Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this semi-annual shareholder report for the Neuberger Berman Income Funds.
Despite expectations that the U.S. economy would continue to grow at a solid pace, it significantly moderated as the reporting period progressed (e.g., economic output declined 0.7% in the first quarter of 2015). This was partially attributed to transitory effects, including severe winter weather in parts of the country. This, coupled with signs of slower global growth and numerous geopolitical issues, sparked several flights to quality and declining intermediate- and long-term Treasury yields. In other news, while the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) concluded its asset purchase program shortly before the beginning of the reporting period, it appeared to push back the predicted timetable of its first interest rate hike.
All told, the overall bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 2.06% during the six months ended April 30, 2015. Most non-Treasury securities produced positive returns, albeit delivering mixed results versus equal-duration Treasuries. Among the best absolute performers were longer-term government and credit securities.
Looking ahead, we believe the U.S. economy will strengthen as the year progresses. However, we think the expansion should be far from robust and unlikely to trigger a sharp uptick in inflation. This scenario, along with ongoing slack in the global economy, leads us to believe the Fed's initial rate hike will not occur until later in the year. Furthermore, we believe the Fed will take a cautious and measured approach in terms of monetary tightening after interest rate "lift off" begins.
We believe our fixed income funds are appropriately positioned given our outlook for global growth and monetary policy in the U.S. and abroad. We anticipate maintaining overweight positions in non-Treasuries relative to the funds' benchmarks. We also have a generally positive outlook for the municipal market. As always, we will actively manage our fixed income funds and adjust their portfolios as we feel appropriate given changing economic and investment conditions.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.
Sincerely,
ROBERT CONTI
PRESIDENT AND CEO

Core Bond Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a 1.89% total return for the six months ended April 30, 2015 but underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which provided a 2.06% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite several setbacks, the overall fixed income market posted a positive return over the six-month period. Short-term Treasury yields moved higher as the market anticipated a U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike in 2015. In contrast, longer-term rates declined given a number of flights to quality triggered by geopolitical issues and concerns over global growth. The yield on the 10-year Treasury began the period at 2.34% and fell as low as 1.64% in late January 2015, before ending the period at 2.03%. Most non-Treasury securities produced positive returns, but generated mixed results versus equal-duration Treasuries during the reporting period.
The Fund's underperformance was largely driven by its defensive duration position. Given our belief that rates would move somewhat higher, we maintained a duration that was shorter than the benchmark. This was not rewarded as intermediate- and longer-term rates declined during the period.
On the upside, the Fund's allocation to non-Treasury securities was modestly additive to results. The Fund's exposures to investment grade corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities also contributed positively to performance. Additionally, our positioning among global developed market sovereigns was beneficial for returns.
There were no significant changes made to the portfolio during the reporting period. That being said, we did make several tactical adjustments to our positioning in global developed market sovereigns. In particular, toward the end of the period we reduced the Fund's overweight to certain peripheral European countries to capture profits.
Looking ahead, we believe that the decision as to when the Fed will start raising interest rates will be data dependent. Thus far in 2015, economic data has been generally muted and inflation has remained benign. While oil prices have fallen sharply since their peak in June 2014, this has yet to equate to a meaningful increase in consumer spending. While we believe growth in the U.S. could gain some traction as the year progresses, we do not anticipate seeing a robust expansion. In such an environment, we believe inflation should remain contained. Against this backdrop, we currently plan to maintain our strategy of overweighting non-Treasury securities, as we believe it is appropriate for long-term investors.
Sincerely,
THANOS BARDAS, DAVID M. BROWN, ANDREW A. JOHNSON, THOMAS J. MARTHALER AND BRADLEY C. TANK

Floating Rate Income Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund Class A at NAV generated a 2.32% total return for the six months ended April 30, 2015 and outperformed its benchmark, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, which provided a 2.28% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The senior floating rate bank loan market posted a positive return during the reporting period and outperformed equal-duration Treasuries. Supporting the market were overall solid fundamentals and relatively low defaults. While retail demand for the asset class was challenged, strong demand from collateralized loan obligation issuance helped to offset the retail outflows. For the six months ended April 30, 2015, securities rated B in the index gained 2.38%, whereas securities rated BB and securities rated CCC and lower returned 3.02% and -1.76%, respectively.
We reduced the Fund's position in non-floating rate securities during the reporting period. We have the flexibility to allocate up to 20% of the portfolio to these securities, and we have usually invested in fixed-rate senior secured bonds for this purpose. The Fund's allocation to non-floating rate securites began the period at approximately 4.8% of the portfolio and ended it at approximately 2.6%. Relative value between floating rate loans and bonds fluctuated during the reporting period given the increase in volatility.
We continued to actively participate in the new issuance market by emphasizing securities in the primary versus the secondary bank loan market due to the former's higher current yields. We also held the view that securities in the new issue market provided better opportunities on a total return basis. Throughout the period, we emphasized loans in the primary market from issuers that we found to have appropriate capital structures, positive operating momentum and relatively low leverage.
The Fund's higher quality bias largely benefited results during the reporting period. The Fund's overweight to securities rated BB and securities rated B securities, relative to the benchmark, along with its underweight to securities rated CCC, were the largest positives for performance. The Fund's modest cash position was a drag on results given the positive return of the overall high yield market.
From a sector perspective, security selection in utilities, lodging/casinos and business equipment & services were the largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. In contrast, security selection in oil & gas, telecommunications and industrial equipment detracted the most from results.
We continue to have a positive outlook for the senior floating rate bank loan market. Our view is driven by overall solid fundamentals, relatively low leverage and continued growth in the U.S. As was the case last year, we anticipate that total returns in 2015 will be driven by coupons. We believe loans offer attractive relative value compared to other fixed income instruments, particularly when interest rates begin to rise, which we suspect will occur over the next year. On an issuer basis, we believe the senior floating rate bank loan default rate in 2015 will be below its historical average. This is based on our outlook for overall positive fundamentals. In addition, there is very little in the way of near-term maturities and issuers continue to retain strong cash balances.

High Income Bond Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 1.24% total return for the six months ended April 30, 2015 but underperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index, which provided a 1.52% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite several setbacks, the overall fixed income market posted a positive return over the six month period ended April 30, 2015. Short-term Treasury yields moved higher as the market anticipated a U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike in 2015. In contrast, longer-term rates declined given a number of flights to quality triggered by geopolitical issues and concerns over global growth. The high yield market experienced periods of elevated volatility during the reporting period, partially due to a sharp decline and subsequent rally in the energy sector. Within the benchmark, securities rated CCC (a relatively low rating) and BB-rated securities (rated higher) returned -0.67% and 2.37%, respectively.1
From a sector perspective, an underweight to banking versus the benchmark, along with security selection in telecommunication services and utilities, detracted the most from performance. Conversely, security selection in gaming and support services, coupled with an underweight to metals & mining, contributed the most to performance.
The Fund's lower-quality bias largely detracted from results during the reporting period. The Fund's overweight to securities rated CCC, along with its underweight to securities rated BB and higher, were the largest detractors from performance. Strong security selection, particularly in CCC-rated securities, helped mitigate the lower-quality bias. The Fund's modest cash position was also a drag on results given the positive return of the overall high yield market. Elsewhere, having a duration that was shorter than the index was a headwind given the declining rate environment.
We made several adjustments to the portfolio during the reporting period. We increased the Fund's allocations to bonds that are rated CCC, BB and higher. From a sector perspective, we increased the Fund's allocations to gaming, gas distribution and diversified financial services. Conversely, we reduced its exposures to metals & mining and supportive services, while maintaining a zero weighting in consumer products and banks/insurance.
We continue to have a positive outlook for the high yield market. In our view, fundamentals remain largely intact. Corporate balance sheets appear strong overall and many issuers have taken advantage of low interest rates to refinance their debt and push back their maturities. These factors, coupled with what we believe could be continued growth in the U.S., could, in our view, allow the vast majority of lower-quality companies to meet their debt obligations. Against this backdrop, we think high yield defaults could be approximately 2.5% in 2015, versus a long-term average of 3.8%. Still, there could be periods of heightened volatility as investors react to incoming economic data, shifting Fed monetary policy and geopolitical events. This, in turn, could impact the demand for high yield securities.

Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 0.64% total return for the six months ended April 30, 2015 but underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays 7-Year G.O. Index, which provided a 1.02% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite a modest uptick in yields, the municipal bond market posted a positive return during the six-month reporting period. The municipal market was supported by overall improving fundamentals and low defaults. While new municipal security supply sharply increased during the period, this was generally well absorbed by investor demand. Still, the increase in supply was a key reason why municipal securities lagged equal-duration Treasuries during the period. All told, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 1.17% for the six months ended April 30, 2015. In contrast, the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 2.06%.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fund maintained a barbell approach (investing in shorter and longer maturities). In contrast, the Fund's benchmark is concentrated in the six- to eight-year portion of the curve. Yield curve positioning detracted from results as the intermediate portion of the municipal curve outperformed its short- and longer-term counterparts. While we allowed the Fund's duration to drift shorter during the period, it remained longer than the benchmark, which contributed to performance.
The Fund's quality biases were also additive to results. In particular, having an overweight, relative to the benchmark, to BBB-rated and A-rated securities and an underweight to AAA-rated securities was rewarded given the outperformance of lower-rated securities. From a sector perspective, an overweight to hospitals added to results. Elsewhere, security selection had a mixed impact on performance during the reporting period.
We maintain our positive outlook for the municipal bond market. In our view, the U.S. economy could gain some traction as the year progresses, which we believe would lead to generally improving fundamentals. While we anticipate that new issuance in the municipal market will be higher in 2015 versus last year, we think it could be well absorbed by solid investor demand. We also do not foresee a dramatic increase in yields given our belief that there will be continued slack in the global economy and modest inflation, in addition to the U.S. Federal Reserve's assurances that it is in no hurry to raise rates. Against this backdrop, we anticipate maintaining the Fund's barbelled yield curve structure.

Short Duration Bond Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 0.41% total return for the six months ended April 30, 2015 but underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Index, which provided a 0.56% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite several setbacks, the overall fixed income market posted a positive return over the six month period. Short-term Treasury yields moved higher as the market anticipated a U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike in 2015. In contrast, longer-term rates declined given a number of flights to quality, triggered by geopolitical issues and concerns over global growth. The yield on the 10-year Treasury began the period at 2.34% and fell as low as 1.64% in late January, before ending the period at 2.03%. Most non-Treasury securities produced positive returns, but generated mixed results versus equal-duration Treasuries during the reporting period.
The Fund's underweight to agency debt detracted from results as the sector outperformed similar duration Treasuries during the reporting period. Security selection, overall, was also negative for results. Conversely, the Fund's allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) was beneficial for performance. Duration and yield curve positioning also contributed to results.
There were several adjustments made to the portfolio over the reporting period. We decreased the Fund's exposure to asset-backed securities (ABS) and increased the Fund's exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). We also pared the Fund's allocation to CMBS. Within the investment grade corporate bond sector, we sold certain positions where we felt there were potential event risks, such as merger and acquisition activity, which could lead to an increase in volatility. We also actively participated in the new issue market, initiating positions as well as extending the maturities of companies that we found to be attractive.
At the end of the reporting period, the Fund's largest overweight positions, when compared to the benchmark, were in the CMBS, ABS and agency MBS sectors. Elsewhere, we had a modest overweight to investment grade corporate bonds. Our largest underweights were Treasury securities and agency debt.
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that the decision as to when the Fed will start raising rates will be data dependent. Thus far in 2015, economic data has been generally muted and inflation has remained benign. While oil prices have fallen sharply since their peak in June 2014, this has yet to equate to a meaningful increase in consumer spending. While we believe growth in the U.S. will gain some traction as the year progresses, we do not anticipate seeing a robust expansion. In such an environment, we think inflation could remain contained. Against this backdrop, we currently plan to adhere to our strategy of overweighting non-Treasury securities, along with maintaining a defensive duration posture.

Short Duration High Income Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 1.63% total return for the six months ended April 30, 2015 and outperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year BB-B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, which provided a 1.55% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite several setbacks, the overall fixed income market posted a positive return over the six-month period. Short-term Treasury yields moved higher as the market anticipated a U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike in 2015. In contrast, longer-term rates declined given a number of flights to quality triggered by geopolitical issues and concerns over global growth. The high yield market experienced periods of elevated volatility during the reporting period, partially due to a sharp decline and subsequent rally in the energy sector.
The sectors that were the most beneficial to the Fund's absolute performance during the reporting period were health care, gaming and diversified financial services. Detracting the most from absolute performance were the energy, aerospace/defense and metals & mining sectors.
From a quality perspective, approximately 92% of the portfolio was held in securities rated B and higher, as well as in cash. If we had allocated a smaller portion of the portfolio to securities rated CCC we would have likely further enhanced the Fund's absolute performance, as this portion of the market underperformed both B-rated and BB-rated securities.1
Several adjustments were made to the portfolio during the reporting period. We increased the Fund's allocations to health care and energy. We maintained the Fund's zero allocation to transportation and banking/insurance. Elsewhere, the portfolio continued to have a very modest allocation to environmental.
We continue to have a positive outlook for the high yield market. In our view, fundamentals remain largely intact. Corporate balance sheets appear strong overall and many issuers have taken advantage of low interest rates to refinance their debt and push back their maturities. These factors, coupled with what we believe could be continued growth in the U.S., could, in our view, allow the vast majority of lower-quality companies to meet their debt obligations. Against this backdrop, we think high yield defaults could be approximately 2.5% in 2015, versus a long-term average of 3.8%. Still, there could be periods of heightened volatility as investors react to incoming economic data, shifting Fed monetary policy and geopolitical events. This, in turn, could impact the demand for high yield securities.

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 Management LLC (Management) 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 Management) 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.
For the period ended April 30, 2015, the 30-day SEC yields were 3.49%, 2.98% and 2.37% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 3.40%, 2.88% and 2.23% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2014 were 0.85%, 1.24% and 2.03% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.75%, 1.12% and 1.87% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the semi-annual period ended April 30, 2015 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%, 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.

