During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, AC exchanged 163,428 shares of AC for the 6.1% of Gabelli & Company Investment Advisers, Inc. ("GCIA") shares owned by third parties and certain employees.
|
-
|
On July 19, 2017, AC was deemed to have control over an offshore fund which resulted in its consolidation and an increase of approximately $99,276 of other net assets and an increase of approximately $37,901 of redeemable noncontrolling interests.
|
- |
On January 1, 2016, AC adopted ASU 2015-02, which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810. This resulted in the deconsolidation of a consolidated feeder fund and a limited partnership and a decrease of approximately $1 of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of approximately $1,705 of net assets and a decrease of approximately $1,706 of redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | A. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Unless we have indicated otherwise, or the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “Associated Capital Group, Inc.,” “AC Group,” “the Company,” “AC,” “we,” “us” and “our” or similar terms are to Associated Capital Group, Inc., its predecessors and its subsidiaries. The Spin-off and Related Transactions We are a Delaware corporation that provides alternative investment management, institutional research and underwriting services. In addition, we derive investment income/(loss) from proprietary trading of cash and other assets awaiting deployment in our operating businesses. On November 30, 2015, GAMCO Investors, Inc. (“GAMCO” or “GBL”) distributed all the outstanding shares of each class of AC common stock on a pro rata one-for-one basis to the holders of each class of GAMCO’s common stock (the “Spin-off”). We conduct our investment management business through Gabelli & Company Investment Advisers, Inc. (“GCIA” f/k/a Gabelli Securities, Inc.). GCIA and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gabelli & Partners, LLC (“Gabelli & Partners”), collectively serve as general partners or investment managers to investment funds including limited partnerships and offshore companies (collectively, “Investment Partnerships”), and separate accounts. We primarily manage assets in equity event-driven value strategies, across a range of risk and event arbitrage portfolios. The business earns management and incentive fees from its advisory assets. Management fees are largely based on a percentage of assets under management. Incentive fees are based on the percentage of the investment returns of certain clients’ portfolios. GCIA is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. We provide our institutional research and underwriting services through G.research, LLC (“G.research”) doing business as “Gabelli & Company”, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. G.research is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and is regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). G.research's revenues are derived primarily from institutional research services. In connection with the Spin-off, GAMCO issued a promissory note (the “GAMCO Note”) to AC Group in the original principal amount of $250 million used to partially capitalize the Company. The GAMCO Note bears interest at 4% per annum and has a maturity date of November 30, 2020 with respect to its original principal amount. Interest on the GAMCO Note will accrue from the most recent date for which interest has been paid. Prior to November 30, 2019, at the election of GAMCO, payment of interest on the GAMCO Note may, in lieu of being paid in cash, be paid, in whole or in part, in kind (a “PIK Amount”). GAMCO will repay all PIK Amounts added to the outstanding principal amount of the GAMCO Note, in cash, on the fifth anniversary of the date on which each such PIK Amount was added to the outstanding principal amount of the GAMCO Note. GAMCO may prepay the GAMCO Note prior to maturity without penalty. AC has received principal repayments totaling $180 million on the GAMCO Note, of which $10 million was received during the three months ended September 30, 2017 leaving an outstanding principal balance of $70 million. After application of the principal payments, $20 million and $50 million are due on November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2020, respectively. In addition, GCIA purchased 4,393,055 shares of GAMCO Class A common stock in exchange for a note in the principal amount of $150 million (the “GCIA Note”). In connection with the Spin-off, GAMCO contributed the GCIA Note to the Company. As a result,the GCIA Note is now an intercompany obligation within the AC Group. Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of AC Group included herein have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AC Group and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported on the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassification The Company has reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. For presentation of 2017 results, the Company reported revenue from its research services agreement with GAMCO in “Institutional Research Services Revenue” instead of “Other Revenue”. The reclassification did not impact revenue, operating expenses, operating income, net income, or equity. Recent Accounting Developments On May 10, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. For all entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. This ASU, which we did not early adopt, nonetheless would not have impacted the accounting for the acceleration of vesting of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. For public companies, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2017 and applied this standard during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in relation to an acceleration of vesting of RSAs during the period. