Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Medley Management Inc. is an alternative asset management firm offering yield solutions to retail and institutional investors. The Company's national direct origination franchise provides capital to the middle market in the United States of America. Medley Management Inc., through its consolidated subsidiary, Medley LLC, provides investment management services to permanent capital vehicles, long-dated private funds and separately managed accounts and serves as the general partner to the private funds, which are generally organized as pass-through entities. Medley LLC is headquartered in New York City. The Company’s business is currently comprised of only one reportable segment, the investment management segment, and substantially all of the Company operations are conducted through this segment. The investment management segment provides investment management services to permanent capital vehicles, long-dated private funds and separately managed accounts. The Company conducts its investment management business in the U.S., where substantially all its revenues are generated. Initial Public Offering of Medley Management Inc. Medley Management Inc. (“MDLY”) was incorporated on June 13, 2014 and commenced operations on September 29, 2014 upon the completion of its initial public offering (“IPO”) of its Class A common stock. Medley Management Inc. raised $100.4 million , net of underwriting discount, through the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at an offering price to the public of $18.00 per share. Medley Management Inc. used the offering proceeds to purchase 6,000,000 newly issued LLC Units (defined below) from Medley LLC. Prior to the IPO, Medley Management Inc. had not engaged in any business or other activities except in connection with its formation and IPO. In connection with the IPO, Medley Management Inc. issued 100 shares of Class B common stock to Medley Group LLC (“Medley Group”), an entity wholly owned by the pre-IPO members of Medley LLC. For as long as the pre-IPO members and then-current Medley personnel hold at least 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock and LLC Units (defined below) (excluding those LLC Units held by Medley Management Inc.) then outstanding, the Class B common stock entitles Medley Group to a number of votes that is equal to 10 times the aggregate number of LLC Units held by all non-managing members of Medley LLC that do not themselves hold shares of Class B common stock and entitle each other holder of Class B common stock, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such other holder, to a number of votes that is equal to 10 times the number of membership units held by such holder. The Class B common stock does not participate in dividends and does not have any liquidation rights. Medley LLC Reorganization In connection with the IPO, Medley LLC amended and restated its limited liability agreement to modify its capital structure by reclassifying the 23,333,333 interests held by the pre-IPO members into a single new class of units (“LLC Units”). The pre-IPO members also entered into an exchange agreement under which they (or certain permitted transferees thereof) have the right, subject to the terms of an exchange agreement, to exchange their LLC Units for shares of Medley Management Inc.’s Class A common stock on a one -for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. In addition, pursuant to the amended and restated limited liability agreement, Medley Management Inc. became the sole managing member of Medley LLC. The pre-IPO owners were, subject to limited exceptions, prohibited from transferring any LLC Units held by them or any shares of Class A common stock received upon exchange of such LLC Units, until September 29, 2017, which was the third anniversary of the date of the closing of the IPO, without the Company’s consent. Thereafter and prior to the fourth and fifth anniversaries of the closing of the IPO, such holders may not transfer more than 33 1/3% and 66 2/3%, respectively, of the number of LLC Units held by them, together with the number of any shares of Class A common stock received by them upon exchange therefore, without the Company’s consent. Agreement and Plan of Merger On August 9, 2018 MDLY entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Sierra Income Corporation (“Sierra”), pursuant to which MDLY would have merged with and into Sierra Management Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sierra (“Merger Sub”), and MDLY’s existing asset management business would have continued to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sierra. MDLY's Class A stockholders would have received 0.3836 shares of Sierra’s common stock, $3.44 per share of cash consideration and $0.65 per share in special cash dividends for each share of Class A common stock held by them. Medley LLC unitholders would have converted their LLC Units into shares of Class A common stock and would have received 0.3836 shares of Sierra’s common stock, $3.44 per share of cash consideration and $0.35 per share in a special cash dividend for each share of Class A common stock held by them. Simultaneously, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between Medley Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MCC”) and Sierra, a Maryland corporation, MCC would merge with and into Sierra, with Sierra as the surviving entity. MCC shareholders would receive 0.805 shares of the Sierra’s common stock for each share of MCC common stock they hold. On February 11, 2019, a putative stockholder class action related to the MCC Merger was commenced in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd (collectively, "FrontFour"). The action, as consolidated, is captioned in re Medley Capital Corporation Stockholder Litigation, C.A. No. 2019-0100-KSJM (the "Class Action"). The complaint alleged that MCC’s directors (Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, and Arthur S. Ainsberg) breached their fiduciary duties to MCC stockholders in connection with the MCC Merger, and that MDLY, Sierra, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley Group LLC, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On March 11, 2019, following a two-day trial, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion (the "Decision") denying FrontFour’s requests to (i) permanently enjoin the MCC Merger and (ii) require MCC to conduct a shopping process for MCC on terms proposed by FrontFour in its complaint. The Court held that MCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the MCC Merger, but rejected FrontFour’s claim that Sierra aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Court ordered defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of MCC stockholders on the MCC Merger until such disclosures have been made and stockholders have had the opportunity to assimilate this information. On April 15, 2019, certain parties in the Class Action reached agreement on the principal terms of a settlement, which were contained in a term sheet, dated April 15, 2019 (the "Settlement Term Sheet"), among Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC, Medley LLC, and Medley Group LLC (the "Medley Parties"), on the one hand, and FrontFour, on behalf of itself and a class of similarly situated stockholders of MCC, on the other hand. In connection with the Settlement Term Sheet and in exchange and consideration for the release of MDLY by the Plaintiffs and the Class (each as defined in the Settlement Term Sheet), MDLY entered into an acknowledgment and agreement (the "Acknowledgment") pursuant to which Medley agreed to certain actions and undertakings that are described in greater detail in the Settlement Term Sheet including, among other matters: (i) agreeing to participate and cooperate in the discussions and efforts to amend certain provisions of the Merger Agreements, (ii) agreeing to consent to amendments to the MCC Merger Agreement relating to the creation of go shop process to solicit superior transactions to the MCC Merger, if and when presented to MDLY by Sierra and MCC and (iii) agreeing to amendments to the MDLY Merger Agreement, and, if and when presented to MDLY by Sierra and MCC, agreeing to consent to amendments to the MCC Merger Agreement, to extend the outside date in the Merger Agreements to October 31, 2019 and to modify the merger consideration payment mechanics contained therein to provide for the creation of a settlement fund, consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of Sierra stock, which amount defendants in the Class Action (other than MDLY) will cause to be contributed to the fund, and distributed to eligible members of the Class, after certain deductions, following the closing of the MCC Merger and in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Stipulation (as defined in the Settlement Term Sheet). Pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Acknowledgment, MDLY has also undertaken to work in good faith to agree to supplemental disclosures relating to the Mergers consistent with the decision in connection with the Class Action, as well as to use reasonable efforts to obtain exemptive relief from the SEC to allow for the consummation of the Mergers. On July 29, 2019, MDLY entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement Plan of Merger with Sierra, pursuant to which MDLY will merge with and into Merger Sub, and MDLY’s existing asset management business will continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sierra. MDLY's Class A stockholders will receive 0.2668 shares of Sierra’s common stock and $2.96 per share of cash consideration. The pre-IPO members will convert their LLC Units into shares of Class A common stock and will receive 0.2072 shares of Sierra’s common stock and $2.66 per share of cash consideration. In addition, the Class B common stock issued and outstanding prior to the effective date of the merger will be canceled and cease to exist with no consideration being delivered for such shares. The merger is subject to approval by Sierra and MDLY stockholders, regulatory approval, other customary closing conditions and third party consents. Simultaneously, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Plan of Merger by and between MCC and Sierra, MCC will merge with and into Sierra, with Sierra as the surviving entity. MCC shareholders will receive 0.66 to 0.68 shares of Sierra’s common stock for each share of MCC common stock they hold; the actual exchange ratio will be determined prior to closing and will be subject to adjustment for certain potential costs associated with the transactions. In addition, upon closing, the eligible class members will participate pro rata in the aforementioned settlement fund consisting of $17 million of cash and $30 million of Sierra common stock. The MDLY and Sierra merger is not contingent upon the consummation of the MCC merger. Transaction expenses related to the pending merger are included in general, administrative and other expenses and primarily consist of professional fees. Such expenses amounted to $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Medley Management Inc., Medley LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Medley” or the “Company”).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation , the Company consolidates those entities where it has a direct and indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. As such, the Company consolidates entities that the Company concludes are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and entities in which it holds a majority voting interest or has majority ownership and control over the operational, financial and investing decisions of that entity. For legal entities evaluated for consolidation, the Company must determine whether the interests that it holds and fees paid to it qualify as a variable interest in an entity. This includes an evaluation of the management fee and performance fee paid to the Company when acting as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If fees received by the Company are customary and commensurate with the level of services provided, and the Company does not hold other economic interests in the entity that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity, the interest that the Company holds would not be considered a variable interest. The Company factors in all economic interests including proportionate interests through related parties, to determine if fees are considered a variable interest. An entity in which the Company holds a variable interest is a VIE if any one of the following conditions exist: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) the holders of the equity investment at risk have the right to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the legal entity’s economic performance, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are disproportionate to their obligation to absorb losses or rights to receive returns from a legal entity. For limited partnerships and other similar entities, non-controlling investors must have substantive rights to either dissolve the fund or remove the general partner (“kick-out rights”) in order to not qualify as a VIE. For those entities that qualify as a VIE, the primary beneficiary is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The Company is generally deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes initially involved with the VIE and reconsiders that conclusion continuously. The primary beneficiary evaluation is generally performed qualitatively on the basis of all facts and circumstances. However, quantitative information may also be considered in the analysis, as appropriate. These assessments require judgment. Each entity is assessed for consolidation on a case-by-case basis. For those entities evaluated under the voting interest model, the Company consolidates the entity if it has a controlling financial interest. The Company has a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity (“VOE”) if it owns a majority voting interest in the entity. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities Medley Management Inc. is the sole managing member of Medley LLC and, as such, it operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Medley LLC and, through Medley LLC, conducts its business. Under ASC 810, Medley LLC meets the definition of a VIE because the equity of Medley LLC is not sufficient to permit business activities without additional subordinated financial support. Medley Management Inc. has the obligation to absorb expected losses that could be significant to Medley LLC and holds 100% of the voting power, therefore Medley Management Inc. is considered to be the primary beneficiary of Medley LLC. As a result, Medley Management Inc. consolidates the financial results of Medley LLC and its subsidiaries and records a non-controlling interest for the economic interest in Medley LLC held by the non-managing members. As of June 30, 2019 , Medley Management Inc.’s and the non-managing members’ economic interests in Medley LLC were 18.4% and 81.6% , respectively, and as of December 31, 2018, were 18.9% and 81.1% , respectively. Net (loss) income attributable to the non-controlling interests in Medley LLC on the consolidated statements of operations represents the portion of earnings or losses attributable to the economic interest in Medley LLC held by its non-managing members. Non-controlling interests in Medley LLC on the consolidated balance sheets represents the portion of net assets of Medley LLC attributable to the non-managing members based on total LLC Units and participating restricted LLC Units of Medley LLC owned by such non-managing members. