Schroders launches tokenized emerging markets debt fund
6.7 Investments Schroders debuts a tokenized emerging markets debt fund on Solana with Centrifuge, offering onchain access to actively managed bonds and expanding blockchain-based fixed-income products.
Schroders has introduced its first tokenized emerging markets debt fund on the Solana blockchain, partnering with Centrifuge. The new fund, called the Schroder International Selection Fund Emerging Market Bond, provides onchain exposure to an actively managed portfolio of sovereign, corporate, and local-currency bonds from emerging markets. This initiative marks a significant expansion of real-world asset tokenization, moving beyond cash and short-term government securities. It allows institutional investors to access more complex fixed-income products through blockchain technology. The fund operates as a feeder vehicle, with investors holding tokenized shares that reflect the net asset value of the underlying fund. This development is seen as a major step toward bridging traditional finance and blockchain, potentially driving broader institutional adoption and increased activity on the Solana network.
