`
`If you‘re interested in international investing, choosing investments registered with the Securities
`
`and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the safest choice. The SEC regulates foreign stocks and
`
`other assets traded on the exchanges, and foreign companies must file reports with them.
`
`When foreign companies register with the SEC, you're able to use the financial reports they file
`
`as sources of information alongside reputable analyst reports and data from company websites
`
`to help you determine whether an international investment is right for your portfolio.

`
`SEC Filings
`
`The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requires all publicly traded US. and foreign
`
`companies to report financial information from their annual reports to the SEC. Foreign
`
`companies traded in the U.S. are also required to make yearly filings containing the same
`
`information if listed on U.S. exchanges.
`
`
`The SEC makes foreign and domestic company filings available through their EDGAR
`
`database, making it a quick and easy way to find financial information. Some specialty services
`
`like SECFiIings.com or Edgar Online offer customizable alerts and other features.
`
`There are several reports filed with the SEC. The most common are:
`
`10-K (Annual Report): Annual reports provide investors with a detailed overview of a
`
`company's fiscal year, including financial statements and a discussion of the results by
`
`management in plain English terms.

`10-Q (Quarterly Report): Quarterly reports provide a slightly less comprehensive
`
`overview of a company's quarter and include financial statements from the period and

`
`some management discussion.
`
`8-K (Current Event): Current event reports cover any material events that affect the
`
`company. ranging from fundamental press releases to new partnerships.
`
`Form 3, 4, and 5 (Insider Trading): Insider trading reports provide investors with
`
`notifications whenever company insiders purchase or sell shares, which can be an
`
`essential indicator when done outside of stock plans.
`
`Schedule 13D and 1136 (Institutional Investment): Institutional investment reports
`
`provide investors with notifications when an entity (such as a hedge fund or mutual fund)
`
`acquires a significant stake.
`
`Many foreign companies trade on U.S. exchanges as American Depository Receipts (ADRs).
`
`ADRs are receipts that reflect the price of a company's stock in their home country.
`
`Some foreign companies file SEC reports, and others file foreign issuer reports that can be
`
`much more difficult to access and parse for useful information. Other foreign businesses trading
`
`on non—U.S. exchanges often file only with their own country's regulatory body. Unfortunately,
`
`these fiIings may appear in foreign languages and can be much more challenging to analyze
`
`than SEC filings.

`
`20-F (Annual Report): These annual reports follow generally accepted accounting
`
`principles (GAAP), which standardize the reports and help investors understand and
`
`compare companies.

`
`6-K (Quarterly/Current): These are the foreign version of 8-K reports, including 10-Q-
`
`type information for most ADRs.
`
`Corporate Website
`
`Corporate websites can contain a wealth of information about a company, from financial
`
`statements and annual investor reports to news and press releases. Companies also publish
`
`financial presentations and investor contact information. It's usually much easier to find financial
`
`data on company websites than at government agencies.
`
`International investors looking for information benefit from these types of reports, as much of the
`
`time they cover information for shareholders not covered in SEC filings.
`
`Financial Statements
`
`Financial statements generally include a summary of a company's assets, liabilities, and equity,
`
`called a balance sheet. The income statement summarizes revenues and expenses, and a
`
`statement of cash flows tells you how well a company is using its cash to pay for operations,
`
`debts, and investments.
`
`These statements might be named differently in various countries, but they cover the same
`
`information in general.
`
`The International Finance Reporting Standards Foundation (IFRS) and the
`
`International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) provide investor information that
`
`can help you determine which countries follow reporting standards and work to
`
`standardize financial statements globally.
`
`Company Presentations
`
`Company presentations can provide an excellent overview of past performance and projections
`
`for the coming quarters or year. Many companies upload investor informational presentations
`
`under an investor relations section on their websites.

`
`Contact Information
`
`Investor contacts, such as Investor Relations Officers, are excellent resources for investors
`
`looking for data they can't find elsewhere.
`
`Analyst Reports
`
`Securities analysts can be a great source of information for investors. While sell—side analysts—
`
`analysts whose work focuses on selling investments—may be biased at times, they still offer
`
`some valuable information in a single location. This makes the research a lot easier, especially
`
`for international investors.
`
`While good sources of information, use analyst reports with caution. They are geared
`
`toward institutions and are focused on their purposes, not the goals of individual
`
`investors.
`
`Buy-side analysts—analysts that work for mutual funds or institutions that purchase investments
`
`—are an even better source of information since they are typically not as biased, but their
`
`research usually isn't as widely available.
`
`Analyst reports are sometimes found on investor-focused websites such as Morningstar and
`
`Yahoo Finance. Stockbrokers also provide information for investors on their websites,
`
`newsletters, or other correspondence.
