Dubai Financial Market PJSC (DFM) – Introduction and background |
 |
Dubai Financial Market (DFM) is the operator of Dubai’s stock exchange, one of three regulated securities exchanges in the UAE and, along with the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, one of two focused on local and regional equities.
Established in 2000 as the UAE’s first official stock exchange, the DFM opened with 16 listed companies, expanding to offer sukuk, bonds, exchange-traded funds and real estate investment trusts. In 2010 the DFM consolidated its operational infrastructure with Nasdaq Dubai, enabling investors to access international securities using DFM infrastructure. Revenue is generated through trading commissions, listing and registration fees, investment income and services provided through subsidiaries.
The DFM converted from a government institution to a public joint-stock company through an IPO in November 2006 and began trading on its own exchange in 2007, becoming the first regional exchange to do so. Borse Dubai Limited retains approximately 80% of outstanding shares. Revenues are closely correlated to trading volumes and the pace of new listings activity on UAE capital markets. This makes DFM shares a direct, if cyclical, proxy for broader investor sentiment towards the Dubai market.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
