JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund NFO: The new fund offer (NFO) of the JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund has closed after its subscription window ran from September 23 to October 7, 2025. The fund marks India’s first active equity fund powered by the Systematic Active Equity (SAE) approach, and is designed as an open-ended equity scheme.
The aims to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing across market capitalisations — large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies — thus offering diversified exposure across the equity spectrum.
Can You Invest in JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund After the NFO?
Yes. Although the JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund NFO period has ended, investors can still invest in the JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund since it is an open-ended scheme. After the NFO closes and the allotment process is completed, the fund reopens for regular subscriptions, typically within 5–10 days.
Once reopened, investments can be made at the prevailing Net Asset Value (NAV) rather than the initial NFO price of ₹10 per unit. Investors can then purchase units through mutual fund platforms, distributors, or directly via the website, similar to any other open-ended mutual fund.

Expert View: Should You Invest?
According to Pankaj Mathpal, Managing Director and CEO at Optima Money Managers, investors should approach this new offering with caution.
“Given that this is an open-ended fund, investors have the flexibility to invest later as well. Since it is based on a relatively new investment approach for Indian investors, it’s prudent to adopt a ‘wait and watch’ strategy. While deploying a small portion now may be fine, observing the fund’s performance and consistency over time would be a more balanced approach,” Mathpal said.
Although the JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund NFO has closed, investors can still participate once the scheme reopens for regular subscriptions. However, experts suggest taking a measured approach — understanding the fund’s strategy and performance before making significant investments.
