ed returns for similar underlying assets.Identifiable intangibles recognized in acquisition of an investment management business generally include management contracts and investor relationships. Management contracts represent contractual rights to future fee revenue from in-place management contracts that are amortized based upon expected cash flows over the remaining term of the contracts. Investor relationships represent potential fee revenue generated from future reinvestment by existing investors that is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Other intangible assets include trade names, which are recognized as a separate identifiable intangible asset to the extent the Company intends to continue using the trade name post-acquisition. Trade names are valued as the savings from royalty fees that would have otherwise been incurred, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, or not amortized if they are determined to have an indefinite useful life.ImpairmentIdentifiable intangible assets are reviewed periodically to determine if circumstances exist which may indicate a potential impairment. If such circumstances are considered to exist, the Company evaluates if carrying value of the intangible asset is recoverable based upon an undiscounted cash flow analysis. Impairment loss is recognized for the excess, if any, of carrying value over estimated fair value of the intangible asset. An impairment establishes a new basis for the intangible asset and any impairment loss recognized is not subject to subsequent reversal.  In evaluating investment management intangibles for impairment, such as management contracts and investor relationships, the Company considers various factors that may affect future fee revenue, including but not limited to, changes in fee basis, amendments to contractual fee terms, and projected capital raising for future investment vehicles. Indefinite life trade names are impaired if the Company determines that it no longer intends to use the trade name.
