American Equity Markets

any voting right
22. Violating the regulations & requirements of SEC leads to de-listing from U.S
Stock exchange
Foreign exchange risk i.e. currency of issuer is different from currency of DR
ADR issued companies have to pay high managing and annual fees
Political risk
24. There is a huge scope for good performing
Indian companies to raise funds through
ADRs
Currently no Indian Companies are going
for raising funds through ADR, because of
instability in currency, interest rates and
other macro factors
Once an ADR is priced and sold on the
market, its price is determined by supply
and demand, just like an ordinary stock
Raising Equity through ADR will generate
more volume and higher safety for the
company to withstand its value globally
More and more companies are cross
listing shares thus broadening the
international equity market
Indian mutual fund can convert its ADR
holdings to domestic shares and sell it in
the domestic market, increasing arbitrage
opportunity
Editor's Notes
#5: DRs: It is a negotiable financial instrument issued by a bank to represent a foreign company's publicly traded securities
ADRs:
It is a negotiable security representing securities of a non-US company trading in the US financial markets
It is denominated in US dollars and may be traded like regular shares of stock
Each ADR represents a specific number of shares (one or more) in a foreign corporation
ADRs are traded on NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX in the United States
#7: Because of complexity involved in buying and trading of shares if foreign countries and its differing currencies; ADRS were introduced in the financial market in the year 1927
US banks (acting as depositories) simply purchase a bulk lot of shares from the foreign company
There are more than 2,000 ADRs available representing shares of companies located in more than 70 countries
Reliance Industries was the first Indian company to be listed on NYSE in 1992 and Infosys Technologies was the first Indian company to be listed on NASDAQ in 1999
#20: ADR is 1:3, so it gives Arbitrage option
Value of Share in US market is $60.56
And in BSE Market it is Rs. 1050.30,
If the investor trades in the US market and converts it using the cross-border transaction where by giving the chance to the local investor to earn the value.
Intra-Market vs. Cross-Border Transactions
Suppose an investor who is holding Depository Receipts wishes to sell them. The investor has to first notify his broker. The broker can either sell the Depository Receipts in the US market through an intra-market transaction where the Depository Receipts are sold to subsequent US investors by transferring them from the existing holder (who is now the seller) to the new holder (who is the buyer). Intra-market trading accounts for approximately 95% of all Depository Receipt trading. The investor can also sell the shares back into the home market through a cross-border transaction. In this case, the US broker surrenders the Depository Receipts to the depository bank, so as to deliver the shares to a buyer in the home market. The depository bank cancels the Depository Receipt and instructs the custodian to release the underlying shares and delivers them to the local broker. The Indian broker pays for
them in equivalent Rupees that are converted into dollars by the US broker.
#24: Political risk In order the company to issue ADR for generating equity must be aware of its government stability
Forex risk ADR shares track the shares in the home country, devaluation of home currency can trigger down the ADR creating a big loss to the company
