    THE London Stock Exchange (LSE) will launch trading of global depositary receipts (GDRs) of Chinese companies next year, kicking off a partnership between the bourse and its Shanghai counterpart, sources with knowledge of the matter said.

    GDRs are bank-issued certificates representing ownership of a set number of company shares that can be listed and traded independently from the underlying stocks. They are often used by emerging market companies to raise capital overseas.
