Jio Financial and Blackrock form JV to set up wealth management and broking business
Jio Financial Services and BlackRock signed an agreement to form a 50:50 joint venture for the purpose of undertaking wealth business including incorporation of a wealth management company and subsequent incorporation of a brokerage company in India.
Jio Financial Services said on Monday that it had entered into a new joint venture (JV) with U.S.-based BlackRock Inc to set up a wealth management and broking business in India less than a year after launching an asset management venture.
Jio Financial Service, part of billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Group, said the JV aims to tap into India's increasingly lucrative wealth business and will include the incorporation of a wealth management firm and, subsequently, incorporation of a brokerage company.
India's wealth managers look after $1-1.2 trillion of financial assets owned by the country's high net-worth individuals, as per a recent Jefferies report.
Last June, the companies formed a 50:50 joint venture to launch asset management services in India and had pledged an initial investment of $150 million each.
