President’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for the Neuberger Berman Income Funds covering the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period).
The taxable investment-grade fixed income market was largely flat during the reporting period. That said, there were periods of elevated volatility, as investors reacted to the evolving inflation picture, ongoing interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), and a surprisingly resilient economy. Other factors impacting the market were unrest in the banking sector, the threat of a government shutdown, and numerous geopolitical events.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fed remained steadfast in its commitment to rein in inflation, while attempting to orchestrate a "soft landing" for the economy. After raising the federal funds rate seven times in calendar year 2022, the Fed continued to push its policy rate higher with hikes in January, March and May 2023. After pausing in June, the central bank again pushed the policy rate higher in July to a range between 5.25% and 5.50%, the highest level in 22 years. While the Fed held steady in both September and November (after the reporting period ended), it has not ruled out the potential for additional rate hikes in the future.
Short-, intermediate- and long-term Treasury yields moved higher, pushing their prices lower (yields and bond prices generally move in the opposite direction). Meanwhile, credit spreads were mixed, with corporate and emerging markets sovereign spreads tightening, whereas mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities spreads widened modestly over the reporting period. All told, the broad taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 0.36% during the reporting period. The municipal (i.e., tax-free) market was also negatively impacted by rising interest rates.
While the U.S. economy has surprised to the upside, a number of potential headwinds could cause growth to moderate in the coming quarters, in our view. Inflation remains "sticky" and well above the Fed’s 2% target. This has led to expectations for a "higher for longer" interest rate environment. Meanwhile, robust consumer spending is unlikely to continue at its torrid pace as the cumulative impact from higher long-term interest rates take hold.
Continued volatility in the financial markets cannot be ruled out. In such an environment, it’s our belief that professional portfolio management can be extremely valuable to help navigate shifting market dynamics. While elevated volatility can be unnerving, we believe it’s best to take a long-term approach and look to capitalize on these periods to identify attractive investment opportunities for our shareholders.
Thank you for your support and trust. We look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs in the years to come.
Sincerely,
Joseph V. Amato
President and CEO

Core Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund Institutional Class delivered a 0.46% total return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period) and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Index), which provided a 0.36% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The taxable investment-grade fixed income market, as measured by the Index, posted a modest gain during the reporting period. A number of factors impacted the market, including the evolving inflation picture, ongoing interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), unrest in the regional banking industry, and several geopolitical events. Despite headwinds, the U.S. economy was surprisingly resilient and continued to expand. All told, short-, intermediate- and long-term Treasury yields moved higher (yields and bond prices generally move in the opposite direction) and credit spreads were mixed during the reporting period.
In terms of relative performance, security selection in investment-grade credit and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) were the largest contributors during the reporting period, followed by the Fund’s allocations to mortgage credit, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). Security selection in asset-backed securities (ABS) and overweight exposures to ABS and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) versus the Index were also additive. The Fund’s interest rate positioning was the main detractor from relative performance, primarily due to the Fund’s modest duration overweight; security selection in investment-grade credit slightly detracted.
The Fund’s use of futures contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
We made some relative value positioning adjustments during the period. We increased the Fund’s exposure to ABS, agency MBS and mortgage credit, and we reduced exposure to nominal U.S. Treasuries and CMBS. We tactically added exposure to TIPS in March and sold in July due to our views on valuations. As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund was overweight a diversified mix of securitized sectors—including ABS, agency MBS, CMBS, CLOs and mortgage credit—balanced by underweight exposure in nominal U.S. Treasuries.
Coming into 2023, many anticipated a dramatically slowing economy that would lead to progress on inflation and eventually cause central banks to pull back on monetary tightening. However, such expectations underestimated the overhang of COVID-era stimulus and U.S. spending tied to climate and infrastructure. Flush with excess savings and willing to utilize credit, consumers have continued to spend at a robust pace, moving from goods purchases to services and travel. Corporate earnings, although down, have been far more resilient than many expected. Meanwhile inflation has made an encouraging move downward but remains well above target. This has reshuffled expectations around the Fed’s policy stance, resulting in an upward shift in longer-term yields over the past few months. There are signs of fragility, however. In the U.S., consumers appear to be hitting their limit, as savings are depleted, federal student loan payments resume, and credit card balances become overstuffed. The industrial economy, meanwhile, seems ready to rebound given the demand for re-shoring and infrastructure spending.  From a policy perspective, we believe the Fed is generally close to done on raising interest rates. However, a slower but still resilient U.S. economy and structural constraints on inflation are likely to keep us in a "higher for longer" rate environment, in our view, as the central bank waits to see the lagging impacts of aggressive tightening.
Sincerely,
Thanos Bardas, David M. Brown, Nathan Kush and Brad Tank

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA") had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by NBIA) will decrease the class’s returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
As stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2022 were 0.93%, 0.43%, 0.80%, 1.58% and 0.34% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any).

Emerging Markets Debt Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund Institutional Class generated an 11.36% total return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period), and outperformed its benchmark, a blend consisting of 50% J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index—Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified, 25% J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI®)—Global Diversified, and 25% J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index (CEMBI)—Diversified (collectively, the Index), which delivered an 11.05% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
During the reporting period, overall market sentiment was driven by developments around inflation and monetary policy, with signs of peaking hiking cycles and disinflation across various emerging countries supporting local bond returns.  China’s reopening was a supportive theme early on in the reporting period while defaulted names continued to make progress towards a restructuring agreement with official and private creditors. However, Treasuries as well as risk assets came under more pressure as the year progressed, with expectations that interest rates might remain higher for longer and economic data might soften further, particularly in Europe and China. Geopolitical events also disrupted markets. U.S. Treasury 10-year yields saw significant volatility, ending the reporting period at 4.88%, higher by nearly 0.80% from the beginning of the reporting period and close to the levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis. Emerging markets (EM) benchmark spreads tightened to 4.36% from 5.42%, with a trough of 3.98% in July. EM currencies strengthened versus the U.S. dollar on average, with currencies such as Colombian peso and Hungarian forint leading the way.
The Fund outperformed the Index during the reporting period due to the bottom-up security selection in the underlying sleeves in the portfolio. Hard currency positioning in high yielding countries, including Sri Lanka, El Salvador and Argentina, which recovered after the sell-off in 2022, was the primary driver of performance. The underweight to select high-yielding frontier names versus the Index detracted from performance. Corporate positioning was also additive overall given the underweight in Chinese real estate and strong security selection across the financial and metals and mining sectors. Idiosyncratic events in distressed positions in Brazil and Chile weighed on performance. The impact from local currency positioning was neutral over the period. The underweight exposure to Turkish rates and foreign currency (FX) was a strong driver of performance as was the active positioning in Egypt throughout the period. The overweight to the Colombian peso was also additive. However, the overweight rates positions in Brazil, Israel and Mexico detracted from performance.
The contribution from tactical allocation was negative over the reporting period. The tactical overweight to U.S. interest rate duration and a credit default swap index (CDX EM) position that we held due to the higher risk profile of the strategy detracted from performance. We cut these positions late in the period.  The impact from asset allocation was negative. While the underweight to hard currency sovereigns and corporates was additive, it came at the cost of the tactical positioning around local currency which outperformed during the period.
The Fund’s aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, and swap contracts, detracted from performance during the reporting period.
Over the reporting period there were a number of changes within the Fund’s tactical asset allocation as well as the underlying sub-asset classes. Within the tactical asset allocation, we started the period with a slight underweight to hard currency and corporates and a 3% underweight exposure to local currency, while holding a 3% cash position. We deployed cash to move to an overweight position in hard currency in December 2022 to capture the market optimism but cut the exposure as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board continued to hike rates and U.S. Treasury yields remained elevated. We deployed cash to local currency markets, reaching an overweight of 1.5% in August 2023 before moving to neutral to reduce portfolio beta1 by the end of the reporting period. We also moved the hard currency and corporate sleeves to an underweight in favor of cash during the reporting period as market volatility increased. We actively maintained long positions in selected local rates markets through swaps during the reporting period to have exposure to the secular trend of lower EM inflation. We also removed the CDX EM

