Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Unlocks Global AI Leaders for Investors

Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange has launched a new exchange-traded fund that lets investors tap into the companies powering AI growth through a single investment product. The fund focuses on the infrastructure backbone that artificial intelligence needs to function - from data centers to power grids.

The Boreas S&P AI Data, Energy & Infrastructure UCITS ETF gives investors access to key sectors driving AI expansion, including industrial companies, utilities, technology firms, and real estate. The fund invests in companies that build and manage the infrastructure, energy systems, and electrical networks that AI systems depend on.

Some of the world's biggest names are in the fund's portfolio: Google's parent company Alphabet, Amazon, Oracle, ABB, and Broadcom. These companies represent the supply chain that keeps AI running behind the scenes.

Lunate, the Abu Dhabi-based global investment management firm, launched the fund. It tracks a specialized index focused on data center infrastructure and AI-related energy supply. Based on backtested hypothetical data, the index has delivered annual returns of 15.7%.

Here's why this matters: As AI technology expands, demand for data processing, computing power, digital infrastructure, and energy is growing fast. This creates big investment opportunities in the companies that build and operate the AI economy's foundation.

The numbers show real momentum. Globally, thematic ETFs like this one have crossed $300 billion in value, showing strong investor appetite for AI and digital infrastructure products. Abu Dhabi's exchange has seen its ETF market value jump 120% by the end of October 2025 compared to the previous year.

Abdullah Salem Al Nuaimi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group, said the listing reflects their commitment to offering innovative investment options that match global trends. He noted that ETFs continue proving their ability to generate growing returns and create value for investors.

For Lunate, this marks their 18th fund listed on Abu Dhabi's exchange and their 20th overall. Sherif Salem, partner and head of capital markets at Lunate, called it an important milestone that gives investors access to infrastructure supporting the global AI economy.

Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange now hosts the region's largest collection of ETFs and ranks as the most active market for listing and trading these funds. As one of the world's top 20 financial markets by market value, it keeps expanding its ETF variety to meet growing investor demand.
