Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, and certain employees for certain liabilities that may arise from performance of their duties to the Company. From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal matters relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. There are currently no such matters pending that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnification obligations. Certain agreements do not contain any limits on the Company’s liability and could involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. Therefore, it is not possible to estimate the Company’s potential liability under these indemnities. Further, the Company maintains insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain of these liabilities. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, for Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (referred to in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements as "the Company," "management," "we," "us," and "our"), have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and with Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations as of the dates, and for the interim periods, presented have been included. These unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the "2020 Form 10-K"), as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company may expect for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”). For further information regarding the risks to the Company's business, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2020 Form 10-K and in “Part II – Item 1A. – Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Company management to make estimates and assumptions related to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassification Certain prior period amounts and disclosures may have been reclassified to conform to the current period's financial presentation. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company holds certain investments in the Funds for general corporate investment purposes, to provide seed capital for newly formed strategies, or to add capital to existing strategies. The Funds are organized in a series fund structure in which there are multiple mutual funds within one trust (the "Trust"). The Trust is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Company performs its consolidation analysis at the individual Fund level and has concluded that the Funds are voting rights entities ("VREs") because the structure of the Funds is such that the shareholders are deemed to have the power through voting rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact each Fund's economic performance. To the extent material, the Funds are consolidated if Company ownership, directly or indirectly, represents a majority interest (greater than 50%). The Company records redeemable noncontrolling interest in consolidated investments for which the Company's ownership is less than 100%. The Company has consolidated the Diamond Hill Large Cap Concentrated Fund, the Diamond Hill International Fund, and the Diamond Hill Global Fund (collectively, the "Consolidated Funds") as of June 30, 2021. DHCM is the investment manager of Diamond Hill Micro Cap Fund, LP (“DHMF”), a Delaware limited partnership, and is the managing member of Diamond Hill Fund GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), which is the general partner of DHMF. DHCM is wholly owned by, and consolidated with, the Company. Further, DHCM, through its control of the General Partner, has the power to direct DHMF’s economic activities and the right to receive investment advisory fees that may be significant to DHMF. DHMF's commenced operations on June 1, 2021 and its underlying assets consist primarily of marketable securities. The Company concluded DHMF was a variable interest entity (“VIE”) given that: (i) DHCM has disproportionately less voting interest than economic interest, and (ii) DHMF's limited partners have full power to remove the General Partner (which is controlled by the Company) due to the existence of substantive kick-out rights. In addition, substantially all of DHMF's activities are conducted on behalf of the General Partner, which has disproportionately few voting rights. The Company concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of DHMF as it lacks the power to control DHMF, since DHMF's limited partners have single-party kick-out rights and can unilaterally remove the General Partner without cause. DHCM’s investments in DHMF are reported as a component of the Company’s investment portfolio, valued at DHCM’s respective share of the net income or loss of DHMF. Gains and losses attributable to changes in the value of DHCM’s interests in DHMF are included in the Company’s reported investment income. The Company’s exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with DHMF is limited to the amount of its investment. DHCM is not obligated to provide, and has not provided, financial or other support to DHMF, other than its investments to date and its contractually provided investment advisory responsibilities. The Company has not provided liquidity arrangements, guarantees, or other commitments to support DHMF’s operations, and DHMF’s creditors and interest holders have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Redeemable noncontrolling interest represents third-party interests in the Consolidated Funds. This interest is redeemable at the option of the investors, and therefore, is not treated as permanent equity. Redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at redemption value, which approximates the fair value each reporting period. Segment Information Management has determined that the Company operates in one business segment, which is providing investment management and administration services to mutual funds, separately managed accounts, sub-advised funds, and a private fund. Therefore, the Company does not present disclosures relating to operating segments in annual or interim financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and money market mutual funds held by DHCM. Accounts Receivable The Company records accounts receivable when they are due and presents them on the balance sheet 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 losses, existing conditions in the industry, and the financial stability of the individual or entity that owes the receivable. No allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary at either June 30, 2021, or December 31, 2020. Accounts receivable from the Funds were $12.8 million as of June 30, 2021, and $10.5 million as of December 31, 2020. Investments Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates its determination for each reporting period. Investments in the funds that DHCM