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Medley LLC had three majority owned subsidiaries, Medley Seed Funding I LLC, Medley Seed Funding II LLC and STRF Advisors LLC, which are consolidated VIEs. Each of these entities was organized as a limited liability company and was legally formed to either manage a designated fund or to strategically invest capital as well as isolate business risk. As of June 30, 2019 , total assets and total liabilities, after eliminating entries, of these VIEs reflected in the consolidated balance sheets were $18.3 million and less than $0.1 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2018 , total assets and total liabilities, after eliminating entries, of these VIEs reflected in the consolidated balance sheets were $22.2 million and less than $0.1 million , respectively. Except to the extent of the assets of these VIEs that are consolidated, the holders of the consolidated VIEs’ liabilities generally do not have recourse to the Company. Seed Investments The Company accounts for seed investments through the application of the voting interest model under ASC 810-10-25-1 through 25-14 and consolidates a seed investment when the investment advisor holds a controlling interest, which is, in general, 50% or more of the equity in such investment. For seed investments in which the Company does not hold a controlling interest, the Company accounts for such seed investment under the equity method of accounting, at its ownership percentage of such seed investment’s net asset value. The Company seed funded $2.1 million to Sierra Total Return Fund ("STRF"), which commenced investment operations in June 2017. As of and since inception through June 30, 2019 , the Company owned 100% of the equity of STRF and, as such, consolidates STRF in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed balance sheet of STRF as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is presented in the table below. As of June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Assets (in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $ 310 $ 274 Investments, at fair value 2,090 1,952 Other assets 295 248 Total assets $ 2,695 $ 2,474 Liabilities and Equity Accrued expenses and other liabilities $ 469 $ 330 Equity 2,226 2,144 Total liabilities and equity $ 2,695 $ 2,474 As of June 30, 2019 , the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the elimination of $0.1 million of other assets, $0.1 million of accrued expenses and other liabilities and $2.2 million of equity as a result of the consolidation of STRF. As of December 31, 2018, the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the elimination of $0.2 million of other assets, $0.1 million of accrued expenses and other liabilities and $2.1 million of equity as a result of the consolidation of STRF. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, this fund did not generate any significant income or losses from operations. Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities The Company holds interests in certain VIEs that are not consolidated because the Company is not deemed the primary beneficiary. The Company's interest in these entities is in the form of insignificant equity interests and fee arrangements. The maximum exposure to loss represents the potential loss of assets by the Company relating to these non-consolidated entities. As of June 30, 2019 , the Company recorded investments, at fair value, attributed to these non-consolidated VIEs of $3.7 million , receivables of $1.7 million included as a component of other assets and a clawback obligation of $7.2 million included as a component of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company recorded investments, at fair value, attributed to non-consolidated VIEs of $4.2 million , receivables of $1.8 million included as a component of other assets and a clawback obligation of $7.2 million included as a component of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2019 , the Company’s maximum exposure to losses from these entities is $5.4 million . Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions and estimates also require management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the carrying value of investments, performance compensation payable and certain accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material. Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries Non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries represent the component of equity in such consolidated entities held by third-parties and certain employees. These interests are adjusted for contributions to and distributions from Medley entities and are allocated income or loss from Medley entities based on their ownership percentages. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests Redeemable non-controlling interests represents interests of certain third parties that are not mandatorily redeemable but redeemable for cash or other assets at a fixed or determinable price or a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company. These interests are classified in the mezzanine section on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include liquid investments in money market funds and demand deposits. The Company had cash balances with financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company monitors the credit standing of these financial institutions and has not experienced, and has no expectations of experiencing, any losses with respect to such balances. Investments Investments include equity method investments that are not consolidated but over which the Company exerts significant influence. The Company measures the carrying value of its privately-held equity method investments by recording its share of the earnings or losses of its investee in the periods for which they are reported by the investee in the investee's financial statements rather than in the period in which an investee declares a dividend or distribution. For the Company's public non-traded equity method investment, it measures the carrying value of such investment at Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in fair value of the equity method investments is reflected as a component of investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations along with the income and expense allocations from such investments. The carrying amounts of equity method investments are reflected in Investments, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. As the underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in are, for U.S. GAAP purposes, primarily investment companies which reflect their investments at estimated fair value, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments in such entities approximates fair value. The Company evaluates its equity-method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. For presentation in its consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company treats distributions received from certain equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. Under the cumulative earnings approach, an investor would compare the distributions received to its cumulative equity-method earnings since inception. Any distributions received up to the amount of cumulative equity earnings would be considered a return on investment and classified in operating activities. Any excess distributions would be considered a return of investment and classified in investing activities. Investments also include publicly traded common stock. The Company measures the fair value of its publicly traded common stock at the quoted market price on the primary market or exchange on which the underlying shares trade. Any realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in fair value are recorded in other income (expense), net. Investments of Consolidated Fund In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , the Company's consolidated fund has categorized its investments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as discussed in Note 5. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. The consolidated fund weighs the use of third-party broker quotations, if any, in determining fair value based on management's understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. However, debt investments with remaining maturities within 60 days that are not credit impaired are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the consolidated fund’s board of trustees based upon input from management and third party valuation firms. Because these investments are illiquid and because there may not be any directly comparable companies whose financial instruments have observable market values, these loans are valued using a fundamental valuation methodology, consistent with traditional asset pricing standards, that is objective and consistently applied across all loans and through time. Revenues Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers . The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle of depicting the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. To achieve this, the Company applies a five step approach: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations within the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. Carried interest are performance based fees that represent a capital allocation of income to the general partner or investment manager. Such fees represent a capital allocation to the general partner or investment manager and are accounted for under ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. As such, these types of performance fees are not in the scope of ASC 606. As a result of the adoption of this new revenue guidance, the Company recorded a cumulative effect decrease to equity of $3.6 million , net of benefit from income taxes of $0.1 million , as of January 1, 2018, which relates to (1) certain performance fee revenue that would not have met the “probable that significant reversal will not occur” criteria of $3.0 million and (2) the reversal of reimbursable fund formation costs which were deferred on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet of $0.7 million . Management Fees Medley provides investment management services to both public and private investment vehicles. Management fees include base management fees, other management fees, and Part I incentive fees, as described below. Base management fees are calculated based on either (i) the average or ending gross assets balance for the relevant period, (ii) limited partners’ capital commitments to the funds, (iii) invested capital, (iv) NAV or (v) lower of cost or market value of a fund’s portfolio investments. Depending upon the contracted terms of the investment management agreement, management fees are paid either quarterly in advance or quarterly in arrears, and are recognized as earned over the period the services are provided. Certain management agreements provide for Medley to receive other management fee revenue derived from up front origination fees paid by the funds' and/or separately managed accounts' underlying portfolio companies. These fees are recognized when the Company becomes entitled to such fees. Certain management agreements also provide for Medley to receive Part I incentive fee revenue derived from net investment income (excluding gains and losses) above a hurdle rate. As it relates to MCC, these fees are subject to netting against realized and unrealized losses. Part I incentive fees are paid quarterly and are recognized as earned in the period the services are provided. Performance Fees Performance fees are contractual fees which do not represent a capital allocation of income to the general partner or investment manager that are earned based on the performance of certain funds, typically, the Company’s separately managed accounts. Performance fees are earned based on the fund performance during the period, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels in accordance with the respective terms set out in each fund’s investment management agreement. Other Revenues and Fees Medley provides administrative services to certain affiliated funds and is reimbursed for direct and allocated expenses incurred in providing such administrative services, as set forth in the respective underlying agreements. These fees are recognized as revenue in the period administrative services are rendered. Medley also acts as the administrative agent on certain deals for which Medley may earn loan administration fees and transaction fees. Medley may also earn consulting fees for providing non-advisory services related to its managed funds. These fees are recognized as revenue over the period to which the fees directly relate. Investment Income (loss) - Carried Interest Carried interest are performance based fees that represent a capital allocation of income to the general partner or investment manager. Carried interest are allocated to the Company based on cumulative fund performance to date, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels in accordance with the respective terms set out in each fund’s governing documents and are accounted for under the equity method of accounting . Accordingly, these performance fees are reflected as carried interest within investment income on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and balances due for such fees are included as a part of equity method investments within Investments, at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company records carried interest based upon an assumed liquidation of that fund's net assets as of the reporting date, regardless of whether such amounts have been realized. For any given period, carried interest on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations may include reversals of previously recognized carried interest due to a decrease in the value of a particular fund that results in a decrease of cumulative fees earned to date. Since fund return hurdles are cumulative, previously recognized carried interest also may be reversed in a period of appreciation that is lower than the particular fund's hurdle rate. Carried interest received in prior peri ods may be required to be returned by the Company in future periods if the funds’ investment performance declines below certain levels. Each fund is considered separately in this regard and, for a given fund, carried interest can never be negative over the life of a fund. If upon a hypothetical liquidation of a fund’s investments, at their then current fair values, previously recognized and distributed carried interest would be required to be returned, a liability is established for the potential clawback obligation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company received a carried interest distribution of $0.3 million from one of its managed funds with no clawback liability established. Prior to the distribution received during the three months ended June 30, 2019 , the C ompany had not received any carried interest distributions, except for tax distributions related to the Company’s allocation of net income, which included an allocation of carried interest. Pursuant to the organizational documents of each respective fund, a portion of these tax distributions may be subject to clawback. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued $7.2 million for clawback obligations that would need to be paid if the funds were liquidated at fair value as of the end of the reporting period. The Company’s actual obligation, however, would not become payable or realized until the end of a fund’s life. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company's reversal of previously recognized carried interest was less than $0.1 million . Investment Income (loss) - Other Other investment income is comprised of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in fair value of the Company's equity method investments in addition to the income and expense allocations from such investments. Stock-based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense relating to equity based awards are measured at fair value as of the grant date, reduced for actual forfeitures in the period they occur, and expensed over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis as a component of compensation and benefits on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company also recognizes a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions and other tax matters as a component of its provision for income taxes. For interim periods, the Company accounts for income taxes based on its estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in its estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period in which they occur. Medley Management Inc. is subject to U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes on its allocable portion of the income of Medley LLC at prevailing corporate tax rates. Medley LLC and its subsidiaries are not subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes since all income, gains and losses are passed through to its members. However, a portion of taxable income from Medley LLC and its subsidiaries are subject to New York City’s unincorporated business tax, which is included in the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in all of the U.S. federal, state and local tax jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis, the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established. Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation Performance fee compensation reported in the prior period has been reclassified to compensation and benefits to conform to the current period presentation in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This reclassification had no effect on the reported results of operations. Class A Earnings per Share The Company computes and presents earnings per share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, the Company allocates earnings between common stock and participating securities. The two-class method includes an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared and undistributed earnings for the period. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the Company reduces its reported net earnings by the amount allocated to participating securities to arrive at the earnings allocated to Class A common stockholders. Earnings are then divided by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding to arrive at basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic earnings per share that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in our earnings. Participating securities consist of the Company's unvested restricted stock units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in its basic and diluted calculations. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted as of January 1, 2019 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) to increase the transparency and comparability among organizations as it relates to lease assets and lease liabilities, by requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months, with exceptions. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this guidance using a modified retrospective approach, which was required for all leases that exist at or commence after the date of the initial application with an option to use certain practical expedients. The Company has elected to use these practical expedients, which allow the Company to treat lease and non-lease components of its leases as a single component, have the ability to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment of right-of-use assets, not to reassess lease classification or whether an arrangement is or contains a lease and not to reassess its initial accounting for direct lease costs. The adoption of the new lease standard at January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $8.2 million and $10.2 million , respectively, consisting primarily of operating leases related to the rental of office space. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Additionally, this adoption did not impact any covenants associated with the Company's financial obligations. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework –Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty, and adding new disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The amendments in this ASU require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. It address when costs should be capitalized rather than expensed, the term to use when amortizing capitalized costs, and how to evaluate the unamortized portion of these capitalized implementation costs for impairment. This ASU also includes guidance on how to present implementation costs in the financial statements and creates additional disclosure requirements. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by these amendments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019, including interim reporting within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods and the impact the adoption of this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, revisions to authoritative guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenues from Contracts with Customers | REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The majority of the Company's revenues are derived from investment management and advisory contracts that are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. Performance Obligations Performance obligations are the unit of account under the revenue recognition standard and represent the distinct goods or services that are promised to the customer. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation to provide asset management, advisory and other related services to permanent capital vehicles, long-dated private funds and separately managed accounts. The Company also has a separate performance obligation to act as an agent for certain third party lenders and provide loan administration services to certain borrowers. These loan administration services also represent a single performance obligation. The Company primarily provides investment management services to a fund by managing the fund’s investments and maximizing returns on those investments. The Company’s asset management, advisory and other related services are transferred over time to the customer on a day-to-day basis. The contracts with each fund create a distinct performance obligation for each quarter the Company provides the promised services to the customer, from which the customer can benefit from each individual quarter of service. Furthermore, each quarter of the promised services is considered separately identifiable because there is no integration of the promised services between quarters, each quarter does not modify services provided prior to that quarter, and the services provided are not interdependent or interrelated. Most services provided to these funds are provided continuously over the contract period, so the services in the contract generally represent a single performance obligation comprising a series of distinct service periods. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to the series of distinct services that constitute a single performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The management fees earned by the Company are largely dependent on fluctuations in the market and, thus, the determination of such fees is highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence. Management fees typically have a large number and broad range of possible consideration amounts and historical experience is generally not indicative of future performance of the market. Hence, the Company is applying the exemption provided under the new revenue recognition guidance as the Company is unable to estimate the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied and the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Reimbursement of certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Company's funds are reported on a gross basis on the statements of operations if the Company is determined to be acting as the principal in those transactions. Significant Judgments The Company's contracts with customers generally include a single performance obligation to provide asset management, advisory and other related services on a quarterly basis. Revenues are recognized as such performance obligation is satisfied and the constraint on the management fees is lifted on a quarterly basis, hence, the Company does not need to exercise significant judgments in regards to management fees. Consideration for management fees is received on a quarterly basis as the performance obligations are satisfied. With respect to performance fees based on the economic performance of its SMAs, significant judgment is required when determining recognition of revenues. Such judgments include: • whether the fund is near final liquidation • whether the fair value of the remaining assets in the fund is significantly in excess of the threshold at which the Company would earn an incentive fee • the probability of significant fluctuations in the fair value of the remaining assets • the SMA’s remaining investments are under contract for sale with contractual purchase prices that would result in no clawback and it is highly likely that the contracts will be consummated As such, the Company will consider the above factors at each reporting period to determine whether there is an amount of the SMA performance fees which should be recognized as revenue because it is probable that there will not be a significant future revenue reversal, hence, the “constraint” on the performance fees has been lifted. The Company accounts for performance fees which represent capital allocations to the general partner or investment manager pursuant to accounting rules relating to investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As such, these types of performance fees are not within the scope of the new revenue recognition standard and the above significant judgments and constraints do not apply to them. Refer to Note 2 “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” and Note 4 " Investments " for additional information. Revenue by Category The following table presents the Company's revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by type of customer for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019: Permanent Long-dated SMAs Other Total For the three months ended June 30, 2019: (in thousands) Management fees $ 7,021 $ 1,710 $ 1,477 $ — $ 10,208 Other revenues and fees 1,472 — — 1,197 2,669 Total revenues from contracts with customers $ 8,493 $ 1,710 $ 1,477 $ 1,197 $ 12,877 For the six months ended June 30, 2019: Management fees $ 14,550 $ 3,570 $ 3,001 $ — $ 21,121 Other revenues and fees 3,252 — — 1,858 5,110 Total revenues from contracts with customers $ 17,802 $ 3,570 $ 3,001 $ 1,858 $ 26,231 The following table presents the Company's revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by type of customer for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018: Permanent Long-dated SMAs Other Total For the three months ended June 30, 2018: (in thousands) Management fees $ 8,374 $ 1,983 $ 1,608 $ — $ 11,965 Other revenues and fees 1,920 — — 1,118 3,038 Total revenues from contracts with customers $ 10,294 $ 1,983 $ 1,608 $ 1,118 $ 15,003 For the six months ended June 30, 2018: Management fees $ 16,767 $ 4,043 $ 3,240 $ — $ 24,050 Other revenues and fees 3,765 — — 1,602 5,367 Total revenues from contracts with customers $ 20,532 $ 4,043 $ 3,240 $ 1,602 $ 29,417 The Other revenues and fees balances above primarily consist of: (i) revenues earned by Medley while serving as loan administrative agent on certain deals, including loan administration fees and transaction fees, (ii) reimbursable origination and deal expenses, (iii) reimbursable entity formation and organizational expenses and (iv) consulting fees for providing non-advisory services related to one of our managed funds. The Company's asset management, advisory and other related services are transferred over time and the Company recognizes these revenues over time as well. Contract Balances For certain customers, the Company has a performance obligation to provide loan administration services. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to such customers or receiving consideration. For the majority of these services cash deposits are received prior to the performance obligation being met. The performance obligation of acting as a loan administrator is satisfied over time, therefore, the Company defers any payments received upfront as deferred revenue and recognizes revenue on a pro-rata basis over time as the loan administrative services are performed. These contract liabilities are reported as deferred revenue within accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $0.2 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized revenue from amounts included in deferred revenue of $0.2 million for each of those periods, and received cash deposits of $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized revenue from amounts included in deferred revenue of $0.3 million for each of those periods, and received cash deposits of $0.2 million and $0.3 million , respectively. The Company did not have any contract assets as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. Assets Recognized for the Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract As part of providing investment management services to a fund, the Company might incur certain placement fees to third parties for obtaining new investors for the fund. Any placement fees incurred to third party placement agents for placing investors into a fund are variable as it is based on a percentage of future fees and cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company determined that placement fees which are paid in cash over time as fees are earned, do not relate to a new contract at the time the payment is made. These costs do not represent a cost to obtain a new contract but rather a cost to fulfill an existing contract. The Company does not recognize any assets for the incremental costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract with a customer and expenses placement fees as incurred. |

Schedule of Investments [Abstract] | |
Investments | INVESTMENTS Investments consist of the following: As of June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (in thousands) Equity method investments, at fair value $ 13,018 $ 13,422 Investment in shares of MCC, at fair value 18,151 20,633 Investment held at cost less impairment 316 418 Investments of consolidated fund 2,090 1,952 Total investments, at fair value $ 33,575 $ 36,425 Equity Method Investments Medley measures the carrying value of its public non-traded equity method investment in Sierra Income Corporation (“SIC” or "Sierra"), a related party, at NAV per share. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in NAV per share is reflected as a component of investment loss, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying value of the Company’s privately-held equity method investments is determined based on the amounts invested by the Company plus the equity in earnings or losses of the investee allocated based on the respective underlying agreements, less distributions received. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. There were no impairment losses recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company's equity method investment in shares of Sierra were $7.1 million and $7.4 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The remaining balance as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 relates primarily to the Company’s investments in Medley Opportunity Fund II, LP ("MOF II"), Medley Opportunity Fund III LP (“MOF III”), Medley Opportunity Fund Offshore III LP (“MOF III Offshore”) and Aspect-Medley Investment Platform B LP ("Aspect B"). For performance fees earned which represent a capital allocation to the general partner or investment manager, the Company accounts for them under the equity method of accounting . As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance due to the Company for such performance fees was $0.9 million and $0.4 million , respectively. Revenues associated with these performance fees are classified as carried interest within investment income on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The entities in which the Company's investments are accounted for under the equity method are considered to be related parties. Investments in shares of MCC, at fair value As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held 7,756,938 shares of MCC which are carried at fair value based upon the quoted market price on the exchange on which the shares trade. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized unrealized losses of $6.0 million and $4.0 million , respectively, which are included as a component of other income (expense), net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized unrealized losses of $2.5 million and $13.6 million , respectively, which are included as a component of other income expenses, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Investment Held at Cost Less Impairment The Company measures its investment in CK Pearl at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer as well as any distributions received during the period. The carrying amount of this investment was $0.3 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company performs a quantitative and qualitative assessment at each reporting date to determine whether the investment is impaired and an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value is recorded within other income (expenses), net on the Company's consolidated statement of operations if an impairment has been determined. There were no impairment losses recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Investments of consolidated fund Medley measures the carrying value of investments held by its consolidated fund at fair value. As of June 30, 2019 , investments of consolidated fund consisted of $0.4 million of equity investments and $1.6 million of senior secured loans. As of December 31, 2018, investments of consolidated fund consisted of $0.4 million of equity investments and $1.6 million of senior secured loans.