| Shaan23 | I thought ADR"s do eliminate currency risk. We're investing domestically due to them and no longer have to invest our domestic current in foreign markets to attain the shares |
| CJPerugini | ^ That was what I thought at first too. The only thing that ADRs provide investors is the convenience of not having to convert their US$ to foreign currency. You are still indirectly subjected to currency risk. |
| ascruggs92 | Buying ADR's eliminates currency risk for you as an individual, but it does not eliminate currency risk for the company, which means that it effects you as a shareholder. |
| forry9er | I saw "Eliminate" and immediately thought B & C could not be true. "Mitigate" maybe, "eliminate?" impossible. |
| thevinu | ADRs DO NOT eliminate CURRENCY RISK, it ONLY eliminates the CONVERSION RISK. |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
