In <strong>2012</strong>, CHF 386 million impairment losses were recognised on the goodwill relating to the “AWD”<br />
segment. Therefore, any adverse movement in a key assumption would lead to a further impairment.<br />
The impairment losses under the old management structure would not have been significantly different.<br />
On the carrying amount of goodwill, no other impairment losses were recognised in <strong>2012</strong>, and no<br />
impairment losses were recognised in 2011.<br />
Customer relationships<br />
As at 31 December <strong>2012</strong>, customer relationships comprise customer relationships relating to the<br />
“AWD” segment CHF 35 million (2011: CHF 156 million), “Insurance France” segment CHF 18 million<br />
(2011: CHF 21 million), “Insurance International” segment nil (2011: CHF 20 million) and “Investment<br />
Management” segment CHF 1 million (2011: CHF 2 million). On the customer relationships<br />
relating to AWD, CHF 98 million was recognised as an impairment loss in <strong>2012</strong> due to higher than<br />
originally projected fluctuation rates of financial advisers in Austria and Switzerland. On the customer<br />
relationships relating to “Insurance International” CHF 17 million was recognised as an impairment<br />
loss in <strong>2012</strong>. The impairment loss arose due to the pursued two-carrier strategy with the strong focus<br />
on new business in Luxembourg and Singapore.<br />
