An American depositary receipt (ADR) is a certificate that represents shares of a foreign company traded on U.S. stock exchanges. It allows investors to buy and sell parts of a foreign company's stock easily, much like purchasing shares of a company based in their own country. ADRs make international investing more convenient and accessible for U.S. investors.
level i adrfinancial
A Level I ADR is a basic U.S. certificate that represents shares of a foreign company and allows those shares to trade on over‑the‑counter (OTC) markets rather than major U.S. stock exchanges. Think of it as a storefront window in a quieter neighborhood: it gives U.S. investors access to a foreign stock with lower setup costs and fewer reporting requirements, but usually brings lower liquidity, less transparency and potentially higher trading risk.

A CUSIP is a nine-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a U.S. or Canadian financial security—such as a stock, bond, or fund share—like a Social Security number for an investment. It matters to investors because brokers, exchanges and record-keepers use the CUSIP to match trades, track ownership, settle transactions and pull accurate records, reducing errors and ensuring money and securities go to the right place.

A 12-character International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) is a unique code that acts like a passport for a specific stock, bond or other tradable security so it can be identified worldwide. Investors and systems use it to ensure they are buying, selling and tracking the exact same instrument across exchanges and data feeds, which prevents costly mix-ups and makes portfolio reporting, settlement and regulatory checks simpler and more reliable.
