GDRs and ADRs represent ownership of shares in a foreign company but are traded on exchanges outside of the company&#8217;s home country. These instruments allow investors to diversify their portfolios by gaining exposure to foreign markets without the complexities of directly purchasing and holding foreign securities. GDRs and ADRs serve as convenient and efficient means for companies to raise capital globally while providing investors with opportunities to invest in foreign companies with relative ease and familiarity. Understanding the mechanics and differences between GDRs and ADRs is essential for investors seeking to participate in international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"
