Nestlé S.A. Depositary Receipt is a Canadian Depositary Receipt (CDR) that represents shares of Nestlé S.A., one of the world's largest and most diversified consumer goods companies. The primary function of this asset is to facilitate Canadian investor access to Nestlé’s global equity while mitigating currency risk through CAD hedging, allowing holders to gain exposure to the company’s international business within the framework of Canadian regulation and settlement practices. Nestlé S.A. spans a broad array of sectors, including food, beverage, nutrition, health science, and pet care, with brands that reach billions of consumers worldwide.

With key metrics tracked in Canadian dollars and supported by local trading infrastructure, this CDR enhances diversification options for institutional and individual portfolios seeking international exposure.
