In a significant move for blockchain-based finance, Securitize has unveiled the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC), a collaboration with Neuberger, a major global asset management firm. This marks a notable expansion in the tokenized securities landscape.
Neuberger’s participation represents its inaugural venture into subadvisory services for a tokenized investment vehicle. With $230 billion under management in fixed-income strategies and approximately $613 billion in total assets, the firm brings substantial institutional credibility to the digital asset space.
The fund’s primary investment focus centers on high-yield corporate bonds, supplemented by allocations to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and leveraged loan instruments.
Access to HINC is restricted to accredited investors and qualified purchasers who successfully complete comprehensive onboarding procedures, including Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification, along with jurisdiction-specific eligibility requirements.
Multi-Chain Architecture Enables Broad Accessibility
The fund’s tokenized shares are distributed across four prominent blockchain platforms: Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Sui. Securitize’s proprietary technology infrastructure facilitates the issuance and administration of these digital securities across all networks.
Carlos Domingo, Chief Executive Officer of Securitize, emphasized that the launch delivers qualified investors the opportunity to access Neuberger’s sophisticated fixed-income methodology through four prominent blockchain ecosystems. He highlighted the platform’s comprehensive regulatory compliance framework.
Securitize Capital LLC assumes the role of HINC’s primary investment adviser. The firm secured registered investment advisor status from the Securities and Exchange Commission during the previous month.
Anil Abraham, Neuberger’s Head of Product Management, noted that the initiative represents an extension of the firm’s active management philosophy and research-intensive fixed-income methodology to blockchain-native investors.
Expanding Ecosystem of Tokenized Real-World Assets
Securitize presently administers approximately $4.96 billion in distributed asset value spanning 26 tokenized real-world assets. The platform’s current offerings encompass BlackRock’s $2.7 billion BUIDL product, a $355 million tokenized AAA-rated CLO fund, and a $95 million diversified credit fund managed by Apollo.
The platform achieved a historic milestone on July 2 when it became the first company to execute a simultaneous listing on the New York Stock Exchange and blockchain networks.
During the first quarter of 2026, Securitize achieved record quarterly revenue of $19.5 million, representing nearly 40% growth compared to the same period in the prior year. The company disclosed $3.4 billion in tokenized assets under management during that reporting period.
On Tuesday, Securitize’s stock price advanced by approximately 5% in response to the HINC announcement, pushing the company’s market capitalization to roughly $838 million.
However, the shares continue to trade more than 50% below the valuations achieved immediately following the company’s July public market debut.
The product introduction arrives amid increasing investor appetite for income-generating investment vehicles. Elevated capital costs have directed market participants toward actively managed fixed-income alternatives.
Neuberger’s fixed-income division has demonstrated resilience across various market environments. According to the firm, the blockchain deployment strategy enables access to a previously untapped segment of qualified investors on a global scale.