position in the tactical asset allocation near the end of the reporting period. Finally, we had an interest rate duration overweight through September 2023. 
From a bottom-up perspective, we continued to hold an overweight in the high yield segment of the market biased toward BB rated issuers, in the hard currency sleeve as we believe that valuations remain attractive in this part of the market. In terms of changes over the reporting period, we took profits in the high yield space early in the period as markets rallied.
In corporate positioning, we actively participated in the new issuance market, though activity was much more limited in the reporting period as issuers adapted to the rising rate environment. We favored financials across regions as we believed financial institutions to be well capitalized. We also favored the metals & mining sector, especially as commodities, especially copper, are likely to see support from improving global growth, combined with the rising global energy transition. We reduced exposure to Chinese real estate throughout the period given the ongoing challenges to growth and limited policy support from the government.
On the local currency side, we held a small amount of EM FX risk given our fundamental view on select currencies. These included modest overweights in Latin America (as well as South Africa). However, we remained close to neutral in overall EM FX positioning, given the recent U.S. dollar strength offering little incentive to add. On the rates side, we pared back our duration overweight leaving room to add in our key duration positions including in Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Czech Republic, Indonesia, and South Korea, when we saw volatility subside. We have duration underweights in a few low yielding countries where we saw limited upside such as Thailand.
Going forward, uncertainty remains around the need for further monetary tightening in the U.S., given resilience in growth. Once a slowdown starts to materialize, financial conditions are likely to ease, creating the potential for upside in EM fixed income securities. Questions remain around China’s relatively weak recovery, deflation, and structural headwinds. We anticipate growth in China of 5.2% this year and 4.0% in 2024, supported by countercyclical monetary policy and the recent fiscal policy announcements. Still, for EM economies in aggregate, we believe gross domestic product growth is likely to outperform developed markets this year and next.
Broadly, we continue to anticipate disinflation to progress across most EM countries, despite recent volatility in food and energy prices. In our view, local currency bonds will likely regain their strength once core rates markets stabilize.
The key risks to our views are either an unexpected acceleration of inflation dynamics globally which could require substantially more rate hikes, or the unfolding of a global recession, which could push EM risk premia materially higher.

1 Beta is a measure of the systematic risk of a portfolio. It is the covariance of the portfolio and a market index divided by the variance of the market index. Beta measures the historical sensitivity of a portfolio’s returns to movements in the market index. The beta of the market index will always be one. A portfolio with a beta above the market index (i.e., ˃1) means that the portfolio has greater volatility than the market index. If the beta of the portfolio is 1.2, a market increase in return of 1% implies a 1.2% increase in the portfolio’s return. If the beta of the portfolio is 0.8, a market decrease in return of 1% implies a 0.8% decrease in the portfolio’s return.

Emerging Markets Debt Fund (Unaudited)
COMPARISON OF A $1,000,000 INVESTMENT
(000's omitted)
This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal years, or since the Fund’s inception if it has not operated for 10 years. The graph is based on the Institutional Class shares only; the performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses (see Performance Highlights chart on previous page). The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may include a more narrowly based index. Market indices have not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results.

Floating Rate Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund Institutional Class generated an 11.67% total return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period) and underperformed its benchmark, the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index (the Index), which provided a 11.92% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The senior floating rate bank loan market, as measured by the Index, generated strong positive returns during the reporting period. A number of factors impacted the overall fixed income market, including elevated and persistent inflation, aggressive rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), unrest in the regional banking industry and several large international banks, as well as several geopolitical events. Despite these headwinds, the U.S. economy was resilient and continued to expand. All told, loan yields moved higher, and investors benefited from this higher income, as base rates rose, and the U.S. loans weighted average bid prices increased over the reporting period.
We have the flexibility to allocate up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets to non-floating rate securities, usually fixed-rate senior bonds. However, over the reporting period, the Fund largely maintained its positioning in non-floating rate securities, as floating rate loans offered attractive relative value compared to fixed-rate bonds. The Fund's non-floating rate allocation ended the reporting period at approximately 7.1% of net assets compared to 7.3% of net assets at beginning of the reporting period.
From a sector perspective on a relative basis versus the Index, security selection within Diversified Financial Services and Software, along with security selection within and an underweight to Diversified Telecommunications Services, were the best performers. Conversely, security selection within and an underweight to Information Technology services, security selection within and an overweight to Health Care Technology, and security selection within Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure were the worst performers.
In terms of the Fund's portfolio credit quality on a relative basis versus the Index, security selection within and an overweight to B, an underweight to and security selection within BBB, security selection within and an underweight to not rated, and security selection within and an underweight to BB rated issuers were the best performers. Conversely, an underweight to and security selection within CCC and below rated issuers were the worst performers.
Looking ahead, with yields just under 10% on the U.S. senior floating rate loan market, we believe valuations are providing more-than-adequate compensation for the around average default outlook by the market, will continue to provide durable income, and are attractive compared to other fixed income alternatives. While the economy remains resilient, we believe slowing real demand has helped inflation continue to move downward. In our view, the lagged effects of monetary tightening, higher current interest rates and shifts in consumer behavior are likely to keep pushing inflation toward the Fed’s target range. However, higher interest rates could put more pressure on the consumer and broader economy. As credit dispersion has been on the rise, our analysts remain keenly focused on the specific fundamentals of individual issuers in their coverage, assessing the base and downside cases in the event of a soft-landing or recession. Relatively healthy consumer and business balance sheets and nominal GDP growth should continue to provide support for most issuers’ fundamentals, in our view. We believe our bottom-up, fundamental credit research that focuses on security selection, avoiding credit deterioration, and putting only our "best ideas" into portfolios, will position us well to take advantage of periods of volatility.
Sincerely,
Joseph P. Lynch and Stephen J. Casey

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.  
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA") had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by NBIA) will decrease the class’s returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
As stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2022 were 0.72%, 1.11% and 1.85% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any, and after restatement). The expense ratios were 0.61%, 0.98% and 1.73% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers and restatement. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2023, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.
Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1.00%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

High Income Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 4.03% total return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period), underperforming its benchmark, the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Constrained Index (the Index), which provided a 5.81% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The high-yield market, as measured by the Index, generated a positive return during the reporting period. A number of factors impacted the overall fixed income market, including elevated and persistent inflation, aggressive rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), unrest in the regional banking industry and several large international banks, as well as rising geopolitical risk. Despite these headwinds, the U.S. economy was resilient and continued to expand. All told, high-yield credit spreads tightened, and high-yield bond prices rose during the reporting period.
During the reporting period, from a sector perspective on a relative basis versus the Index, security selection within and an overweight to Diversified Financial Services and Building Materials, as well as an underweight to Media-Broadcast, were the best performers. In contrast, security selection within Telecommunications, and Media-Cable, as well as security selection within, and an overweight to Technology & Electronics were the worst performers.
In terms of the Fund's portfolio credit quality on a relative basis versus the Index during the reporting period, security selection within BBB and above, security selection within and an overweight to B, an overweight to not rated, and an underweight to BB rated issuers were the best performers. Conversely, security selection within and an overweight to CCC and below, and security selection within BB and not rated, as well as an overweight to BBB and above rated issuers were the worst performers. Over the reporting period, distressed CCC rated issuers, as measured by the ICE BofA U.S. Distressed High Yield Index, outperformed with a total return of 8.29%. As a result of our disciplined approach, which avoided investing in some of these distressed CCC rated issuers during the reporting period, the Fund’s relative performance was hurt.
The Fund’s use of swap contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
Looking ahead, we remain constructive on the U.S. high-yield market at current spread levels. In our view, U.S. high-yield valuations and yields are attractive and compensating investors for the around average default outlook by the market. While the economy remains resilient, we believe slowing real demand has helped inflation continue to move downward. In our view, the lagged effects of monetary tightening, higher current interest rates and shifts in consumer behavior are likely to keep pushing inflation toward the Fed’s target range. However, higher interest rates could put more pressure on the consumer and broader economy. As credit dispersion has been on the rise, our analysts remain keenly focused on the specific fundamentals of individual issuers in their coverage, assessing the base and downside cases in the event of a soft-landing or recession. Relatively healthy consumer and business balance sheets and nominal GDP growth should continue to provide support for most issuers’ fundamentals, in our view. While the incoming macroeconomic data and overall credit cycle dynamics can move the high-yield market day-to-day, we remain very focused on industry-specific trends and idiosyncratic risks to individual issuers. We believe our bottom-up, fundamental credit research that focuses on security selection, avoiding credit deterioration, and putting only our "best ideas" into portfolios, will position us well to take advantage of periods of volatility.

Municipal High Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 0.84% total return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period) and underperformed its benchmark, a blend consisting of 65% Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index and 35% Bloomberg Municipal High Yield Index (collectively, the Index), which provided a 3.11% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.) 
The investment-grade municipal (muni) bond market generated a positive return and outperformed the taxable investment-grade bond market during the reporting period. All told, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned 2.64% for the reporting period, whereas the overall taxable investment-grade bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 0.36%. A number of factors impacted the fixed income market, including elevated and persistent inflation, aggressive rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, unrest in the regional banking industry, and several geopolitical events. Despite several headwinds, the U.S. economy was resilient and continued to expand. All told, both short- and long-term yields moved higher (yields and bond prices generally move in the opposite direction) during the reporting period.
In terms of the Fund’s relative performance versus the Index during the reporting period, revenue bond security selection detracted from returns. In particular, several project-related securities were headwinds for results. An allocation to Puerto Rico Electric Authority bonds also negatively impacted returns. On the upside, duration positioning contributed to performance. Within the investment-grade portion of the portfolio, allocations to securities rated AAA, AA and BBB were beneficial. Finally, the Fund’s exposure to securities issued by the state of Illinois was rewarded, as they were upgraded during the reporting period.  
High quality short to intermediate munis ended the reporting period with yields pushing up against 4%. With increased supply and market volatility, munis have cheapened relative to U.S. Treasury securities. In our opinion, for someone in the highest federal tax bracket, 10-year AAA munis have the potential to offer a higher taxable equivalent yield over the comparable Treasury. In volatile and rising rate environments, we believe active management should shine as more selling pressure creates opportunities to add what we  believe to be mispriced securities. In our view, munis are a durable asset class and a good place to be if economic activity slows down more than is currently anticipated.

