The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group, together with various listed firms, will travel to Hong Kong from April 14 to 16 for its annual Global Investor Outreach initiative.

This roadshow coincides with the HSBC Global Investment Summit 2026, representing ADX’s inaugural international outreach of the year aimed at bolstering connections with global investors.

The mission underlines Abu Dhabi’s rising stature as a global financial hub and aims to link international capital with promising high-growth ventures from the UAE. The trip also signifies the enduring beneficial relationship between Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong—two prominent financial centres dedicated to enhancing cross-border investment cooperation.

During this initiative, ADX will showcase the robust growth path of its listed entities while highlighting its advanced market structure. The exchange ranks among the leading 20 globally and is the second-largest in the region, with a market capitalisation surpassing $850 billion.

This visit to Hong Kong also emphasizes the growing alignment between Middle Eastern capital and Asian institutional investors. It serves as a platform for ADX to promote its diverse investment options, featuring high-growth areas and dividend-rich opportunities.

Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, CEO of ADX, remarked that Hong Kong is a significant entry point for global capital. He noted that investors are increasingly recognizing Abu Dhabi as not just a reliable safe haven, but also as a key source of returns in sectors such as renewable energy, AI, utilities, healthcare, and fintech.

He further mentioned that this outreach provides investors with direct insights into Abu Dhabi’s economic transformation and offers a transparent forum to interact with top companies on the exchange.

Despite global market fluctuations, ADX showcases its resilience, buoyed by Abu Dhabi’s strong credit ratings and stable regulatory framework. Investor confidence remains robust, as evidenced by increased trading volumes and activities.

In 2025, ADX demonstrated substantial growth with a market capitalisation exceeding AED 3.13 trillion, reflecting a 4.6% rise from the prior year. The total trading value surged by 12.6%, surpassing AED 385 billion, while the average daily trading value climbed to AED 1.52 billion.

Foreign investor involvement also strengthened, with trading value experiencing a 13.8% rise. Institutional investors comprised 78% of the total trading, reinforcing ADX’s standing as a prime destination for global capital.