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 6 Months Ended |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Financial investments recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from this hierarchy: • Level I – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. • Level II – Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level I, which are either directly or indirectly observable at the measurement date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third parties for privately held assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly into valuation models to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or liabilities. • Level III – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and are based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets and liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the Market or Income Approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and EBITDA multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level III information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence. The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets measured at fair value: As of June 30, 2019 Level I Level II Level III Total Assets (in thousands) Investments of consolidated fund $ 368 $ — $ 1,722 $ 2,090 Investment in shares of MCC 18,151 — — 18,151 Total Assets $ 18,519 $ — $ 1,722 $ 20,241 As of December 31, 2018 Level I Level II Level III Total Assets (in thousands) Investments of consolidated fund $ 258 $ — $ 1,694 $ 1,952 Investment in shares of MCC 20,633 — — 20,633 Total Assets $ 20,891 $ — $ 1,694 $ 22,585 Included in investments of consolidated fund as of June 30, 2019 are Level I assets of $0.4 million in equity investments and Level III assets of $1.7 million , which consists of senior secured loans and equity investments. Included in investments of consolidated fund as of December 31, 2018 are Level I assets of $0.3 million in equity investments and Level III assets of $1.7 million , which consists of senior secured loans and preferred equity investments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level III assets of the consolidated fund's investments in senior secured loans include market yields. Significant increases or decreases in market yields in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. There were no significant unrealized gains or losses related to the investments of consolidated fund for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The following is a summary of changes in fair value of the Company's financial assets that have been categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy: Level III Financial Assets as of June 30, 2019 Balance at December 31, 2018 Purchases Transfers In or (Out) of Level III Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation) Sale of Level III Assets Balance at June 30, 2019 (in thousands) Investments of consolidated fund $ 1,694 505 — 6 (483 ) $ 1,722 A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting all levels of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in or out of Level I, II or III category as of the beginning of the quarter during which the reclassifications occur. There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. When determining the fair value of publicly traded equity securities, the Company uses the quoted closing market price as of the valuation date on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Our equity method investments for which fair value is measured at NAV per share, or its equivalent, using the practical expedient, are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The Company's investments of consolidated fund are treated as investments at fair value and any realized and unrealized gains and losses from those investments are recorded through the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company's treatment is consistent with that of STRF, which is considered an investment company under ASC 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, for standalone reporting purposes. |
LEASES

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | LEASES On January 1, 2019, the company adopted ASC 842, Leases, under the modified retrospective method where any transition adjustments are recorded through a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. This new accounting standard requires a dual approach for lessee accounting whereby a lessee accounts for lease arrangements as either operating leases or finance leases. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has elected the transition relief package of practical expedients permitted within ASC 842. Accordingly, the Company has not reassessed the classification of its existing leases as of the transition date, whether existing contracts at the transition date contain a lease, or whether unamortized initial direct costs before the transition adjustments would have met the definition of initial direct costs at lease commencement. The Company also applied practical expedients to not separate lease and non-lease components for all new leases as well as leases commencing before the effective date if certain criteria are met, and does not record leases on its consolidated balance sheet with expected terms of twelve months or less. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company recognized $8.2 million of right-of-use assets under operating leases and operating lease liabilities of $10.2 million . Under ASC 842, at the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Lease liabilities and the corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present values of lease payments over the expected lease terms. The Company’s expected lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. When determining if a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised, the Company considers several factors, including but not limited to, the significance of leasehold improvements incurred on the property, whether the asset is difficult to replace, or specific characteristics unique to the particular lease that would make it reasonably certain that the Company would exercise such option. The Company has concluded that renewal and early termination options are not reasonably certain of being exercised by the Company and thus not included in its right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates that would be incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis, over similar terms, amounts equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Variable payments that do not depend on a rate or index are not included in the lease liability and are recognized as incurred. If significant events, changes in circumstances, or other events indicate that the lease term or other inputs have changed, the Company would reassess lease classification, remeasure the lease liability by using revised inputs as of the reassessment date, and adjust the underlying right-of-use asset. Substantially all of the Company's operating leases are comprised of its office space in New York City and San Francisco which expire at various times through September 2023. The Company does not have any contracts that would be classified as a finance lease nor any operating leases that contain variable payments. The components of lease cost and other information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are as follows (dollars in thousands): For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Lease cost Operating lease costs $ 633 $ 1,258 Variable lease costs — — Sublease income (115 ) (230 ) Total lease cost $ 518 $ 1,028 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases as of June 30, 2019 was as follows: Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 4.0 Weighted-average discount rate 8.2 % Future payments for operating leases as of June 30, 2019 are as follows (in thousands): Remaining 2019 $ 1,362 2020 2,846 2021 2,483 2022 2,441 2023 1,823 Total future lease payments 10,955 Less imputed interest (1,688 ) Operating lease liabilities, as reported $ 9,267 For the three and six months ending June 30, 2018 , rent expense amounted to $0.6 million and $1.2 million , respectively. There is no material difference between the amount of lease expense recognized under the new lease accounting standard versus the superseded lease accounting standard. |

The 2024 Notes are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trade thereon under the trading symbol “MDLQ.” The fair value of the 2024 Notes based on their underlying quoted market price was $46.0 million as of June 30, 2019 . Interest expense on the 2024 Notes, including amortization of debt premium and debt issuance costs, was $1.4 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and $2.7 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. LOANS PAYABLE Loans payable consist of the following: As of June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (in thousands) Non-recourse promissory notes, net of unamortized discount of $108 at December 31, 2018 $ 10,000 $ 9,892 Total loans payable $ 10,000 $ 9,892 Non-Recourse Promissory Notes In April 2012, the Company borrowed $10.0 million under two non-recourse promissory notes. Proceeds from the borrowings were used to purchase 1,108,033 shares of common stock of SIC, which were pledged as collateral for the obligations. Interest on the notes is paid monthly and is equal to the dividends received by the Company related to the pledged shares. The Company may prepay the notes in whole or in part at any time without penalty and the lenders may call the notes if certain conditions are met. The Company extended the maturity date from March 31, 2019 to June 30, 2019 . The proceeds from the notes were recorded net of issuance costs of $3.8 million and were being accreted, using the effective interest method, over the original term of the non-recourse promissory notes. Total interest expense under these notes, including accretion of the notes discount, was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment which extended the June 30, 2019 maturity date to December 31, 2019. In consideration for this amendment, the interest rate on these notes were increased by 1.0% per annum. The fair value of the outstanding balance of the notes was $10.0 million as of each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. On January 31, 2019, the Company entered into a termination agreement with the lenders which will become effective upon the closing of the Company's pending merger with Sierra. In accordance with the provisions of the termination agreement, the Company will be required to pay the lenders $6.5 million on or prior to the merger closing date, reimburse the lenders for their out of pocket legal fees and enter into a new $6.5 million promissory note ("New Promissory Note"). The New Promissory Note will bear interest at LIBOR plus 7.0% and maturity will be six months after the merger closing date. Such consideration would be for the full satisfaction of the two aforementioned non-recourse promissory notes and related agreements, including the Company's revenue share payable, as further described in Note 12. Contractual Maturities of Loans Payable As further described above, upon closing of the Company's pending merger with Sierra, the Company's two non-recourse promissory and revenue sharing arrangement would be settled for payment of $6.5 million on or prior to the merger closing date and delivery of the New Promissory Note. If the pending merger does not close, $10.0 million of future principal payments will be due, relating to loans payable, on December 31, 2019. CNB Credit Agreement On August 19, 2014, the Company entered into a $15.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with City National Bank (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Company intended to use any proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including funding of its working capital needs. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest, at the option of the Company, either (i) at an Alternate Base Rate, as defined, plus an applicable margin not to exceed 0.25% or (ii) at an Adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin not to exceed 2.5% . The Revolving Credit Facility also contained financial covenants, customary negative covenants and other customary events of default, including defaults based on events of bankruptcy and insolvency, dissolution, nonpayment of principal, interest or fees when due, breach of specified covenants, change in control and material inaccuracy of representations and warranties. Effective May 13, 2019, the Company terminated the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no early termination penalties incurred by the Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, there was no amortization of deferred issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility. Amortization of deferred issuance costs were less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, amortization of deferred issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility were $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million , respectively. The Company had not incurred any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility since its inception. |

LOANS PAYABLE Loans payable consist of the following: As of June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (in thousands) Non-recourse promissory notes, net of unamortized discount of $108 at December 31, 2018 $ 10,000 $ 9,892 Total loans payable $ 10,000 $ 9,892 Non-Recourse Promissory Notes In April 2012, the Company borrowed $10.0 million under two non-recourse promissory notes. Proceeds from the borrowings were used to purchase 1,108,033 shares of common stock of SIC, which were pledged as collateral for the obligations. Interest on the notes is paid monthly and is equal to the dividends received by the Company related to the pledged shares. The Company may prepay the notes in whole or in part at any time without penalty and the lenders may call the notes if certain conditions are met. The Company extended the maturity date from March 31, 2019 to June 30, 2019 . The proceeds from the notes were recorded net of issuance costs of $3.8 million and were being accreted, using the effective interest method, over the original term of the non-recourse promissory notes. Total interest expense under these notes, including accretion of the notes discount, was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment which extended the June 30, 2019 maturity date to December 31, 2019. In consideration for this amendment, the interest rate on these notes were increased by 1.0% per annum. The fair value of the outstanding balance of the notes was $10.0 million as of each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. On January 31, 2019, the Company entered into a termination agreement with the lenders which will become effective upon the closing of the Company's pending merger with Sierra. In accordance with the provisions of the termination agreement, the Company will be required to pay the lenders $6.5 million on or prior to the merger closing date, reimburse the lenders for their out of pocket legal fees and enter into a new $6.5 million promissory note ("New Promissory Note"). The New Promissory Note will bear interest at LIBOR plus 7.0% and maturity will be six months after the merger closing date. Such consideration would be for the full satisfaction of the two aforementioned non-recourse promissory notes and related agreements, including the Company's revenue share payable, as further described in Note 12. Contractual Maturities of Loans Payable As further described above, upon closing of the Company's pending merger with Sierra, the Company's two non-recourse promissory and revenue sharing arrangement would be settled for payment of $6.5 million on or prior to the merger closing date and delivery of the New Promissory Note. If the pending merger does not close, $10.0 million of future principal payments will be due, relating to loans payable, on December 31, 2019. CNB Credit Agreement On August 19, 2014, the Company entered into a $15.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with City National Bank (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Company intended to use any proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including funding of its working capital needs. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest, at the option of the Company, either (i) at an Alternate Base Rate, as defined, plus an applicable margin not to exceed 0.25% or (ii) at an Adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin not to exceed 2.5% .

