About TIC Data
The monthly data on holdings of long-term securities, as well as the monthly table on Major Foreign
Holders of Treasury Securities, reflect foreign holdings of U.S. securities collected primarily on the basis of
custodial data. These data help provide a window into foreign ownership of U.S. securities, but they
cannot attribute holdings of U.S. securities with complete accuracy. For example, if a U.S. Treasury security
purchased by a foreign resident is held in a custodial account in a third country, the true ownership of the
security will not be reflected in the data. The custodial data will also not properly attribute U.S. Treasury
securities managed by foreign private portfolio managers who invest on behalf of residents of other
countries. In addition, foreign countries may hold dollars and other U.S. assets that are not captured in

the TIC data. For these reasons, it is di icult to draw precise conclusions from TIC data about changes in
the foreign holdings of U.S. financial assets by individual countries.

/3

The reported division of net purchases of long-term securities between net purchases by foreign official institutions and net purchases
of other foreign investors is subject to a "transaction bias" described in Frequently Asked Questions 7 and 10.a.4 on the TIC website.

/4

Net transactions in foreign securities by U.S. residents. Foreign purchases of foreign securities = U.S. sales of foreign securities to foreigners.
Thus negative entries indicate net U.S. purchases of foreign securities, or an outflow of capital from the United States; positive entries
indicate net U.S. sales of foreign securities.

Minus estimated unrecorded principal repayments to foreigners on domestic corporate and agency asset-backed securities +
estimated foreign acquisitions of U.S. equity through stock swaps estimated U.S. acquisitions of foreign equity through stock swaps +
increase in nonmarketable Treasury Bonds and Notes Issued to Official Institutions and Other Residents of Foreign Countries.

These are primarily data on monthly changes in banks' and broker/dealers' custody liabilities. Data on custody claims are collected
