2013 HIGHLIGHTS
The global capital markets this year…
¡APAC and Europe’s equity markets rose 11% and 20% respectively, while the LATAM equity market fell 16%. In the U.S., the S&P 500 reached a record high after rising 30% in 2013.
¡Most of the world’s equity markets performed strongly in 2013, while DR trading increased slightly over 2012 levels.
¡Investments held in DR form totaled $1.06 trillion globally.
¡Continued improvements in the economies of key countries like the U.S. and China have solid underpinnings for growth in the global DR market next year.
¡Capital raising by a number of emerging market companies in the latter half of the year, as well as an accelerating deal pipeline, indicate there could be significant growth in IPOs in 2014.

Global Equity Markets
Source: MSCI & Bloomberg, December 2013
The global DR market expanded slightly in 2013, with total DR trading up approximately 1.5% from last year’s levels. These levels, while not in-line with the overall market, remain well above historical averages, particularly when setting aside the extraordinary trading levels reached in 2008, when the global financial crisis reached its zenith.
Looking ahead, there are a number of signs that make us cautiously optimistic that there will be more capital raising via DRs in 2014. The U.S. economy, a principal growth engine for global GDP, grew again in the third quarter of 2013, and the U.S. equity market has risen to record levels, up 30%. Meanwhile, Europe’s economy is experiencing a nascent recovery and the former grave concerns about the fiscal conditions of countries like Italy and Greece have subsided. It is noteworthy that the MSCI Europe index is up 20% year-to-date. So-called Abenomics is credited with a good portion of the 53% increase in Japan’s Topix index.
Taken together, these developments are promising for the economies and equity markets of developing countries. After a selloff last summer that followed the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s announcement that it would taper its asset purchase program, emerging market stocks have nearly recovered on a delay in tapering. Recent activity data indicates that the momentum in China’s economy remains solid. Additionally, China’s government announced in the fourth quarter an ambitious reform plan that could help the country achieve more balanced and sustainable growth in the long-term. India’s government is likely to continue its own policy reforms. Brazil has a large infrastructure investment program and its labor market remains sturdy.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank announced plans to taper asset purchases. Tapering would result in higher interest rates, and to what degree is hard to tell, but higher rates would invariably make capital raising via equity sales more attractive relative to bond deals, a shift that would also bode well for the global DR market.
Although this was a somewhat tepid year for the depositary receipts market, I am pleased to note that once again, J.P. Morgan DR programs, on average, traded at levels far higher than those of other depositary banks, signifying stronger liquidity and program performance.
With the market revival in flight, and the equity window opening for new issuers, J.P. Morgan remained very active with a number of notable transactions. Tinkoff Group Holdings raised $1.08B via GDRs, and was at the upper-end of the offering’s price range. The offering indicates that Russia’s IPO market could be emerging from a long period of hibernation, as global investors seem to have developed a renewed appetite for risk, generally, and are searching for higher returns on capital. J.P. Morgan was pleased to assist Doosan Infracore of Korea with the largest APAC DR IPO deal of 2013, which raised $400MM via GDRs on the Singapore Stock Exchange. As a depositary bank, we now have successfully launched 6 GDRs on the Singapore Stock Exchange since we introduced the product in 2007, representing 46% of the market share. We were also the depositary bank for China’s Sungy Mobile IPO in December, which raised $90.32MM via ADRs. The success of this IPO could mean investors’ believe that accounting issues in China are a thing of the past and that their trust in the management of Chinese companies is being restored.
As we enter 2014, we look forward to continuing to provide issuers with unique insights and individualized advice via our integrated firmwide approach. If you would like to learn more about the DR market, particularly as it relates to your company’s DR program, please contact your regional client manager or me.

DR TRADInG AnD LIqUIDITY TREnDS
DR trading value and volume in 2013 were slightly above last year’s levels. There are encouraging signs that the DR market could meaningfully improve in 2014, among them Europe’s evolving economic recovery, the post-summer rally in emerging market stocks, and several notable IPOs in China and Russia in the fourth quarter.

DR CAPITAL RAISInG TREnDS
While IPOs have been on the rise in the U.S., there were far fewer in China, Brazil and other emerging markets. Consequently, little capital was raised via DRs in 2013. The overall strengthening of emerging markets offer improved conditions for IPOs. Although these markets fell markedly last summer, they remain well above last June’s lows.
DR IPO activity was driven primarily by EMEA
Average capital raised continued to trend lower in 2013, due to pricing pressures and uncertainty that still lingered from 2012’s sovereign debt crisis and the slowdown in China’s economy

