Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures regarding certain fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy for measuring fair value, as follows: • Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities • Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable • Level 3 – unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity Our strategic investment in InvestCloud discussed in Note 6 "Investments" is excluded from the recurring fair value table shown below, as we have elected to apply the measurement alternative for that investment. The following table summarizes the values of our assets and liabilities as of the dates indicated within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Measured at NAV (1) Total As of December 31, 2022 Investments in trading securities $ 15,342 $ — $ — $ — $ 15,342 Private investment fund — — — 235 235 Private equity — — 2,792 — 2,792 Total assets measured at fair value $ 15,342 $ — $ 2,792 $ 235 $ 18,369 Salient Acquisition contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 12,901 $ — $ 12,901 Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ — $ 12,901 $ — $ 12,901 As of December 31, 2021 Investments in trading securities $ 65,024 $ — $ — $ — $ 65,024 Private investment fund — — — 144 144 Private equity — — 4,369 — 4,369 Total assets measured at fair value $ 65,024 $ — $ 4,369 $ 144 $ 69,537 (1) Comprised of certain investments measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS | REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS: Westwood Trust must maintain cash and investments in an amount equal to the required minimum restricted capital of $4.0 million as required by the Texas Finance Code. Restricted capital is included in Investments in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2022, Westwood Trust had approximately $21.2 million in excess of its minimum capital requirement. Westwood Trust is limited under applicable Texas law in the payment of dividends of undivided profits, which is that part of equity capital equal to the balance of net profits, income, gains and losses since formation minus subsequent distributions to stockholders and transfers to surplus or capital under share dividends or appropriate Board resolutions. At the discretion of its Board of Directors, Westwood Trust may make quarterly and special dividend payments, or other distributions, to Westwood out of its undivided profits. No dividend payments were made in 2022, 2021 or 2020. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | Advisory Fee Revenues Our advisory fees are generated by Westwood Management and Westwood International Advisors (prior to its closure, effective September 30, 2020), for managing client accounts under investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Advisory fees are typically calculated based on a percentage of AUM and AUA, and are paid in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance based on AUM on the last day of the preceding quarter, quarterly in arrears based on AUM on the last day of the quarter just ended or are based on a daily or monthly analysis of AUM for the stated period. We recognize advisory fee revenues as services are rendered. Since our advance paying clients' billing periods coincide with the calendar quarter to which such payments relate, revenue is recognized within the quarter and our Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred advisory fee revenues. Advisory clients typically consist of institutional and mutual fund accounts. Institutional investors include separate accounts of (i) corporate pension and profit sharing plans, public employee retirement funds, Taft-Hartley plans, endowments, foundations and individuals; (ii) sub-advisory relationships where Westwood provides investment management services for funds offered by other financial institutions; (iii) pooled investment vehicles, including the UCITS Fund and collective investment trusts; and (iv) managed account relationships with brokerage firms and other registered investment advisors that offer Westwood products to their customers. The UCITS Fund was liquidated in June 2020. Mutual funds include the Westwood Funds®, a family of mutual funds for which Westwood Management serves as advisor. These funds are available to individual investors, as well as offered as part of our suite of investment strategies for institutional investors and wealth management accounts. Arrangements with Performance-Based Obligations A limited number of our advisory clients have a contractual performance-based fee component in their contracts, which generates additional revenues if we outperform a specified index over a specific period of time, and a limited number of our mutual fund offerings have fees that generate additional revenues if we outperform specified indices over specific periods of time. The revenue is based on future market performance and is subject to many factors outside our control. We cannot conclude that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized will not occur during the measurement period, and therefore the revenue is recorded at the end of the measurement period when the performance obligation has been satisfied. Trust Fee Revenues Our trust fees are generated by Westwood Trust pursuant to trust or custodial agreements. Trust fees are separately negotiated with each client and are generally based on a percentage of AUM. Westwood Trust also provides trust services to a small number of clients on a fixed fee basis. The fees for most of our trust clients are calculated quarterly in arrears, based on a daily average of AUM for the quarter, or monthly, based on the month-end value of AUM. Since billing periods for most of Westwood Trust’s clients coincide with the calendar quarter, revenue is fully recognized within the quarter and our Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred fee revenues. Revenue Disaggregated Sales taxes are excluded from revenues. The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by account type (in thousands).