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the Codification. The core principle of the new ASU No. 2014-09 is for companies to recognize revenue from the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In March 2016, the FASB issued revised guidance which clarifies the guidance related to (a) determining the appropriate unit of account under the revenue standard’s principal versus agent guidance and (b) applying the indicators of whether an entity is a principal or an agent in accordance with the revenue standard’s control principle. In April 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to provide more detailed guidance including additional implementation guidance and examples related to (a) identifying performance obligations and (b) licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB amended the standard to clarify the guidance on assessing collectability, presenting sales taxes, measuring noncash consideration, and certain transition matters. This new guidance will be effective for the Company's first quarter of 2018 and requires either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company’s implementation analysis is ongoing; however, it does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a significant effect on the timing of the recognition of revenue. The Company is currently evaluating performance obligations and the related transaction costs. The Company is also reviewing and preparing for the enhanced disclosure requirements of the standard. The overall effect upon adoption may change based on further analysis and implementation efforts. The Company has not yet determined which transition method it will use. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which amends the guidance in GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Although the ASU retains many current requirements, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (a) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (b) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The ASU also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. For public companies, the new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. To adopt the amendments, entities will be required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which adds and clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the consolidated statements of cash flows. For public companies, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 to simplify the process used to test for goodwill. Under the new standard, if “the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.” For public companies, the ASU is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for impairment tests that occur after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Investment in Securities | B. Investment in Securities Management determines the appropriate classification of debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of the date of each consolidated statement of financial condition. Investments in United States Treasury Bills and Notes with maturities of greater than three months at the time of purchase are classified as investments in securities, and those with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The portion of investments in securities held for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are stated at fair value, with any unrealized gains or losses reported in current period earnings. Available for sale (“AFS”) investments are stated at fair value, with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, reported as a component of equity except for losses deemed to be other-than- temporary (“OTT”) which are recorded as realized losses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. In addition, realized gains and losses from AFS securities are reclassified from equity to current period income. Investments in securities, including GBL stock, at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016 consisted of the following:
Securities sold, not yet purchased at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016 consisted of the following:
Investments in affiliated registered investment companies at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016 consisted of the following:
The following table identifies all reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):
The Company recognizes all equity derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value and includes them in either investments in securities or securities sold, not yet purchased on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. From time to time, the Company and/or the partnerships and offshore funds that the Company consolidates will enter into hedging transactions to manage their exposure to foreign currencies and equity prices related to their investments. At September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, we held derivative contracts on 1.8 million equity shares, 16,000 equity shares and 24,000 equity shares, respectively, that are included in investments in securities or securities sold, not yet purchased on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. We had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016. Generally, these transactions are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and, therefore changes in fair values of these derivatives are included in net gain/(loss) from investments on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The following table identifies the fair values of all derivatives held by the Company (in thousands):
The following table identifies gains and losses of all derivatives held by the Company (in thousands):
The Company is a party to enforceable master netting arrangements for swaps entered into with major U.S. financial institutions as part of the investment strategy of the Company’s proprietary portfolio. They are typically not used as hedging instruments. These swaps, while settled on a net basis with the counterparties are shown gross in assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The swaps have a firm contract end date and are closed out and settled when each contract expires.
