Where To Get Information on American Depositary Receipts

American Depositary Receipts, or ADR's, are the U.S. form of a foreign stock. ADR investors should be able to find just about all they need between worldyinvestor.com and www.adr.com, a site produced by J.P. Morgan and Thomson Financial/Carson. Each site has deep and well-presented information, both for ADRs listed on U.S. exchanges and those that are not listed but trade "over the counter" among U.S. market makers.

Overall, Worldly has a deeper database of ADRs than adr.com, although adr.com offers some features that an intense stock researcher might find useful. Yahoo! has strong info on ADR's, too, but it does not have data for unlisted ADRs, only news.