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, there was no amortization of deferred issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility. Amortization of deferred issuance costs were less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, amortization of deferred issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility were $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million , respectively. The Company had not incurred any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility since its inception. |

DUE TO FORMER MINORITY INTEREST HOLDER | DUE TO FORMER MINORITY INTEREST HOLDER This balance consists of the following: As of June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (in thousands) Due to former minority interest holder, net of unamortized discount of $2,074 and $2,598, respectively $ 9,301 $ 11,402 Total due to former minority interest holder $ 9,301 $ 11,402 In January 2016, the Company executed an amendment to SIC Advisors' operating agreement which provided the Company with the right to redeem membership units owned by the minority interest holder, Strategic Capital Advisory Services, LLC. The Company’s redemption right was triggered by the termination of the dealer manager agreement between Sierra and SC Distributors LLC ("DMA Termination"), an affiliate of the minority interest holder. As a result of this redemption feature, the Company reclassified the non-controlling interest in SIC Advisors from the equity section of its consolidated balance sheet to redeemable non-controlling interests in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheet based on its fair value as of the amendment date. On July 31, 2018, a DMA Termination event occurred and, as a result, the Company reclassified the redeemable non-controlling interest in SIC Advisors from redeemable non-controlling in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheet to due to former minority interest holder, a component of total liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, based on its fair value as of that date. In December, 2018, Medley LLC entered into a Letter Agreement with Strategic Capital Advisory Services, LLC, whereby consideration of $14.0 million was agreed upon for the satisfaction in full of all amounts owed by Medley under the LLC Agreement. The amount due will be paid in sixteen equal installments through August 5, 2022. The Company evaluated this agreement under ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishment , to determine if modification or extinguishment treatment was necessary. After performing this analysis, the Company determined modification treatment was appropriate and a new effective interest rate was established on the modification date. As of June 30, 2019 future payments due to the former minority interest holder are as follows (in thousands): Remaining in 2019 $ 1,750 2020 3,500 2021 3,500 2022 2,625 Total future payments $ 11,375 The amount due will be paid in quarterly installments over a four year period, beginning 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the amortization of the discount was $0.3 million and $0.5 million , respectively, and is included as a component of interest expense on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases Refer to Note 6 to these condensed consolidated financial statements. Consolidation of Business Activities During the first quarter of 2018, the Company initiated the consolidation of its business activities to its New York office. The Company believes this will enhance operations by consolidating origination, underwriting and asset management operations and personnel in a single location. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $2.2 million in severance costs, respectively. In addition, the company incurred a $0.1 million loss from subleasing its San Francisco office during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Capital Commitments to Funds As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had aggregate unfunded commitments of $0.3 million to certain long-dated private funds. Other Commitments In April 2012, the Company entered into an obligation to pay to a third party a fixed percentage of management and incentive fees received by the Company from Sierra. The agreement was entered into contemporaneously with the $10.0 million non-recourse promissory notes that were issued to the same parties (Note 9). The two transactions were deemed to be related freestanding contracts and the $10.0 million of loan proceeds were allocated to the contracts using their relative fair values. At inception, the Company recognized an obligation of $4.4 million representing the present value of the future cash flows expected to be paid under this agreement. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, this obligation amounted to $2.6 million and $3.0 million , respectively, and is recorded as revenue share payable, a component of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The change in the estimated cash flows for this obligation is recorded in other expenses, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. On January 31, 2019, the Company entered into a termination agreement with the lenders which would become effective upon the closing of the Company's pending merger with Sierra. In accordance with the provisions of the termination agreement, the Company would pay the lenders $6.5 million on or prior to the merger closing date, reimburse the lenders for their out of pocket legal fees and enter into a six month $6.5 million promissory note. The promissory note would bear interest at seven percentage points over the LIBOR Rate, as defined in the termination agreement. Such consideration would be for the full satisfaction of the two non-recourse promissory notes disclosed in Note 9 as well as the Company's obligation above. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. Its business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against it. Except as described below, the Company is not currently party to any material legal proceedings. One of the Company's subsidiaries, MCC Advisors LLC, was named as a defendant in a lawsuit on May 29, 2015, by Moshe Barkat and Modern VideoFilm Holdings, LLC (“MVF Holdings”) against MCC, MOF II, MCC Advisors LLC, Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP A/K/A Deloitte ERG (“Deloitte”), Scott Avila (“Avila”), Charles Sweet, and Modern VideoFilm, Inc. (“MVF”). The lawsuit is pending in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, Central District, as Case No. BC 583437. The lawsuit was filed after MCC, as agent for the lender group, exercised remedies following a series of defaults by MVF and MVF Holdings on a secured loan with an outstanding balance at the time in excess of $65 million . The lawsuit sought damages in excess of $100 million . Deloitte and Avila have settled the claims against them in exchange for payment of $1.5 million . On June 6, 2016, the court granted the Medley defendants’ demurrers on several counts and dismissed Mr. Barkat’s claims with prejudice except with respect to his claim for intentional interference with contract. On March 18, 2018, the court granted the Medley defendants’ motion for summary adjudication with respect to Mr. Barkat’s sole remaining claim against the Medley Defendants for intentional interference. Now that the trial court has ruled in favor of the Medley defendants on all counts, the only remaining claims in the Barkat litigation are MCC and MOF II’s affirmative counterclaims against Mr. Barkat and MVF Holdings, which MCC and MOF II are diligently prosecuting. On August 29, 2016, MVF Holdings filed another lawsuit in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, Central District, as Case No. BC 631888 (the “Derivative Action”), naming MCC Advisors LLC and certain of Medley’s employees as defendants, among others. The plaintiff in the Derivative Action, asserts claims against the defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, interference with prospective economic advantage, fraud, and declaratory relief. MCC Advisors LLC and the other defendants believe the causes of action asserted in the Derivative Action are without merit and all defendants intend to continue to assert a vigorous defense. All proceedings in the Derivative Action have been stayed as a result of the chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings of MVF, which were commenced on May 16, 2018. On August 29, 2016, however, despite the automatic stay of the MVF Bankruptcy, the Plaintiff filed an amended complaint seeking to restyle the derivative action into a direct action to circumvent the MVF bankruptcy’s automatic stay. To date, the California Superior Court has not proceeded with the amended complaint. Medley LLC, Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, Medley Management, Inc., Medley Group, LLC, Brook Taube, and Seth Taube were named as defendants, along with other various parties, in a putative class action lawsuit captioned as Royce Solomon, Jodi Belleci, Michael Littlejohn, and Giulianna Lomaglio v. American Web Loan, Inc., AWL, Inc., Mark Curry, MacFarlane Group, Inc., Sol Partners, Medley Opportunity Fund, II, LP, Medley LLC, Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Management, Inc., Medley Group, LLC, Brook Taube, Seth Taube, DHI Computing Service, Inc., Middlemarch Partners, and John Does 1-100, filed on December 15, 2017, amended on March 9, 2018, and amended a second time on February 15, 2019, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Newport News Division, as Case No. 4:17-cv-145 (hereinafter, “Class Action 1”). Medley Opportunity Fund II LP and Medley Capital Corporation were also named as defendants, along with various other parties, in a putative class action lawsuit captioned George Hengle and Lula Williams v. Mark Curry, American Web Loan, Inc., AWL, Inc., Red Stone, Inc., Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, and Medley Capital Corporation, filed February 13, 2018, in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division, as Case No. 3:18-cv-100 (“Class Action 2”). Medley Opportunity Fund II LP and Medley Capital Corporation were also named as defendants, along with various other parties, in a putative class action lawsuit captioned John Glatt, Sonji Grandy, Heather Ball, Dashawn Hunter, and Michael Corona v. Mark Curry, American Web Loan, Inc., AWL, Inc., Red Stone, Inc., Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, and Medley Capital Corporation, filed August 9, 2018 in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, Newport News Division, as Case No. 4:18-cv-101 (“Class Action 3”) (together with Class Action 1 and Class Action 2, the “Virginia Class Actions”). Medley Opportunity Fund II LP was also named as a defendant, along with various other parties, in a putative class action lawsuit captioned Christina Williams and Michael Stermel v. Red Stone, Inc. (as successor in interest to MacFarlane Group, Inc.), Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, Mark Curry, Brian McGowan, Vincent Ney, and John Doe entities and individuals, filed June 29, 2018 and amended July 26, 2018, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, as Case No. 2:18-cv-2747 (the “Pennsylvania Class Action”) (together with the Virginia Class Actions, the “Class Action Complaints”). The plaintiffs in the Class Action Complaints filed their putative class actions alleging claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, and various other claims arising out of the alleged payday lending activities of American Web Loan. The claims against Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, Medley LLC, Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Management, Inc., Medley Group, LLC, Brook Taube, and Seth Taube (in Class Action 1, as amended); Medley Opportunity Fund II LP and Medley Capital Corporation (in Class Action 2 and Class Action 3); and Medley Opportunity Fund II LP (in the Pennsylvania Class Action), allege that those defendants in each respective action exercised control over, or improperly derived income from, and/or obtained an improper interest in, American Web Loan’s payday lending activities as a result of a loan to American Web Loan. The loan was made by Medley Opportunity Fund II LP in 2011. American Web Loan repaid the loan from Medley Opportunity Fund II LP in full in February of 2015, more than 1 year and 10 months prior to any of the loans allegedly made by American Web Loan to the alleged class plaintiff representatives in Class Action 1. In Class Action 2, the alleged class plaintiff representatives have not alleged when they received any loans from American Web Loan. In Class Action 3, the alleged class plaintiff representatives claim to have received loans from American Web Loan at various times from February 2015 through April 2018. In the Pennsylvania Class Action, the alleged class plaintiff representatives claim to have received loans from American Web Loan in 2017. By orders dated August 7, 2018 and September 17, 2018, the Court presiding over the Virginia Class Actions consolidated those cases for all purposes. On October 12, 2018, Plaintiffs in Class Action 3 filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of all claims, and on October 29, 2018, Plaintiffs in Class Action 2 filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of all claims. Medley LLC, Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Management, Inc., Medley Group, LLC, Brook Taube, and Seth Taube never made any loans or provided financing to, or had any other relationship with, American Web Loan. Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, Medley LLC, Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Management, Inc., Medley Group, LLC, Brook Taube, Seth Taube are seeking indemnification from American Web Loan, various affiliates, and other parties with respect to the claims in the Class Action Complaints. Medley Opportunity Fund II LP, Medley LLC, Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Management, Inc., Medley Group, LLC, Brook Taube, and Seth Taube believe the alleged claims in the Class Action Complaints are without merit and they intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously. On January 25, 2019, two purported class actions were commenced in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, by alleged stockholders of Medley Capital Corporation, captioned, respectively, Helene Lax v. Brook Taube, et al., Index No. 650503/2019, and Richard Dicristino, et al. v. Brook Taube, et al., Index No. 650510/2019 (together with the Lax Action, the “New York Actions”). Named as defendants in each complaint are Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeffrey Tonkel, Arthur S. Ainsberg, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Mark Lerdal, Richard T. Allorto, Jr., Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Management Inc., Sierra Income Corporation, and Sierra Management, Inc. The complaints in each of the New York Actions allege that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed merger of MCC with and into Sierra, and that the other defendants aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. Compensatory damages in unspecified amounts are sought. On February 27, 2019, the Court entered a stipulated scheduling order requiring that defendants respond to the complaints 45 days following the later of (a) the stockholder vote on the proposed merger and (b) plaintiffs’ filing of a consolidated, amended complaint. A preliminary conference is scheduled to take place on September 24, 2019. The defendants believe the claims asserted in the New York Actions are without merit and they intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously. At this time, we are unable to determine whether an unfavorable outcome from these matters is probable or remote or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any. On February 11, 2019, a purported stockholder class action was commenced in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by FrontFour Capital Group LLC and FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd. (together, “FrontFour”), captioned FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al. v. Brook Taube, et al., Case No. 2019-0100 (the “FrontFour Action”), against defendants Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, Sierra, MCC, MCC Advisors LLC (“MCC Advisors”), Medley Group, and Medley LLC. The complaint, as amended on February 12, 2019, alleged that the individuals named as defendants breached their fiduciary duties to MCC stockholders in connection with the proposed merger of MCC with Sierra (the “MCC Merger”), and that MDLY, Sierra, MCC Advisors, Medley Group, and Medley LLC aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought to enjoin the vote of MCC stockholders on the proposed merger and enjoin enforcement of certain provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2018, by and between MCC and Sierra (the “MCC Merger Agreement”). The Court held a trial on the plaintiffs’ claims on March 6-7, 2019 and issued a Memorandum Opinion (the “Decision”) on March 11, 2019. The Court denied the plaintiffs’ requests to (i) permanently enjoin the proposed merger and (ii) require MCC to conduct a “shopping process” for MCC on terms proposed by the plaintiffs in their complaint. The Court held that MCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the proposed merger, but rejected the plaintiffs’ claim that Sierra aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. The Court ordered the defendants to issue corrective disclosures consistent with the Decision, and enjoined a vote of MCC stockholders on the proposed merger until such disclosures have been made and stockholders have had the opportunity to assimilate this information. On March 20, 2019, another purported stockholder class action was commenced by Stephen Altman against Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Arthur S. Ainsberg, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, Mark Lerdal, and John E. Mack in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Altman v. Taube, Case No. 2019-0219 (the “Altman Action”). The complaint alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders of MCC in connection with the vote of MCC stockholders on the proposed mergers. On April 8, 2019, the Court granted a stipulation consolidating the FrontFour Action and the Altman Action, designating the amended complaint in the FrontFour Action as the operative complaint, and