Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The objective of our use of derivative financial instruments is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our
investments and/or financing transactions. These derivatives may or may not qualify as net investment, cash flow, or fair
value hedges under the hedge accounting requirements of the ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivatives not
designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and other
identified risks. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of the accounting for designated and non-designated hedges.
The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these
contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial
instruments with counterparties that have appropriate credit ratings and are major financial institutions with which we and
our affiliates also have other financial relationships.
Net Investment Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk
Certain of our international investments expose us to fluctuations in foreign interest rates and currency exchange rates.
These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional currency, the U.S.
dollar. We use foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash
flows in terms of the U.S. dollar.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Certain of our financing transactions expose us to a fixed versus floating rate mismatch between our assets and liabilities.
We use derivative financial instruments, which include interest rate swaps (and may also include interest rate caps, interest
rate options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts) to hedge interest rate risk associated with our borrowings
where there is potential for an index mismatch.

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Certain of our corporate financings expose us to fluctuations in the fair value of our outstanding fixed rate debt. We use
derivative financial instruments, which include interest rate swaps, to hedge interest rate risk associated with changes in the
fair value of our fixed rate debt. The changes in the value of the interest rate swap is recognized in earnings and offset the
corresponding changes in the fair value of the debt.

(1)Represents the forward points earned on our foreign currency forward contracts, which reflect the interest rate
differentials between the applicable base rate for our foreign currency investments and prevailing U.S. interest rates.
These forward contracts effectively convert the foreign currency rate exposure for such investments to
USD-equivalent interest rates.
(2)Represents the financial statement impact of proceeds (payments) from periodic settlements related to our interest
rate swap.
(3)Represents the spot rate movement in our non-designated foreign currency hedges, which are marked-to-market and
recognized in interest and related expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. The amounts in the three
and six months ended June 30, 2025 also include a realized loss on an interest rate swap related to our Bank Loan
Portfolio Joint Venture that was entered into during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and subsequently
terminated.

Credit–Risk Related Contingent Features
We have entered into agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where if we were to
default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the
lender, we may also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. In addition, certain of our agreements with our
derivative counterparties require that we post collateral to secure net liability positions. As of June 30, 2026, we were in a
net asset position with our two counterparties related to our foreign exchange hedges and had no collateral posted with such
counterparties. As of June 30, 2026, we were in a net liability position with our two counterparties related to our interest
rate swaps and had $3.3 million collateral posted with such counterparties. As of December 31, 2025, we were in a net
asset position with one of our counterparties and in a net liability position with our other two counterparties related to our
foreign exchange hedges and had $25.3 million of collateral posted with such counterparties.