The following is a summary of the cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value of available for sale investments as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016:
Changes in net unrealized gains, net of taxes, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 of $1.7 million in gains and $9.3 million in losses, respectively, have been included in other comprehensive income, a component of equity, at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. Return of capital on available for sale securities was $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Proceeds from sales of investments available for sale were approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, gross gains on the sale of investments available for sale amounted to $0.1 million and were reclassified from other comprehensive income into net gain/(loss) from investments in the condensed consolidated statements of income. There were no proceeds from the sales of investments available for sale and no gross gains on the sale of investments available for sale for the three months ended September 30, 2016. There were no losses on the sale of investments available for sale for the three months ended September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016. Changes in net unrealized gains/(losses), net of taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 of $14.2 million in gains and $4.8 million in losses, respectively, have been included in other comprehensive income, a component of equity, at September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. Return of capital on available for sale securities was $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Proceeds from sales of investments available for sale were approximately $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, gross gains on the sale of investments available for sale amounted to $0.2 million and $0.3 million and were reclassified from other comprehensive income into net gain/(loss) from investments in the condensed consolidated statements of income. There were no losses on the sale of investments available for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016. The Company determines the cost of a security sold by using specific identification. Investments classified as available for sale that are in an unrealized loss position for which other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized consisted of the following (in thousands):
There were no losses on AFS securities deemed to be OTT for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, AC recognized a $19.1 million OTT on the GBL shares due to the magnitude and persistence of the unrealized loss. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reflected $0.3 million of losses on AFS securities deemed to be OTT. At September 30, 2017, two holdings with unrealized losses were not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to the length of time that they had been in a loss position and our evaluation of issuer-specific and industry-specific considerations. One of these investments was a closed-end fund with diversified holdings across multiple companies and industries. This holding was impaired for nine months at September 30, 2017. The second holding was the GBL stock that was, as noted above, deemed to have an “other than temporary impairment” during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, but which has subsequently had further unrealized losses. These further losses were not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The value of the two holdings at September 30, 2017 was $132.4 million. If these holdings continue to be impaired, we may need to record this impairment in a future period on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the amount of the unrealized losses which was $0.3 million at September 30, 2017. At December 31, 2016, there was one holding in an unrealized loss position which was not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to the length of time that it had been consecutively in a loss position and our evaluation of issuer-specific and industry-specific considerations. This holding was a common stock and was impaired for seven consecutive months. The fair value of this holding exceeded its cost during the year ended December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2016, there were two holdings in unrealized loss positions that were not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to the length of time that they had been in a loss position and our evaluation of issuer-specific and industry-specific considerations. One of these investments was a closed-end fund with diversified holdings across multiple companies and industries that had been impaired for one month. The second holding was a common stock that had been impaired for four months. |

Investments in Partnerships, Offshore Funds and Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") | D. Investments in Partnerships, Offshore Funds and Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) The Company is general partner or co-general partner of various affiliated entities in which the Company has investments totaling $122.6 million, $112.3 million and $113.4 million at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively, and whose underlying assets consist primarily of marketable securities (“Affiliated Entities”). We also have investments in unaffiliated entities of $18.5 million, $17.1 million and $14.8 million at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively (“Unaffiliated Entities”). On a quarterly basis, we evaluate each entity to determine the appropriate accounting treatment and related disclosures. If an entity qualifies as a variable interest entity (a “VIE”), we consolidate it if: (a) we are its primary beneficiary and absorb the majority of expected losses and receive the majority of expected gains; and (b) the unaffiliated investors lack substantive rights to either dissolve the entity or remove the general partner. If an entity qualifies as a voting interest entity (a “VOE”), we consolidate it if we control the entity through a majority voting interest or other means. Based on the consolidation guidance, we have determined that three and two entities are required to be consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Certain of the consolidated entities invest their assets in other investment funds (a “Consolidated Feeder Fund” or “CFF”). Because the CFFs are investment companies under GAAP, they retain their specialized accounting and reflect their investments at fair value as described in Note C. The following table highlights the number of entities that we consolidate as well as the basis under which they are consolidated:

