I. INTRODUCTION
A. PURPOSE
The Department of the Treasury, with the assistance of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), is conducting a mandatory annual survey of
holdings of U.S. securities, including selected money markets instruments, by foreign residents as of June
30 of each year. The data will be collected by the FRBNY, acting as fiscal agent for the Department of the
Treasury. The data collected will be used by the U.S. Government in the computation of the U.S. balance
of payments accounts and the U.S. international investment position, and in the formulation of
international economic and financial policies. These data also will be used to provide aggregate
information to the public on these foreign portfolio investments and to meet international reporting
commitments.
In order to reduce reporting burden and costs to the government, there will be a substantial reduction in
the number of reporters in four out of every five years. A benchmark survey (Form SHL) of all significant
U.S.-resident custodians and issuers will continue to be held approximately every five years. In nonbenchmark years, the annual survey (Form SHLA) will require reports from only the very largest U.S.resident custodians and issuers. The data reported under these annual surveys (Form SHLA) will be used
in conjunction with the results of the previous benchmark survey to compute estimates for the nonbenchmark years. The next full Benchmark survey will be as of June 30, 2009.
The determination of who must report on the annual reports (Form SHLA) will be based upon the data
submitted during the previous benchmark survey. Designated U.S.-resident custodians and issuers will be
required to file detailed security data on Schedule 2, in the same manner as they did on the June 30,
2004 benchmark survey.

B. AUTHORITY
This mandatory survey is conducted under the authority of the International Investment and Trade in

Services Survey Act (22 U.S.C. 3101 et seq., [the Act] ) and Executive Order 11961 of January 19, 1977.
The Act specifies that the President has the authority to conduct a regular data collection program,
including such studies and reports as may be necessary and feasible, to secure current information on
1

international investment, including (but not limited to) such information as may be necessary for
computing and analyzing the balance of payments accounts and the international investment position of
the United States (22 U.S.C. 3103). In Executive Order 11961 §2, the President designated the Secretary
of the Treasury to be responsible for collecting data on portfolio investment required by the Act.

C. CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA REPORTED
The information collected by this survey may be used only for analytical and statistical purposes and to
enforce the Act. Access to the information is available only to officials and employees (including
consultants and contractors and their employees) designated to perform functions under the Act. Persons
having access to individual company information submitted pursuant to the Act are subject to penalties
for unauthorized disclosure (22 U.S.C. §3104 and 18 U.S.C. §1905). The results of this survey will be
made available to the general public at an aggregated level so that neither the U.S. persons or
organizations providing information nor individual or organizational ownership of U.S. securities can be
identified.
D. PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO REPORT
Reporting as directed in this package is mandatory for any U.S.-resident person or entity subject to the
reporting requirements set forth in the report instructions. Failure by an entity to provide timely and
accurate data can result in a civil penalty of not less than $2,500 and not more than $25,000, or
injunctive relief ordering such person to comply, or both (22 U.S.C. §3105 (a) and (b)).
Willfully failing to submit any required information under the Act can result in a fine of not more than
$10,000; and, if an individual, may result in imprisonment for not more than a year, or both. Any officer,
director, employee or agent who knowingly participates in such violation, upon conviction, may be
punished by a like fine, imprisonment, or both (22 U.S.C. §3105 (c)).
E. PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT NOTICE
This report titled “Foreign Holdings of U.S. Securities, Including Selected Money Market Instruments” in
the Federal Register Notice of (need to add date when known) has been reviewed and approved by the
Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and assigned
OMB Control Number 1505-0123. The purpose is to collect accurate and complete data that will enable
2

the Treasury Department to fulfill its responsibility under the Act. The estimated average burden
associated with this collection of information is 486 hours per report for each U.S.-resident custodian
reporting detailed information on Schedule 2, and 110 hours per report for each U.S.-resident issuer of
U.S. securities providing detailed information on Schedule 2. The amount of time required to complete
the report will vary depending on the amount of data to report. Comments concerning the accuracy of
these burden estimates and suggestions for reducing the reporting burden should be directed to:
Administrator, International Portfolio Investment Data Systems
U.S. Department of the Treasury
1500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 4410@1440NYA
Washington, DC 20220
or
The Office of Management and Budget
Paperwork Reduction Project (1505-0123)
Washington, DC 20503
No person is required to respond to any U.S. Government collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

II. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A. WHO MUST REPORT
1. All U.S.-resident entities that receive a copy of this report booklet must report, regardless
of the size of their consolidated holdings1.
Types of reporting entities include U.S.-resident custodians (including U.S.-resident central securities
depositories) and U.S.-resident issuers. Entities that provide multiple services (i.e., provide custodial
services and issue securities) should report securities that meet the reporting criteria for each role and
ensure that securities are not double counted.
•

U.S.-resident custodians, including brokers and dealers, must report all U.S. securities they
hold in custody (or manage the safekeeping of) for the account of foreign residents (including their
own foreign branches, subsidiaries, and affiliates). These securities must be reported by the U.S.resident custodian even if the securities are in turn held at DTC, Euroclear, or another central
securities depository, since the central securities depository knows only that it is holding securities on
behalf of the U.S.-resident custodian, whereas the U.S.-resident custodian knows that it is holding
these securities on behalf of a foreign resident. However, if a U.S.-resident custodian uses a U.S.resident sub-custodian, the custodian should report if (and only if), it does not maintain separate
accounts at and disclose the clients to the sub-custodian. (If the custodian does maintain separate
accounts at and disclose the clients to the sub-custodian, it should not report, to prevent double
counting.)

