THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE EDITION
12 SEPTEMBER 2012
StockCentral’s Doug Gerlach Opens Virtual Conference on ADR Investing
Is your portfolio diversified globally? Owning companies based outside the U.S. can provide significant advantages to your portfolio, and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are a great way to expand your international presence.
On Sept. 18, 2012, several international publicly listed companies with American Depositary Receipts (ADR) programs managed by Deutsche Bank will present their equity story in an engaging virtual conference environment at the Deutsche Bank Depositary Receipts Virtual Conference. The conference is facilitated by PR Newswire and BetterInvesting and offers public companies the opportunity to present their message live to a broad audience and to engage directly with potential investors — without the need to travel.
To help investors make the most of this event, ICLUBcentral President (and StockCentral founder) Doug Gerlach will kick off this virtual conference with a presentation on “Understanding ADRs.” In his presentation, Doug will cover the basics of ADR investing, including the many benefits of owning ADRs, understanding related dividend issues, and where to research ADRs.
