Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for the Neuberger Berman Income Funds.
While growth was far from robust, the U.S. economic expansion continued over the reporting period. Helping to underpin the economy were overall solid consumer spending, gains in the labor market and generally expanding activity in the manufacturing sector. After raising interest rates in December 2015, the Federal Reserve (Fed) remained on hold throughout the reporting period.
All told, the overall U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 4.37% during the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. Non-Treasury debt securities produced positive total returns during the period. Investors who assumed more risk were rewarded, as lower rated securities generally outperformed their higher rated counterparts.
Looking ahead, we anticipate seeing the U.S. economy expand at a relatively modest pace, but still better than many other developed countries. While inflation could edge higher, we do not anticipate a meaningful uptick from today's levels. Against this backdrop, we believe the Fed will take a very measured approach in terms of normalizing monetary policy.
We believe our fixed income funds are appropriately positioned given our views on the economy and interest rates. In our opinion, it remains appropriate to maintain overweight positions in non-Treasuries relative to the Funds' benchmarks. We also have a generally positive outlook for the municipal market. As in the past, we will actively manage our fixed income funds and adjust their portfolios as we feel appropriate given the changing economic and investment backdrop.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.
Sincerely,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0000898432-17-000006/j16204261_ca016.jpg)

Core Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a 4.67% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which provided a 4.37% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The global fixed income market generated a positive return during the reporting period, although with meaningful volatility throughout. In the U.S., the market reacted to mixed economic data, uncertain timing of future U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes, an unusual U.S. election cycle and numerous geopolitical issues such as "Brexit." For the 12-month period, short-term U.S. Treasury yields moved higher, whereas longer-term rates declined. Overseas, the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan continued to pursue highly accommodative monetary policies given weak growth and ongoing concerns over deflation. The U.S. dollar fluctuated over the period, particularly in response to the evolving outlook for Fed rate increases. Investor risk appetite was weak in the first part of the Fund's fiscal year but subsequently rebounded. Investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, as well as emerging markets debt, ultimately produced the strongest returns.
The Fund's allocation to investment grade corporate bonds contributed to results. The sector's recovery from earlier weakness was driven by demand from investors searching for yield in an otherwise low rate environment. In addition, allocations to non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) were beneficial, as was the Fund's position in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). On the downside, the Fund's underweight in interest rate sensitivity was negative for performance relative to the benchmark as longer-term rates rallied during the period. The Fund's use of futures contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
There were several adjustments made to the portfolio during the period. We initially increased the Fund's allocation to investment grade corporate bonds as their spreads widened over the first three months of the fiscal year. We later pared this allocation subsequent to the strong rebound. Elsewhere, we increased the Fund's allocation to TIPS while reducing agency MBS and CMBS. Finally, we moderately increased the Fund's duration, although it remained shorter than that of the benchmark.
In our opinion, interest rates and other fixed income subsectors are close to fair value, although the results of the U.S. election may still influence valuations and our outlook. We believe the Fed will take a measured approach in terms of normalizing monetary policy. The Fed has also signaled that the longer-term path for the federal funds rate will lead to a lower terminal level than has historically been the case. Our generally positive outlook for the credit market remains intact, as we do not anticipate a recession and we believe defaults outside lower rated companies in the commodity sectors should remain relatively low. The outlook for future returns, correlations among different asset classes and volatility remains uncertain. Against this backdrop, we believe maintaining an active approach will be key and allow us to capitalize on potential opportunities.
Sincerely,
THANOS BARDAS, DAVID M. BROWN, ANDREW A. JOHNSON, THOMAS J. MARTHALER AND BRADLEY C. TANK

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("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 October 31, 2016, the 30-day SEC yields were 1.67%, 2.06%, 1.59% and 0.93% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 1.33%, 1.88%, 1.43% and 0.77% for Investor Class, 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 2015 were 1.15%, 0.62%, 1.01% and 1.76% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.86%, 0.46%, 0.86% and 1.61% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2016 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.

Emerging Markets Debt Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund Institutional Class generated a 12.17% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and outperformed its benchmark, a custom 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 delivered a 10.98% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The Fund and the benchmark posted positive returns after an initial decline. Weakness in currencies and spread widening caused concerns early in the period. This reversed by February as commodity prices recovered from recent lows, concerns about China abated, Emerging Market FX's (EMFX's) January bounce gained momentum into the summer, and emerging markets growth trajectory continued its positive trend. What followed was a recovery in emerging markets debt across asset classes and strong inflows supported the positive momentum in the asset class.
Most of the emerging markets countries in the local currency benchmark posted positive returns. Following a prolonged period of EMFX revaluation, currencies stabilized supporting performance. Inflation also stabilized: high yielding emerging market countries saw improvements in their macroeconomic fundamentals helping to steady rates, while lower yielding countries benefited from lower core yields. Within hard currency markets, sovereign and corporate debt both delivered positive returns. The positive effect from the underlying U.S. Treasury component was combined with the positive effect from tighter spreads in both markets.
With regards to Fund performance, bottom-up allocations across local currency debt, hard currency sovereign debt and corporate debt contributed to performance, while tactical asset allocation was slightly negative to the overall performance. Tactically, we began with an underweight in local currency and moved overweight in May. Within hard currency we had an overweight position in sovereign debt at the beginning of the period and moved to neutral by September, and maintained an underweight exposure to corporates throughout.
Within the hard currency sovereign space, country allocation drove performance with added support from security selection. The main contributors were the overweight exposures to Argentina and Ecuador and underweight exposure to the Philippines. However, the underweight exposure in Venezuela and overweight in Belize detracted. In corporate debt, positioning in Brazil and security selection in Mexico were positive drivers, while positioning in metals and mining detracted from performance. Finally, in the local currency space, positioning in local rates added value, due largely to our overweight local duration, particularly in some higher yielding markets such as Brazil and Russia. In Brazil, local yields trended down over the period with the Michel Temer government taking over from Dilma Roussef and driving structural reforms while inflation and current account deficit started to turn around supporting returns. Russia was positive as inflation expectations have begun to moderate. However, emerging markets currencies detracted from performance, mainly through our underweight in the South African rand and overweights in the Colombian peso and Turkish lira.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency and swap contracts contributed to performance during the reporting period.
Over the past 12 months, emerging markets have been supported by a modest recovery in commodities prices and in reduced risks to financial stability from slower growth in China. While the recent rise in core market yields is putting pressure on emerging local bonds, the declining inflation differential between emerging markets and the U.S. as well as the ample real rate premium remain supportive for local rates. Meanwhile the improving growth trend in several emerging countries and the strong improvements in current account balances have been providing support for emerging currencies. This has occurred while emerging market sovereign credit quality has been supported by strong public sector balance sheets and low external debt ratios. However, the U.S. presidential election introduced more uncertainty over current policies and trade relations, particularly with Mexico and China. We think the key risks to our view continue to
5
be increased policy risks in developed markets and renewed concerns regarding the macro outlook in China resulting in a deceleration in global growth and heightened risk aversion.