advises, where the Company has neither control nor the ability to exercise significant influence, as well as securities held in the Consolidated Funds are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as investment income (loss) in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Investments classified as equity method investments represent investments in which the Company owns between 20-50% of the outstanding voting interests in the entity or when it is determined that the Company is able to exercise significant influence but not control over the investments. When using the equity method, the Company recognizes its respective share of the investee's net income or loss for the period, which is recorded as investment income in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Property and Equipment Property and equipment, consisting of leasehold improvements, right-of-use lease assets, computer equipment, capitalized software, furniture, and fixtures are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets. Revenue Recognition – General The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a client. The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from DHCM investment advisory and fund administration contracts. Investment advisory and administration fees, generally calculated as a percentage of assets under management ("AUM"), are recorded as revenue as services are performed. In addition to fixed fees based on a percentage of AUM, certain client accounts also provide periodic performance-based fees. Revenue earned during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 under contracts with clients include: Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Investment advisory Mutual fund Total revenue Proprietary funds $ 30,452,474 $ 3,353,226 $ 33,805,700 Sub-advised funds and separately managed accounts 11,263,953 — 11,263,953 $ 41,716,427 $ 3,353,226 $ 45,069,653 Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Investment advisory Mutual fund Total revenue Proprietary funds $ 19,722,742 $ 1,549,936 $ 21,272,678 Sub-advised funds and separately managed accounts 6,976,251 — 6,976,251 $ 26,698,993 $ 1,549,936 $ 28,248,929 Revenue earned during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 under contracts with clients include: Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Investment advisory Mutual fund Total revenue Proprietary funds $ 56,963,175 $ 5,798,556 $ 62,761,731 Sub-advised funds and separately managed accounts 21,322,355 — 21,322,355 $ 78,285,530 $ 5,798,556 $ 84,084,086 Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Investment advisory Mutual fund Total revenue Proprietary funds $ 43,177,305 $ 3,318,001 $ 46,495,306 Sub-advised funds and separately managed accounts 13,679,368 — 13,679,368 $ 56,856,673 $ 3,318,001 $ 60,174,674 Revenue Recognition – Investment Advisory Fees DHCM's investment advisory contracts with clients have a single performance obligation because the contracted services are not separately identifiable from other obligations in the contracts and, therefore, are not distinct. All performance obligations to provide investment advisory services are satisfied over time by DHCM and the Company recognizes revenue through DHCM as time passes. The fees DHCM receives for its services under its investment advisory contracts are based on AUM, which changes based on the value of securities held under each investment advisory contract. These fees are thereby constrained and represent variable consideration, and they are excluded from revenue until the AUM on which DHCM's client is billed is no longer subject to market fluctuations. DHCM also provides services to model delivery programs in which DHCM provides its strategy model portfolio to the program sponsor. DHCM is paid a model delivery fee for its services by the program sponsor at a pre-determined rate based on assets in the program. Model delivery program revenues were $1.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $2.2 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Model delivery program revenue is included in investment advisory fees in the consolidated statements of income. Revenue Recognition – Performance-Based Fees DHCM manages certain client accounts that pay performance-based fees. These fees are calculated based on client investment results over rolling five-year periods. The Company records performance-based fees when it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue will not occur. The Company did not record any performance-based fees during either of the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The table below shows AUM subject to performance-based fees and the amount of performance-based fees that would be recognized based upon investment results as of June 30, 2021: As of June 30, 2021 AUM subject to performance-based fees Unearned performance-based fees Contractual Period Ending: Quarter Ending September 30, 2021 $ 391,510,444 $ 10,715,868 Quarter Ending December 31, 2021 70,457,587 265,240 Total $ 461,968,031 $ 10,981,108 The contractual end dates highlight the time remaining until the performance-based fees are scheduled to be earned. The amount of performance-based fees that would be recognized based upon investments results as of June 30, 2021, will increase or decrease based on future client investment results through the end of the contractual period. The Company cannot assure that it will earn the unearned amounts set forth above. Revenue Recognition – Mutual Fund Administration DHCM has an administrative and transfer agency services agreement with the Funds under which DHCM performs certain services for each Fund. These services include performance obligations such as mutual fund administration, fund accounting, transfer agency, and other related functions. These services are performed concurrently under DHCM's agreement with the Funds, all performance obligations to provide these administrative services are satisfied over time, and the Company recognizes the related revenue as time progresses. Each Fund pays DHCM a fee for performing these services, which is calculated using an annual rate multiplied by the average daily net assets of each respective Fund share class. These fees are thereby constrained and represent variable consideration, and they are excluded from revenue until the AUM on which DHCM bills the Funds is no longer subject to market fluctuations. The Funds have selected and contractually engaged certain vendors to fulfill various services to benefit the Funds’ shareholders or to satisfy regulatory requirements of the Funds. These services include, among others, required shareholder mailings, federal and state registrations, and legal and audit services. In fulfilling a portion of its role