Beginning 2009:Q1, series is discontinued reflecting the shift of investment banks to the holding company sector. Through 2008:Q4, series estimated as total corporate bonds outstanding of investment banks and security brokers and dealers less corporate bonds outstanding of security brokers and dealers ( FOF series FL663163003). The estimated value of total corporate bonds outstanding for investment banks and security brokers and dealers was based on unadjusted transactions data obtained on a monthly basis from FR Board CM Publicly Offered Corporate Bonds and Notes report, Domestic, IB through 2008:Q1. The level was obtained by adding three months' transactions to the preceding level. For 2008:Q2 through 2008:Q4, unadjusted transactions are held constant due to discontinuation of the data source.