•

U.S.-resident central securities depositories, must report all U.S. securities they hold in custody
(or manage the safekeeping of) directly on behalf of foreign residents with which they have
established direct relationships, including foreign-resident brokers, dealers, exchanges, and central
securities depositories.

•

U.S.-resident issuers, must report all securities issued by the U.S.-resident units of their entity,
which are:
1. registered securities that are owned by foreign residents for which neither a U.S.-resident
custodian nor a U.S. resident central securities depository is used. Transfer or paying agents should be
able to provide the U.S.-resident issuer with this information;
2. book entry securities that are held at a foreign-resident central securities depository; and
3. bearer securities.

Reporting requirements for this report have been published in the Federal Register, which constitutes legal
notification of the requirement to complete this report.

4

Please refer to Section III, What Securities Must Be Reported, to identify reportable U.S. securities.
B. CONSOLIDATION RULES
U.S.-resident organizations, including bank holding companies (BHC) and financial holding companies
(FHC), should include all reportable securities for all U.S.-resident parts of their organization, including all
U.S.-resident branches and subsidiaries. U.S. residents include entities located in the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories. Please see Appendix G for the complete definition of United States.
It is the responsibility of the U.S. parent entity in each organization to ensure that its report includes all
applicable entities within its organization.
Securities issued by U.S.-resident trusts and special purpose entities (SPEs) for which the reporter is the
trustee or primary beneficiary should be included. Shares of U.S.-resident funds that are managed by the
reporting entity should be included unless a U.S.-resident custodian other than the reporting entity is
used.
U.S. branches and agencies of a foreign bank located in the same state and within the same Federal
Reserve District should submit a consolidated report for these offices. U.S. branches and agencies of a
foreign bank that are located in either different states or different Federal Reserve Districts, should submit
separate reports.
C. REPORTING DATES
Report data as of the last business day of June. All data should be submitted to the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York no later than the last business day of August.

III. WHAT SECURITIES MUST BE REPORTED
This report collects information on securities issued by U.S.-residents that are owned by foreign residents,
including U.S. equities, U.S. short-term debt securities (including selected money market instruments),
U.S. long-term debt securities, and U.S. asset-backed debt securities.
Reportable securities may be traded or issued in the United States or in foreign countries, and may be
denominated in any currency. Neither the country in which the securities are traded or issued, nor the
currency in which the securities are denominated, is relevant in determining whether the securities are
reportable. Securities held as part of a direct investment relationship should not be reported. (See
Section III.I.)
A. FOREIGN-RESIDENT OWNERSHIP
Securities are considered to be foreign owned if, according to the reporter's records, the holder of record
is not a resident of the United States. In addition, all outstanding bearer bonds should be assumed to be
owned by foreign residents and reported by the U.S.-resident issuer. Bearer bonds should also be
reported by U.S.-resident custodians, but only if the reporter’s records indicate a foreign-resident owner
(or foreign-resident custodian).
The following are considered to be foreign residents:
•

Residents of foreign countries, including foreign-resident custodians and foreign-resident central
securities depositories. (These include residents of Canada, Mexico, and offshore centers.)

•

International organizations with extra-territorial status (even if located in the United States), such as
the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and the Inter-American Development Bank. 1

(See Appendix D for a complete list of

these organizations.)
•

Foreign subsidiaries of U.S. entities and foreign-resident branches of U.S. banks.

•

Offshore and other non-U.S. funds.

•

Entities or individuals that file an IRS Form W-8, indicating that they are foreign residents. Please note
that there may be exceptions (such as Puerto Rico). However, if an IRS Form is not available, the
mailing address can be used to determine residency.

1

Pension plans of international and regional organizations, if located in the United States, are U.S.-resident entities;
therefore, any securities owned by these pension plans should be excluded from this report.
8

B. REPORTABLE U.S. SECURITIES
U.S. securities are securities issued by U.S.-resident entities, with the exception of Depositary Receipts
(DRs) that are backed by foreign securities and securities issued by international organizations that have
extra-territorial status, such as the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. U.S. securities
can be issued in any country, denominated in any currency, and traded on any exchange.
U.S.-resident entities include U.S.-resident branches of foreign banks and U.S.-resident subsidiaries of
foreign companies. Securities issued by foreign branches or subsidiaries of U.S. entities are not U.S.
securities unless, due to merger, reorganization, or default, a U.S.-resident entity assumes direct
responsibility for the payment of a previously foreign security.
Reportable securities include:
Equity Securities
•

Common stock

•

Preferred stock (participating and nonparticipating preference shares)

•

Restricted stock

•

U.S.-resident fund shares (open-end and closed-end), REITS, money market mutual funds, indexlinked equity securities including unit investment trusts (including SPDRs, DIAMONDs, etc.)

•

All other equity, including shares or units of ownership in unincorporated business enterprises, such as
limited partnerships

Debt Securities

reverse FRN, collared FRN, step up recovery FR (SURF), and range/corridor/accrual notes

•

Asset-backed securities (see Section III.D)

•

All other long-term and short-term debt securities
(Note: U.S. debt securities that are still outstanding as of June 30 should be reported even if

the maturity date has passed.)
C. DO NOT REPORT
Do not report any:
•

Derivative contracts (including futures, forwards, swaps, options and warrants) meeting the definition
of a derivative under FAS 133. Embedded derivatives that are not bifurcated under FAS 133 should be
included in the value of the host contract. However, if an embedded derivative is bifurcated the
derivative should be excluded from the report.

