Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for the Neuberger Berman Income Funds.
The U.S. economy, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), continued to expand and the pace accelerated as the 12-month reporting period progressed. Against this backdrop, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised interest rates on three occasions during the reporting period, with another rate hike possible before the end of December. Additionally, in a well telegraphed move, the Fed began reducing its balance sheet in October 2017. Elsewhere, growth outside the U.S. largely improved, although inflation remained relatively tame. Meanwhile, central banks outside the U.S. largely maintained their accommodative monetary policies.
After selling off following the U.S. election in November 2016, the U.S. government bond market stabilized and started to rebound in March 2017. This turnaround was triggered by a number of factors, including tempered expectations for fiscal stimulus in the U.S. and several geopolitical events that led to flights to quality.
All told, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 0.90% during the 12 months ended October 31, 2017. Investment grade corporate bonds produced positive excess returns relative to equal-duration Treasuries during the period, while securitized sectors generated mixed results. Investors who took on more risk were typically rewarded, as high yield bonds, bank loans and emerging market debt outperformed. For example, the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Constrained Index returned 9.14% during the reporting period.
The synchronous global expansion and buoyant markets have so far been able to withstand a number of crucial questions. Looking ahead, how will extreme levels of monetary policy accommodation eventually be unwound? What are the prospects for the reflationary, pro-growth elements of President Trump's agenda? When will a long forecasted increase in U.S. government bond yields materialize? What is the impact of wildcards such as North Korea or an unusually destructive hurricane season? As unsettling as it may be, we don't anticipate complete clarity on these questions in the near term, and we do think there may be some unexpected answers — including that the global economic upturn may nevertheless continue.
We believe the fundamentals for corporate credit, the securitized sectors and the municipal market remain supportive, although valuations have become less attractive. In terms of U.S. government bonds, we anticipate yields for U.S. Treasuries and other developed market sovereigns will drift higher in 2018. Pursuant to our long-term investment philosophy, we will actively manage our fixed income funds and adjust their portfolios given the evolving 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,
ROBERT CONTI
PRESIDENT AND CEO

Core Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a 0.95% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017 and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which provided a 0.90% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall U.S. fixed income market generated a modest gain during the reporting period. Both short- and longer-term Treasury yields rose over the 12 months ended October 31, 2017. In general, short-term yields moved higher as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised interest rates three times over the reporting period. The Fed also began reducing its balance sheet in October 2017. Meanwhile, longer-term Treasury yields fluctuated given changing expectations for economic growth in the U.S., uncertainties surrounding future fiscal policy, and a number of geopolitical events.
The Fund's allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) benefited performance. A solid housing market led to ongoing improvement in mortgage creditworthiness, and a shrinking pool of existing securities was met by increasing investor demand. Security selection within investment grade corporate bonds also contributed to results. Corporate credit continued to benefit from solid investor risk appetite and supportive fundamentals. An allocation to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities was beneficial as inflation expectations accelerated following the November 2016 U.S. elections. Conversely, the Fund's overall duration positioning and exposures to global sovereign bonds were both detractors from performance.
The Fund's use of futures contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
There were several adjustments made to the portfolio during the reporting period. Although we ended the 12 month period higher than we began it, we tactically adjusted the Fund's duration, first increasing duration following the November 2016 U.S. election sell-off and then subsequently reducing duration. Over the period, we decreased holdings in U.S. Treasuries. We initially increased the Fund's allocation to investment grade corporate bonds then later pared this allocation as valuations became less attractive after a strong rally. Within securitized sectors, we increased the Fund's holdings of asset-backed securities and, to lesser extents, commercial MBS and non-agency MBS.
Looking ahead, the long-awaited sell-off in government bond yields may continue to prove elusive. Investors seem to doubt whether the Fed will hike rates meaningfully and seem to expect the Fed's balance sheet exit may be a non-event. Compare today's mindset to the "taper tantrum" of 2013 when former Fed Chair Bernanke's mere mention of a potential future tapering of asset purchases sparked a major sell-off and volatility spike. As of the period end, the Fed actually started reducing holdings — which is arguably more significant than tapering — and it anticipates to continue hiking rates. Nevertheless, Treasury yields and interest rate volatility remain stubbornly low. We believe there's certainly a chance it plays out calmly and predictably, but the bond market's current stance may prove to be overly complacent. We believe reducing central bank balance sheet holdings — quantitative tightening — should add to volatility in fixed income markets just as adding to central bank balance sheets — quantitative easing — had previously reduced volatility.
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, 2017, the 30-day SEC yields were 2.14%, 2.54%, 2.14% and 1.40% 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 2.04%, 2.57%, 2.20% and 1.46% 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 2016 were 1.15%, 0.60%, 0.98% and 1.72% 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, 2017 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.

