Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Description of the Business | Organization and Description of the Business BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. (“BrightSphere”, “BSIG” or the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is a global asset management company with interests in a diverse group of investment management firms (the “Affiliates”) individually headquartered in the United States. The Company provides investment management services globally to predominantly institutional investors, in asset classes that include U.S. and global equities, fixed income, alternative assets, forestry and secondary strategies focused in real estate and private equity. Fees for services are largely asset-based and, as a result, the Company’s revenue fluctuates based on the performance of financial markets and investors’ asset flows in and out of the Company’s products. The Company’s Affiliates are organized as limited liability companies. The Company generally utilizes a profit-sharing model in structuring its compensation and ownership arrangements with its Affiliates. The Affiliates’ variable compensation is generally based on each firm’s profitability. BSIG and Affiliate key employees share in profits after variable compensation according to their respective ownership interests. The profit-sharing model results in the alignment of BSIG and Affiliate key employee economic interests, which is critical to the Company’s talent management strategy and long-term growth of the business. The Company conducts its operations through the following three reportable segments: • Quant & Solutions —comprised of versatile, often highly-tailored strategies that leverage data and technology in a computational, factor based investment process across a range of asset classes and geographies, including Global, non-U.S., emerging markets and managed volatility equities, as well as multi-asset products. • Alternatives —comprised of illiquid and differentiated liquid investment strategies that include private equity, real estate and real assets, including forestry, as well as a growing suite of liquid alternative capabilities in areas such as long/short, market neutral and absolute return. • Liquid Alpha (1) —comprised of specialized investment strategies with a focus on alpha-generation across market cycles in long-only small-, mid-, and large-cap U.S. and non-U.S. equities, as well as fixed income. (1) In July 2020, the Company completed the sale of Copper Rock Capital Partners LLC (“Copper Rock”) and in November 2020, the Company completed the sale of Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (“Barrow Hanley”). See Note 3, Divestitures, for further discussion. Prior to 2014, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Mutual plc (“OM plc”), an international long-term savings, protection and investment group, listed on the London Stock Exchange. On October 15, 2014, the Company completed the initial public offering (the “Offering”) by OM plc pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Additionally, between the Offering and February 25, 2019, the Company, OM plc and/or HNA Capital U.S. (“HNA”) completed a series of transactions in the Company’s shares, including a two-step transaction announced on March 25, 2017 for a sale by OM plc of a 24.95% shareholding in the Company to HNA and a two-step transaction announced on November 19, 2018 for a sale of the substantial majority of the ordinary shares held by HNA of the Company to Paulson & Co. (“Paulson”). On February 25, 2019, this transaction was completed and Paulson held approximately 21.7% of the ordinary shares of the Company. The remaining shares held by HNA were bought back by the Company in the first quarter of 2019. On July 12, 2019, the BrightSphere corporate group, which consisted of BrightSphere Investment Group plc, a public company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and its operating subsidiaries (such operating subsidiaries and the holding company collectively, the “BrightSphere Group”), completed a redomestication, resulting in BrightSphere Investment Group Inc., a Delaware corporation, becoming the publicly traded parent company of BrightSphere Group (the “Redomestication”). The scheme of arrangement pursuant to which the Redomestication was effected was approved by the Company’s shareholders and the High Court of Justice of England and Wales. Effective as of the close of business on July 12, 2019, all issued ordinary shares of BrightSphere Investment Group plc were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. As a result, all outstanding shareholders of BrightSphere Investment Group plc became common stockholders of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. The common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. began trading on July 15, 2019, and the Company’s trading symbol on the NYSE remained unchanged as “BSIG.” Ownership percentage following the transactions for: Date Transaction description Total shares OM plc HNA Paulson Note October 15, 2014 IPO of BSIG shares by OM plc 24,231,375 78.8 % — % — % (1) June 22, 2015 Secondary public offering by OM plc 15,295,000 65.8 % — % — % (2) December 16, 2016 Secondary public offering by OM plc 14,950,000 — % — % — % (3) December 16, 2016 Repurchase and retirement of shares 6,000,000 51.1 % — % — % (4) May 12, 2017 Sale of shares from OM plc to HNA 11,414,676 40.9 % 9.95 % — % (5) May 19, 2017 Secondary public offering by OM plc 19,895,000 — % — % — % (6) May 19, 2017 Repurchase and retirement of shares 5,000,000 20.1 % 10.4 % — % (4) November 10, 2017 Sale of shares from OM plc to HNA 15,960,553 5.51 % 24.95 % — % (7) November 17, 2017 Secondary public offering by OM plc 6,039,630 — % 24.95 % — % (8) November 19, 2018 Sale of shares from HNA to Paulson 4,598,566 — % 21.4 % 4.9 % (9) February 21, 2019 Repurchase and retirement of shares by BSIG 4,100,000 — % 19.4 % 5.4 % (4) February 25, 2019 Repurchase and retirement of shares by BSIG 3,886,625 — % 16.0 % 5.7 % (4) February 25, 2019 Sale of shares from HNA to Paulson 14,790,038 — % — % 21.7 % (9) (1) Includes 2,231,375 shares purchased by the underwriters of the offering under their overallotment option.

All shares repurchased by the Company were retired. (5) Following the May 12, 2017 sale of shares from OM plc to HNA, on May 24, 2017, OM plc appointed Dr. Guang Yang of HNA as an OM plc director. (6) Includes 2,595,000 shares purchased by the underwriters of the offering under their overallotment option. (7) Following the November 10, 2017 sale of shares from OM plc to HNA, HNA acquired the right to appoint two directors to the Company’s board. (8) Upon completion of the November 17, 2017 offering, OM plc indirectly owned 1,000 of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares. (9) In connection with the November 19, 2018 sale of shares from HNA to Paulson, on November 16, 2018, HNA appointed John Paulson and Dr. Guang Yang as HNA directors. The final sale of shares from HNA to Paulson was completed on February 25, 2019. On April 15, 2020, John Paulson succeeded Guang Yang as the Chairman of the Board. Share Repurchase Program On February 3, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $150 million open market share repurchase program, which was approved by shareholders on March 15, 2016. On April 18, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the existing share repurchase contract, to permit the repurchase of shares, from time to time, up to an aggregate limit of $600 million of shares. This amendment was subsequently approved by shareholders on June 19, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 6,412,663 shares at a weighted average price of $7.15 per share, or approximately $46.0 million in total, including commissions. In 2019, the Company repurchased 19,479,945 shares at a weighted average price of $12.08 per share, or approximately $235.4 million in total, including commissions. In 2018, the Company repurchased 5,549,861 shares on the open market at a weighted average price of $13.35 per share or approximately $74.2 million in total, including commissions. On April 29, 2016, at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, shareholders (excluding OM plc) authorized a form of contract by which the Company would be permitted to repurchase shares directly from OM plc. The shareholder authorization does not contain a maximum dollar or share amount for such purchases individually or in aggregate from OM plc. On December 16, 2016 in connection with the secondary offering by OM plc, the Company repurchased 6,000,000 shares directly from OM plc at a price of $14.25 per share. On May 19, 2017 in connection with the secondary offering by OM plc, the Company repurchased 5,000,000 shares directly from OM plc at a price of $14.55 per share. All shares of common stock repurchased by the Company were retired. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows: Basis of presentation These Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the historical balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and statements of cash flows of the Company. Within these Consolidated Financial Statements, OM plc, HNA, Paulson and their related entities, as defined above, are referred to as “related parties.” The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All dollar amounts, except per-share data in the text and tables herein, are stated in millions unless otherwise indicated. Transactions between the Company and its related parties are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, however material intercompany balances and transactions among the Company, its consolidated Affiliates and consolidated Funds are eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the Redomestication on July 12, 2019, discussed in Note 1, the Company revised its equity accounts to reflect a U.S. domiciled company presentation on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ equity and the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. The previously issued ordinary shares of BrightSphere Investment Group plc were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. The Redomestication and related internal reorganization was accounted for consistent with a reorganization of entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 Business Combinations . Accordingly, the transfer of the assets and liabilities and exchange of shares was recorded in the new entity (BrightSphere Investment Group Inc.) at their carrying amounts from the transferring entity (BrightSphere Investment Group plc) at the date of transfer. Revenue recognition Revenue from contracts with customers The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in accordance with the revenue recognition guidance. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s management fee revenue is calculated based upon levels of assets under management multiplied by a fee rate. Management fee revenue is typically calculated on a monthly or quarterly basis, but is earned continuously as performance obligations are fulfilled. The transaction price is variable in contracts which calculate AUM on an average basis over a specified period and this variability is resolved at the end of the period, when the actual average AUM for the contract period may be calculated. The Company is able to resolve the variability and calculate the most likely amount to be recognized for any given period by estimating revenue based upon a daily average AUM. For certain of the Company’s Alternative funds, management fee revenue is calculated based on a percentage of assets under management or total capital commitments. These Alternative funds can also include “catch-up” provisions such that the Company records revenue for payments of fund management fees back to the initial closing date for funds with multiple closings, less placement fees paid to third parties related to these funds. All of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied ratably over time and there is no distinction in the methodology used to recognize management fee revenue in instances where there is more than one performance obligation. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using a time-based output measure to measure progress. Management fees are recognized monthly as services are rendered. Affiliates that manage tangible property may also earn transaction fees at the time the underlying property is bought and sold. Any fees collected in advance are deferred and recognized as income over the period earned. Dividend income received is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Performance fees are generally assessed as a percentage of the investment performance realized on a client’s account. Additionally, separate accounts or other products which primarily earn management fees are potentially subject to performance adjustments up or down based on investment performance versus benchmark. Performance fees, including those that are subject to clawback, are recognized when they (i) become billable to customers (based on contractual terms of agreements) and (ii) are not subject to contingent repayment. The Company is required to capitalize certain costs directly related to the acquisition or fulfillment of a contract with a customer. The Company has noted no instances where sales-based compensation or similar costs met the definition of an incremental cost to acquire a contract with a customer in accordance with revenue recognition guidance. There are no instances where the Company has incurred costs to fulfill a contract with a customer, therefore no intangible assets related to contract acquisition or fulfillment have been recognized. For each one of its contracts with customers, the Company identifies one or more performance obligations within the contract and then, for each performance obligation, determines if it is a principal (where the nature of its promise is to provide a specified good or service itself) or an agent (where the nature of its promise is to arrange for a good or service to be provided by another party). In instances where a customer reimburses the Company for a cost paid on the customer’s behalf, if the Company is acting as a principal, the reimbursement is recorded on a gross basis and if the Company is acting as an agent, the reimbursement is recorded on a net basis. Certain Funds reimburse the Company’s Affiliates for certain expenses where the Affiliate is acting as a principal, primarily for compensation expense for field office personnel at several Timber Funds, where revenue is recognized from log and fiber sales upon delivery to the customer. Revenue from expense reimbursement is accrued at cost as the corresponding reimbursable expenses are incurred and is recorded in other revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue from other sources Other revenue also includes interest income on cash and cash equivalents and revenue from administration and consulting services. Compensation arrangements The Company operates short term variable compensation arrangements where generally, a percentage of each Affiliate’s annual pre-variable compensation earnings, as defined in each arrangement, is allocated to a “pool” of each respective Affiliate’s key employees and subsequently distributed to individuals subject to recommendation and approval of a remuneration committee comprised of both the Company’s and each respective Affiliate’s management. Variable compensation expense is accrued and recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as services are provided by individual employees. The Company operates longer term profit-interest plans whereby certain Affiliate key employees are granted (or have a right to purchase) awards representing a profits interest in their respective Affiliate, as distinct from an equity interest due to the lack of pari passu voting rights. Under these plans, the Company may award a portion of the aforementioned variable compensation arrangement through issuance of a profits interest in the Affiliate. The awards generally have a three In addition, under certain circumstances, Affiliate key employees are eligible to receive repurchase payments