JioBlackrock Flexi Cap Fund NFO: The subscription window for the JioBlackrock Flexi Cap Fund NFO, India’s first AI-human managed flexi-cap fund, will close on 7 October 2025. The open-ended equity scheme, launched on 23 September 2025, gives investors just two more days to apply before the issue period ends.

Developed by BlackRock in partnership with Jio Financial Services, the scheme is available only in the growth option, offering a low expense ratio of 0.50%. Investors can subscribe through the Reliance Jio platform, with a minimum investment requirement of ₹500, either via a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) or a one-time lump sum payment. There is no financial assistance from the Asset Management Company (AMC) as the scheme doesn’t offer a regular plan.

Unique AI-Human Managed Strategy

According to experts, the fund stands out as the first AI-human managed flexi-cap scheme in India, which aims to leverage AI-driven data analytics to enhance decision-making and portfolio rebalancing across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap segments. This hybrid approach is expected to improve returns over the medium to long term by optimising exposure across market capitalisations at the right time.

“While over 25 open-ended flexi-cap schemes already exist, JioBlackrock’s AI-human model makes it unique,” said Pankaj Mathpal, Founder & CEO of Optima Money Managers. “The AI-driven feature will support fund managers in rebalancing the portfolio dynamically, potentially delivering higher returns in the long run.”

Who Should Invest?

Market experts suggest that the scheme may be suitable for investors with a high-risk appetite seeking long-term capital appreciation. However, they advise a calibrated approach, recommending that investors allocate funds cautiously as the AI-human model is new to the Indian market.
