Level 3 significant unobservable inputs sensitivity

The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 valuation of the Company's investments carried at fair value as of September 30, 2022. Included in the table are the inputs or range of possible inputs that have an effect on the overall valuation of the financial instruments.

	Fair value		Valuation technique	Unobservable input	Range
Equity investments at fair value	$	965.0	Discounted cash flows	Discount rate	11.75% (a)
				Growth rate	1.8% - 13.8% (a)
			Market multiple	Revenue multiple	2.2x – 2.5x (b)
				EBITDA multiple	11.0x – 14.5x (b)

(a)The primary unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's equity investments with fair value option, when using a discounted cash flow method, are the discount rate and revenue growth rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The Company estimates the discount rate based on the investees' projected cost of equity and debt. The revenue growth rate is forecasted for future years by the investee based on their best estimates. Significant increases (decreases) in the revenue growth rate in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

(b)The primary unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's equity investments with fair value option, when using a market multiple method, are the revenue multiple and EBITDA multiple. Significant increases (decreases) in the revenue multiple or EBITDA multiple in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The market multiples are derived from a group of guideline public companies.
