Aside from any London listed GDRs that might trade on the OTC, retail brokerage and investment bank Freedom Holding Corp (NASDAQ: FRHC), who operates in Central Asia and Europe, plus shell company Oxus Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ: OXUS) are the main Kazakhstan ADRs available to American investors. In addition, Kazakhtelekom AO (OTCMKTS: KZHXY), is the largest telecommunication company in Kazakhstan, but it trades on the OTC Grey market.
Its worth mentioning that Kazakhstan is the largest and strongest performing economy in Central Asia thanks to oil and gas. The country also has abundant mineral resources – making it a potentially attractive investment choice for adventurous frontier market investors.