under the administration agreement with the Funds, DHCM acts as agent and pays for these services on behalf of the Funds. Each vendor is independently responsible for fulfillment of the services it has been engaged to provide and negotiates its fees and terms directly with the management and board of trustees of the Funds. Each year, the Funds' board of trustees reviews the fee that each Fund pays to DHCM, and specifically considers the contractual expenses that DHCM pays on behalf of the Funds. As a result, DHCM is not involved in the delivery or pricing of these services, and bears no risk related to these services. Revenue has been recorded net of these Fund-related expenses. In addition, DHCM advances the upfront commissions that are paid to brokers who sell Class C shares of the Funds. These advances are capitalized and amortized over 12 months to correspond with the repayments DHCM receives from the principal underwriter to recoup this commission advancement. During the first quarter of 2021, Class C shares were eliminated and converted to Investor Class shares. As a result, no financing activity will be recognized in future periods. Mutual fund administration gross and net revenue are summarized below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Mutual fund administration: Administration revenue, gross $ 8,103,606 $ 4,980,615 $ 15,030,019 $ 10,573,273 Fund related expense (4,750,380) (3,434,966) (9,216,537) (7,262,215) Revenue, net of related expenses 3,353,226 1,545,649 5,813,482 3,311,058 C-Share financing: Broker commission advance repayments — 66,817 33,594 130,359 Broker commission amortization — (62,530) (48,520) (123,416) Financing activity, net — 4,287 (14,926) 6,943 Mutual fund administration revenue, net $ 3,353,226 $ 1,549,936 $ 5,798,556 $ 3,318,001 Income Taxes The Company accounts for current and deferred income taxes through an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company is subject to examination by federal and applicable state and local jurisdictions for various tax periods. The Company’s income tax positions are based on research and interpretations of the income tax laws and rulings in each of the jurisdictions in which it does business. Due to the subjectivity of interpretations of laws and rulings in each jurisdiction, the differences and interplay in tax laws among those jurisdictions, and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the final resolution of complex tax audit matters, the Company’s estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or assessments. The Company regularly assesses its positions with regard to tax exposures and records liabilities for these uncertain tax positions and related interest and penalties, if any, according to the principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes . The Company records interest and penalties within income tax expense on the income statement. See Note 8. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which includes unvested restricted shares. See Note 9. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company determines the fair value of its cash equivalents and certain investments using the following broad levels listed below: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable. Level 3 - Valuations derived from techniques in which significant inputs are unobservable. The Company does not value any investments using Level 3 inputs. These levels are not necessarily indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investments.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Compensation Plans | Compensation Plans Share-Based Payment Transactions The Company issues restricted stock grants under the 2014 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan"). Restricted stock grants represent common shares issued and outstanding upon grant subject to vesting restrictions. The Company has historically issued stock grants that cliff vest after five years to all new employees upon hire and as additional grants to key employees on a periodic basis. While the Company currently plans to continue to issue five-year cliff vest grants to new employees, beginning in 2021, the Company began making new long-term incentive awards to existing employees in the form of three-year graded vesting stock grants. Restricted stock grants issued under the 2014 Plan are valued based upon the fair market value of the common shares on the applicable grant date. The restricted stock grants are recorded as deferred compensation in the equity section of the balance sheet on the grant date and then recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the respective grant. The Company's policy is to adjust compensation expense for forfeitures as they occur. The following table represents a roll-forward of outstanding restricted stock and related activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021: Shares Weighted-Average Outstanding restricted stock as of December 31, 2020 183,718 $ 173.80 Grants issued 67,777 158.05 Grants vested (17,030) 173.69 Grants forfeited (18,397) 169.68 Total outstanding restricted stock as of June 30, 2021 216,068 $ 167.19 As of June 30, 2021, 174,078 common shares remained available for grants under the 2014 Plan. Total deferred equity compensation related to unvested restricted stock was $19.2 million as of June 30, 2021. The recognition of compensation expense related to deferred compensation over the remaining vesting periods is as follows: Six Months 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total $ 4,129,469 $ 7,359,397 $ 5,499,650 $ 1,917,053 $ 314,519 $ 9,737 $ 19,229,825 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company adopted the Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") effective October 27, 2020. Under the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase shares of the Company's common stock at 85% of the fair market value on the last day of each offering period. Each offering period is approximately three months coinciding with the Company's fiscal quarters. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, ESPP participants purchased 3,083 shares of common stock for $0.4 million and the Company recorded $0.1 million of share-based payment expense related to these purchases. Stock Grant Transactions The following table represents common shares issued as part of the Company's incentive compensation program during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, and 2020: Shares Issued Grant Date Value June 30, 2021 3,681 $ 529,806 June 30, 2020 23,640 $ 3,396,359 401(k) Plan The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan in which all employees are eligible to participate. Employees may contribute a portion of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. The Company matches employee contributions equal to 250 percent of the first six percent of an employee’s compensation contributed to the plan. Since January 1, 2021, the Company has settled the 401(k) plan matching contributions in cash or common shares of the Company based on the election of the employees. Prior to January 1, 2021, the Company made all matching contributions in common shares of the Company. Deferred Compensation Plans The Company offers two deferred compensation plans, the Diamond Hill Fixed Term Deferred Compensation Plan and the Diamond Hill Variable Term Deferred Compensation Plan (together, the “Plans”). Under the Plans, participants may elect to voluntarily defer, for a minimum of five years, certain incentive compensation that the Company then contributes into the Plans. Participants are responsible for designating investment options for the assets they contribute, and the distribution paid to each participant reflects any gains or losses on the assets realized in connection with the Plans. Assets held in the Plans are included in the Company’s investment portfolio, and the associated obligation to participants is included in deferred compensation liability. Deferred compensation liability was $34.9 million and $33.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company has determined its interim tax provision projecting an estimated annual effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the statutory federal tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows: Six Months Ended 2021 2020 Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % State and local income taxes, net of federal benefit 4.5 % 4.3 % Internal revenue code section 162 limitations 0.9 % 1.4 % Other — % 2.1 % Unconsolidated effective income tax rate 26.4 % 28.8 % Impact attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest (a) (0.8) % 4.5 % Effective income tax rate 25.6 % 33.3 % (a) The provision for income taxes includes the impact of the operations of the Consolidated Funds, which are not subject to federal income taxes. Accordingly, a portion of the Company’s earnings are not subject to corporate tax levels. Absent the impact attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest, the estimated unconsolidated effective income tax rate would have been 26.4%. The Company's actual effective tax rate for fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 could be materially different from the projected rate as of June 30, 2021. The net temporary differences incurred to date will reverse in future periods as the Company generates taxable earnings. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax assets recorded. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no valuation allowance was deemed necessary. FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes , prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return, and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company recognizes tax benefits related to positions taken, or expected to be taken, on its tax returns, only if the positions are more likely than not sustainable. Once this threshold has been met, the Company’s measurement of its expected tax benefits is recognized in its financial statements. The Company did not record an accrual for tax related uncertainties or unrecognized tax positions as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, for Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (referred to in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements as "the Company," "management," "we," "us," and "our"), have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and with Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations as of the dates, and for the interim periods, presented have been included. These unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the "2020 Form 10-K"), as filed with the SEC. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Company management to make estimates and assumptions related to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Reclassification | Reclassification Certain prior period amounts and disclosures may have been reclassified to conform to the current period's financial presentation. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company holds certain investments in the Funds for general corporate investment purposes, to provide seed capital for newly formed strategies, or to add capital to existing strategies. The Funds are organized in a series fund structure in which there are multiple mutual funds within one trust (the "Trust"). The Trust is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Company performs its consolidation analysis at the individual Fund level and has concluded that the Funds are voting rights entities ("VREs") because the structure of the Funds is such that the shareholders are deemed to have the power through voting rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact each Fund's economic performance. To the extent material, the Funds are consolidated if Company ownership, directly or indirectly, represents a majority interest (greater than 50%). The Company records redeemable noncontrolling interest in consolidated investments for which the Company's ownership is less than 100%. The Company has consolidated the Diamond Hill Large Cap Concentrated Fund, the Diamond Hill International Fund, and the Diamond Hill Global Fund (collectively, the "Consolidated Funds") as of June 30, 2021. DHCM is the investment manager of Diamond Hill Micro Cap Fund, LP (“DHMF”), a Delaware limited partnership, and is the managing member of Diamond Hill Fund GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), which is the general partner of DHMF. DHCM is wholly owned by, and consolidated with, the Company. Further, DHCM, through its control of the General Partner, has the power to direct DHMF’s economic activities and the right to receive investment advisory fees that may be significant to DHMF. DHMF's commenced operations on June 1, 2021 and its underlying assets consist primarily of marketable securities. The Company concluded DHMF was a variable interest entity (“VIE”) given that: (i) DHCM has disproportionately less voting interest than economic interest, and (ii) DHMF's limited partners have full power to remove the General Partner (which is controlled by the Company) due to the existence of substantive kick-out rights. In addition, substantially all of DHMF's activities are conducted on behalf of the General Partner, which has disproportionately few voting rights. The Company concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of DHMF as it lacks the power to control DHMF, since DHMF's limited partners have single-party kick-out rights and can unilaterally remove the General Partner without cause. DHCM’s investments in DHMF are reported as a component of the Company’s investment portfolio, valued at DHCM’s respective share of the net income or loss of DHMF. Gains and losses attributable to changes in the value of DHCM’s interests in DHMF are included in the Company’s reported investment income. The Company’s exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with DHMF is limited to the amount of its investment. DHCM is not obligated to provide, and has not provided, financial or other support to DHMF, other than its investments to date and its contractually provided investment advisory responsibilities. The Company has not provided liquidity arrangements, guarantees, or other commitments to support DHMF’s operations, and DHMF’s creditors and interest holders have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. |
