ADX Forges Connections Between Leading Emirati Companies and Major US Institutional Investors
The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange concluded its prestigious Global Investor Roadshow in New York, facilitating dialogue between 13 prominent listed companies and approximately 70 significant American investment firms.
The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) has successfully concluded its two-day Global Investor Roadshow and Conference in New York, held in collaboration with Morgan Stanley and concluded on 25 September 2026. The event brought together senior leadership from 13 major ADX-listed enterprises with approximately 70 prominent US institutional investors overseeing more than USD 35 trillion in combined assets under management.
The participating delegation represented sectors fundamental to Abu Dhabi Vision 2030, encompassing energy, banking, real estate, telecommunications, and basic materials—each playing a vital role in the emirate and the UAE’s trajectory towards sustainable growth and comprehensive economic diversification. Throughout the two-day programme, close to 120 individual and collective meetings were conducted, enabling ADX issuers to present their equity narratives, competitive advantages, expansion strategies, and compelling financial achievements.
Despite prevailing global economic headwinds, the ADX continues to satisfy robust investor appetite for emerging market exposure. International investors accounted for 48 per cent of total ADX trading value during the first half of 2026, whilst representing 77 per cent of the 30,000 new registered investors registered during that period. Net positive inflows demonstrated encouraging momentum, rising 13.7 per cent year-on-year to USD 380 million, equivalent to AED 1.4 billion.
Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of the ADX, underscored the significance of the initiative: “Connecting our listed companies directly with the global investment community enables the continued development and diversification of Abu Dhabi’s and the UAE’s economy. As a multi-asset exchange, we continuously strive to upgrade our market infrastructure, expand product offerings, and enhance digital connectivity to address the dynamic needs of our investors and issuers.”
The ADX remains steadfastly committed to consolidating Abu Dhabi’s international prominence as a leading global financial centre. Propelled by accelerating overseas capital flows, the exchange is enhancing its sophisticated financial products portfolio to cultivate sustainable, long-term market value, underpinned by institutional-grade governance standards and operational excellence.
