The impairments totalling EUR 15.0 million (EUR 9.2 million) were attributable in an amount of EUR 2.8 million (EUR 2.0 million) to the area of fixed-income securities. Impairments of EUR 5.9 million (EUR 5.8 million) were taken on alternative investments. These were attributable exclusively to private equity. Impairments of EUR 4.5 million (EUR 1.4 million) were recognised on investments in the real estate sector. Impairments of EUR 1.9 million (EUR 0.0 million) were recognised on equities or equity funds in the year under review because their fair values had fallen either significantly (by at least 20%) or for a prolonged period (for at least nine months) below acquisition cost. These impairments contrasted with write-ups of EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.1 million) made on investment property that had been written down in previous periods. The portfolio did not contain any overdue, unadjusted assets as at the balance sheet date since overdue securities are written down immediately.
