Securitize is bringing one of the world's largest traditional fixed-income managers further into blockchain markets through a new tokenized bond fund with Neuberger Berman.
The two companies launched the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund, or HINC.
The fund invests mainly in high-yield bonds and other income-producing fixed-income assets, with Neuberger Berman providing its expertise in portfolio management and bond research.
Neuberger manages around $230 billion in assets, making its involvement significant for the tokenization sector.
HINC will be available to eligible investors across Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana and Sui through Securitize's platform.
The fund is designed to bring a traditional fixed-income strategy onto public blockchains while keeping it within a regulated investment structure.
Traditional finance keeps moving onchain
The launch is part of a broader trend in which asset managers are putting traditional financial products onto blockchains.
Securitize has become one of the biggest players in this market.
Last month, the company became a registered investment adviser with the SEC, allowing it to work more closely with asset managers and institutions on tokenized investment products.
Securitize also became the first company to have its own stock begin trading simultaneously on the NYSE and onchain in July.
The company reported $3.4 billion in tokenized assets under management and $19.5 million in revenue during Q1.
The new Neuberger partnership adds another major traditional asset manager to that ecosystem.
HINC will initially be available only to eligible accredited investors and qualified purchasers, with investors required to complete the usual onboarding, KYC and AML checks.
The broader trend is clear: tokenization is moving beyond stablecoins and short-term government debt and increasingly into traditional investment strategies such as corporate and high-yield bonds.
