American Depositary Receipts

An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a receipt issued by the US in a foreign company.  A US investor wishing to invest in a foreign company may find it easier to buy ADRs than to buy the underlying shares directly.  ADRs are priced in dollars and may be traded OTC or on an exchange.