Floating Rate Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 4.52% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and underperformed its benchmark, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, which provided a 6.53% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The senior floating rate bank loan market posted positive results during the reporting period. Supporting the asset class were overall solid fundamentals, relatively low defaults and indications from the Federal Reserve (Fed) that it would take a measured approach to policy accommodation. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, securities rated B in the benchmark index returned 6.17%, whereas BB rated and CCC rated securities returned 5.16% and 14.48%, respectively.
The Fund tactically adjusted its position in non-floating rate securities during the reporting period. We have the flexibility to allocate up to 20% of the portfolio in these securities, and usually invest this allocation in fixed-rate senior bonds. Relative value between floating rate loans and bonds fluctuated during the reporting period given the increase in market volatility. Against this backdrop, the Fund's non-floating rate allocation decreased during the period.
In terms of the Fund's credit quality biases, asset allocation from the overweight to BB rated securities and the underweight to CCC rated securities generally detracted from performance. Security selection of CCC and B rated issues detracted as well.
From a sector perspective, security selection within electronics-electrical and radio & television, as well as an underweight to nonferrous metals-minerals, detracted the most from performance during the reporting period. In contrast, security selection within utilities and financial intermediaries, as well as an underweight to forest products, were the largest contributors to performance.
Moderate U.S. economic growth could lead to rising interest rates which, in our view, would be positive for senior floating rate loans. As has been the case over the last year, we believe volatility is likely to remain elevated at times. That being said, we think the market's expectations of ongoing economic recovery, rising interest rates and a low default environment are likely to be key drivers of the loan market's total return potential. We believe commodity related issuers are likely to modestly increase U.S. senior floating rate loan default rates in 2016-2017. However, we believe loan default rates should remain below long-term averages as the market's credit quality remains strong. What's more, near-term loan maturities have been significantly reduced through refinancing activity.
Sincerely,
THOMAS P. O'REILLY, JOSEPH P. LYNCH, STEPHEN J. CASEY AND DANIEL DOYLE

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers 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 October 31, 2016, the 30-day SEC yields were 3.14%, 2.64% and 2.02% 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 2.92%, 2.44% and 1.81% 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 2015 were 0.84%, 1.22% and 1.96% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.70%, 1.07% and 1.82% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2016 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.

High Income Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 7.90% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, and underperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index, which provided a 10.18% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
After initially declining, the high yield bond market then posted positive returns over the last nine months of the reporting period. The turnaround was driven by a number of factors, led by a rebound in commodity prices that began in February 2016 and carried through to the end of the period. Over that time, investor demand was generally robust as they looked to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. At the same time, new issuance declined and, outside of the energy and metals/mining sectors, defaults were well below their historical average. Within the high yield market, securities rated CCC or lower (relatively lower rating) and securities rated BB (a higher rating) returned 18.49% and 8.90%, respectively.1
From a sector perspective, security selection within media/broadcast and diversified financial services, as well as an underweight to metals/mining, detracted the most from performance. In contrast, an overweight to gas distribution and gaming, as well as security selection within support/services, contributed the most to results.
In terms of the Fund's quality biases, its holdings of securities rated B was generally positive for performance. This was partially offset by the negative impact from the Fund's security selection within BB and CCC rated securities.
We made several adjustments to the portfolio during the reporting period. The Fund's allocation to securities rated BBB increased due to credit ratings' upgrades. We reduced our allocation to securities rated CCC, moving to an approximately 3% underweight versus the benchmark. From a sector perspective, the Fund slightly increased its allocation to higher quality energy and metals/mining securities.
In our opinion, the high yield bond market continues to compensate investors for default risk. As expected, the lengthy, albeit relatively tepid economic expansion continued during the third quarter. While GDP accelerated in the third quarter, growth is anticipated to remain fairly modest for the year as a whole. Turning to the Federal Reserve (Fed), in our view the market continues to price in an interest rate hike prior to the end of the year. Regardless, we believe the Fed will take a very measured approach in terms of monetary policy normalization. We believe high yield defaults in 2016-2017 will be well below historical averages as credit fundamentals, in our opinion, remain reasonable. Finally, we believe the volatility we have experienced in recent months could continue as the year progresses. This may be triggered by uncertainties regarding global economic growth, future monetary policy, geopolitical issues and the fallout from the November U.S. elections.
Sincerely,
THOMAS P. O'REILLY, RUSS COVODE, DANIEL DOYLE, AND PATRICK FLYNN

Municipal High Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 6.70% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and outperformed its benchmark, a custom blend composed of the 65%/35% combination of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Index, which provided a 5.64% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The municipal bond market posted a positive return during the reporting period, but lagged the overall taxable bond market. Fundamentals in the municipal market remained stable overall as the U.S. economy continued to modestly expand. However, federal and state tax revenues moderated in 2016, which bears close scrutiny going forward. The market was also supported by declining long-term Treasury yields and continued policy accommodation by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed). While new supply meaningfully increased as the reporting period progressed, this was generally met with solid demand. All told, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 4.06% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. In contrast, the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.37% for the same period.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fund maintained a duration longer than its benchmark. Given the relative steepness of the municipal yield curve, this positioning allowed the Fund to capture the bulk of available yield. Additionally, the Fund's duration positioning was beneficial as longer-term municipals outperformed their shorter-term counterparts.
The Fund's credit biases were additive for results. In particular, having an overweight to securities rated BBB and below benefited performance. From a sector perspective, overweights to revenue bonds added to results as they largely outperformed general obligation bonds. In particular, an overweight and security selection of tobacco securitization bonds contributed to performance.
A number of changes were made to the Fund during the reporting period. In anticipation of an uptick in market volatility and weakening technicals, we increased the Fund's allocation to higher-rated securities. In addition, we found this portion of the municipal market to be attractively valued. We also sold a number of strong performers that in our opinion had become fairly valued or overvalued.
Looking ahead, we maintain an overall positive outlook for the municipal bond market. We believe the U.S. economy will continue to expand at a moderate pace and the Fed will take a very measured approach in terms of normalizing monetary policy. Despite some weakening late in the period, we believe technical factors for the municipal market will improve in the coming months. In particular, we anticipate seeing moderating supply and solid demand from retail investors. We continue to believe that security selection and active yield curve management could be key drivers of returns for the remainder of the year and in 2017.
Sincerely,
JAMES L. ISELIN, S. BLAKE MILLER AND ERIC J. PELIO

Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 3.09% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year G.O. Index, which provided a 3.04% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund maintained a barbell approach (investing in shorter and longer maturities). In contrast, the Fund's benchmark was concentrated in the six- to eight-year portion of the curve. Yield curve positioning contributed to results as the municipal curve flattened over the period. In general, the Fund's duration positioning was slightly shorter than the benchmark and did not meaningfully impact performance.
The Fund's credit biases were additive for results.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("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.

