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 the ownership of foreign securities, including selected money market instruments,
by U.S. residents as of December 31, 2018. 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. This
report also is part of the Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS), an internationally
coordinated effort under the auspices of the IMF, to improve the statistics on the holdings of foreign
securities by major investing countries.

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 Report of U.S.
Ownership of Foreign Securities, Including Selected Money Market Instruments (Form SHC) of all
significant U.S.-resident custodians and end-investors will continue to be held approximately every
five years. In non-benchmark years, the Annual Report of U.S. Ownership of Foreign Securities,
Including Selected Money Market Instruments (Form SHCA) will require reports from only the very
largest U.S.-resident custodians and end-investors. The data reported under the annual surveys (Form
SHCA) will be used in conjunction with the results of the previous benchmark survey to compute
economy-wide estimates for the non-benchmark years. The next full Benchmark survey will be as of
December 31, 2021.

The determination of who must report on the annual reports (Form SHCA) will be based upon the
data submitted during the previous Benchmark survey and Aggregate Holdings of Long- Term
Securities by U.S. and Foreign Residents (TIC SLT) report as of December of the preceding year.
Designated U.S.-resident custodians and end-investors (including fund managers) will be required
to file detailed foreign security data on Schedule 2 and data on foreign securities entrusted to U.S.resident custodians on Schedule 3, i.e., they will be required to file in the same manner as they
did on the previous Benchmark survey.

B. AUTHORITY
This mandatory survey is conducted under the authority of the International Investment and Trade in
Services Survey Act (22 USC 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 international investment, including (but not limited to) such information as may be
necessary for computing and analyzing the balance of payments and the international investment
position of the United States (22 USC 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 USC §3104 and 18 USC §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 foreign securities
can be identified.

D. PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO REPORT
Reporting as directed in this package is mandatory for any U.S. person or organization subject to the
reporting requirements set forth in the report instructions. Failure by an organization 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 USC §3105(a)).
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 USC §3105(c)).

E. PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT NOTICE
This report 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 1505-0146. The
purpose is to collect accurate and complete data that will enable the Treasury Department to fulfill its
responsibility under the Act. The estimated annual average preparation time per respondent (over
five years) is about 174 hours, but this will vary widely from respondent to respondent. (a) In the
year of a benchmark survey (using Form SHC), it is estimated that exempt SHC reporters will require
an average of 17 hours; custodians of securities providing security-by-security information will
require an average of 361 hours, but this figure will vary widely for individual custodians; endinvestors providing security-by-security information will require an average of 121 hours; and endinvestors and custodians employing U.S. custodians will require an average of 41 hours. (b) In a nonbenchmark year (using Form SHCA), custodians of securities providing security-by-security
information will require an average of 546 hours (because only the largest U.S.-resident custodians
will report), end-investors providing security-by-security information will require an average of 146
hours; and SHCA reporters entrusting their foreign securities to U.S. custodians will require an
average of 49 hours. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate and suggestions for
reducing the burden should be directed to:

Administrator, International Portfolio Investment Data Systems
U.S. Department of the Treasury
1500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 5422 MT
Washington, DC 20220, or

The Office of Management and Budget
Paperwork Reduction Project (1505-0146)
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
All U.S.-resident entities that have been contacted by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York to report must file the SHCA report. (See Section II.C, Exemptions.) All other
entities are exempt from reporting.

1) Custodians are all organizations that hold securities in safekeeping for other organizations. Most
U.S.-resident custodians also invest in foreign securities for their own account, i.e., are also U.S.resident end-investors for purposes of this report. U.S.-resident custodians should report both the
foreign portfolio securities held in safekeeping for other U.S. residents and their own foreign portfolio
securities.