Municipal Impact Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Municipal Impact Fund Institutional Class generated a 1.11% total return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period) and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index (the Index), which provided a 2.64% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.) 
The investment-grade municipal (muni) bond market generated a positive return and outperformed the taxable investment-grade bond market during the reporting period. All told, the Index returned 2.64% for the reporting period, whereas the overall taxable investment-grade bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 0.36%. A number of factors impacted the fixed income market, including elevated and persistent inflation, aggressive rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), unrest in the regional banking industry, and several geopolitical events. Despite several headwinds, the U.S. economy was resilient and continued to expand. All told, both short- and long-term yields moved higher (yields and bond prices generally move in the opposite direction) during the reporting period. 
In terms of the Fund’s relative performance versus the Index during the reporting period, duration positioning detracted from results. Revenue bond security selection was also a headwind for returns. In particular, certain positions in the Housing sector negatively impacted performance. On the upside, general obligation bond security selection contributed to results, led by our exposure to school districts in the state of Michigan. 
Looking at portfolio changes during the reporting period, we modestly increased the Fund’s duration in anticipation of the Fed nearing the end of its interest rate hiking cycle. As always, the Fund maintained its exposure to what we believed were projects that were impactful for their communities. We also continued to focus on sustainable issuers with what we view as having best-in-class operations, with managements that make sound financial decisions. 
High quality short to intermediate munis ended the reporting period with yields pushing up against 4%. With increased supply and market volatility, munis have cheapened relative to U.S. Treasury securities. In our opinion, for someone in the highest federal tax bracket, 10-year AAA munis have the potential to offer a higher taxable equivalent yield over the comparable Treasury. In volatile and rising rate environments, we believe active management should shine as more selling pressure creates opportunities to add what we believe to be mispriced securities. In our view, munis are a durable asset class and a good place to be if economic activity slows down more than is currently anticipated.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For current performance data, including current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.
The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.  
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA") had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by NBIA) will decrease the class’s returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
As stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2022 were 0.81%, 3.06%, and 6.71% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.43%, 0.80% and 1.55% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2023, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.
Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1.00%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

COMPARISON OF A $1,000,000 INVESTMENT
(000's omitted)
This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal years, or since the Fund’s inception if it has not operated for 10 years. The graph is based on the Institutional Class shares only; the performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses (see Performance Highlights chart on previous page). The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may include a more narrowly based index. Market indices have not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 2.29% total return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period) and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg 7-Year General Obligation (G.O.) Index (the Index), which provided a 1.87% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.) 
The investment-grade municipal (muni) bond market generated a positive return and outperformed the taxable investment-grade bond market during the reporting period. All told, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index returned 2.64% for the reporting period, whereas the overall taxable investment-grade bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 0.36%. A number of factors impacted the fixed income market, including elevated and persistent inflation, aggressive rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), unrest in the regional banking industry, and several geopolitical events. Despite several headwinds, the U.S. economy was resilient and continued to expand. All told, both short- and long-term yields moved higher (yields and bond prices generally move in the opposite direction) during the reporting period. 
In terms of the Fund’s relative performance versus the Index during the reporting period, an overweight to bonds rated BBB and below was beneficial, as these higher yielding securities outperformed the Index. G.O. security selection was also beneficial. In particular, the Fund’s exposure to securities issued by the state of Illinois was rewarded, as they were upgraded during the reporting period. On the downside, yield curve positioning was a small detractor from performance.  
Looking at portfolio changes during the reporting period, we modestly increased the Fund’s duration in anticipation of the Fed nearing the end of its interest rate hiking cycle. 
High quality short to intermediate munis ended the reporting period with yields pushing up against 4%. With increased supply and market volatility, munis have cheapened relative to U.S. Treasury securities. In our opinion, for someone in the highest federal tax bracket, 10-year AAA munis have the potential to offer a higher taxable equivalent yield over the comparable Treasury. In volatile and rising rate environments, we believe active management should shine as more selling pressure creates opportunities to add what we believe to be mispriced securities. In our view, munis are a durable asset class and a good place to be if economic activity slows down more than is currently anticipated. 
Sincerely,
James L. Iselin and S. Blake Miller

Short Duration Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 4.62% total return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period) and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg 1–3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index (the Index), which provided a 3.23% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)   
The overall investment-grade taxable fixed income market posted a modest gain during the reporting period. A number of factors impacted the market, including elevated and persistent inflation, aggressive rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), unrest in the regional banking industry, and several geopolitical events. Despite several headwinds, the U.S. economy was resilient and continued to expand. All told, both short- and long-term yields moved higher (yields and bond prices generally move in the opposite direction) and U.S. credit spreads were mixed during the reporting period. 
The largest contributor to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period was its exposure to investment-grade corporate bonds. Security selection within the industrials sector was the most beneficial, led by our technology, media, and telecom (TMT) positions. Within the financial sector, our bank holdings added the most value. Elsewhere, an allocation to structured products, including credit risk transfers (CRT), asset-backed securities (ABS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and agency passthroughs all contributed to performance. An allocation to non-investment grade corporates was additive as well. On the downside, duration positioning detracted from returns. In particular, having a longer duration than the Index was not rewarded as rates moved higher. 
The Fund’s aggregate use of futures and swap contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period. 
We made several adjustments to the Fund’s sector positioning over the reporting period. We increased its allocations to CRT, ABS and agency passthroughs, while reducing its allocation to U.S. Treasury securities. We also increased the Fund’s duration, given our anticipation that the Fed was done or close to done raising interest rates. 
Coming into 2023, many anticipated a dramatically slowing economy that would lead to progress on inflation and eventually cause central banks to pull back on monetary tightening. However, such expectations underestimated the overhang of COVID-era stimulus and U.S. spending tied to climate and infrastructure. Flush with excess savings and willing to utilize credit, consumers have continued to spend at a robust pace, moving from goods purchases to services and travel. Corporate earnings, although down, have been far more resilient than many expected.  Meanwhile inflation has made an encouraging move downward, but still remains well above target. This has reshuffled expectations around the Fed’s policy stance, resulting in an upward shift in longer-term yields over the past few months. There are signs of fragility, however. In the U.S., consumers appear to be hitting their limit, as savings are depleted, federal student loan payments resume, and credit card balances become overstuffed. The industrial economy, meanwhile, seems ready to rebound given the demand for re-shoring and infrastructure spending.  From a policy perspective, we believe the Fed is generally close to done on raising interest rates. However, a slower but still resilient U.S. economy and structural constraints on inflation are likely to keep us in a "higher for longer" rate environment, in our view, as the central bank waits to see the lagging impacts of aggressive tightening.