EARNINGS PER SHARE | EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of any dilutive shares of restricted stock granted to employees and non- employee directors. There were approximately 120,000, 116,000 and 381,000 anti-dilutive restricted shares as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract] | |
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES | VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES: As discussed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the CTFs and Private Funds (together the “Westwood VIEs”) are considered VIEs, and the Westwood Funds® and Private Equity are considered VOEs (together the “Westwood VOEs”). We receive fees for managing assets in these entities commensurate with market rates. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we evaluated all of the Westwood VIEs and Westwood VOEs to determine whether or not we should consolidate the entities into our Consolidated Financial Statements. For the Westwood VIEs, we evaluated whether or not we qualify as the primary beneficiary based on whether we have the obligation to absorb significant losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and concluded that we do not qualify as a primary beneficiary for those entities. For the Westwood VOEs, we evaluated whether or not we own a controlling financial interest in the entities, and we concluded that we do not. Based on our analyses, we have not consolidated the Westwood VIEs or Westwood VOEs into our Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. We have not otherwise provided any financial support that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide and there are no arrangements that would require us to provide additional financial support to any of these entities. Our seed investments in the Westwood Funds® are accounted for as investments in accordance with our other investments described in Note 6 “Investments.” We recognized fee revenue from the Westwood VIEs and Westwood VOEs of approximately $23.2 million, $22.8 million and $19.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: Some of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates invest personal funds directly in trust accounts that we manage. At both December 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021, there was approximately $0.1 million in fees due from these accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded trust fees from these accounts of $0.3 million. For both of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded trust fees from these accounts of $0.4 million. One director serves as a consultant to the Company under a consulting agreement for which we recorded expenses of $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company engages in transactions with its affiliates as part of its operations. Westwood International Advisors (prior to its closure, effective September 30, 2020) and Westwood Management provide investment advisory services to the UCITS Fund (prior to its liquidation in June 2020) and the Westwood Funds®. Certain members of our management served on the board of directors of the UCITS Fund before its liquidation. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreements, the Company earned quarterly fees paid by clients of the fund or by the funds directly. The fees are based on negotiated fee schedules applied to AUM. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we did not record any fees from the affiliated Funds. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded fees from the affiliated Funds of $0.9 million, which are included in “Asset-based advisory fees” on our Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, all of these fees had been collected. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT REPORTING | SEGMENT REPORTING: We operate two segments: Advisory and Trust. These segments are managed separately based on the types of products and services offered and their related client bases. The Company’s segment information is prepared on the same basis that management uses to review the financial information for operational decision-making purposes. The Company's chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of our segments based primarily on fee revenues and Economic Earnings, a non-GAAP measurement. We define Economic Earnings as net income (loss) plus non-cash stock-based compensation expense, impairment expense, amortization of intangible assets, currency translation adjustment reclassification and deferred taxes related to goodwill. Although depreciation on fixed assets is a non-cash expense, we do not add it back when calculating Economic Earnings because depreciation charges represent an allocation of the decline in the value of the related assets that will ultimately require replacement. In addition, we do not adjust Economic Earnings for tax deductions related to restricted stock expense or amortization of intangible assets. Westwood Holdings Group, Inc., the parent company of Advisory and Trust, does not have revenues and is the entity in which we record typical holding company expenses including employee compensation and benefits for holding company employees, directors’ fees and investor relations costs. All segment accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment balances that eliminate in consolidation have been applied to the appropriate segment. Advisory Our Advisory segment provides investment advisory services to (i) corporate pension and profit sharing plans, public employee retirement funds, Taft-Hartley plans, endowments, foundations and individuals, (ii) sub-advisory relationships where Westwood provides investment management services to the Westwood Funds®, funds offered by other financial institutions and funds offered by our Trust segment and (iii) pooled investment vehicles, including the UCITS Fund (liquidated in June 2020) and collective investment trusts. Salient and Westwood Management, which provide investment advisory services to similar clients, are included in our Advisory segment. Westwood International Advisors (prior to its closure, effective September 30, 2020), is included in our Advisory segment. Trust Westwood Trust provides trust and custodial services and participation in common trust funds that it sponsors to institutions and high net worth individuals. Westwood Trust is included in our Trust segment.

