This includes liquid ADRs of global companies such as adidas, Heineken and Roche Holding, as well as ordinary shares of well-known companies like Bombardier and Air Canada Inc. While the initial launch applies to a limited group of securities, the Company plans to expand the offering to additional securities over the near term.