For the period ended October 31, 2016, the 30-day SEC yields were 1.04%, 1.19%, 0.79% and 0.08% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The tax-equivalent yields were 1.84%, 2.10%, 1.40% and 0.14% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for a shareholder in the highest federal income tax bracket (39.6% plus 3.8% Medicare contribution tax).9 Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 0.82%, 1.01%, 0.60% and -0.11% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. A negative 30-day SEC yield results when a fund's accrued expenses exceed its income for the relevant period. Please note, in such instances the 30-day SEC yield may not equal the Fund's actual rate of income earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, a per share distribution may still be paid to shareholders.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2015 were 0.84%, 0.66%, 1.04% and 1.80% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.65%, 0.50%, 0.87% and 1.62% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2016 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.

New York Municipal Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 3.38% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year G.O. Index, which provided a 3.04% return for the same period.
The municipal bond market posted a positive return during the reporting period, but lagged the overall taxable bond market. Fundamentals in the municipal market remained stable overall as the U.S. economy continued to modestly expand. However, federal and state tax revenues moderated in 2016, which bears close scrutiny going forward. The market was also supported by declining long-term Treasury yields and continued policy accommodation by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed). While new supply meaningfully increased as the reporting period progressed, this was generally met with solid demand. All told, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 4.06% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. In contrast, the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.37% for the same period.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fund maintained a barbell approach (investing in shorter and longer maturities). In contrast, the Fund's benchmark was concentrated in the six- to eight-year portion of the curve. Yield curve positioning contributed to results as the municipal curve flattened over the period. In general, the Fund's duration positioning was slightly shorter than the benchmark and did not meaningfully impact performance.
The Fund's credit biases were additive for results. In particular, having an overweight, relative to the benchmark, to securities rated BBB benefited results as lower rated issues outperformed their higher rated counterparts. From a sector perspective, an overweight to revenue bonds added to results as they largely outperformed general obligation bonds.
Some changes were made to the Fund's holdings during the reporting period. We found higher rated securities to be attractively valued, and in anticipation of an uptick in market volatility and weakening technicals, adjusted some positions accordingly.
Looking ahead, we maintain an overall positive outlook for the municipal bond market. We believe the U.S. economy will continue to expand at a moderate pace and the Fed will take a very measured approach in terms of normalizing monetary policy. Despite some weakening late in the period, we believe technical factors for the municipal market will improve in the coming months. In particular, we anticipate seeing moderating supply and solid demand from retail investors. We continue to believe that security selection and active yield curve management could be key drivers of returns for the remainder of the year and in 2017.
Sincerely,
JAMES L. ISELIN AND S. BLAKE MILLER

Short Duration Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 0.98% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which provided a 1.31% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The U.S. fixed income market generated a positive return during the reporting period. The market experienced periods of volatility given mixed economic data, questions regarding the timing of future U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes, the potential impact from "Brexit," uncertainties surrounding the November elections and numerous geopolitical issues. Against this backdrop, short-term Treasury yields moved higher, whereas longer-term rates declined over the period. Investor risk appetite was generally robust over the Fund's fiscal year, with lower rated, higher yielding securities generating the strongest returns.
The primary detractors from the Fund's performance during the period were its duration and yield curve positioning. The Fund remained defensively positioned, with a duration shorter than that of its benchmark. This was partially driven by an underweight to the three-year area of the yield curve. In our view, this positioning was appropriate as the three-year area has historically tended to lag the market as investors anticipate future interest rate hikes. This positioning detracted from results as periods of risk aversion and other factors drove yields in that area of the yield curve slightly lower. Elsewhere, having a higher credit quality bias for the Fund's investment grade corporate bond holdings was not rewarded, as investors stretched for yield and lower quality issues outperformed. On the upside, the Fund's allocations to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) were additive for performance.
We maintained the Fund's overall positioning over the period, with an overweight to non-Treasury securities and underweights to Treasuries and agency debt. We reduced the Fund's Treasury exposure and slighted pared its exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities. In contrast, we increased its allocations to corporate bonds, CMBS and ABS. We actively participated in the investment grade corporate bond new issuance market as we found attractive valuations and sold certain positions that we felt were fully valued and where we felt there were potential event risks. Finally, we opportunistically increased the Fund's duration, although it remained shorter than that of the benchmark.
The Fund also used futures contracts to assist in managing duration during the period. The Fund's use of futures contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
In our view, most fixed income sectors and rates are close to fair value. We believe the Fed will be true to its word and take a very measured approach in terms of normalizing monetary policy, with perhaps two interest rate hikes in 2017. The Fed has also signaled that the longer-term path for the federal funds rate will be lower than has historically been the case. Our generally positive outlook for the credit market remains intact, as we do not anticipate a recession and we think defaults outside lower rated companies in the commodity sectors should remain relatively low. The outlook for future returns, correlations among different asset classes and volatility remains uncertain. Against this backdrop, we believe maintaining a flexible approach will be key and allow us to capitalize on potential opportunities.
Sincerely,
THOMAS SONTAG AND MICHAEL FOSTER

