The Chimera FTSE ADX 15 ETF, the seventh sub-fund under the SCA-registered Chimera Umbrella Fund, will replicate the performance of the FTSE ADX 15 index (Bloomberg: FADSM15). The index, which is provided by FTSE Russell, tracks the 15 biggest and most liquid stocks listed on the ADX. The firm writes that through the Chimera FTSE ADX 15 ETF, Chimera is providing investors with transparent and cost-effective exposure to some of the most appealing ADX-listed stocks, in line with its long-term growth and value creation strategy.

Saeed Hamad Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange says: “This is the eighth ETF from Chimera Capital to be launched on the ADX and demonstrates the success of our efforts to attract new listings to the Exchange. The introduction of the ADX and FTSE Russell’s FADX 15 Index earlier this year provides access to high growth opportunities in Abu Dhabi. As part of our strategy to diversify product offerings, we will continue to encourage the listing pipeline and roll out more innovative products and services.”
Sherif Salem, Chief Investment Officer – Public Markets at Chimera Capital, adds: “This is the sixth ETF launched by Chimera in 2022, and the tenth fund to be rolled out in just over two years.
