In brief New York Life Investment Management, which oversees $807 billion in assets, has teamed with blockchain platform Centrifuge to launch its first-ever tokenized fund.
The fund keeps NYLIM's existing investment process intact, but allows eligible investors to access it on-chain, with transactions settled in USDC.
该交易反映了华尔街公司尝试代币化以实现运营现代化并进军 DeFi 市场的日益增长的趋势。
New York Life Investment Management, one of the country's largest active asset managers, is moving a piece of its fixed-income business onto the blockchain, partnering with tokenization platform Centrifuge to offer a high-yield corporate bond strategy to crypto-native investors.
The companies announced Tuesday the launch of the NYLIM Anemoy U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Segregated Portfolio, trading under the ticker HYB. It is NYLIM's first tokenized product, and one of the earliest attempts to bring a high-yield bond fund onto public blockchain infrastructure, according to the announcement.
NYLIM manages roughly $807 billion in assets. Under the arrangement, the firm's existing high-yield strategy—including its investment process and risk management—will remain unchanged, but eligible investors will be able to buy in through tokens issued on Centrifuge's platform, with subscriptions and redemptions settled in the stablecoin USDC.
Thomas Sy, NYLIM's head of multi-asset solutions, said in a statement that tokenization reflects investor demand for "transparency, efficiency and broader market participation," and that the firm sees blockchain infrastructure as a complement to its traditional platform rather than a replacement.
