The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group has partnered with Interactive Brokers, a prominent global electronic broker. This collaboration allows investors worldwide to explore investment opportunities in Abu Dhabi and diversify their portfolios across various asset classes and regions. This move is part of ADX's strategy to enhance international investor participation and improve access to securities listed on the exchange.

Interactive Brokers' inclusion aligns with ADX's ongoing efforts to expand market accessibility through digital investment platforms like Thndr and eToro.

Through Interactive Brokers, investors can now trade all securities listed on the ADX alongside over 160 other markets globally. UAE-based investors will benefit from multi-currency account support, including AED, along with foreign exchange conversions for funding and trading purposes. This integration supports ADX's strategy to deepen liquidity, diversify investor channels, and expand access to a growing range of investment products.

Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group CEO of ADX Group, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. "We are pleased to welcome Interactive Brokers as one of our key retail investors partners," he stated. "Their presence underscores the increasing global interest in Abu Dhabi’s market and reflects the strength of the ADX’s infrastructure, product range, and commitment to seamless investor access."

The onboarding of Interactive Brokers is expected to contribute significantly to deepening liquidity within the ADX. It will also strengthen global connections and enhance the overall trading experience for investors. The collaboration is seen as a step towards achieving sustained growth and greater investor participation in Abu Dhabi's capital markets.

Interactive Brokers' clients now have direct access to trade securities listed on the ADX via their platform. This development highlights ADX's role as a capital market gateway and investment hub, proactively expanding channels for international investors to engage with high-growth companies listed in Abu Dhabi.

The partnership between ADX and Interactive Brokers exemplifies a strategic effort to broaden international investor participation while enhancing global access to Abu Dhabi's financial markets.