Strategic Income Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 1.30% total return for the six months ended April 30, 2015 but underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which provided a 2.06% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite several setbacks, the overall fixed income market posted a positive return over the six-month period. Short-term Treasury yields moved higher as the market anticipated a U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike in 2015. In contrast, longer-term rates declined given a number of flights to quality triggered by geopolitical issues and concerns over global growth. The yield on the 10-year Treasury began the period at 2.34% and fell as low as 1.64% in late January 2015, before ending the period at 2.03%. Most non-Treasury securities produced positive returns, but generated mixed results versus equal-duration Treasuries during the reporting period.
The Fund's underperformance was largely driven by its defensive duration position. Given our belief that rates would move somewhat higher, we maintained a duration that was shorter than the benchmark. This was not rewarded as intermediate- and longer-term rates declined during the period. The Fund also used financial futures contracts to assist in managing its duration positioning, which was a further drag on results.
On the upside, the Fund's allocation to non-Treasury securities was modestly additive to results. The Fund's exposures to investment grade corporate bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities and senior floating rate loans also contributed positively to performance. Additionally, our positioning among global developed market sovereigns was beneficial for returns.
Several changes were made to the portfolio during the reporting period. At the end of 2014 and in early 2015, we increased the Fund's exposure to high yield corporate bonds. We found the asset class as a whole to be more attractively valued given its energy sector-driven selloff. In addition, we made several tactical adjustments to our positioning in global developed market sovereigns. In particular, toward the end of the period we reduced the Fund's overweight to peripheral European countries, such as Italy and Spain, to capture profits.
Looking ahead, we believe that the decision as to when the Fed will start raising rates will be data dependent. Thus far in 2015, economic data has been generally muted and inflation has remained benign. While oil prices have fallen sharply since their peak in June 2014, this has yet to equate to a meaningful increase in consumer spending. While we believe growth in the U.S. could gain some traction as the year progresses, we do not anticipate seeing a robust expansion. In such an environment, we believe inflation should remain contained. Against this backdrop, we currently plan to maintain our strategy of overweighting non-Treasury securities, as we believe it is appropriate for long-term investors.
Sincerely,
THANOS BARDAS, DAVID M. BROWN, ANDREW A. JOHNSON, THOMAS J. MARTHALER AND BRADLEY C. TANK

Unconstrained Bond Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a -0.82% total return for the six months ended April 30, 2015 and underperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, which provided a 0.01% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Lower interest rates, U.S. dollar strength, increased market volatility and fluctuating commodity prices were prominent storylines during much of the six-month reporting period. Global bond yields were driven lower due to quantitative easing (QE) by central banks, concerns about global growth and moderating inflation expectations. In January 2015, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced its QE program, which eventually moved eurozone yields to record lows. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve (Fed) appeared to push back the timing and pace of its eventual path of monetary policy tightening. Importantly, record low global sovereign yields may, in our view, prove to be short lived, as the last few weeks of the period saw the beginnings of a dramatic spike in global yields.
Investor sentiment for credit markets suffered at times as oil price volatility had an impact on investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporates and emerging markets debt. Local currency emerging markets debt was further impacted by U.S. dollar strength. Notably, when oil prices eventually stabilized, so did risky assets. Elsewhere, non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities demonstrated relative stability compared to the volatility seen in other sectors.
The U.S. dollar appreciated against nearly every other developed market currency and the vast majority of emerging markets currencies during the period. U.S. dollar strength has been driven by diverging expectations for future monetary policy and macroeconomic outlooks. Commodity-exporting countries also saw their currencies under pressure. Toward the end of the period, many currencies stabilized or rallied against the U.S. dollar.
With respect to Fund performance, the portfolio's short positioning in Germany, Japan and Canada was not rewarded as global sovereign yields moved lower. Positive performance from long duration positions in New Zealand and the UK was not sufficient to offset the impact of the aforementioned short positions. The portfolio's active currency positioning detracted from performance, particularly our short in the Swiss franc. Emerging markets hard currency debt detracted as well, especially our exposures to commodity exporting countries and oil-related corporates. On the upside, the portfolio's allocation to global investment grade corporate bonds was beneficial. Security selection was also additive for results, especially our holdings in financial institutions. Allocations to global high yield corporate bonds were additive for performance as well.
During the reporting period, the portfolio's aggregate use of financial futures contracts and forward contracts detracted from performance. The Fund used such contracts in an effort to enhance returns, to establish net short or long positions for markets, currencies or securities, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund or the risk of individual positions, or to obtain exposure to certain markets.
Looking forward, the global economy continues to show signs of growth, with no indications, in our view, of either overheating or coming off the boil. We believe this backdrop, in combination with ample central bank liquidity, should continue to support risk assets (e.g., high yield bonds, currencies, emerging markets debt). Globally, government bond valuations appear stretched relative to an improving economic outlook, and both Germany and Japan no longer appear to be sources of "bond bullish" news. A number of potential catalysts for volatility later in the year remain. Topping the list would be the anticipated first rate hike from the Fed in the face of stronger data. We also believe oil is likely to remain volatile. In Europe, negotiations between Greece and the ECB/European Union/International Monetary Fund remain tense. Finally, we think U.S. dollar strength has unclear implications for global economic outlooks and capital flows, particularly in emerging markets.

BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index: | | The index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. In addition to meeting other criteria, qualifying securities must have a below investment grade rating (based on an average of Moody's, S&P and Fitch ratings), and have risk exposure to countries that are members of the FX-G10, Western Europe or territories of the U.S. and Western Europe. Securities in legal default are excluded from the index. Index constituents are capitalization-weighted, provided the total allocation to an individual issuer does not exceed 2%. | |
BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index: | | The index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. At the end of the month that issue is sold and rolled into a newly selected issue. The issue selected at each month-end rebalancing is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, three months from the rebalancing date. | |
BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year BB-B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index: | | The index tracks the performance of short-term U.S. dollar-denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. In addition to meeting other criteria, qualifying securities must have less than five years remaining term to final maturity, be rated BB1 through B3, inclusive (based on an average of Moody's, S&P and Fitch ratings), and have risk exposure to countries that are members of the FX-G10, Western Europe or territories of the U.S. and Western Europe. Index constituents are capitalization-weighted, provided the total allocation to an individual issuer does not exceed 2%. | |
S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index: | | The index measures the performance of the U.S. leveraged loan market based upon real-time market weightings, spreads and interest payments. Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA)/Loan Pricing Corporation (LPC) mark-to-market pricing is used to price each loan in the index. | |

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 April 30, 2015 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.

† In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund ("Core Bond"), Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund ("Floating Rate Income"), Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund ("High Income"), Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund ("Municipal Intermediate Bond"), Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Income Fund ("New York Municipal Income"), Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund ("Short Duration"), Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund ("Short Duration High Income"), Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund ("Strategic Income") and Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund ("Unconstrained Bond") (each individually a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds") are carried at the value that Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("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. Significant management judgment may be necessary 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 – 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 debt securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which 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 Debt Securities. Inputs used to value corporate debt securities generally include relative credit information, observed market movements, sector news, spread to the U.S. Treasury market, and other market information, which may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, 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, dealer quotes, conversion premiums, listed bond and preferred stock prices and other market information, which may include benchmark curves, trade execution data, and sensitivity analysis, when available.
U.S. Treasury Securities. 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.
See Notes to Financial Statements
102
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited) (cont'd)
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, Sovereign Debt and Quasi-Sovereign Debt. Inputs used to value emerging markets debt, sovereign debt and quasi-sovereign debt 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.
The value of the Funds' investments in exchange traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, is generally determined by Management by obtaining valuations from an independent pricing service 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 reported sale of a security on a particular day, the independent pricing service may value the security based on reported market quotations.
The value of forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from an independent pricing service based on actual traded currency rates on an independent pricing service's network, along with other traded and quoted currency rates provided to the pricing service by leading market participants (Level 2 inputs).
The value of bank loan obligations 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 financial futures contracts is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services at the settlement price at the market close (Level 1 inputs).
Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.
Investments in investment companies, with the exception of closed-end funds, if any, are valued using the respective fund's daily calculated net asset value per share (Level 2 inputs).
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 readily available, the security is valued using methods the Neuberger Berman Income Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs,
See Notes to Financial Statements
103
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited) (cont'd)
including available analyst, media or other reports, trading in futures or American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.
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 local currency values are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of the end of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on business days, usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. The Board has approved the use of Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data, Inc. ("Interactive") to evaluate the prices of foreign income securities as of the close of the NYSE. Interactive utilizes benchmark spread and yield curves and evaluates available market activity from the local close to the close of the NYSE (Level 2 inputs) to assist in determining prices for certain foreign income securities. In the absence of precise information about the market values of these foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE, the Board has determined on the basis of available data that prices evaluated in this way are likely to be closer to the prices a Fund could realize on a current sale than are 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 next trades.
The following is a summary, categorized by Level, of inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of April 30, 2015:

