The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group, one of the region’s fastest-growing exchanges, has launched ADX Managed Services (AMS), a new suite of API-driven solutions aimed at simplifying the investment process for traders in the UAE and internationally.
Quick Facts
- Product: ADX Managed Services (AMS) launched.
- Function: Integrates funding, trading, and portfolio management.
- First Partner: Brokerage firm International Securities onboarded.
Connecting the Dots in Trading
ADX Managed Services aims to combine funding, trading, and portfolio management into a single, connected workflow. The new platform is designed to eliminate common delays, significantly shortening the time it takes for investors to move capital into active investments.
Brokers and UAE banks can now embed these services directly into their own platforms. This integration allows their clients to manage funding, execute trades, and oversee their investments without switching between different applications, creating a more streamlined user experience.
Instant Funding with First Brokerage Onboard
The first service rolled out under the AMS umbrella is Certified Cash Transfer (CCT). This feature allows investors to fund their trading accounts instantly through their broker’s app, bypassing manual bank transfers and associated processing times. The service is built on a direct integration with the Central Bank of the UAE’s payment infrastructure, ensuring secure and real-time fund transfers.
To mark the launch, ADX and International Securities signed an agreement at the Make it in the Emirates (MIITE) forum, making International Securities the first brokerage to offer clients direct access to these integrated services.
Ayman Hamed, Chief Executive Officer of International Securities, said, “We are proud to be the first brokerage to partner with ADX on the rollout of its Managed Services offering. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in enhancing how investors access and engage with the market. By integrating funding, trading, and portfolio management into a single, seamless journey, we are delivering a faster, more efficient, and more intuitive investment experience for our clients.”
A Push for a More Accessible Market
The initiative signals ADX’s strategic shift from a traditional exchange to a technology-focused market infrastructure provider, aligning with Abu Dhabi’s broader economic goals.
“ADX Managed Services is a game changer in how investors access our markets,” stated Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of the ADX Group. “By bringing payments, trading, investment, and portfolio management into one integrated ecosystem, we are removing barriers and enabling investors to act faster, more confidently and in real time. This is about delivering real, tangible value — making our market more efficient, more accessible, and more competitive on a global scale.”
ADX is already developing the next phase of AMS. Future additions include a Systematic Savings Plan (SSP) for automated, goal-based investing and an IBAN Validation Service (IVS) to improve transaction security.
