Marquette de Bary Co. plays a key role for its clients in their dealings in non-U.S. securities.

Most international equity market securities of any consequence are actively traded as ordinary shares or as American Depository Receipts (ADRs) on U.S. exchanges or in the over-the-counter market at prices closely related to their home markets.

International arbitrage effectively eliminates currency risk for investors who buy ADRs for companies of their own country. Foreign ordinary shares are also often traded in the same U.S.-based over-the-counter market. Unlike many brokers, we do not charge a premium commission on transactions in foreign securities.

Order executions are made by de Bary's trading desk in New York at net prices plus low commission fees and at considerable savings compared to normal foreign brokerage commissions and without value added (VAT) taxes.

ADRs are held by our clearing agent while ordinaries are held by correspondent banks for our clearing agent and are valued in US dollars on our clients' regular statements.
