American Depositary Receipts ( ADRs )

American Depositary Receipts (ADR) are negotiable tools for securities issued by a US bank or a broker to represent a particular amount of shares in an international organization but are listed and can be traded in US exchanges. With ADR’s paying dividends in US dollars and their flexibility to be traded like normal shares, companies now have the luxury of buying foreign stocks in abundance with the liberty of using them on the US exchanges.

ADRs can be found listed on Nasdaq, NYSE, Amex and can be also traded OTC ( Over-the-Counter). Before the introduction of ADRs, American Investors were bound to buy shares on international exchanges only, which involved extra expense over currency exchange and differences in foreign jurisdiction and regulation. Without a US presence, it was riskier for investors to put their money on foreign companies.