Short Duration High Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 4.92% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and underperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year BB-B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, which provided a 6.80% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
After initially declining, the high yield bond market then posted positive returns over the last nine months of the reporting period. The turnaround was driven by a number of factors, led by a rebound in commodity prices that began in February 2016 and carried through to the end of the period. Over that time, investor demand was generally robust as they looked to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. At the same time, new issuance declined and, outside of the energy and metals/mining sectors, defaults were well below their historical average. Within the high yield market, securities rated CCC or lower (relatively lower rating) and securities rated BB (a higher rating) returned 18.49% and 8.90%, respectively.1
For the Fund, the sectors that detracted the most from absolute performance were energy, airlines and restaurants. The sectors that were the most beneficial to absolute performance during the reporting period were telecommunications, health care and gas distribution. From a quality perspective, approximately 96% of the portfolio was held in securities rated B and higher and cash. This positioning was accretive to the Fund's absolute performance.
During the reporting period, the Fund slightly increased its allocation to higher quality packaging and metals/mining securities, while reducing its allocation to healthcare and energy.
In our opinion, the high yield bond market continues to compensate investors for default risk. As expected, the lengthy, albeit relatively tepid economic expansion continued during the third quarter. While GDP accelerated in the third quarter, growth is anticipated to remain fairly modest for the year as a whole. Turning to the Federal Reserve (Fed), in our view the market continues to price in an interest rate hike prior to the end of the year. Regardless, we believe the Fed will take a very measured approach in terms of monetary policy normalization. We believe high yield defaults in 2016-2017 will be well below historical averages as credit fundamentals, in our opinion, remain reasonable. Finally, we believe the volatility we have experienced in recent months could continue as the year progresses. This may be triggered by uncertainties regarding global economic growth, future monetary policy, geopolitical issues and the fallout from the November U.S. elections.
Sincerely,
THOMAS P. O'REILLY, RUSS COVODE, DANIEL DOYLE, AND PATRICK FLYNN

Strategic Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 6.38% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which provided a 4.37% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The global fixed income market generated a positive return during the reporting period, although with meaningful volatility throughout. In the U.S., the market reacted to mixed economic data, uncertain timing of future U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes, an unusual U.S. election cycle and numerous geopolitical issues such as "Brexit." For the 12-month period, short-term U.S. Treasury yields moved higher, whereas longer-term rates declined. Overseas, the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan continued to pursue highly accommodative monetary policies given weak growth and ongoing concerns over deflation. The U.S. dollar fluctuated over the period, particularly in response to the evolving outlook for Fed interest rate increases. Investor risk appetite was weak in the first part of the Fund's fiscal year but subsequently rebounded. Investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, as well as emerging markets debt, ultimately produced the strongest returns.
The Fund's allocations to high yield corporate bonds and investment grade corporate bonds contributed to results. Their recovery from earlier weakness was driven by demand from investors searching for yield in an otherwise low rate environment. In addition, an allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) was beneficial, as was the Fund's position in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). On the downside, the Fund's underweight in interest rate sensitivity was negative for performance relative to the benchmark as longer-term rates declined during the period. The Fund's aggregate use of futures and swap contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
There were several adjustments made to the portfolio during the period. We initially increased the Fund's allocation to investment grade and high yield corporate bonds as their spreads widened over the first three months of the fiscal year. We later pared this allocation subsequent to the sector's strong rebound. Elsewhere, we increased the Fund's allocation to TIPS, while reducing agency MBS, emerging markets debt, bank loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). Finally, we increased the Fund's duration, although it remained shorter than that of the benchmark.
In our view, interest rates and other fixed income subsectors are close to fair value, although the results of the U.S. election may still influence valuations and our outlook. We believe the Fed will take a measured approach in terms of normalizing monetary policy. The Fed has also signaled that the longer-term path for the federal funds rate will lead to a lower terminal level than has historically been the case. Our generally positive outlook for the credit market remains intact, as we do not anticipate a recession and we think defaults outside lower-rated companies in the commodity sectors should remain relatively low. The outlook for future returns, correlations among different asset classes and volatility remains uncertain. Against this backdrop, we believe maintaining a flexible approach will be key and allow us to capitalize on potential opportunities.

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("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 October 31, 2016, the 30-day SEC yields were 2.30%, 2.65%, 2.15%, 1.56% and 2.72% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 2.28%, 2.63%, 1.52% and 2.71% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. Absent repayment, the 30-day SEC yield would have been 2.16% for Class A shares.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2015 were 1.23%, 0.87%, 1.26%, 2.00% and 0.80% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 1.15%, 0.80%, 1.20%, 1.90% and 0.73% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2016 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.

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

Unconstrained Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a 0.79% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. In contrast, its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, provided a 0.31% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The global fixed income market generated a positive return during the reporting period, although with meaningful volatility throughout. In the U.S., the market reacted to mixed economic data, uncertain timing of future U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes, an unusual U.S. election cycle and numerous geopolitical issues such as "Brexit." For the 12-month period, short-term U.S. Treasury yields moved higher, whereas longer-term rates declined. Overseas, the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan continued to pursue highly accommodative monetary policies given weak growth and ongoing concerns over deflation. The U.S. dollar fluctuated over the period, particularly in response to the evolving outlook for Fed interest rate increases. Investor risk appetite was weak in the first part of the Fund's fiscal year but subsequently rebounded. Investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, as well as emerging markets debt, ultimately produced the strongest returns.
The Fund's allocations to high yield corporate bonds and investment grade corporate bonds contributed to results. Their recovery from earlier weakness was driven by demand from investors searching for yield in an otherwise low rate environment. In addition, an allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) was beneficial. On the downside, the Fund's negative duration posture was detrimental for performance as sovereign yields rallied during the period. Our bearish positioning in emerging markets debt was also a detractor.
During the reporting period, the Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, options on futures and swap contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
There were several adjustments made to the portfolio during the period. We initially increased the Fund's allocations to high yield corporate bonds and investment grade corporate bonds as their spreads widened over the first three months of the fiscal year. We later pared these allocations subsequent to their strong rebound. Elsewhere, we decreased the Fund's allocation to non-agency MBS, and reduced its emerging markets debt exposure. Finally, we moderately increased the Fund's duration, although it remained negative as a result of short positions in Germany and Japan.
In our view, interest rates and other fixed income subsectors are close to fair value, although the results of the U.S. election may still influence valuations and our outlook. We believe the Fed will take a measured approach in terms of normalizing monetary policy. The Fed has also signaled that the longer-term path for the federal funds rate will lead to a lower terminal level than has historically been the case. Our generally positive outlook for the credit market remains intact, as we do not anticipate a recession and we think defaults outside lower-rated companies in the commodity sectors should remain relatively low. The outlook for future returns, correlations among different asset classes and volatility remains uncertain. Against this backdrop, we believe maintaining a flexible approach will be key and allow us to capitalize on potential opportunities.

For the period ended October 31, 2016, the 30-day SEC yields were 1.90%, 1.44%, 0.75% and 1.95% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been -3.27%, 0.81%, -0.30% and 1.71% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. A negative 30-day SEC yield results when a fund's accrued expenses exceed its income for the relevant period. Please note, in such instances the 30-day SEC yield may not equal the Fund's actual rate of income earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, a per share distribution may still be paid to shareholders.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses (Unaudited)
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (if applicable), and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in U.S. dollars) of investing in a Fund and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This table is designed to provide information regarding costs related to your investments. The following examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended October 31, 2016 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.

