The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) has announced the listing of the region’s first thematic exchange-traded fund (ETF), offering investors exposure to the emerging field of quantum computing. This pioneering move allows regional investors to participate in the growth of cutting-edge technology without directly investing in individual companies.
The new ETF includes a diversified portfolio of global companies leading in quantum computing research, hardware development, and software solutions. Analysts believe the fund could attract significant interest from technology-focused investors looking for long-term growth opportunities.
ADX officials highlighted that the listing aligns with the UAE’s broader strategy to support innovation and technology-driven investments. “This ETF provides a unique opportunity for investors in the region to gain exposure to transformative technology that is shaping the future,” a spokesperson said.
Market experts noted that thematic ETFs have been gaining popularity worldwide, offering investors an easy way to tap into specialized sectors while mitigating individual stock risks. The ADX launch positions the UAE as a forward-thinking financial hub in the MENA region.
