What is Apple’s story?
Apple emerged in 1976, when Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne created the project for one of the first personal computers of the time — the Apple I. The machine was composed of a circuit board with 30 chips, in a wooden box.
To use it, the user needed to purchase a power source, keyboard and monitor. Still, it was a pretty advanced computer for its time. Shortly after the creation of Apple Computer Inc., Ronald left the partnership, which took over the Steves duo.
The company began to gain notoriety in 1977, when it launched the Apple II. This was a computer that came in a plastic case and an integrated keyboard. In the late 1980s, Apple went public on the Nasdaq, one of the main stock exchanges in the United States.
During this period, Wozniak suffered a plane crash and Jobs took over the business. In 1984, he introduced the Macintosh—one of the first computers with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Despite the success, in 1985 Jobs was fired and the organization went into decline.
In 1996, with Apple on the verge of bankruptcy, Jobs returned to the company’s leadership. After replacing a large part of the team, the company started to focus on innovation and . In the following years, great successes were released, such as the Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad and MacBook.
From then on, the brand’s reputation and popularity continued to grow — even after the death of Steve Jobs in 2011. In 2002, for example, Apple products were present on all continents and each release had queues. gigantic from his legion of fans.
What is AAPL34?
Despite its grandeur and success in Brazil, Apple is not listed on the B3, which is the Brazilian stock exchange. However, this is not an obstacle if you want to expose yourself to the company’s results.
This is because it is possible to invest in the AAPL34. This is the Brazilian depositary receipt (BDR) that represents Apple shares in Brazil. It is worth knowing that the BDR is a type of certificate linked to an international investment – such as stocks, government bonds and index funds (ETFs).
For it to be available on B3, the issuance of the BDR depends on a depositary institution. In practice, this company makes the investment abroad and issues the BDRs backed by international assets. In other words, the custody of the international papers remains with the depositary.
Thus, the investor does not become the holder of the foreign investment, but of the corresponding BDR.
In this case, AAPL34 is backed by Apple shares, listed under the ticker AAPL on Nasdaq. The parity of this BDR is 1:10, which means that each Apple share backs 10 BDRs. In other words, it is necessary to buy 10 BDRs to have the equivalent of 1 share of the company.
Earnings with BDR happen in a similar way to what happens with stocks. That is, it can generate profits if the ask price is higher than the buy price. In addition, the investor may receive dividends, as long as they are paid by the company to the shareholders.
In this case, the depositary will receive the proceeds paid and will distribute them among the owners of the BDRs. In the past, BDRs were only accessed by qualified investors (with more than BRL 1 million or with professional certification). However, now they are available to any investor.