As of the six months ended April 30, 2015, certain securities were transferred from one level (as of October 31, 2014) to another. Based on beginning of period market values as of November 1, 2014, approximately $10,305,000 and $6,532,000 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 for Floating Rate Income and Strategic Income, respectively, as a result of an increase in the number of observable inputs that were readily available to the independent pricing service. Also, approximately $7,881,000 and $4,341,000 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 for Floating Rate Income and Strategic Income, respectively, as a result of a decrease in the number of observable inputs that were readily available to the independent pricing service.

Notes to Financial Statements Income Funds (Unaudited)
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 1933 Act. Each Fund is a separate operating series of the Trust. Each Fund (except New York Municipal Income and Unconstrained Bond) is diversified. Four Funds offer Investor Class shares, two offer Trust Class shares, nine offer Institutional Class shares, eight offer Class A shares, eight offer Class C shares, one offers Class R3 shares and three offer Class R6 shares. New York Municipal Income had no operations until March 11, 2013, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of its shares as a series of the Trust under the 1933 Act. New York Municipal Income was the successor to The Empire Builder Tax Free Bond Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") pursuant to a reorganization that took place prior to March 11, 2013. The financial information prior to March 11, 2013 for the Institutional Class of New York Municipal Income is that of the Builder Class of the Predecessor Fund. Unconstrained Bond had no operations until February 13, 2014, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of its shares under the 1933 Act. The Board may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.
A zero balance, if any, reflects an actual amount rounding to less than $1,000.
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.
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification 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: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Funds' Schedule of Investments.
3 Foreign currency translation: Core Bond, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration, Short Duration High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond 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 translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the end of regular trading on the NYSE on business days, usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, 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 the 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 (for each Fund) and foreign currency transactions (for Core Bond, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration, Short Duration High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond), if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated
128
separately in the Statements of Operations. Included in net realized gain (loss) on investments are proceeds from the settlements of class action litigation in which Strategic Income participated as a class member. The amounts of such proceeds for the six months ended April 30, 2015 were $845 for 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 by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies 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.
The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 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. As of April 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.
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.
As determined on October 31, 2014, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting were reclassified at year end. Such differences may be attributed to the tax treatment of one or more of the following: amortization of bond premium; gains and losses from swaps, foreign currencies, futures and forwards; paydown losses on mortgage backed and asset backed securities; non-deductible stock issuance costs; nontaxable distributions paid by the fund; expiration of capital loss carryforwards; and deflation adjustments on U.S. Treasury inflation protected bonds (TIPs). These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net asset value ("NAV") or NAV per share of each Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:
| | Paid-in Capital | | Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) | | Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Investments | |
Core Bond | | $ | 2 | | | $ | 48,880 | | | $ | (48,882 | ) | |

The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: losses disallowed and recognized on wash sales and straddles; end of year distributions payable; delayed settlement compensation on bank loans; mark-to-market adjustments on swaps, futures and forwards; adjustments related to TIPs; amortization of bond premium; and amortization of organization costs.
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. The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") became effective for the Funds on November 1, 2011 (March 1, 2011 for New York Municipal Income (which includes the Predecessor Fund)). The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term ("Post-Enactment"). Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years and all carryforwards were considered short-term in character ("Pre-Enactment"). As determined at October 31, 2014, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:
| | Pre-Enactment | |
| | Expiring in: | |
| | 2015 | | 2016 | | 2017 | | 2018 | | 2019 | |
Floating Rate Income | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 835,287 | | |
Short Duration | | | 643,625 | | | | — | | | | 8,069,282 | | | | 850,271 | | | | 1,276,932 | | |
| | Post-Enactment (No Expiration Date) | |
| | Long-Term | | Short-Term | |
Floating Rate Income | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,310,764 | | |
Short Duration | | | 3,041,422 | | | | 212,236 | | |
Short Duration High Income | | | 53,767 | | | | 229,802 | | |
Unconstrained Bond | | | 206,329 | | | | — | | |
Post-Enactment capital loss carryforwards must be fully used before Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards; therefore, under certain circumstances, Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date may expire unused.
During the year ended October 31, 2014, Short Duration had capital loss carryforwards expire of $2,244,689. During the year ended October 31, 2014, Strategic Income utilized capital loss carryforwards of $7,036,290.
6 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.
7 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
131
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 Management 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 or series thereof in the complex on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies or series thereof in the complex can otherwise be made fairly. Each Fund's expenses (other than those specific to each class) are allocated proportionally each day among the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
8 Dollar rolls: Core Bond, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration, Short Duration High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond may enter into dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities. In a dollar roll transaction, a Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously agrees to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type and coupon) securities on a specified future date from the same party. During the period before this repurchase, a Fund forgoes principal and interest payments on the securities. A Fund is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the "drop"), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Dollar rolls may increase fluctuations in a Fund's NAV and may be viewed as a form of leverage. There is a risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses to a Fund.
9 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. At the time a Fund enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions can have a leverage-like effect on a Fund, which can increase fluctuations in the Fund's share price. Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities 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.
10 Foreign taxes: Foreign taxes withheld, if any, represent amounts withheld by foreign tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.
11 Investments in foreign securities: Investing in foreign securities may involve certain 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.
12 Derivative instruments: During the six months ended April 30, 2015, certain of the Funds' use of derivatives, as described below, was limited to financial futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts. The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The disclosure requirements of 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.
132
Credit default swap contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Funds did not enter into centrally cleared credit default swaps. When a Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, it is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) 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 the swap. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the centrally clearing party daily. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts to determine the market value of swaps.
Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivative transactions, including certain credit default swaps. 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 clearing house, 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 margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared derivative transaction.
Financial futures contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2015, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Municipal Intermediate Bond, New York Municipal Income, Short Duration and Short Duration High Income did not enter into any financial futures contracts. During the six months ended April 30, 2015, Core Bond and Strategic Income used financial futures contracts for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device. During the six months ended April 30, 2015, Unconstrained Bond used financial futures contracts 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 and to enhance returns.
At the time a Fund enters into a financial 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 financial 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 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 financial futures contract fluctuates. Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses.
133
Although some financial futures contracts 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 financial futures contracts. When the contracts are closed, 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 that 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.

Forward foreign currency contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2015, Unconstrained Bond used forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets and to enhance returns.
A forward 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 contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward 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 contract to purchase or sell currency, a Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of the forward contract or enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward 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 a contract is included in "Net realized gain (loss) from 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 risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
At April 30, 2015, open forward contracts for Unconstrained Bond were as follows:

Management has concluded that the Funds, except Core Bond, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond, did not hold any derivative instruments during the six months ended April 30, 2015 that require additional disclosures pursuant to ASC 815.
The Funds adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 is intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. Pursuant to ASU 2011-11, an entity is required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to 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. ASU 2011-11 is applicable only to Unconstrained Bond at April 30, 2015. Unconstrained Bond's derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type are reported gross on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present Unconstrained Bond's derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received by Unconstrained Bond for assets and pledged by Unconstrained Bond for liabilities as of April 30, 2015.

