C000116153 Investment Objective and Strategy

Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Neuberger Berman Income Funds.

Investment objective

The Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with capital preservation.

Principal investment strategy

To pursue its goal, the Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated, below investment grade debt securities (commonly called junk bonds) and floating rate senior secured loans, including participation interests in loans, issued by U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships, and other business entities (High Yield Securities). For purposes of this Fund, High Yield Securities are generally defined as those debt securities and loans that, at the time of investment, are rated below the lowest investment grade category (BBB- by Standard & Poors (S&P), Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), or comparably rated by at least one independent credit rating agency) or, if unrated, determined by the Portfolio Managers to be of comparable quality.

The Fund may also invest in restricted securities. Although it may invest in securities of any maturity, the Fund normally seeks to maintain a weighted average portfolio duration of three years or less. The Fund endeavors to manage credit risk and minimize interest rate risk through disciplined credit analysis and emphasis on short-term and intermediate-term maturities. The Fund intends to focus, among other things, on issuer cash flows, management and sources of repayment and decrease exposure to securities with deteriorating fundamentals and financials. The Fund invests its assets in a broad range of issuers and industries. The Fund does not normally invest in or continue to hold securities that are in default or have defaulted with respect to the payment of interest or repayment of principal, but may do so depending on market or other conditions.

In an effort to achieve its goal, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading. The Fund is suitable for investors who seek current income with capital preservation and who are comfortable with the risks associated with investing in a portfolio made up mainly of short duration High Yield Securities. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in High Yield Securities (as defined above) and other investment companies that provide investment exposure to such securities. The Fund will not alter this policy without providing shareholders at least 60 days notice. This test is applied at the time the Fund invests; later percentage changes caused by a change in Fund assets, market values or company circumstances will not require the Fund to dispose of a holding.
