Abu Dhabi – EFG Hermes, a subsidiary of EFG Holding and a leading investment bank in the Middle East and North Africa, announced the launch of its Investment Opportunities Forum at the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange ( ADX ), in strategic partnership with the exchange. The event aims to bring together senior management from companies listed on the ADX with a select group of investment institutions from around the world .

This gathering comes at a time of increasing regional uncertainty due to geopolitical turmoil, so the present time is a suitable opportunity for companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange to meet with investors and enhance their ability to adapt thanks to their operational flexibility, strong business models, and institutional depth.

For investors, the forum is particularly important, offering them the opportunity to meet listed companies and understand how they are dealing with geopolitical challenges. It also provides them with greater confidence and reassurance that operations are continuing and that listed companies possess the necessary capabilities to overcome difficulties.

Accordingly, the forum provides a direct platform for dialogue between business leaders and investment institutions, enabling participants to gain a deeper understanding of companies’ priorities and strategies in allocating capital, and their ability to deal with external variables while maintaining operational discipline and financial stability, which supports the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange in maintaining stable trading volumes and market activity.

Abdullah Salem Al Nuaimi, Group CEO of Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), stated: “We are delighted to welcome global investors to the ADX Investment Opportunities Forum, organized by EFG Hermes, which provides them with an opportunity to gain firsthand insight into the strength, resilience, and ability of companies listed on the exchange to maintain stable operations despite geopolitical changes. This forum reflects the depth and diversity of ADX’s listed companies and underscores our commitment to enhancing communication channels between companies and investors and supporting long-term confidence in the market.”

Mohamed Ebeid, Co-CEO of EFG Hermes, a subsidiary of EFG Holding, stated: “Organizing this forum comes at a crucial time, as global investors increasingly need direct and transparent dialogue with listed companies to understand their ability to navigate current geopolitical changes. Through our role as an investment bank, we continue to connect regional companies with global capital markets and provide effective platforms that reflect the strength and depth of the region’s markets. Companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange possess strong fundamentals in terms of operational resilience, management quality, and the ability to sustain growth, which we aim to highlight to the global investment institutions participating in the forum.”

EFG Hermes seeks to organize more initiatives that enable direct communication with investors and enhance the confidence of international institutions in the UAE financial markets, especially as investors worldwide continue to assess the economic impact of current regional conflicts.

It is worth noting that EFG Hermes successfully provided advisory services for numerous transactions during 2025, including the completion of 18 capital markets deals, 16 debt issuance and arrangement deals, and 8 mergers and acquisitions across the region, with significant involvement in deals in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Egypt. These transactions reflect the company's leading role in regional capital markets and its ongoing commitment to helping regional and international investors seize strategic opportunities .
