Expanding access to India’s growth story, a UAE-based financial joint venture has introduced a new investment vehicle aimed at overseas investors, NRIs, and foreign nationals.
Barjeel Geojit Financial Services, a UAE joint venture of Geojit Financial Services, has launched the Barjeel Geojit India Opportunities Fund (BGIOF). The fund is designed to offer global investors regulated exposure to Indian markets through a diversified structure.
The launch is the first in a planned series of fund offerings that Barjeel Geojit intends to roll out across both local and global markets.
BGIOF is structured as a UAE-regulated umbrella fund. Each sub-fund under the umbrella has a separate legal identity and independent financial capacity. According to a press note, the fund allows investors to participate in India’s growth trajectory by providing access to a diversified basket of sub-funds spanning multiple sectors and market segments.
The new fund offer opened for subscription on January 14 and will close on February 13. BGIOF is denominated in US dollars, with a minimum investment requirement of $5,000.
Sheikh Sultan Bin Sooud Al Qasimi, Chairman of Barjeel Geojit Financial Services, said, “Our vision is to manage money responsibly, bring trusted global standards, and make investing more accessible, so that opportunities are created with care, transparency, and long-term trust.”
C.J. George, Chairman and Managing Director of Geojit Financial Services, said the fund offers a straightforward route for investors seeking India exposure. “The introduction of Barjeel Geojit India Opportunities Fund provides investors with a simple and regulated USD-denominated avenue to participate in India’s long-term growth through diversified, India-focused strategies managed by experienced professionals,” he said.
Surendra Dwivedi, CEO of Barjeel Geojit, said the fund has been structured to reflect changing investor needs. “Barjeel Geojit India Opportunities Fund has been designed to meet evolving investor requirements around diversification, global standards, and flexibility across risk profiles. By offering access to multiple established India strategies within a single framework, the fund provides a practical and well-regulated route for investors seeking exposure to India’s structural growth story,” he said.
