A major global electronic broker has joined the local exchange group as its newest online partner, enabling a wider pool of international investors to access Abu Dhabi’s growing market opportunities. Moreover, this addition supports ongoing efforts to attract a diverse range of participants and expand access to listed securities across multiple asset classes.
Expanding Market Reach and Investor Connectivity
Recent steps to open the market through digital investment platforms have already helped increase retail and regional engagement. In addition, enhanced connectivity provided by global network partners has broadened the distribution of market data and improved accessibility for international users.
The new onboarding allows global clients to trade all listed securities directly alongside more than 160 global markets. UAE-based users can also benefit from multi-currency account support, including AED, as well as FX conversions for both funding and trading. Furthermore, the move aligns with long-term goals to deepen liquidity, widen investor channels, and support access to equities, ETFs, derivatives, fixed income and digital trading instruments.
Commenting on the announcement, Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi said, “We are pleased to welcome Interactive Brokers as one of our key retail investors partners. 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. As a capital market gateway and investment hub, the ADX is proactively expanding our channels through which international investors can participate in our markets, invest in our high-growth listed companies and achieve their goals. We believe that Interactive Brokers will further contribute to deepening liquidity, strengthening global links, and enhancing the overall trading experience. We look forward to working closely with them to support sustained growth and greater investor participation.”
Increased Trading Access for Global Clients
With the platform integration complete, clients can now trade all securities listed in Abu Dhabi through their existing accounts. Additionally, this development reinforces the market’s ongoing strategy to serve as a regional hub for cross-border capital and diversified investment opportunities.
