Neuberger Partners With Securitize on Tokenized Credit Fund

Neuberger Berman, a $613 billion global asset manager, is expanding its digital asset strategy through a partnership with Securitize to launch a tokenized high-yield fixed-income fund. The vehicle will be subadvised by Neuberger and issued across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Sui, signaling continued institutional experimentation with blockchain-native fund distribution.

The initiative is notable not only for the size of the manager involved, but also for its multi-chain design. Rather than anchoring issuance to a single network, the structure suggests a broader approach to investor access, settlement flexibility, and ecosystem reach. For market participants, this is another data point confirming that tokenization is moving beyond proof-of-concept into a more operational phase, especially in traditional credit markets.

From a product perspective, tokenized fixed-income funds are attractive because they combine familiar yield exposure with the operational advantages of blockchain rails: faster transferability, improved transparency, and the potential for more efficient secondary market workflows. If executed at scale, these products could reduce friction in fund administration and broaden access to institutional-grade credit strategies. Investors monitoring execution venues and liquidity pathways may want to track how such assets interact with tools like the [Squaby Swap Router](https://swap.squaby.com) as tokenized instruments become more composable across DeFi and permissioned markets.

The choice of Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Sui also carries strategic implications. Ethereum remains the dominant institutional settlement layer, while Solana offers high throughput and low transaction costs. Avalanche has positioned itself around customizable financial infrastructure, and Sui is increasingly being evaluated for performance-oriented applications. A multi-chain issuance strategy may help mitigate single-network dependency, but it also introduces complexity around interoperability, custody, compliance, and liquidity fragmentation.

For asset managers, the strategic value of tokenization is not limited to distribution. It may also reshape how funds are serviced, how ownership is recorded, and how secondary transfers are managed under regulatory constraints. In that sense, the Neuberger-Securitize collaboration fits into a broader institutional trend: integrating blockchain rails without abandoning the governance standards expected in traditional asset management.
