ADX Engages Hong Kong for Global Investor Outreach 2026

The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group, accompanied by a number of its listed companies, is gearing up for a trip to Hong Kong from April 14 to 16 for its annual Global Investor Outreach programme.

This roadshow coincides with the HSBC Global Investment Summit 2026, marking ADX's first international outreach event of the year focused on nurturing relationships with global investors.

This initiative underscores Abu Dhabi's evolving stature as a prominent financial hub and aims to link international capital with emerging high-growth opportunities within the UAE. The visit further reflects the deep-rooted, advantageous relationship between Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong—two top financial centres enhancing cross-border investment collaboration.

During the event, ADX will outline the robust growth trajectory of its listed firms while highlighting its sophisticated market infrastructure. The exchange is ranked among the world's top 20 and is the second largest in the region, boasting a market capitalisation exceeding $850 billion.

The visit to Hong Kong illustrates the growing synergy between Middle Eastern capital and Asian institutional investors. It serves as a platform for ADX to promote its diverse investment options, including sectors poised for high growth and those providing dividend yields.

Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group CEO of ADX, emphasized that Hong Kong remains a vital conduit for global capital. He noted that investors increasingly see Abu Dhabi not just as a sanctuary but also as a significant generator of returns in areas like renewable energy, artificial intelligence, utilities, healthcare, and fintech.

He remarked that the outreach allows investors to gain firsthand exposure to Abu Dhabi's economic evolution and offers a transparent forum to engage with prominent companies listed on the exchange.

In spite of global market uncertainties, ADX continues to exhibit resilience, bolstered by Abu Dhabi's strong credit ratings and stable regulatory framework. Investor confidence remains robust, as evidenced by rising trading activity and volumes.

In 2025, ADX achieved notable growth, with market capitalisation exceeding AED 3.13 trillion, reflecting a 4.6% increase from the prior year. Trading value soared by 12.6% to surpass AED 385 billion, while the average daily trading value rose to AED 1.52 billion.

The participation of foreign investors also improved, with trading value increasing by 13.8%. Institutional investors represented 78% of total trading, reinforcing ADX’s position as a preferred destination for global capital.
