eToro Launches UAE-Economy Smart Portfolio for Global Investors

eToro launches UAE-Economy Smart Portfolio, giving investors diversified access to leading UAE-listed companies with strong dividend potential.

Key points:

• eToro’s new Smart Portfolio offers exposure to 20 major ADX and DFM companies across key UAE sectors.
• Portfolio provides above-average dividend yields and low correlation to Western markets, with annual or on-demand rebalancing.

eToro has launched a new UAE-Economy Smart Portfolio, giving retail investors diversified access to leading companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and Dubai Financial Market (DFM).

George Naddaf, Managing Director of eToro MENA, said the UAE’s rapid economic expansion and strong policy environment continue to attract global attention. “The UAE is one of the fastest-expanding economies in the world, supported by strong GDP growth, government reform, and growing non-oil sectors,” he said. “Local companies, particularly in banking, telecoms, and energy, are known for their attractive dividend yields, which are often among the highest in emerging markets.”

Naddaf added that the country’s capital markets are gaining momentum. “Dubai’s and Abu Dhabi’s exchanges are quickly becoming leading capital markets in the Middle East with increased foreign participation and growing liquidity. This portfolio will broaden access to these markets, enabling investors in the UAE and around the world to participate in the UAE economy’s long-term growth trajectory.”

The new Smart Portfolio invests in 20 major UAE-listed companies across banking, real estate, energy, utilities, telecommunications, and logistics. eToro also designed the portfolio to provide diversified sector exposure and a low correlation with Western markets. Furthermore, it will undergo annual rebalancing, or more frequent adjustments if market conditions warrant.

eToro selects each stock based on market capitalisation, liquidity, financial ratios, and analyst consensus ratings. The portfolio’s constituents deliver an average dividend yield of 3.75%, with some stocks yielding up to 7%. By comparison, the S&P 500 currently offers a dividend yield of 1.15%.

The launch comes as national strategies such as UAE Vision 2031 and Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 continue to accelerate economic growth and deepen the country’s capital markets.

Additionally, eToro’s broader suite of Smart Portfolios offers long-term exposure to global themes and sectors. Investors can start with a minimum of USD $500 and access analytics tools, performance charts, and eToro’s social feed to track developments across the UAE market.