Core Plus Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Core Plus Fund Institutional Class generated a 0.63% total return from its inception on July 18, 2017 through October 31, 2017 (the "reporting period") and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which provided a 0.72% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall U.S. fixed income market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, generated a modest gain during 2017. Both short- and longer-term Treasury yields rose during the reporting period. In general, short-term yields moved higher in anticipation of further U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes. In addition, the Fed began reducing its balance sheet in October 2017. Meanwhile, longer-term Treasury yields fluctuated given changing expectations for economic growth in the U.S., uncertainties surrounding future fiscal policy, and a number of geopolitical events.
The Fund's security selection within investment grade corporate bonds contributed to results as did an allocation to high yield corporates. After widening in early August, credit spreads subsequently recovered due to higher oil prices, diminished geopolitical risk and supportive corporate earnings. Allocations to hard currency emerging markets debt were also beneficial as the sector has seen ongoing investor inflows and improving fundamentals. Elsewhere, the Fund's duration positioning, particularly an overweight in U.S. interest rate sensitivity, detracted from performance as yields moved higher. Additionally, exposure to Italian sovereign yields was modestly unfavorable.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures and swap contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
The Fund was launched during the reporting period. We initiated a neutral weight in investment grade corporate bonds and an overweight in high yield corporates as well as hard currency emerging markets debt. To a lesser extent, the Fund also established overweight positions in asset-backed securities and credit risk transfer securities (collateralized mortgage obligations). Counterbalancing these allocations, the Fund has greater interest rate sensitivity than the benchmark and an overweight to agency mortgage-backed securities, both of which we believe may serve as a ballast in a risk-off market for credit.
Looking ahead, the long-awaited sell-off in government bond yields may continue to prove elusive. Investors seem to doubt whether the Fed will hike rates meaningfully and seem to expect the Fed's balance sheet exit may be a non-event. Compare today's mindset to the "taper tantrum" of 2013 when former Fed Chair Bernanke's mere mention of a potential future tapering of asset purchases sparked a major sell-off and volatility spike. As of the period end, the Fed actually started to reduce holdings — which is arguably more significant than tapering — and anticipates to continue hiking rates. Nevertheless, Treasury yields and interest rate volatility remain stubbornly low. We believe there's certainly a chance it plays out calmly and predictably, but the bond market's current stance may prove to be overly complacent. We believe reducing central bank balance sheet holdings — quantitative tightening — should add to volatility in fixed income markets just as adding to central bank balance sheets — quantitative easing — had previously reduced volatility.

For the period ended October 31, 2017, the 30-day SEC yields were 2.73%, 2.36%, 1.61% and 2.80% 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 -2.94%, -3.35%, -4.08% and -2.88% 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.

