions for each year represent claims paid for medical expenses, and we anticipate making the 2014 expected contribution with cash generated from operations. Contributions by participants to the postretirement plan were $321 thousand, $337 thousand and $359 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||
For measurement purposes, the initial health care cost trend rate was 8.52% for 2013, 9.01% for 2012 and 9.51% for 2011. The health care cost trend rate reflects anticipated increases in health care costs. The initial assumed growth rate of 8.52% for 2013 is assumed to gradually decline over the next 14 years to a rate of 4.5%. The effect of a 1% annual increase in assumed cost trend rates would increase the December 31, 2013 accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $955 thousand, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2013 by approximately $197 thousand. The effect of a 1% annual decrease in assumed cost trend rates would decrease the December 31, 2013 accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $825 thousand, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2013 by approximately $163 thousand. | |||||||||||||||||||
We also sponsor the Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as amended and restated (the "SERP"), a non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering eligible employees. The SERP provides certain benefits for Company officers that the Pension Plan is prevented from providing because of compensation and benefit limits in the Internal Revenue Code. | |||||||||||||||||||
The SERP was adopted to supplement the annual pension paid to certain senior executive officers. Each calendar year, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") credits participants' SERP accounts with (i) an amount equal to 4% of the executive's base salary, less the amount of the maximum employer matching contribution available under our 401(k) plan, and (ii) a non-formula award, if any, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. There were no discretionary awards made to participants during 2013, 2012 or 2011. Additionally, each calendar year, participants' accounts are credited (or charged) with an amount equal to the performance of certain hypothetical investment vehicles since the last preceding year. Upon a participant's separation, or at such other time based on a pre-existing election by a participant, benefits accumulated under the SERP are payable in installments or in a lump sum. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the aggregate liability to participants was $3.7 million. | |||||||||||||||||||
At December 31, 2013, the accrued pension and postretirement liability recorded in the consolidated balance sheet was comprised of accrued pension costs of $1.7 million, a liability for postretirement benefits in the amount of $7.9 million and an accrued liability for SERP benefits of $3.7 million. The current portion of postretirement liability of $0.3 million is included in other current liabilities on the balance sheet. At December 31, 2012, the accrued pension and postretirement liability recorded on the balance sheet was comprised of accrued pension costs of $50.3 million, a liability for postretirement benefits in the amount of $8.5 million and an accrued liability for SERP benefits of $3.7 million. The current portion of postretirement liability of $0.3 million is included in other current liabilities on the balance sheet. | |||||||||||||||||||

As allowed under Section 401(k), the plan provides tax-deferred salary deductions for eligible employees. Our matching contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $5.1 million, $4.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. | |

The Company has three stock-based compensation plans: the Company 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "SI Plan"), the Company 1998 Executive Stock Award Plan, as amended and restated (the "ESA Plan") and the Company 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Award Plan, as amended and restated (the "NED Plan") (collectively, the "Stock Plans"). | ||||||||||
The SI Plan allows us to grant equity compensation awards, including, among other awards, non-qualified stock options and nonvested stock as part of our overall compensation program to attract and retain key personnel and encourage a greater personal financial investment in the Company. All of the Stock Plans also allow us to grant non-qualified stock options and/or nonvested stock to promote the long-term growth of the Company. A maximum of 30.0 million shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the SI Plan. A maximum of 3.75 million and 1.2 million shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the ESA Plan and NED Plan, respectively. In total, 8,432,814 shares of common stock are available for issuance as of December 31, 2013 under these plans. In addition, we make incentive payments under the Company 2003 Executive Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "EIP") in the form of cash, stock options, nonvested stock or a combination thereof. Incentive awards paid under the EIP in the form of stock options or nonvested stock, or granted following the conversion of cash bonus amounts into stock options and/or nonvested stock, are issued out of shares reserved for issuance under the SI and ESA Plans. Generally, shares of common stock covered by terminated, surrendered or cancelled options, by forfeited nonvested stock, or by the forfeiture of other awards that do not result in issuance of shares of common stock are again available for awards under the plan from which they were terminated, surrendered, cancelled or forfeited. | ||||||||||
Under our Stock Plans, the exercise price of a stock option is equal to the closing market price of Company common stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of non-qualified options granted under the SI Plan is ten years and two days and the options generally vest in 331/3% increments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. The maximum term of non-qualified options granted under the ESA Plan and NED Plan is 11 years and the options generally vest 10% each year, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Our Stock Plans include a Stock Option Restoration Program feature (the "SORP") that allows, on the first trading day of August, a holder to pay the exercise price on vested in-the-money options by surrendering common stock of the Company that has been owned for at least six months. This feature also permits a holder exercising an option to be granted new options in an amount equal to the number of common shares used to satisfy both the exercise price and withholding taxes due upon exercise. New options are granted with an expiration date equal to that of the original option and vest six months after the grant date. The SORP results in a net issuance of shares of common stock and fewer stock options outstanding. We receive a current income tax benefit for stock option exercises. | ||||||||||