13 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.
14 Transactions with other funds managed by Neuberger Berman Management LLC: Neuberger Berman Income Funds and Management have obtained an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that permits the Funds to invest in both affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, in excess of the limits in Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, as amended, subject to the terms and conditions of such order. Through April 30, 2015, Strategic Income invested in Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund (an "Underlying Fund") (see Note F).
For Strategic Income's investment in the Underlying Fund, Management 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 six months ended April 30, 2015, management fees waived under this Arrangement are reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Investment management fees waived." For the six months ended April 30, 2015, income earned under this Arrangement on Strategic Income's investments is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Dividend income-affiliated issuers." For the six months ended April 30, 2015, management fees waived and income earned under this Arrangement on Strategic Income's investments in the Underlying Fund were as follows:
| | Management Fees Waived | | Income Earned | |
Strategic Income | | $ | 450,056 | | | $ | 4,297,132 | | |
15 Other: All net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each Fund are allocated, on the basis of relative net assets, pro rata among its respective classes.

Note B—Management Fees, Administration Fees, Distribution Arrangements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
Each Fund retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, Core Bond, Municipal Intermediate Bond, New York Municipal Income and Short Duration each pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of that Fund's average daily net assets, 0.225% of the next $500 million, 0.20% of the next $500 million, 0.175% of the next $500 million, and 0.15% of average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. Accordingly, for the period ended April 30, 2015, the fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.25%, 0.25%, 0.25% and 0.25% of Core Bond's, Municipal Intermediate Bond's, New York Municipal Income's and Short Duration's average daily net assets, respectively. For such investment management services, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond each pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.50%, 0.48%, 0.45%, 0.55% (0.50% after management fee waiver (see Note A-14) and 0.45% (0.60% prior to February 28, 2015), respectively, of its average daily net assets.
Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.06% of its average daily net assets under this agreement. In addition, Investor Class, Class A, Class C and Class R3 of each Fund that offers those classes pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.21% of its average daily net assets, Trust Class of each of Short Duration and Strategic Income pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.44% and 0.34%, respectively, of its average daily net assets, Institutional Class of each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.09% of its average daily net assets, and Class R6 of each of High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond pays Management an administrative fee at the annual rate of 0.02% of its average daily net assets, under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement.
Management 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 apply to a Fund's direct expenses and exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses and dividend and interest expenses on short sales, if any; consequently, net expenses may exceed the contractual expense limitations. Each Fund has agreed that each of its respective classes will repay Management 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 were waived or reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays Management, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which Management incurred the expense.
During the six months ended April 30, 2015, there was no repayment to Management under these agreements.
At April 30, 2015, contingent liabilities to Management under the agreements were as follows:

Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI"), as the sub-adviser to High Income, Municipal Intermediate Bond, Short Duration and Strategic Income, is retained by Management to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to each Fund it sub-advises. NBFI, as the sub-adviser to Core Bond, Floating Rate Income, New York Municipal Income and Short Duration High Income, is retained by Management to provide day-to-day investment management services and receives a monthly fee paid by Management. NBFI and Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL"), as the sub-advisers to Unconstrained Bond, are retained by Management to choose the Fund's investments and handle its day-to-day business for the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to each by Management, and each receives a monthly fee paid by Management. As investment manager, Management is responsible for overseeing the investment activities of NBFI and NBEL. Several individuals who are Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of NBFI, NBEL and/or Management.
Each Fund also has a distribution agreement with Management with respect to each class of shares. Management acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without sales commission or other compensation, except as described below for Class A and Class C shares, and bears advertising and promotion expenses.
However, Management 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, Management's activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, Management receives from each of these respective classes a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of Core Bond Investor Class', Core Bond Class A's, Floating Rate Income Class A's, High Income Class A's, Municipal Intermediate Bond Class A's, Short Duration Class A's, Short Duration High Income Class A's, Strategic Income Class A's and Unconstrained Bond 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 Core Bond Class C's, Floating Rate Income Class C's, High Income Class C's, Municipal Intermediate Bond Class C's, Short Duration Class C's, Short Duration High Income Class C's, Strategic Income Class C's and Unconstrained Bond Class C's average daily net assets. Management 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.

Class A shares of each Fund (except Short Duration) are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.25%. Class A shares of Short Duration are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 2.50% (4.25% prior to June 15, 2011). Class A shares of each Fund are generally sold with no contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), except that a CDSC of 1.00% applies to certain redemptions made within 18 months following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge. Class C shares of each Fund are sold with no initial sales charge and a 1.00% CDSC if shares are sold within one year after purchase.
For the six months ended April 30, 2015, Management, acting as underwriter and broker-dealer, received net initial sales charges from the purchase of Class A shares and CDSCs from the redemption of Class A and Class C shares as follows:

Note E—Lines of Credit:
At April 30, 2015, 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. Other investment companies managed by Management also participate in this line of credit on the same terms. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, each Fund 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 payable, and interest charged on any borrowing made by such Fund and other costs incurred by such Fund. Because several mutual 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 April 30, 2015. During the period from January 9, 2015 (the commencement date of the Credit Facility) through April 30, 2015, none of the Funds utilized this line of credit. The Credit Facility replaced the State Street lines of credit referred to below.
During the reporting period, prior to the commencement of the Credit Facility, and on January 9, 2015, each Fund was a participant in a committed, unsecured $300,000,000 line of credit with State Street and an uncommitted, unsecured $100,000,000 line of credit with State Street, both to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. During the period ended April 30, 2015, none of the Funds utilized either line of credit with State Street.

Note G—Subsequent Event:
On June 1, 2015, Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund was served with a lawsuit filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled Motors Liquidation Company Avoidance Action Trust vs. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. et al. and numbered Adv. No. 09-00504 (REG). In addition to the fund, the lawsuit also names over five hundred other institutional investors as defendants. The lawsuit does not allege any misconduct by the defendants, but seeks to recover payments made by General Motors Corporation (n/k/a Motors Liquidation Company) and its affiliates (collectively, "GM") to the defendants shortly prior to and after GM's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on June 1, 2009 (the "Petition Date"). The complaint alleges that GM made the payments to the defendants under a certain term loan agreement, dated as of November 29, 2006, as amended by that first amendment dated as of March 4, 2009 (the "Term Loan Agreement"); that the payments occurred both during the ninety (90) days prior to the Petition Date (the "Preference Period") and after the Petition Date when all amounts due under the Term Loan Agreement were paid in full in connection with GM's postpetition financing (the "Postpetition Transfers"); that the lien purportedly securing the Term Loan Agreement was not perfected as of the Petition Date; and that the lenders under the Term Loan Agreement should therefore have been treated as unsecured creditors rather than paid in full as secured creditors. The plaintiff seeks avoidance of the lien securing the Term Loan Agreement as unperfected under Section 544(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; disgorgement of all amounts paid to the defendants during the Preference Period (plus interest) under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code; disgorgement of all amounts paid to the defendants as Postpetition Transfers (plus interest) under Section 549 of the Bankruptcy Code; and disallowance of any bankruptcy claims of the defendants against GM until they repay all such amounts under Section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Bond Fund cannot predict the outcome of the lawsuit. If the lawsuit were to be decided or settled in a manner adverse to the fund, the payment of such judgment or settlement could have an adverse effect on the fund's net asset value. However, no liability for litigation relating to this matter has been accrued in the financial statements as neither the likelihood nor the amount of any liability can reasonably be determined at this time.