Variable Interest Entities With respect to each consolidated VIE, its assets may only be used to satisfy its obligations. The investors and creditors of these VIEs have no recourse to the Company’s general assets. In addition, the Company neither benefits from the VIE’s assets nor bears the related risks beyond its beneficial interest in the VIE. The following table presents the balances of the VIE that is consolidated at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016 and included on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as well as AC Group’s net interest in the VIE:

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | E. Income Taxes The effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was 4.8% and 31.0%, respectively. The ETR in the third quarter of 2017 differs from the standard corporate tax rate of 34% primarily due to the benefit of (a) the adoption of ASU 2016-09 (as discussed below) and (b) the dividends received deduction. The ETR in the third quarter of 2016 differs from the standard corporate tax rate of 34% primarily due to the benefit of the dividends received deduction. The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was 55.1% and 28.8%, respectively. The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily differs from the standard corporate tax rate as a result of the benefit of (a) the adoption of ASU 2016-09, (b) the contribution of appreciated securities, and (c) the dividends received deduction. Due to the loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the tax benefits noted above increase the ETR to 55.1%. The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 differs from the standard corporate tax rate of 34% primarily due to the benefit of the dividends received deduction. Since the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was a profit, the tax benefit reduced the ETR to 28.8%. ASU 2016-09, which we adopted on January 1, 2017, simplifies several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. Under ASU 2016-09, we recognize the tax benefit of the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes as part of income tax expense rather than additional paid-in capital. |

Earnings Per Share | F. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) per share attributable to our shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) per share attributable to our shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of restricted stock awards. The computations of basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share are as follows:

Stockholders' Equity | G. Stockholders’ Equity Shares outstanding were 23.8 million, 24.3 million and 25.4 million on September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and September 30, 2016, respectively. Dividends During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company declared dividends of $0.10 per share to class A and class B shareholders. Voting Rights The holders of Class A Common stock (“Class A Stock”) and Class B Common stock (“Class B Stock”) have identical rights except that (a) holders of Class A Stock are entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B Stock are entitled to ten votes per share on all matters to be voted on by shareholders in general, and (b) holders of each share class are not eligible to vote on matters relating exclusively to the other share class. Stock Award and Incentive Plan The Company maintains one stock award and incentive plan (the “Plan”) approved by the shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting held on May 3, 2016. The Plan seeks to provide incentives which will attract and retain individuals key to the success of AC through direct or indirect ownership of our common stock. Benefits under the Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, dividend equivalents and other stock or cash based awards. A maximum of 2.0 million shares of Class A Stock have been reserved for issuance under the Plan. On November 30, 2015, in connection with the Spin-off, the Company issued RSAs for 554,100 shares (“AC RSAs”) to employees who held RSAs for 554,100 GAMCO shares (“GAMCO RSAs”). All grants of the AC RSAs were recommended by the Company's Executive Chairman, who did not receive any RSAs, and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The value of the AC RSAs, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense over the respective vesting period which is either (1) five years (30% three years and 70% five years from the date of grant, respectively), or (2) ten years (30% three years and 10% each year thereafter from the date of grant, respectively). During the vesting period, dividends to RSA holders are held for them until the RSA vesting dates and are forfeited if the grantee is no longer employed by the Company on the vesting dates. Dividends declared on these RSAs, less estimated forfeitures, are charged to retained earnings on the declaration date. The AC RSAs are in addition to any GAMCO RSAs which an employee held on the date of the Spin-off. The value of the GAMCO RSAs held by AC employees is recognized as expense by the Company over the remaining vesting period because the employees’ services are for the benefit of the Company. Terms of the GAMCO RSAs are the same as those of the AC RSAs above. As of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, there were 424,340 AC RSA shares and 427,290 AC RSA shares outstanding, respectively. On June 1, 2017, the Compensation Committee of AC accelerated the vesting of all 420,240 outstanding AC RSAs effective June 15, 2017. As a result, the Company incurred incremental stock-based compensation of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. On August 7, 2017, the compensation committee of GAMCO’s Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of 201,120 GAMCO RSAs outstanding effective August 31, 2017. As a result, AC recorded an incremental $1.6 million of stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 attributable to the GAMCO RSAs held by AC employees. There continue to be 164,050 GAMCO RSAs outstanding that were not vested as part of this acceleration, and the Company will recognize expense as these RSAs continue to vest. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $5.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Please note that the Company’s stock-based compensation expense also includes an allocation of GAMCO related stock-based compensation expense with respect to GAMCO teammates who provide services to the Company under our services agreements with GAMCO. Actual and projected stock-based compensation expense for RSA shares for the years ended December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2024 (based on AC and GAMCO awards currently issued or granted) is as follows (in thousands):
The total projected compensation cost allocated to the Company related to non-vested GAMCO RSAs not yet recognized is approximately $0.7 million as of September 30, 2017. |

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets | H. Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets At September 30, 2017, $3.4 million of goodwill related to GCIA is separately disclosed on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill at least annually, or more often should events warrant, using a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred to determine if a quantitative analysis is required. There were no indicators of impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016, and as such there was no impairment analysis performed or charge recorded. |

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | I. Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company may be named in legal actions and proceedings. These actions may seek substantial or indeterminate compensatory as well as punitive damages or injunctive relief. The Company is also subject to governmental or regulatory examinations or investigations. The examinations or investigations could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, injunctions, restitutions or other relief. For any such matters, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the necessary provisions for losses that the Company believes are probable and estimable. Furthermore, the Company evaluates whether there exist losses which may be reasonably possible and will, if material, make the necessary disclosures. However, management believes such amounts, both those that are probable and those that are reasonably possible, are not material to the Company’s financial condition, operations or cash flows at September 30, 2017. The Company indemnifies the clearing brokers of G.research for losses they may sustain from the customer accounts that trade on margin introduced by it. At September 30, 2017, the total amount of customer balances subject to indemnification (i.e. unsecured margin debits) was immaterial. The Company has also entered into arrangements with various other third parties many of which provide for indemnification of the third parties against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of obligations under the agreements. The Company has had no claims or payments pursuant to these or prior agreements and believes the likelihood of a claim being made is remote. The Company’s estimate of the value of such obligations is de minimis, and therefore no accrual has been made on the condensed consolidated financial statements. |

On February 8, 2017, the Company announced it had again adopted a Shareholder Designated Charitable Contribution program for all registered Class A and Class B shareholders. The Company recorded a cost of $4.9 million related to this contribution which was included in shareholder-designated contribution in the condensed consolidated statements of income. |

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
The Spin-off and Related Transactions | The Spin-off and Related Transactions We are a Delaware corporation that provides alternative investment management, institutional research and underwriting services. In addition, we derive investment income/(loss) from proprietary trading of cash and other assets awaiting deployment in our operating businesses. On November 30, 2015, GAMCO Investors, Inc. (“GAMCO” or “GBL”) distributed all the outstanding shares of each class of AC common stock on a pro rata one-for-one basis to the holders of each class of GAMCO’s common stock (the “Spin-off”). We conduct our investment management business through Gabelli & Company Investment Advisers, Inc. (“GCIA” f/k/a Gabelli Securities, Inc.). GCIA and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gabelli & Partners, LLC (“Gabelli & Partners”), collectively serve as general partners or investment managers to investment funds including limited partnerships and offshore companies (collectively, “Investment Partnerships”), and separate accounts. We primarily manage assets in equity event-driven value strategies, across a range of risk and event arbitrage portfolios. The business earns management and incentive fees from its advisory assets. Management fees are largely based on a percentage of assets under management. Incentive fees are based on the percentage of the investment returns of certain clients’ portfolios. GCIA is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. We provide our institutional research and underwriting services through G.research, LLC (“G.research”) doing business as “Gabelli & Company”, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. G.research is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and is regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). G.research's revenues are derived primarily from institutional research services. In connection with the Spin-off, GAMCO issued a promissory note (the “GAMCO Note”) to AC Group in the original principal amount of $250 million used to partially capitalize the Company. The GAMCO Note bears interest at 4% per annum and has a maturity date of November 30, 2020 with respect to its original principal amount. Interest on the GAMCO Note will accrue from the most recent date for which interest has