In addition to recording other than temporary investment impairments on available-for-sale securities, the Company records lower of cost or market valuation adjustments on private equity fund investments and other cost method investments when impairment conditions are present.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of impairments on other investments. A decline in a security’s net realizable value that is other than temporary is treated as a loss based on quoted or derived market value and is reflected in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
 
Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.  Such a charge could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.
 
The Company is a limited partner in various private equity funds.  At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s carrying value of these private equity fund investments was approximately $220.2 million and $231.4 million, respectively.  At March 31, 2013, the Company had future capital commitments related to these private equity fund investments of approximately $11.9 million.