(a) 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 such inputs used in formulating such quotation.
As of the year ended October 31, 2016, certain securities were transferred from one level (as of October 31, 2015) to another. Based on beginning of period market values as of November 1, 2015, approximately $1,000 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2. Transfers of corporate bonds out of Level 3 were due to the pricing methodology being no longer based on a single broker quote. As of the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund had no transfers between Levels 1 and 2.

Notes to Financial Statements Income Funds
Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
1 General: Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Instrument dated March 27, 2014. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Each of Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund ("Core Bond"), Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund ("Emerging Markets Debt"), Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund ("Floating Rate Income"), Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund ("High Income"), Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund ("Municipal High Income"), Neuberger Berman Municipal 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") is a separate operating series of the Trust. Each Fund (except Emerging Markets Debt, New York Municipal Income and Unconstrained Bond) is diversified. Four Funds offer Investor Class shares, two offer Trust Class shares, eleven offer Institutional Class shares, ten offer Class A shares, ten offer Class C shares, one offers Class R3 shares and three offer Class R6 shares. Municipal High Income had no operations until June 22, 2015, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of its shares under the 1933 Act. The Neuberger Berman Income Funds' Board of Trustees (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 Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA" or "Management") to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2 Portfolio valuation: In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of the Funds are carried at the value that Management believes a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds' investments, some of which are discussed below. 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)
212
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 for long and short positions is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid or offer quotations, respectively, 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 Bonds. Inputs used to value corporate debt securities generally include relative credit information, observed market movements, sector news, U.S. Treasury yield curve or relevant benchmark curve, 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").
U.S. Treasury Obligations. Inputs used to value U.S. Treasury securities generally include quotes from several inter-dealer brokers and Other Market Information.
U.S. Government Agency Securities. Inputs used to value U.S. Government Agency securities generally include obtaining benchmark quotes and Other Market Information.
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 and exchange-traded purchased option contracts, for which market quotations are readily available, is generally determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on the latest sale price quoted on a principal exchange or market for that security (Level 1 inputs). Securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market are normally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") provided by NASDAQ each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., Eastern Time, unless that price is outside the range of the "inside" bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, NASDAQ will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer. Because of delays in reporting trades, the NOCP may not be based on the price of the last trade to occur before the market closes. If there is no sale of a security on a particular day, the independent pricing services may value the security based on market quotations.
The value of forward contracts is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on actual traded currency rates on independent pricing services' networks, along with other traded and quoted currency rates provided to the pricing services by leading market participants (Level 2 inputs).
213
The value of loan assignments is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on broker quotes (generally Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available).
The value of futures 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 interest rate swaps is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on references to the underlying rates including the local overnight index swap rate and the respective interbank offered forward rate to produce the daily price. The present value is calculated based off of expected cash flows based on swap parameters along with reference to the underlying yield curve and reference rate (generally Level 2 inputs).
The value of credit default swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using a model that considers a number of factors, which may include default probabilities, credit curves, recovery rates and cash flows (Level 2 inputs).
Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.
Investments in non-exchange traded investment companies are valued using the respective fund's daily calculated net asset value 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 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, securities within the same industry with recent highly correlated performance, 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 normally translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on days the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business. The Board has approved the use of Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data, Inc. ("Interactive") to evaluate the prices of foreign debt securities as of the time as of which a Fund's share price is calculated. Interactive utilizes benchmark spread and yield curves and evaluates available market activity from the local close to the time as of which a Fund's share price is calculated (Level 2 inputs) to assist in determining prices for certain foreign debt securities. In the absence of precise information about the market values of these foreign securities as of the time as of which a Fund's share price is calculated, 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.
3 Foreign currency translation: Core Bond, Emerging Markets Debt, 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 normally translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on days NYSE is open for business, to determine the value of investments, other assets and liabilities. Purchase and sale prices of securities, and income and expenses, are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net unrealized foreign currency gain (loss), if any,
214
arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates and is stated separately in the Statements of Operations.
4 Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon as a Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions (for each Fund) and foreign currency transactions (for Core Bond, Emerging Markets Debt, 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 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 each of Core Bond, High Income and Short Duration participated as a class member. The amounts of such proceeds for the year ended October 31, 2016 were $22,585, $30 and $64,731 for Core Bond, High Income and Short Duration, respectively.
5 Income tax information: Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC") by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. To the extent a Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.
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 October 31, 2016, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.
At October 31, 2016, selected fund information on a U.S. federal income tax basis was as follows:
(000's omitted) | | Cost | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | |

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.
215
As determined on October 31, 2016, 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: net operating losses; foreign currency gains and losses; amortization of bond premium; gains and losses from swaps; rollforward of swap true-up from prior years; foreign currencies and forwards; non-affiliated and affiliated capital gain reclass; non-deductible stock issuance costs; return of capital distributions; expiration of capital loss carryforwards; return of capital distributions; paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities; defaulted bond income adjustments; capital gains tax and deemed distributions on shareholder redemptions; tax adjustments related to swap contracts. 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, 2016, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:
| | Paid-in Capital | | Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) | | Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Investments | |

As of October 31, 2016, 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 Capital Gain | | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Loss Carryforwards and Deferrals | | Other Temporary Differences | | Total | |

The temporary differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: losses disallowed and recognized on wash sales and straddles; timing differences of distribution payments; defaulted bond income adjustments; delayed settlement compensation on bank loans; mark-to-market adjustments on swaps, futures and forwards; amortization of bond premium; tax adjustments related to swap contracts; and unamortized organization expenses.
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 Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") made 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, 2016, 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: | |
| | 2017 | | 2018 | | 2019 | |
Floating Rate Income | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 835,287 | | |
Short Duration | | | 8,069,282 | | | | 850,271 | | | | 1,276,932 | | |
217

