ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
A new exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking an AI-related data centre and power supply infrastructure index has been listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).
The new ETF gives “individual and retail investors access to the companies driving the growth of artificial intelligence,” a statement from the ADX said.
According to the statement, the Boreas S&P AI Data, Power & Infrastructure UCITS ETF offers exposure to the key sectors that underpin the growth of artificial intelligence, including industrials, utilities, technology, and real estate. The ETF invests in companies developing and managing the infrastructure, power systems and energy grids required for the AI economy, featuring global players such as Alphabet, Amazon, Oracle, ABB and Broadcom.
Launched by Abu Dhabi-based global investment management firm Lunate, the ETF tracks an index linked to AI-related data centre and power supply infrastructure, which has delivered an annual return of 15.7% based on back-tested hypothetical data, the statement said.
As AI adoption accelerates globally, the demand for data, computational power, digital infrastructure and energy continues to grow, creating significant investment opportunities for companies involved in building and powering the AI economy.
Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of ADX Group, said: “Listing our second thematic ETF underscores our commitment to expanding high-quality and innovative investment opportunities that align with global market trends. Thematic ETFs worldwide have now exceeded $300 billion in assets, reflecting the growing demand for products that capture long-term shifts in AI and digital infrastructure.

As a regional leader in this space, ADX remains focused on staying ahead through innovative products that support Abu Dhabi’s economic vision.”
Sherif Salem, Partner & Head of Public Markets at Lunate, said: “The listing of the Boreas S&P AI Data, Power & Infrastructure UCITS ETF on the ADX marks is a major milestone for Lunate, becoming our 18th ETF on the ADX and 20th ETF overall to begin trading. The ETF provides investors with a unique opportunity to invest in the infrastructure enabling the global AI economy, demonstrating Lunate’s commitment to bringing innovative and differentiated investment solutions to the market and strengthening Abu Dhabi’s position as a global financial hub.”