2) End-Investors are U.S.-resident organizations that invest in foreign securities for their own
portfolios or invest on behalf of others, such as investment managers, fund sponsors, fund managers,
and fund administrators. This includes securities that are held-for-trading, available-for-sale, or heldto-maturity. Collectively, such investors are referred to as “end-investors” throughout these
instructions. U.S.-resident end-investors include, but are not limited to:
•

Financial and non-financial organizations (includes bank holding companies (BHC), financial
holdings companies (FHC), and Intermediate Holding Companies (IHC))

•

Managers of private and public pension funds

•

Managers/sponsors/administrators of funds (including money market mutual funds), country
funds, unit- investment funds, exchange-traded funds, collective-investment trusts, hedge
funds, limited partnerships, trusts, certain private funds or any other similarly pooled,
commingled funds. Also managers/sponsors/administrators of private equity companies,
venture capital companies, hedge funds, certain private funds and other private investment
vehicles

•

Insurance companies

•

Foundations

•

Institutions of higher learning (e.g., university endowments)

•

Trusts and estates

•

Funds and similar entities that own shares or units of, or other portfolio equity interests in, a
foreign related or non-related entity.

Reporting (as end-investor) is the responsibility of the manager of a fund, partnership, trust, etc, if
they have discretion over investments of the fund/partnership/trust/etc. In that case the actual endinvestor(s) should not report so that there is no double counting in the overall TIC data system.
In general, it is important that every reportable cross-border ownership of long-term securities be
reported by one and only one entitiy. For example, in cases where each individual end investor
does not meet the reporting thresholds but the manager who manages them all meets the threshold
in the aggregate, then the manager has the responsibility to report. If a situation is unclear, please
contact the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Reports should include all reportable securities held or managed by all U.S.-resident parts of the
organization, including all U.S.-resident branches, offices, and subsidiaries. U.S. residents include
organizations organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or of

U.S.

territories and possessions. Please see Appendix H – Glossary for the complete definition of
United States. It is the responsibility of the top U.S.-resident parent entity in each organization to
ensure that its report covers all applicable entities within the organization.

If any of the following conditions apply, please contact the FRBNY staff:
•

Your organization is not the top U.S.-resident parent entity in your organization and has been
notified of its obligation to report by, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

•

Your organization cannot submit a single report for the entire organization.

Additional copies of the reporting forms and instructions may be printed from the Internet at:

the reporter directly employs foreign-resident sub-custodians or U.S.-resident or foreign-resident
central securities depositories (CSDs) to manage the safekeeping of those securities (Foreign
securities in safekeeping with U.S.-resident CSDs are reportable on Schedule 2.) (See Section
III.H.) or (3) that are instruments of the type that there is no U.S. custodian to manage the
safekeeping of those securities.

•

Schedule 3:
Schedule 3 is used to report summary amounts for all foreign securities entrusted to the
safekeeping of a U.S.-resident custodian, excluding those entrusted to a U.S. - resident CSD. (See
Section III.H.).

C. EXEMPTIONS

SHCA reporters are exempt from reporting on a Schedule 3 holdings that are entrusted to
an unaffiliated U.S.-resident custodian that is not a U.S.-resident CSD, if the total fair value of
the foreign securities entrusted to that U.S.-resident custodian by the U.S. parts of the reporter’s
organization and its U.S.-resident clients whom the reporter represents as end- investor –
aggregated over all accounts - is less than US$ 200 million as of December 31.

III. WHAT SECURITIES MUST BE REPORTED
This report collects information on U.S. resident holdings of foreign portfolio securities, including
foreign equities, short-term debt securities (including selected money market instruments), and longterm debt securities. Asset-backed securities are to be reported separately from other debt securities.
Foreign securities are all securities issued by entities that are established under the laws of a foreign
country (i.e., any entity that is legally incorporated, otherwise legally organized or licensed (such as
branches) , in a foreign country) and all securities issued by international or regional organizations,
such as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD or World Bank), and the
Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), even if these organizations are physically located in the
United States.

Reportable securities may be traded or issued in the United States and in foreign countries, and
may be denominated in any currency, including euros and U.S. dollars. 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.
As an exception, foreign securities held by a U.S. depository to back depositary receipts/shares should
not be reported. Instead, the U.S.-resident holders of the depositary receipts/shares should report the
receipts/shares. This exception is necessary to identify the portion of depositary receipts/shares
actually held by U.S. residents, because many depositary receipts/shares are held by foreign residents.

