The Company has an equity-method investment in FATV of approximately $17.2 million and $17.1 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. FATV’s primary purpose is to provide investment returns consistent with the risk of investing in venture capital. FA Technology Ventures Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the investment advisor to FATV. There were no material open commitments to fund this portfolio at June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total Partnership capital for all investors in FATV equaled $71.8 million and $70.9 million, respectively. The Company has been informed that the Partnership has been extended, and is now scheduled to terminate on July 19, 2014. The Partnership is considered a variable interest entity. The Company is not the primary beneficiary, due to other investors’ level of investment in the Partnership. Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated the Partnership in these consolidated financial statements, but has only recorded the fair value of its investment, which also represents the Company’s maximum exposure to loss in the Partnership at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company’s share of management fee income derived from the Partnership for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and were $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Employee Investment Funds (“EIF”) are limited liability companies established by the Company for the purpose of having select employees invest in private equity securities. The EIF is managed by Broadpoint Management Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which has contracted with FATV to act as an investment advisor with respect to funds invested in parallel with the Partnership. The Company has consolidated EIF resulting in approximately $1.2 million and $1.2 million of Investments and a corresponding Payable to others recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Management fees are not material.

Other investments of approximately $2.6 million are investments in privately held companies that were strategically aligned with the operations of the Company conducted at the respective times of investment.
