A) Closed-end country funds.
B) American Depository Receipts.
C) Exchange Traded Funds.

Assuming that fundamentals is what drives the stock up/down, a tanking US market will not directly affect the company's performance/operating results in their local market.作者: comp_sci_kid 时间: 2011-7-11 19:37
Since ADRs are listed on the US exchange, they are subject to the US investor's risk appetite. Today was a great example of this. Look at Chinese ADRs for example and see the dip around 3PM. That's not related to the Chinese companies fundamentals, but US investors... and when the market in China will open, the prices will converge.
