Disclosures of Fair Value for Financial Instruments Not Held at Fair Value . At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments not held at fair value are categorized in the table below: June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (in millions) Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Fair Value Hierarchy Financial Assets (1) Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,481 $ 6,481 $ 9,323 $ 9,323 Level 1 (2) (3) Other assets $ 44 $ 44 $ 22 $ 22 Level 1 (2) (4) Financial Liabilities: Long-term borrowings $ 6,635 $ 6,102 $ 7,446 $ 7,735 Level 2 (5) (1) See Note 5, Investments (2) Cash and cash equivalents are carried at either cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. (3) At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $1.7 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, of money market funds were recorded within cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Money market funds are valued based on quoted market prices, or $1.00 per share, which generally is the NAV of the fund. (4) Other assets include restricted cash and cash collateral deposited with certain derivative counterparties. (5) Long-term borrowings are recorded at amortized cost, net of debt issuance costs. The fair value of the long-term borrowings, including the current portion of long-term borrowings, is determined using market prices and the EUR/USD foreign exchange rate at the end of June 2022 and December 2021, respectively. See Note 14, Borrowings Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate NAV Per Share As a practical expedient to value certain investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and have attributes of an investment company, the Company uses NAV as the fair value. The following tables list information regarding all investments that use a fair value measurement to account for both their financial assets and financial liabilities in their calculation of a NAV per share (or equivalent).