A. REPORTABLE FOREIGN SECURITIES
Reportable securities include:
•

Securities issued by international and regional organizations, such as the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (IBRD or World Bank) or the Inter-American Development
Bank (IDB) whether physically located in the United States or abroad.

•

Securities issued in the United States by foreign-resident organizations (e.g., Canadian or
Mexican firms), even if they are denominated in U.S. dollars and trade on U.S. securities
exchanges.

•

Securities issued by foreign-resident subsidiaries of U.S.-resident organizations (e.g., GMAC
Canada) and foreign-resident offices of U.S. banks or U.S. broker/dealers, even if they are
guaranteed by the U.S. parent company, or issued in the United States.

•

Depositary receipts/shares, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), American
Depositary Shares (ADS), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and International Depositary
Receipts (IDRs), if the underlying securities are issued by foreign residents - (See Section III.E.).

•

Securities issued by foreign-resident entities under Section 144A of the SEC Act.

•

Money market instruments, including negotiable certificates of deposit (CDs) issued by foreignresident entities.

Equity Interests represent an ownership interest in foreign-resident organizations.
Include as equities:
•

Common stock (ordinary shares);

•

Preferred stock (participating and nonparticipating preference shares);

•

Restricted stock;

•

Depositary receipts/shares (e.g., ADRs, ADSs, GDRs, IDRs) provided the underlying securities
used to collateralize the receipts/shares are foreign securities (See Section III.E.);

•

Shares/units/other equity interests in foreign-resident funds (including mutual funds and money
market funds), index-linked funds, exchange-traded funds, private equity companies, venture
capital companies, investment trusts, common trust funds, commingled investment accounts,
hedge funds, certain private funds and other investment vehicles – (See Section III.C.);

•

U.S.-resident limited partner interests in foreign-resident limited partnerships and equity interests
in other companies that do not issue shares (General partner ownership interests are excluded.)
(See Section III. J.); and

•

Other equity securities, including privately placed equity interests.

Short-Term Debt Securities include bills, commercial paper, and other money market instruments
specified below with an original maturity of one year or less that give the holder the unconditional
right to financial assets. Asset-backed short-term debt securities should be reported as asset-backed
securities. (See below.)

Include as short-term debt securities:
•

Short-term foreign government securities;

•

Short-term bankers’ acceptances and trade acceptances;

•

Short-term commercial and financial paper, including asset-backed commercial paper;

Short-term negotiable certificates of deposit, bank notes, and deposit notes;
•

Short-term notes issued under note issuance facilities and revolving underwriting facilities, even
though the underlying facility may be for more than one year;

•

Short-term medium-term notes;

•

Short-term promissory notes;

•

Stripped securities with an original maturity of one year or less; and

•

Other short-term debt securities.

Long-Term Debt Securities (excluding asset-backed securities) include bonds and notes, with an
original maturity of over one year, that usually give the holder the unconditional right to financial
assets.

Include as long-term debt securities:
•

Bonds such as foreign treasury, zero coupon, stripped, deep-discounted, currency-linked (e.g.,
dual-currency), floating rate, equity-related (e.g., convertible bonds) bonds and Eurobonds;

•

Long-term index-linked debt securities;

•

Long-term floating rate notes (FRN), such as perpetual notes (PRN), variable rate notes (VRN),
structured FRN, reverse FRN, collared FRN, step up recovery FR (SURF), and
range/corridor/accrual notes;

•

Long-term medium-term notes;

•

Bonds with multiple call options, the last of which is more than one year after issue;

•

Long-term debentures;

•

Long-term negotiable certificates of deposit, bank notes, and deposit notes;

•

Long-term bearer depositary receipts denoting ownership of debt securities issued by
nonresidents;

•

Brady bonds;

•

Covered bonds (e.g., Pfandbriefe);

•

Long-term securities backed by a sinking fund; and

•

Other long-term debt securities.