•

Securities which have been temporarily received as collateral under resale agreements or similar
financing agreements (see Section III.F)

•

Loans and loan participation certificates

•

Letters of credit

•

Non-negotiable certificates of deposit

1. Depositary receipts (DRs) backed by foreign securities, including ADRs (American Depositary
Receipts), ADSs (American Depositary Shares), GDRs (Global Depositary Receipts), and IDRs
(International Depositary Receipts).
2. Securities issued by international and regional organizations with extra-territorial status, such as
the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD or World Bank) or the InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB). (See Appendix D for a list of these organizations.)
3. Securities issued in the United States by foreign-resident entities (e.g., Canadian or Mexican
entities), even if they are denominated in U.S. dollars and traded on U.S. securities exchanges.
4. Securities issued by foreign subsidiaries of U.S. entities (e.g., GMAC Canada) or foreign branches
10

of U.S. banks, even if they are guaranteed by the U.S. parent company, or issued in the United
States.
5. Securities issued by foreign-resident entities under Section 144A of the SEC Act.
6. Securities issued by corporations that were incorporated outside of the United States by the report
as of date, including companies incorporated offshore in countries such as the Cayman Islands and
Bermuda.

D. ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
Asset-backed securities (ABS) are securitized interests in a pool of assets, which give the purchaser a
claim against the cash flows generated by the underlying assets. Securities backed by revolving credits,
such as pools of credit card receivables, are reported as ABS if the return to the owner is based upon
these credits, (i.e., the credits do not merely serve as collateral). Foreign-owned ABS should be reported
if the issuer securitizing the assets is a U.S. resident. The underlying asset should not be used to
determine if the ABS are reportable.
Include as ABS all collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), collateralized bond obligations (CBOs),
collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), and other securities backed
by pools of:
•

mortgages;

•

credit card receivables;

•

automobile loans;

•

consumer and personal loans;

•

commercial and industrial loans and other whole loans; and

•

other assets.

E. FUNDS AND RELATED EQUITY OWNERSHIP
1. Report foreign-residents’ ownership of shares/units of funds and investment trusts legally established
in the United States (U.S.-resident funds) as equity securities. All foreign-residents’ ownership of U.S.resident fund shares should be assigned security type = 3 (fund shares), and not categorized as a debt
security, regardless of the types of securities held by the fund.

11

For purposes of this report, funds include all investment vehicles that pool investors’ money and invest
the pooled money in one or more of a variety of assets. Funds include, but are not limited to:
•

mutual funds (including both open-end and closed-end mutual funds);

•

money market funds;

•

investment trusts;

•

index-linked funds;

•

exchange-traded funds (ETFs);

•

hedge funds; and

•

common trust funds.

The determination of whether a fund’s shares are a U.S. security is based on the country in which the
fund is legally established, not based on the residence of the issuers of the securities the fund purchases.
For example, if a foreign resident owns shares in a fund organized in New York, these shares are
reportable U.S. securities, whether or not the fund purchases foreign securities. Conversely, foreignresident ownership of shares of “offshore” or other foreign-resident funds that purchase U.S. securities
should not be reported.
Many funds established outside of the United States have names that are similar to U.S.-resident fund
names. This often occurs when the fund is managed by a group that also manages many U.S.-resident
funds and therefore may be thought of as managing only U.S.-resident funds. If there is doubt as to
whether the investment should be classified as a fund or whether a fund is U.S. or foreign, please contact
FRBNY staff at 212-720-6300 or 646-720-6300.
2. Report the ownership of U.S. securities by foreign-resident funds.
Although ownership of shares of foreign-resident funds are excluded from this report, any U.S. securities
owned by foreign-resident funds for their portfolio are reportable. These are distinct investments and,
therefore, are not duplicate reporting. U.S. securities owned by foreign-resident funds should be
classified as either equity, debt, or asset-backed securities, as indicated in Section III.B.
F. SECURITIES INVOLVED IN REPURCHASE AND SECURITIES LENDING ARRANGEMENTS
A repurchase agreement (repo) is an arrangement involving the sale of securities at a specified price with
a commitment to repurchase the same or similar securities at a specified price on a future date. A
12

reverse repo is an agreement whereby a security is purchased at a specified price with a commitment to
resell the same or similar securities at a specified price on a specified future date. Securities
lending/borrowing arrangements are agreements whereby the ownership of a security is transferred in
return for collateral, usually another security or cash, under condition that the security or similar security
will revert to its original owner at a future date.
Securities "sold" by foreign residents under repurchase agreements or buy/sell back agreements, lent
under securities lending arrangements, or delivered out as collateral as part of a reverse repurchase
agreement or security borrowing agreement should be reported as if the securities were continuously held
by the foreign resident. That is, the security lender’s U.S. custodian should report the U.S. security as if
no repurchase agreement or buy/sell back agreement occurred.
Securities temporarily acquired by foreign residents as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements,
securities lending or borrowing arrangements, or buy/sell back agreements should NOT be reported. That
is, the security borrower’s U.S. custodian should exclude the U.S. security as if no resale agreement or
buy/sell back agreement occurred.
However, if cash was temporarily received as collateral and was used to purchase securities, those
securities should be reported.
G. STRIPPED SECURITIES
Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal Securities (STRIPS) and other similar instruments
are securities that have been transformed from a principal amount with periodic interest coupons into a
series of zero-coupon securities, with the range of maturities matching the coupon payment dates and the
redemption date of the principal amount.
The residency of the STRIPS and similar instruments is the residence of the entity that issued the stripped
security. However, the type of issuer of STRIPS and similar instruments is based upon the type of issuer
of the underlying security. For example, U.S. Treasury STRIPS should be classified as U.S. Treasury
securities even though the Treasury does not issue or sell STRIPS directly to investors. In addition, all
CATS, TIGRS, COUGARS, and LIONS should also be classified as U.S. Treasury securities.
Foreign holdings of stripped securities where the underlying security is not an ABS, both the interest-only
(IO) component and the principal-only (PO) component, should be reported as security type = 10 (bond
13

