    Australian shares are not tradeable on US markets for the same reasons that US shares cannot be traded on the ASX. A facility is available for Australian companies to trade in the US in the form of ADRs (American Depositary Receipts), which are effectively packaged baskets of the local shares.

    An ADR constructed from 100 CDY shares, for example, would have a current US market value of around US$16. A low local share price is overcome in this way.

    What’s involved is represented in the graphic below, which includes a custodian bank and local brokers for the shares and US brokers and a depository for the ADRs (all taking their cut of course).