upon exiting the plans based on a multiple of the last twelve months profits of their respective Affiliate, as defined. Profits allocated and movements in the potential repurchase value, determined based on a fixed multiple times trailing twelve month profits, as defined, are recognized as compensation expense. Profit interests compensation liabilities are re-measured at each reporting date at the twelve month earnings multiple, with movements treated as compensation expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Share-based compensation plans The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments to directors, senior management and employees, including grants of restricted stock and stock options, as compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the respective vesting periods. Awards made under the Company’s equity plans are accounted for as equity settled, and the grant date fair value is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, with a corresponding contribution to additional paid-in capital. Valuation of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is determined based on the Company’s closing share price as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on the measurement date. For performance-based awards and stock options, a Monte-Carlo simulation model is used to determine the fair value. Key inputs for the model include: assumed reinvestment of dividends, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and term. All excess tax benefits and deficiencies on share-based payment awards are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the tax effects of exercised or vested awards are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur and excess tax benefits or deficiencies are classified with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The Company has compensation arrangements with certain of its Affiliates whereby in exchange for continued service, Affiliate equity is either purchased by, or granted to Affiliate key employees and may be repurchased either by Affiliate key employees or by the Company at a future date, subject to service requirements having been met. Awards of equity made to Affiliate key employees are accounted for as cash settled, with the fair value recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, with a corresponding liability carried within other compensation liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the award is settled. The fair value of the liabilities are determined with the assistance of third party valuation specialists using discounted cash flow analyses which incorporate assumptions for the forecasted earnings information, market risk adjustments, discount rates and post-vesting restrictions. The liabilities are revalued at each reporting period, with any movements recorded within compensation expense. Consolidation Affiliates The Company evaluates each of its Affiliates and other operating entities to determine the appropriate method of accounting. Generally, majority-owned entities or otherwise controlled investments in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as the principal shareholder, managing member, or general partner are consolidated. Funds In the normal course of business, the Company’s Affiliates sponsor and manage certain investment vehicles (the “Funds”). The Company assesses consolidation requirements with respect to its Funds. In evaluating whether or not a legal entity must be consolidated, the Company determines if such entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or a voting interest entity (“VOE”). A VOE is considered an entity in which (i) the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance its activities independently and (ii) the equity holders at risk have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns, and the right to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a VOE. Assessing whether an entity is a VIE or VOE involves judgment and analysis. Factors considered in this assessment include the entity’s legal organization, the entity’s capital structure and equity ownership and any related party or de-facto agent implications of the Company’s involvement with the entity. Investments that are determined to be VIEs are consolidated if the Company or a consolidated Affiliate is the primary beneficiary of the investment. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly by the Company or indirectly through related parties on a proportional basis. The primary beneficiary of the VIE is defined as the variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is defined as (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If no single party satisfies both criteria, but the Company and its related parties satisfy the criteria on a combined basis, then the primary beneficiary is the entity out of the related party group that is most closely associated to the VIE. The consolidation analysis can generally be performed qualitatively, however, if it is not readily apparent that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, a quantitative analysis may also be performed. The Company generally is not the primary beneficiary of Fund VIEs created to manage assets for clients unless the Company’s ownership interest in the fund, including interests of related parties on a proportional basis, is significant. The Company consolidates VOEs when it has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity or holds the majority voting interest. Upon the occurrence of certain events (such as contributions and redemptions, either by the Company, its Affiliates, or third parties, or amendments to the governing documents of the Company’s investees or sponsored Funds) management reviews and reconsiders its previous conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a VIE or a VOE. Additionally, management continually reconsiders whether the Company is deemed to be a VIE’s primary beneficiary who consolidates such entity. Investments and Investment Transactions Valuation of investments held at fair value Valuation of Fund investments, including Timber Funds, is evaluated pursuant to the fair value methodology discussed below. Other investments are categorized as trading and recorded at estimated fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of investments are reported within net consolidated funds’ investment gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 5 for a summary of the inputs utilized to determine the fair value of other investments held at fair value. Security transactions The Company generally records securities transactions on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are generally determined on the average-cost method (net of foreign capital gain taxes) and for certain transactions determined based on the specific identification method. Income and expense recognition The Company records interest income on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Short sales Certain Funds may sell a security they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. The short sales are secured by the long portfolio and available cash. The Fund records a gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, upon the termination of a short sale. The amount of the gain or loss will be equal to the proceeds received in entering into the short sale less the cost of buying back the short security to close the short position. While the transaction is open, the Fund will incur an expense for any accrued dividends or interest which is paid to the lender of the securities. These short sales may involve a level of risk in excess of the liability recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The extent of such risk cannot be quantified. Funds’ Derivatives Certain Funds may use derivative instruments. The Funds’ derivative instruments may include foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, financial futures contracts and warrants. The fair values of derivative instruments are recorded as other assets of consolidated Funds or other liabilities of consolidated Funds on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Funds have used foreign exchange forwards to hedge the risk of movement in exchange rates on financial assets on a limited basis. The Company’s Funds have not designated any financial instruments for hedge accounting, as defined in the accounting literature, during the periods presented. The gains or losses on Fund’s derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting are included as net consolidated Funds gains or losses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign currency translation and transactions Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. entities for which the local currency is the functional currency are translated at current exchange rates as of the end of the accounting period. The related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Net exchange gains and losses resulting from translation are excluded from income and are recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are revalued at the current exchange rate at the transaction date and any related gains and losses are recognized in earnings. Equity method investments The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments that provide the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence over an entity, but that do not meet the requirements for consolidation. Equity method investments includes an Affiliate, Investment Counselors of Maryland, LLC, as well as all unconsolidated Funds over which the Company exercises significant influence. Equity-accounted investments in consolidated Funds is comprised of investments in partnership interests where a portion of the return includes carried interest. These investments are accounted for within the scope of ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures because the Company has determined it has significant influence. The Company’s share of earnings from equity method investments is included in investment income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The carrying amounts of equity method investments are reflected in Investments and assets of consolidated Funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. The difference between the carrying value and its estimated fair value is recognized as impairment when the loss is deemed other than temporary. Fair value measurements In accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements, fair value is the price that the Company expects to be paid upon the sale of an asset or expects to pay upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. There is a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own conclusions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. Assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: • Level I—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments. • Level II—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies utilizing observable market inputs other than quoted prices. Investments which are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives. • Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and include assets and liabilities where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments that are included in this category generally include general and limited partner interests in timber funds, corporate private equity, real estate funds, and funds of hedge funds. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. In cases in which the fair value of an investment is established using the net asset value (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient, the investment is not categorized within the fair value hierarchy. Use of estimates The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The year ended December 31, 2020 was characterized by heightened uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Operating segment The Company operates in three reportable segments that provide investment management services and products primarily to institutional clients. See Note 24 for further information regarding the Company’s segments. Derivatives and Hedging The Company may utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge the risk of movement of interest rates and foreign currency on financial assets and liabilities. These derivative financial instruments may or may not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company records all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures these instruments at fair value. For a derivative financial instrument that qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and is designated as a hedging instrument, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings over the life of the hedge. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized in earnings immediately. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments, including money market mutual funds, with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value due to the short-term maturity of these investments. Restricted cash represents amounts held in escrow related to the Company's disposition of Barrow Hanley. Cash held by consolidated Funds is not available to fund general liquidity needs of the Company and is therefore also classified as restricted cash. Investment advisory fees receivable The Company earns management and performance fees which are billed monthly, quarterly and annually, according to the terms of the relevant investment management agreement. Management and performance fees that have been earned, but have not yet been collected are presented as investment advisory fees receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the short-term nature and liquidity of these receivables, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values. The Company typically does not record an allowance for doubtful accounts or bad debt expense, or any amounts recorded have been immaterial. Fixed assets Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of office equipment and furniture and fixtures range from three Intangible assets Acquired Affiliates have identifiable intangible assets arising from contractual or other legal rights with their clients. In determining the value of acquired intangibles, the Company analyzes the net present value of each acquired Affiliate’s existing client relationships based on a number of factors. The Company analyzes the Affiliate’s historical and potential future operating performance, the Affiliate’s historical and potential future rates of attrition among existing clients, the stability and longevity of existing client relationships, the Affiliate’s recent and long-term investment performance, the characteristics of the firm’s products and investment styles, the stability and depth of the Affiliate’s management team and the Affiliate’s history and perceived franchise or brand value. The Company’s acquired intangible assets are predominately definite-life intangible assets and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from five The Company tests for the possible impairment of definite-life intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If such indicators exist, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows related to the asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flows amount, an impairment charge is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for amounts necessary to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value. Indefinite-life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of the first business day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill The Company records goodwill when the consideration paid in a business acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net total of tangible assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances occur that indicate impairment may exist. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the Company’s use of the acquired assets in a business combination or the strategy for the Company’s overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. The Company performs its assessment for impairment of goodwill annually as of the first business day of the fourth quarter, or as necessary, and the Company has determined that it had five reporting units, consisting of the five consolidated Affiliates as of the annual goodwill impairment test date. The Company first considers various qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each of the reporting units is greater than its respective carrying amount, including goodwill. If based on the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is below its respective carrying amount, therefore indicating that impairment may exist, the impact would be determined at that point through a quantitative assessment. For purposes of assessing potential impairment, the fair value of the reporting unit is estimated and compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit is based on discounted estimated future cash flows. The assumptions used to estimate fair value include management’s estimates of future growth rates, operating cash flows, discount rates and terminal value. These assumptions and estimates can change in future periods based on market movement and factors impacting the expected business performance. Changes in assumptions or estimates could materially affect the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit. If it is determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount equal to that excess; not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Based on the Company’s most recent annual goodwill impairment test, the Company concluded that the fair value of each of its reporting units was more likely than not in excess of their carrying values. At the close of each year, management assessed whether there were any conditions present during the fourth quarter that would indicate impairment subsequent to the initial assessment date and concluded that no such conditions were present. Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies its long-lived assets to be sold as held for sale in the period (i) it has approved and committed to a plan to sell the asset, (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to sell the asset have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the asset is probable, (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially measures a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset until the date of sale. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company stops recording depreciation expense on the asset. The Company assesses the fair value of a long-lived asset less any costs to sell at each reporting period and until the asset is no longer classified as held for sale. Upon determining that a disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company reports the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line items assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Leases Contracts are evaluated at inception to determine whether such contract is or contains a lease. |

Investments in separate accounts of $44.3 million at December 31, 2019, consist of approximately 3% of cash equivalents and 97% of equity securities. The Company values these using the published price of the underlying securities (classified as Level I) or quoted price supported by observable inputs as of the measurement date (classified as Level II). (2) Investments related to long-term incentive compensation plans of $73.0 million and $88.8 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are investments in publicly registered daily redeemable funds (some managed by Affiliates), which the Company has classified as trading securities and valued using the published price as of the measurement dates. Accordingly, the Company has classified these investments as Level I. (3) The uncategorized amounts of $16.2 million and $48.2 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, relate to investments in unconsolidated Funds which consist primarily of investments in Funds advised by Affiliates and are valued using NAV which the Company relies on to determine their fair value as a practical expedient and has therefore not classified these investments in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These unconsolidated Funds consist primarily of real estate investments Funds, UCITS and other investment vehicles. The NAVs that have been provided by investees have been derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the measurement dates. UCITS and other investment vehicles are not subject to redemption restrictions. The real estate investment Funds of $6.2 million and $6.4 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are subject to longer than monthly or quarterly redemption restrictions, and due to their nature, distributions are received only as cash flows are generated from underlying assets over the life of the Funds. The range of time over which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by the investees is approximately one Investments in unconsolidated Funds categorized as Level III of $2.6 million and $3.0 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to investments in Forestry Funds advised by Affiliates and are valued by the general partner of those Funds. Determination of estimated fair value involves subjective judgment because the actual fair value can be determined only through negotiation between parties in a sale transaction and amounts ultimately realized may vary significantly from the fair value presented. (4) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are comprised of financial investments managed by the Company’s Affiliates. Equity securities, including common and preferred stock, short-term investment funds, other investments and derivatives which are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified as Level I. The securities that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs obtained by the Company from independent pricing services are classified as Level II. The Company obtains prices from independent pricing services that may utilize broker quotes, but generally the independent pricing services will use various other pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data. The Company has not made adjustments to the prices provided. Assets of consolidated Funds also include investments in bank loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market participant quotations are readily available are valued at the average mid-point of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third-party pricing service. These assets are classified as Level II. If the pricing services are only able to (a) obtain a single broker quote or (b) utilize a pricing model, such securities are classified as Level III. If the pricing services are unable to provide prices, the Company attempts to obtain one or more broker quotes directly from a dealer or values such securities at the last bid price obtained. In either case, such securities are classified as Level III. The Company performs due diligence procedures over third party pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process to ensure compliance with required accounting disclosures. The following table reconciles the opening balances of Level III financial assets to closing balances at December 31 (in millions): Investments in unconsolidated Funds 2020 2019 Level III financial assets At beginning of the period $ 3.0 $ 3.0 Additions (redemptions) (0.3) — Total net fair value losses recognized in net income (0.1) — Total Level III financial assets $ 2.6 $ 3.0 There were no significant transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Levels II or III during the year ended December 31, 2020. |

Variable Interest Entities | |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities The Company, through its Affiliates, sponsors the formation of various entities considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These VIEs are primarily Funds managed by Affiliates and other partnership interests typically owned entirely by third-party investors. Certain Funds may be capitalized with seed capital investments from the Company and may be owned partially by Affiliate key employees and/or individuals that own minority interests in an Affiliate. The Company’s determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a Fund that is a VIE is based in part on an assessment of whether or not the Company and its related parties are exposed to absorb more than an insignificant amount of the risks and rewards of the entity. Typically the Fund’s investors are entitled to substantially all of the economics of these VIEs with the exception of the management fees and performance fees, if any, earned by the Company or any investment the Company has made into the Funds. The Company generally is not the primary beneficiary of Fund VIEs created to manage assets for clients unless the Company’s ownership interest, including interests of related parties, is substantial. The following table presents the assets and liabilities of Funds that are VIEs and consolidated by the Company (in millions): 2020 2019 Assets Investments at fair value $ — $ 119.5 Other assets of consolidated Funds 114.3 85.7 Total Assets $ 114.3 $ 205.2 Liabilities Liabilities of consolidated Funds $ — $ 6.2 Total Liabilities $ — $ 6.2 “Investments at fair value” consist of investments in bank loans, common and preferred stock, and other securities. To the extent the Company also has consolidated Funds that are not VIEs, the assets and liabilities of those Funds are not included in the table above. “Other assets of consolidated Funds” consist of assets of consolidated Funds, which is comprised of investments in partnership interests where a portion of return includes carried interest that are accounted for within the scope of ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures because the Company has determined it has significant influence. The assets of consolidated VIEs presented in the table above belong to the investors in those Funds, are available for use only by the Fund to which they belong, and are not available for use by the Company to the extent they are held by non-controlling interests. Any debt or liabilities held by consolidated Funds have no recourse to the Company's general credit. The Company’s involvement with Funds that are VIEs and not consolidated by the Company is generally limited to that of an investment manager and its investment in the unconsolidated VIE, if any. The Company’s investment in any unconsolidated VIE generally represents an insignificant interest of the Fund’s net assets and assets under management, such that the majority of the VIE’s results are attributable to third parties. The Company’s exposure to risk in these entities is generally limited to any capital contribution it has made or is required to make and any earned but uncollected management fees. The Company has not issued any investment performance guarantees to these VIEs or their investors. The following information pertains to unconsolidated VIEs for which the Company holds a variable interest at December 31 (in millions): 2020 2019 Unconsolidated VIE assets $ 6,437.1 $ 6,625.5 Unconsolidated VIE liabilities $ 4,332.1 $ 4,320.6 Equity interests on the Consolidated Balance Sheets $ 14.3 $ 17.5 Maximum risk of loss (1) $ 19.3 $ 23.9 (1) Includes equity investments the Company has made or is required to make and any earned but uncollected management and incentive fees.

See Note 3, Divestitures, for additional information. The 2019 annual impairment assessment determined that no impairment existed at the annual assessment date. Due to the decline in the Company’s assets under management for the three months ended March 31, 2020, management determined that an interim impairment assessment was necessary as of March 31, 2020 with respect to the Copper Rock reporting unit. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test for the Copper Rock reporting unit which was included within the Liquid Alpha segment prior to its disposition in July 2020. The quantitative impairment test concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value. Accordingly, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $16.4 million for the year end December 31, 2020. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using the income approach, which calculates the fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of Assets Under Management (“AUM”) growth rates, product mix and effective fee rates, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rates used are based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics. The Company’s quantitative impairment analysis at March 31, 2020 incorporated revised forecasts that took into account the market disruptions during the quarter and its impact on the results in future periods. Given the significant level of uncertainty that currently exists, management also considered alternative scenarios for market and reporting unit performance over the next several years. If the Company’s AUM are further impacted by the global economic conditions caused by COVID-19, such as adverse and significant declines in the value of global financial markets, additional impairments of goodwill or intangible assets are possible in future periods. The following table presents the change in definite-lived acquired intangible assets in 2020 and 2019, comprised of client relationships (in millions): Gross Accumulated Net Book December 31, 2018 $ 108.3 $ (37.6) $ 70.7 Additions — — — Amortization — (6.6) (6.6) Disposals — — — December 31, 2019 $ 108.3 $ (44.2) $ 64.1 Additions — — — Amortization — (6.7) (6.7) Disposals (1) (22.7) 22.7 — December 31, 2020 $ 85.6 $ (28.2) $ 57.4 (1) In connection with the divestitures of Copper Rock in July 2020 and Barrow Hanley in November 2020, the Company disposed fully amortized intangible assets of $2.3 million and $20.4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 3, Divestitures. The Company’s definite-lived acquired intangibles are amortized over their expected useful lives. As of December 31, 2020, these assets were being amortized over remaining useful lives of three The Company also acquired a $1.0 million indefinite-lived intangible trade name in the acquisition of Landmark, included in acquired intangibles, net, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The 2019 annual impairment assessment of definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets determined that no impairment existed. Due to the decline in the Company’s AUM in the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company assessed definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it was more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset was not impaired. For definite-lived intangible assets, no events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. As such, no impairment charges were determined for the definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company estimates that its consolidated annual amortization expense, assuming no useful life changes or additional investments in new or existing Affiliates, for each of the next five fiscal years is as follows (in millions): 2021 $ 6.4 2022 6.4 2023 6.4 2024 6.4 2025 6.4 Thereafter 25.4 Total $ 57.4 |

