Depositary Receipts may be purchased like any other U.S. security. They trade on all the major exchanges (NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ) and in the Over-The-Counter "Pink Sheet" market. It is easy to invest in non-U.S. companies through Depositary Receipts. Below are three ways to help you purchase Depositary Receipts:

Global BuyDIRECT

Global BuyDIRECT, a Direct and Sale/Dividend Reinvestment Plan sponsored by the Bank of New York, offers investors the opportunity to purchase Depositary Receipts at commissions that are typically less than a retail broker.

BNY Brokerage
