Derivative Instruments

We maintain an economic hedge program that uses derivative instruments to mitigate against market volatility of certain seeded investments by using index and commodity futures (“futures”), index swaps, total return swaps (“TRSs”) and credit default swaps. Foreign currency exposures associated with our seeded investment products are also hedged by using foreign currency forward contracts. We also have a net investment hedge related to foreign currency translation on hedged seed investments denominated in currencies other than our functional currency.

We were party to the following derivative instruments as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 (in millions):

The derivative instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, with the exception of certain foreign currency forward contracts used for net investment hedging. Changes in fair value of the futures, index swaps, TRSs and credit default swaps are recognized in investment gains (losses), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Derivative assets and liabilities are generally recognized on a gross basis and included in other current assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2020, derivative assets and liabilities were $6.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively.

We recognized the following foreign currency translation losses on hedged seed investments denominated in currencies other than our functional currency and gains associated with foreign currency forward contracts under net investment hedge accounting for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):

In addition to using derivative instruments to mitigate against market volatility of certain seeded investments, we also occasionally engage in short sales of securities. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the fair value of securities

sold but not yet purchased were $12.5 million and $26.5 million, respectively. The cash received from the short sale and the obligation to repurchase the shares are classified in other current assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Fair value adjustments are recognized in investment gains (losses), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Derivative Instruments in Consolidated Seeded Investment Products

Certain of our consolidated seeded investment products utilize derivative instruments to contribute to the achievement of defined investment objectives. These derivative instruments are classified within other current assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on these derivative instruments are classified within investment gains (losses), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
