What does NVS mean in NYSE SYMBOLS

NVS stands for Novartis AG American Depositary Receipts. It is a form of investment which allows investors to purchase and trade shares of a foreign company listed on a US Stock Exchange.

Investing in NVS provides investors with the opportunity to diversify their portfolios and gain exposure to overseas markets without having to go through lengthy procedures such as cross-border trading or currency conversions. Additionally, investors may benefit from an increase in share price due to market forces outside of their domestic markets.

Any foreign company that has its shares listed on a major US stock exchange is eligible for NVS, provided that it meets certain thresholds established by the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC).

Investors can purchase or sell shares in an NVS just like any other investment security — through an online broker or financial advisor, or through traditional methods such as over-the-counter trades and direct purchases at registered exchanges.

As with any other security, there are risks associated with investing in NVS including market volatility and economic downturns. Investors should be aware that international investments can sometimes be subject to greater volatility than domestic investments, so it is important for them to be aware of all potential risks before making an investment decision.
