ADR FAQs
What is an ADS / ADR?
American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) are US dollar-denominated equity instruments represented by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) issued by a depositary bank that facilitate U.S. trading and investment in shares of non-US companies.
They represent ownership of certain equity securities (the ‘underlying shares’) that are issued and trade in a company’s home market. Each ADR represents a certain number of underlying ordinary shares (for Abcam the ratio is 1:1), but trade independently of them.
What are the benefits of ADRs to US investors?
ADRs are a convenient and cost-effective way for US investors to buy shares in international companies. US investors may prefer to purchase ADRs rather than ordinary shares in the issuer’s home market because ADRs trade, clear and settle according to US market conventions. ADRs also allow easy comparison to securities of similar companies as well as access to price and trading information.
Summary:
- Stocks are quoted in US dollars
- ADRs trade during normal US trading hours
- They settle and clear according to US standards
- No need for custody arrangements outside of US
- Facilitates price comparisons between securities
- Facilitates foreign equity diversification
