JioBlackRock Launches Ambitious Index Fund Suite
JioBlackRock Asset Management Private Limited (JioBlackRock), the 50:50 joint venture between Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL) and BlackRock, has made its debut in the Indian mutual fund market. The company announced the launch of its first suite of five index funds via a New Fund Offering (NFO) on August 5, 2025.
This strategic move marks a significant entry into the burgeoning Indian investment landscape. The five index funds offer diversified investment options catering to various risk appetites.
The NFO launch is expected to attract considerable interest from both retail and institutional investors. The collaboration leverages the strengths of both JFSL’s deep understanding of the Indian market and BlackRock’s global expertise in asset management.
