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. 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 quarterly and published in the Treasury
Bulletin and the TIC website. "Selected Other Liabilities" are primarily the foreign liabilities of U.S.
customers that are managed by U.S. banks or broker/dealers TIC data cover most components of
international financial flows, but do not include data on direct investment flows, which are collected
