Paytm Money, the direct mutual fund platform owned by One97 Communications Limited, has announced a strategic collaboration with JioBlackRock Asset Management to offer five new index fund New Fund Offers (NFOs). Available exclusively through the Paytm Money app, these NFOs allow investors to start with as little as Rs 500, with zero commission and no account opening charges.

This collaboration enables users to invest in direct mutual funds with zero commission, no account opening fees, and no hidden charges, making it highly attractive to both new and seasoned investors. As a direct mutual fund platform, Paytm Money aims to maximise returns for users by eliminating intermediary costs and ensuring full transparency.

JioBlackRock Launches Five Index Mutual Funds

The five index funds from JioBlackRock available on Paytm Money include the JioBlackRock Nifty 50 Index Fund, Nifty Next 50 Index Fund, Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund, Nifty Smallcap 250 Index Fund and the Nifty 8-13 Year G-Sec Index Fund. These funds offer diversified exposure to Indian equity and debt markets, making them ideal for investors seeking long-term, passive investment strategies.

The five index mutual funds which Jio BlackRock has launched are as follows:

● JioBlackRock Nifty 50 Index Fund
● JioBlackRock Nifty Next 50 Index Fund
● JioBlackRock Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund
● JioBlackRock Nifty Smallcap 250 Index Fund

Paytm and JioBlackRock Asset Management Partnership

The previous set of JioBlackRock NFOs saw an impressive response through the Paytm Money app, recording over 7,000 transactions. Notably, around 45% of these investments were made through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), indicating growing interest among investors in disciplined, long-term investment methods.

In a joint statement, a spokesperson from Paytm Money expressed excitement about the partnership, calling it a major step toward democratising investing in India. "These funds represent a powerful combination of global investing expertise and cost-efficient passive strategies, perfect for long-term investors as well as those just starting their financial journey," the spokesperson said.
