Of the unscheduled impairments totalling EUR 141.4 million (EUR 479.9 million), an amount of EUR 92.6 million was attributable to alternative investments. This includes impairments taken on private equity amounting to EUR 54.3 million. The impairments on fixed-income securities of EUR 45.4 million were taken predominantly on structured assets. An impairment loss of EUR 3.2 million (EUR 356.1 million) was recognised on equities whose fair value had fallen significantly – i.e. by at least 20% – or for a prolonged period – i.e. for at least nine months – below acquisition cost. This contrasted with write-ups of EUR 20.1 million on investments that had been written down in previous periods. Of this total volume, EUR 10.8 million was attributable to alternative assets and EUR 9.3 million to fixed-income securities. The portfolio did not contain any overdue, unadjusted assets as at the balance sheet date since overdue securities are written down immediately.
