Jio BlackRock to Launch First Equity ETFs in India by August After Building ₹18,000 Crore AUM
Jio BlackRock Asset Management, a joint venture between Jio Financial Services and BlackRock, plans to launch its first equity-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in India by August. Having built approximately ₹18,000 crore (around $1.9 billion) in assets under management through liquid funds, debt-index funds, and active equity schemes since its launch, the firm aims to expand in India's relatively nascent passive investing market. This move aligns with BlackRock's global emphasis on ETFs, which constitute over one-third of its $5.1 trillion global assets under management.