Notes to Financial Highlights Income Funds (Unaudited)
†† 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 may 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. The voluntary contribution listed in Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements had no impact on the Funds' total returns for the year ended October 31, 2014.
@@ The class action proceeds listed in Note A-4 of the Notes to Financial Statements had no impact on the Funds' total returns for the six months ended April 30, 2015.

Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this semi-annual shareholder report for Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund. The report includes a portfolio commentary, a listing of the Fund's investments and its unaudited financial statements for the six months ended April 30, 2015.
The Fund is managed by Rob Drijkoningen and Gorky Urquieta, the co-heads of Neuberger Berman's Emerging Markets Debt team, along with five other portfolio managers. The Fund takes a flexible, research-driven approach to investing across a full spectrum of emerging markets (EM) corporate and sovereign/quasi-sovereign debt securities, denominated in local currency (debt made up of sovereign debt issued in local currencies) and hard currency (debt issued by emerging markets sovereign or corporate issuers, but denominated in U.S. dollars, euro or yen). The portfolio managers employ both top-down and bottom-up methodologies in an effort to gauge macroeconomic risks while identifying what they believe are sound credits that provide favorable risk/return dynamics.
During the six-month period, hard currency sovereign debt delivered a 1.37% return and corporate debt delivered a 2.05% return — both outperforming local currency debt, which delivered a -8.24% return.
The investment team is generally constructive on emerging markets debt as it believes a positive fundamental backdrop currently exists for the asset class. For example, the team anticipates emerging markets will benefit from what it thinks will be a continued growth recovery for the U.S. and the eurozone. If this growth is realized, it could translate into better growth dynamics in emerging markets. The current environment is not without risks, however, and requires us to be tactical and proactively adjust the portfolio as we feel appropriate given evolving conditions in our broad universe.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.
Sincerely,
ROBERT CONTI
PRESIDENT AND CEO

Emerging Markets Debt Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund Institutional Class generated a -3.26% total return for the six months ended April 30, 2015 but outperformed its benchmark, a blend consisting of 25% J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index-Global Diversified, 25% J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index-Diversified and 50% J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets Global Diversified, which provided a -3.35% return of for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
During the six-month period, the emerging markets debt market saw positive returns delivered by hard currency sovereign debt and corporate debt. Local currency, on the other hand, performed poorly.
Hard currency performance benefited from the decline in U.S. Treasury rates, while spreads widened during the period. Most of the widening took place in December and January, driven largely by the fall in crude oil prices. At the same time, local bond yields compressed as inflation expectations softened. This trend reversed in February as oil prices recovered while the U.S. dollar appreciation trend also stopped as the eurozone/U.S. growth differential narrowed. From February on we saw outperformance from energy-related names such as Venezuela, Russia, Angola, Ecuador and Kazakhstan.
On the local currency front, Latin America suffered the most from the emerging markets (EM) currencies sell-off in December, while Asia outperformed on a relative basis. Overall, the environment was not favorable for EM foreign exchange (FX), as even the potential beneficiaries of low oil prices (e.g., Asian countries, Turkey and South Africa) suffered from the strong U.S. dollar.
In regards to Fund performance, most of the positive results came from bottom-up allocations in the hard currency sovereign bonds and local currency bonds, as well as from tactical asset allocation. Tactically, we held an overweight in local interest rates on an FX hedged basis and an underweight versus the benchmark in hard currency until early December, when we closed the FX hedge and reallocated to an overweight in hard currency to benefit from more attractive valuations in the latter. We partially closed the underweight in local currency at the beginning of April, as short positions in EM currencies seemed extreme while sentiment started to improve as China pursued more monetary easing, Russia and Ukraine appeared to move towards implementation of the latest Minsk agreement, and Brazil made strides towards a much needed fiscal adjustment.
The largest contributors to performance in hard currency sovereign space were an underweight in Ukraine and overweights in Hungary and Russia. The overweight in Venezuela detracted from performance during the period.
Among the main hard currency portfolio changes over the period, we reduced our corporate exposure in China. In December, we added to oil names in Ecuador, Nigeria and Russia. However, in February we reduced our position in Russia as the conflict with the Ukraine deteriorated and Russia's economic outlook gradually worsened. We moved to an underweight in Turkey as valuations looked expensive on continued government interference with monetary policy amid an environment of general weakening of governance. We increased the overweight in Brazil based on valuations, expectations of a resolution of the Petrobras scandal, and government measures intended to adjust the fiscal gap. We also purchased a corporate credit in Argentina that came to market at what we considered an attractive yield. In Africa, we added to Senegal, where the reform trajectory has remained strong, while the country benefited from lower oil prices. We sold positions in Zambia as copper output worsened and new elections next year complicate the fiscal reform outlook. We also reduced holdings in Iraq as we see fiscal and external balances off track due to the oil shock and security tensions.
In local currency, the portfolio benefited from underweight positions in the Colombian peso and the Singapore dollar, while the overweights in the Mexican peso and Turkey lira detracted from performance. Over the period, we reduced the portfolio's overweights throughout Asia and Eastern Europe, while maintaining a neutral bias to FX. In the rates space, we remained overweighted in Brazil and Thailand. In Hungary, we returned to an overweight position after taking profits in November. In Poland, we remained underweighted versus an overweight in Romania on diverging monetary policies and valuations favoring the latter.
2
Among the main trades in the local space, we remained overweighted in China given its high carry and on expectations that the People's Bank of China would not engineer a currency sell off. We were also overweighted in the Indian rupee as fundamentals remained strong. Conversely, we were underweighted in Singapore and Korea as proxies for ongoing U.S. dollar strength. In CEEMEA (Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa), we added to the overweight in Hungary and increased the underweight in South Africa as fundamentals kept deteriorating. We also closed the underweight in Turkey on favorable current account dynamics. We remained long on the Mexican peso as we believed the country would likely benefit from stronger U.S. growth.
The portfolio's use of interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, forward foreign currency contracts and financial futures contracts negatively impacted portfolio performance during the period.
Looking ahead, we view the global economic outlook as becoming more supportive for emerging markets. We believe the growth recovery should continue further for both the U.S. and eurozone, which would create better prospects for EM exports. On the other hand, domestic demand remains slow in most EM countries except in Eastern Europe. We believe emerging market fundamentals are going through a negative trend, with lower commodity prices, a strong U.S. dollar, slower growth in China and geopolitical developments affecting investor sentiment. Yet, we remain comfortable with the overall emerging markets' underlying credit quality.
The hard currency universe has become less attractive to us relative to local bonds as spreads in the former have compressed, in part reacting to the rebound in commodity prices as of late. Overall, however, given ultra-low rates in the eurozone and low rates in many other fixed income markets, the return proposition in emerging markets debt is appealing, in our view, assuming pitfalls in some riskier EM markets can be avoided.
Sincerely,
ROB DRIJKONINGEN, GORKY URQUIETA, BART VAN DER MADE, RAOUL LUTTIK,

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 performance data 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 Management LLC (Management) 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 Management) 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.
For the period ended April 30, 2015, the 30-day SEC yields were 5.40%, 4.80%, and 4.27% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 5.18%, 3.61% and 3.23% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2014 were 1.12%, 1.74% and 2.45% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.91%, 1.28% and 2.03% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the semi-annual period ended April 30, 2015 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%, 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.

