Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund unveiled Aladdin, BlackRock's exclusive investment analytics and risk management platform, after receiving an asset management license from market regulator Sebi last month.

A 50:50 joint venture between US-based BlackRock and Jio Financial Services Ltd (JFSL) is called Jio BlackRock Asset Management Pvt Ltd.

"Investing should be simple. And it should work for you. That's the belief that brought Jio Financial Services and BlackRock together. We've blended Jio's digital first approach with BlackRock's global investment expertise? to build solutions around what Indian investors truly need," the mutual fund company said in a post on X.

Additionally, it said that BlackRock's distinctive investment analytics and risk management platform, Aladdin, is now accessible in India for the first time.

"This is just the beginning. We are here to redefine investing by making it accessible and affordable for you. We are Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund," it said.

In a letter dated May 26, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) authorized Jio BlackRock Asset Management Private Ltd to serve as the asset management firm for Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund and gave the certificate of registration to "Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund."

 

Subject to regulatory clearances, the company announced on October 29, 2024, that it has incorporated two companies, Jio BlackRock Asset Management Private Limited and Jio BlackRock Trustee Private Limited, to conduct its main business of mutual funds.

Prior to this, India's Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) granted Jio BlackRock Investment Advisers Pvt Ltd, a 50:50 joint venture between Jio Financial Services (JFSL) and the multinational investment management behemoth BlackRock Inc., final regulatory approval to function as an investment adviser.

Jio BlackRock is authorized to offer investment advice services in India by the SEBI certificate of registration, which was issued on June 10, 2025. On June 11, JFSL notified the stock exchanges of the approval through a regulatory filing.

This new license is a strategic milestone that supports Jio BlackRock's larger goals after it was previously approved to join the mutual fund industry in India. Jio BlackRock Asset Management received final approval from SEBI in May to introduce mutual fund programs. Business Standard reports that SEBI granted in-principle permission in October 2023, and on May 27, 2025, the mutual fund license was finally approved.