Asset-Backed Securities are securitized interests in a pool of assets, which give the purchaser a
claim against the cash flows generated by the underlying assets. In many cases, the security’s
outstanding principal is reduced over time as principal repayments are received and passed on to the

holders of the security. Securities backed by revolving credits, such as pools of credit card
receivables, do not meet this criterion, but are still classified as ABS if the return to the holder is
based upon these credits (i.e., the credits do not merely serve as collateral). The ABS is reported if
the issuer securitizing the assets is a foreign resident. The underlying asset should not be used to
determine if the securities are reportable. Asset-backed commercial paper should be reported as
commercial paper with other short-term debt.

Include as asset-backed securities all collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), collateralized
bond obligations (CBOs), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), collateralized debt obligations
(CDOs), and other securities which give the purchaser a claim against the cash flows generated by
pools of:
•

Mortgages;

•

Credit card receivables;

•

Automobile loans;

•

Consumer and personal loans;

•

Commercial and industrial loans and other whole loans; and

•

Other assets.

B. DO NOT REPORT
Do not report any:
•

Derivative contracts (including futures, forwards, swaps, options, and warrants) meeting the
definition of a derivative under ACS 815 (formerly FAS 133). If the embedded derivative has not
been bifurcated from the host contract under FAS 133, then the security should be reported
without separating the embedded derivative from the host contract. However, if the embedded
derivative is bifurcated from the host contract, then the derivative should be excluded from the
report and the host security should be included on the report.

•

Loans and loan participation certificates;

•

Letters of credit;

•

Non-negotiable certificates of deposit ;

•

Bank deposits, including time deposits (except for negotiable CDs) and demand deposits;

•

Foreign securities temporarily acquired under reverse repurchase, borrowing, or lending
arrangements (See Section III.D.);

•

The underlying security of a depositary receipt, even if a foreign security (See Section III.E.);

•

Direct investments, including investments in real estate and general partner ownership interests
(However, limited partner ownership interests and certain private fund interests are reportable
investments.). Please review the complete definition of Direct Investment in the TIC glossary (see
Appendix G) and the list of excluded investments in these instructions to determine which
investments are direct investments reportable to the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Department
of Commerce, and not reportable on the TIC SHC(A) and the TIC SLT reports.; and

•

All U.S. securities, including:
1. Securities issued by U.S.-resident organizations, even if they are denominated in foreign
currencies or traded on foreign securities exchanges;
2. Securities issued by U.S.-resident subsidiaries of foreign-resident organizations and U.S.resident offices of foreign banks or foreign broker/dealers, even if they are guaranteed by the
foreign parent company, or issued outside of the United States;
3. Securities issued by U.S.-resident entities under Section 144A of the SEC Act;
4. Ownership of shares of U.S.-resident funds, even if the fund invests in foreign securities (See
Section III.C.); and
5. Stripped securities issued by a U.S.-resident financial institution, even if the underlying
security is a foreign security (See Section III.F.).

C. FUNDS AND RELATED EQUITY HOLDINGS
1. Report U.S. residents’ ownership of shares/units of, or other equity interests in, funds legally
established outside of the United States (foreign-resident funds) as equity securities. All U.S.
residents’ holdings of foreign-resident funds 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.

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

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

•

Money market funds;

•

Investment trusts;

•

Index-linked funds;

•

Exchange traded funds (ETFs);

•

Investment vehicles that use the money of a single investor to buy securities that the investment

vehicle owns (single investor funds);
•

Commingled accounts;

•

Investment trusts;

•

Common trust funds;

•

Hedge funds;

•

Private equity funds.

•

Certain Private Funds

The determination of whether ownership interests in a fund are foreign securities is based on the
country in which the fund is legally established, not on the type of securities the fund purchases. For
example, an interest in a fund organized in Bermuda that purchases U.S. Treasury securities is a
reportable foreign equity security. Likewise, an interest in a fund established in the United States is a
U.S. security and should be excluded from the report, even if the U.S.-resident fund invests in foreign
securities.

Many funds established outside 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 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 report staff at (212) 720-6300 or (646) 720-6300.

