Jio Financial Services Listing: A Buzz in the Market Explained

On Monday, Jio Financial Services (JFS), a subsidiary of the Reliance Industries conglomerate headed by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, embarked on its trading debut, beginning at an initial price of ₹262 per share. In a noteworthy move last month, Reliance spun off JFS, assigning it a stock price significantly higher than anticipated at ₹261.85. This elevated valuation positioned the subsidiary at approximately $20 billion during a special trading session.

The official announcement from the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) conveyed the start of trading as follows: “Members participating in trading on the Exchange are hereby notified that beginning Monday, August 21, 2023, the equity shares of Jio Financial Services Ltd (previously identified as Reliance Strategic Investments Limited) will be formally listed and granted permission for trading on the Exchange under the T Group of Securities.” The BSE has assigned the stock symbol “JIOFIN” for JFS in the exchange.

The anticipation surrounding the listing date was met with relief, especially as concerns among index managers had escalated due to the initial delay in this process. One of the prominent index providers, FTSE Russell from the UK, had initially decided to exclude JFS from its indexes due to the postponement. However, this decision was promptly reversed on Friday following the announcement of the listing date.

Following the demerger, existing shareholders received one share of Jio Financial Services for each Reliance share they held. This distribution was executed in the preceding week, and the JFS shares were successfully added to shareholders’ dematerialized (demat) accounts.

In a move that underscores JFS’s significance in the financial landscape, MSCI, another major index services provider, revealed on Friday that JFS would be integrated into its Global Standard Indexes, effectively replacing Reliance Industries. Although JFS is already a constituent of major Indian indexes, including the prominent Nifty 50, active trading will only be permissible post it’s official listing. Additionally, in adherence to exchange regulations, the stock will be delisted at the end of its third day of trading.

It’s noteworthy that Jio Financial Services is slated to be removed from the Nifty and Sensex indices on August 24, marking the conclusion of its third day of listing. This transition underscores the dynamic nature of the financial markets and the pivotal role that JFS is poised to play in reshaping the investment landscape.
