ADX lists new ETF giving investors access to global AI growth leaders

The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group has expanded its portfolio of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with the listing of the Boreas S&P AI Data, Power & Infrastructure UCITS ETF, offering investors exposure to the global companies driving the artificial intelligence (AI) economy.

Launched by Abu Dhabi-based investment firm Lunate, the ETF focuses on sectors powering AI growth, including industrials, utilities, technology, and real estate, and tracks an index of companies that develop and operate data centres, power systems, and digital infrastructure.

The fund features global heavyweights such as Alphabet, Amazon, Oracle, ABB, and Broadcom, and is based on an index that has delivered an annual return of 15.7 per cent on back-tested data.

As demand for AI-related data processing, energy supply, and infrastructure accelerates, ADX said the new ETF allows investors to capitalise on long-term opportunities linked to the global AI transition.

“Listing our second thematic ETF underscores our commitment to expanding high-quality and innovative investment opportunities that align with global market trends,” said Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of ADX Group.

“Thematic ETFs worldwide have now exceeded US$300 billion in assets, reflecting the growing demand for products that capture long-term shifts in AI and digital infrastructure. ETFs continue to show strong potential for recurring returns and long-term wealth creation — a trend mirrored on ADX, where ETF market capitalisation has grown by 120 per cent as of October 2025 compared to last year.”

Sherif Salem, Partner and Head of Public Markets at Lunate, added: “The listing of the Boreas S&P AI Data, Power & Infrastructure UCITS ETF on ADX marks a major milestone for Lunate, becoming our 18th ETF on the exchange and 20th overall to begin trading.

“The ETF provides investors with a unique opportunity to invest in the infrastructure enabling the global AI economy, demonstrating our commitment to delivering innovative and differentiated investment solutions while strengthening Abu Dhabi’s position as a global financial hub.”

The new listing is ADX’s 18th ETF overall and its 15th new financial instrument this year. ADX currently offers the region’s largest selection of ETFs and remains the most active exchange in the Middle East for ETF listings and trading.
