About ADRs & OTCQX Exchange ADRs are commonly used to allow U.S. investors to buy securities issued by non-U.S. companies. An ADR is created when a broker purchases the company's shares on the company's home stock market and delivers those to the depositary's local bank, which then instructs the depositary bank in the United States to issue Depositary Receipts. Depositary Receipts may trade freely, just like any other security, on the US Over-the-Counter (OTC) and other U.S. market exchanges.