Principles of consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Westwood and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. We assess each legal entity that we manage to determine whether consolidation is appropriate at the onset of the relationship. We first determine whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), or a voting interest entity (“VOE”), under GAAP and whether we have a controlling financial interest in the entity. Assessing whether or not an entity is a VOE or VIE and if it requires consolidation involves judgment and analysis. Factors considered in this assessment include, but are not limited to, the legal organization of the entity, our equity ownership and contractual involvement with the entity and any related party or de facto agent implications of our involvement with the entity. We reconsider whether entities are a VIE or VOE whenever contractual arrangements change, the entity receives additional equity or returns equity to its investors or changes in facts and circumstances occur that change investors’ abilities to direct the activities of the entity. A VIE is an entity in which (i) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to enable the entity to finance its activities without subordinated financial support, (ii) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (iii) the entity is structured with disproportionate voting rights, and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. That is, the at-risk equity holders do not have the obligation to absorb significant losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. An enterprise must consolidate all VIEs of which it is the primary beneficiary. We determine if a sponsored investment meets the definition of a VIE by considering whether the fund’s equity investment at risk is sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and whether the fund’s at-risk equity holders absorb any losses, have the right to receive residual returns and have the right to direct the activities of the entity most responsible for the entity’s economic performance. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is defined as the party that, considering the involvement of related parties and de facto agents, has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This evaluation is updated on a continuing basis. A VOE is an entity that is outside the scope of the guidance for VIEs. Consolidation of a VOE is required when a reporting entity owns a controlling financial interest in a VOE. Ownership of a majority of the voting interests is the usual condition for a controlling financial interest. We evaluated (i) our relationship as sponsor of the Common Trust Funds (“CTFs”) and managing member of the private equity funds Westwood Hospitality and Westwood Technology Opportunities Fund I, LP (collectively the “Private Funds”), (ii) our advisory relationships with the Westwood Funds® and (iii) our investments in InvestCloud, Charis, Broadmark, Zarvona Energy Fund GP and Zarvona Energy Fund II-A as discussed in Note 6 “Investments” (“Private Equity”) to determine whether each of these entities is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or voting ownership entity (“VOE”). Based on our analyses, we determined that the CTFs, Private Funds and Zarvona Energy Fund II-A were VIEs, as the at-risk equity holders do not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities' economic performance, and the Company and its representatives have a majority control of the entities' respective boards of directors and can influence the respective entities' management and affairs. As we do not qualify as primary beneficiaries for those entities we have not consolidated our investments in those entities for the periods ending December 31, 2022 and 2021. Based on our analyses, we determined the Westwood Funds®, InvestCloud, Charis, Zarvona Energy Fund GP and Broadmark (i) have sufficient equity at risk to finance the entities' activities independently, (ii) have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to direct the activities of the entities that most significantly impact the entities' economic performance and (iii) are not structured with disproportionate voting rights and are VOEs. As we do not own controlling financial interests in those entities we have not consolidated our investments in those entities for the periods ending December 31, 2022 and 2021. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market accounts and other short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, other than pooled investment vehicles that are considered investments. We maintain some cash and cash equivalents balances with financial institutions that are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced losses on uninsured cash accounts. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represents balances arising from services provided to customers and are recorded on an accrual basis, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company’s historical amounts written off, existing conditions in the industry, and the financial stability of the customer. The majority of our accounts receivable balances consist of advisory and trust fees receivable from customers that we believe are, and have experienced to be, fully collectible. Accordingly, our Consolidated Financial Statements include neither an allowance for bad debt, nor bad debt expense. |
Investments | Investments With the exception of our investment in Charis, discussed below under "Fair Value of Financial Instruments", investments that are measured at fair market value are classified as trading securities and are carried at quoted market values on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net unrealized holding gains or losses on investments classified as trading securities are reflected as a component of other revenues. We measure realized gains and losses on investments using the specific identification method. For an investment without a readily determinable fair value, the Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative of cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. The Company will reassess whether such an investment qualifies for the measurement alternative at each reporting period. In evaluating an |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments We determined the estimated fair values of our financial instruments using available information. The fair value amounts discussed in Notes 6 “Investments” and 7 “Fair Value Measurements” are not necessarily indicative of either the amounts realizable upon disposition of these instruments or of our intent or ability to dispose of these assets. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid income taxes, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, compensation and benefits payable and income taxes payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of investments designated as “trading” securities, primarily U.S. Government and Government agency obligations, money market funds, equity funds, equities and exchange-traded bond funds, equals fair value based on prices quoted in active markets and, with respect to funds, the reported net asset value (“NAV”) of the shares held. Market values of our money market holdings generally do not fluctuate. Our investment in Westwood Hospitality is measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient. Our investment in Charis is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a market approach based on a price to tangible book value multiple that is determined to be reasonable in the current environment, or market transactions. Management believes this valuation methodology is consistent with the banking industry and will reevaluate our methodology and inputs on a quarterly basis. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired assets over the fair value of the underlying identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment. We test more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. These indicators include declines in revenues, earnings or cash flows, or the development of a material adverse change in the business climate. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, which is referred to as a component. We have identified two reporting units, which are consistent with our reporting segments: Advisory and Trust. The Company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless we determine that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than the carrying amount. We assess goodwill for impairment using either a qualitative or quantitative assessment. The qualitative assessment includes consideration of the current trends in the industry in which we operate, macroeconomic conditions and recent financial performance of our reporting units. The quantitative analysis requires a comparison of each reporting unit’s carrying value to the fair value of the respective unit. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a market multiple approach and an income approach. Following a sustained decline in the Company's market capitalization, we determined in 2020 that the entire goodwill related to our Advisory segment was impaired, and accordingly we recorded charges of $3.4 million to "Impairment expense" on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As part of our evaluation, we determined the fair value of each of our reporting units using a weighted average approach of the market and income approaches. As part of the 2020 Advisory reporting unit assessment, we determined that an increase in the discount rate (from the prior assessment) applied in the valuation was required to align with market-based assumptions. The higher discount rate, in conjunction with revised long-term projections, resulted in a lower fair value of the Advisory segment. We completed our most recent annual goodwill impairment assessment during the third quarter of 2022, and determined that no goodwill impairment related to the Trust segment was required. There was no goodwill impairment in the Trust segment during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets (from 3 to 7 years), and depreciation on leasehold improvements is provided over the lesser of the estimated useful life or lease term using the straight-line method. We capitalize leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, computer hardware and most office equipment purchases. |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when the performance obligation (the investment management and advisory or trust services provided to the client) defined by the investment advisory or sub-advisory agreement is satisfied. For each performance obligation, we determine at contract inception whether the revenue satisfies over time or at a point in time. We derive our revenues from investment advisory fees, trust fees and other sources of revenues such as gains and losses from our seed money investments into net investment strategies. The "Other, net” revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) are the unrealized gains and losses on our seed money investments, and our seed money investments are included in "Investments, at fair value" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our seed money investments were $7.3 million and $57.2 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Advisory and Trust fees are calculated based on a percentage of AUM and AUA, and the performance obligation is realized over the then-current calendar quarter. Once clients receive our investment advisory services we have an enforceable right to payment. Incremental costs to obtain a contract are eligible to be capitalized if the costs are expected to be recovered over the service period. We incur certain incremental costs in obtaining new business and continually evaluate whether costs should be capitalized and amortized over the expected period of benefit of the asset. Certain costs used to fulfill a contract such as the distribution services utilized to sell our Westwood Funds® are expensed as incurred. We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. |
Stock Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation We have issued restricted stock to certain U.S. employees and Board of Directors in accordance with our Eighth Amended and Restated Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation and adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting effective January 1, 2017. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at grant date and is recognized over the relevant service period. We expense the fair value of stock-based compensation awards granted to our employees and directors in our Consolidated Financial Statements on a straight-line basis over the period that services are required to be provided in exchange for the award (“requisite service period”), which is typically the period over which the award vests. Stock-based compensation is recognized only for awards that vest. We measure the fair value of compensation cost related to restricted stock awards based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. For performance-based share awards, we assess actual performance versus the predetermined performance goals and record compensation expense once we conclude it is probable that we will meet the performance goals required to vest the applicable performance-based awards. The Share Award Plan of Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. for Service Provided in Canada to its Subsidiaries (the “Canadian Plan”) provided compensation in the form of common stock for services performed by employees of Westwood International Advisors, prior to its 2020 closure. We recorded compensation costs for these awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period once we determined it was probable that the award would be earned. Awards expected to be settled in shares were funded into a trust pursuant to an established Canadian employee benefit plan. Generally, the Canadian trust subsequently acquired Westwood common shares in market transactions and held such shares until the shares were vested and distributed, or forfeited. Shares held in the trust were shown on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as treasury shares. Until shares were acquired by the trust, we recorded compensation costs and measured the liability as a cash-based award, which was included in “Compensation and benefits payable” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 there was no compensation expense recorded for these awards. When the number of shares related to an award was determinable, the award became an equity award accounted for in a manner similar to restricted stock, which is described in Note 8 “Employee Benefits.” |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We file a U. S. federal income tax return as a consolidated group for Westwood and its U.S.-based subsidiaries. We file a Canadian income tax return for Westwood International Advisors. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statements and income tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured at enacted income tax rates. Deferred income tax expense is generally the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes relate primarily to incentive compensation and stock-based compensation expense. We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe such assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future, we would record a valuation allowance. No such valuation allowance has been recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We account for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the impact of a tax position in our Consolidated Financial Statements when we believe it is more likely than not that the tax position would not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate tax authority based on the merits of the position. We include penalties and interest on income-based taxes, if any, in the “General and administrative” line on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). See Note 9 “Income Taxes.” Business Combinations In allocating the purchase price of a business combination, the Company records all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value, with the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values recorded as goodwill. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. To the extent the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such excess is allocated to goodwill. The Company determines the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired is based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisition. The Company adjusts the preliminary purchase price allocation, as necessary, during the measurement period of up to one year after the acquisition closing date as it obtains more information as to facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and are expensed as incurred. The acquired client relationships, trade names and non-compete agreements are subject to fair value measurements based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent level 3 measurements. The valuation of an acquired client relationship utilizes an income approach, which provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on discounted cash flows and management estimates, including the estimated growth associated with existing clients, market growth and client attrition. The valuation of acquired trade names uses a relief from royalty method in which the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated to be the present value of royalties saved because the Company owns the intangible asset. Revenue projections and estimated useful lives are used in estimating the fair value of the trade names. The non-compete agreements are calculated using the differential cash flow method (with-or-without method), which utilizes the probability of certain employees competing with the Company and revenue projections to calculate the valuation of non-competition agreements. When an acquisition includes future contingent consideration on achieving certain milestones, the Company estimates the earn-out fair value using Monte Carlo simulation models. The Monte Carlo simulations considered assumptions including revenue volatility, risk free rates, discount rates and additional revenue discount rates. The projected contingent payment is discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow model. Increases or decreases in projected revenues, probabilities of payment, discount rates or projected payment dates may result in higher or lower fair value measurements. Fluctuations in any of the inputs may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. A liability is recorded for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date, and the fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured at each subsequent reporting period with any change in fair value recognized as income or expense within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of any dilutive shares of restricted stock granted to employees and non- employee directors. There were approximately 120,000, 116,000 and 381,000 anti-dilutive restricted shares as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |||
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | Advisory Fee Revenues Our advisory fees are generated by Westwood Management and Westwood International Advisors (prior to its closure, effective September 30, 2020), for managing client accounts under investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Advisory fees are typically calculated based on a percentage of AUM and AUA, and are paid in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance based on AUM on the last day of the preceding quarter, quarterly in arrears based on AUM on the last day of the quarter just ended or are based on a daily or monthly analysis of AUM for the stated period. We recognize advisory fee revenues as services are rendered. Since our advance paying clients' billing periods coincide with the calendar quarter to which such payments relate, revenue is recognized within the quarter and our Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred advisory fee revenues. Advisory clients typically consist of institutional and mutual fund accounts. Institutional investors include separate accounts of (i) corporate pension and profit sharing plans, public employee retirement funds, Taft-Hartley plans, endowments, foundations and individuals; (ii) sub-advisory relationships where Westwood provides investment management services for funds offered by other financial institutions; (iii) pooled investment vehicles, including the UCITS Fund and collective investment trusts; and (iv) managed account relationships with brokerage firms and other registered investment advisors that offer Westwood products to their customers. The UCITS Fund was liquidated in June 2020. Mutual funds include the Westwood Funds®, a family of mutual funds for which Westwood Management serves as advisor. These funds are available to individual investors, as well as offered as part of our suite of investment strategies for institutional investors and wealth management accounts. Arrangements with Performance-Based Obligations A limited number of our advisory clients have a contractual performance-based fee component in their contracts, which generates additional revenues if we outperform a specified index over a specific period of time, and a limited number of our mutual fund offerings have fees that generate additional revenues if we outperform specified indices over specific periods of time. The revenue is based on future market performance and is subject to many factors outside our control. We cannot conclude that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized will not occur during the measurement period, and therefore the revenue is recorded at the end of the measurement period when the performance obligation has been satisfied. Trust Fee Revenues Our trust fees are generated by Westwood Trust pursuant to trust or custodial agreements. Trust fees are separately negotiated with each client and are generally based on a percentage of AUM. Westwood Trust also provides trust services to a small number of clients on a fixed fee basis. The fees for most of our trust clients are calculated quarterly in arrears, based on a daily average of AUM for the quarter, or monthly, based on the month-end value of AUM. Since billing periods for most of Westwood Trust’s clients coincide with the calendar quarter, revenue is fully recognized within the quarter and our Consolidated Financial Statements contain no deferred fee revenues. Revenue Disaggregated Sales taxes are excluded from revenues. The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by account type (in thousands).