2. Report U.S.-resident funds’ ownership of foreign securities.
Although ownership of equity interests in U.S.-resident funds is excluded from this report, the foreign
securities owned by U.S.-resident funds are reportable. These are distinct holdings and, therefore, are
not duplicate reporting. Foreign securities owned by U.S.-resident funds should be classified as
equity, debt, or asset-backed securities, as indicated in Section III. A.

How to report hedge funds and other alternative investment vehicles
a) Investment advisors, managers, administrators or similar types of legal entities and fund
sponsors that create/manage/administer master-feeder fund structures both outside and inside
the U.S. should report any portfolio investments between the U.S. and foreign- resident
affiliate funds that the investment manager sets up.

Example 1
A U.S.-resident investment manager/fund sponsor (IM/FS) creates a Cayman master
fund, a Cayman feeder fund and a U.S. feeder fund. The investments by the U.S. IM/FS in
the Cayman funds are direct investments since the IM/FS controls the affiliated firms and
should be reported to the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis as direct
investments (except for certain funds meeting the criteria described in section III.C.3.(c)
below). However, the investment that the U.S. feeder fund has in the Cayman Master Fund is
portfolio investment and should be reported on the SHCA by the IM/FS as the representative
of the
U.S. feeder fund as the owner (end-investor). However, if a U.S. custodian holds the equity
interests of the U.S feeder fund in the foreign master fund, then the U.S. custodian would
have the responsibility of reporting those interests on the SHCA.
Example 2
A foreign-resident IM/FS sets up a Cayman master fund, a Cayman feeder fund, and a
U.S. feeder fund. The investments between the foreign IM/FS and the U.S. feeder fund are
direct investment since the foreign IM/FS controls the feeder fund (except for certain funds
meeting the criteria described in section III.C.3.(c) below). However, the equity investment
that the U.S. feeder fund has in the foreign master fund is portfolio investment and should
be reported by the U.S. feeder fund as ownership of foreign equity on the SHCA. If a U.S.
custodian holds the equity interest of the U.S. feeder in the foreign master fund, then the U.S.
custodian would have the responsibility of reporting on the SHCA.
b) Exclude any investment between the investment manager, administrator or other entity that
formed the funds (as a general partner) and all the entities it creates. These are direct
investments and should be reported to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, except as noted in
section III.C.3.(c) immediately below.
c)

Direct investment exception for certain private funds (see Direct Investment in Appendix G, Glossary)
There is an exception to the rule that investments in foreign entities of 10 percent or more of
their voting interest by a U.S. entity are excluded from TIC reports - investments in certain
private funds, or between the entities of a certain private fund, are included in TIC surveys
regardless of ownership share if they meet BOTH of the following criteria:
•

The foreign private fund entity does not own, directly or indirectly through another

business enterprise, an “operating company” – i.e., a business enterprise that is not a private
fund or a holding company - in which the U.S. parent owns at least 10 percent of the voting
interest,

AND
•

If the U.S. entity owns the foreign private fund entity indirectly (through one or more

other business enterprises), there are no “operating companies” between the U.S. parent and
the indirectly-owned foreign private fund entity.
Guidance on the decision to report investments in certain private funds or between entities of
certain private funds in the TIC system or in BEA surveys can be found at:
https://www.bea.gov/privatefunds. Use the tool labeled “U.S. Investments in Foreign Private Funds.”

Note on this section 3: The descriptions of the various examples are based on common
master/feeder fund structures. It is possible for there to be different types of structures when
creating these funds and they may be called different names by some entities. Ultimately, if
the
U.S. entity 1) has less than 10% voting interest in the foreign entity, 2) non-voting interest in
the foreign private fund, or 3) meets the criteria above regarding “operating companies,” it is
not treated as a direct investment and will fall into the category of portfolio investment and
must be reported as part of the TIC system. All U.S. entities that do not meet requirements 1),
2), or 3) must be reported as part of the BEA’s direct investment surveys.

4. Fund ownership by Pension and Retirement Plans (including those of State and Local
governments, including municipalities).
As mentioned in section II.A.2 above, reporting is the responsibility of the manager of a
fund, partnership, trust, etc, if they have discretion over investments of the
fund/partnership/trust/etc. In that case the actual end-investor(s) should not report so that
there is no double counting in the overall TIC data system.