These transactions are comprised of fees for advisory services and investments in unconsolidated funds. Other related party arrangements During 2016, the Company and OM plc agreed to amend the Deferred Tax Asset Deed (the “DTA Deed”). Under the terms of the DTA Deed, as amended, the Company agreed to make a payment of the net present value of the future tax benefits due to OM plc valued as of December 31, 2016. This payment, originally valued at $142.6 million, was to be made over three installments, on June 30, 2017, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018. The initial payment of $45.5 million was paid to OM plc on June 30, 2017. The reduction of the corporate tax rate and other provisions of the Tax Act resulted in a decrease to the value of the DTA Deed of approximately $51.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. In 2018, the Company agreed to terminate the DTA Deed with OM plc. The Company recorded a revaluation gain of $20.0 million in connection with the settlement of the DTA Deed for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the first quarter of 2019, the final cash payment of $32.7 million was made to OM plc to settle the outstanding liability under the DTA Deed. During 2014, the Company entered into a Seed Capital Management Agreement and a Co-Investment Deed with OM plc and/or OM plc’s subsidiaries. During 2016, the Company and OM plc agreed to amend the Seed Capital Management Agreement. As a result of the amendment, the Company purchased approximately $39.6 million of seed investments from OM plc in September 2016. The Company purchased the remaining seed capital investments covered by the Seed Capital Management Agreement valued at $63.4 million in July 2017, financed in part by borrowings under a non-recourse loan facility (see Note 14) and two promissory notes paid in the first quarter of 2018 in the amount of $4.5 million. Amounts owed to OM plc associated with the Co-investment Deed were $3.4 million at December 31, 2020 and $3.7 million at December 31, 2019, net of tax. The Company uses the equity-method to account for its interests in Affiliates where it exercises significant influence over their operations, but does not hold a controlling interest. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded earnings in respect of this investee of $2.9 million, $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The Company also exercises significant influence over unconsolidated Funds; however in order to report in a manner consistent with consolidated Funds, it has elected to apply the fair value option for its investments therein. Additional information with respect to equity-accounted investees is disclosed in Note 7. Certain Affiliates have provided loans to Affiliate employees. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the balance of these loans to Affiliate employees was $8.4 million and $16.1 million, respectively. As the Company is a member of a group of related businesses, it is possible that the terms of certain related party transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions with wholly unrelated parties. |

(2) An amendment to the $450 million revolving credit facility was made on November 17, 2020 to reduce the revolving credit facility to $150 million upon consummation of the sale of the Company's equity interests in Barrow Hanley. (3) The difference between the principal amounts and the carrying values of the senior notes in the table above reflects the unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts. (4) Non-recourse seed capital facility that was set to expire on January 15, 2021 was paid down in the third quarter and terminated. Revolving credit facility On September 3, 2020, the Company, Royal Bank of Canada, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., Bank of China, New York Branch, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Barclays Bank PLC, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Bank of America N.A., the Bank of New York Mellon and Citibank, N.A., as an issuing bank and administrative agent (collectively, the “Lenders”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment") to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 20, 2019 (the “Original Credit Agreement”, and as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amendment included changes to the Original Credit Agreement to permit the sale of the Company's equity interests in Barrow Hanley (the “Barrow Hanley Sale”). Under the Original Credit Agreement, the Barrow Hanley Sale required consent of the Lenders given that Barrow Hanley accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. The Amendment provided that, effective immediately upon the consummation of the Barrow Hanley Sale, the Lenders commitments under the Credit Agreement would be $150 million. The Barrow Hanley Sale was consummated on November 17, 2020 and the Lenders’ commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement were reduced to $150 million from thereon. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bore interest, at the Company’s option, at either the per annum rate equal to (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% and (iii) the one month Adjusted London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.0%, plus, in each case an additional amount based on its credit rating or (b) the LIBOR for a period, at the Company’s election, equal to one, two, three or six months plus an additional amount ranging from 1.125% to 2.00%, with such additional amount based on its credit rating. In addition, the Company was charged a commitment fee based on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility at a per annum rate ranging from 0.125% to 0.45%, with such amount based on the Company’s credit rating. Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s have each assigned an investment-grade rating to the Company’s senior, unsecured long-term indebtedness. As a result of the assignment of the credit ratings, the Company’s interest rate on outstanding borrowings was set at LIBOR + 1.50% and the commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility was set at 0.20%. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the ratio of third-party borrowings to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the Amended Credit Agreement cannot exceed 3.0x, and the interest coverage ratio must not be less than 4.0x. At December 31, 2020, the Company is in compliance with these debt covenants. Senior Notes In July 2016, the Company issued $275.0 million of 4.80% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $125.0 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”). The Company used the net proceeds of these offerings to finance the acquisition of Landmark in August 2016, settle an outstanding interest rate lock, purchase seed capital from OM plc and pay down the balance of the Company’s previous revolving credit facility. 4.80% Senior Notes Due July 2026 The $275.0 million 2026 Notes were sold at a discount of $(0.5) million and the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $(3.0) million, which are being amortized to interest expense over the ten-year term. The 2026 Notes can be redeemed at any time prior to the scheduled maturity in part or in aggregate, at the greater of the 100% principal amount at that time or the sum of the remaining scheduled payments discounted at the treasury rate (as defined) plus 0.5%, together with any related accrued and unpaid interest. 5.125% Senior Notes Due August 2031 The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $(4.3) million in connection with the issuance of the $125.0 million 2031 Notes, which are being amortized to interest expense over the fifteen-year term. The 2031 Notes can be redeemed at any time, on or after August 1, 2019 at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount together with any related accrued and unpaid interest. The fair value of the senior notes was determined using broker quotes and any recent trading activity for each of the notes listed above, which are considered Level II inputs. Non-recourse seed capital facility In July 2017, the Company purchased all remaining seed capital investments covered by the Seed Capital Management Agreement from OM plc for $63.4 million. The Company financed this purchase in part through borrowings under a non-recourse seed capital facility collateralized by its seed capital holdings. The Company entered into this facility as of July 17, 2017, and could borrow up to $65.0 million, so long as the borrowing did not represent more than 50% of the value of the permitted seed capital collateral. The non-recourse seed facility bears interest at LIBOR +1.55% with a commitment fee on the unused portion of this facility of 0.95%. The non-recourse seed capital facility set to expire on January 15, 2021 was paid down in the third quarter and terminated. Per the terms of the Company’s Credit Facility, drawdowns under this facility are excluded from the Company’s third party debt levels for purposes of calculating the Company’s credit ratio covenants. Interest expense Interest expense incurred amounted to $28.5 million, $32.2 million and $24.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively. Interest expense consists of interest accrued on the long-term debt and credit facilities, commitment fees and amortization of debt-related costs. The weighted average interest rate on all debt obligations, excluding consolidated Funds, was 5.08%, 5.28% and 6.08% in each of 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate maturities of debt commitments, based on their contractual terms, are as follows: Future minimum 2021 $ — 2022 — 2023 — 2024 — 2025 — Thereafter 400.0 Total $ 400.0 The Company was in compliance with the required covenants related to borrowings and debt facilities as of December 31, 2020. Subsequent Event On February 23, 2021, the Company, along with the Lenders, entered into an assignment and assumption and amendment agreement (the “Assignment”) to the Amended Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Assignment, the Amended Credit Agreement was assigned to and assumed by Acadian and the Amended Credit Agreement was amended (the Amended Credit Agreement, as amended by the Assignment, the “Acadian Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, reduce the Lenders’ commitments thereunder to $125 million. The Acadian Credit Agreement has a maturity date of August 22, 2022. Borrowings under the Acadian Credit Agreement bear interest, at Acadian’s option, at either the per annum rate equal to (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% and (iii) the one month Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus 1.0%, plus, in each case an additional amount based on its credit rating or (b) the London interbank offered rate for a period, at our, equal to one, three or six months plus an additional amount ranging from 1.5% to 2.0%, with such additional amount based on Acadian’s Leverage Ratio (as defined below). In addition, Acadian is charged a commitment fee based on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility under the Acadian Credit Agreement at a per annum rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.375%, with such amount based on Acadian’s Leverage Ratio. Under the Acadian Credit Agreement, the ratio of Acadian’s third-party borrowings to Acadian’s trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Acadian Credit Agreement (the “Leverage Ratio”), cannot exceed 2.5x. |

The provision for income taxes in 2020, 2019 and 2018 included benefits of $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. The reconciliation of the difference between the Company’s U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the years ended December 31 is as follows: 2020 2019 2018 Tax at U.S. federal statutory income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State income taxes, net of federal benefit 6.0 % 5.5 % 8.1 % Non-deductible expenses 0.2 % 0.5 % 0.3 % DTA Deed liability revaluation adjustment — % — % 1.2 % Adjustment to liabilities for uncertain tax positions (2.0) % (15.8) % (32.5) % Change in valuation allowance — % — % (6.3) % Write-off of state net operating loss carryforwards — % — % 6.3 % Effect of foreign operations 0.2 % 0.3 % 2.7 % Effect of changes in tax law — % (0.4) % (1.4) % Effect of disposal of Affiliates 2.9 % — % 2.9 % Effect of income from non-controlling interest (1.4) % (1.3) % 0.9 % Impact of increased state tax obligations to deferred tax assets (0.3) % (1.4) % — % Impact of Redomestication to deferred tax assets — % (0.9) % — % Other (0.4) % (0.4) % 0.5 % Effective income tax rate for continuing operations 26.2 % 7.1 % 3.7 % The Company’s effective income tax rate is higher than the US federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to its state tax obligations, non-deductible tax items and the effects of foreign operations. In connection with the sale of its Affiliates in 2020, the Company recorded tax expense of $77.6 million, including tax impacts of non-deductible tax items. The Company reduced its liability for uncertain tax positions by $9.1 million, $40.8 million and $47.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, due to the lapse of statute of limitations. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) contains numerous income tax provisions including some that are effective retroactively. Our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect the benefit of a provision that increased the business interest limitation under IRC Section 163(j) from 30% to 50% for tax years 2019 and 2020. This provision allowed the Company to utilize more of the deferred tax asset related to interest expense. In connection with the Redomestication in 2019, the Company revalued certain deferred tax assets that were transferred to the U.S. parent from the former U.K. parent. These deferred tax assets are now measured using applicable U.S. and state income tax rates. The Company’s state tax filing obligations have increased in the normal course of business and in connection with states tax law changes regarding apportionment of income. These changes have resulted in an increase to the state income tax rate and accordingly to the state deferred tax assets. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted and became effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act enacted various measures of domestic and international corporate tax reform that were impactful to the Company including reduction of the federal statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, new limitations on executive compensation and the deductibility of interest expense, a one-time tax on mandatory deemed repatriation of non-U.S. earnings, and new taxes assessed on foreign earnings. In accordance with SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), the Company was permitted to provide provisional amounts for recording the tax effects of the enacted tax law during a specified measurement period, ending one year after the enactment date. The Company recorded a $1.0 million income tax benefit during the year ended December 31, 2018 related to refinement of the Section 965 toll charge tax liability on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. Additionally, the Company analyzed the impact of the international corporate tax reform measures which became effective January 1, 2018, including the new taxes on foreign earnings known as the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). The Company has elected to treat GILTI taxes as period costs in the accounting and tax periods in which they are incurred. The Company has recognized tax expense of $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to the GILTI tax. In 2018, the Deferred Tax Asset Deed was terminated resulting in a tax net impact of $1.6 million. In 2017 the deed was revalued due to the enactment of the Tax Act resulting in a tax impact of $18.1 million. During 2018, the Company wrote-off its $8.6 million deferred tax asset for state net operating loss carryforwards and released the corresponding $8.6 million valuation allowance, as management has concluded that the tax benefits associated with the state net operating loss carryforwards will not be recognized. In general, it is the practice and intention of the Company to reinvest earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. Management has no intention of repatriating earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries in the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any deferred tax liabilities relating to additional taxes such as foreign withholding and state taxes which could arise on the repatriation of unremitted earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. It is not practical for the Company to determine the potential unrecognized deferred tax liability related to unremitted earnings due to numerous assumptions associated with the determination. