This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result in an
increase
from the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite
effect.
Significant increases and decreases in these unobservable inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher
or
lower fair value measurements. | |||||