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 the 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 April 30, 2015 and held for the entire period. The table illustrates the 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 the 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.

† In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund") are carried at the value that Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") believes the 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 Fund's investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant management judgment may be necessary 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 – 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 the 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 Fund's investments in debt securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which 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 Fund:
Corporate Debt Securities. Inputs used to value corporate debt securities generally include relative credit information, observed market movements, sector news, spread to the U.S. Treasury market, and other market information, which may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available ("Other Market Information").
Emerging Markets Debt, Sovereign Debt and Quasi-Sovereign Debt. Inputs used to value emerging markets debt, sovereign debt and quasi-sovereign debt 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.
The value of financial 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 forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from an independent pricing service based on actual traded currency rates on an independent pricing service's network, along with other traded and quoted currency rates provided to the pricing service by leading market participants (Level 2 inputs).
The value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on references to the underlying rates including the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") forward rate to produce the daily settlement price (generally Level 2 inputs).
See Notes to Financial Statements
22
Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited) (cont'd)
The value of cross currency swap contracts is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on present value of expected cash flows based on swap parameters along with reference to the underlying yield curve and reference rate.
Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.
Investments in investment companies, with the exception of closed-end funds, if any, are valued using the respective fund's daily calculated net asset value per share (Level 2 inputs).
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 the 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 readily available, the security is valued using methods the Neuberger Berman Income Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, trading in futures or American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.
The value of the Fund's 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 local currency values are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of the end of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on business days, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The Board has approved the use of Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data, Inc. ("Interactive") to evaluate the prices of foreign income securities as of the close of the NYSE. Interactive utilizes benchmark spread and yield curves and evaluates available market activity from the local close to the close of the NYSE (Level 2 inputs) to assist in determining prices for certain foreign income securities. In the absence of precise information about the market values of these foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE, the Board has determined on the basis of available data that prices evaluated in this way are likely to be closer to the prices the Fund could realize on a current sale than are 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 next trades.

Securities categorized as Level 3 are valued based on a single quotation obtained from a dealer. The Fund does not have access to unobservable inputs and therefore cannot disclose inputs used in formulating such quotation.
As of the six months ended April 30, 2015, certain securities were transferred from one level (as of October 31, 2014) to another. Based on beginning of period market values as of November 1, 2014, approximately $1,195,000 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2, as a result of an increase in the number of observable inputs that were readily available to the independent pricing service. As of the period ended April 30, 2015, the Fund had no transfers between Levels 1 and 2.

Notes to Financial Statements Emerging Markets Debt Fund (Unaudited)
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 1933 Act. The Fund is a separate operating series of the Trust and is non-diversified. The Fund offers Institutional Class shares, Class A shares and Class C shares. The Fund had no operations until September 27, 2013, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of its shares under the 1933 Act. Effective June 2, 2014, Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Income Fund changed its name to Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund. The Board may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.
A zero balance, if any, reflects an actual amount rounding to less than $1,000.
The assets of the Fund belong only to the Fund, and the liabilities of the Fund are borne solely by the Fund and no other.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification 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: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
3 Foreign currency translation: The Fund may invest in foreign securities denominated in foreign currencies. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the end of regular trading on the NYSE on business days, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, 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 Statement 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 the 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 Statement of Operations.
5 Income tax information: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. To the extent the 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.
30
The Fund has adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund is 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. As of April 30, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax positions.
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 the Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund. The Fund 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.
As determined on October 31, 2014, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting were reclassified at the end of the period. Such differences may be attributed to one or more of the following: foreign currency gains and losses, rollforward of swap true-up from prior years, capital gains tax and non-deductible 12b-1 fees. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net asset value ("NAV") or NAV per share of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Fund recorded the following permanent reclassifications:
Paid-in Capital | | Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) | | Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Investments | |
$ | (93 | ) | | $ | (1,508,727 | ) | | $ | 1,508,820 | | |
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2014 and the period ended October 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions Paid From: | |
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | Return of Capital | | Total | |
2014 | | 2013 | | 2014 | | 2013 | | 2014 | | 2013 | | 2014 | | 2013 | |
$ | 7,726,651 | | | $ | 302,935 | (1) | | $ | 73,855 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 7,800,506 | | | $ | 302,935 | (1) | |
(2) Period from September 27, 2013 (Commencement of Operations) to October 31, 2013.
As of October 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a U.S. federal income tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Gain | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | Loss Carryforwards and Deferrals | | Other Temporary Differences | | Total | |
$ | 188,279 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | (868,398 | ) | | $ | — | | | $ | (330,759 | ) | | $ | (1,010,878 | ) | |
The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: timing differences of distribution payments, losses disallowed and recognized on wash sales, organizational expenses, deferral of current year straddle losses, and mark to market on certain swap contract transactions, certain future contract transactions and forward foreign currency contracts.
6 Distributions to shareholders: The 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.
31
7 Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds within the complex of related investment companies. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributable to a particular series of the Trust (e.g., the 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 Management 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 or series thereof in the complex on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies or series thereof in the complex can otherwise be made fairly. The Fund's expenses (other than those specific to each class) are allocated proportionally each day among the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
8 Dollar rolls: The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities. In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously agrees to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type and coupon) securities on a specified future date from the same party. During the period before this repurchase, the Fund forgoes principal and interest payments on the securities. The Fund is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the "drop"), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Dollar rolls may increase fluctuations in the Fund's NAV and may be viewed as a form of leverage. There is a risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses to the Fund.
9 When-issued/delayed delivery securities: The Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time the 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 the Fund until payment takes place. At the time the Fund enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions can have a leverage-like effect on the Fund, which can increase fluctuations in the Fund's share price. Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities 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.
10 Foreign taxes: Foreign taxes withheld, if any, represent amounts withheld by foreign tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.
11 Investments in foreign securities: Investing in foreign securities may involve certain 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.
12 Derivative instruments: During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund's use of derivatives, as described below, was limited to interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, forward foreign currency contracts and financial futures contracts. The Fund has adopted the provisions of ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The disclosure requirements of 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 Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, even though the
32
Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.
Interest rate swaps: During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund used interest rate swap transactions, with institutions that Management has determined are creditworthy, 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 add value by obtaining leveraged rate positions. Under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts, 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 netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other on a monthly or quarterly basis. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the Fund's net payment obligations under any interest rate swap transaction, marked to market daily. There is no guarantee that these interest rate swap transactions will be successful in reducing or limiting risk.
Risks may arise if the counterparty to an interest rate 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 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. The reclassifications do not impact the Fund's total net assets or its total net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. At April 30, 2015, the Fund had outstanding interest rate swap contracts as follows:
| | | | | Rate Type | | | | | | | | | | |

During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the average notional value of interest rate swap contracts was $55,010,984.
Cross currency swaps: During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund used cross currency swap transactions, with institutions that Management has determined are creditworthy, to manage or adjust interest rate risk of the Fund, to take advantage of the portfolio managers' views on interest rate movements and market pricing of future monetary policy, to obtain exposure on a maturity horizon where bonds are illiquid or do not exist, and to add value by obtaining leveraged rate positions. Cross currency swaps are interest rate swaps in which interest payments and principal amounts are exchanged in two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. The entire principal value of a cross currency swap is subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations. 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. The reclassifications do not impact the Fund's total net assets or its total net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. At April 30, 2015, the Fund had outstanding cross currency swap contracts as follows:
| | | | | | Rate Type | | | | | | | | | |
Swap Counterparty | | Fund Receives Fixed-rate on Notional Amount(1) | | Fund Pays Floating-rate on Notional Amount(1) | | Fixed-rate | | Variable-rate Payments Received/ (Paid) by the Fund | | Termination Date | | Accrued Net Interest Receivable (Payable) | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | Total Fair Value | |

