So U.S. becomes the world’s capital magnet?
Since 2007, foreign ownership of U.S. financial assets has grown at an annual rate of 7.2%, far outpacing the 4.7% growth rate of U.S. ownership of foreign assets, reflecting the sustained global appetite for U.S. markets.
While in Q1 2025, foreign investors held over $55 trillion in U.S. financial assets—almost 1.6 times the value of U.S. holdings abroad—underscoring America’s increasingly solid position as a net capital importer.
Key turning points include the 2008 financial crisis and the 2020 pandemic, when U.S. equities and dollar assets attracted even more safe-haven flows, widening the gap further.
