Jio BlackRock International AMC (IFSC) on Monday announced the launch of JioBlackRock Advantage World Equity Fund, which will offer investors access to a globally diversified equity portfolio.
Jio BlackRock International AMC (IFSC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of JioBlackRock Asset Management.
Fund offers access to global equity markets
The newly launched JioBlackRock Advantage World Equity Fund (IFSC) is an open-ended fund-of-funds retail scheme and is designed to provide investors access to global equity markets through a feeder-fund structure that invests primarily in the BlackRock Advantage World Equity Fund, a globally diversified active equity strategy, Jio BlackRock said in a statement.
The minimum initial investment in the fund would be USD 5,000, with USD 1,000 being the minimum additional investment. About 90-100 per cent of the investments would be in units of the underlying BlackRock Advantage World Equity Fund.
The launch would broaden access to investment opportunities for Indian investors by providing a gateway to international markets through GIFT City, it added.
Underlying fund targets developed markets
The underlying fund has a track record of over 8 years and seeks to complement investors’ domestic portfolios with exposure to global companies, sectors and long-term growth themes across developed markets, including the United States, Europe and Japan.
“This fund enables investors to complement their India exposure with access to global growth opportunities, creating a more diversified pathway to long-term wealth creation,” the statement said.
JioBlackRock highlights global diversification
JioBlackRock Asset Management, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Sid Swaminathan said the launch of the funds in GIFT City represents a significant step in democratising access to global investing opportunities.
“We believe global diversification will become an increasingly important component of long-term wealth creation, and this launch marks the beginning of our broader ambition to build a world-class investing platform from GIFT City,” Swaminathan said.
GIFT City provides route to international investing
The fund is available through GIFT City, India’s international financial services hub, offering eligible investors an efficient route to access global markets under applicable overseas investment frameworks.
The GIFT City structure helps address some constraints associated with traditional overseas investing avenues and provides access to a globally diversified investment solution within a regulated international financial centre.
