JioBlackRock Mutual Fund has filed the draft Scheme Information Document (SID) for the JioBlackRock Nifty 50 ETF, an open-ended Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that will track the Nifty 50 Index.  

The filing contains details on the investment objective, portfolio allocation, subscription process, risk factors, and operational framework. The New Fund Offer (NFO) dates and listing schedule are yet to be announced.  

Portfolio to Replicate Nifty 50 

The scheme will follow a passive investment strategy by investing 95% to 100% of its assets in equity and equity-related securities that are part of the Nifty 50 Index.  

Up to 5% of the portfolio may be invested in debt and money market instruments to meet liquidity requirements.  

The benchmark for the scheme will be the Nifty 50 Total Return Index (TRI). The draft states that while the fund aims to mirror the index, there is no assurance that the investment objective will be achieved.  

Investment and Redemption Terms 

The minimum application amount during the NFO has been fixed at ₹500, with investments thereafter allowed in multiples of ₹1. Once listed, investors can buy or sell units through the NSE and BSE in lots of one unit.  

The scheme will not charge an exit load, while transaction charges will also not apply. Stamp duty will be levied as per applicable regulations.  

The creation unit size has been set at 2,40,000 units. Market makers and authorised participants can transact directly with the fund, while direct transactions by large investors will generally require a minimum transaction value of ₹25 crore.  

Under certain conditions, including prolonged discounts to NAV or lack of exchange liquidity, investors may redeem ETF units directly with the fund house without an exit load.  

Investment Framework 

The scheme proposes to keep annualised tracking error below 2% under normal market conditions. Equity derivatives may be used for portfolio rebalancing or index changes, with exposure limited to 20% of net assets.  

The ETF will not invest in overseas securities, credit default swaps, securitised debt, short selling, infrastructure investment trusts or unlisted debt instruments. Portfolio rebalancing following changes in the Nifty 50 Index is proposed within seven calendar days.  

Fund Management 

The scheme will be managed by Tanvi Kacheria, Anand Shah and Haresh Mehta, who have 14, 23, and 18 years of experience, respectively. The total expense ratio has not been disclosed as the scheme has yet to be launched.