Emerging Markets Debt Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund Institutional Class generated a 6.77% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017 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 provided a 5.75% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Emerging markets (EM) experienced a turbulent start to the period, with markets selling-off sharply after the November 2016 U.S. elections followed by a recovery that extended through the end of the reporting period. Global economic activity surprised on the upside while inflation slowed, creating a "goldilocks" environment for EM debt and leading to a continuation of strong inflows. The recovery of commodity prices supported commodity producing and exporting economies. Further, reported Chinese growth remained at the higher end of our expectations, in spite of government measures to slow down credit growth. Additionally, exports from EM ex-China improved, reflecting healthier global demand. Finally, absent any indications of overheating in developed markets, core global monetary policy was expected to turn less accommodative only slowly. This, along with the historically low EM inflation, allowed EM central banks to cut rates and support further growth.
The Fund's positive performance was driven by country allocation and bottom-up security selection across the underlying sleeves in the portfolio. The tactical asset allocation detracted from performance, however the Fund's duration hedging was positive, making the top-down positioning positive for the reporting period. Tactically, we started with an overweight in local currency funded by an underweight in corporates, and a neutral position in hard currency. We moved to cash after the November 2016 U.S. elections and rotated from local to hard currency as EM faced uncertainty surrounding the new U.S. Administration's trade rhetoric. As the sentiment improved, supported by attractive valuations, we added to the EM foreign currencies (EMFX) overlay in EM high yielders. As EM growth continued to recover, we added back to the foreign currency (FX) overlay and moved to an overweight in local currency, while maintaining the overweight to hard currency and underweight to corporates.
In hard currency, the significant contributors to performance were security selection in Argentina, Malaysia and Indonesia, an underweight position in the Philippines, and overweights in Argentina and frontier countries including Mongolia, Iraq and Ghana. The underweight exposure to Hungary and Zambia detracted from performance as well as security selection in Venezuela. In the corporate space we benefitted from overweights in Argentina and Brazil and underweights in low beta countries, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Israel and Korea, as the market rallied. Security selection in India was also positive though this was offset somewhat by security selection in Brazil and Colombia. By sector, positions in metals & mining, consumer, and utilities were positive, while oil & gas created a drag on relative performance. In local currency, local rates positioning drove outperformance. Key contributors were Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and positions in Russia and the Czech Republic, while Hungary detracted from the Fund's performance. In Latin America, rates position in Colombia was positive, but was offset by exposure in Brazil. A new rates position in Sri Lanka was also additive, while the contribution from FX was negative in the reporting period. FX exposure to Russia, Colombia, Korea and Taiwan detracted from the EMFX returns. This was mitigated by positive returns from Czech Republic, Brazil and Mexico.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency and swap contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
In our view, the fundamental outlook for EM continues to be positive. We think external vulnerabilities have receded considerably and several countries have lately been in a position of rebuilding FX reserves and easing monetary policy. Both export growth data and domestic macro indicators such as retail sales have been showing strength across the EM world.
8
Corporates and consumers, China aside, have deleveraged and adjusted to lower commodity prices. Absent any indications of overheating in developed markets, core global monetary policy is expected to gradually move tighter only slowly, allowing EM central banks to cut rates and support growth further. We believe this, along with historically low EM inflation, if they continue, should be supportive of lower bond yields and EM currencies.

Floating Rate Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 4.14% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017 and underperformed its benchmark, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, which provided a 5.06% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The senior floating rate bank loan market posted positive results during the reporting period. Supporting the asset class were generally solid fundamentals, relatively low defaults and indications from the U.S. Federal Reserve that it would continue to take a measured approach in terms of raising interest rates. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2017, securities rated B in the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index returned 5.13%, whereas BB rated and CCC rated securities returned 3.97% and 15.22%, 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, usually fixed-rate senior bonds. Relative value between floating rate loans and bonds fluctuated during the reporting period given the increase in volatility. Against this backdrop, the Fund's non-floating rate allocation ended the reporting period at approximately 7.9%.
In terms of the Fund's quality biases, an underweight to CCC rated issues and security selection within B rated issues detracted from performance. Conversely, security selection of BB rated issues contributed to performance.
From a sector perspective, security selection within oil & gas, business equipment & services, and electronics-electrical detracted the most from performance during the reporting period. In contrast, security selection within retailers, financial intermediaries, and drugs were the largest contributors to performance.
We continue to believe that the floating rate loan market is compensating investors for default risk. We think defaults may have peaked in 2016 and could remain below 2% in both 2017 and 2018 as revenue and leverage ratios improve. While volatility has failed to emerge in the non-investment grade space, as it has in most risk markets, we believe the potential remains for a spike in volatility over the balance of the year given ongoing policy uncertainty in the U.S., various geopolitical flashpoints, and the possibility that the improvement in global economic growth could wane.