Nonvested stock awards are valued on the date of grant, have no purchase price and generally vest over four years in 331/3% increments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. The Company also issues nonvested stock awards to our financial advisors (our sales force) who are independent contractors. These awards have the same terms as awards issued to employees; however, changes in the Company's share price result in variable compensation expense over the vesting period. Under the Stock Plans, nonvested shares are forfeited upon the termination of employment with or service to the Company, as applicable, or service on the Board of Directors, dependent upon the circumstances of termination. Except for restrictions placed on the transferability of nonvested stock, holders of nonvested stock have full stockholders' rights during the term of restriction, including voting rights and the rights to receive cash dividends. | ||||||||||

The related income tax benefit was $19.6 million, $17.9 million and $16.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These benefits will be recognized upon vesting and may increase or decrease depending on the fair value of the shares on the date of vesting. As of December 31, 2013, the remaining unamortized expense of $106.9 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. | ||||||||||
The total fair value of shares vested (at vest date) during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $80.5 million, $53.5 million and $52.5 million, respectively. The Company permits employees the right to tender a portion of their vested shares to the Company to satisfy the minimum tax withholding obligations of the Company with respect to vesting of the shares. During 2014, we expect to repurchase approximately 600 thousand shares from employees who elect to tender shares to cover their minimum tax withholdings. | ||||||||||

A third broker/dealer subsidiary, Legend Equities Corporation ("LEC"), was sold as part of the Legend transaction, effective January 1, 2013. Broker/dealers are subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15.0 to 1.0. The primary difference between net capital and stockholders' equity is the non-allowable assets that are excluded from net capital. | ||||||||||||||||
A broker/dealer may elect not to be subject to the Aggregate Indebtedness Standard of paragraph (a)(1)(i) of Rule 15c3-1, in which case net capital must exceed the greater of $250 thousand or 2% of aggregate debit items computed in accordance with the Formula for Determination of Reserve Requirements for broker/dealers.

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings, regulatory investigations and claims incident to the normal conduct of business, which may include proceedings that are specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices within the industries in which we operate. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and on the results of operations in a particular quarter or year. | |
The Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These amounts are not reduced by amounts that may be recovered under insurance or claims against third parties, but undiscounted receivables from insurers or other third parties may be accrued separately. The Company regularly revises such accruals in light of new information. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and that are significant, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss. For purposes of our litigation contingency disclosures, "significant" includes material matters as well as other items that management believes should be disclosed. Management judgment is required related to contingent liabilities and the outcome of litigation because both are difficult to predict. | |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2013 | |
Description of Business | ' |
Basis of Presentation | ' |
Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts in the accompanying financial statements and notes are rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified for consistent presentation. | |
The Company operates in one business segment. Although the Company does provide supplemental disclosure regarding assets under management and underwriting revenues and expenses by distribution channel, the Company's determination that it operates in one business segment is based on the fact that the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial results, assesses performance and allocates resources at the consolidated level. | |
Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted an amended accounting standard to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to present separately for each component of comprehensive income, the current period reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income affected by the reclassification. The adoption was effective prospectively and did not have any effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. | |
In 2012, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Legend group of subsidiaries ("Legend") and the sale closed effective January 1, 2013. The operational results of Legend have been reclassified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Unless otherwise stated, footnote references refer to continuing operations. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, valuation of assets, pension and postretirement obligations, and contingencies. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Actual results could differ from our estimates. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term investments. We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities upon acquisition of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents – restricted represents cash held for the benefit of customers segregated in compliance with federal and other regulations. | |
