Jio BlackRock Shifts to Include Distributor Channels for Mutual Fund Sales

Jio BlackRock Asset Management, a joint venture between Reliance Industries' Jio Financial and BlackRock launched in June 2025, initially chose to sell its mutual fund schemes directly, bypassing distributors. However, it has recently decided to also use traditional distributor channels to reach investors. This shift reflects common industry practices in India, where mutual funds typically rely on intermediaries for distribution, and distributors had anticipated this change.