During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the average notional value of cross currency swap contracts was $11,399,743.
Forward foreign currency contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund used forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") to manage or adjust views on foreign exchange rate movements and currency exposure of the Fund, to add value by applying foreign exchange leverage, and to gain exposure to new and difficult to access markets.
A forward 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 contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. At the consummation of a forward contract to purchase or sell currency, the Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of the forward contract or enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward 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 a contract is included in "Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency contracts" in the Statement of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
At April 30, 2015, open forward contracts were as follows:

For the six months ended April 30, 2015 the Fund's investment in forward contracts had an average value of $251,813,498.
Financial futures contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund used financial futures contracts for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device.
At the time the Fund enters into a financial 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 financial 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 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 financial futures contract fluctuates. Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.
Although some financial futures contracts 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 financial futures contracts. When the contracts are closed, the 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. Financial futures contracts executed on regulated futures exchanges have minimal counterparty risk to the Fund because the exchange's clearinghouse assumes the position of the counterparty in each transaction. Thus, the 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 the 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, the Fund's losses on transactions involving futures contracts may be deferred rather than being taken into account currently in calculating the Fund's taxable income.

The Fund adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 is intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. Pursuant to ASU 2011-11, an entity is required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to 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. The Fund's derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type are reported gross in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present the Fund's derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received by the Fund for assets and pledged by the Fund for liabilities as of April 30, 2015.

13 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.
14 Other: All net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Fund are allocated, on the basis of relative net assets, pro rata among its respective classes.
Note B—Management Fees, Administration Fees, Distribution Arrangements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The Fund retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, the Fund pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.06% of its average daily net assets under this agreement.
47
In addition, Institutional Class pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.09% of its average daily net assets and Class A and Class C each pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.21% of its average daily net assets, under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement.
Management has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Institutional Class, Class A and Class C of the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses of those classes do not exceed the expense limitations as detailed in the following table. These undertakings apply to the Fund's direct expenses and exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses and dividend and interest expenses on short sales, if any; consequently, net expenses may exceed the contractual expense limitations. The Fund has agreed that each of its respective classes will repay Management 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 were waived or reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays Management, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which Management incurred the expense.
During the six months ended April 30, 2015, there was no repayment to Management under this agreement.
At April 30, 2015, contingent liabilities to Management under the agreement were as follows:
| | | | | | Expenses Reimbursed in Fiscal Period Ending, October 31, | |
| | | | | | 2013(2) | | 2014 | | 2015 | |
| | | | | | Subject to Repayment Until October 31, | |
Class | | Contractual Expense Limitation(1) | | Expiration | | 2016 | | 2017 | | 2018 | |

Class A | | | 1.27 | %(3) | | 10/31/18 | | | 2,100 | | | | 259 | | | | 613 | | |
Class C | | | 2.02 | %(3) | | 10/31/18 | | | 2,090 | | | | 351 | | | | 716 | | |
(1) Expense limitation per annum of the respective class's average daily net assets.
(2) Period from September 27, 2013 (Commencement of Operations) to October 31, 2013.
(3) In addition, Management voluntarily waived expenses as necessary to maintain a minimum yield from September 27, 2013 (Commencement of Operations) to September 30, 2013. For the period ended October 31, 2013, voluntary reimbursements for the Institutional Class, Class A and Class C amounted to $8,376, $7 and $11, respectively. These amounts are not subject to recovery by Management. This undertaking was in addition to the contractual undertakings as stated above.
Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI") and (effective December 1, 2013) Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL"), as the sub-advisers to the Fund, are retained by Management to choose the Fund's investments and handle its day-to-day business for the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to each by Management, and each receives a monthly fee paid by Management. As investment manager, Management is responsible for overseeing the investment activities of NBFI and NBEL. Several individuals who are Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of NBFI, NBEL and/or Management.
The Fund also has a distribution agreement with Management with respect to each class of shares. Management acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without sales commission or other compensation, except as described below for Class A and Class C shares, and bears advertising and promotion expenses.
However, Management receives fees from 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
48
administrative and other services provided to these classes, Management's activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, Management receives from each of these respective classes a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of Class A's and 1.00% of Class C's average daily net assets. Management 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.
Class A shares of the Fund are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.25%. Class A shares of the Fund are generally sold with no contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), except that a CDSC of 1.00% applies to certain redemptions made within 18 months following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with no initial sales charge and a 1.00% CDSC if shares are sold within one year after purchase.
For the six months ended April 30, 2015, Management, acting as underwriter and broker-dealer, received net initial sales charges from the purchase of Class A shares and CDSCs from the redemption of Class A and Class C shares as follows:
| | Underwriter | | Broker-Dealer | |
| | Net Initial Sales Charges | | CDSC | | Net Initial Sales Charges | | CDSC | |
Class A | | $ | 327 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | |
Class C | | | — | | | | 93 | | | | — | | | | — | | |
On October 23, 2014, Management made a voluntary contribution of $15,984 to the Fund. These amounts were paid in connection with losses incurred in the execution of trades.
Note C—Securities Transactions:
During the six months ended April 30, 2015, there were purchases and sales of long-term securities (excluding interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, forward contracts and financial futures contracts) of $100,229,445 and $98,309,355, respectively.
Note D—Fund Share Transactions:
Share activity for the six months ended April 30, 2015 and for the year ended October 31, 2014 was as follows:

z A zero balance, if any, reflects an actual amount rounding to less than 1,000.
Other: At April 30, 2015, Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund, Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund and Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund, which are also managed by Management, held 0.7%, 0.9% and 80.5%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Fund. In addition, at April 30, 2015 there was an affiliated investor owning 0.05% of the Fund's outstanding shares.

Note E—Lines of Credit:
At April 30, 2015, the 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. Other investment companies managed by Management also participate in this line of credit on the same terms. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Fund 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 payable, and interest charged on any borrowing made by the Fund and other costs incurred by the Fund. Because several mutual funds participate in the Credit Facility, there is no assurance that the 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 April 30, 2015. During the period from January 9, 2015 (the commencement date of the Credit Facility) through April 30, 2015, the Fund did not utilize this line of credit. The Credit Facility replaced the State Street lines of credit referred to below.
During the reporting period, prior to the commencement of the Credit Facility, and on January 9, 2015, the Fund was a participant in a committed, unsecured $300,000,000 line of credit with State Street and an uncommitted, unsecured $100,000,000 line of credit with State Street, both to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the Fund did not utilize either line of credit with State Street.
Note F—Unaudited Financial Information:
The financial information included in this interim report is taken from the records of the Fund without audit by an independent registered public accounting firm. Annual reports contain audited financial statements.

†† Total return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV on the performance of the Fund during each fiscal period and assumes income dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested, but does 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 may 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.
^ The date investment operations commenced.
‡ Organization expense, which is a non-recurring expense, is included in these ratios on a non-annualized basis.
@ Calculated based on the average number of shares outstanding during each fiscal period.
* Annualized.
** Not annualized.
# 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.
