American Depositary Receipt

An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a security issued by a U.S. bank that represents ownership of shares in a foreign company. ADRs enable U.S. investors to invest in foreign companies without the need to trade on foreign exchanges or deal with foreign currency transactions. When a foreign company decides to issue an ADR, it works with a U.S. bank to establish a sponsored or unsponsored ADR program.

ADRs are traded on U.S. exchanges just like any other U.S.-listed stock, and their prices are quoted in U.S. dollars. Investors who hold ADRs...
