It's not hard to understand the world's enthusiasm for U.S. investments. No other international financial market comes close to the size, accessibility, transparency and liquidity of U.S. stock markets. The U.S. stock markets represent the biggest single concentration of wealth in history. In terms of market capitalization, no other financial market comes close to the combined U.S. stock markets. As of the end of 2009, the market capitalization of the NYSE was valued at US11.84 trillion. Just looking at the NYSE alone, the value of share trading for the whole year of 2007 was 5 times that of London, 4.5 times that of Tokyo, and 12 times that of Hong Kong. U.S. markets are still the biggest in terms of turnover as well as value. That means there's a very high chance of finding a buyer or seller of any particular stock at any given time. U.S. markets offer access to a huge variety of U.S. companies seeking to raise capital. With almost 6,000 companies to select from, you can invest in major companies and brands from all over the world who list their shares on U.S. financial markets.

American Depositary Receipt (ADR)

ADRs allow investors to invest in non-U.S. companies and give non-U.S. companies easier access to the U.S. capital markets . Hence, an ADR is a stock that trades in the United States but represents a specified number of shares in a foreign corporation.

ADR agents (banks and investment banks) purchase stocks on foreign exchanges and then sell receipts for these shares on American exchanges. ADR agents charge these ADR fees to compensate for inventorying the foreign stocks and all other costs involving registration, compliance and recordkeeping services.

The ADR Fees will vary for each counter and you will be billed according to your shareholdings on record date for each ADR shares.