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximates carrying value. Fair value of long-term debt is disclosed in the indebtedness footnote. Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. Otherwise, fair values for investment securities are based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs detailed in Note 4. | |
Investment Securities and Investments in Affiliated Mutual Funds | ' |
Investment Securities and Investments in Affiliated Mutual Funds | |
Our investments are comprised of United States, state and government obligations, corporate debt securities and investments in affiliated mutual funds. Investments are classified as available for sale or trading. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of related tax effects, are excluded from earnings until realized and are reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. For trading securities, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method for investment securities, other than mutual funds. For mutual funds, realized gains and losses are computed using the average cost method. | |
Our available for sale investments are reviewed each quarter and adjusted for other than temporary declines in value. We consider factors affecting the issuer and the industry the issuer operates in, general market trends including interest rates, and our ability and intent to hold an investment until it has recovered. Consideration is given to the length of time an investment's market value has been below carrying value and prospects for recovery to carrying value. When a decline in the fair value of equity securities is determined to be other than temporary, the unrealized loss recorded net of tax in other comprehensive income is realized as a charge to net income and a new cost basis is established for financial reporting purposes. When a decline in the fair value of debt securities is determined to be other than temporary, the amount of the impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If so, the other than temporary impairment recognized in earnings is equal to the entire difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If not, the portion of the impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings while the portion of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. | |
Property and Equipment | ' |
Property and Equipment | |
Property and equipment are carried at cost. The costs of improvements that extend the life of a fixed asset are capitalized, while the costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are calculated and recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset (or lease term if shorter), generally three to 10 years for furniture and fixtures; one to 10 years for computer software; two to five years for data processing equipment; five to 30 years for buildings; three to 26 years for other equipment; and up to 15 years for leasehold improvements, which is the lesser of the lease term or expected life. | |
Software Developed for Internal Use | ' |
Software Developed for Internal Use | |
Certain internal costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use are capitalized in accordance with "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Topic," ASC 350. Internal costs capitalized are included in property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets, and were $10.4 million and $9.6 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization begins when the software project is complete and ready for its intended use and continues over the estimated useful life, generally one to 10 years. | |
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets | ' |
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets | |
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the Company's investment in the net assets of acquired companies over the fair value of the underlying identifiable net assets at the dates of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed annually for impairment in the second quarter of each year and when events or circumstances occur that indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Factors that the Company considers important in determining whether an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets might exist include significant continued underperformance compared to peers, the likelihood of termination or non-renewal of a mutual fund advisory or subadvisory contract or substantial changes in revenues earned from such contracts, significant changes in our business and products, material and ongoing negative industry or economic trends, or other factors specific to each asset being evaluated. | |
Prior to the sale of Legend effective January 1, 2013, the Company had two reporting units for goodwill: (i) investment management and related services and (ii) Legend. The investment management and related services reporting unit's goodwill was recorded as part of the spin-off of the Company from its former parent, and to a lesser extent, was recorded as part of subsequent business combinations that were merged into existing investment management operations. Legend, our second reporting unit for goodwill, was a stand-alone investment management subsidiary and goodwill associated with Legend could be assessed separately from other investment management operations. Additional information related to the sale of Legend is included in Notes 6 and 7. | |
To determine the fair value of the Company's reporting unit, our review process uses the market and income approaches. In performing the analyses, the Company uses the best information available under the circumstances, including reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. | |
The market approach employs market multiples for comparable companies in the financial services industry. Estimates of fair values of the reporting units are established using multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). The Company believes that fair values calculated based on multiples of EBITDA are an accurate estimation of fair value. | |
If the fair value coverage margin calculated under the market approach is not considered significant, the Company utilizes a second approach, the income approach, to estimate fair values and averages the results under both methodologies. The income approach employs a discounted free cash flow approach that takes into account current actual results, projected future results, and the Company's estimated weighted average cost of capital. | |