or note, stripped).
Foreign holdings of stripped securities where the underlying security is an ABS, tranches of stripped ABS,
any IO component, and any PO component, should be reported as security type = 12 (asset-backed
security).
H. U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OR FEDERALLY SPONSORED ENTERPRISES
Securities that are issued by U.S. government agencies or federally sponsored enterprises and owned by
foreign residents are reportable. In addition, foreign owned securities that are issued by a U.S.-resident
entity and guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or federally sponsored enterprises are reportable.
For purposes of Schedule 2, item 9 (type of issuer), all these securities should be coded as type 2
(agencies). For example, securities that are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage
Association (GNMA) or the Small Business Administration (SBA) should be reported as U.S. government
agency securities.
I. DIRECT INVESTMENT
A direct investment relationship exists when a U.S. company owns 10% or more of the voting equity
securities of an incorporated foreign business (or an equivalent interest in an unincorporated foreign
business, including a branch), or when a foreign company owns 10% or more of the voting equity
securities of an incorporated U.S. business (or an equivalent interest in an unincorporated U.S. business,
including a branch). Limited partners in a limited partnership do not have voting rights and therefore
cannot have direct investment. (See Section III.K) If a direct investment relationship exists, then in
general, all financial positions between the firms are considered direct investment. If a direct investment
relationship exists between non-banking entities, all securities held by the parent entity that were issued
by the affiliate of the parent are considered direct investment. However, if one of the entities is a
banking or securities brokerage firm, the inter-company holdings are considered direct
investment only if they provide permanent capital. All holdings known to be direct investment
should be excluded from this report.
J. SECURITIES HELD BY U.S. CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORIES
U.S.-resident central securities depositories must report all U.S. securities they are holding in custody (or
managing the safekeeping of) directly on behalf of foreign residents, such as foreign-resident brokers
14

and dealers who may be members of the depository, or foreign-resident securities exchanges or
depositories that have established direct relationships with the U.S.-resident central securities depository.
U.S.-resident custodians should report all U.S. securities that are shown on their records as being owned
by foreign residents (or held in custody by its foreign-resident custodian) even if the safekeeping or
settlement of the security is done at a U.S.-resident central securities depository.
K. LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
Foreign-resident limited partner ownership interests in U.S.-resident limited partnerships should be
reported as security type = 4 (other equity). Limited partners’ ownership interests do not carry voting
rights; therefore, all ownership interests, even those greater than 10%, are reportable. The Number of
Shares field on Schedule 2 (item 18) should be defaulted to the value reported in the US$ Market Value
field (item 16) because limited partnerships do not issue shares.
General partner ownership interests are always considered to be direct investment and all such interests
should be excluded from this report.

L. ACCOUNTING RULES, VALUATION OF SECURITIES, AND CALCULATION OF U.S. DOLLAR
VALUES
Accounting Rules
All securities should be reported using settlement date accounting. Gross long positions should be
reported. Do not net any short positions from long positions. Do not enter decimals or negative values in
any cells.
Valuation of Securities
Report the fair (market) value of securities as of close of business on the last business day of June. The
fair (market) value follows the definition of FAS 115. Fair value is the amount at which an asset could be
bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
If a quoted market price is available for an instrument, the fair (market) value is the product of the

15

number of trading units2 times that market price. For securities that do not regularly trade, the estimate
of fair value should be based on the best information available. The estimate of fair value should consider
prices for similar assets and the results of valuation techniques to the extent available. Examples of
valuation techniques include discounted cash flow, matrix pricing, option-adjusted spread models and
fundamental analysis.
U.S.-resident custodians should, at a minimum, report the fair (market) value to the extent that it is
available as part of the services provided to their customers, even if the price available is for a date prior
to the last business day of June. If there is doubt as to whether to report the available fair (market) value
or to report a fair (market) value of zero, please contact FRBNY report staff at 212-720-6300 or 646-7206300.

For ABS, the fair (market) value of the unpaid principal amount outstanding at close of business on the
last business day of June should be reported; if principal has been repaid, this fair (market) value will not
be the same as the original face value, revalued at end-period market prices.
Foreign Currency Denominated Securities – CALCULATION OF U.S. DOLLAR VALUES
If the security is not denominated in U.S. dollars (US$) and a U.S. dollar fair (market) value is not
available in your system, convert the foreign currency denominated fair (market) value into US$ using the
spot exchange rate as of the close of business on the last business day of June. If you need assistance
locating an exchange rate, please contact FRBNY staff at 212-720-6300 or 646-720-6300.
If the exchange rate is normally quoted in units of foreign currency per US$, such as ¥105.75/US$, divide
foreign currency values by the foreign exchange rate to obtain the US$ values. For example, if the value
of a U.S. security issued in Japan is ¥ 200,000, and the exchange rate is ¥105.75/US$, divide ¥ 200,000
by 105.75 to obtain US$ 1,891.
If the exchange rate is normally quoted in US$ per units of the foreign currency, such as US$1.75/UK£,
multiply foreign currency values by the US$ exchange rate value of the foreign currency to obtain the US$
values. For example, if the value of a U.S. security issued in the United Kingdom is UK £1,000 and the
exchange rate is US$1.75/UK£, multiply UK £1,000 by 1.75 to obtain US$ 1,750.
2

The FAS 115 definition of fair (market) value uses the term “units,” which refers to number of shares for equity,
face value for non-ABS debt, and remaining principal outstanding for ABS debt.