Strategic Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund Institutional Class delivered a 4.58% total return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 (the reporting period), outperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Index), which provided a 0.36% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The taxable investment-grade fixed income market, as measured by the Index, posted a modest gain during the reporting period. A number of factors impacted the market, including the evolving inflation picture, ongoing interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), unrest in the regional banking industry, and several geopolitical events. Despite headwinds, the U.S. economy was surprisingly resilient and continued to expand. All told, short-, intermediate- and long-term Treasury yields moved higher (yields and bond prices generally move in the opposite direction) and credit spreads were mixed during the reporting period.
Over the reporting period, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning, allocations to securitized credit and high yield bonds, and security selection in investment-grade credit and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) were the largest contributors to relative performance. Allocations to municipal bonds and emerging markets debt were secondary contributors. The Fund’s underweight exposure to investment-grade credit, overweight exposure to agency MBS, and exposure to financial hybrids were the primary detractors from relative performance.
The Fund’s aggregate use of futures, swap, forward foreign currency, bond forward and option contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
We made some relative value positioning adjustments during the reporting period. We realized profits and reduced exposure to investment-grade and high yield corporate credit and increased our exposure to agency MBS. Looking ahead, we plan to favor a quality bias as a way to defend against potential economic weakness and will continue to dynamically manage the Fund’s rate positioning. 
Coming into 2023, many anticipated a dramatically slowing economy that would lead to progress on inflation and eventually cause central banks to pull back on monetary tightening. However, such expectations underestimated the overhang of COVID-era stimulus and U.S. spending tied to climate and infrastructure. Flush with excess savings and willing to utilize credit, consumers have continued to spend at a robust pace, moving from goods purchases to services and travel. Corporate earnings, although down, have been far more resilient than many expected.  Meanwhile inflation has made an encouraging move downward but remains well above target. This has reshuffled expectations around the Fed’s policy stance, resulting in an upward shift in longer-term yields over the past few months. There are signs of fragility, however. In the U.S., consumers appear to be hitting their limit, as savings are depleted, federal student loan payments resume, and credit card balances become overstuffed. The industrial economy, meanwhile, seems ready to rebound given the demand for re-shoring and infrastructure spending. From a policy perspective, we believe the Fed is generally close to done on raising interest rates. However, a slower but still resilient U.S. economy and structural constraints on inflation are likely to keep us in a "higher for longer" rate environment, in our view, as the central bank waits to see the lagging impacts of aggressive tightening.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA") had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by NBIA) will decrease the class’s returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
As stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2022 were 1.00%, 0.61%, 1.00%, 1.73% and 0.51% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.95%, 0.60%, 1.00%, 1.70% and 0.50% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The total annual operating expense ratio for Class A includes the class’s repayment of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived under the contractual expense limitation by NBIA. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2023, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.
Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1.00%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

COMPARISON OF A $1,000,000 INVESTMENT
(000's omitted)
This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal years, or since the Fund’s inception if it has not operated for 10 years. The graph is based on the Institutional Class shares only; the performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses (see Performance Highlights chart on previous page). The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may include a more narrowly based index. Market indices have not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results.

Information About Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (if applicable), and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in U.S. dollars) of investing in a Fund and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This table is designed to provide information regarding costs related to your investments. The following examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended October 31, 2023 and held for the entire period. The table illustrates each Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Expenses and
Performance:
The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual
expenses in dollars, based on the Fund’s actual performance during the period indicated.
You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to
estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by
$1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply
the result by the number in the first section of the table under the heading entitled
"Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid over the period.
Hypothetical Example for
Comparison Purposes:
The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate
of return at 5% per year before expenses. This return is not the Fund’s actual return. The
hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending
account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to
compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund versus other funds. To do so, compare
the expenses shown in this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples
that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) (if applicable). Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements Income Funds
Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
1
General: Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Instrument dated March 27, 2014. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each of Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund ("Core Bond"), Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund ("Emerging Markets Debt"), Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund ("Floating Rate Income"), Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund ("High Income"), Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund ("Municipal High Income"), Neuberger Berman Municipal Impact Fund ("Municipal Impact"), Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund ("Municipal Intermediate Bond"), Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund ("Short Duration") and Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund ("Strategic Income") (each individually a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds") is a separate operating series of the Trust. Each Fund is diversified. Under the 1940 Act, the status of a Fund that was registered as non-diversified may, under certain circumstances, change to that of a diversified fund. Emerging Markets Debt became diversified in March 2022. Four Funds offer Investor Class shares, two offer Trust Class shares, nine offer Institutional Class shares, nine offer Class A shares, nine offer Class C shares, one offers Class R3 shares, three offer Class R6 shares and one offers Class E shares. The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.
A balance indicated with a "—", reflects either a zero balance or a balance that rounds to less than 1.
The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other series of the Trust.
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 "Financial Services—Investment Companies."
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires Management to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2
Portfolio valuation: In accordance with ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of the Funds are carried at the value that Management believes a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds' investments, some of which are discussed below. At times, Management may need to apply significant judgment to value investments in accordance with ASC 820.
ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 – other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)
Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including a Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The value of the Funds’ investments in equity securities, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), for which market quotations are available, is generally determined by Management by obtaining
224

valuations from independent pricing services based on the latest sale price quoted on a principal exchange or market for that security (Level 1 inputs). Securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market are normally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") provided by NASDAQ each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., Eastern Time, unless that price is outside the range of the "inside" bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, NASDAQ will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer. Because of delays in reporting trades, the NOCP may not be based on the price of the last trade to occur before the market closes. If there is no sale of a security on a particular day, the independent pricing services may value the security based on market quotations.
The value of the Funds' investments in debt securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods that include various considerations based on security type (generally Level 2 inputs). In addition to the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions, the following is a description of other Level 2 inputs and related valuation techniques used by independent pricing services to value certain types of debt securities held by the Funds:
Corporate Bonds. Inputs used to value corporate debt securities generally include relevant credit information, observed market movements, sector news, U.S. Treasury yield curve or relevant benchmark curve, and other market information, which may include benchmark yield curves, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, comparable securities, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available ("Other Market Information").
Convertible Bonds. Inputs used to value convertible bonds generally include underlying stock data, conversion rates, credit-specific details, relevant listed bond and preferred stock prices and Other Market Information.
U.S. Treasury Obligations. Inputs used to value U.S. Treasury securities generally include quotes from several inter-dealer brokers and Other Market Information.
U.S. Government Agency Securities. Inputs used to value U.S. Government Agency securities generally include obtaining benchmark quotes and Other Market Information.
Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs). The value of collateralized loan obligations is primarily determined by cash flow data, relevant loan pricing data and market color, and research from market participants and trading desks (Level 2 or 3 inputs).
Asset-Backed Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities. Inputs used to value asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities generally include models that consider a number of factors, which may include the following: prepayment speeds, cash flows, spread adjustments and Other Market Information.
High Yield Securities. Inputs used to value high yield securities generally include a number of observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to the issuer and Other Market Information.
Municipal Debt Securities. Inputs used to value municipal debt securities include current trades, bid-wanted lists (which informs the market that a holder is interested in selling a position and that offers will be considered), offerings, general information on market movement, direction, trends, and specific data on specialty issues.
Emerging Markets Debt and Foreign Government Securities. Inputs used to value emerging markets debt and foreign government securities generally include dealer quotes, bond market activity, discounted cash flow models, and other relevant information such as credit spreads, benchmark curves and Other Market Information.
225

The value of loan assignments is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on broker quotes (generally Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available).
The value of futures contracts is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services at the settlement price at the market close (Level 1 inputs).
The value of bond forward contracts ("bond forwards") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using a model that considers the current price of the underlying bond and the forward curve (Level 2 inputs).
The value of interest rate swaps is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on references to the underlying rates including the local overnight index swap rate and the respective interbank offered forward rate to produce the daily price. The present value is calculated based off of expected cash flows based on swap parameters along with reference to the underlying yield curve and reference rate (Level 2 inputs).
The value of credit default swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using a model that considers a number of factors, which may include default probabilities, credit curves, recovery rates and cash flows (Level 2 inputs).
The value of inflation swaps is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on references to the underlying inflation rates including forward inflation expectation rate and the respective interbank offered forward rate to produce the daily price. The present value is calculated based off of expected cash flows based on swap parameters along with reference to the underlying forward inflation curve and reference rate (Level 2 inputs).
The value of forward foreign currency contracts ("forward FX contracts") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on actual traded currency rates on independent pricing services’ networks, along with other traded and quoted currency rates provided to the pricing services by leading market participants (Level 2 inputs).
The value of total return swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using the underlying asset and stated benchmark interest rate (Level 2 inputs).
Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.
Investments in non-exchange traded investment companies are valued using the respective fund’s daily calculated net asset value ("NAV") per share (Level 2 inputs), when available.
If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, Management seeks to obtain quotations from brokers or dealers (generally considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available). If such quotations are not available, the security is valued using methods Management has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated Management as the Funds' valuation designee. As the Funds' valuation designee, Management is responsible for determining fair value in good faith for all Fund investments. Inputs and assumptions considered in determining fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer and analysts; an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the inputs that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The value of the Funds’ investments in foreign securities is generally determined using the same valuation methods and inputs as other Fund investments, as discussed above. Foreign security prices expressed in
226

local currency values are normally translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on days the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business. Management has approved the use of ICE Data Services ("ICE") to evaluate the prices of foreign debt securities as of the time at which a Fund’s share price is calculated. ICE utilizes benchmark spread and yield curves and evaluates available market activity from the local close to the time as of which a Fund’s share price is calculated (Level 2 inputs) to assist in determining prices for certain foreign debt securities. In the absence of precise information about the market values of these foreign securities as of the time at which a Fund’s share price is calculated, Management has determined based on available data that prices adjusted or evaluated in this way are likely to be closer to the prices a Fund could realize on a current sale than the prices of those securities established at the close of the foreign markets in which the securities primarily trade.
Fair value prices are necessarily estimates, and there is no assurance that such a price will be at or close to the price at which the security is next quoted or traded.
3
Foreign currency translations: Core Bond, Emerging Markets Debt, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration and Strategic Income may invest in foreign securities denominated in foreign currencies. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are normally translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on days the NYSE is open for business, to determine the value of investments, other assets and liabilities. Purchase and sale prices of securities, and income and expenses, are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net unrealized foreign currency gain/(loss), if any, arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates and is stated separately in the Statements of Operations.
4
Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon as a Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations. Included in net realized gain/(loss) on investments are proceeds from the settlement of class action litigation(s) in which certain of the Funds participated as a class member. The amounts of such proceeds for the year ended October 31, 2023, was $5,277, $879,786, $462 and $130,929 for Core Bond, High Income, Short Duration and Strategic Income.
5
Income tax information: Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC") by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. To the extent a Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.
ASC 740 "Income Taxes" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired. Management has analyzed each Fund's tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years (the current and the prior three tax years) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund. The Funds may also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of their shares as a part of the dividends-paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Any permanent differences resulting from different book and tax treatment are reclassified at year-end and have no impact on net income, NAV or NAV per share of the Funds. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds recorded permanent reclassifications primarily related to prior year true up adjustments and distribution in excess of income. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