designating the plaintiffs in the FrontFour Action and their counsel the lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs’ counsel, respectively. On April 15, 2019, certain parties reached agreement on the principal terms of a settlement of the FrontFour Action, which were contained in a term sheet, dated April 15, 2019 (the “Settlement Term Sheet”). On July 29, 2019 MDLY entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (and, as amended on August 8, 2019, the "Stipulation") by and among MCC, Brook Taube, Seth Taube, Jeff Tonkel, Mark Lerdal, Karin Hirtler-Garvey, John E. Mack, Arthur S. Ainsberg, MDLY, MCC Advisors, Medley LLC and Medley Group LLC (the “Medley Parties”), on the one hand, and FrontFour, on behalf of itself and a class of similarly situated stockholders of MCC, on the other hand, in connection with the FrontFour Action. The Stipulation provides for the settlement of all claims brought against the Medley Parties in the FrontFour Action. Under the Stipulation, MCC agreed to seek the agreement and/or consent of Sierra to effect certain amendments to (i) the MCC Merger Agreement and (ii) the MDLY Merger Agreement (together with the MCC Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”), which have been reflected in the revised Merger Agreements annexed to the Stipulation. The Stipulation also provides for, if the MCC Merger is consummated, the creation of a settlement fund, consisting of $17 million in cash and $30 million of Sierra stock, with the number of shares of Sierra stock to be calculated using the pro forma net asset value reported in the future proxy supplement describing the amendments to the MCC Merger Agreement, which will be distributed to eligible members of the Settlement Class (as defined in the Stipulation). Under the Stipulation, MDLY also consented to certain amendments to the Merger Agreements that have been reflected in the revised Merger Agreements annexed to the Stipulation. In addition, in connection with the Stipulation, on July 29, 2019, MCC entered into a Governance Agreement with FrontFour Capital Group LLC, FrontFour Master Fund, Ltd., FrontFour Capital Corp., FrontFour Opportunity Fund, David A. Lorber, Stephen E. Loukas and Zachary R. George, pursuant to which, among other matters, FrontFour is subject to customary standstill restrictions and required to vote in favor of the MCC Merger at a meeting of stockholders to approve the Amended MCC Merger Agreement. The Stipulation also provides for mutual releases between and among FrontFour and the Settlement Class, on the one hand, and the Medley Parties, on the other hand, of all claims that were or could have been asserted in the FrontFour Action. The Medley Parties will also release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the FrontFour Action and all claims that were or could have been asserted (other than claims against the Highland Parties, as defined in the Stipulation) in the litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned Medley Capital Corporation v. FrontFour Capital Group LLC, et al., No. 1:19-cv-02055-LTS (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Federal Action”), and FrontFour and the Settlement Class will release all claims arising out of or relating to the prosecution and settlement of the Federal Action. The Stipulation further provides that MCC and FrontFour shall work together in good faith to agree to supplemental disclosures relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements consistent with the Decision. The Stipulation is subject to the approval of the Court. The Court is expected to schedule a hearing on October 24, 2019 to consider the Stipulation. MARILYN S. ADLER, v. MEDLEY CAPITAL LLC et. al. (Supreme Court of New York, March 2019). Marilyn Adler, a former employee who served as a Managing Director of Medley Capital LLC, filed suit in the New York Supreme Court, Commercial Part, on March 1, 2019 against Medley Capital LLC, MCC Advisors, Medley SBIC GP, LLC, Medley Capital Corporation, Medley Management Inc., as well as Brook Taube, and Seth Taube, individually. Ms. Adler alleges that she is due in excess of $6.5 million in compensation based upon her role with Medley’s SBIC Fund. Her claims are for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, conversion, tortious interference, as well as a claim for an accounting of funds maintained by the defendants. The Company believes the claims are without merit, intends to vigorously defend them, and has asserted counterclaims against Ms. Adler for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duties. In response to the Company’s motion to dismiss the breach of contract claim, Ms. Adler has conceded there was no written contract. The parties are in the initial stages of discovery. While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or overall trends in consolidated results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. The Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation and regulatory matters on a quarterly and annual basis. The Company establishes liabilities for litigation and regulatory actions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, no liability is established. Employment Agreements In connection with the Company's pending merger with Sierra, certain pre-IPO owners entered into employment agreements which would become effective upon the successful completion of the merger. Each employment agreement sets forth a base salary, which is subject to change at the discretion of the Board or compensation committee of the post-merged entity. The initial term of the employment agreements range from 24 to 30 months. Upon effectiveness of the employment agreements, the combined initial base salaries of the pre-IPO members would be $2.5 million . Under the employment agreements, each pre-IPO owner is eligible to receive each year a short-term incentive paid in cash and a long-term incentive in the form of an equity award, each paid after the end of the year. Each employment agreement provides that the post merged entity's Board or compensation committee will establish a target annual bonus for each year of no less than a specified percentage of each pre-IPO owner's base salary and will establish performance and other objectives for the year for such annual bonus, in consultation with management. During their first year of employment, the combined target annual bonuses could amount up to $10.9 million of which $4.1 million would consist of cash and $6.8 million in the form of restricted stock units which would vest over a three year period. The employment agreements also set forth bonuses for 2019 which the Board or the compensation committee of the post-merger company may increase in recognition of performance in excess of performance objectives. The aggregate 2019 bonuses to certain pre-IPO owners amount to $10.9 million of which $4.1 million would be payable in cash and $6.8 million in the form of restricted stock units which would vest over a three year period. As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not accrue for any bonuses to these pre-IPO members as the 2019 bonus amounts per the employment agreements are not effective until the closing of the merger. The long-term equity incentive will be made in the form of an equity award, vesting in three equal annual installments. The cash and equity award portions of the annual bonuses paid under the employment agreements will be subject to recoupment by the Combined Company to the extent required by applicable law (including without limitation Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act) and/or the rules and regulations of the NYSE. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Substantially all of Medley’s revenue is earned through agreements with its non-consolidated funds for which it collects management and performance fees for providing asset management, advisory and other related services. Administration Agreements In January 2011 and April 2012, Medley entered into administration agreements with MCC (the “MCC Admin Agreement”) and Sierra (the “SIC Admin Agreement”), respectively, whereby, as part of its performance obligation to provide asset management, advisory and other related services, Medley agreed to provide administrative services necessary for the operations of MCC and Sierra. MCC and Sierra agreed to pay Medley for the costs and expenses incurred in providing such administrative services, including an allocable portion of Medley’s overhead expenses and an allocable portion of the cost of MCC and Sierra's officers and their respective staff. Additionally, Medley has entered into administration agreements with other entities that it manages (the “Funds Admin Agreements”), whereby Medley agreed to provide administrative services necessary for the operations of these entities. These entities agreed to reimburse Medley for the costs and expenses incurred in providing such administrative services, including an allocable portion of Medley’s overhead expenses and an allocable portion of the cost of these other vehicles' officers and their respective staffs. Medley records these administrative fees as revenue in the period when the performance obligation of providing such administrative services is satisfied and such revenue is included as a component of other revenues and fees on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amounts due from these agreements are included as a component of other assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total revenues recorded under these agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are reflected in the table below: For the Three Months Ended For the For the Six Months Ended 2019 2018 2019 2018 (in thousands) MCC Admin Agreement $ 734 $ 917 $ 1,615 $ 1,818 SIC Admin Agreement 515 746 1,178 1,445 Funds Admin Agreements 223 257 459 502 Total administrative fees from related parties $ 1,472 $ 1,920 $ 3,252 $ 3,765 Amounts due from related parties under these agreements are reflected in the table below: As of June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (in thousands) Amounts due from MCC under the MCC Admin Agreement $ 762 $ 804 Amounts due from SIC under the SIC Admin Agreement 536 619 Amounts due from entities under the Funds Admin Agreements 223 222 Total administrative fees receivable $ 1,521 $ 1,645 Management fee Waiver During the first quarter of 2018, the Company voluntarily waived $0.4 million in management fees for MCC.

Investments Refer to Note 4 " Investments " for information related to the Company's investments in related parties. Exchange Agreement Prior to the completion of the Company's IPO, Medley LLC's limited liability agreement was restated among other things, to modify its capital structure by reclassifying the interests held by its then existing owners (i.e. the members of Medley prior to the IPO) into the LLC Units. Medley’s existing owners also entered into an exchange agreement under which they (or certain permitted transferees thereof) have the right (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement as described therein), to exchange their LLC Units for shares of Medley Management Inc.’s Class A common stock on a one -for-one basis at fair value, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. Tax Receivable Agreement Medley Management Inc. entered into a tax receivable agreement with the holders of LLC Units that provides for the payment by Medley Management Inc. to exchanging holders of LLC Units of 85% of the benefits, if any, that Medley Management Inc. is deemed to realize as a result of increases in tax basis of tangible and intangible assets of Medley LLC from the future exchange of LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock, as well as certain other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. The term of the tax receivable agreement will continue until all such tax benefits under the agreement have been utilized or have expired, unless Medley Management Inc. exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement for an amount based on an agreed value of payments remaining to be made under the agreement. There have been no transactions under this agreement through June 30, 2019 . In connection with the Amended and Restated Agreement Plan and of Merger between MDLY and Sierra, the parties to the aforementioned tax receivable agreement will enter into the Tax Receivable Termination Agreement, pursuant to which the existing tax receivable agreement between MDLY and the holders of LLC Units (other than MDLY) will be terminated, effective as of the MDLY Merger Effective Time, as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These temporary differences result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's deferred tax assets were $3.4 million and $3.7 million , respectively, which consists primarily of temporary differences relating to certain accrued expenses, stock-based compensation, unrealized losses and a tax benefit relating to tax goodwill. The Company's deferred tax asset balance as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is presented net of a valuation allowance of $1.0 million . This valuation allowance was established during the year ended December 31, 2018 and relates to the portion of the Company's deferred tax assets associated with cumulative unrealized losses. Of the $1.0 million , $0.7 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company considers it more likely than not that it would not be able to generate enough capital gains in the near future to realize the deferred tax asset associated with such capital losses. Deferred tax liabilities were $0.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The quarterly provision for income taxes is determined based on the Company’s estimated full year effective tax rate adjusted by the amount of tax attributable to infrequent or unusual items that are recognized on a discrete basis in the income tax provision in the period in which they occur. The Company’s effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the Company’s subsidiaries operate as limited liability companies, which are not subject to federal or state income tax. Accordingly, a portion of the Company’s earnings attributable to non-controlling interests are not subject to corporate level taxes. However, a portion of the Company's subsidiaries' income is subject to New York City’s unincorporated business tax. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company was only subject to federal, state and city corporate income taxes on its pre-tax income attributable to Medley Management Inc. The Company’s effective tax rate was 1.0% and (8.6)% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and 3.0% and (3.3)% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The variance in the effective tax rate was primarily attributed to losses allocated to one of our non-controlling interests of $6.0 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2.0 million and $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which are not subject to income taxes and the recording of a $0.7 million valuation allowance during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized as a component of the provision for income taxes and were not significant during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . As of and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no uncertain tax positions taken that were not more likely than not to be sustained. |
COMPENSATION EXPENSE
COMPENSATION EXPENSE | 6 Months Ended |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Compensation Expense | COMPENSATION EXPENSE Compensation generally includes salaries, bonuses, equity and profit sharing awards. Bonuses, equity and profit sharing awards are accrued over the service period to which they relate. Guaranteed payments made to our senior professionals who are members of Medley LLC are recognized as compensation expense. The guaranteed payments to the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers are performance based and are periodically set subject to maximums based on the Company’s total assets under management. Such maximums aggregated to $1.3 million during each of the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and $2.5 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , neither of the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers received any guaranteed payments. Retirement Plan The Company sponsors a defined-contribution 401(k) retirement plan that covers all employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan immediately, and participants are 100% vested from the date of eligibility. The Company makes contributions to the plan of 3% of an employee’s eligible wages, up to a maximum limit as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company also pays all administrative fees related to the plan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company's accrued contributions to the plan were $0.1 million and $0.3 million , respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company's accrued contributions to the plan were $0.1 million and $0.4 million , respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the Company's outstanding liability to the plan was $0.4 million and $0.5 million , respectively. Stock-Based Compensation In connection with the IPO, the Company adopted the Medley Management Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended, the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to provide a means through which the Company may attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means whereby directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors (and prospective directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors) of the Company can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company, or be paid incentive compensation, including incentive compensation measured by reference to the value of Medley Management Inc.’s Class A common stock or Medley LLC’s unit interests, thereby strengthening their commitment to the welfare of the Company and aligning their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted LLC Units of Medley LLC, stock bonuses, other stock-based awards and cash awards. Shares of Class A common stock issued by the Company in settlement of awards may be authorized and unissued shares, shares held in the treasury of the Company, shares purchased on the market or by private purchase or a combination of the foregoing. On May 29, 2019, at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of the awards available for issuance thereunder by 4,500,000 to 9,000,000 . As of June 30, 2019 , there were 2.7 million awards available to be granted under the Plan, as amended. Excluded from the available amount as of June 30, 2019 are Board approved employee awards of 399,400 RSUs and an award of restricted LLC Units with an aggregate grant date fair value of $1,000,000 . The grant of these awards is conditioned on the closing of the Company's pending merger with Sierra. The fair value of RSUs granted under the Plan is determined to be the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The fair value of restricted LLC Units of Medley LLC is based on the public share price of MDLY at date of grant, adjusted for different distribution rights. The aggregate fair value of these awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is generally up to five years, with the exception of certain restricted LLC Units that will only vest upon certain conditions such as death, disability, termination without cause or change of control. For these awards, compensation expense is recognized when such condition is met. