Intangible Assets
Consolidated Affiliates
The intangible assets of our consolidated Affiliates consist of definite and indefinite-lived acquired client relationships and goodwill. Definite-lived acquired client relationships are amortized over their expected useful lives. As of June 30, 2013, these relationships were being amortized over a weighted average life of approximately eleven years. The Company recognized amortization expense and a reduction in the carrying value of an indefinite-lived asset at one of its Affiliates of $114.7 million and $145.1 million, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $32.6 million and $65.5 million, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company estimates that its consolidated annual amortization expense will be approximately $100.0 million for each of the next five years, assuming no additional investments in new or existing Affiliates. Other than changes related to foreign currency translation, there were no significant changes to goodwill or indefinite-lived acquired client relationships during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
