The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) has introduced 17 new securities so far this year, with two additional exchange-traded funds (ETFs) set to list today on the penultimate day of Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025.
ETF Count to Reach 19 This Year
ADX Group CEO Abdullah Salem Al Nuaimi told the Emirates News Agency (WAM) that the exchange is preparing to list two new ETFs today, bringing the total number of new securities this year from 17 to 19.
Dual Listings Expand Global Access
Both funds will mark the first dual listings between ADX and the New York Stock Exchange, allowing the ETFs to trade simultaneously on both markets: an important milestone for the Emirati exchange.
Al Nuaimi described the first dual listings as a major achievement for ADX in 2025, strengthening the connection between Abu Dhabi and New York and enhancing access for both regional and international investors.
Dual listings broaden the investor base by enabling participation from markets where regulations, or investor mandates, require trading on a domestic exchange. For Abu Dhabi-based investors, these listings provide new opportunities to diversify internationally.
At the same time, they reinforce Abu Dhabi’s role as a growing hub for global capital, allowing international investors to allocate funds to the emirate without relocating operations to the UAE.
