ADX launches “Understanding financial investment and how to Invest in securities Market” programme

• The programme is part of ADX's ongoing efforts and commitment in strengthening financial education and literacy in Abu Dhabi and across the wider UAE. This dovetails well with the IOSCO and WFE-led initiative in increasing financial literacy and supporting investors in stock markets

• The campaign, in collaboration with its brokerage firms and channel partners, kicked-off successfully with workshops at key Abu Dhabi institutions and organizations.

Expanding its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitment to inclusive financial education, ADX launched an Abu Dhabi-wide campaign called "Understanding Financial Investment and How to Invest in the Securities Market" to strengthen financial and investment knowledge across the business ecosystem and the community in Abu Dhabi.

The program includes a series of workshops organized in collaboration with ADX member firms. For example, ADX and broker partner BHM Capital recently conducted two workshops with ADNOC Distribution and the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (DED). These workshops covered topics such as an introduction to securities markets, the importance of investments, investment strategies, risk management, and identifying investment opportunities in publicly listed companies.

This new initiative augments ADX's ongoing engagement with local academic institutions, universities, and business associations to improve investment knowledge and raise the level of financial literacy across the UAE.

Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of ADX, said: "As one of the financial anchors of Abu Dhabi, ADX is deeply committed to enhancing financial literacy as a cornerstone of our strategy. With the launch of our new program, coinciding with the global 'Ring the Bell for Financial Literacy' initiative, we aim to empower Abu Dhabi's workforce and community with the knowledge to participate in capital markets, understand investment products, and seize opportunities to meet their financial objectives. We believe a well-informed workforce and community with sound financial knowledge plays a vital role in the long-term growth and success of the UAE's economy."

ADX is actively pursuing further partnerships with other leading organizations in the UAE to expand its financial literacy initiatives. By broadening these educational efforts, ADX aims to foster a more inclusive investment environment that aligns with Abu Dhabi's broader vision of sustainable economic diversification.