M. DATA RETENTION PERIOD
All data used to create this report must be retained by the reporter for a period of 36 months from the
date of the report's submission.
N. REVIEW OF DATA AND REQUEST FOR REVISED DATA
Data submitted on the reporting schedules are reviewed by FRBNY staff. As a result of this review, the
reporter may be asked by FRBNY staff to provide supplemental information, including reasons for
significant data changes between reporting periods, or corrected data. In addition, FRBNY staff may
request: (1) information to ensure that all reportable U.S. securities have been reported; (2) information
to ensure that all reported U.S. securities are owned by foreign residents (or held by foreign-resident
custodians or foreign-resident central securities depositories); or (3) other information that helps to
explain or corroborate the submitted data.
Reporters filing data on electronic media that are not formatted per the specifications in Appendix H will
be required to resubmit the data in the proper format.
Each quarter, FRBNY staff obtains a list of debt securities issued abroad by U.S. companies. Experience
has shown that most such issues are largely or completely foreign held. FRBNY staff will compare this
information with the reports submitted by U.S.-resident issuers of foreign placed debt securities to ensure
that foreign-issued securities are being properly reported. FRBNY will ask the issuers of such securities
for additional information in cases of apparent under- or over-reporting.

the sequence number of this record, right justified. The first record should be assigned sequence number
1 and each subsequent Schedule 2 record should be sequentially numbered.
3. Reporting Unit Code - If data being submitted are collected from multiple databases or reporting
systems, please report an internal code that will enable you to identify the database or system from
which the information on this Schedule 2 came. This information will greatly reduce the costs of
identifying and fixing any reporting errors that may occur.
3a. Name of Reporting Unit - Enter a description or name of the reporting unit or area that
corresponds to the code reported in item 3.
4. Custodian/Issuer Code - Enter "1" if your entity did not issue this security. Enter "2" for issuer if
your entity issued this security (even if you are also acting as the custodian).
5. Security ID - Enter the security ID code used to identify the security reported on this Schedule 2.
CUSIP codes are strongly preferred. If the CUSIP is not available, please try to provide the ISIN,
CINS, or Common code. Do not use internally generated codes unless this security has not
been assigned a code by any recognized numbering agency (e.g., limited partnerships).
Records for securities for which a portion is restricted and a portion is not restricted should be
reported with the numbering agency code assigned to the unrestricted portion. If excessive internal
codes are used, we may have to contact your institution to help identify characteristics of certain
individual securities. Please include the security ID’s check digit and exclude any internal
coding characters added to the CUSIP or other numbering agency code.
6. Security ID System - Select the appropriate number from the list shown on the form. For example,
if the security ID number entered in Item 5 is a CUSIP number, enter “1”; if it is a CINS, enter “3.”

21

for preferred stock the annual dividend; (b) for debt securities, the interest rate; (c) for floating rate
notes, how the interest rate is calculated (e.g., Libor plus 1.5); and (d) for stripped securities the type
of security/tranche. This information is particularly important for securities with an internally
generated or other security ID not generated by a recognized numbering agency, (i.e., security ID
system codes = 8 or 9).
8. Name of Issuer - Enter the name of the entity that issued the security. Please try to provide the full
legal name of the issuer. For branches of banks, please provide the location of the branch.
9. Type of Issuer - Enter “1” if the security was issued by the United States government. Enter “2” if

Type 1 should be used to report all common stock, including restricted common shares.
Type 2 should be used to report all preferred stock, including participating preference shares,
nonparticipating preference shares, convertible preferred stock, and restricted preferred shares.
Type 3 should be used to report all shares of funds, including funds that invest primarily or exclusively
in money market instruments and in long-term debt, exchange traded funds, open-end and closedend mutual funds, and unit investment trusts. (See Section III.E)
Type 4 should be used to report all other types of equity, including foreign-resident limited partner
ownership of U.S.-resident limited partnerships and any other form of equity not specified in security
types 1, 2, and 3.
Type 5 should be used to report all commercial paper, including asset-backed commercial paper.

22

Type 6 should be used to report long-term and short-term negotiable certificates of deposits, including
negotiable bank notes and negotiable deposit notes issued by U.S. institutions, including U.S.
branches of U.S. or foreign banks. Non-negotiable certificates of deposit are not reportable.
Type 7 should be used to report all convertible debt securities, including convertible bonds and zerocoupon convertible debt. However, non-convertible debt securities with embedded warrants or
options should be reported as either type 8 (if a zero-coupon bond or note) or type 9.
Type 8 should be used to report bonds and notes that do not provide interest payments, such as
discount notes. However: (1) zero-coupon convertible debt should be reported as type 7; (2) stripped
non-asset-backed securities, both the interest-only (IO) and principal-only (PO) components, should
be reported as type 10; (3) U.S. Treasury bills should be reported as type 11; and (4) stripped assetbacked securities, the tranches, and the IO and PO components, should be reported as type 12.
Type 9 should be used to report bonds or notes that: (1) cannot be converted to equity securities, (2)
provide interest payments, (3) have not been stripped (i.e., not an IO or PO), and (4) do not give the
owner a claim against the cash flows generated by the underlying assets (i.e., ABS). These bonds and
notes are commonly referred to as “straight debt.”
Type 10 should be used to report all components of stripped securities, including the IO and PO
components. However, all tranches of stripped asset-backed securities should be reported as type 12.
Type 11 should include all debt other than asset-backed securities that is not covered in types 5-10,
including U.S. Treasury bills.
Type 12 should include only short-term and long-term securities that represent securitized interests in
a pool of assets and give the investor a claim against the cash flows generated by the underlying
assets. All tranches of stripped asset-backed securities, as well as unstripped asset-backed securities,
should be reported as type 12. Debt which is collateralized by assets (real or financial), but only give
the investor a claim against the underlying interest if the issuer defaults, should be reported as types
5-11, as appropriate.
11. Intentionally Left Blank
12. Term Indicator (debt, including ABS, only; based on original maturity) - Enter "1" (shortterm) if the period from the issue date to the maturity date is one year or less. Enter "2" if the period
from the security issue date to the maturity date is more than one year. If there are multiple issue
23

