Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

AllianzGI Strategic Partnership

On February 1, 2021, the Company completed the actions necessary to finalize its strategic partnership with Allianz Global Investors ("AllianzGI"), pursuant to which the Company became the investment adviser, distributor and/or administrator of certain of AllianzGI's open-end, closed-end and retail separate account assets. Additionally, as part of the strategic partnership, AllianzGI’s Dallas-based Value Equity team joined the Company as a newly established affiliated manager, NFJ Investment Group ("NFJ"). Assets acquired in connection with the transaction primarily consisted of definite-lived intangible assets representing open-end, closed-end and retail separate account investment contracts as well as indefinite-lived assets consisting of goodwill related to NFJ. The revenues and operating income of NFJ were not material to the Company's results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Transaction consideration consists of variable cash payments based on a percentage of the investment management fees earned on certain open-end, closed-end and retail separate account assets adopted under the transaction. Payments are to be made annually around the anniversary of the closing date of the transaction over the next seven years. The estimate of these future revenue participation payments of $137.7 million at September 30, 2021 has been recorded as a liability and included as Contingent Consideration on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, the Company capitalized $7.7 million of costs associated with certain assets acquired.
