9. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax provision includes corporate income taxes and other entity level income taxes, as well as income taxes incurred by certain affiliated funds that are consolidated in these financial statements. The following table presents the income tax expense for the period:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Income tax expense	$	41,074	$	49,714	$	68,307	$	83,520

The Company’s effective income tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated nature and amounts of income and expenses allocated to the non-controlling interests without being subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the corporate level. Additionally, the Company’s effective tax rate is influenced by the amount of income tax provision recorded for any affiliated funds and co-investment vehicles that are consolidated in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded its interim income tax provision utilizing the estimated annual effective tax rate.

The income tax effects of temporary differences give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are presented on a net basis. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $150.6 million and $21.5 million, respectively, within other assets within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As of June 30, 2024, a deferred tax liability of $5.3 million was recorded and presented as a liability for the Consolidated Funds within accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax authorities. With limited exceptions, the Company is generally no longer subject to corporate income tax audits by taxing authorities for any years prior to 2020. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company does not believe the outcome of any future audit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