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 stock-based compensation was $1.4 million and $3.2 million , respectively. Stock-based compensation was $1.6 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. A summary of RSU and restricted LLC Unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows: Number of RSUs Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Number of Restricted LLC Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Balance at December 31, 2018 1,822,814 $ 7.74 1,305,969 $ 6.86 Granted 1,082,898 3.26 1,610,671 2.53 Forfeited (231,712 ) 6.89 — — Vested (321,099 ) 6.72 — — Balance at June 30, 2019 2,352,901 $ 5.90 2,916,640 $ 4.47 The aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs vested during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.2 million . The vesting of 321,099 RSUs resulted in the issuance of 169,813 Class A common shares to employees and independent directors and 66,668 LLC Units to the pre-IPO members. The employee RSUs were net-share settled such that the Company withheld awards with the aggregate fair value equivalent to the employees' minimum statutory tax obligations in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Total employee tax obligations amounted to $0.3 million and payments to the appropriate taxing authorities are reflected as a financing activity on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 there was $0.9 million and $0.6 million , respectively, of previously recognized compensation reversed relating to forfeited RSUs. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reclassified cumulative dividends of $0.3 million from retained earnings to other compensation expense as a result of such forfeitures. Cumulative dividends reclassified from retained earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.1 million . Unamortized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs and restricted LLC units as of June 30, 2019 was $16.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years. Such amount excludes unamortized compensation of $1.3 million relating to certain restricted LLC Units which only vest upon death, disability, termination without cause or change of control. |

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests | REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS Changes in redeemable non-controlling interests during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are reflected in the table below: For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 (in thousands) Beginning balance $ 23,186 $ 53,741 Net loss attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries (2,033 ) (6,980 ) Distributions (1,576 ) (4,366 ) Ending balance $ 19,577 $ 42,395 In January 2016, the Company executed an amendment to SIC Advisors' operating agreement which provided the Company with the right to redeem membership units owned by the minority interest holder. The Company’s redemption right is triggered by the termination of the dealer manager agreement between Sierra and SC Distributors LLC ("DMA Termination"), an affiliate of the minority interest holder. As a result of this redemption feature, the Company reclassified the non-controlling interest in SIC Advisors from the equity section to redeemable non-controlling interests in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheet based on its fair value as of the amendment date. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was determined to be $12.2 million on the date of the amendment and was adjusted through a charge to non-controlling interests in Medley LLC. On July 31, 2018, a DMA Termination event occurred and the membership units held by the minority interest holder were redeemed by Medley. In connection with the DMA Termination, the Company reclassified SIC Advisors' minority interest balance from redeemable non-controlling interests in the mezzanine section of its consolidated balance sheet to due to former minority interest holder (Note 10), a component of total liabilities, at its then fair value. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was determined to be $12.3 million on the DMA Termination date and was adjusted through a $1.0 million charge to non-controlling interests in Medley LLC. During the three and six months ended June, 2018, profits allocated to this non-controlling interest were $0.8 million and $1.7 million , respectively, and distributions paid were $0.9 million and $2.3 million , respectively. There were no profits or distributions allocated to this non-controlling interest subsequent the Company's redemption of the membership units held by the former minority interest holder. On June 3, 2016, the Company entered into a Master Investment Agreement with DB MED Investor I LLC and DB MED Investor II LLC (the ‘‘Investors’’) to invest up to $50.0 million in new and existing Medley managed funds (the ‘‘Joint Venture’’). The Company agreed to contribute up to $10.0 million and an interest in STRF Advisors LLC, the investment advisor to Sierra Total Return Fund, in exchange for common equity interests in the Joint Venture. On June 6, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to its Master Investment Agreement with the Investors, which provided for, among other things, an increase in the Company’s capital contribution to up to $13.8 million and extended the term of the Joint Venture from seven to ten years. The Investors agreed to invest up to $40.0 million in exchange for preferred equity interests in the Joint Venture. Total contributions to the Joint Venture amounted to $53.8 million and were used to purchase $51.8 million of MCC shares on the open market and seed fund $2.0 million to STRF. On account of the preferred equity interests, the Investors will receive an 8% preferred distribution, 15% of the Joint Venture’s profits, and all of the profits from the contributed interest in STRF Advisors LLC. Medley has the option, subject to certain conditions, to cause the Joint Venture to redeem the Investors’ interest in exchange for repayment of the outstanding investment amount at the time of redemption, plus certain other considerations. The Investors have the right, after ten years , to redeem their interests in the Joint Venture. As such, the Investors’ interest in the Joint Venture is included as a component of redeemable non-controlling interests on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $20.3 million and $ 23.9 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, losses allocated to this non-controlling interest were $6.0 million and $2.0 million , respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, losses allocated to this non-controlling interest were $3.2 million and $8.4 million , respectively. Distributions paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were $0.8 million and $1.6 million , respectively. Distributions paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $1.1 million and $2.1 million , respectively. In October 2016, the Company executed an operating agreement for STRF Advisors LLC which provided the Company with the right to redeem membership units owned by the minority interest holder. The Company’s redemption right is triggered by the termination of the dealer manager agreement between STRF and SC Distributors LLC, an affiliate of the minority interest holder. As a result of this redemption feature, the non-controlling interest in STRF Advisors LLC is classified as in redeemable non-controlling interests in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , net losses allocated to this redeemable non-controlling interest were less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million , respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, net losses allocated to this redeemable non-controlling interest were $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance of the redeemable non-controlling interest in STRF Advisors LLC was $(0.7) million . |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this Form 10-Q or would be required to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, except as disclosed below. On July 29, 2019, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MDLY Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Sierra, and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the Company will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub (the "MDLY Merger"), with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the MDLY Merger. In the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the MDLY Merger (the "MDLY Merger Effective Time"), other than shares of MDLY Class A common stock held by the Company, Sierra or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Excluded MDLY Shares”) and the Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement), held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger Effective Time, by any person other than a Unitholder (as defined below), will be exchanged for (i) 0.2668 shares of Sierra’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.96 per share. In addition, in the MDLY Merger, each share of MDLY Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the MDLY Merger Effective Time, other than the Excluded MDLY Shares and the Dissenting Shares, held, immediately prior to the MDLY Merger Effective Time, by holders of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Medley LLC (the “Medley LLC Units” and, holders of the Medley LLC Units at any time on or after July 29, 2019, the “Unitholders”) will be exchanged for (i) 0.2072 shares of Sierra’s common stock; plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to $2.66 per share. In addition, on July 29, 2019, MCC and Sierra announced the execution of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Amended MCC Merger Agreement”), by and between MCC and Sierra, pursuant to which MCC will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, merge with and into Sierra (the "MCC Merger"), with Sierra as the surviving company in the MCC Merger. In the MCC Merger, each share of MCC’s common stock (other than shares of MCC’s common stock held by MCC, Sierra or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, will be exchanged for the right to receive (i) 0.68 shares of Sierra’s common stock if the attorneys’ fees of plaintiffs’ counsel and litigation expenses paid or incurred by plaintiffs’ counsel or advanced by plaintiffs in connection with the Class Action (such fees and expenses, the “Plaintiff Attorney Fees”) are less than or equal to $10,000,000 , (ii) 0.66 shares of Sierra’s common stock if the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are equal to or greater than $15,000,000 , and (iii) between 0.68 and 0.66 per share of Sierra’s common stock if the Plaintiff Attorney Fees are greater than $10,000,000 but less than $15,000,000 , calculated on a descending basis, based on straight line interpolation between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000 . Pursuant to terms of the Amended MCC Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MCC Merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to closing under the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement and the consummation of the MDLY Merger. However, pursuant to the terms of the Amended MDLY Merger Agreement, the consummation of the MDLY Merger is not contingent upon the consummation of the MCC Merger. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, Sierra’s common stock would be listed on the NYSE, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the Mergers, and Sierra’s common stock will be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, with such listing expected to be effective as of the closing date of the MCC Merger. If, however, only the MDLY Merger is consummated, Sierra’s common stock would be listed on the NYSE. If both Mergers are successfully consummated, the investment portfolios of MCC and Sierra would be combined, Merger Sub, as a successor to MDLY, would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Combined Company, and the Combined Company would be internally managed by MCC Advisors LLC, its wholly controlled adviser subsidiary. If only the MDLY Merger is consummated, while the investment portfolios of MCC and Sierra would not be combined, the investment management function relating to the operation of the Company, as the surviving company, would still be internalized. |

The current period's results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for any future interim period or the full year ending December 31, 2019. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation , the Company consolidates those entities where it has a direct and indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. As such, the Company consolidates entities that the Company concludes are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and entities in which it holds a majority voting interest or has majority ownership and control over the operational, financial and investing decisions of that entity. For legal entities evaluated for consolidation, the Company must determine whether the interests that it holds and fees paid to it qualify as a variable interest in an entity. This includes an evaluation of the management fee and performance fee paid to the Company when acting as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If fees received by the Company are customary and commensurate with the level of services provided, and the Company does not hold other economic interests in the entity that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity, the interest that the Company holds would not be considered a variable interest. The Company factors in all economic interests including proportionate interests through related parties, to determine if fees are considered a variable interest. An entity in which the Company holds a variable interest is a VIE if any one of the following conditions exist: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) the holders of the equity investment at risk have the right to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the legal entity’s economic performance, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are disproportionate to their obligation to absorb losses or rights to receive returns from a legal entity. For limited partnerships and other similar entities, non-controlling investors must have substantive rights to either dissolve the fund or remove the general partner (“kick-out rights”) in order to not qualify as a VIE. For those entities that qualify as a VIE, the primary beneficiary is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The Company is generally deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes initially involved with the VIE and reconsiders that conclusion continuously. The primary beneficiary evaluation is generally performed qualitatively on the basis of all facts and circumstances. However, quantitative information may also be considered in the analysis, as appropriate. These assessments require judgment. Each entity is assessed for consolidation on a case-by-case basis. For those entities evaluated under the voting interest model, the Company consolidates the entity if it has a controlling financial interest. The Company has a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity (“VOE”) if it owns a majority voting interest in the entity. |
Consolidated and Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities | Consolidated Variable Interest Entities Medley Management Inc. is the sole managing member of Medley LLC and, as such, it operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Medley LLC and, through Medley LLC, conducts its business. Under ASC 810, Medley LLC meets the definition of a VIE because the equity of Medley LLC is not sufficient to permit business activities without additional subordinated financial support. Medley Management Inc. has the obligation to absorb expected losses that could be significant to Medley LLC and holds 100% of the voting power, therefore Medley Management Inc. is considered to be the primary beneficiary of Medley LLC. As a result, Medley Management Inc. consolidates the financial results of Medley LLC and its subsidiaries and records a non-controlling interest for the economic interest in Medley LLC held by the non-managing members. As of June 30, 2019 , Medley Management Inc.’s and the non-managing members’ economic interests in Medley LLC were 18.4% and 81.6% , respectively, and as of December 31, 2018, were 18.9% and 81.1% , respectively. Net (loss) income attributable to the non-controlling interests in Medley LLC on the consolidated statements of operations represents the portion of earnings or losses attributable to the economic interest in Medley LLC held by its non-managing members. Non-controlling interests in Medley LLC on the consolidated balance sheets represents the portion of net assets of Medley LLC attributable to the non-managing members based on total LLC Units and participating restricted LLC Units of Medley LLC owned by such non-managing members. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Medley LLC had three majority owned subsidiaries, Medley Seed Funding I LLC, Medley Seed Funding II LLC and STRF Advisors LLC, which are consolidated VIEs. Each of these entities was organized as a limited liability company and was legally formed to either manage a designated fund or to strategically invest capital as well as isolate business risk. As of June 30, 2019 , total assets and total liabilities, after eliminating entries, of these VIEs reflected in the consolidated balance sheets were $18.3 million and less than $0.1 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2018 , total assets and total liabilities, after eliminating entries, of these VIEs reflected in the consolidated balance sheets were $22.2 million and less than $0.1 million , respectively. Except to the extent of the assets of these VIEs that are consolidated, the holders of the consolidated VIEs’ liabilities generally do not have recourse to the Company. Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities The Company holds interests in certain VIEs that are not consolidated because the Company is not deemed the primary beneficiary. The Company's interest in these entities is in the form of insignificant equity interests and fee arrangements. The maximum exposure to loss represents the potential loss of assets by the Company relating to these non-consolidated entities. |
