KraneShares today announced the listing of two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange: the KraneShares Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (AGIX) and the KraneShares Wahed Alternative Income Index ETF (KWIN). This move enhances the diversity of investment products in the regional market. The AGIX fund allows investors to gain exposure to the artificial intelligence and technology sector, including public and private companies like SpaceX and Anthropic, providing access to high-growth innovation categories within a single investment vehicle. The KWIN fund, developed in collaboration with Wahed, offers an alternative income strategy compliant with Islamic law principles, focusing on generating sustainable returns through innovative investment strategies. In March alone, the exchange saw a 183% increase in the trading value of ETFs and a 134% year-over-year rise in the number of investors trading in this asset class. AGIX is scheduled to be listed on April 16, 2026, while the initial offering period for KWIN will run from April 15 to 21 of the same year. This dual listing reinforces Abu Dhabi's position as a leading regional center for ETF liquidity, collaborating with global partners to offer innovative products that meet the evolving needs of investors. Oceane Global serves as the liquidity provider for both funds, while Waystone acts as the legal representative for the listing process, ensuring regulatory compliance and structural support.
