What should I know about ADR fees?
ADR fees are fees associated with American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) that may be charged by the institution servicing the relevant ADR program.
How are ADR fees charged?
The ADR fee is charged by participants in the ADR custody and settlement chain and passed on to the beneficial holder of the ADR. EuroFinance does not determine the amount of this fee and does not add any markup to it.
How much is the ADR fee?
The fee depends on the specific ADR program and is determined by the relevant ADR agent/depository. In practice, the fee is often a fixed amount per share, for example around USD 0.02 per share, but the actual amount may vary.
When is the ADR fee charged?
The fee is normally charged once per year and is based on the number of ADRs held on a specified record date for the relevant ADR program.
How will the ADR fee be charged to the client?
When an ADR fee is charged to EuroFinance by the relevant depository or another participant in the custody chain, it is passed on to the client without any markup and shown as a separate charge on the client's account.
