What is ADR
• ADR- American Depositary ReceiptsA negotiable certificate issued by a U.S. bank Represents a specified number of shares of a
foreign company ADRs are denominated in U.S. dollars.
How does ADR/GDR work ?
• Let us take Infosys example – trades on the Indian stock at around Rs.2000/-
• This is equivalent to US$ 40 – assume for simplicity • Now a US bank purchases 10000 shares of Infosys and issues them in
US in the ratio of 10:1• This means each ADR purchased is worth 10 Infosys shares. • Quick calculation means 1 ADR = US $400• Once ADR are priced and sold, its subsequent price is determined by
supply and demand factors, like any ordinary shares.
ADR RATIO
• Single
1 ADR = 1 SHARE
ADR Ratio = 1:1
• Multiple
1 ADR = 5 SHARES
ADR Ratio = 1:5
• Fraction
1 ADR = ½ SHARE
ADR Ratio = 2:1