Seed Investments | Seed Investments The Company accounts for seed investments through the application of the voting interest model under ASC 810-10-25-1 through 25-14 and consolidates a seed investment when the investment advisor holds a controlling interest, which is, in general, 50% or more of the equity in such investment. For seed investments in which the Company does not hold a controlling interest, the Company accounts for such seed investment under the equity method of accounting, at its ownership percentage of such seed investment’s net asset value. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions and estimates also require management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the carrying value of investments, performance compensation payable and certain accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material. |
Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests | Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries Non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries represent the component of equity in such consolidated entities held by third-parties and certain employees. These interests are adjusted for contributions to and distributions from Medley entities and are allocated income or loss from Medley entities based on their ownership percentages. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests Redeemable non-controlling interests represents interests of certain third parties that are not mandatorily redeemable but redeemable for cash or other assets at a fixed or determinable price or a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company. These interests are classified in the mezzanine section on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include liquid investments in money market funds and demand deposits. The Company had cash balances with financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company monitors the credit standing of these financial institutions and has not experienced, and has no expectations of experiencing, any losses with respect to such balances. |
Investments | Investments Investments include equity method investments that are not consolidated but over which the Company exerts significant influence. The Company measures the carrying value of its privately-held equity method investments by recording its share of the earnings or losses of its investee in the periods for which they are reported by the investee in the investee's financial statements rather than in the period in which an investee declares a dividend or distribution. For the Company's public non-traded equity method investment, it measures the carrying value of such investment at Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in fair value of the equity method investments is reflected as a component of investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations along with the income and expense allocations from such investments. The carrying amounts of equity method investments are reflected in Investments, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. As the underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in are, for U.S. GAAP purposes, primarily investment companies which reflect their investments at estimated fair value, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments in such entities approximates fair value. The Company evaluates its equity-method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. For presentation in its consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company treats distributions received from certain equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. Under the cumulative earnings approach, an investor would compare the distributions received to its cumulative equity-method earnings since inception. Any distributions received up to the amount of cumulative equity earnings would be considered a return on investment and classified in operating activities. Any excess distributions would be considered a return of investment and classified in investing activities. Investments also include publicly traded common stock. The Company measures the fair value of its publicly traded common stock at the quoted market price on the primary market or exchange on which the underlying shares trade. Any realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in fair value are recorded in other income (expense), net. |
Revenues | Revenues Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers . The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle of depicting the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. To achieve this, the Company applies a five step approach: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations within the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. Carried interest are performance based fees that represent a capital allocation of income to the general partner or investment manager. Such fees represent a capital allocation to the general partner or investment manager and are accounted for under ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. As such, these types of performance fees are not in the scope of ASC 606. As a result of the adoption of this new revenue guidance, the Company recorded a cumulative effect decrease to equity of $3.6 million , net of benefit from income taxes of $0.1 million , as of January 1, 2018, which relates to (1) certain performance fee revenue that would not have met the “probable that significant reversal will not occur” criteria of $3.0 million and (2) the reversal of reimbursable fund formation costs which were deferred on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet of $0.7 million . Management Fees Medley provides investment management services to both public and private investment vehicles. Management fees include base management fees, other management fees, and Part I incentive fees, as described below. Base management fees are calculated based on either (i) the average or ending gross assets balance for the relevant period, (ii) limited partners’ capital commitments to the funds, (iii) invested capital, (iv) NAV or (v) lower of cost or market value of a fund’s portfolio investments. Depending upon the contracted terms of the investment management agreement, management fees are paid either quarterly in advance or quarterly in arrears, and are recognized as earned over the period the services are provided. Certain management agreements provide for Medley to receive other management fee revenue derived from up front origination fees paid by the funds' and/or separately managed accounts' underlying portfolio companies. These fees are recognized when the Company becomes entitled to such fees. Certain management agreements also provide for Medley to receive Part I incentive fee revenue derived from net investment income (excluding gains and losses) above a hurdle rate. As it relates to MCC, these fees are subject to netting against realized and unrealized losses. Part I incentive fees are paid quarterly and are recognized as earned in the period the services are provided. Performance Fees Performance fees are contractual fees which do not represent a capital allocation of income to the general partner or investment manager that are earned based on the performance of certain funds, typically, the Company’s separately managed accounts. Performance fees are earned based on the fund performance during the period, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels in accordance with the respective terms set out in each fund’s investment management agreement. Other Revenues and Fees Medley provides administrative services to certain affiliated funds and is reimbursed for direct and allocated expenses incurred in providing such administrative services, as set forth in the respective underlying agreements. These fees are recognized as revenue in the period administrative services are rendered. Medley also acts as the administrative agent on certain deals for which Medley may earn loan administration fees and transaction fees. Medley may also earn consulting fees for providing non-advisory services related to its managed funds. These fees are recognized as revenue over the period to which the fees directly relate. Investment Income (loss) - Carried Interest Carried interest are performance based fees that represent a capital allocation of income to the general partner or investment manager. Carried interest are allocated to the Company based on cumulative fund performance to date, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels in accordance with the respective terms set out in each fund’s governing documents and are accounted for under the equity method of accounting . Accordingly, these performance fees are reflected as carried interest within investment income on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and balances due for such fees are included as a part of equity method investments within Investments, at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company records carried interest based upon an assumed liquidation of that fund's net assets as of the reporting date, regardless of whether such amounts have been realized. For any given period, carried interest on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations may include reversals of previously recognized carried interest due to a decrease in the value of a particular fund that results in a decrease of cumulative fees earned to date. Since fund return hurdles are cumulative, previously recognized carried interest also may be reversed in a period of appreciation that is lower than the particular fund's hurdle rate. Carried interest received in prior peri ods may be required to be returned by the Company in future periods if the funds’ investment performance declines below certain levels. Each fund is considered separately in this regard and, for a given fund, carried interest can never be negative over the life of a fund. If upon a hypothetical liquidation of a fund’s investments, at their then current fair values, previously recognized and distributed carried interest would be required to be returned, a liability is established for the potential clawback obligation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company received a carried interest distribution of $0.3 million from one of its managed funds with no clawback liability established. Prior to the distribution received during the three months ended June 30, 2019 , the C ompany had not received any carried interest distributions, except for tax distributions related to the Company’s allocation of net income, which included an allocation of carried interest. Pursuant to the organizational documents of each respective fund, a portion of these tax distributions may be subject to clawback. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued $7.2 million for clawback obligations that would need to be paid if the funds were liquidated at fair value as of the end of the reporting period. The Company’s actual obligation, however, would not become payable or realized until the end of a fund’s life. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company's reversal of previously recognized carried interest was less than $0.1 million . Investment Income (loss) - Other Other investment income is comprised of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in fair value of the Company's equity method investments in addition to the income and expense allocations from such investments. |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense relating to equity based awards are measured at fair value as of the grant date, reduced for actual forfeitures in the period they occur, and expensed over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis as a component of compensation and benefits on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company also recognizes a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions and other tax matters as a component of its provision for income taxes. For interim periods, the Company accounts for income taxes based on its estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in its estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period in which they occur. Medley Management Inc. is subject to U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes on its allocable portion of the income of Medley LLC at prevailing corporate tax rates. Medley LLC and its subsidiaries are not subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes since all income, gains and losses are passed through to its members. However, a portion of taxable income from Medley LLC and its subsidiaries are subject to New York City’s unincorporated business tax, which is included in the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in all of the U.S. federal, state and local tax jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. If, based on this analysis, the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established. |
Class A Earnings per Share | Class A Earnings per Share The Company computes and presents earnings per share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, the Company allocates earnings between common stock and participating securities. The two-class method includes an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared and undistributed earnings for the period. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the Company reduces its reported net earnings by the amount allocated to participating securities to arrive at the earnings allocated to Class A common stockholders. Earnings are then divided by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding to arrive at basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic earnings per share that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in our earnings. Participating securities consist of the Company's unvested restricted stock units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in its basic and diluted calculations. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and Not Yet Adopted | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted as of January 1, 2019 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) to increase the transparency and comparability among organizations as it relates to lease assets and lease liabilities, by requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months, with exceptions. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this guidance using a modified retrospective approach, which was required for all leases that exist at or commence after the date of the initial application with an option to use certain practical expedients. The Company has elected to use these practical expedients, which allow the Company to treat lease and non-lease components of its leases as a single component, have the ability to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment of right-of-use assets, not to reassess lease classification or whether an arrangement is or contains a lease and not to reassess its initial accounting for direct lease costs. The adoption of the new lease standard at January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $8.2 million and $10.2 million , respectively, consisting primarily of operating leases related to the rental of office space. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Additionally, this adoption did not impact any covenants associated with the Company's financial obligations. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework –Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty, and adding new disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The amendments in this ASU require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. It address when costs should be capitalized rather than expensed, the term to use when amortizing capitalized costs, and how to evaluate the unamortized portion of these capitalized implementation costs for impairment. This ASU also includes guidance on how to present implementation costs in the financial statements and creates additional disclosure requirements. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by these amendments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019, including interim reporting within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the transition methods and the impact the adoption of this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, revisions to authoritative guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Financial investments recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from this hierarchy: • Level I – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. • Level II – Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level I, which are either directly or indirectly observable at the measurement date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third parties for privately held assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly into valuation models to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or liabilities. • Level III – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and are based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets and liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the Market or Income Approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and EBITDA multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level III information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence. |