The temporary differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: losses disallowed and/or recognized on wash sales and straddles, timing differences of fund level distributions, mark-to-market adjustments on swaps, futures, forward FX contracts and options, amortization of bond premium, defaulted bond adjustments, amortization of organizational expenses and tax adjustments related to swap contracts and treasury inflation protection securities ("TIPS").
To the extent each Fund’s net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. Capital loss carryforward rules allow for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or
229

long-term. As determined at October 31, 2023, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset future net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:

Foreign taxes: Foreign taxes withheld, if any, represent amounts withheld by foreign tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.
Foreign capital gains on certain foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income accrue capital gains tax on unrealized and realized gains for certain securities. At October 31, 2023, Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income had accrued capital gains taxes of $5,812 and $1,622, respectively, which is reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended October 31, 2023, Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income had realized capital gains taxes of $10,700 and $8,554, respectively, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations.
As a result of several European Court of Justice ("ECJ") court cases in certain countries across the European Union ("EU"), certain of the Funds that invest in foreign securities may file tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries ("ECJ tax reclaims"). These additional filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by the local jurisdictions’ tax authorities within the EU, as well as a number of related judicial proceedings. When the ECJ tax reclaim is "more likely than not" to not be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities due to the uncertainty that exists as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these ECJ tax reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Income recognized, if any, for ECJ tax reclaims would be included in "Interest and other income—unaffiliated issuers" in the Statements of Operations and the cost to file these additional ECJ tax reclaims, if any, would be included in "Miscellaneous and other fees" in the Statements of Operations.
7
Distributions to shareholders: Each Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. Ordinarily, distributions from net investment income are declared on each business day and paid monthly, and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed once a year (usually in December). Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date.
8
Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds within the complex of related investment companies. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributable to a particular series of the Trust (e.g., a Fund) are allocated among the series of the Trust, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the series can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which NBIA serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributable to a particular investment company in the complex (e.g., the Trust) or series thereof are allocated among the investment companies in the complex or series thereof on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly. Each Fund’s expenses (other than those specific to each class) are allocated proportionally each day among its classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
230

9
Investments in foreign securities: Investing in foreign securities may involve sovereign and other risks, in addition to the credit and market risks normally associated with domestic securities. These additional risks include the possibility of adverse political and economic developments (including political instability, nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation) and the potentially adverse effects of unavailability of public information regarding issuers, less governmental supervision and regulation of financial markets, reduced liquidity of certain financial markets, and the lack of uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards or the application of standards that are different or less stringent than those applied in the United States. Foreign securities also may experience greater price volatility, higher rates of inflation, and delays in settlement.
10
When-issued/delayed delivery securities: Each Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time a Fund enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the NAV. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to a Fund until payment takes place. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions can have a leverage-like effect on a Fund, which can increase fluctuations in the Fund’s NAV. Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.
Each Fund may also enter into a TBA (To Be Announced) agreement and "roll over" such agreement prior to the settlement date by selling the obligation to purchase the pools set forth in the agreement and entering into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage-backed securities. TBA mortgage-backed securities may increase prepayment risks because the underlying mortgages may be less favorable than anticipated by a Fund.
11
Derivative instruments: Certain Funds' use of derivatives during the year ended October 31, 2023, is described below. Please see the Schedule of Investments for each Fund's open positions in derivatives, if any, at October 31, 2023. The disclosure requirements of ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815") distinguish between derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and those that do not. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, even though a Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.
Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act regulates the use of derivatives for certain funds registered under the 1940 Act ("Rule 18f-4"). Unless a Fund qualifies as a "limited derivatives user" as defined in Rule 18f-4, the Fund is subject to a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, is required to comply with certain value-at-risk based leverage limits and is required to provide additional disclosure both publicly and to the SEC regarding its derivatives positions. If a Fund qualifies as a limited derivatives user, Rule 18f-4 requires the Fund to have policies and procedures to manage its aggregate derivatives risk.
Futures contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2023, Core Bond used futures to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund, including to adjust the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund’s portfolio. During year ended October 31, 2023, Emerging Markets Debt and Short Duration each used futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device. During year ended October 31, 2023, Strategic Income used futures to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets, currencies or securities, to adjust the duration of the Fund’s portfolio and to enhance total return.
Futures contracts may include certain options on exchange-traded futures contracts. At the time a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with the futures commission merchant a specified amount of cash or liquid securities, known as "initial margin," which is a percentage of the value of the futures contract being traded that is set by the exchange upon which the futures contract is traded. Each day, the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the board of trade or U.S. commodity
231

exchange on which such futures contract is traded. Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin," to and from the broker are made on a daily basis, or as needed, as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses.
Although some futures by their terms call for actual delivery or acquisition of the underlying securities or currency, in most cases the contracts are closed out prior to delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching futures. When the contracts are closed or expire, a Fund recognizes a gain or loss. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility there may be an illiquid market, possibly at a time of rapidly declining prices, and/or a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Futures executed on regulated futures exchanges have minimal counterparty risk to a Fund because the exchange’s clearinghouse assumes the position of the counterparty in each transaction. Thus, a Fund is exposed to risk only in connection with the clearinghouse and not in connection with the original counterparty to the transaction.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the futures transactions undertaken by a Fund may cause the Fund to recognize gains or losses from marking contracts to market even though its positions have not been sold or terminated, may affect the character of the gains or losses recognized as long-term or short-term, and may affect the timing of some capital gains and losses realized by the Fund. Also, a Fund’s losses on transactions involving futures contracts may be deferred rather than being taken into account currently in calculating such Fund’s taxable income.
Bond forward contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2023, Strategic Income used bond forward contracts to obtain economic exposure in the Fund to certain markets and securities. A bond forward is a contractual agreement between a Fund and another party to buy or sell an underlying asset at an agreed-upon future price and date. In a bond forward transaction, no cash premium is paid when the parties enter into the bond forward. If the transaction is collateralized, an exchange of margin collateral will take place according to an agreed-upon schedule. Otherwise, no asset of any kind changes hands until the bond forward matures (typically in 30 days) or is rolled over for another agreed-upon period. Generally, the value of the bond forward will change based on changes in the value of the underlying asset. Bond forwards are subject to market risk (the risk that the market value of the underlying bond may change), non-correlation risk (the risk that the market value of the bond forward might move independently of the market value of the underlying bond) and counterparty credit risk (the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its obligation under the contract). If there is no cash exchanged at the time a Fund enters into the bond forward, counterparty risk may be limited to the loss of any marked-to-market profit on the contract and any delays or limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell or otherwise use the investments posted as collateral for the bond forward.
Forward foreign currency contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2023, Emerging Markets Debt used forward FX contracts to manage or adjust views on foreign exchange rate movements and currency exposure, to apply foreign exchange leverage or reduce foreign currency risk, and to gain exposure to markets where the portfolio managers believe these instruments provide better liquidity and value than bonds. During the year ended October 31, 2023, Strategic Income used forward FX contracts to manage or adjust the risk profile for foreign currency exposures in the Fund, to obtain or reduce economic exposure, to establish net short or long positions for markets or securities and to enhance total return.
A forward FX contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific currency for another at a set price on a future date, and is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. The market value of a forward FX contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward FX contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. At the consummation of a forward FX contract to purchase or sell currency, a Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of the forward FX contract or enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward FX contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward FX contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward FX contract. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing
232

