Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Operating Results Segment Operating Results
Business Segments – The Company's business results are categorized into the following two segments: Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management. The Investment Banking & Equities segment includes providing advice to clients on significant mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions, as well as services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. During 2022, the Company renamed its "Investment Banking" segment to "Investment Banking & Equities." The renaming of this segment did not result from changes to the overall business structure or reporting. The Investment Management segment includes Wealth Management and interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company, and the historical results include Institutional Asset Management. The Company completed the sales of its ECB businesses in 2020. In addition, in 2020, the Company completed the transition of its advisory presence in Mexico to a strategic alliance relationship with a newly-formed independent strategic advisory firm founded by certain former employees. See Note 5 for further information.
The Company's segment information for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is prepared using the following methodology:
•Revenue, expenses and income (loss) from equity method investments directly associated with each segment are included in determining pre-tax income.
•Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount, square footage and other performance and time-based factors.
•Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment, or for certain assets shared across segments, those assets are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount and other factors.
•Investment gains and losses, interest income and interest expense are allocated between the segments based on the segment in which the underlying asset or liability is held.
Other Revenue, net, included in each segment's Net Revenues includes the following:

See Note 10 for further information.)
•A gain on the sale of a portion of the Company's interests in ABS in 2022. See Note 10 for further information
•Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations
•Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interests in private equity funds which are not managed by the Company

•A net loss on the sales of the Company's businesses at ECB, as well as a loss related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange losses resulting from the sale and wind-down of the Company's businesses in Mexico in 2020
•Adjustments to amounts due pursuant to the Company’s tax receivable agreement, subsequent to its initial establishment, related to changes in enacted tax rates
