American Depositary Receipt (ADR) programme
How you can invest in Severn Trent Group if you based in the United States of America.
An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a negotiable United States certificate representing ownership of shares in a non-US corporation.
How an American Depositary Receipt works
ADRs were specifically designed to facilitate the purchase, holding and sale of non-US securities by US investors and to provide a corporate finance vehicle for non-US companies.
ADRs are quoted and traded in US dollars in the US securities market. Dividend payments are also paid in US dollars.
The benefits of ADRs for US investors