a contract is included in "Net realized gain/(loss) on settlement of forward foreign currency contracts" in the Statements of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and the risk the counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligation.
Credit default swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2023, Emerging Markets Debt used credit default swaps to manage or adjust credit risk of the Fund, to take advantage of the portfolio managers’ views on credit risk and market pricing of credit events and in an effort to leverage or reduce risk exposures by selling or buying protection. During the year ended October 31, 2023, Strategic Income used credit default swaps for economic hedging purposes, to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets or securities and to enhance total return. When a Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, it is entitled to receive the notional amount of the swap from the counterparty if a credit event occurs. In return, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund would have spent the stream of payments and received no proceeds from the contract. When a Fund is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make (or the risk of loss) would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Fund may add economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract are accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and are recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation of swaps. For over-the-counter ("OTC") credit default swaps, cash settlement in and out of the swaps may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments/(receipts), if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) and net interest receivable or payable on swap contracts to determine the fair value of swaps.
Interest rate/Inflation swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2023, Emerging Markets Debt used interest rate swaps to manage or adjust interest rate risk of the Fund, to take advantage of the portfolio managers’ views on interest rates and market pricing of future monetary policy, to obtain exposure on a maturity horizon where bonds are illiquid or are unavailable, and to obtain leveraged or reduced rate positions. During the year ended October 31, 2023, Strategic Income used interest rate swaps and inflation swaps for economic hedging purposes, to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets or securities and to enhance total return. Under the terms of interest rate/inflation swaps, the Fund agrees to pay the swap counterparty a fixed-rate payment in exchange for the counterparty’s paying the Fund a variable-rate payment, or the Fund agrees to pay the swap counterparty a variable-rate payment in exchange for the counterparty’s paying the Fund a fixed-rate payment. The fixed-rate and variable-rate payment flows are paid by one party to the other on a periodic basis and netted against each other when applicable. There is no guarantee that these interest rate/inflation swap transactions will be successful in reducing or limiting risk.
Risks may arise if the counterparty to an interest rate/inflation swap contract fails to comply with the terms of its contract. The loss incurred due to the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest
233

payment to be received by the Fund and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Additionally, risks may arise if there is no liquid market for these agreements or from movements in interest rates unanticipated by Management.
Periodic expected interim net interest payments or receipts on the swaps are recorded as an adjustment to unrealized gains/losses, along with the fair value of the future periodic payment or receivable streams on the swaps. The unrealized gains/losses associated with the periodic interim net interest payments or receipts are reclassified to realized gains/losses in conjunction with the actual net payment or receipt of such amounts. For OTC interest rate/inflation swaps, cash settlement in and out of the swaps may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty. The reclassifications do not impact the Fund’s total net assets or its total net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations.
Centrally cleared swap contracts: Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivative transactions. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty that is then cleared through a central clearinghouse. Upon acceptance of a swap by a central clearinghouse, the original swap is extinguished and replaced with a swap with the clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund’s exposure to the credit risk of the original counterparty. A Fund typically will be required to post specified levels of both initial and variation margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse. The daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the central clearing party. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation and net interest receivable or payable on swap contracts to determine the fair value of swaps.
Total return swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2023, High Income used total return swaps to enhance liquidity while maintaining exposure to the asset class. During the year ended October 31, 2023, Short Duration used total return swaps for hedging purposes, liquidity management and to manage and adjust the risk profile of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2023, Strategic Income used total return swaps for economic hedging purposes, to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets or securities and to enhance total return. Total return swaps involve commitments to pay fixed or floating rate interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the reference security or index underlying the total return swap exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Certain risks may arise when entering into total return swap transactions, including counterparty default, liquidity or unfavorable changes in the value of the underlying reference security or index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made at the end of each measurement period are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. For OTC total return swaps, cash settlement in and out of the swaps may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty.
Options: During the year ended October 31, 2023, Strategic Income used options purchased and options written for economic hedging purposes, to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets or securities and to enhance total return.
Premiums paid by a Fund upon purchasing a call or put option are recorded in the asset section of the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, a Fund realizes a gain or loss and the asset is eliminated. For purchased call options, a Fund’s loss is limited to the amount of the option premium paid.
234

Premiums received by a Fund upon writing a call option or a put option are recorded in the liability section of the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, a Fund realizes a gain or loss and the liability is eliminated.
When writing a covered call option, a Fund, in return for the premium, gives up the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the underlying security above the exercise price, but conversely retains the risk of loss should the price of the security decline. When writing a put option, a Fund, in return for the premium, takes the risk that it must purchase the underlying security at a price that may be higher than the current market price of the security. If a call or put option that a Fund has written expires unexercised a Fund will realize a gain for the amount of the premium. All securities covering outstanding written options are held in escrow by the custodian bank.

Securities lending: Each Fund, using State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its lending agent, may loan securities to qualified brokers and dealers in exchange for negotiated lender’s fees. These fees, if any, would be disclosed within the Statements of Operations under the caption "Income from securities loaned-net" and are net of expenses retained by State Street as compensation for its services as lending agent.
The initial collateral received by a Fund at the beginning of each transaction shall have a value equal to at least 102% of the prior day’s market value of the loaned securities (105% in the case of international securities). Collateral in the form of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities, is maintained at all times. Thereafter, the value of the collateral is monitored on a daily basis, and collateral is moved daily between a counterparty and a Fund until the close of the transaction. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of State Street and is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Investments in securities, at value—Unaffiliated issuers". The total value of securities received as collateral for securities on loan is included in a footnote following the applicable Schedule of Investments, but is not included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities because the receiving Fund does not have the right to sell or repledge the securities received as collateral. The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities loaned and any interest earned or dividends paid or owed on those securities during the term of the loan would accrue to that Fund.
During the year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not participate in securities lending.
13
Offsetting assets and liabilities: The Funds are required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to OTC derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowing transactions that are eligible for offset or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income held one or more of these investments at October 31, 2023. The Funds' OTC derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type are reported gross in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting or similar agreement and net of the related collateral received by a Fund for assets and pledged by a Fund for liabilities as of October 31, 2023.

Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Trust’s organizational documents provide that its officers ("Officers") and trustees ("Trustees") are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust or a Fund.
15
Investment in other funds managed by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC: Through October 31, 2023, Strategic Income invested in Neuberger Berman Global Monthly Income Fund Ltd. (the "Underlying Fund") via a secondary market transaction (See Note F).
For Strategic Income’s investment in the Underlying Fund, NBIA waived a portion of its management fee equal to the management fee it received from the Underlying Fund on those assets (the "Arrangement"). For the year ended October 31, 2023, management fees waived under this Arrangement are reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Investment management fees waived." For the year ended October 31, 2023, income earned from the Underlying Fund on Strategic Income’s investments is
239

reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Dividend income-affiliated issuers". For the year ended October 31, 2023, management fees waived under this Arrangement and distributions from income and capital gains received from Strategic Income’s investments in the Underlying Fund were as follows:

Investment company securities and exchange-traded funds: The Funds may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, including ETFs, within the limitations prescribed by the 1940 Act, in reliance on rules adopted by the SEC, particularly Rule 12d1-4 or any other applicable exemptive relief. Rule 12d1-4 permits fund of funds arrangements, and includes (i) limits on control and voting; (ii) required evaluations and findings; (iii) required fund of funds investment agreements; and (iv) limits on complex structures. Shareholders of a Fund will indirectly bear their proportionate share of any management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the management fees and expenses of the Fund.

Each Fund retains NBIA as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. The administration fee is assessed at the class level and each share class of a Fund, as applicable, pays NBIA an annual administration fee equal to the following: 0.27% for each of Investor Class, Class A, Class C and Class R3; 0.50% for Trust Class of Short Duration; 0.40% for Trust Class of Strategic Income; 0.15% for Institutional Class; and 0.05% for Class R6, each as a percentage of its average daily net assets. Class E shares do not pay an administration fee. Additionally, NBIA retains State Street as its sub-administrator under a
241

Sub-Administration Agreement. NBIA pays State Street a fee for all services received under the Sub-Administration Agreement.
NBIA has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Investor Class, Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R6 of each Fund that offers those classes so that the total annual operating expenses of those classes do not exceed the expense limitations as detailed in the following table. These undertakings exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, if any (commitment fees relating to borrowings are treated as interest for purposes of this exclusion) ("annual operating expenses"); consequently, net expenses may exceed the contractual expense limitations.
At October 31, 2023, the Funds' contingent liabilities to NBIA under the agreements were as follows:

