The Gulf Tape Desk · 3 min read- ADX's two-day roadshow in New York ended on Friday, September 25, 2026, per Economy Middle East.
- About 70 U.S. institutions managing over $35 trillion in assets met senior leadership of the listed issuers, per the same report.
- The exchange's pre-event announcement named 14 companies, while the wrap-up cites 13 issuers; the gap is unexplained.
- Exchange-reported H1 2026 data put international investors at 48% of trading value and net inflows at USD 380 million.
- No investment commitments or post-event flows were reported, so the roadshow's market impact is unproven. This is not investment advice.
The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange closed its annual Global Investor Roadshow and Conference in New York on Friday, September 25, 2026, after two days of meetings with U.S. institutions. Economy Middle East reports that 13 ADX-listed issuers met about 70 investors managing more than $35 trillion. The figures describe access, not outcomes: no purchases, commitments or changes in trading volumes from the event have been reported.
Who attended, and a count that does not match
The roadshow ran on September 24 and 25, 2026, in collaboration with Morgan Stanley, according to the exchange's pre-event announcement carried by Mondo Visione. That announcement named 14 participating companies, including ADNOC Gas, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Aldar Properties, e& and Borouge, while Economy Middle East's wrap-up counts 13 issuers. The gap cannot be reconciled from the published material; it may reflect a late withdrawal or a different counting basis, and neither source explains it.
The market case ADX brought to investors
The exchange's own first-half 2026 figures, as released in its announcement, show international investors accounted for 48% of total trading value and institutional investors for 78%. It reported net positive inflows of USD 380 million, up 13.7% year on year, and USD 4.98 billion in dividends across the participating companies, an average yield of 4.26%. These are exchange-reported figures for the first half of 2026, and the release gives no end-date timestamp for the data.
What to watch next: whether reported foreign participation and net inflows move in ADX's next periodic statistics, and whether any of the issuers disclose follow-up investor activity. A roadshow is a marketing event; the test is the flow data that follows, which the sources do not yet supply.
