Alcoa Corporation Chess Depositary Interest

Alcoa Corporation Chess Depositary Interest is an equity security that represents beneficial ownership of Alcoa Corporation common shares, specifically structured for trading on Australian market platforms. These interests are issued as CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs), enabling Australian investors to access and trade the shares of Alcoa Corporation—an American company incorporated in Delaware and recognized globally for its role as a leading upstream aluminum producer. The primary function of these CDIs is to facilitate cross-border investment, offering exposure to Alcoa’s operations, which span bauxite mining, alumina refining, and aluminum production across multiple continents, including significant assets in Australia, Brazil, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Guinea. This instrument gained prominence following Alcoa’s strategic acquisition of Alumina Limited in 2024, resulting in consolidation and full ownership of the Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals joint venture. Alcoa Corporation Chess Depositary Interests play a notable role in connecting Australian capital markets to global resource sectors, especially in the materials industry, and provide investors with access to Alcoa’s established dividend policy and financial performance through a familiar local trading mechanism.