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The significant components of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the years ended December 31 are as follows (in millions): 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Interest expense $ 5.2 $ 70.7 Federal net operating loss 0.5 0.9 State net operating loss carry forwards — 0.2 Investment in partnerships 156.1 164.1 Intangible assets 0.1 0.3 Employee compensation 3.9 4.4 Other 3.3 3.0 Cash flow hedge 5.5 6.2 Total deferred tax assets 174.6 249.8 Deferred tax liabilities: Right of use assets 0.8 1.2 Investments 3.0 5.0 Total deferred tax liabilities 3.8 6.2 Net deferred tax assets $ 170.8 $ 243.6 At December 31, 2020, the Company has tax attributes that carry forward for varying periods. The Company’s federal net operating loss carryforward of $4.4 million originated during 2004 and 2006 and will expire over a four five A reconciliation of the change in gross unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31 is as follows (in millions): 2020 2019 2018 Balance as of January 1 $ 11.3 $ 46.9 $ 88.7 Additions based on current year tax positions 0.1 0.1 0.1 Reductions for tax provisions of prior years — — (0.9) Reductions related to lapses of statutes of limitations (7.8) (35.7) (41.0) Balance as of December 31 $ 3.6 $ 11.3 $ 46.9 The Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions includes unrecognized benefits of $3.4 million and $11.2 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, that if recognized would affect the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. The Company recognized $(0.9) million, $(5.3) million, and $(1.9) million in interest and penalties in its income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 includes accrued interest and penalties of $0.5 million, $1.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $3.2 million in unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary within the next twelve months, as the result of a lapse of statute of limitations. The Company is periodically under examination by various taxing authorities. Examinations are inherently uncertain, may result in payment of additional taxes or the recognition of tax benefits and may be in process for extended periods of time. At December 31, 2020, the Company is subject to examination in two jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the U.K., U.S. federal, state, local and other foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2020, the Company is generally no longer subject to income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state, local, or foreign tax authorities for calendar years prior to 2009. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.K. for calendar years prior to 2017. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Operational commitments The Company had unfunded commitments to invest up to approximately $33 million in co-investments as of December 31, 2020. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of the respective investment periods ranging through fiscal 2022. Certain Affiliates operate under regulatory authorities that require that they maintain minimum financial or capital requirements. Management is not aware of any violations of such financial requirements occurring during the period. Guaranty The Company entered into a guaranty for an office space security deposit on behalf of an Affiliate in the amount of $2.5 million in January 2020. This represents the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the Company could be required to make under the guaranty in the event of default by the guaranteed party. This guaranty expires in 2022. There are no liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 related to this guaranty. Litigation The Company and its Affiliates are subject to claims, legal proceedings and other contingencies in the ordinary course of their business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved in a manner unfavorable to the Company or its Affiliates. The Company and its Affiliates establish accruals for matters for which the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. If an insurance claim or other indemnification for a litigation accrual is available to the Company, the associated gain will not be recognized until all contingencies related to the gain have been resolved. As of December 31, 2020, there were no material accruals for claims, legal proceedings or other contingencies. Indemnifications In the normal course of business, such as through agreements to enter into business combinations and divestitures of Affiliates, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. Foreign tax contingency The Company has clients in non-U.S. jurisdictions which require entities that are conducting certain business activities in such jurisdictions to collect and remit tax assessed on certain fees paid for goods and services provided. The Company does not believe this requirement is applicable based on its limited business activities in these jurisdictions. However, given the fact that uncertainty exists around the requirement, the Company has chosen to evaluate its potential exposure related to non-collection and remittance of these taxes. At December 31, 2020, management of the Company has estimated the potential maximum exposure and concluded that it is not material. No accrual for the potential exposure has been recorded as the probability of incurring any potential liability relating to this exposure is not probable at December 31, 2020. Considerations of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short term investments with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are typically located in cities in which the Company and its Affiliates operate. For the Company and certain Affiliates, cash deposits at a financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. Additionally, the Company holds insurance policies which cover historical and future tax benefits relating to certain of its deferred tax assets. The insurers of the policies are considered a significant counterparty to the Company. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to controlling interests by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, but is adjusted for the effect of potentially issuable common stock, except when inclusion is antidilutive. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (dollars in millions, except per share data): 2020 2019 2018 Numerator: Net income attributable to controlling interests $ 286.7 $ 223.9 $ 136.4 Less: Total income available to participating unvested securities (1) (0.1) (0.1) (0.4) Total net income attributable to common stock $ 286.6 $ 223.8 $ 136.0 Denominator: Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding—basic 81,259,778 91,205,412 107,431,821 Potential shares of common stock: Restricted stock units 60,276 63,540 191,371 Employee stock options 716,149 — — Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding—diluted 82,036,203 91,268,952 107,623,192 Earnings per share of common stock attributable to controlling interests: Basic $ 3.53 $ 2.45 $ 1.27 Diluted $ 3.49 $ 2.45 $ 1.26 (1) Income available to participating unvested securities includes dividends paid on unvested restricted shares and their proportionate share of undistributed earnings. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | Management fees The Company’s management fees are a function of the fee rates the Affiliates charge to their clients, which are typically expressed in basis points, and the levels of the Company’s assets under management. The most significant driver of increases or decreases in this average fee rate is changes in the mix of the Company’s assets under management caused by net inflows or outflows in certain asset classes or disproportionate market movements. For certain of the Company’s Alternative funds, management fee revenue is calculated based on a percentage of assets under management or total capital commitments. These Alternative funds can also include “catch-up” provisions such that the Company records revenue for payments of fund management fees back to the initial closing date for funds with multiple closings, less placement fees paid to third parties related to these funds. Performance fees The Company’s products subject to performance fees earn these fees upon exceeding high-water mark performance thresholds or outperforming a hurdle rate. Conversely, the separate accounts / other products, which primarily earn management fees, are potentially subject to performance adjustments up or down based on investment performance versus benchmarks (i.e. fulcrum fees). Other revenue Included in other revenue are certain payroll and benefits costs and expenses paid on behalf of Funds by the Company’s Affiliates. In instances where a customer reimburses the Company for a cost paid on the customer’s behalf, the Company is acting as a principal and the reimbursement is accrued on a gross basis at cost as the corresponding reimbursable expenses are incurred. Revenue from expense reimbursements amounted to $4.6 million, $4.4 million, and $8.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is recorded in other revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other revenue may also consist of other miscellaneous revenue, consisting primarily of administration and consulting services. Disaggregation of management fee revenue The Company classifies its revenue (including only consolidated Affiliates that are included in management fee revenue) among the following asset classes: i. U.S. equity, which includes small cap through large cap securities and substantially value or blended investment styles; ii. Global / non-U.S. equity, which includes global and international equities including emerging markets; iii. Fixed income, which includes government bonds, corporate bonds and other fixed income investments in the United States; and iv. Alternatives, which is comprised of illiquid and differentiated liquid investment strategies that include private equity, real estate and real assets, including forestry, as well as a growing suite of liquid alternative capabilities in areas such as long/short, market neutral and absolute return. Management fee revenue by segment and asset class is comprised of the following for the years ended December 31 (in millions): 2020 2019 2018 Quant & Solutions Global / non-U.S. equity $ 346.8 $ 370.8 $ 377.4 Alternatives Alternatives 170.6 165.0 208.3 Liquid Alpha (1) Global / non-U.S. equity 73.0 90.7 112.9 Fixed income 22.1 26.0 26.8 U.S. equity 85.4 154.5 179.6 Management fee revenue $ 697.9 $ 807.0 $ 905.0 (1) In July 2020, the Company completed the sale of Copper Rock. In November 2020, the Company completed the sale of Barrow Hanley. See Note 3, Divestitures, for further discussion of divestitures. The financial results of Copper Rock are included in the Liquid Alpha segment until July 24, 2020, the completion of the sale. The financial results of Barrow Hanley are included in the Liquid Alpha segment until November 17, 2020, the completion of the sale. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefits | The Company has various defined contribution plans covering substantially all of its full-time employees and several of its Affiliates. In addition to pre-tax contributions made by employees, the Company also makes contributions to the qualified plans annually. The Company also has non-qualified defined contribution plans covering certain senior employees. The Company has established a Deferred Compensation Plan under which the Board of Directors makes awards that may be invested by the recipient in investments deemed available under the plan. Vesting of awards under the Deferred Compensation Plan is based on the number of years of service already provided by the employee at the date of the grant. In addition, the Company has established a Voluntary Deferral Plan that provides officers of the Company the opportunity to voluntarily defer a portion of their compensation. The compensation deferred is deemed to be invested in one or more investment options available under the plan. These non-qualified plans are unfunded, although the Company does make contributions to a Rabbi Trust to hedge its risks in terms of providing returns to employees on their deemed investments held in the plan. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, a total of $72.8 million and $88.3 million, respectively, had been recorded as long-term compensation liabilities and a total of $73.0 million and $88.8 million had been invested under the Deferred Compensation and Voluntary Deferral plans, respectively. The change in the fair value of long-term compensation liabilities and the change in fair value of the assets invested under the Deferred Compensation and Voluntary Deferral plans was $9.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020, $9.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019, and $0.1 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company recorded total expenses in relation to its qualified and non-qualified plans within compensation and benefits in its Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 of $11.5 million, $14.2 million and $14.4 million, respectively. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Equity-based Compensation | Equity-based Compensation Cash-settled Affiliate awards The Company maintains compensation arrangements with certain of its Affiliates whereby in exchange for continued service, Affiliate equity is either purchased by, or granted to Affiliate key employees subject to a limit imposed by the Company, and may be repurchased either by Affiliate key employees or by the Company at a future date at the then applicable fair value, subject to service requirements having been met. Pre-acquisition equity units held by employees of acquired Affiliates that are subject to service conditions are also accounted for as equity-based compensation arrangements. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period equal to the cumulative vested fair value of the award at the end of each period up to vesting date. The Company accounts for these arrangements as “cash-settled” share-based payments, and accordingly a corresponding share-based payment liability is recorded. The fair value of the liabilities are determined with the assistance of third party valuation specialists using discounted cash flow analyses, which incorporate assumptions for the forecasted earnings information, market risk adjustments, discount rates and post-vesting restrictions. Vested Affiliate equity liabilities are revalued at each period end until settlement date, with changes in the liabilities included within compensation expense. In conjunction with the Landmark acquisition, BSIG entered into compensation arrangements with employees of Landmark where an additional acquisition-related payment of $207.6 million was earned based on the growth of Landmark’s business. This arrangement was accounted for as cash-settled equity-based compensation and fair valued as of the closing date of the acquisition. The amount vested on December 31, 2018 and was paid in February 2019. The following table presents the changes in the share-based payments liability for the years ended December 31 (in millions): 2020 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of period $ 221.8 $ 386.1 $ 188.8 Amortization and revaluation of granted awards 2.2 45.1 199.9 Repurchases (cash-settled) (10.2) (209.4) (2.6) Balance, end of period $ 213.8 $ 221.8 $ 386.1 Equity-settled corporate awards BrightSphere Investment Group equity incentive plan The Company has established various plans under which it is authorized to grant restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock awards (“Performance-based RSAs”), performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance-based RSUs”) and stock option awards. These plans are maintained to provide equity-based compensation arrangements to employees and non-executive directors. Equity ownership encourages employees and directors to act in the best long-term interests of the Company. A total of 14.8 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the various plans. Compensation expense recognized by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 in relation to these awards was $2.5 million, $5.8 million, and $7.1 million respectively. The related income tax benefit recognized for years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $1.3 million respectively. Unamortized compensation expense related to unvested RSAs, RSUs, Performance-based RSAs, Performance-based RSUs and stock options at December 31, 2020 of $3.6 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The service inception date for annual awards granted in 2020 is deemed to be January 1, 2019. It is anticipated that annual awards for 2020 with a fair value of $0.1 million will be granted during 2021 with a service inception date of January 1, 2020.