ABU DHABI EXCHANGE EXPANDS ITS GLOBAL-INVESTOR PUSH

2 Min Read

The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) is expanding its international investor outreach, with the exchange and 14 listed companies heading to New York for a major Global Investor Roadshow and Conference on September 24–25, 2026.

Held in collaboration with Morgan Stanley, the event will connect senior executives from ADX-listed companies with institutional investors in one of the world’s leading financial centres. The participating companies span key sectors including energy, banking, real estate, telecommunications, consumer businesses and basic materials.

The roadshow is part of ADX’s wider strategy to strengthen connections with global capital and provide international investors with greater access to Abu Dhabi-listed companies. The 14 participating companies recorded a 15.7% increase in combined revenue during the first half of 2026 compared with the same period last year. They also distributed nearly US$4.98 billion (AED15 billion) in dividends over the past year.

ADX has also been expanding its market infrastructure and international connectivity. During the first half of 2026, international investors accounted for 48% of total trading value, while institutions represented 78%. Net positive foreign inflows increased 13.7% year-on-year to about US$380 million (AED1.4 billion).

Earlier this year, ADX welcomed Morgan Stanley as its first international remote trading member and HSBC as its first international General Clearing Member, further broadening direct access for overseas investors.

The latest New York roadshow adds to Abu Dhabi’s efforts to deepen its capital markets, attract international investment and strengthen ADX’s role as a gateway between global capital and the UAE economy.