Effective December 15, 2023, in addition to the contractual undertaking described above for Short
Duration, NBIA has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses so that their
Operating Expenses, per annum of their respective average daily net assets, are limited to 0.46% for Class A
and Class C. NBIA may, at its sole discretion, modify or terminate the voluntary waiver and/or
reimbursement without notice to the Fund. Fees voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed are not subject to
recovery by NBIA.
Each Fund has agreed that each of its respective classes will repay NBIA for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for that class provided that repayment does not cause that class’s annual operating expenses to exceed its contractual expense limitation in place at the time the fees and expenses were waived or reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays NBIA, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which NBIA incurred the expense.
During the year ended October 31, 2023, there was no repayment to NBIA under these agreements.
Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL"), as the sub-adviser to Emerging Markets Debt, is retained by NBIA to choose the Fund’s investments and handle its day-to-day business for the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to it by NBIA, and receives a monthly fee paid by NBIA. As investment manager, NBIA is responsible for overseeing the investment activities of NBEL. Several individuals who are Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of NBEL and/or NBIA.
Each Fund also has a distribution agreement with Neuberger Berman BD LLC (the "Distributor") with respect to each class of shares. The Distributor acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without sales commission or other compensation, except as described below, and bears the advertising and promotion expenses.
However, the Distributor receives fees from Core Bond’s Investor Class, Strategic Income’s Trust Class, High Income’s Class R3, and each Fund’s Class A and Class C under their distribution plans (each a "Plan", collectively, the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans provide that, as compensation for administrative and other services provided to these classes, the Distributor’s activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, the Distributor receives from each of these respective classes a fee at the annual rate of
243

0.25% of Core Bond Investor Class’, and each Fund's Class A's average daily net assets; 0.10% of Strategic Income Trust Class’ average daily net assets; 0.50% of High Income Class R3’s average daily net assets; and 1.00% of each Fund's Class C's average daily net assets. The Distributor receives this amount to provide distribution and shareholder servicing for these classes and pays a portion of it to institutions that provide such services. Those institutions may use the payments for, among other purposes, compensating employees engaged in sales and/or shareholder servicing. The amount of fees paid by each class during any year may be more or less than the cost of distribution and other services provided to that class. FINRA rules limit the amount of annual distribution fees that may be paid by a mutual fund and impose a ceiling on the cumulative distribution fees paid. The Trust’s Plans comply with those rules.

Note E—Line of Credit:
At October 31, 2023, each Fund was a participant in a syndicated committed, unsecured $700,000,000 line of credit (the "Credit Facility"), to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. Series of other investment companies managed by NBIA also participate in this line of credit on substantially the same terms. Interest is charged on borrowings under the Credit Facility at the highest of (a) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.00% per annum, (b) a daily simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.10% per annum, or (c) an overnight bank funding rate plus 1.00% per annum. The Credit Facility has an annual commitment fee of 0.15% per annum of the available line of credit, which is paid quarterly. Each Fund that is a participant has agreed to pay its pro rata share of the annual commitment fee, based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the net assets of all participants at the time the fee is due, and interest charged on any borrowing made by such Fund and other costs incurred by such Fund. Because several funds participate in the Credit Facility, there is no assurance that an individual fund will have access to all or any part of the $700,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility at October 31, 2023. During the year ended October 31, 2023, none of the Funds utilized the Credit Facility.

Note G—Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions" ("ASU 2022-03"). ASU 2022-03 clarifies the guidance in ASC 820, related to the measurement of the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions, where it eliminates the ability to apply a discount to the fair value of these securities, and introduces disclosure requirements related to such equity securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, and allows for early adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this update.
In December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" ("ASU 2022-06"), which is an update to Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" ("ASU 2021-01") and defers the sunset date for applying the reference rate reform relief in Topic 848. ASU 2021-01 is an update of ASU 2020-04, which is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR. Regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU 2021-01 update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this update are effective immediately through December 31, 2024, for all entities. Management is currently evaluating the implications, if any, of the additional requirements and its impact on the Funds' financial statements.
Note H—Subsequent Event:
On December 14, 2023, the Board approved the conversion of Short Duration to a newly organized series of Neuberger Berman ETF Trust. It is anticipated that the conversion will be effected through the reorganization of Short Duration into an ETF. After the conversion, shareholders of Short Duration will hold shares of the new ETF instead of shares of their respective Funds. Prior to the conversion, existing shareholders of Short Duration will receive a combined information statement/prospectus describing in detail both the conversion and the respective ETF involved in the conversion.

Notes to Financial Highlights Income Funds 
a
Calculated based on the average number of shares outstanding during each fiscal period.
b
Total return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV on the performance of each
Fund during each fiscal period. Returns assume income dividends and other distributions, if any, were
reinvested, but do not reflect the effect of sales charges. Results represent past performance and do not
indicate future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Investment returns and principal will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than
original cost. Total return would have been lower if Management had not reimbursed and/or waived certain
expenses. Total return would have been higher if Management had not recouped previously reimbursed
and/or waived expenses.
c
Represents the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets if Management had not
reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fee.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
266

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and others; when replies were not received from other brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Neuberger Berman investment companies since 1954.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures
A description of the policies and procedures that the Trust uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available, without charge, by calling 800-877-9700 (toll-free) and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how the Trust voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is also available upon request, without charge, by calling 800-877-9700 (toll-free), on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and on Neuberger Berman’s website at www.nb.com.
Quarterly Portfolio Schedule
The Trust files a complete schedule of portfolio holdings for each Fund with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its report on Form N-PORT. The Trust’s Form N-PORT is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The portfolio holdings information on Form N-PORT is available upon request, without charge, by calling 800-877-9700 (toll-free).
Liquidity Risk Management Program
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Liquidity Rule"), as amended, the Funds have established a liquidity risk management program (the "Program"). The Program seeks to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, which is defined as the risk that a Fund is unable to meet investor redemption requests without significantly diluting the remaining investors' interests in a Fund. The Board has approved the designation of NBIA Funds' Liquidity Committee, comprised of NBIA employees, as the program administrator (the "Program Administrator"). The Program Administrator is responsible for implementing and monitoring the Program and utilizes NBIA personnel to assess and review, on an ongoing basis, the Funds' liquidity risk.
The Program includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of the Funds' liquidity risk factors and the periodic classification (or re-classification, as necessary) of the Funds’ investments into buckets (highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid and illiquid) that reflect the Program Administrator's assessment of the investments' liquidity under current market conditions, which for the relevant period included, among other factors, market volatility as a result of geopolitical tensions (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine) and rising inflation. The Program Administrator also utilizes information about the Funds’ investment strategy, the characteristics of the Funds’ shareholder base and historical redemption activity.
The Program Administrator provided the Board with a written report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023. During the period covered by this report, the Program Administrator reported that the Program effectively assisted the Program Administrator in monitoring whether a Fund maintained a level of liquidity appropriate for its shareholder base and historical redemption activity.
279

Board Consideration of the Management Agreements
On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") of Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or of Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreements with Management (the "Management Agreements") with respect to each series (each a "Fund") and the sub-advisory agreements between Management and Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreements" and collectively with the Management Agreement, the "Agreements") with respect to Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund. Throughout the process, the Independent Fund Trustees are advised by counsel that is experienced in 1940 Act matters and that is independent of Management ("Independent Counsel"). At a meeting held on October 5, 2023, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreements for each Fund.  In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each Fund and its shareholders; (ii) a comparison of each Fund’s performance, fees and expenses relative to various peers; (iii) the costs of the services provided by, and the estimated profit or loss by Management from its relationships with each Fund; (iv) any apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to each Fund and whether any such economies of scale are shared with Fund shareholders; and (v) any "fall-out" benefits likely to accrue to Management and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. 
In evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed extensive materials provided by Management and NBEL in response to questions submitted by the Independent Fund Trustees and Independent Counsel, and by Management (for NBEL), which the Contract Review Committee annually considers and updates.  It also met with senior representatives of Management regarding its personnel, operations, and profitability as they relate to the Funds.  The annual contract review extends over at least two regular meetings of the Board to ensure that Management and NBEL have time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Trustees may have on their initial review of the materials and that the Independent Fund Trustees have time to consider those responses.
In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered the broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year. The Board established the Contract Review Committee, which is comprised solely of Independent Fund Trustees, to assist in its evaluation and analysis of materials for the annual contract review.  The Board has also established other committees that focus throughout the year on specific areas relevant to the annual contract review, such as Fund performance or compliance matters, and that are charged with specific responsibilities regarding the annual contract review.  Those committees provide reports to the full Board, including the members of the Contract Review Committee, which consider that information as part of the annual contract review process.
The Independent Fund Trustees received from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Contract Review Committee and the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management and NBEL.
Provided below is a description of the Board’s contract approval process and material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding renewals of the Agreements and the compensation to be paid thereunder. In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreements, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to each Fund, and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of each respective Fund and its shareholders. The Board’s determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board
280