Achieving portfolio diversification by investing in non-U.S. equities remains a core objective of U.S. investors. In 2013, foreign equity holdings continued to constitute a substantial portion of U.S. investors’ portfolios, at approximately $5.9 trillion.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES
8
Major Developments and Trends
The MSCI Asia Index experienced an 11% increase in 2013. The DR market is recovering across the APAC region, albeit at different rates. Under Japan’s new economic regime, the nikkei Index performed very well in 2013, up approximately 53% YTD.
With past accounting irregularities gradually fading into the background, China’s IPO market is slowly coming back to life. A few IPOs came to market in the fourth quarter and have performed well since then. The market’s momentum is expected to carry into 2014. With China’s equity markets recovering from the 2013 lows set in June, privatization of state-owned companies could resume.
Elsewhere in APAC, new deals have been coming to market as well, notably in India, Korea and Taiwan. We believe IPOs can be expected in other frontier markets, such as Vietnam and Mongolia, over the next 12 to 18 months.
Japanese issuers continue to show interest in listing their shares in Hong Kong in the form of HDRs. In addition to their interest in attracting China-based investors, they see a Hong Kong listing as a platform to expand their businesses in the Greater China market. J.P. Morgan pioneered the HDR and remains the only depositary bank that sponsors HDRs, to date.
J.P. Morgan remains at the forefront of discussions in India with relevant influencers to update the depositary receipts guidelines, which will include amongst other things, rules for unlisted companies in India to list directly outside the country. If unlisted companies incorporated in India were to list directly overseas through a DR mechanism, investor demand for Indian companies will likely improve.
As APAC equity markets recover, J.P. Morgan is well positioned across the region to successfully convert its pipeline of mandates in China, Japan, India, Korea and Taiwan, and build upon its already strong base of world-class issuer clients.
Despite only 12 successful IPOs in Asia in 2013, J.P. Morgan was pleased to assist these select few issuers with their DR needs: Zylog System, an Indian software company, Sungy Mobile, a provider of mobile internet products and services, Wisdom Marine Lines, a ship leasing and marine transportation company, and Doosan Infracore, a machinery and infrastructure company. Of note, Wisdom Marine Lines was the first Taiwan company to be listed on the main board of the London Stock Exchange and Doosan Infracore was the largest APAC DR IPO in 2013.

EMEA
REGIONAL LEADERSHIP IN 2013
J.P. Morgan’s DR programs experienced strong organic balance growth in 2013, up 9% (+300 million ADRs). The region’s IPO market is also showing early signs of a recovery. J.P. Morgan was selected as the depositary bank for Tinkoff Group Holdings, a Russian online bank and credit card issuer, raising $1.08 billion, the largest DR IPO this year.
Major Developments and Trends
The MSCI Europe Index rose 20% in 2013, and the similar performance of European ADR programs reflected increasing interest from U.S. investors. J.P. Morgan client DR balances were up 9%, with value up almost $20 billion at just under $175 billion. Financial institutions were a focus for many investors, especially in the European periphery markets, with defensive stocks also seeing strong investor interest.
Trading volumes in Western European DRs were flat year-on-year, at 46 billion, indicating that the impact of Financial Transaction Taxes on DRs, which was implemented by France and Italy in 2012, has been minimal.
In Western Europe, balance growth in DRs was consistent with overall growth in its equity markets in 2013. With 415 sponsored DR programs and 630 unsponsored programs, the market appears mature. The concentration of investment dollars in the largest DR programs is very apparent, with over 90% of investment residing in the top 100 programs.
While the national Securities Depository was established as Russia’s Central Securities Depository last year, DR banks and investors began to see the effects of this market development in 2013. By november, DR depositary banks were required to transfer shares underlying DRs into special “depo accounts” with their Russian custodians. As a result, beneficial owner disclosure is now a requirement for DR holder votes to be considered at shareholder meetings of Russian companies. Meanwhile, recently passed legislation is expected to result in the application of reduced dividend withholding in accordance with the applicable tax treaty between Russia and a disclosing DR holder’s country of residence. Conversely, non-disclosed DR positions will receive dividends from Russian issuers net of an increased 30% withholding rate.
The DR Group secured mandates with some of the region’s largest DR issuers - Alcatel-Lucent, Orange, SABMiller and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries. In total, approximately 1.5 billion in DRs were transferred from other depositary banks to
J.P. Morgan. This represented a 50% growth in balances in addition to the organic growth previously described. Issuers are increasingly deciding to select J.P. Morgan as their depositary bank, recognizing our firm’s distinct strength as a global Equities leader that helps clients successfully navigate the equity markets and attract high-quality investors.

EMEA Market Performance

Major Developments and Trends
The MSCI LATAM Index declined 16% in 2013. Low overall market valuations dissuaded companies from coming to market.
For the majority of 2013, the Brazilian government maintained its 1.5% IOF tax (Imposto sobre Operações Financeiras) on foreign exchange transactions. This tax, which indirectly applies to the issuance of ADRs, combined with a lack of equity capital raising in 2013, led to lower levels of cross-border activity between the U.S. and Brazilian equity markets. However, we anticipate this activity to pick up in 2014 as Brazil’s Ministry of Finance announced on December 24, 2013 that the IOF tax on shares backing the issuance of the ADRs has been officially reduced from 1.5% to 0.0%, effective immediately.
Following Cementos Pacasmayo’s public offering last year, Peru saw its second ADR offering, this time by Graña y Montero. J.P. Morgan was the depositary bank for both deals, and they are notable because most DR IPOs have historically been undertaken by Brazilian companies. In the years ahead, we expect Peru and Colombia to represent a much greater portion of DR-based offerings.
In 2013, several notable issuers selected J.P. Morgan as their successor depositary, including Braskem, CTEEP, Gerdau of Brazil and OMA of Mexico. This exemplifies how many of our clients have deep, firmwide relationships throughout J.P. Morgan’s Corporate and Investment Bank, doing business together across multiple solution areas and geographies.

IPO activity was concentrated in markets outside Brazil in 2013. With momentum building in Peru, J.P. Morgan was delighted to be selected as Graña y Montero’s depositary bank for its DR IPO.
