The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange will add a US equity fund run by GQG Partners to its board on November 19, giving investors in the UAE direct local access to a portfolio heavy in the largest American technology companies.

The GQG US Equity ETF, already listed on NYSE Arca in the United States, will be dual-listed in Abu Dhabi after an initial offer period that runs from November 9 to November 13, 2026, according to the Emirates News Agency. The listing will take the number of exchange-traded funds on ADX to 27.

For local investors, the listing removes the need to go through a US broker to buy the strategy. Investors in markets that belong to Tabadul, the ADX-led network that connects partner exchanges, will also be able to trade it.

The fund had $473 million in assets as of November 5, 2026. Its largest holdings include Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet and Amazon, the large technology companies that have been at the centre of the past week's selling in AI-linked stocks. GQG describes the fund as an actively managed portfolio of high-quality companies with attractive valuations, durable competitive advantages and stable earnings, with active management of downside risk.

GQG Partners was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Its international headquarters is in Abu Dhabi Global Market, and it also has offices in London, New York, Seattle, Sydney and Tacoma. The firm had about 241 employees worldwide as of September 30, including 20 in ADGM, and $149.2 billion in assets under management.

ADX has been adding foreign-focused ETFs to widen what local investors can buy without leaving the exchange. Earlier this month it listed two funds from Hanwha Asset Management focused on South Korea, covering advanced manufacturing, technology, defence and aerospace.

The GQG fund is due to begin trading in Abu Dhabi on November 19.