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging | Derivatives and Hedging Cash flow hedge In July 2015, the Company entered into a series of $300.0 million notional Treasury rate lock contracts which were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. The Company documented its hedging strategy and risk management objective for this contract in anticipation of a future debt issuance. The Treasury rate lock contract eliminated the impact of fluctuations in the underlying benchmark interest rate for future forecasted debt issuances. The Company assessed the effectiveness of the hedging contract at inception and on a quarterly basis thereafter. The forecasted debt issuances occurred in July 2016 and the Treasury rate lock, which had an accumulated fair value of $(34.4) million, was settled. Refer to Note 14, Borrowings and Debt, for additional information on the debt issuances. Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with the settled Treasury rate lock were $3.1 million, net of tax of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in connection with the Treasury rate lock contract amounted to $(18.0) million, net of tax. This balance will be reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the issued debt. Amounts of $3.1 million, $3.0 million and $2.8 million have been reclassified for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the next twelve months the Company expects to reclassify approximately $3.3 million to interest expense. Derivatives of consolidated Funds In the normal course of business, the Company’s consolidated Funds may enter into transactions involving derivative financial instruments in connection with Funds’ investing activities. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Funds can invest; to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Funds. The Funds may also use derivatives to manage duration; sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility. Derivative financial instruments base their value upon an underlying asset, index or reference rate. These instruments are subject to various risks, including leverage, market, credit, liquidity and operational risks. The Funds manage the risks associated with derivatives on an aggregate basis, along with the risks associated with its trading and as part of its overall risk management policies. |

Segment Information | Segment Information The Company has the following business segments: • Quant & Solutions —comprised of versatile, often highly-tailored strategies that leverage data and technology in a computational, factor based investment process across a range of asset classes and geographies, including Global, non-U.S., and emerging markets equities, as well as multi-asset and managed volatility products. • Alternatives —comprised of illiquid and differentiated liquid investment strategies that include private equity, real estate and real assets, including forestry, as well as a growing suite of liquid alternative capabilities in areas such as long/short, market neutral and absolute return. • Liquid Alpha (1) —comprised of specialized investment strategies with a focus on alpha-generation across market cycles in long-only small-, mid-, and large-cap U.S. and non-U.S. equities, as well as fixed income. (1) In July 2020, the Company completed the sale of Copper Rock, and in November 2020, the Company completed the sale of Barrow Hanley. See Note 3, Divestitures, for further discussion of divestitures. The financial results of Copper Rock are included in the Liquid Alpha segment until July 24, 2020, the completion of the sale. The financial results of Barrow Hanley are included in the Liquid Alpha segment until November 17, 2020, the completion of the sale. The Company has a corporate head office that is included in “Other”. The corporate head office supports the segments by providing infrastructure and administrative support in the areas of accounting/finance, information technology, legal, compliance and human resources. The corporate head office expenses are not allocated to the Company’s three business segments but the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) does consider the cost structure of the corporate head office when evaluating the financial performance of the segments. Performance Measure The primary measure used by the CODM in measuring performance and allocating resources to the segments is Economic Net Income ("ENI"). The Company defines economic net income for the segments as ENI revenue less (i) ENI operating expenses, (ii) variable compensation and (iii) key employee distributions. The ENI adjustments to U.S. GAAP include both reclassifications of U.S. GAAP revenue and expense items, as well as adjustments to U.S. GAAP results, primarily to exclude non-cash, non-economic expenses, or to reflect cash benefits not recognized under U.S. GAAP. This measure supplements and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company does not disclose total asset information for its reportable segments as the information is not reviewed by the CODM. ENI revenue includes management fees, performance fees and other revenue under U.S. GAAP, adjusted to include management fees paid to Affiliates by consolidated Funds and the Company’s share of earnings from its equity-accounted Affiliate. ENI revenue is also adjusted to exclude the separate revenues recorded under U.S. GAAP for certain Fund expenses reimbursed to our Affiliates. ENI operating expenses include compensation and benefits, general and administrative expense, and depreciation and amortization under U.S. GAAP, adjusted to exclude non-cash expenses representing changes in the value of Affiliate equity and profit interests held by Affiliate key employees, non-cash amortization of acquisition-related contingent consideration, as well as the value of employee equity owned pre-acquisition that occurred as a result of the Landmark transaction, goodwill impairment and amortization of acquired intangible assets, capital transaction costs, restructuring costs, the impact of a one-time compensation arrangement entered into that includes advances against future compensation payments, and the separate expenses recorded under U.S. GAAP for certain Fund expenses reimbursed to Affiliates. Additionally, variable compensation and Affiliate key employee distributions are segregated from ENI operating expenses. ENI segment results are also adjusted to exclude the portion of consolidated Fund revenues, expenses and investment return recorded under U.S. GAAP.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation These Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the historical balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and statements of cash flows of the Company. Within these Consolidated Financial Statements, OM plc, HNA, Paulson and their related entities, as defined above, are referred to as “related parties.” The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All dollar amounts, except per-share data in the text and tables herein, are stated in millions unless otherwise indicated. Transactions between the Company and its related parties are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, however material intercompany balances and transactions among the Company, its consolidated Affiliates and consolidated Funds are eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the Redomestication on July 12, 2019, discussed in Note 1, the Company revised its equity accounts to reflect a U.S. domiciled company presentation on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ equity and the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. The previously issued ordinary shares of BrightSphere Investment Group plc were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. The Redomestication and related internal reorganization was accounted for consistent with a reorganization of entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 Business Combinations . Accordingly, the transfer of the assets and liabilities and exchange of shares was recorded in the new entity (BrightSphere Investment Group Inc.) at their carrying amounts from the transferring entity (BrightSphere Investment Group plc) at the date of transfer. |
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition Revenue from contracts with customers The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in accordance with the revenue recognition guidance. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s management fee revenue is calculated based upon levels of assets under management multiplied by a fee rate. Management fee revenue is typically calculated on a monthly or quarterly basis, but is earned continuously as performance obligations are fulfilled. The transaction price is variable in contracts which calculate AUM on an average basis over a specified period and this variability is resolved at the end of the period, when the actual average AUM for the contract period may be calculated. The Company is able to resolve the variability and calculate the most likely amount to be recognized for any given period by estimating revenue based upon a daily average AUM. For certain of the Company’s Alternative funds, management fee revenue is calculated based on a percentage of assets under management or total capital commitments. These Alternative funds can also include “catch-up” provisions such that the Company records revenue for payments of fund management fees back to the initial closing date for funds with multiple closings, less placement fees paid to third parties related to these funds. All of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied ratably over time and there is no distinction in the methodology used to recognize management fee revenue in instances where there is more than one performance obligation. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using a time-based output measure to measure progress. Management fees are recognized monthly as services are rendered. Affiliates that manage tangible property may also earn transaction fees at the time the underlying property is bought and sold. Any fees collected in advance are deferred and recognized as income over the period earned. Dividend income received is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Performance fees are generally assessed as a percentage of the investment performance realized on a client’s account. Additionally, separate accounts or other products which primarily earn management fees are potentially subject to performance adjustments up or down based on investment performance versus benchmark. Performance fees, including those that are subject to clawback, are recognized when they (i) become billable to customers (based on contractual terms of agreements) and (ii) are not subject to contingent repayment. The Company is required to capitalize certain costs directly related to the acquisition or fulfillment of a contract with a customer. The Company has noted no instances where sales-based compensation or similar costs met the definition of an incremental cost to acquire a contract with a customer in accordance with revenue recognition guidance. There are no instances where the Company has incurred costs to fulfill a contract with a customer, therefore no intangible assets related to contract acquisition or fulfillment have been recognized. For each one of its contracts with customers, the Company identifies one or more performance obligations within the contract and then, for each performance obligation, determines if it is a principal (where the nature of its promise is to provide a specified good or service itself) or an agent (where the nature of its promise is to arrange for a good or service to be provided by another party). In instances where a customer reimburses the Company for a cost paid on the customer’s behalf, if the Company is acting as a principal, the reimbursement is recorded on a gross basis and if the Company is acting as an agent, the reimbursement is recorded on a net basis. Certain Funds reimburse the Company’s Affiliates for certain expenses where the Affiliate is acting as a principal, primarily for compensation expense for field office personnel at several Timber Funds, where revenue is recognized from log and fiber sales upon delivery to the customer. Revenue from expense reimbursement is accrued at cost as the corresponding reimbursable expenses are incurred and is recorded in other revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue from other sources Other revenue also includes interest income on cash and cash equivalents and revenue from administration and consulting services. |
Compensation arrangements | Compensation arrangements The Company operates short term variable compensation arrangements where generally, a percentage of each Affiliate’s annual pre-variable compensation earnings, as defined in each arrangement, is allocated to a “pool” of each respective Affiliate’s key employees and subsequently distributed to individuals subject to recommendation and approval of a remuneration committee comprised of both the Company’s and each respective Affiliate’s management. Variable compensation expense is accrued and recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as services are provided by individual employees. The Company operates longer term profit-interest plans whereby certain Affiliate key employees are granted (or have a right to purchase) awards representing a profits interest in their respective Affiliate, as distinct from an equity interest due to the lack of pari passu voting rights. Under these plans, the Company may award a portion of the aforementioned variable compensation arrangement through issuance of a profits interest in the Affiliate. The awards generally have a three In addition, under certain circumstances, Affiliate key employees are eligible to receive repurchase payments upon exiting the plans based on a multiple of the last twelve months profits of their respective Affiliate, as defined. Profits allocated and movements in the potential repurchase value, determined based on a fixed multiple times trailing twelve month profits, as defined, are recognized as compensation expense. Profit interests compensation liabilities are re-measured at each reporting date at the twelve month earnings multiple, with movements treated as compensation expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Share-based compensation plans | Share-based compensation plans The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments to directors, senior management and employees, including grants of restricted stock and stock options, as compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the respective vesting periods. Awards made under the Company’s equity plans are accounted for as equity settled, and the grant date fair value is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, with a corresponding contribution to additional paid-in capital. Valuation of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is determined based on the Company’s closing share price as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on the measurement date. For performance-based awards and stock options, a Monte-Carlo simulation model is used to determine the fair value. Key inputs for the model include: assumed reinvestment of dividends, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and term. All excess tax benefits and deficiencies on share-based payment awards are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the tax effects of exercised or vested awards are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur and excess tax benefits or deficiencies are classified with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. |