dates or redemption dates, enter "2" (long-term) if the period between the initial issue date and the
longest redemption date is more than one year. Perpetual debt should also be classified as long-term.
13. Currency of Denomination - Enter the ISO code from Appendix F that corresponds to the currency
in which the security is denominated.
14. Country of Foreign Holder - Enter the country code from Appendix C that corresponds to the
country of residence of the owner of the security. If the country of residence of the owner is not
known, report the country of residence of the foreign-resident custodian or foreign-resident central
securities depository. Positions of international and multinational regional organizations, whether
located in the United States or elsewhere, should be reported opposite the classification
“International,” if worldwide, or opposite the classifications “European,” “Latin American,” “Caribbean,”
“Asian,” “African,” or “Middle Eastern” regional organizations as indicated in Appendix D. If no
country information is available (as will often be the case with bearer bonds), enter code 88862. If an
excessive number of "country unknowns" is reported for securities other than bearer bonds, we will
contact your institution for further information.
15. Type of Foreign Holder
Enter "1" if the owner is an official institution (see Appendix D or E) even if the account is held in the
name of a foreign custodian or other foreign nominee.
Enter "2" if the account is in the name of one or more individuals (natural persons).
Enter “3” for all other owners, including personal trusts and other investment vehicles even if the
beneficial owner is an individual.
16. U.S. $ Fair (Market) Value of Foreign Owned U.S. Security - Enter the U.S. $ fair (market)
value of foreign-residents' ownership of this security, rounded to the nearest U.S. dollar. (See Section
III.L, Valuation of Securities, for more information on how to calculate the fair (market) value.)
16a.Fair (Market) Value in Currency of Denomination of Foreign Owned U.S. Security - Enter
the fair (market) value of foreign-residents' ownership of this security, rounded to the nearest
currency unit. For ABS, the fair (market) value should be calculated based on the remaining principal
outstanding (item 23) rather than the original face value. If the currency of issue is US$, report the
same value as in item 16. (See Section III.L, Valuation of Securities, for more information on how to
calculate the fair (market) value.)
17. Intentionally Left Blank
FOR EQUITY TYPE SECURITIES ONLY
18. Number of Shares - Enter the number of shares owned by foreigners, including fractional shares,
rounded to the nearest share. Wherever possible, combine partial shares with other ownership shares

24

of the same security to reduce reporting disparities introduced by rounding partial shares. Securities
for which the amount foreign owned is zero should not be reported.
FOR SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT SECURITIES EXCLUDING ASSET-BACKED
SECURITIES
19. Face Value in Currency of Denomination - For both short-term and long-term securities, enter
the face value owned by foreigners in the currency of denomination, rounded to the nearest whole
currency unit. If a security is traded in units, then calculate the face value as: (face value of each
unit) * (the number of units) and report the result in this field. Securities for which the amount
foreign owned is zero should not be reported.
20. Issue Date - Enter the issue date of this security in MMDDYYYY format. For example, if the security
was issued on October 4, 1985, enter 10041985. If there are multiple issue dates, enter the first such
issue date.
21. Maturity Date - Enter the final maturity date (when all remaining principal and interest are due) of
this security in MMDDYYYY format. For example, if the security's final maturity date is January 5,
2010, enter 01052010. For perpetual debt, report a maturity date of 12319999.
FOR SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES ONLY
22. Original Face Value in Currency of Denomination - Enter the original face value owned by
foreigners in the currency of denomination, rounded to the nearest whole currency unit. This is the
value that is (would have been) outstanding if no principal has been (had been) repaid. If a security
is traded in units, then calculate the original face value as: (original face value of each unit) * (the
number of units) and report the result in this field.
23. Remaining Principal Outstanding in Currency of Denomination - Enter the remaining principal
outstanding owned by foreigners as of last business day of June in the currency of denomination,
rounded to the nearest whole currency unit. This will equal the original face value if no principal has
been repaid.
The remaining principal outstanding should be calculated by multiplying the original face value (item
22) by the factor value as of June 30, 2004. If a security is traded in units, then calculate the
remaining principal outstanding as: (original face value of each unit) * (the number of units) * (factor
value). If the factor value is not available as of the last business day of June, use the closest factor

25

value prior to the last business day of June. Securities for which the amount foreign owned is zero
should not be reported.
24. Issue Date - Enter the issue date of this security in MMDDYYYY format. For example, if the security
was issued on October 4, 1985, enter 10041985. If there are multiple issue dates, enter the first such
issue date.
25. Maturity Date - Enter the final maturity date (when all remaining principal and interest are due) of
this security in MMDDYYYY format. For example, if the security's final maturity date is January 5,
2010, enter 01052010.

