ADX Receives Student Delegation From Canadian University Of Dubai

Date 15/03/2017

Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) hosted a student delegation from the Canadian University of Dubai as part of its continuous efforts at enhancing investment awareness to students. 

The visit also forms part of ADX's commitment to support educational initiatives and to encourage and promote professional investment skills across the UAE, to the very highest international standards

The delegation, which included 30 students and faculty members, were given a tour of the exchange followed by a presentation on the UAE capital markets. They were also briefed on the functions of the Exchange, its procedures, trading operations and mechanisms, e-services performed in the Exchange, as well as its achievements. 

The students were also introduced to the smart kiosk “Sahmi” which offers an array of electronic services that include the issuance of a new investor number in 60 seconds while also allowing for modification of existing investors’ details and obtaining financial reports and investment statements. ADX is the first exchange in MENA to offer this service.

It is worth mentioning that ADX has signed a number of MoUs with many universities in the UAE, and has always been keen to provide opportunities for university students to get practical training in the Exchange. 

ADX has also launched virtual trading competitions at many universities in the UAE. These competitions come as part of ADX strategy to spread awareness among students about the trading mechanisms in the stock market through a virtual platform that enables students to make the vital connection between theory and practice in an innovative educational context thus inspiring their creativity in developing and applying investment strategies.
