Foreign Ordinary Share Trading
Foreign Ordinary Share Trading allows customers to trade shares in foreign corporations on the over-the-counter (OTC) market using a five character symbol ending in “F.” Trades in foreign ordinary shares can be placed online or through a Fidelity representative. In either case, the domestic commission schedule for stocks/ETFs will apply. A $50 fee will also be charged on each transaction in any foreign ordinary stock that is not Depository Trust Company eligible.

Typically, the DTC clearing process takes three days to complete. When a security is not DTC eligible clearing occurs only upon physical delivery of the stock certificate representing the security from the seller to the buyer. Clearing without DTC eligibility through physical delivery is not a rapid process – it may take weeks to complete. Without DTC eligibility it is impossible for an issuer to establish liquidity in its securities.
The DTC Eligibility Process
Only participants can request that DTC make a security eligible. The issuer of the securities seeking eligibility must locate an underwriter or other financial institution–sometimes a market maker– that is a DTC Participant and that is willing to sponsor the eligibility process. Participants can submit an eligibility request through the underwriting services of DTC either at the time a security is initially being offered and distributed to the marketplace or at a later time for already issued and outstanding securities.