A pension plan holds foreign investments through (a) onshore funds (including funds of
hedge funds) and (b) offshore funds (including funds of hedge funds). For the purposes of
TIC, the requirement to report is based on the country in which the fund is legally
established.

(a)

The investments in onshore U.S funds (including funds of hedge funds) are

investments in U.S.-resident entities and are therefore not reportable on the SHCA.

(b)

The investments in offshore funds (including funds of hedge funds) are

investments in foreign-resident entities, and are therefore reportable on the SHCA.
Only the shares of the funds themselves are reportable (not their underlying
investments), and only if the pension investments are portfolio investment. Please
review the definition of Direct Investment in the TIC glossary (see Appendix G) and
the list of excluded investments in these instructions to determine which investments
are direct investments reportable to the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the
Department of Commerce, and not reportable on the TIC SHC(A) and the TIC SLT
reports. If a U.S. custodian holds the foreign portfolio interests in the offshore funds
on behalf of the pension plans, the U.S. custodian would have the reporting
responsibility to report on the TIC SHC (A) and the TIC Form SLT.

A foreign-resident pension fund is a legal entity established outside the United States to provide
retirement benefits exclusively for foreign residents and is not required to file TIC reports. Investments
by foreign-resident pension funds in U.S. securities are reportable by U.S.-resident custodians and fund
managers as described elsewhere in the instructions for the TIC SLT and SHL(A)..

D. SECURITIES INVOLVED IN REPURCHASE AND SECURITIES LENDING
ARRANGEMENTS
A repurchase agreement (repo) is an arrangement involving the sale of securities at a specified price
for cash with a commitment to repurchase the same or similar securities at a specified price on a
future date. A 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. All of these arrangements, as well
as buy/sell agreements, should be treated as follows:
•

Securities sold under repurchase agreements or lent under securities lending arrangements, or
collateral provided, should be reported by the original owner of the securities (or their U.S.resident custodian) as if the securities were continuously held; that is, as if the repurchase or
security lending agreement did not exist. Thus, if a U.S. resident transferred a foreign security
under a repurchase or securities lending arrangement, the U.S. resident (or their U.S.-resident
custodian) transferring the security should include it in its Schedule 2 or Schedule 3 records. The
country reported should be the country of the issuer of the security and not the country of the
counterparty to the repo or other agreement.

•

Securities, including collateral, temporarily acquired by U.S. residents under reverse repurchase
or borrowing or lending arrangements should not be reported.

•

However, if cash was temporarily received as collateral and was used to purchase securities, those
securities should be reported.

E. DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS/SHARES
Depositary receipts/shares, including American depositary receipts (ADRs) or bearer depositary
receipts should be attributed to the country of residence of the issuer of the security underlying the
depositary receipt/share. Issuers of depositary receipts/shares should not report their holdings of the
actual foreign securities. Only U.S. residents’ holdings of depositary receipts/shares should be
reported.

In addition, the security type reported should be determined based on the security underlying the
depositary receipt/share. For example, if the underlying security is foreign common stock then the
security type reported in Item 7 of the Schedule 2 should be 1 (common stock).

F. STRIPPED SECURITIES
Stripped securities 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 country of residence of a stripped security is the country of residence of the entity that issued the
stripped security, not the country of residence of the entity that issued the underlying security.
Stripped securities issued by foreign residents, (the interest-only (IO) component, the principal-only

(PO) component and tranches of stripped asset-backed securities), and held by U.S. residents are
reportable. If a U.S.-resident financial institution issued the stripped securities, the issuer of the
stripped securities should report its ownership of the underlying foreign securities. Exclude U.S.
residents’ holdings of stripped securities issued by a U.S.-resident financial institution.

