The 2010 acquisitions of Morgan Stanley's retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments, as well as the acquisitions of Concord Capital and AIG Asia Real Estate collectively added $399.6 million of goodwill to the company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at their respective acquisition dates. The 2011 earn-out calculations related to the 2006 acquisition of W.L. Ross & Co. and Invesco PowerShares resulted in an addition to goodwill of $30.5 million (2010 earn-out goodwill addition: $40.4 million).

The 2011 and 2010 annual impairment reviews determined that no impairment existed at the respective review dates. No interim impairment tests were deemed necessary during 2010 or 2011.
