Mumbai: JioBlackRock Mutual Fund, the 50:50 joint venture between Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL) and global investment management leader BlackRock, has launched its latest offering — the JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund. The New Fund Offer (NFO) opens today, September 23, and will remain open for subscription till October 7, 2025.
This new launch marks a significant milestone in India’s mutual fund industry, as the Flexi Cap Fund will be the first actively managed equity fund in India powered by BlackRock’s proprietary Systematic Active Equity (SAE) strategy.
Flexible Structure Across Market Caps
The JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund is an open-ended equity scheme that will invest across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies. Its investment objective is to generate long-term capital appreciation through equity and equity-related instruments across market capitalisation.
The minimum subscription amount for investors has been set at ₹500, making it an accessible option for both retail and institutional participants. Importantly, the scheme has no entry or exit load, offering liquidity and flexibility to investors.
India’s First Equity Fund Powered by SAE
One of the most distinctive aspects of this fund is its use of BlackRock’s proprietary Systematic Active Equity (SAE) approach, a cutting-edge investment methodology. SAE integrates:
-
Traditional financial data
-
Alternative datasets
-
AI-driven signal research scores
These signals are then utilised by the fund managers, alongside their own human judgment, to build dynamic and diversified portfolios.
The company explained that the SAE approach is where “AI meets human expertise”, offering a unique investment model that combines data-driven insights with on-ground market intelligence.
This innovation, the fund house stated, aims to uncover smarter investment opportunities, delivering a balance of agility and scalability that conventional flexi cap funds may not always offer.
BlackRock + Jio: A Powerful Partnership
JioBlackRock Asset Management is a joint venture that combines the global investment expertise of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, with Jio Financial Services’ strong local presence and digital infrastructure in India.
The JV has been strategically positioned to democratise investing in India by providing technology-led, accessible, and globally benchmarked products tailored to Indian investors.
In a statement, JioBlackRock highlighted the strength of the partnership:
-
BlackRock brings deep experience in asset management and global research frameworks.
-
Jio Financial Services contributes its digital-first approach and distribution reach across India.
This synergy, they said, will redefine investment practices for Indian retail and institutional investors, especially at a time when financial inclusion and digital transformation are reshaping India’s financial services sector.
Positioning in India’s Evolving Mutual Fund Market
The launch of the Flexi Cap Fund comes at a time when India’s mutual fund industry is witnessing rapid growth, with retail participation surging through SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans) and technology making access to financial products easier.
Flexi Cap funds, in particular, have become a popular choice among investors due to their investment flexibility across market caps. Unlike large-cap or small-cap funds that are restricted by mandate, flexi cap funds allow managers to shift allocations based on market conditions and opportunities.
The integration of SAE makes the JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund stand out in this crowded category, as it blends artificial intelligence-driven models with human expertise for portfolio construction.