G. DIRECT INVESTMENT. Please see Appendix G

H. SECURITIES HELD BY CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORIES
Foreign securities entrusted to U.S.-resident custodians that are in turn held at a U.S.-resident central
securities depository (such as the Depository Trust Company or the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York), or a foreign-resident central securities depository (such as Euroclear or Clearstream), must be
reported by the U.S.-resident custodian, not by the U.S. or foreign-resident central securities
depository. Likewise, foreign securities held by a U.S.-resident end-investor directly with a U.S.resident or foreign-resident central securities depository must be reported by the U.S.-resident endinvestor, not by the central securities depository.
Foreign securities provided to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) for discount window
loan collateral must be reported by the “lender” of the securities, not by the FRBNY.

I. COUNTRY ATTRIBUTION
Except for securities issued by international and regional organizations and depositary receipts,
securities should be reported based upon the country of residence of the issuer of the securities. The
country of residence of any entity is where it is legally incorporated or otherwise legally organized,
with the exception of bank branches, whose country of residence is the country where they are
licensed. In cases where a foreign subsidiary of a U.S.-resident organization issues a reportable
security, report these securities in the country where the foreign subsidiary is resident if the security is
the direct legal obligation of the foreign subsidiary.
Depositary receipts should be attributed to the country of residence of the issuer of the security
underlying the depositary receipt.
Securities issued by international and regional organizations are not allocated to the country in which
the international or regional organization is located. The country attribution for most international
and regional organizations are regional group codes: 72907, 73903, 74918, 74942, 75906, 76902, and
77909. Refer to Appendix D for a list of international and regional organizations.
A few international and regional organizations have their own geographic classification (country)
codes in the Appendix and those codes should be used in reporting on the SHCA.
Attribution of country of residence of the issuer should not be affected by the currency of issue or by
the country of a guarantor.

J. LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
U.S.- resident limited partner interests in foreign-resident limited partnerships should be reported as
Other Equity (Schedule 2, Item 12 = 4). Limited partners’ ownership does not carry voting rights;
therefore, such ownership, even if greater than 10%, is reportable. The Number of Shares Held field
on the Schedule 2 (Item 19) should be defaulted to the value reported in the US$ Fair Value field
(Item 17) because limited partnerships do not issue shares.
U.S.-resident general partner interests in foreign-resident limited partnerships may be considered to
be direct investment and are excluded from this report. However, see the direct investment exception
for certain private funds in section III.C.3.(c) (see also Direct Investment in the glossary).

K. 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 value of securities as of close of business on the last business day of December 2017.
The fair value follows the definition of ASC 820 (formerly FAS 157). 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 value is the
product of the number of trading units times that market price. For coupon bonds, valuations should
be based on “clean” prices, that is, excluding accrued interest. For securities that do not regularly
trade, the estimate of fair value should be based on the best information available in the
circumstances. The estimate of fair value should consider prices for similar assets and the results of
valuation techniques to the extent available in the circumstances. Examples of valuation techniques
include discounted cash flow, matrix pricing, option-adjusted spread models and fundamental
analysis.
For asset-backed securities, the fair value of the unpaid principal amount outstanding at close of
business on the last business day of December should be reported; if principal has been repaid, this
fair value will not be the same as the original face value revalued at end-period market prices.
U.S.-resident custodians should, at a minimum, report the fair value to the extent that it is available as

part of their normal services provided to customers, even if the price available is prior to the last
business day of December. If there is doubt as to whether to report the available fair value or to
report a fair value of zero, please contact FRBNY report staff at (212) 720-6300 or (646) 720-6300.
Foreign Currency Denominated Securities – Calculation of U.S. Dollar Values
If the security is not denominated in U.S. dollars (US$) and a US$ fair value is not available in your
system, convert the foreign currency denominated fair value into US$ using the spot exchange rate as
of the close of business on the last business day of December. 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 security issued in Japan is ¥ 200,000, 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$1.75/UK£, then multiply foreign currency values by the US$ exchange rate value of the foreign
currency to obtain US$ values. For example, if the value of a security issued in the United Kingdom
is UK £1,000, multiply UK £1,000 by 1.75 to obtain US$ 1,750.

L. DATA RETENTION PERIOD
The reporter must retain all data used to create this report for a period of 36 months from the date of
