What happened: Securitize and Neuberger Berman have launched the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC), a first-of-its-kind high-yield/credit tokenized fund from a major asset manager. The fund invests in high-yield bonds, CLOs, leveraged loans, and other fixed-income assets, and is available to eligible investors on Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui. Neuberger Berman brings ~$230 billion in fixed-income AUM to the initiative, and Securitize recently secured SEC-registered investment advisor status, enabling deeper institutional partnerships.
Why it matters: This marks a significant expansion for tokenized funds beyond the treasury and money-market products that have dominated the space. By targeting higher-yield, credit-focused strategies and leveraging multiple blockchains, Securitize and Neuberger Berman are testing institutional demand for more complex onchain financial products. The move could accelerate adoption of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and set a precedent for other major asset managers considering onchain offerings.
