存托憑證(Depository Receipt, 簡稱DR),又稱存券收據或存股證,是指在一國證券市場流通的代表外國公司有價證券的可轉讓憑證,屬公司融資業務范疇的金融衍生工具。其英文釋義如下,可更加清晰地對其有所理解:
A depositary receipt (DR) is a negotiable financial instrument issued by a bank to represent a foreign company's publicly traded securities. The depositary receipt trades on a local stock exchange. Depositary receipts facilitates buying shares in foreign companies, because the shares do not have to leave the home country. Depositary receipts that are listed and traded in the United States are American depositary receipts (ADRs). European banks issue European depositary receipts (EDRs), and other banks issue global depository receipts (GDRs).
存托憑證一般代表公司股票,但有時也代表債券。以股票為例,存托憑證是這樣產生的:某國的一家公司為使其股票在外國流通,就將肯定數額的股票,委托某一中間機構(通常為一銀行,稱為保管銀行或受托銀行)保管,由保管銀行通知外國的存托銀行在當地發行代表該股份的存托憑證,之后存托憑證便開始在外國證券交易所或柜臺市場交易。
從投資人的角度來說,存托憑證是由存托銀行所發行的幾種可轉讓股票憑證,證實肯定數額的某外國公司股票已寄存在該銀行在外國的保管機構,而憑證的持有人實際上是寄存股票的所有人,其所有的勢力與原股票持有人相同。存托憑證一般代表公司股票,但有時也代表債券。
存托憑證的當事人,在本地有證券發行公司、保管機構,在國外有存托銀行、證券承銷商及投資人。按其發行或交易地點之不同,存托憑證被冠以不同的名稱,如美國存托憑證(American Depository Receipt, ADR)、歐洲存托憑證(European Depository Receipt, EDR)、全球存托憑證(Global Depository Receipts, GDR)、中國存托憑證(Chinese Depository Receipt, CDR)等。以下為相關例句,可供參考:
