Neuberger, Securitize launch tokenized high-yield fund

Neuberger and Securitize on Aug. 18, 2026 launched the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC), a tokenized high-yield fixed-income fund issued on Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche and Sui. Neuberger will serve as subadvisor to the fund.

HINC will invest primarily in high-yield corporate bonds and hold additional exposure to collateralized loan obligations and leveraged loans. The fund will be offered to qualified investors under the issuer’s terms and applicable securities rules.

Securitize will issue and manage the fund on its platform, tokenizing and distributing fund shares across the four blockchains and handling compliance, custody options and operational functions. Neuberger will provide active portfolio management through its fixed-income platform.

Neuberger’s fixed-income platform manages more than $230 billion in assets, and the firm had roughly $613 billion in total assets under management at the time of the announcement.

The fund targets higher returns by focusing on below-investment-grade corporate debt and related credit instruments amid a market where borrowing costs and competition for funding have risen.

In a client note, Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo, wrote: “The previous market regime rewarded investors for assuming that capital would remain cheap and plentiful. The emerging regime may reward investors for recognising that capital has a price again.”

Securitize has been expanding its portfolio of tokenized real-world assets. Data show the company had about $4.96 billion in distributed asset value across 26 tokenized assets, including a $2.7 billion fund managed by BlackRock, a $355 million tokenized AAA CLO fund and a $95 million Apollo diversified credit fund.

Securitize’s shares rose about 5% in Tuesday morning trading after the launch, giving the company a market capitalization near $838 million; the stock remained more than 50% below levels reached shortly after its July public debut.

Tokenized funds like HINC use blockchain networks to record ownership and support on-chain administration while relying on traditional asset managers for portfolio decisions and on specialized platforms for issuance and operations.