Consolidation | Consolidation Affiliates The Company evaluates each of its Affiliates and other operating entities to determine the appropriate method of accounting. Generally, majority-owned entities or otherwise controlled investments in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as the principal shareholder, managing member, or general partner are consolidated. Funds In the normal course of business, the Company’s Affiliates sponsor and manage certain investment vehicles (the “Funds”). The Company assesses consolidation requirements with respect to its Funds. In evaluating whether or not a legal entity must be consolidated, the Company determines if such entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or a voting interest entity (“VOE”). A VOE is considered an entity in which (i) the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance its activities independently and (ii) the equity holders at risk have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns, and the right to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a VOE. Assessing whether an entity is a VIE or VOE involves judgment and analysis. Factors considered in this assessment include the entity’s legal organization, the entity’s capital structure and equity ownership and any related party or de-facto agent implications of the Company’s involvement with the entity. Investments that are determined to be VIEs are consolidated if the Company or a consolidated Affiliate is the primary beneficiary of the investment. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly by the Company or indirectly through related parties on a proportional basis. The primary beneficiary of the VIE is defined as the variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is defined as (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If no single party satisfies both criteria, but the Company and its related parties satisfy the criteria on a combined basis, then the primary beneficiary is the entity out of the related party group that is most closely associated to the VIE. The consolidation analysis can generally be performed qualitatively, however, if it is not readily apparent that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, a quantitative analysis may also be performed. The Company generally is not the primary beneficiary of Fund VIEs created to manage assets for clients unless the Company’s ownership interest in the fund, including interests of related parties on a proportional basis, is significant. The Company consolidates VOEs when it has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity or holds the majority voting interest. Upon the occurrence of certain events (such as contributions and redemptions, either by the Company, its Affiliates, or third parties, or amendments to the governing documents of the Company’s investees or sponsored Funds) management reviews and reconsiders its previous conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a VIE or a VOE. Additionally, management continually reconsiders whether the Company is deemed to be a VIE’s primary beneficiary who consolidates such entity. |
Investments and Investment Transactions | Investments and Investment Transactions Valuation of investments held at fair value Valuation of Fund investments, including Timber Funds, is evaluated pursuant to the fair value methodology discussed below. Other investments are categorized as trading and recorded at estimated fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of investments are reported within net consolidated funds’ investment gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 5 for a summary of the inputs utilized to determine the fair value of other investments held at fair value. Security transactions The Company generally records securities transactions on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are generally determined on the average-cost method (net of foreign capital gain taxes) and for certain transactions determined based on the specific identification method. Income and expense recognition The Company records interest income on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Short sales Certain Funds may sell a security they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. The short sales are secured by the long portfolio and available cash. The Fund records a gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, upon the termination of a short sale. The amount of the gain or loss will be equal to the proceeds received in entering into the short sale less the cost of buying back the short security to close the short position. While the transaction is open, the Fund will incur an expense for any accrued dividends or interest which is paid to the lender of the securities. These short sales may involve a level of risk in excess of the liability recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The extent of such risk cannot be quantified. Funds’ Derivatives Certain Funds may use derivative instruments. The Funds’ derivative instruments may include foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, financial futures contracts and warrants. The fair values of derivative instruments are recorded as other assets of consolidated Funds or other liabilities of consolidated Funds on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Funds have used foreign exchange forwards to hedge the risk of movement in exchange rates on financial assets on a limited basis. The Company’s Funds have not designated any financial instruments for hedge accounting, as defined in the accounting literature, during the periods presented. The gains or losses on Fund’s derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting are included as net consolidated Funds gains or losses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Foreign currency translation and transactions | Foreign currency translation and transactions Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. entities for which the local currency is the functional currency are translated at current exchange rates as of the end of the accounting period. The related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Net exchange gains and losses resulting from translation are excluded from income and are recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are revalued at the current exchange rate at the transaction date and any related gains and losses are recognized in earnings. |
Equity method investments | Equity method investments The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments that provide the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence over an entity, but that do not meet the requirements for consolidation. Equity method investments includes an Affiliate, Investment Counselors of Maryland, LLC, as well as all unconsolidated Funds over which the Company exercises significant influence. Equity-accounted investments in consolidated Funds is comprised of investments in partnership interests where a portion of the return includes carried interest. These investments are accounted for within the scope of ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures |
Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements In accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements, fair value is the price that the Company expects to be paid upon the sale of an asset or expects to pay upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. There is a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own conclusions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. Assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: • Level I—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments. • Level II—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies utilizing observable market inputs other than quoted prices. Investments which are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives. • Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and include assets and liabilities where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments that are included in this category generally include general and limited partner interests in timber funds, corporate private equity, real estate funds, and funds of hedge funds. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. In cases in which the fair value of an investment is established using the net asset value (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient, the investment is not categorized within the fair value hierarchy. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The year ended December 31, 2020 was characterized by heightened uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. |
Operating segment | Operating segmentThe Company operates in three reportable segments that provide investment management services and products primarily to institutional clients. |
Derivatives and Hedging | Derivatives and Hedging The Company may utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge the risk of movement of interest rates and foreign currency on financial assets and liabilities. These derivative financial instruments may or may not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company records all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures these instruments at fair value. For a derivative financial instrument that qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and is designated as a hedging instrument, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings over the life of the hedge. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized in earnings immediately. |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments, including money market mutual funds, with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value due to the short-term maturity of these investments. Restricted cash represents amounts held in escrow related to the Company's disposition of Barrow Hanley. Cash held by consolidated Funds is not available to fund general liquidity needs of the Company and is therefore also classified as restricted cash. |
Investment advisory fees receivable | Investment advisory fees receivableThe Company earns management and performance fees which are billed monthly, quarterly and annually, according to the terms of the relevant investment management agreement. Management and performance fees that have been earned, but have not yet been collected are presented as investment advisory fees receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the short-term nature and liquidity of these receivables, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values. The Company typically does not record an allowance for doubtful accounts or bad debt expense, or any amounts recorded have been immaterial. |
Fixed assets | Fixed assets Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of office equipment and furniture and fixtures range from three |
Intangible assets | Intangible assets Acquired Affiliates have identifiable intangible assets arising from contractual or other legal rights with their clients. In determining the value of acquired intangibles, the Company analyzes the net present value of each acquired Affiliate’s existing client relationships based on a number of factors. The Company analyzes the Affiliate’s historical and potential future operating performance, the Affiliate’s historical and potential future rates of attrition among existing clients, the stability and longevity of existing client relationships, the Affiliate’s recent and long-term investment performance, the characteristics of the firm’s products and investment styles, the stability and depth of the Affiliate’s management team and the Affiliate’s history and perceived franchise or brand value. The Company’s acquired intangible assets are predominately definite-life intangible assets and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from five The Company tests for the possible impairment of definite-life intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If such indicators exist, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows related to the asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flows amount, an impairment charge is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for amounts necessary to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value. Indefinite-life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of the first business day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. |
Goodwill | Goodwill The Company records goodwill when the consideration paid in a business acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net total of tangible assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances occur that indicate impairment may exist. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the Company’s use of the acquired assets in a business combination or the strategy for the Company’s overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. |
Assets Held for Sale | Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies its long-lived assets to be sold as held for sale in the period (i) it has approved and committed to a plan to sell the asset, (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to sell the asset have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the asset is probable, (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially measures a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset until the date of sale. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company stops recording depreciation expense on the asset. The Company assesses the fair value of a long-lived asset less any costs to sell at each reporting period and until the asset is no longer classified as held for sale. |
Leases | Leases Contracts are evaluated at inception to determine whether such contract is or contains a lease. The Company leases certain office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. As leases expire, they are normally renewed or replaced in the ordinary course of business. Lease agreements may contain renewal options exercisable by the Company, rent escalation clauses and/or other incentives provided by the landlord. Renewal options that have been determined to be reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the lease term. Rights and obligations attributable to identified leases with a term in excess of twelve months are recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets in the form of right‐of‐use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities are recognized as of the date the underlying assets are available for use, which may be the date the Company gains access to begin leasehold improvements. Lease payments related to short‐term leases with a term of twelve months or less are recognized on a straight‐line basis as short‐term lease expense. Lease liabilities are initially and subsequently measured as the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. For the purposes of this calculation, lease payments consist of fixed monthly lease payments related to use of the underlying assets. As the Company's leases generally do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, the company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on information available at the lease commencement date. ROU assets are initially valued equal to the corresponding lease liabilities, adjusted for any lease incentives payable to the Company. Subsequently, the amortization of ROU assets is recognized as a component of operating lease expense. The total cost of operating leases is recognized on a straight‐line basis over the life of the related leases, and is composed of imputed interest on lease liabilities measured using the effective interest method and amortization of the ROU asset. Variable lease payments are primarily related to services such as common‐area maintenance and utilities, property taxes and insurance, and are recognized as variable lease expense when incurred. |
