Significant transactions with affiliates include the following:
Fee Revenue—Fee revenue earned from investment vehicles that the Company manages and/or sponsors, the majority of which the Company has an equity interest in, are presented in Note 11. Substantially all fee revenue is from affiliates.
Cost Reimbursements and Recoverable Expenses—The Company receives reimbursements and recovers certain costs paid on behalf of investment vehicles sponsored by the Company, which include: (i) organization and offering costs related to formation and capital raising of the investment vehicles up to specified thresholds; (ii) third party professional fees incurred in performing investment due diligence; and (iii) direct and indirect operating costs for managing the operations of certain investment vehicles and their portfolio companies.
To the extent the Company determines it acts in the capacity of principal in the incurrence of such costs, the reimbursements are included in other income, which totaled $9.0 million, $11.9 million and $10.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. To the extent the Company determines that it acts in the capacity of an agent, the costs incurred and related reimbursements are presented on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations.
Investments or Commitments Transferred—The Company may acquire investments on behalf of prospective sponsored investment vehicles or subscribe to commitments in its sponsored funds on behalf of prospective investors. The investments or commitments are transferred to the investment vehicle or prospective investor when sufficient third party capital, including debt, is raised. The Company may be paid a fee by the investment vehicle or investor, akin to an interest charge, typically calculated as a percentage of the acquisition price of the investment or the commitment amount funded, to compensate the Company for its holding cost. The terms of such arrangements may differ for each sponsored investment vehicle and by investment or investor.
During 2025, the Company subscribed for $209.7 million of commitments in its sponsored funds, for which $111.1 million was funded. These commitments were subsequently assumed by fund investors in 2025, with amounts funded fully recovered plus $2.6 million of ticking fee or interest due to the Company.
Digital Bridge Holdings —Marc Ganzi, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Ben Jenkins, President and Chief Investment Officer of the Company, were former owners of Digital Bridge Holdings, LLC ("DBH") prior to its merger into the Company in July 2019. Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins had retained their equity investments and general partner interests in the portfolio companies of DBH.
With respect to investment vehicles sponsored by the Company for which Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins are invested in their capacity as former owners of DBH, and not in their capacity as employees of the Company, any carried interest entitlement attributed to such investments by Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins as general partner are not subject to continuing vesting provisions and do not represent compensatory arrangements to the Company. Such carried interest allocation to Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins that are unrealized or distributed but unpaid are included in noncontrolling interests on the balance sheet in the amount of $18.0 million at December 31, 2025 and $121.1 million at December 31, 2024. Net carried interest reversal was recorded as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests totaling $103.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and net carried interest allocation was recorded as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests totaling $8.9 million and $42.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2025, a portion of carried interest previously distributed to Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins in their capacity as former owners of DBH would be subject to clawback totaling $6.6 million assuming a hypothetical liquidation of the associated funds at their December 31, 2025 estimated fair values (Note 3), for which Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins would be personally responsible.
Prior to the Company’s acquisition of DBH, Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins had made personal investments in Vantage Data Centers ("Vantage"), a portfolio company of DBH. Vantage SDC, which the Company has an investment in, is a carve out of the stabilized data center portfolio of Vantage's North American business. Additional investments made by the Company in Vantage SDC subsequent to its initial acquisition may trigger future carried interest payments to Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins in connection with their personal investments in Vantage. Such investments made by the Company in Vantage SDC include ongoing payments for the build-out of expansion capacity, including lease-up of the expanded capacity and existing inventory.
Investment in Managed Investment Vehicles—Subject to the Company's related party policies and procedures, certain employees (who may thereafter become former employees) may invest on a discretionary basis in investment vehicles sponsored by the Company, either directly in the vehicle or indirectly through the Company's general partner entities. These investments are not subject to management fees or carried interest, but otherwise bear their proportionate share of other operating expenses of the investment vehicles. Such investments, to the extent they pertain to consolidated investment vehicles and general partner entities, are presented on the consolidated balance sheet within redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in investment entities and totaled $62.0 million at December 31, 2025 and $58.0 million at December 31, 2024. Their proportionate share of net income (loss) from these investments totaled $4.6 million, $7.6 million and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such amounts are reflected in net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statement of operations and exclude their share of carried interest allocation, which is reflected in incentive fee and carried interest compensation expense.
Private Aircraft—Pursuant to Mr. Ganzi’s employment agreement, the Company has agreed to reimburse Mr. Ganzi for the variable costs of business travel on a chartered or private jet (including any aircraft that Mr. Ganzi may partially or fully own), provided that the Company will not reimburse the allocable share (based on the total number of passengers) of such variable costs for any passenger who is not traveling on Company business. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Mr. Ganzi for the cost of up to 100 hours of personal travel, which is treated as a compensatory arrangement. Additionally, the Company has agreed to reimburse Mr. Ganzi for a proportional share of the fixed cash costs of any aircraft partially or fully owned by Mr. Ganzi. The fixed cost reimbursements will be made based on an allocable portion of annual fixed cash operating costs of the aircraft, based on the total number of hours the aircraft is used for Company business and personal hours claimed (up to 100 hours annually) divided by the total hours flown. Expenses incurred on behalf of Mr. Ganzi and expenses reimbursed or are reimbursable to Mr. Ganzi associated with the use of private aircraft (including both aircraft owned by Mr. Ganzi and third party chartered flights) totaled $4.7 million, $8.0 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
