1.Corporate borrowings are classified under level 1 of the fair value hierarchy; quoted prices in an active market are available. 2.Non-recourse borrowings are classified under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy with the exception of certain borrowings at our U.K. port operation, which are classified under level 1. For level 2 fair values, future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward interest rates at the end of the reporting period. 3.$20 million of preferred shares issued to wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield. The fair value of our partnership’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant inputs for Brookfield Infrastructure’s financial assets and financial liabilities:
US$ MILLIONS | Fair value hierarchy |  | June 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Marketable securities | Level 1(1) |  | $ | 687 |  |  | $ | 526 |

1.Valuation technique: Quoted bid prices in an active market. 2.Valuation technique: Discounted cash flow. Future cash flows are estimated based on forward exchange and interest rates (from observable forward exchange and interest rates at the end of the reporting period) and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects our credit risk and the credit risk of various counterparties. 3.Valuation technique: Discounted cash flow. Future cash flows primarily driven by assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates.
