The Things To Know About ADR Investing

By Katina Brady


These days, there are so many investment opportunities that one can avail of. One of the best investment activities that one can avail if one is in America would be ADR investing or investing in an American depository receipt. So for those who would want to try out this type of opportunities, then he should know some of the basic things of these investments.

Now for those who do not know what these types of stocks are, basically, they are foreign shares that are jammed into one stock that can be traded in America. Now if one has always wanted to trade foreign stocks but live in America, now is his chance to do so. Of course in order to invest in these stocks, he has to go through a broker first.

Of course there are three kinds of depository receipts that one can get. Now these types are the level one receipts, the level two receipts, and of course the last one are the level three receipts. The two main things that would separate them are how hard they are to get and how much one can make from them.

Now the low level ones are obviously the less difficult ones to get but these are also the ones that would give low profits. Another thing about these low level ones are that they can only be found in an over the counter market and not in the stock exchange. Also, one does not need to submit that many requirements to the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to acquire this kind of stock.

The second one will obviously get more profits but will also have more requirements as well. Now these stocks are listed in the exchange so one will be able to see the stock quotes by looking at the American stock exchange. He will also be able to see the stock quotes on Nasdaq as well.

The final type of investment is the level three receipt which is the one that would give the highest earnings. Now these are the types of stocks that would be really highlighted in the stock exchange because they are the most prestigious ones. Now they would also have the most number of requirements from the SEC.

Now if one has always wanted to invest in stocks but could not, now is the best chance. What makes ADRs great is that one can actually invest in foreign companies like he is investing in local regular stocks. Another great thing about them is that one can avoid foreign taxes and the transaction costs will end up much lesser.

So as one can see, he can really benefit from investing in these kinds of investments. Of course one has to take note of the inflation rates of the countries in which he is investing in because they do play a role in investments since he is investing with the dollar. So it is best that those who are still new at this would be conservative and play very safe.
