American Depository Shares market

"AMERICAN DEPOSITORY SHARES | CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS"

American depository shares are U.S.-listed securities that stand in for a foreign company’s ordinary shares, held by a U.S. bank which issues the ADS so investors can trade the foreign stock in U.S. dollars and on U.S. exchanges. Think of them like a locally wrapped version of a foreign product—easier to buy and sell at home—but they still carry risks from currency differences, foreign rules and potential limits on voting rights, so they affect access, liquidity and investment risk.
