The 2021 and 2020 annual impairment reviews of indefinite-lived intangible assets determined that no impairment existed. No interim impairment test was deemed necessary for 2021. Due to the decline in our assets under management in the three months ended March 31, 2020, management determined that an interim impairment test was necessary for certain of our indefinite-lived management contract assets during 2020. The analysis resulted in no impairment because the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value.

Amortization expense was $62.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: $62.5 million; December 31, 2019: $52.7 million). Estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years based upon the company's intangible assets at December 31, 2021 is as follows:
