The 2019 annual impairment assessment determined that no impairment existed at the annual assessment date. Due to the decline in the Company’s assets under management for the three months ended March 31, 2020, management determined that an interim impairment assessment was necessary as of March 31, 2020.
The Company performed a quantitative impairment test for the Copper Rock Capital Partners LLC (“Copper Rock”) reporting unit which is included within the Liquid Alpha segment. The quantitative impairment test concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value. Accordingly, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. No goodwill impairment charges were recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using the income approach, which calculates the fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of Assets Under Management (“AUM”) growth rates, product mix and effective fee rates, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rates used are based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics. The Company’s quantitative impairment
analysis at March 31, 2020 incorporated revised forecasts that took into account the market disruptions during the quarter and its impact on the results in future periods. Given the significant level of uncertainty that currently exists, management also considered alternative scenarios for market and reporting unit performance over the next several years. If the Company’s assets under management are further impacted by the global economic conditions caused by COVID-19, such as adverse and significant declines in the value of global financial markets, additional impairments of goodwill or intangible assets are possible in future periods.

The Company’s definite-lived acquired intangibles are amortized over their expected useful lives. As of June 30, 2020, these assets were being amortized over remaining useful lives of four to ten years. The Company recorded amortization expense of $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense of $3.5 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company also acquired a $1.0 million indefinite-lived intangible trade name in the acquisition of Landmark, included in acquired intangibles, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2020 and 2019.
The 2019 annual impairment assessment of definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets determined that no impairment existed. Due to the decline in the Company’s assets under management in the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company assessed definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it was more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset was not impaired. For definite-lived intangible assets, no events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. As such, no impairment charges were determined for both the definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets. No impairment charges were determined for the definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
The Company estimates that its consolidated annual amortization expense, assuming no useful life changes or additional investments in new or existing Affiliates, for each of the next five fiscal years is as follows (in millions):
