value policies at the underlying fund generally require the fund to utilize pricing/valuation information from third-party sources, including independent appraisals.
However, in some instances, current valuation information for illiquid securities or securities in markets that are not active may not be available from any third-party source or fund management may conclude that the valuations that are available from third-party sources are not reliable.
In these instances, fund management may perform model-based analytical valuations that could be used as an input to value these investments.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily for purposes of hedging exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of certain assets and liabilities, and market exposures for certain seed investments.
However, certain consolidated sponsored investment funds may also utilize derivatives as a part of their investment strategy.
Changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings and, where applicable, are offset by the corresponding gain or loss on the related foreign-denominated assets or liabilities or hedged investments, on the consolidated statements of income.
The Company may also use financial instruments designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes to hedge net investments in international subsidiaries whose functional currency is not U. S.  dollars.
The gain or loss from revaluing accounting hedges of net investments in foreign operations at the spot rate is deferred and reported within accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
The Company reassesses the effectiveness of its net investment hedge on a quarterly basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted in 2017 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”).
ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.
The guidance also changes the accounting for certain contract costs and revises the criteria for determining if an entity is acting as a principal or agent in certain arrangements.
The key changes in the standard that impact the Company’s revenue recognition relate to the presentation of certain revenue contracts and associated contract costs.
The most significant of these changes relates to the presentation of certain distribution costs, which are currently presented net against revenues (contra-revenue) and will be presented as an expense on a gross basis.
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis, which will require 2016 and 2017 to be restated in future filings.
The cumulative effect adjustment to the 2016 opening retained earnings was not material.
The Company currently expects the net gross up to revenue to be approximately $1 billion with a corresponding gross up to expense for both 2016 and 2017.
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”).
ASU 2016-01 amends guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including significant revisions in accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in certain equity securities.
ASU 2016-01 also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments.
The reclassification of unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings was not material upon adoption effective January 1, 2018.
Leases.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from most operating leases on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
The Company expects to record assets and liabilities for its current operating leases upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and the Company intends to apply the practical expedients allowed by the standard upon transition.
Cash Flow Classification.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which amends and clarifies the current guidance to reduce diversity in practice of the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated statement of cash flows.
ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018.
The Company must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented.3.

The fair value of the outstanding derivatives mentioned above were not material to the consolidated statements of financial condition at December 31, 2017 and 2016.
