Securitize, a blockchain-based company focused on tokenization of real-world assets, recently launched a new feeder fund offering tokenized exposure to a private credit fund from Hamilton Lane, an asset manager. The Hamilton Lane fund called SCOPE, aims to give investors broad access to floating-rate senior secured loans that are typically stable in volatile markets. It targets sectors such as healthcare, information technology and business services.

This is the second of three Hamilton Lane funds to be made available on the Securitize platform, a technology which has revolutionized the investor experience when it comes to accessing private markets. Smart contracts based on blockchain offer a variety of advantages such as speeding up manual processes, as well as eliminating intermediaries and reducing unnecessary fees.

Investors in the feeder fund can redeem shares on demand at the previous quarter's Net Asset Value per share through a fully digital process. Furthermore, Securitize charges zero transaction fees for this process. Even though the fund is available for qualified purchasers with at least $5 million invested, the minimum investment has been reduced from $2 million to just $10,000.

All in all, the new Hamilton Lane feeder fund is enabling investors with newfound access to senior private credit investments that are typically highly sought after due to their stability over volatile markets. By tapering to the needs of such investors, Securitize has been able to maximize the value of its platform.
