Securitize launched the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC) on Tuesday, putting Neuberger Berman's fixed-income platform onchain for the first time. The fund invests in high-yield bonds and is available simultaneously on Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui.
Institutional and accredited investors who pass KYC and AML checks can subscribe to HINC. Securitize, an SEC-registered investment advisor, handles the regulatory and operational layer. Neuberger Berman serves as sub-advisor, managing the underlying bond portfolio.
The fund targets what Securitize described as "attractive risk-adjusted returns" from high-yield debt. Tokenization lets the fund trade 24/7 across multiple blockchains, with settlement in stablecoins or native tokens depending on the network.
Securitize has been pushing tokenized assets into regulated markets. The firm listed its own stock on the NYSE under ticker SECZ and tokenized those shares on Avalanche and Solana. It also partnered with Cantor Fitzgerald for tokenized public offerings and with Loopscale to extend SECZ's onchain footprint.
Neuberger Berman manages roughly $500 billion in total assets. Its fixed-income unit oversees corporate bonds, structured credit, and emerging-market debt. The HINC fund gives that platform a direct route to crypto-native capital without the firm having to build its own blockchain infrastructure.