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest | Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Redeemable noncontrolling interest represents third-party interests in the Consolidated Funds. This interest is redeemable at the option of the investors, and therefore, is not treated as permanent equity. Redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at redemption value, which approximates the fair value each reporting period. |
Segment Information | Segment Information Management has determined that the Company operates in one business segment, which is providing investment management and administration services to mutual funds, separately managed accounts, sub-advised funds, and a private fund. Therefore, the Company does not present disclosures relating to operating segments in annual or interim financial statements. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and money market mutual funds held by DHCM. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts ReceivableThe Company records accounts receivable when they are due and presents them on the balance sheet 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 losses, existing conditions in the industry, and the financial stability of the individual or entity that owes the receivable. |
Investments | Investments Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates its determination for each reporting period. Investments in the funds that DHCM advises, where the Company has neither control nor the ability to exercise significant influence, as well as securities held in the Consolidated Funds are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as investment income (loss) in the Company's consolidated statements of income. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment, consisting of leasehold improvements, right-of-use lease assets, computer equipment, capitalized software, furniture, and fixtures are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition – GeneralThe Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a client. The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from DHCM investment advisory and fund administration contracts. Investment advisory and administration fees, generally calculated as a percentage of assets under management ("AUM"), are recorded as revenue as services are performed. In addition to fixed fees based on a percentage of AUM, certain client accounts also provide periodic performance-based fees. Revenue Recognition – Investment Advisory Fees DHCM's investment advisory contracts with clients have a single performance obligation because the contracted services are not separately identifiable from other obligations in the contracts and, therefore, are not distinct. All performance obligations to provide investment advisory services are satisfied over time by DHCM and the Company recognizes revenue through DHCM as time passes. The fees DHCM receives for its services under its investment advisory contracts are based on AUM, which changes based on the value of securities held under each investment advisory contract. These fees are thereby constrained and represent variable consideration, and they are excluded from revenue until the AUM on which DHCM's client is billed is no longer subject to market fluctuations. DHCM also provides services to model delivery programs in which DHCM provides its strategy model portfolio to the program sponsor. DHCM is paid a model delivery fee for its services by the program sponsor at a pre-determined rate based on assets in the program. Model delivery program revenues were $1.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $2.2 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Model delivery program revenue is included in investment advisory fees in the consolidated statements of income. Revenue Recognition – Performance-Based Fees Revenue Recognition – Mutual Fund Administration DHCM has an administrative and transfer agency services agreement with the Funds under which DHCM performs certain services for each Fund. These services include performance obligations such as mutual fund administration, fund accounting, transfer agency, and other related functions. These services are performed concurrently under DHCM's agreement with the Funds, all performance obligations to provide these administrative services are satisfied over time, and the Company recognizes the related revenue as time progresses. Each Fund pays DHCM a fee for performing these services, which is calculated using an annual rate multiplied by the average daily net assets of each respective Fund share class. These fees are thereby constrained and represent variable consideration, and they are excluded from revenue until the AUM on which DHCM bills the Funds is no longer subject to market fluctuations. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for current and deferred income taxes through an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company is subject to examination by federal and applicable state and local jurisdictions for various tax periods. The Company’s income tax positions are based on research and interpretations of the income tax laws and rulings in each of the jurisdictions in which it does business. Due to the subjectivity of interpretations of laws and rulings in each jurisdiction, the differences and interplay in tax laws among those jurisdictions, and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the final resolution of complex tax audit matters, the Company’s estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or assessments. The Company regularly assesses its positions with regard to tax exposures and records liabilities for these uncertain tax positions and related interest and penalties, if any, according to the principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which includes unvested restricted shares. See Note 9. |
