Summary
Securitize announced the launch of the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC), a collaboration that represents a milestone in the tokenization of traditional fixed-income strategies. Neuberger Berman, a global investment manager with $230 billion in assets under management, is serving as subadvisor—its first role supporting a tokenized fund. The partnership underscores growing institutional appetite for blockchain-based exposure to established asset classes.
The fund is structured to provide eligible accredited investors and qualified purchasers with onchain access to high-yield bonds and other income-producing fixed-income investments. HINC will be available across four major blockchain networks: Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui. This multi-chain deployment strategy expands liquidity options and accessibility for institutional investors seeking tokenized fixed-income exposure. Securitize Capital LLC operates as the fund's investment adviser, while Neuberger Berman contributes its portfolio management and research capabilities to the strategy.
According to Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo, "This tokenized fund brings Neuberger's established fixed income capabilities to public blockchains." Anil Abraham, Head of Product Management at Neuberger Berman, emphasized that the firm is extending its actively managed approach to qualified investors seeking onchain fixed-income access. The launch comes at a time when Securitize has strengthened its regulatory footing, having recently obtained status as a registered investment advisor with the U.S. SEC. This credential facilitates broader institutional participation and compliance with securities law requirements.
Access to HINC is restricted to eligible investors meeting accreditation standards and subject to onboarding, KYC/AML verification, jurisdictional eligibility checks, and applicable securities regulations. The fund represents Securitize's continued institutional expansion in tokenizing real-world assets—a market segment the firm manages at scale, with over $4 billion in tokenized RWAs in partnership with tier-one asset managers including BlackRock, KKR, and Hamilton Lane.
