LSEG: Advancing the Middle East’s market infrastructure through the FTSE ADX Index Series collaboration

LSEG’s partnership with the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) to launch the FTSE ADX Index Series underscores its commitment to enhancing the financial infrastructure of the Middle East and contributing to the global competitiveness of regional markets. The FTSE ADX Index Series enables investors to track the performance of Abu Dhabi’s key capital and industry sectors, offering transparent and reliable benchmarks that support informed decision-making and investment strategies. This collaboration reflects a dedication to fostering market development and aligning with international standards in index design, construction and management.

LSEG and ADX have also launched the inaugural FTSE ADX ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) benchmark index.

The ESG Screened Index, which utilises ESG scores sourced from LSEG Data & Analytics, provides a transparent and objective measure of companies' ESG performance, helping investors align their portfolios with sustainability goals. This move positions ADX as a leader in integrating ESG principles into the region’s financial markets, offering both local and international investors the tools needed to support responsible investment strategies.

Through this partnership, LSEG is driving innovation in the region’s financial ecosystem while enabling ADX investors to meet their sustainability objectives. The FTSE ADX Index Series, and particularly the ESG Screened Index, exemplifies an ongoing dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions that serve both retail and institutional investors, locally and globally. As the collaboration with ADX continues, the focus remains on delivering world-class market infrastructure that supports the long-term growth and sustainability of the region’s capital markets.
