- American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) trade in U.S. dollars but expose investors to significant currency risk.

- Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) must distribute at least 90% of their net investment income to shareholders to avoid corporate-level taxation.

- Rights are short-term instruments issued to existing shareholders to let them maintain their proportionate ownership during new share offerings.

- Warrants are long-term instruments, often used as sweeteners, with an exercise price set above the market price at issuance.

- The Series 65 exam frequently tests the distinctions between rights and warrants, particularly their timeframes and initial exercise prices.
