Jio BlackRock’s Next Big Move: 8 New Mutual Funds with Just ₹500 Minimum Investment
Jio BlackRock, the joint venture between Reliance’s Jio Financial Services and global investment leader BlackRock, is preparing to launch eight new mutual fund schemes with an entry point as low as ₹500. The move is part of a broader strategy to disrupt India’s mutual fund landscape by making investing accessible to small and first-time investors.
After a successful debut of three debt mutual funds—collecting over ₹17,800 crore from more than 67,000 retail investors and 90 institutional players—the company has applied to SEBI for approval to launch additional funds by late 2025.
The proposed schemes will likely include equity and debt fund options, both passive and active, and will be distributed digitally via the MyJio app and Jio Financial Services platform, eliminating middlemen and reducing costs.
