About American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)
An ADR is a negotiable certificate that represents ownership in securities
of a non U.S. company. ADRs are issued by a sponsoring U.S. bank and
denominated in U.S. dollars. An ADR represents a specified number of
shares (or one share) in a foreign stock that is traded on a U.S. exchange.
ADRs allow foreign companies shares to be traded in a similar manner to
shares in U.S. companies on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the
American Stock Exchange (AMEX), Nasdaq and the over-the-counter (OTC)
market. ADRs enable U.S. citizens to acquire shares in a foreign company
without the need for cross border or cross currency transactions. Any
dividends and capital gains are in U.S. dollars.
