JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund Subscription Window Closes Today: Last Date To Apply on 7 October

The fund is structured as an open-ended flexi cap equity scheme, which allows it to adjust allocations across market capitalisations depending on market opportunities. The New Fund Offer (NFO) closes today, and the scheme will reopen for continuous sale and repurchase within five business days after the allotment date.

Importantly, it offers only a direct plan with a growth option, and there is no exit load, giving investors added flexibility.

Minimum Investment With Rs 500 in JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund

Investors can begin with a minimum lump sum or switch-in investment of Rs 500, with any amount permissible thereafter. For those opting for Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), the minimum starts at Rs 500 per installment, in multiples of Re 1, and requires at least six installments.

As per the Scheme Information Document (SID), the fund aims to allocate 65-100% of its corpus to equities and equity-related instruments, spread across different company sizes. In addition, it may invest 0-35% in debt and money market instruments and up to 10% in REITs and InvITs, offering a balanced yet equity-focused investment profile. The fund is benchmarked against the Nifty 500 Total Return Index (TRI), which includes a broad representation of India's top 500 listed companies.

Should You Invest in JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund?

Investment experts are largely positive about the potential of flexi cap funds in current market conditions. Pallav Agarwal, a certified financial planner at Bhava Services LLP, believes SIPs in flexi cap funds are ideal for most investors, particularly those just starting their equity journey.

Given the flexibility of allocation, professional management and cutting-edge technology backing the strategy, the JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund could be a compelling option for investors looking for diversified equity exposure with a modern, data-driven strategy. However, as with any equity investment, it carries inherent market risks and is best suited for investors with a medium to long-term horizon.

Investment Strategy: Powered by Systematic Active Equity

This fund employs an active investment strategy using Systematic Active Equity (SAE). This approach helps decide which news or signals to link to investments for investor benefit. Rishi Kohli, CIO of JioBlackRock Mutual Fund,noted that "Aladdin, Blackrock's end-to-end integrated platform, supports us in managing the fund at scale, with cost efficiencies." The SAE method involves using big data and machine learning for stock selection.

With the NFO closing today, potential investors must act quickly if they wish to enter at the ground level. As always, consulting a financial advisor based on your goals and risk profile is recommended.
