See Note 2 – Acquisitions & Divestitures for further details regarding goodwill related to acquisition.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of other intangible assets subject to amortization is $72.3 million and $46.1 million, respectively on December 31, 2015. Estimated aggregate amortization expense is expected to be $5.2 million, $4.9 million, $4.7 million, $4.5 million, and $1.7 million for the twelve-month periods of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. No goodwill is carried in the Corporate and Non-strategic segments.

Gross goodwill, accumulated impairments, and accumulated divestiture related write-offs were determined beginning January 1, 2012, when a change in accounting requirements resulted in goodwill being assessed for impairment rather than being amortized. Gross goodwill of $200.0 million with accumulated impairments and accumulated divestiture related write-offs of $114.1 million and $85.9 million, respectively, were previously allocated to the non-strategic segment, resulting in $0 net goodwill allocated to the non-strategic segment as of December 31, 2014 and 2015. The regional bank and fixed income segments do not have any accumulated impairments or divestiture related write-offs. The following is a summary of goodwill by reportable segment included in the Consolidated Statements of Condition as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015.