The Company compares the fair values of the reporting units to their carrying amounts, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. | |
Indefinite-life intangible assets represent advisory and subadvisory management contracts for managed assets obtained in acquisitions. The Company considers these contracts to be indefinite-life intangible assets as they are expected to be renewed without significant cost or modification of terms. The Company also tests these assets for impairment annually and when events or circumstances occur that indicate that the indefinite-life intangible asset might be impaired by comparing their fair values to the carrying amount of the assets. | |
Deferred Sales Commissions | ' |
Deferred Sales Commissions | |
We defer certain costs, principally sales commissions and related compensation, which are paid to financial advisors and broker/dealers in connection with the sale of certain mutual fund shares sold without a front-end load sales charge. The costs incurred at the time of the sale of Class B shares sold prior to January 1, 2014 are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years, which approximates the expected life of the shareholders' investments. Effective January 1, 2014, the Company suspended sales of Class B shares. The costs incurred at the time of the sale of Class C shares are amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months. In addition, the costs incurred at the time of the sale of shares for certain asset allocation products are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis, not to exceed three years. We recover these deferred costs through Rule 12b-1 and other distribution fees, which are paid on the Class B and Class C shares of the Advisors Funds and Ivy Funds, along with contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSCs") paid by shareholders who redeem their shares prior to completion of the specified holding period (three years for shares of certain asset allocation products, six years for a Class B share and 12 months for a Class C share), as well as through client fees paid on the asset allocation products. Should we lose our ability to recover such sales commissions through distribution fees or CDSCs, the value of these assets would immediately decline, as would future cash flows. We periodically review the recoverability of the deferred sales commission assets as events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable and adjust them accordingly. | |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition | |
We recognize investment management fees as earned over the period in which services are rendered. We charge the Funds daily based upon average daily net assets under management in accordance with investment management agreements between the Funds and the Company. The majority of investment management fees earned from institutional and separate accounts are charged either monthly or quarterly based upon an average of net assets under management in accordance with such investment management agreements. The Company may waive certain fees for investment management services at its discretion, or in accordance with contractual expense limitations, and these waivers are reflected as a reduction to investment management fees on the statement of income. | |
Our investment advisory business receives research products and services from broker-dealers through "soft dollar" arrangements. Consistent with the "soft dollar" safe harbor established by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the investment advisory business does not have any contractual obligation requiring it to pay for research products and services obtained through soft dollar arrangements with brokers. As a result, we present "soft dollar" arrangements on a net basis. | |
Underwriting and distribution commission revenues resulting from the sale of investment products are recognized on the trade date. Fee-based asset allocation revenues are charged quarterly based upon average daily net assets under management. For certain types of investment products, primarily variable annuities, distribution revenues are generally calculated based upon average daily net assets under management and are recognized monthly. Fees collected from advisors for services related to technology and errors and omissions insurance are recorded in underwriting and distribution fees on a gross basis, as the Company is the primary obligor in these arrangements. | |
Shareholder service fees are recognized monthly and are calculated based on the number of accounts or assets under management as applicable. Other administrative service fee revenues are recognized when contractual obligations are fulfilled or as services are provided. | |
Advertising and Promotion | ' |
Advertising and Promotion | |
We expense all advertising and promotion costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $13.3 million, $9.9 million and $10.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is classified in both underwriting and distribution expense and general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income. | |
Share-Based Compensation | ' |
Share-Based Compensation | |
We account for share-based compensation expense using the fair value method. Under the fair value method, share-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of share-based awards measured at grant date, is recognized over the service period, and is adjusted each period for anticipated forfeitures. The Company also issues share-based awards to our financial advisors (our sales force) who are independent contractors. Changes in the Company's share price result in variable compensation expense over the vesting period. The fair value of options granted would be calculated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model incorporates assumptions as to dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and expected life of the option. We have not issued options since 2002 and do not have any options outstanding as of December 31, 2013. | |
Accounting for Income Taxes | ' |
Accounting for Income Taxes | |
Income tax expense is based on pre-tax financial accounting income, including adjustments made for the recognition or derecognition related to uncertain tax positions. The recognition or derecognition of income tax expense related to uncertain tax positions is determined under the guidance as prescribed by "Income Taxes Topic," ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. | |