| | Long-Term | | Short-Term | |
Emerging Markets Debt | | $ | 4,679,829 | | | $ | 2,411,946 | | |
Floating Rate Income | | | 10,959,306 | | | | 5,230,124 | | |
High Income | | | 158,361,746 | | | | 39,058,832 | | |
Short Duration | | | 3,859,151 | | | | 291,079 | | |
Short Duration High Income | | | 11,738,405 | | | | 3,447,243 | | |
Strategic Income | | | 44,153,154 | | | | — | | |
Unconstrained Bond | | | 2,580,838 | | | | 7,279,258 | | |
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.
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 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, Emerging Markets Debt, 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
218
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 pertaining to interest or dividends, if any, represent amounts withheld by foreign tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.
Foreign capital gains on certain foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. At October 31, 2016, Emerging Markets Debt had accrued capital gains taxes of $88,405, which is reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
11 Investments in foreign securities: Investing in foreign securities may involve sovereign and other risks, in addition to the credit and market risks normally associated with domestic securities. These additional risks include the possibility of adverse political and economic developments (including political instability, nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation) and the potentially adverse effects of unavailability of public information regarding issuers, less governmental supervision and regulation of financial markets, reduced liquidity of certain financial markets, and the lack of uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards or the application of standards that are different or less stringent than those applied in the United States. Foreign securities also may experience greater price volatility, higher rates of inflation, and delays in settlement.
12 Derivative instruments: Certain of the Funds' use of derivatives during the year ended October 31, 2016, is described below. Please see the Schedule of Investments for each Fund's open positions in derivatives, if any, at October 31, 2016. 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.
Futures contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Core Bond, Emerging Markets Debt and Short Duration used futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Strategic Income used futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device and to manage currency exposure. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Unconstrained Bond used futures to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets, currencies or securities, adjust the duration of the Fund's portfolio and to enhance returns.
At the time a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with the futures commission merchant a specified amount of cash or liquid securities, known as "initial margin," which is a percentage of the value of the futures contract being traded that is set by the exchange upon which the futures contract is traded. Each day, the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the board of trade or U.S. commodity exchange on which such futures contract is traded. Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin," to and from the broker are made on a daily basis, or as needed, as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses.
Although some futures by their terms call for actual delivery or acquisition of the underlying securities or currency, in most cases the contracts are closed out prior to delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching futures. When the contracts are closed, 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.
219
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 year ended October 31, 2016, Emerging Markets Debt used forward contracts to manage or adjust views on foreign exchange rate movements and currency exposure, to add value by applying foreign exchange leverage, and to gain exposure to the markets where the portfolio managers believe these instruments provide better liquidity and value than bonds. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Unconstrained Bond used forward contracts to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, hedge risk 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) on forward foreign currency contracts" in the Statements of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in a Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and the risk the counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligation.
Credit default swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Strategic Income used credit default swaps for economic hedging purposes, including as a sector allocation adjustment mechanism towards credit. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Emerging Markets Debt used credit default swaps as a relative value trade, such as having a long position in Brazilian sovereign debt while funding it with a short position in Mexican credit default swaps, to take advantage of the portfolio managers' views on sovereign credit spreads and spreads in emerging market corporates, or on the portfolio spread duration (with emerging market credit default swaps) without using cash. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Unconstrained Bond used credit default swaps for economic hedging purposes, to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets or securities and to enhance returns. When a Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, it is entitled to receive the notional amount of the swap from the counterparty if a credit event occurs. In return, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund would have spent the stream of payments and received no proceeds from the contract. When a Fund is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make (or the risk of loss) would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Fund may add economic leverage to its portfolio because, in
220
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.
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 clearinghouse, the original swap is extinguished and replaced with a swap with the clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund's exposure to the credit risk of the original counterparty. A Fund typically will be required to post specified levels of both initial and variation margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared derivative transaction. The daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the centrally clearing party. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation and net interest received or paid on swap contracts to determine the fair value of swaps.
Interest rate swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Emerging Markets Debt used interest rate swaps to manage or adjust interest rate risk of the Fund, to take advantage of the portfolio managers' views on interest rates and market pricing of future monetary policy, to obtain exposure on a maturity horizon where bonds are illiquid or are unavailable, and to add value by obtaining leveraged rate positions. Under the terms of interest rate swaps, the Fund agrees to pay the swap counterparty a fixed-rate payment in exchange for the counterparty's paying the Fund a variable-rate payment, or the Fund agrees to pay the swap counterparty a variable-rate payment in exchange for the counterparty's paying the Fund a fixed-rate payment. The fixed-rate and variable rate payment flows are 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 swaps, 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.
Cross currency swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Emerging Markets Debt used cross currency swap transactions 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
221
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.
Options on exchange-traded financial futures contracts: A Fund may write or purchase options on exchange-traded financial futures contracts ("futures option") to hedge an existing position or future investment, for speculative purposes or to manage exposure to market movements. A futures option is an option contract in which the underlying instrument is a specific financial futures contract. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Unconstrained Bond used futures options 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, adjust the duration of the Fund's portfolio and to enhance returns.
At October 31, 2016, the Funds had the following derivatives (which did not qualify as hedging instruments under ASC 815), grouped by primary risk exposure:

Management has concluded that the Funds, except Core Bond, Emerging Markets Debt, Short Duration, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond, did not hold any derivative instruments during the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 to only Emerging Markets Debt and Unconstrained Bond at October 31, 2016. Emerging Markets Debt's and Unconstrained Bond's derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type are reported gross in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present Emerging Markets Debt's and 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 Emerging Markets Debt and Unconstrained Bond for assets and pledged by Emerging Markets Debt and Unconstrained Bond for liabilities as of October 31, 2016.

(c) Net Amount represents amounts under-collateralized to each counterparty as of October 31, 2016.
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 Investment Advisers LLC: Neuberger Berman Income Funds and Management have obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") an exemptive order that permits the Funds to invest in both affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), 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 October 31, 2016, Strategic Income invested in Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund (an "Underlying Fund") (see Note F).
228
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 year ended October 31, 2016, management fees waived under this Arrangement are reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Investment management fees waived." For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, 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 | | $ | 445,701 | | | $ | 1,165,173 | | |
15 Investment company securities and exchange-traded funds: The Funds may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), within the limitations prescribed by the 1940 Act or pursuant to 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 (see Note A-14 for more information about the exemptive order). Some ETFs seek to track the performance of a particular market index. These indices include both broad-based market indices and more narrowly-based indices, including those relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. However, some ETFs have an actively-managed investment objective. ETF shares are traded like traditional equity securities on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ. A Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, which will increase expenses and decrease returns.
16 Unfunded loan commitments: The Funds may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Funds are obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower's discretion. As of October 31, 2016, the value of unfunded loan commitments was approximately $33,000 and $18,000 for Floating Rate Income and Strategic Income, respectively, pursuant to the following loan agreements:
Floating Rate Income (000's omitted) | |
Borrower | | Principal Amount | | Value | |
Kenan Advantage Group, First Lien Term Loan, 1.50%, due 1/31/17 | | $ | 33 | | | $ | 33 | | |
Strategic Income (000's omitted) | |
Borrower | | Principal Amount | | Value | |
Kenan Advantage Group, First Lien Term Loan, 1.50%, due 1/31/17 | | $ | 18 | | | $ | 18 | | |
17 In-kind subscriptions: Under certain circumstances, and when considered to be in the best interest of a Fund, the Fund may accept portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for the purchase of Fund shares (in-kind subscription). For financial reporting and tax purposes, the cost basis of contributed securities is equal to the market value of the securities, less any applicable foreign security taxes, on the date of contribution. In-kind subscriptions result in no gain or loss and no tax consequences for a Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Floating Rate Income accepted $25,716,866 of in-kind subscriptions.
18 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.
229
Note B—Investment 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, each Fund pays Management a fee according to the following table:
Investment Management Fee as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets:
| | First $250 million | | Next $250 million | | Next $250 million | | Next $250 million | | Next $500 million | | Next $500 million | | Thereafter | |

