CDR Lineup Now Features 65 Blue-Chip U.S. Stocks

Today Cboe Canada Inc. (“Cboe Canada”) is proud to celebrate the recent three-year anniversary of Canadian Depositary Receipts (“CDRs”) with the launch of ten new CDR tickers by CIBC.

CDRs allow Canadian investors to easily access exposure to some of the biggest U.S. listed companies – all in Canadian Dollars. Offered at a fraction of the price per share of the underlying stock, CDRs provide streamlined exposure to cross-border investing with a built-in currency hedge to mitigate currency risk. Following the launch of this industry-first innovation in 2021, CDRs have demonstrated continuously increasing investor demand, now touting over $6 Billion in AUM.

The ten newest CDRs are now trading on Cboe Canada under the following names and symbols:

• 3M CDR (CAD Hedged) - MMMM
• American Express CDR (CAD Hedged) – AXP
• Booking CDR (CAD Hedged) – BKNG
• CrowdStrike CDR (CAD Hedged) – CRWD
• Ford CDR (CAD Hedged) – F
• General Electric CDR (CAD Hedged) – GE
• Intuitive Surgical CDR (CAD Hedged) – ISRG
• Micron CDR (CAD Hedged) – MU
• Qualcomm CDR (CAD Hedged) – QCOM
• Texas Instruments CDR (CAD Hedged) – TXN

“We’re proud of the continued expansion of our platform, allowing investors to gain access to global companies within their portfolios,” said Elliot Scherer, Managing Director and Global Head, Wealth Solutions Group at CIBC Capital Markets. “As investors look to diversify their portfolios while managing currency risk, we look forward to expanding our CDR offering and developing further innovative solutions to meet their needs.”

With the addition of these most recent tickers, there are now 65 CDRs of blue-chip U.S. companies trading on Cboe Canada.

“Congratulations to CIBC on another exciting launch and three years of CDR success! CDRs are an innovative and proven solution for Canadian investors seeking access to big name stocks listed south of the border,” remarked Rob Marrocco, Global Head of ETF Listings at Cboe Global Markets. “We are proud of the relationship we have built with CIBC and are honoured to be the exclusive listing exchange for CDRs.”
