ETN-JDR makes it easier to bring ETN into Japanese market and circulate it smoothly.
ETN-JDR is tradable same as Japanese domestic stock.

• JDRs (Japanese Depositary Receipts) are negotiable securities which indicate ownership of shares issued by foreign companies. They are listed and traded on Japanese Stock Exchange.
• JDRs make it easier to distribute foreign stocks, ETFs and ETNs within Japan.
• ETNs are tradable on stock exchange in Japan, only when listed as ETN-JDR after trust bank issues JDRs backed by ETNs listed on the Foreign Stock Exchange.
• Request for redemption/ purchase demand to Issuer is available (almost equal price to the price linked to specified index)

Issuing JDRs can increase corporate and brand visibility at an international level.
JDRs are traded on stock exchange in Japan in accordance with Japanese market customs, which will expand investor's opportunities.

• Tradable on almost all the securities houses in Japan (also margin trading is available on many of them)
• Specified Account available
• Settlement distribution in JPY
• Same taxation as that of Japanese equities in Japan

[Outline of JDR scheme]

1. A securities house purchases the ETNs of Issuer Company through the local stock exchange
2. The securities house entrusts a trust bank with the ETNs and the trust bank issues JDRs to the securities houses (using the book-entry transfer system of JASDEC) 
3. ETN-JDRs will be traded on the Japanese Stock exchange.
