Basic Knowledge On ADR Investing
If one is an American citizen, it is actually possible for him to be able to invest in stocks outside of the country. Now these types of stocks are known as American depository receipts or simply ADRs. Of course if one would want to go into ADR investing, then there are actually a few things that one would have to take note of before he would go through with it.
Now for those who do not know what these types of stocks are, basically, they are foreign shares that are jammed into one stock that can be traded in America. Now if one has always wanted to trade foreign stocks but live in America, now is his chance to do so. Of course in order to invest in these stocks, he has to go through a broker first.
Now there are three different types of American depository receipts that one can invest in. There would be the first level receipts, the second level ones, and of course the third level ones. They differ in how much profit one can make from them and how hard they are to acquire.
Now the first ones are the level one receipts which are the ones that are the easiest to acquire. They are easy to get simply because the Security of Commissions Exchange or SEC does not require that many requirements from an investor. The only catch here is that these stocks can only be bought in over the counter markets and they do not really yield big profits unlike the next two.
The second one will obviously get more profits but will also have more requirements as well. Now these stocks are listed in the exchange so one will be able to see the stock quotes by looking at the American stock exchange. He will also be able to see the stock quotes on Nasdaq as well.
The final one on the list is known as the high level ones and are known to be the one that give the most profit. Now these are the ones that are also the most visible in the American stock market as they are really highlighted. Now these ones are also the ones that would have the most number of requirements by the Security of Commissions Exchange or SEC.
Now these are a great alternative to traditionally going to a broker and investing in foreign stocks. The reason why this is better is because the foreign taxes that go with each transaction are taken away which means that one does not need to pay those taxes anymore. Also, the transaction costs that would go along with the investments are significantly lesser as well.
So as one can see, he can really benefit from investing in these kinds of investments. Of course one has to take note of the inflation rates of the countries in which he is investing in because they do play a role in investments since he is investing with the dollar. So it is best that those who are still new at this would be conservative and play very safe.
