Abstract: Form SLT is part of the Treasury International Capital (TIC) reporting system, which is required by law (22 U.S.C. § 286f; 22 U.S.C. § 3103; E.O. 10033; 31 C.F.R. Part 128) for the purpose of providing timely information on international capital movements. Form SLT is used to collect monthly data on cross-border ownership by U.S. and foreign residents of long-term securities, purchases and sales of long-term securities, and changes in fair value of long-term securities, for portfolio investment purposes. These data are used by the U.S. Government in the formulation of international and financial policies and for the preparation of the U.S. balance of payments accounts and the U.S. international investment position. Form SLT is filed by U.S.-resident custodians, U.S.-resident issuers of long-term securities, and U.S.-resident end-investors (including endowments, foundations, pension funds, mutual funds, and other investment managers/advisors/sponsors) in long-term foreign securities.
