What JioBlackRock Income Plus Arbitrage Omni FOF will invest in
The scheme information document states the objective as: “The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate income by investing in active/passive debt-oriented funds and arbitrage funds.”
It invests 95–100% in units of debt-oriented funds (35–65%) and arbitrage funds (35–65%), active or passive, from JioBlackRock or other fund houses, with up to 5% in debt and money market instruments. It is JioBlackRock’s first fund of funds.
How it compares with existing domestic fund of funds schemes
- AMFI lists 154 existing domestic fund of funds schemes. They invest in quite different things, so their returns are not compared here.
What to check before investing in this NFO
- The ₹10 price is not a discount. Units start at ₹10 only to set the unit count. Returns depend on how the fund's investments move, in percentage terms, exactly as for an existing fund.
- There is no track record yet. A new fund has no returns of its own to judge. The fund manager's other schemes, and how existing domestic fund of funds schemes have done over several years, are the closest guide.
- Overlap with what you already own. If you already hold domestic fund of funds schemes, or a flexi cap or large cap fund, check how much this fund's likely holdings would repeat them.
- Direct plan and costs. The direct plan pays no distributor commission, so its expense ratio is lower than the regular plan’s. Over many years the difference compounds.
After the NFO closes
Units are allotted after the offer closes. The fund then publishes a daily NAV and reopens for regular purchases, SIPs and redemptions. Reopens within 5 business days of allotment.
Once a fund has a record, Genvest Research shows its returns against its benchmark, volatility and drawdowns.

The minimum is ₹500 during the NFO, according to AMFI's listing. Units are offered at ₹10 each.
No. The ₹10 starting price only sets the unit count. What you earn depends on the percentage change in the fund's investments, which is the same whether a unit costs ₹10 or ₹500.
No exit load is listed for this scheme.
The scheme information document names 60% NIFTY Composite Debt Index + 40% Nifty 50 Arbitrage Index (TRI) as the benchmark.
The scheme information document names Anand Shah, Haresh Mehta, Siddharth Deb and Arun Ramachandran as the fund managers.
That depends on what you already own and why you would add this fund. A new fund has no record of its own, so compare it with existing domestic fund of funds schemes: their costs, their returns over several years and how much they overlap with funds you hold.
