KraneShares announced the listing of two exchange-traded funds on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange: the KraneShares Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (AGIX) and the KraneShares Wahed Alternative Income Index ETF (KWIN). Moreover, the dual listing strengthens Abu Dhabi’s positioning as a growing centre for globally in-demand investment products.
The AGIX ETF offers exposure to both public and private artificial intelligence companies, including SpaceX and Anthropic. Additionally, the fund provides access to high-growth innovation themes through a mix of listed firms and select private holdings, with a direct listing scheduled on ADX for 16 April 2026.
Meanwhile, the KWIN ETF, developed in collaboration between KraneShares and Wahed Invest, provides a Shari’ah-compliant income strategy beyond traditional Sukuk-based instruments. Furthermore, the initial offering price period will run from 15 to 21 April, with the listing expected by the end of April 2026.
Both funds are cross-listed from the New York Stock Exchange. As a result, the move expands access to international ETF products while reinforcing the exchange’s product diversification strategy.
Oceane Global will act as market maker for both ETFs, supporting liquidity and trading efficiency. Additionally, Waystone will serve as legal representative, ensuring regulatory alignment and structural support for the listings.
Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group CEO of ADX, said the cross-listing represents another step in expanding access to global investment opportunities. Moreover, he said the launch reflects growing demand for exposure to high-growth sectors such as artificial intelligence, alongside income solutions aligned with regional priorities, including Shari’ah-compliant strategies.
He added that the exchange recorded a 183% increase in ETF trading value and nearly 134% growth in the number of ETF investors year-on-year in March alone. As a result, he said the data highlights strong momentum in ETF activity.
Jonathan Krane, Founder and CEO of KraneShares, said the dual listing reflects rising global demand for differentiated ETF exposure. Additionally, he said AGIX combines listed AI leaders with selected private innovators in a single liquid vehicle, while KWIN offers an alternative income strategy aligned with Islamic investment principles.
Anthony Sassine, CEO of Oceane Global, said the collaboration supports the development of a stronger ETF ecosystem in Abu Dhabi. Moreover, he said the structure will help deliver efficient trading and broader access for both institutional and retail investors.
Caoimhghin O’Donnell, CEO of Waystone Management Company Middle East, said the partnership supports robust structuring and regulatory compliance. Furthermore, he said it enables international ETF products to be introduced efficiently within the UAE market framework.
The latest listings build on the cross-listing of the KraneShares China ETF (KWEB) and KraneShares Global Carbon Credit ETF (KRBN) on ADX in December 2025. Additionally, the expansion marks another step in strengthening the region’s capital markets infrastructure.
