The tokenization push is moving deeper into fixed income. Neuberger Berman, an independent investment manager with more than $600 billion in assets, has partnered with Securitize to bring its first tokenized fund onchain, extending the firm's fixed-income capabilities to blockchain-based distribution across four public networks.

Securitize announced the launch in a post on X on August 18, 2026:

The Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC) gives eligible investors blockchain-based access to a portfolio focused on higher-yielding fixed-income assets, with participation available via Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui.

HINC Brings High-Income Credit Onchain

Designed to create an attractive level of current income, HINC invests the bulk of its assets in high-yield bonds. The remainder may be dedicated to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), bank loans, and different types of high-yield fixed-income securities. Significantly, the fund is leverage-free, according to its fund documents.

That profile distinguishes HINC from tokenized products that are backed primarily by cash or short-term government debt. Instead, the fund exposes investors to a segment of the fixed-income market in which participants typically seek a higher income coupled with a higher level of credit risk. For tokenization efforts more broadly, that makes HINC notable because it brings a more complex credit strategy into a format that has often been used for simpler, lower-risk assets.

Four Blockchains From Day One

HINC is opening across multiple chains, with the debut rollout available on Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui — four public blockchain networks — from day one. According to Securitize, the offering combines the firm's existing capabilities in the fixed-income segment with blockchain technology in order to enhance accessibility and transparency.

Securitize Handles the Tokenization Infrastructure

Securitize will assist with HINC's operational aspects, including issuance, transfer agency, fund administration, and associated tokenization services. Access will be granted via Securitize's regulated platform, where investors must go through onboarding processes and must meet the applicable technical and suitability requirements.

The vehicle is the first tokenized fixed-income fund launched by Neuberger Berman and marks the firm's entry into blockchain fixed income. Established in 1939, the firm has developed a collection of investment strategies based on research conducted over various market cycles.

Securitize CEO and founder Carlos Domingo said the fund offers Neuberger's proven fixed-income expertise on public blockchains. He also pointed to the four-network rollout and to Securitize's end-to-end infrastructure, which is compatible with the fund and regulated.

With HINC, tokenized exposure extends beyond cash and short-term government debt into high-yield credit, and eligible investors can access the fund across four public blockchains from day one through Securitize's regulated infrastructure.
