(ADR).
Certificate of ownership issued by a US bank to investors in place of underlying corporate shares, which are held in custody.
The benefits of ADRs to investors include reduced administrative burdens.
The benefits to non-US issuers include lighter regulation, compared with listing the underlying shares directly on a US exchange.
Sometime also written American depository receipt.