been paid. Prior to November 30, 2019, at the election of GAMCO, payment of interest on the GAMCO Note may, in lieu of being paid in cash, be paid, in whole or in part, in kind (a “PIK Amount”). GAMCO will repay all PIK Amounts added to the outstanding principal amount of the GAMCO Note, in cash, on the fifth anniversary of the date on which each such PIK Amount was added to the outstanding principal amount of the GAMCO Note. GAMCO may prepay the GAMCO Note prior to maturity without penalty. AC has received principal repayments totaling $180 million on the GAMCO Note, of which $10 million was received during the three months ended September 30, 2017 leaving an outstanding principal balance of $70 million. After application of the principal payments, $20 million and $50 million are due on November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2020, respectively. In addition, GCIA purchased 4,393,055 shares of GAMCO Class A common stock in exchange for a note in the principal amount of $150 million (the “GCIA Note”). In connection with the Spin-off, GAMCO contributed the GCIA Note to the Company. As a result,the GCIA Note is now an intercompany obligation within the AC Group. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of AC Group included herein have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AC Group and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported on the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Reclassification | Reclassification The Company has reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. For presentation of 2017 results, the Company reported revenue from its research services agreement with GAMCO in “Institutional Research Services Revenue” instead of “Other Revenue”. The reclassification did not impact revenue, operating expenses, operating income, net income, or equity. |
Recent Accounting Developments | Recent Accounting Developments On May 10, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. For all entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. This ASU, which we did not early adopt, nonetheless would not have impacted the accounting for the acceleration of vesting of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. For public companies, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2017 and applied this standard during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in relation to an acceleration of vesting of RSAs during the period. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the Codification. The core principle of the new ASU No. 2014-09 is for companies to recognize revenue from the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In March 2016, the FASB issued revised guidance which clarifies the guidance related to (a) determining the appropriate unit of account under the revenue standard’s principal versus agent guidance and (b) applying the indicators of whether an entity is a principal or an agent in accordance with the revenue standard’s control principle. In April 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to provide more detailed guidance including additional implementation guidance and examples related to (a) identifying performance obligations and (b) licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB amended the standard to clarify the guidance on assessing collectability, presenting sales taxes, measuring noncash consideration, and certain transition matters. This new guidance will be effective for the Company's first quarter of 2018 and requires either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. The Company’s implementation analysis is ongoing; however, it does not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a significant effect on the timing of the recognition of revenue. The Company is currently evaluating performance obligations and the related transaction costs. The Company is also reviewing and preparing for the enhanced disclosure requirements of the standard. The overall effect upon adoption may change based on further analysis and implementation efforts. The Company has not yet determined which transition method it will use. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which amends the guidance in GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Although the ASU retains many current requirements, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (a) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (b) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The ASU also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. For public companies, the new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. To adopt the amendments, entities will be required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which adds and clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the consolidated statements of cash flows. For public companies, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 to simplify the process used to test for goodwill. Under the new standard, if “the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.” For public companies, the ASU is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for impairment tests that occur after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Investments in Securities | Management determines the appropriate classification of debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of the date of each consolidated statement of financial condition. Investments in United States Treasury Bills and Notes with maturities of greater than three months at the time of purchase are classified as investments in securities, and those with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The portion of investments in securities held for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are stated at fair value, with any unrealized gains or losses reported in current period earnings. Available for sale (“AFS”) investments are stated at fair value, with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, reported as a component of equity except for losses deemed to be other-than- temporary (“OTT”) which are recorded as realized losses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. In addition, realized gains and losses from AFS securities are reclassified from equity to current period income.
