Global Depositary Receipt - GDR

What Does Global Depositary Receipt - GDR Mean?
1. A bank certificate issued in more than one country for
shares in a foreign company. The shares are held by a
foreign branch of an international bank. The shares trade
as domestic shares, but are offered for sale globally
through the various bank branches.

2. A financial instrument used by private markets to raise
capital denominated in either U.S. dollars or euros.

Investopedia explains Global Depositary Receipt - GDR in
plain english...
1. A GDR is very similar to an American Depositary Receipt.

2. These instruments are called EDRs when private markets
are attempting to obtain euros.

Answer / bloody idiot

GDR (Global Depository Receipt)
/ADR (American Depository Receipt)

GDR/ADR are the depository receipts - Certificate issued by
Banks (in case of ADR Federal Reserve)

GDR is exclusively issued in European market / sans US
Markets.

In US exclusively ADR is issued.


Now for the concept, When a Co. wants to trade its
shares/equity on Foreign Exchange it can do so my issuing
ADR/GDR which are issued by Central Bank.

e.g. If a Indian Co. wants to get itself listed on NYSE,
then a broker in US via its subsidiary/hand in India
purchases the shares from Indian Market and deposits the
same with Indian Depository Bank. The depository Bank in
turn communicates to US Federal Reserve that the shares are
deposited and upon this the Federal Reserve issues ADR
which gets listed and are tradable just as any other
security on NYSE. Every ADR/GDR must shown the no. of
shares represented by it and also its rate in $ (ADR) /
pounds (GDR).

The only diff. between ADR and GDR is that ADR is
exclusively traded in American Markets and GDR can be
traded Globally.

I hope this explained the situation in a simplified manner.
