Barjeel Geojit has officially unveiled its BGIOF (Barjeel Geojit India Opportunities Fund), marking a strategic expansion into investment management backed by a newly acquired mainland Investment Fund Management licence from the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). This initiative represents a significant evolution for the company, leveraging over 25 years of operational legacy in the UAE and aligning with the nation’s ambition to become a global fund management hub.
The India-focused umbrella fund is structured to offer multiple sector-specific and market segment sub-funds, providing global investors with diversified exposure to India’s growing economy. The US dollar-denominated fund has set a minimum investment threshold of $5,000, making it accessible to a broad range of international investors.
The New Fund Offer (NFO) window is currently open for subscription from January 14 to February 13, 2026, offering investors an opportunity to participate in this strategically timed market entry. The fund’s structure allows for targeted investments across various Indian economic sectors, potentially capturing growth in one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies.
This launch positions Barjeel Geojit at the intersection of UAE’s financial expansion strategy and global investor interest in Indian market opportunities, creating a conduit for international capital seeking exposure to India’s diverse economic landscape.
