Marking a new chapter in active fund management, JioBlackRock Mutual Fund has announced the launch of its Flexi Cap Fund. The scheme will allow investments across large, mid, and small-cap companies while drawing its edge from the use of SAE: a proprietary BlackRock framework that blends advanced data signals with the expertise of professional managers. The NFO will open on September 23 and conclude on October 7.

SAE: Blending Data and Human Judgment

Unlike conventional flexi cap funds, the new offering is structured around BlackRock’s SAE process. This framework generates research signals by combining traditional datasets with alternative sources of information. The outputs are then interpreted by fund managers, who apply their discretion in portfolio construction.

Explaining its philosophy on X (formerly Twitter), JioBlackRock Mutual Fund highlighted: “Where AI meets human expertise, and traditional plus alternate data come together to uncover smarter investment opportunities.” The fund house stressed that the product is designed to be agile and adaptable, going beyond the typical flexi cap strategy.

Partnership for Scalable Investing

The launch reflects the strength of the 50:50 joint venture between Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL) and global asset management leader BlackRock. The collaboration is focused on combining international investing know-how with Jio’s digital distribution and local presence. Through this blend, JioBlackRock aims to deliver innovative, data-backed investment solutions that are accessible to Indian investors.
