Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange has appointed Morgan Stanley as its first international investment bank Remote Trading Member.
The move enables Morgan Stanley clients to access ADX directly through the bank’s global trading platform, strengthening international connectivity to UAE capital markets.
ADX said the partnership supports rising institutional demand for UAE-listed assets and enhances execution quality, transparency and order routing for global investors.
Foreign investor trading on ADX exceeded AED 85 billion in Q1 2026, up 22% year-on-year, reflecting growing international participation and market liquidity.
The agreement further supports Abu Dhabi’s strategy to expand cross-border capital flows and deepen its position as a global financial centre.
