Paytm Money, a wholly-owned subsidiary of One97 Communications Ltd (OCL), has partnered with JioBlackRock Asset Management to offer direct access to five Index Fund New Fund Offers (NFOs). The NFO window opened on August 5, 2025, and will close on August 12, 2025.
The collaboration comes after a successful initial round of NFOs by JioBlackRock, which saw over 7,000 transactions completed on Paytm Money—45% of which were Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), indicating growing retail investor appetite for long-term, low-cost investment options. With investments starting at just ₹500, the upcoming NFOs offer an affordable entry point for both new and experienced investors.
The five index fund offerings include:
- JioBlackRock Nifty 50 Index Fund
- JioBlackRock Nifty Next 50 Index Fund
- JioBlackRock Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund
- JioBlackRock Nifty Smallcap 250 Index Fund
- JioBlackRock Nifty 8-13 Yr G-Sec Index Fund
These passive funds are designed to mirror benchmark indices and provide market-aligned returns with lower costs and broad diversification. They offer a simplified route to participate in India’s growth story without the need for active stock-picking.
As a Direct Mutual Fund platform, Paytm Money charges zero commission, has no account opening fee, and offers a paperless onboarding process. The platform also supports Statement of Account (SOA)-based investing, giving users better visibility and control over their portfolio.
These funds are powered by Aladdin, BlackRock’s proprietary risk and investment management system, which supports data-driven portfolio construction and monitoring. Backed by the combined expertise of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, and Jio Financial Services, the offerings aim to deliver global-quality investment solutions tailored for Indian investors.