Earnings per share | Earnings per share The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income by its shares outstanding as outlined below. Basic EPS attributable to the Company’s shareholders is calculated by dividing “Net income attributable to controlling interests” by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS, but adjusts for the effect of potential shares of common stock unless they are antidilutive. For periods with a net loss, potential shares of common stock are considered antidilutive. The Company considers two ways to measure dilution to earnings per share: (a) calculate the net number of shares that would be issued assuming any related proceeds are used to buy back outstanding shares (the treasury stock method), or (b) assume the gross number of shares are issued and calculate any related effects on net income available for shareholders (the if-converted or two-class method). As appropriate, the Company’s policy is to apply the more dilutive methodology upon issuance of such instruments. |
Deferred financing costs | Deferred financing costs The Company records debt issuance costs of term loans as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability. For debt issuance costs of revolving credit loans, the Company presents debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizes the deferred costs ratably over the term of the agreement. |
Income taxes | Income taxes Deferred income taxes are recognized for the effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s deferred tax assets have been attributable to interest deductions, investment in partnerships, and employee compensation. Deferred income tax assets are subject to a valuation allowance if, in management’s opinion, it is not more-likely-than-not that these benefits will be realized. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence including its past operating results, the existence of cumulative earnings or losses in the most recent years and its forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions including the amount of future pre-tax operating income and the reversal of temporary differences. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. The Company’s accounting policy is to treat the global intangible low-taxed income taxes which became effective January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as period costs in the accounting and tax periods in which they are incurred. A tax benefit should only be recognized if it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained based on its technical merits. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would uphold the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest cumulative amount of benefit greater than 50% likely of being sustained. The more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period to support continued recognition of the benefit. Unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties, are adjusted periodically to reflect changing facts and circumstances. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify interest and related charges as a component of income tax expense. |
Non-controlling interests | Non-controlling interests For certain entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, the Company reports non-controlling interests as equity on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's consolidated net income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations includes the income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest holders of the Company's consolidated Affiliates and Funds. Ownership interests held by Affiliate key employees are categorized as liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are revalued each reporting date, with movements treated as compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Redeemable non-controlling interests | Redeemable non-controlling interests The Company includes redeemable non-controlling interests related to certain consolidated Funds as temporary equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Non-controlling interests in certain consolidated Funds are subject to monthly or quarterly redemption by the investors. When redeemable amounts become legally payable to investors, they are classified as a liability and included in total liabilities of consolidated Funds on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Other comprehensive income (loss) | Other comprehensive income (loss) Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. For the Company’s purposes, comprehensive income (loss) represents net income (loss), as presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, adjusted for net foreign currency translation adjustments and adjustments to the valuation and amortization of certain derivative securities, net of tax. |
Restructuring costs | Restructuring costsA liability for restructuring is recognized only after management has developed a formal plan, approved by the Board of Directors, to which it has committed. The costs included in a restructuring liability are those costs that are either incremental or incurred as a direct result of the plan, or are the result of a continuing contractual obligation with no continuing economic benefit to the Company, or a penalty incurred to cancel the contractual obligation. |
Recently adopted accounting standards/Accounting standards not yet adopted | Recently adopted accounting standards In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This standard modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. This guidance removes the disclosure requirements for the valuation processes for Level III fair value measurements. This guidance also adds new disclosure requirements for the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop fair value measurements categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company has determined that the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Accounting standards not yet adopted The Company has considered all other newly issued accounting guidance that is applicable to the Company’s operations and the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including those that have not yet been adopted. The Company does not believe that any such guidance has or will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. |
Variable Interest Entities | The Company, through its Affiliates, sponsors the formation of various entities considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These VIEs are primarily Funds managed by Affiliates and other partnership interests typically owned entirely by third-party investors. Certain Funds may be capitalized with seed capital investments from the Company and may be owned partially by Affiliate key employees and/or individuals that own minority interests in an Affiliate. The Company’s determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a Fund that is a VIE is based in part on an assessment of whether or not the Company and its related parties are exposed to absorb more than an insignificant amount of the risks and rewards of the entity. Typically the Fund’s investors are entitled to substantially all of the economics of these VIEs with the exception of the management fees and performance fees, if any, earned by the Company or any investment the Company has made into the Funds. The Company generally is not the primary beneficiary of Fund VIEs created to manage assets for clients unless the Company’s ownership interest, including interests of related parties, is substantial. “Investments at fair value” consist of investments in bank loans, common and preferred stock, and other securities. To the extent the Company also has consolidated Funds that are not VIEs, the assets and liabilities of those Funds are not included in the table above. “Other assets of consolidated Funds” consist of assets of consolidated Funds, which is comprised of investments in partnership interests where a portion of return includes carried interest that are accounted for within the scope of ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures because the Company has determined it has significant influence. The assets of consolidated VIEs presented in the table above belong to the investors in those Funds, are available for use only by the Fund to which they belong, and are not available for use by the Company to the extent they are held by non-controlling interests. Any debt or liabilities held by consolidated Funds have no recourse to the Company's general credit. The Company’s involvement with Funds that are VIEs and not consolidated by the Company is generally limited to that of an investment manager and its investment in the unconsolidated VIE, if any. The Company’s investment in any unconsolidated VIE generally represents an insignificant interest of the Fund’s net assets and assets under management, such that the majority of the VIE’s results are attributable to third parties. The Company’s exposure to risk in these entities is generally limited to any capital contribution it has made or is required to make and any |

Schedule of Equity Shares Transactions | Prior to 2014, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Mutual plc (“OM plc”), an international long-term savings, protection and investment group, listed on the London Stock Exchange. On October 15, 2014, the Company completed the initial public offering (the “Offering”) by OM plc pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Additionally, between the Offering and February 25, 2019, the Company, OM plc and/or HNA Capital U.S. (“HNA”) completed a series of transactions in the Company’s shares, including a two-step transaction announced on March 25, 2017 for a sale by OM plc of a 24.95% shareholding in the Company to HNA and a two-step transaction announced on November 19, 2018 for a sale of the substantial majority of the ordinary shares held by HNA of the Company to Paulson & Co. (“Paulson”). On February 25, 2019, this transaction was completed and Paulson held approximately 21.7% of the ordinary shares of the Company. The remaining shares held by HNA were bought back by the Company in the first quarter of 2019.

The scheme of arrangement pursuant to which the Redomestication was effected was approved by the Company’s shareholders and the High Court of Justice of England and Wales. Effective as of the close of business on July 12, 2019, all issued ordinary shares of BrightSphere Investment Group plc were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. As a result, all outstanding shareholders of BrightSphere Investment Group plc became common stockholders of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. The common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. began trading on July 15, 2019, and the Company’s trading symbol on the NYSE remained unchanged as “BSIG.” Ownership percentage following the transactions for: Date Transaction description Total shares OM plc HNA Paulson Note October 15, 2014 IPO of BSIG shares by OM plc 24,231,375 78.8 % — % — % (1) June 22, 2015 Secondary public offering by OM plc 15,295,000 65.8 % — % — % (2) December 16, 2016 Secondary public offering by OM plc 14,950,000 — % — % — % (3) December 16, 2016 Repurchase and retirement of shares 6,000,000 51.1 % — % — % (4) May 12, 2017 Sale of shares from OM plc to HNA 11,414,676 40.9 % 9.95 % — % (5) May 19, 2017 Secondary public offering by OM plc 19,895,000 — % — % — % (6) May 19, 2017 Repurchase and retirement of shares 5,000,000 20.1 % 10.4 % — % (4) November 10, 2017 Sale of shares from OM plc to HNA 15,960,553 5.51 % 24.95 % — % (7) November 17, 2017 Secondary public offering by OM plc 6,039,630 — % 24.95 % — % (8) November 19, 2018 Sale of shares from HNA to Paulson 4,598,566 — % 21.4 % 4.9 % (9) February 21, 2019 Repurchase and retirement of shares by BSIG 4,100,000 — % 19.4 % 5.4 % (4) February 25, 2019 Repurchase and retirement of shares by BSIG 3,886,625 — % 16.0 % 5.7 % (4) February 25, 2019 Sale of shares from HNA to Paulson 14,790,038 — % — % 21.7 % (9) (1) Includes 2,231,375 shares purchased by the underwriters of the offering under their overallotment option.

Investments in separate accounts of $44.3 million at December 31, 2019, consist of approximately 3% of cash equivalents and 97% of equity securities. The Company values these using the published price of the underlying securities (classified as Level I) or quoted price supported by observable inputs as of the measurement date (classified as Level II). (2) Investments related to long-term incentive compensation plans of $73.0 million and $88.8 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are investments in publicly registered daily redeemable funds (some managed by Affiliates), which the Company has classified as trading securities and valued using the published price as of the measurement dates. Accordingly, the Company has classified these investments as Level I. (3) The uncategorized amounts of $16.2 million and $48.2 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, relate to investments in unconsolidated Funds which consist primarily of investments in Funds advised by Affiliates and are valued using NAV which the Company relies on to determine their fair value as a practical expedient and has therefore not classified these investments in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These unconsolidated Funds consist primarily of real estate investments Funds, UCITS and other investment vehicles. The NAVs that have been provided by investees have been derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the measurement dates. UCITS and other investment vehicles are not subject to redemption restrictions. The real estate investment Funds of $6.2 million and $6.4 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are subject to longer than monthly or quarterly redemption restrictions, and due to their nature, distributions are received only as cash flows are generated from underlying assets over the life of the Funds. The range of time over which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by the investees is approximately one Investments in unconsolidated Funds categorized as Level III of $2.6 million and $3.0 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to investments in Forestry Funds advised by Affiliates and are valued by the general partner of those Funds. Determination of estimated fair value involves subjective judgment because the actual fair value can be determined only through negotiation between parties in a sale transaction and amounts ultimately realized may vary significantly from the fair value presented. (4) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are comprised of financial investments managed by the Company’s Affiliates. Equity securities, including common and preferred stock, short-term investment funds, other investments and derivatives which are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified as Level I. The securities that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs obtained by the Company from independent pricing services are classified as Level II. The Company obtains prices from independent pricing services that may utilize broker quotes, but generally the independent pricing services will use various other pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data. The Company has not made adjustments to the prices provided. Assets of consolidated Funds also include investments in bank loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market participant quotations are readily available are valued at the average mid-point of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third-party pricing service. These assets are classified as Level II. If the pricing services are only able to (a) obtain a single broker quote or (b) utilize a pricing model, such securities are classified as Level III. If the pricing services are unable to provide prices, the Company attempts to obtain one or more broker quotes directly from a dealer or values such securities at the last bid price obtained. In either case, such securities are classified as Level III. The Company performs due diligence procedures over third party pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process to ensure compliance with required accounting disclosures. |