throughout the year and specifically in connection with the annual contract review. The Board considered each Fund’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements separately from those of the other Funds.
This description is not intended to include all of the factors considered by the Board. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services
With respect to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of, and the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management  and NBEL who perform services for the Funds. The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting, compliance, and shareholder support services. The Board also considered Management’s and NBEL’s policies and practices regarding trade execution, transaction costs, and allocation of portfolio transactions and reviewed the quality of the execution services that Management had provided. Moreover, the Board considered Management’s approach to potential conflicts of interest both generally and between the Funds’ investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by Management or NBEL. 
The Board recognized the extensive range of services that Management provides to the Funds beyond the investment management services. The Board noted that Management is also responsible for monitoring compliance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions, as well as compliance with applicable law, including implementing rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board considered that Management assumes significant ongoing entrepreneurial and business risks as the investment adviser and sponsor for the Funds, for which it is entitled to reasonable compensation. The Trustees also considered that Management’s responsibilities include continual management of investment, operational, cybersecurity, enterprise, valuation, liquidity, legal, regulatory, and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and the Board considers on a regular basis information regarding Management’s processes for monitoring and managing risk. In addition, the Board also noted that when Management launches a new fund or share class, it assumes entrepreneurial risk with respect to that fund or share class, until it maintains a certain level of assets, if ever, that is profitable to Management. 
The Board also reviewed and evaluated Management’s activities under its contractual obligation to oversee the Funds’ various outside service providers, including its renegotiation of certain service providers’ fees and its evaluation of service providers’ infrastructure, cybersecurity programs, compliance programs, and business continuity programs, among other matters. The Board also considered Management’s ongoing development of its own infrastructure and information technology to support the Funds through, among other things, cybersecurity, business continuity planning, and risk management.  In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management and NBEL, as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to either firm. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio managers’ compensation and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds. The Board also considered the ability of Management and NBEL to attract and retain qualified personnel to service the Funds and the plan for succession.
As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it. In addition, the Board considered actions taken by Management and NBEL in response to market conditions over the past year and considered the overall performance of Management and NBEL in this context.
281

Fund Performance
The Board requested a report from an outside consulting firm that specializes in the analysis of fund industry data that compared each Fund’s performance, along with its fees and other expenses, to various peers, including a group of industry peers ("Expense Group") and to a broader universe of funds pursuing generally similar strategies with the same investment classification and/or objective ("Performance Universe"). The Board considered each Fund’s performance and fees in light of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing such comparative groups and determining which investment companies should be included in the comparative groups, noting differences as compared to certain fund industry ranking and rating systems.
With respect to investment performance, the Board considered information regarding each Fund’s short-, intermediate- and long-term performance, as applicable, net of the Fund’s fees and expenses, on an absolute basis, relative to a benchmark index that does not deduct the fees or expenses of investing, and compared to the performance of its Expense Group and Performance Universe, each constructed by the consulting firm. The Board also reviewed performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers.
In the case of underperformance for any of the periods reported, the Board considered the magnitude and duration of that underperformance relative to the Performance Universe and/or the benchmark (e.g., the amount by which a Fund underperformed, including, for example, whether the Fund slightly underperformed or significantly underperformed its benchmark). For those Funds that the Board identified as having underperformed their benchmark indices, Expense Group, and/or Performance Universe to an extent, or over a period of time, that the Board felt warranted additional inquiry, the Board discussed with Management each such Fund’s performance, potential reasons for the relative performance, and, if necessary, steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance. The Board also met with the portfolio managers of certain Funds during the 12 months prior to voting on the contract renewal to discuss the Funds’ performance. The Board also considered Management’s responsiveness with respect to the relative performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results. The Board further acknowledged that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance. In this regard, the Board noted that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of the Agreements and that, after considering all relevant factors, it determined to approve the continuation of the Agreements notwithstanding a Fund’s relative performance.
Fee Rates, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreements as compared to the Expense Group provided by the consulting firm, as discussed above. The Board reviewed a comparison of each Fund’s management fee to its Expense Group. The Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in each Fund’s management fee, the separate administrative fees paid to Management. However, the Board noted that some funds in the Expense Group pay directly from fund assets for certain services that Management covers out of the administration fees for the Funds. Accordingly, the Board also considered each Fund’s total expense ratio as compared with its Expense Group as a way of taking account of these differences. 
The Board compared each Fund’s contractual and actual management fees to the median of the contractual and actual management fees, respectively, of that Fund’s Expense Group. (The actual management fees are the contractual management fees reduced by any fee waivers or other adjustments.) The Board also compared each Fund’s total expenses to the median of the total expenses of that Fund’s Expense Group. Where a Fund’s management fee or total expenses were higher than the Expense Group median, the Board considered whether specific portfolio management, administration or oversight needs contributed to the Fund’s management fee or total expenses.  The Board also noted that for some classes of certain Funds, the overall expense ratio is
282

maintained through a contractual or voluntary fee cap and/or expense reimbursements by Management. The Board also considered the extent to which Management currently waives management fees and/or reimburses any Fund for other Fund-level expenses at different rates for different share classes and the process for monitoring the use of such waivers to guard against any such waiver resulting in any cross-subsidization by one share class of another share class.
In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates, including NBEL, by virtue of their relationship with each Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to that Fund, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management’s estimated profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. (The Board also reviewed data on Management’s estimated profit or loss on each Fund after distribution expenses and taxes were factored in, as indicators of the health of the business and the extent to which Management is directing its profits into the growth of the business.) 
The Board considered the consistent cost allocation methodology that Management used in developing its estimated profitability figures. In addition, the Board engaged an independent forensic accountant to review the profitability methodology utilized by Management when preparing this information and discussed with the consultant its conclusion that Management’s process for calculating and reporting its estimated profit or loss aligned with the consultant’s guiding principles and industry practices. 
The Board further noted Management’s representation that its estimate of profitability is derived using methodology that is consistent with the methodology used to assess and/or report measures of profitability elsewhere at the firm. In addition, the Board recognized that Management’s calculations regarding its costs may not reflect all risks, including regulatory, legal, operational, cybersecurity, reputational, and, where appropriate, entrepreneurial risks, associated with offering and managing a mutual fund in the current regulatory and market environment. The Board also considered any fall-out (i.e., indirect) benefits likely to accrue to Management or its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. The Board recognized that Management and its affiliates should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services they provide to each Fund and, based on its review, concluded that Management’s reported level of estimated profitability, if any, on each Fund was reasonable.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board also considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with investment objectives, policies, and strategies that were similar to those of any of the Funds. In the cases where such funds or separate accounts exist, the Board compared the fees charged to the respective Fund to the fees charged to such comparable funds and/or separate accounts. The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to a Fund and such comparable funds and/or separate accounts, and determined that differences in fees and fee structures were consistent with the differences in the management and other services provided. The Board explored with Management its assertion that although, generally, the rates of fees paid by such accounts, except other Neuberger Berman mutual funds, were lower than the fee rates paid by the corresponding Funds, the differences reflected Management’s greater level of responsibilities and significantly broader scope of services to the Funds, the more extensive regulatory obligations and risks associated with managing the Funds, and other financial considerations with respect to creation and sponsorship of the Funds.
Economies of Scale
The Board also evaluated apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to each Fund. The Board considered whether each Fund’s fee structure provides for a reduction of payments resulting from the use of breakpoints, the size of any breakpoints in each Fund’s advisory fees, and whether any such breakpoints are set at appropriate asset levels. The Board also compared the breakpoint structure to that of the Expense Group. In addition, the Board considered the expense limitation and/or fee waiver
283

arrangements that reduce many Funds’ expenses at some or all asset levels, which can have an effect similar to breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if a Fund’s assets decline.
The Trustees took into account that certain Funds do not have breakpoints in their fees. As to those Funds whose advisory fees do not have breakpoints, the Board discussed with Management the reasons why the Fund’s particular investment program was less likely than others to produce economies of scale. In addition, for Funds that do not have breakpoints, the Board considered that setting competitive fee rates and pricing a Fund to scale before it has actually experienced an increase in assets are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders.  The Board also considered that Management has provided, at no added cost to the Funds, certain additional services, including but not limited to, services required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, services impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape, and/or services requested by the Board. The Board considered that this is a way of sharing economies of scale with the Funds and their shareholders.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
With regard to the investment performance of each Fund and the fees charged to each Fund, the Board considered the following information. The Performance Universes referenced in this section are those identified by the consulting firm, as discussed above, and the risk/return ratios referenced are the Sharpe ratios provided by the consulting firm. With respect to performance quintile rankings for a Fund compared to its Performance Universe, the first quintile represents the highest (best) performance and the fifth quintile represents the lowest performance.

Conclusions
In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable to each Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and NBEL, with respect to Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund, could be expected to continue to provide a high level of service to each Fund; that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory over time, or, in the case of a Fund that underperformed relative to its Expense Group or Performance Universe, that the Board retained confidence in Management’s and NBEL’s, with respect to Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund, capabilities to manage each Fund; that each Fund’s fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent, and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund. The Board’s conclusions are based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual review of the Agreements.