GLOSSARY
AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPT (ADR) - Negotiable certificates, typically issued by a U.S.resident company and backed by shares of stock issued by a foreign corporation. ADRs that
represent ownership of foreign securities are considered foreign securities and should not be
reported, even if issued by a U.S.-resident company.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES - Securitized interests in a pool of assets, which give the purchaser
a claim against the cash flows generated by the underlying assets. These pools may be derived
from mortgage loans, auto loans, credit card receivables, vehicle and equipment leases, consumer
loans, commercial loans or other assets. All asset-backed securities, including CMOs, CLOs, CBOs,
CDOs, and stripped asset-backed securities are reported as security type = 12 (asset-backed
security). (See Section III.D of the reporting instructions.)
BEARER BOND - Securities that are not registered in the name of their owner. The owner collects
interest and dividends upon presentation of detachable coupons to a bank or fiduciary agent.
Bearer bonds are reported as long-term debt securities, security type = 9 (bond or note,
unstripped).
BEARER BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES - See Bearer Global Notes/Certificates.
BEARER GLOBAL NOTES/CERTIFICATES - Bearer notes issued to one or more dealers that are
represented by a single global note in bearer form and are intended to be the backing for
registered securities issued by the central security depository. (See global certificates.) Bearer
global notes/certificates held at a foreign-resident central securities depository are reportable. The
entire amount of the issue minus any amount known to be owned by U.S. residents should be
reported by the issuer as registered. If the identity of the beneficial foreign owner is not known, the
country of the foreign central securities depository should be reported in Schedule 2, item 14 and
the type of foreign holder should be reported as Other in Schedule 2, item 15.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT - See Negotiable Certificates of Deposit.
COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATION (CMO) - Mortgage-backed securities, which give
the purchaser a claim against the cash flows generated by the underlying mortgages. CMOs are
usually characterized by a multi-tranche or multi-class serialized structure. Collateralized Mortgage
Obligations (CMOs) should be reported as security type = 12 (asset-backed security).
54

COMMERCIAL PAPER - A promissory note, either unsecured or backed by assets such as loans or
mortgages. They are usually sold at a discount and customarily having a fixed maturity of 270 days
or less. All commercial paper should be reported as security type = 5 (commercial paper).
COMMINGLED ACCOUNT - An account in which the investment funds of individual clients are
pooled, with each client owning portions of the pooled account. U.S. securities held in foreignresident commingled accounts should be reported.
COMMON STOCK - A security representing equity ownership in a corporation. Common stock
claims are subordinate to the claims of bondholders, preferred stockholders, and general creditors.
Common stocks are reported as security type = 1 (common stock).
CONVERTIBLE BOND - A bond that can be exchanged at a set price for equity securities by the
holder under certain conditions. Convertible debt securities issued by U.S.-residents that are
owned by foreigners are reported as security type = 7 (convertible debt security).
CUSTODIAN - A bank or other entity that manages or administers the custody or safekeeping of
stock certificates, debt securities, or other assets for institutional or private investors.
DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS - See American Depositary Receipts (ADR). Related types of depositary
receipts, such as Global Depositary Receipts, that are backed by foreign securities are considered
foreign securities and should not be reported.
DEPOSIT NOTES - A debt security issued by a bank, backed by federal deposit insurance up to
$100,000 in principal and interest. They pay a fixed rate of interest and can be issued in book
entry or certificate form. Deposit notes are reported as security type = 6 (negotiable CD).
DEPOSITORY - An entity that holds securities, either in certificated or uncertificated
(dematerialized) form, to enable the transfer of ownership of securities. Depositories are not
necessarily custodians, since they may be responsible only for registering and settling security
transactions. The major U.S. depository is Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC).

55

DERIVATIVE CONTRACT - Financial instrument or other contract with all three of the following
characteristics:
1. (a) One or more underlyings; (b) one or more notional amounts; and (c)
payment provisions. These terms determine the amount of the settlement or
settlements, and, in some cases, whether or not a settlement is required.
2. Requires no initial investment, or an initial investment that is much smaller than
would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a
similar response to changes in market factors.
3. The terms require or permit net settlement, it can readily be settled net by a
means outside the contract, or it provides for delivery of an asset that puts the
recipient in a position not substantially different from net settlement.
Derivative contracts are excluded from this report. Embedded derivatives that are not bifurcated
from the host contract should be included in the value of the host contract. However, if the
embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract, the derivative should be excluded from
this report.
DIRECT INVESTMENT - A direct investment relationship exists when a U.S. company owns 10%
or more of the voting equity securities of an incorporated foreign business (or an equivalent
interest in an unincorporated foreign business, including a branch), or when a foreign company
owns 10% or more of the voting equity securities of an incorporated U.S. business (or an
equivalent interest in an unincorporated U.S. business, including a branch). Limited partners in a
limited partnership do not have voting rights and therefore cannot have direct investment. (See
Section III.K.) If a direct investment relationship exists, then in general, all financial positions
between the firms are considered direct investment. If a direct investment relationship exists
between non-banking entities, all securities held by the parent entity that were issued by the
affiliate of the parent are considered direct investment. However, if one of the entities is a
banking or securities brokerage firm, the inter-company holdings are considered direct
investment only if they provide permanent capital. All holdings known to be direct
investment should be excluded from this report.
FOREIGN BANK - A bank located in a foreign country and organized under the laws of that
country.