(b) 0.40% effective December 1, 2016 for Strategic Income.
Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2016, the investment management fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of each Fund's average daily net assets, as follows:
| | Effective Rate | |

Municipal Intermediate Bond | | | 0.25 | % | |
New York Municipal Income | | | 0.25 | % | |
Short Duration | | | 0.25 | % | |
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 exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, if any (commitment fees relating to borrowings are treated as interest for purposes of this exclusion); 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 and expenses 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 year ended October 31, 2016, there was no repayment to Management under these agreements.

Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL"), as the sub-adviser to Emerging Markets Debt and Unconstrained Bond, is retained by Management to choose each Fund's investments and handle its day-to-day business for the portion of each Fund's assets allocated to it by Management, and receives a monthly fee paid by Management. As investment manager, Management is responsible for overseeing the investment activities of NBEL. Several individuals who are Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of NBEL and/or Management.
Prior to January 1, 2016, Management retained Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI") to serve as the sub-adviser to certain Funds. NBFI, as the sub-adviser to High Income, Municipal Intermediate Bond, Short Duration and Strategic Income, was retained by Management through December 31, 2015 to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to each Fund it sub-advised. NBFI, as the sub-adviser to Core Bond, Floating Rate Income, Municipal High Income, New York Municipal Income and Short Duration High Income, was retained by Management through December 31, 2015 to provide day-to-day investment management services and received a monthly fee paid by Management. NBFI, as the sub-adviser to Emerging Markets Debt and Unconstrained Bond, was retained by Management through December 31, 2015 to choose each Fund's investments and handle its day-to-day business for the portion of each Fund's assets allocated to it by Management, and received a monthly fee paid by Management. As a result of the entity consolidation described on page 38 of this Annual Report, the services previously provided by NBFI under the subadvisory agreements are being provided by NBIA as of January 1, 2016.
Each Fund also has a distribution agreement with Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger Berman") with respect to each class of shares. Neuberger Berman acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without sales commission or other compensation, except as described below, and bears advertising and promotion expenses.
However, Neuberger Berman 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, Neuberger Berman's activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, Neuberger Berman 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, Emerging Markets Debt Class A's, Floating Rate Income Class A's, High Income Class A's, Municipal 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, Emerging Markets Debt Class C's, Floating Rate Income Class C's, High Income Class C's, Municipal 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. Neuberger Berman 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.
233

z Amount less than one thousand.
Note E—Lines of Credit:
At October 31, 2016, each Fund was a participant in a syndicated committed, unsecured $700,000,000 line of credit (the "Credit Facility"), to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. Series of other investment companies managed by Management also participate in this line of credit on substantially the same terms except that some do not have access to the full amount of the Credit Facility. Interest is charged on borrowings under this Credit Facility at the higher of (a) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.00% per annum or (b) a eurodollar rate for a one-month period plus 1.00% per annum. The Credit Facility has an annual commitment fee of 0.15% per annum of the available line of credit, which is paid quarterly. Each Fund 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 the level of its access to the Credit Facility, 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 October 31, 2016. During the period ended October 31, 2016, none of the Funds utilized the line of credit.

Note G—Legal Matters:
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 (MG). 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 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 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. During 2009, Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund received pay downs from GM in connection with the term loan totaling approximately $5.9 million. Neuberger Berman High Income 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. Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund will incur legal expenses associated with the defense of the lawsuit.
Note H—Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.

†† 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.
# 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.
‡ Prior to January 1, 2013, each Fund had an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. The impact of expense reductions related to expense offset arrangements, if any, was less than 0.01%.

Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund
Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund
Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund
Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund
Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund
Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund and Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund, six of the series constituting Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust"), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund and Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund as of October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

