JioBlackRock has launched its Arbitrage Fund New Fund Offer (NFO) today, December 9, 2025. The subscription window will remain open until December 11, 2025, giving investors a short period to participate.
The fund aims to provide relatively steady returns by exploiting price differences between cash and futures markets. It is positioned as a low-risk option for short-term parking of surplus funds with tax-efficient benefits.
The NFO opened on December 9 and will close on December 11, 2025. An exit load of 0.25% applies if units are redeemed or switched out within 15 days from the date of allotment.
No exit load is charged if redemption or switch occurs after 15 days. This structure encourages investors to hold units for at least two weeks to avoid additional charges.
JioBlackRock Arbitrage Fund is an open-ended scheme investing in arbitrage opportunities across equity and derivatives markets. The fund seeks to generate returns by capitalising on price differences between cash and futures segments.
It uses Aladdin technology for operational efficiency, enabling fund managers to make data-driven decisions. The strategy aims to deliver low-risk, tax-efficient returns suitable for short-term investors.
The equity component of the portfolio will include stocks listed in the futures and options (F&O) segment where arbitrage opportunities exist. Net equity exposure will remain at zero, as positions are hedged through derivatives.
Allocation to equity and equity-related instruments, including derivatives, will range from 65% to 100%. The debt component will comprise fixed-income instruments, with a portion used as margin for F&O trading, maintaining stability and reducing volatility.
The fund has a total expense ratio of 0.30%, making it cost-efficient for investors. The minimum SIP amount is ₹500, allowing easy entry for retail participants.
The benchmark index for the scheme is Nifty 50 Arbitrage (TRI), which reflects the performance of arbitrage strategies in the market. The risk level of the benchmark is categorised as low, aligning with the fund’s objective of delivering steady returns with minimal volatility.
