Bloomberg and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group have expanded their strategic partnership by integrating ADX’s derivatives market data onto the Bloomberg Terminal. This initiative aims to broaden international investor access to Abu Dhabi, which stands as one of the Middle East’s most dynamic capital markets. To mark the expansion, senior global executives from Bloomberg visited the ADX headquarters for a market-opening bell ceremony, highlighting Abu Dhabi’s rising significance in the global financial ecosystem.
Driven by growing international demand, Bloomberg has onboarded a suite of 11 ADX derivatives contracts, including single stock futures and the FADX15 Index Futures, which monitors the largest and most liquid corporations listed on the ADX Main Market. This integration provides over 350,000 global financial professionals—including asset managers, hedge funds, investment banks, family offices, and brokers—with comprehensive, real-time transparency into the UAE’s prominent listed entities and derivatives market.
Josh Steiner, Board Member and Senior Advisor at Bloomberg, noted that the collaboration equips institutional investors with the vital data needed to pinpoint opportunities within the region’s rapidly growing derivatives sector, while advancing market transparency. Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of the ADX Group, described the integration as a pivotal step toward cementing Abu Dhabi as a globally interconnected, institutional-grade market. Alnuaimi added that the move is part of a broader ongoing collaboration with Bloomberg designed to deepen market liquidity, support market makers, and better showcase the emirate’s investment landscape to global participants.
