How advisors are using CDRs to access foreign stocks with a currency hedge

The Globe and Mail
July 23, 2025.

Diana Orlic, Senior Investment Advisor at Richardson Wealth, discusses how CDRs typically involve fractional share ownership of high-priced foreign equities, offering a more affordable entry point with share prices far below their underlying exposure.

“If we buy U.S. stock, and we’re buying in Canadian dollars, we need to have a conversation with clients about the impact of currency,” she says. “With CDRs, it’s a simpler conversation.”
