JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Will Benchmark Its Performance to Nifty 500 Index (TRI)

The JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund is an open-ended equity scheme from the joint venture between Jio Financial Services and BlackRock.

To track performance, the fund is benchmarked against the Nifty 500 Index (TRI), which represents the top 500 listed companies in India by market capitalisation and includes reinvested dividends.

JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Investment Objective

The primary objective is long term capital appreciation by investing in equity and equity-related securities across different market caps. The flexi cap approach gives managers the freedom to shift allocations between large, mid, and small-cap segments based on market conditions.

Unlike passive funds, this is an actively managed scheme where fund managers aim to outperform the benchmark using stock selection and research. Notably, the fund also leverages BlackRock’s Aladdin platform for portfolio analytics and risk management. Launched via an NFO in August 2025, it marks the venture’s foray into active equity management after earlier passive offerings.

Benchmark Details

• Benchmark: Nifty 500 Index (TRI)
• Coverage: 95% of India’s equity market capitalisation
• Features: Tracks 500 companies across sectors and market caps, with reinvested dividends factored in.

This makes the Nifty 500 TRI a comprehensive benchmark, aligning well with the fund’s diversified flexi cap mandate.