56

FOREIGN-RESIDENT (FOREIGN, FOREIGNER) - Any individual, corporation, or other entity
legally established outside of the United States, regardless of the actual center of economic activity
of the entity. Thus, a corporation incorporated outside of the United States is a foreign resident
even if it has no physical presence outside the United States. Foreigners/foreign residents include:
1. Individuals, including citizens of the United States, residing outside of the United States. (This
includes individuals that have filed an IRS Form W-8, indicating that the individual is a
nonresident alien. However, if an IRS Form is not available, the mailing address can be used to
determine residency.)
2. Any corporation or other entity legally established outside of the United States, including
branches, subsidiaries and other affiliates of U.S. entities located abroad.
3. Foreign governments and any subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, including all
foreign official nonbanking institutions, even if located in the United States (e.g., an embassy,
consulate, or other diplomatic establishment of a foreign country).
4. Official international or regional organizations or subordinate or affiliated agencies thereof,
created by treaty or convention between sovereign states, even if located in the United States,
including the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD or World Bank), the
International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the United Nations (UN). (See Appendix D for a list of
international and regional organizations.)
FOREIGN SECURITIES - See Section III.C.
FOREIGN-RESIDENT CUSTODIAN - A custodian located outside the United States, including a
foreign affiliate of a U.S.-resident custodian. Reporters should determine the location of a
custodian according to the country in which the custodian is incorporated, or otherwise legally
established, not according to the country of the custodian’s parent firm, and not according to the
location of the custodian’s operations center.
FOREIGN-RESIDENT SUBCUSTODIAN - A foreign institution that holds in custody or safekeeps
foreign securities for U.S.-resident custodians.
FUNDS - Pooled, separate and general investment accounts, including mutual funds (open and

regardless of the types of securities held by the fund. U.S. securities held for foreign-resident
funds should be reported in the same manner as the holdings of other foreign residents. (See
57

Section III.E for the correct reporting of funds.)
GLOBAL NOTES/CERTIFICATES - Notes issued to one or more dealers that are represented by
a single global note and are intended to be the backing for registered securities issued by the
central security depository. Global notes/certificates held at a foreign-resident central securities
depository are reportable. The entire amount of the issue minus any amount known to be owned
by U.S. residents should be reported. If the identity of the beneficial foreign owner is not known,
the country of the foreign central securities depository should be reported in Schedule 2, item 14
and the type of foreign holder should be reported as Other in Schedule 2, item 15.
INDIVIDUALS - Natural persons. On item 15 on Schedule 2, enter 2 if the foreign holder of the
U.S. security is a natural person who does not use a foreign custodian. That is, the reporter is
holding the security directly for the individual.
INVESTMENT TRUST SHARE - A share of a company bound by a trust deed issued in registered
form, formed to invest in specific types of securities. Shares in an investment trust can usually be
bought and sold only through the stock exchange. Sometimes referred to as a ‘closed-end’ fund.

regardless of the types of securities held by the trust.
LONG-TERM - No contractual maturity or an original maturity of more than one year.
MUNICIPAL BONDS - Debt securities issued by state and local governments. Municipal bonds
are reportable.
NEGOTIABLE CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT - Deposits evidence by a negotiable instrument, or a

which provides on its face that the amount of such deposit is payable to the bearer or any specified
person. Report as security type = 6 (negotiable CD).
PREFERRED STOCK - Equity securities with preferences to the common stock of the issuer.
Preferred stock is usually entitled to dividends stated as a fixed dollar amount or as a percentage of
par value before any dividend can be paid on the common stock and have priority over common
shares in the event of liquidation. Preferred stock are reported as security type = 2 (preferred
stock).

58

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (REPO) - A transaction involving the sale of financial assets by one
party to another, subject to an agreement for the seller to repurchase the assets at a specified
price on a future date. A resale agreement (also known as a reverse repurchase agreement) is the
same transaction viewed from the opposite perspective. Securities sold or purchased under
repurchase (resale) agreements should be reported as if the transaction had not occurred. (See
Section III. F of the reporting instructions.)
SECURITY - Any bill, note, bond, debenture, stock, negotiable money market instrument, or
similar instrument that is commonly referred to as a security. See Section III.B for a list of
reportable U.S. securities.
SETTLEMENT DATE - The date a security is delivered to the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT DATE ACCOUNTING - Under settlement date accounting the purchase and sale of

Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories and possessions, and their political subdivisions,
including counties, municipalities, school districts, irrigation districts, and drainage and sewer
districts.
STRIPS - An acronym for Separately Traded Registered Interest and Principal Securities. These
securities are created by "stripping" coupon payments from securities and treating these coupons
as separate securities from the principal. Stripped non-asset-backed securities are reported as
security type = 10 (bond or note, stripped). Stripped asset-backed securities are reported as
security type = 12 (asset-backed security).
STRUCTURED NOTE OR BOND - A financial instrument created specifically to meet the needs of
one or a small number of investors. Some of the more common structures include: step-up bonds,
index-amortizing notes, dual index notes, deleveraged bonds, range bonds, and inverse floaters.

Island.
UNIT INVESTMENT TRUST - A fixed portfolio of securities that are assembled by an underwriter
sponsor and upon completion of the underwriting, are deposited with an independent trustee. Unit
investment trusts have a definite termination date, usually between 6 months and 10 years. Unit
investment trust securities are reported as security type = 3 (fund shares), regardless of the
maturity date or the types of securities purchased. U.S. securities held for foreign-resident unit
investment trusts should also be reported. (See Section III.E for the correct reporting of unit
investment trusts.)
U.S. RESIDENT - Any individual, corporation, or other entity incorporated or otherwise legally
established in the United States, including branches, subsidiaries and affiliates of foreign entities
located in the United States. Corporations incorporated in the United States are considered to be
U.S. residents even if they have a de minimus "physical presence" in the United States.
U.S.-RESIDENT CUSTODIAN - A custodian located in the United States, including a U.S.-resident
affiliate of a foreign custodian.
U.S.-RESIDENT ISSUER - Any individual, corporation, or other entity located in the United States