Board Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements
On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA" or "Management") (including its affiliates) or the Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreements with Management (the "Management Agreement") with respect to each series (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") and the sub-advisory agreements between Management and Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreements" and collectively with the Management Agreement, the "Agreements") with respect to Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund. Throughout the process, the Independent Fund Trustees are advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management ("Independent Counsel"). At a meeting held on October 18, 2016, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreements for each Fund.
In evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed extensive materials provided by Management in response to questions submitted by the Independent Fund Trustees and Independent Counsel, and met with senior representatives of Management regarding its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Funds. The annual contract review extends over at least two regular meetings of the Board to ensure that Management and NBEL have time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Trustees may have on their initial review of the materials and that the Independent Fund Trustees have time to consider those responses.
In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered the broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year, including investment performance reports and related portfolio information for each Fund, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; brokerage and execution; compliance; and shareholder and other services provided by Management, NBEL and their affiliates. To assist the Board in its deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Board has established a Contract Review Committee comprised of Independent Fund Trustees. The Board has also established other committees that focus throughout the year on specific areas relevant to the annual contract review, such as Fund performance or compliance matters, and that are charged with specific responsibilities regarding the annual contract review. Those committees provide reports that feed into the Contract Review Committee, which reviews and takes account of the information.
The Independent Fund Trustees received from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their
270
deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Contract Review Committee and the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management and NBEL.
In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreements, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to each Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of each Fund and Fund shareholders. The Board considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to each Fund, including the following factors: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Management and NBEL; (2) the investment performance of each Fund compared to an appropriate market index and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and the profit or loss realized by Management and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been or might be realized as each Fund grows; and (5) whether fee or service levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund's shareholders. The Board's determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically in connection with the annual contract review. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the overall costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Funds, their shareholders.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of Management and NBEL, and the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management and NBEL who perform services for the Funds. The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance services. The Board also considered Management's and NBEL's policies and practices regarding brokerage and allocation of portfolio transactions and reviewed the quality of the execution services that Management had provided. The Board also considered that Management's responsibilities include daily management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and considered information regarding Management's processes for managing risk. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management and NBEL, as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to either firm. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds.
As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various non-routine matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it. In addition, the Board considered actions taken by Management and NBEL in response to recent market conditions, such as regulatory concerns about changes in fixed-income market liquidity and potential volatility, and considered the overall performance of Management and NBEL in this context.
The Board factored into its evaluation of the Funds' fees and performance a consideration of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing peer groups and determining which investment companies should be included in the peer groups. With respect to investment performance, the Board considered information regarding each Fund's short-, intermediate- and long-term performance, as applicable, both on an absolute basis and relative to an appropriate benchmark index and the average performance of a composite peer group (as constructed by an independent organization) of investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies. The Board also reviewed performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers. In the case of those Funds that had underperformed their benchmark indices and/or peer groups, the Board discussed with Management each Fund's performance and steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance. In the case of certain Funds, the Board met with the Portfolio Managers of those Funds during the period since the last contract renewal to discuss the Fund's performance. The Board also considered Management's responsiveness with respect to the Funds that experienced lagging performance. In this regard, the Board noted that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of a Fund's Agreements and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreements notwithstanding a Fund's underperformance.
271
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board also considered any fall-out (i.e. indirect) benefits likely to accrue to Management, NBEL or their affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. With respect to Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund, the Board considered that the Fund invests in affiliated underlying funds pursuant to exemptive relief obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board further considered, for any assets that Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund invests in an affiliated underlying fund, Management's undertaking to waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee equal to the advisory fee it receives from such affiliated underlying fund. The Board also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with the Funds, and year-over-year changes in each of Management's reported expense categories. The Board reviewed a comparison of each Fund's management fee and total expense ratio to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in each Fund's management fee, the separate administrative fees paid to Management, but it was not clear whether this was the case for all funds in the peer group. The Board compared each Fund's contractual and actual management fees to the mean and median of the contractual and actual management fees, respectively, of that Fund's peer group. (The actual management fees are the contractual management fees reduced by any fee waivers or other adjustments.) Where a Fund's management fee was higher than the peer group mean and/or median, the Board considered whether specific portfolio management, administration or oversight needs contributed to the management fee. In addition, the Board considered the contractual limit on expenses of certain classes of each Fund. The Board noted that Management incurred a loss on certain of the Funds during the review period. The Board also noted that for some classes of certain Funds, the overall expense ratio of each class is maintained through expense reimbursements by Management.
With regard to the investment performance of each Fund and the costs of the services provided to each Fund, the Board considered the following information. Where a Fund has more than one class of shares outstanding, information for a single class has been provided as identified below. For each Fund, the Board looked at the Institutional Class as provided below as a proxy for all of the Fund's classes:
• Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee was equal to the median, but the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was lower than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was higher than the median for the 1 and 10-year periods, but lower than the median for the 3 and 5-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1, 3 and 5-year periods, but higher for the 10-year period.
• Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both lower than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period. The Fund was launched in 2013 and therefore does not have 5 or 10-year performance.
• Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median, but the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was lower than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1, 3, and 5-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1, 3 and 5-year periods. The Fund was launched in 2009 and therefore does not have 10-year performance.
• Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee were both higher than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1, 3 and 5-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1-year period, but lower for the 3 and 5-year periods. The Fund's Institutional Class was launched in 2009 and therefore does not have 10-year performance.
272
• Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee was lower than the median, but the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was higher than the median. The Board did not consider the Fund's performance relative to its peer group because the Fund has been in operation for less than one year and, as such, does not have comparable peer group performance. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the period since the Fund's inception. The Fund was launched in 2015 and while the Board reviewed its performance as compared to its benchmark, the Board recognizes the limitations of relying on very short-term performance.
• Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both lower than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1, 3 and 5-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period, but higher for the 3 and 5-year periods. The Fund's Institutional Class was launched in 2010 and therefore does not have 10-year performance.
• Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee were both lower than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period. The benchmark comparison was provided by Management because the independent organization that provides this data does not track the Fund's benchmark. NBIA assumed the management of the Fund in 2013; therefore, the Fund does not have 5 or 10-year performance under Management's management.
• Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee was equal to the median, but the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was lower than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1, 3 and 5-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1-year period, but lower for the 3 and 5-year periods. The Fund's Institutional Class was launched in 2010 and therefore does not have 10-year performance.
• Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both lower than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was higher than the median for the 1-year period, but lower than the median for the 3-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1-year period, but lower for the 3-year period. The Fund was launched in 2012 and therefore does not have 10-year performance.
• Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both higher than the respective medians. The Board noted that Management intended to reduce the advisory fee and expense cap. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was equal to the median for the 1 and 5-year periods, lower than the median for the 3-year period, and higher than the median for the 10-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period, equal for the 3-year period, and higher for the 5 and 10-year periods.
273
• Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both lower than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was higher than the median for the 1-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1-year period. The Fund was launched in 2014 and therefore does not have 5 or 10-year performance.
The Board also considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with investment objectives, policies and strategies that were similar to those of any of the Funds. In the cases where such funds or separate accounts exist, the Board compared the fees charged to the comparable Fund to the fees charged to any such funds and/or separate accounts. The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to a comparable Fund and any such funds and/or separate accounts, including any breakpoints, and determined that differences in fees and fee structures were consistent with the management and other services provided. The Board also evaluated any apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to each Fund. The Board considered whether each Fund's fee structure provides for a reduction of payments resulting from the use of breakpoints and whether any such breakpoints are set at appropriate asset levels. As in past years, the Board gave careful thought to the size of any breakpoints in the Funds' advisory fees and the asset levels at which they are set. It also considered whether the fees were set at an appropriate level and compared the fee structures to that of the peer group. The Board also considered that Management has provided, at no added cost to the Funds, certain additional services that were required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape, and/or requested by the Board. In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period. The Board also considered Management's cost allocation methodology. The Board recognized that Management and NBEL should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services they provide to the Funds and, based on its review, concluded that Management's and NBEL's reported level of profitability on each Fund was reasonable.
Conclusions
In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board concluded that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable to each Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and NBEL could be expected to provide a high level of service to each Fund; that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory over time, or, in the case of an underperforming Fund, that it retained confidence in Management's and NBEL's capabilities to manage the Fund; that each Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund. The Board's conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreements in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual review of the Agreements.
