The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group has announced a significant milestone with the addition of Morgan Stanley as its inaugural international Remote Trading Member. This pivotal move will enable the bank's global clientele to directly engage in trading on ADX.
This advancement not only enhances ADX’s global reach but also signifies the increasing interest from international institutional investors eyeing opportunities in the UAE markets. ADX is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing stock exchanges in terms of market capitalization.
Through remote trading membership, Morgan Stanley can facilitate its clients' seamless access to ADX via its comprehensive global trading platform. This initiative is designed to boost trading efficiency, enhance execution quality, and offer better command of the entire trading environment.
Playing a vital role in advancing Abu Dhabi’s long-term economic ambitions, ADX promotes a diverse and innovation-oriented economy. The inclusion of Morgan Stanley further solidifies the UAE’s appeal as a prime destination for global investors.
Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, ADX's Group CEO, remarked that this decision aligns with their vision of establishing a premier global financial marketplace. He noted robust foreign investor engagement, with trading volumes exceeding AED 85 billion in Q1 2026, a 22% increase from last year.
Patrick Delivanis, Regional Co-Head of MENA at Morgan Stanley, shared that joining ADX underscores the firm's dedication to ensuring efficient access to Abu Dhabi’s capital markets, while emphasizing the rising international engagement in UAE investments.
This partnership follows an established international trading framework and aims to deliver transparent and efficient access to various investment avenues available on ADX.
Morgan Stanley's membership is in line with ADX’s strategic goals to broaden global access and attract high-caliber international investments. In 2025, foreign investments in ADX rose by nearly 14%, with institutional trading seeing a growth of 10%.
Morgan Stanley is anticipated to commence its trading activities on ADX as a remote member shortly, contingent on final operational preparations.
