Summary

Baillie Gifford has launched the Enhanced Yield Fund, BAGEY, on Ethereum. The blockchain serves as the fund’s legal register of record, and the structure uses native onchain issuance, meaning the token itself represents the fund interest rather than a separate digital wrapper. The fund is backed by short-duration government and corporate bonds, underscoring how tokenized fund structures can place traditional fixed-income exposure directly on blockchain rails.

Terms & Concepts
  • native onchain issuance: Creating the fund interest directly on blockchain
  • legal register of record: Official ownership ledger recognized as authoritative
  • short-duration bonds: Bonds with relatively near-term maturities