High Income Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 6.84% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017 and underperformed its benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, which provided a 9.14% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall high yield market, as measured by the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, generated strong results during the reporting period. After a weak start in November 2016, the high yield market rallied over nine of the last 11 months of the reporting period. This was driven by a number of factors, including overall strong corporate earnings, low defaults, improving global growth, and rising oil prices. Against this backdrop, investor demand was generally robust as investors looked to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. Within the benchmark index, securities rated CCC and lower (relatively lower ratings) and securities rated BB (a higher rating) returned 13.72% and 7.78%, respectively.*
From a sector perspective, an underweight to energy, as well as security selection within support services and banking detracted the most from performance. In contrast, security selection within utilities, an underweight to super retail and security selection within gaming contributed the most to results.
In terms of the Fund's quality biases, security selection within BB and B rated securities was negative for its performance, as was our underweight to CCC rated securities.
We made several adjustments to the portfolio during the reporting period. The Fund's allocation to BBB and BB rated securities was reduced. We also increased our allocation to B rated bonds, reducing our underweight to slightly above 1% from 6%. From a sector perspective, the Fund increased its allocation to diversified financial services securities, while reducing its gas distribution and health care exposure.
Looking ahead, it is widely anticipated that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise interest rates again following its mid-December meeting, which would be the third hike of 2017. All in all, we believe the Fed's measured approach to policy normalization represents a constructive scenario for high yield bonds, which historically have performed well during rising-rate environments. We continue to believe that the high yield market is compensating investors for default risk. We anticipate high yield defaults will remain below historical averages for the remainder of 2017 and 2018 if the U.S. economic expansion continues. While volatility has failed to emerge in the non-investment grade space, as it has in most risk markets, the potential remains for a spike in volatility over the balance of the year given ongoing policy uncertainty in the U.S., various geopolitical flashpoints, and the possibility that the improvement in global economic growth could wane. We don't believe lower-quality high yield securities at current levels are compensating investors for these risks, which is one of the reasons why we increased our allocation to B rated bonds as noted above.
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 2.24% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017 and underperformed its benchmark, a custom blend consisting of 65% Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and 35% Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Index, which provided a 2.48% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The municipal bond market outperformed the taxable bond market during the reporting period. Municipal securities were supported by generally positive fundamentals, solid demand, and more moderate supply than a year earlier. Both short- and longer-term Treasury yields rose over the 12 months ended October 31, 2017. Short-term yields generally moved higher as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised interest rates three times over the reporting period and began reducing its balance sheet in October 2017. Meanwhile, longer-term Treasury yields fluctuated given changing expectations for economic growth in the U.S., uncertainties surrounding future fiscal policy and a number of geopolitical events. All told, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 2.19% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017, whereas the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 0.90%.
We tactically adjusted the Fund's duration during the reporting period. Having a duration that was longer than the Fund's benchmark initially detracted from results as rates moved sharply higher in December 2016. Duration positioning then benefited results as rates subsequently declined. As the reporting period progressed, we moved to reduce the Fund's duration. Overall, duration positioning was a headwind for results.
The Fund's credit biases were beneficial for results. In particular, having an overweight to securities rated BBB and below was additive for returns as they outperformed their higher rated counterparts. From a sector perspective, an underweight to tobacco securitization bonds detracted from performance. In addition, having no allocation to securities issued by Puerto Rico contributed to results. On the downside, our small diversified exposure to the Virgin Islands detracted from performance as they were negatively impacted by Hurricane Maria.
Given the slow but steady economic growth backdrop and subdued but stable level of inflation, we see no reason to doubt the Fed's intention of taking a measured approach to future monetary policy tightening. That being said, changes in fiscal policy or potential volatility caused by the withdrawal of monetary accommodation might cause adjustments to that forecast. Specific to the municipal bond market, technicals continue to look promising for the remainder of the year, in our opinion. As was characteristic of most of 2017, we believe reduced new issue supply should provide a firm bid for municipal product. We will keep a close eye on both tax reform and infrastructure investment legislation, but we believe that several months may pass before any legislation becomes a reality. We continue to execute on our research based, bottom-up investment process in the effort to find attractive buying opportunities for our investors.
Sincerely,
JAMES L. ISELIN, S. BLAKE MILLER AND ERIC J. PELIO

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, 2017, the 30-day SEC yields were 3.10%, 2.72% and 1.98% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The tax-equivalent yields were 5.48%, 4.81% and 3.50% for 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 2.97%, 2.51% and 1.85% 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 2016 were 0.93%, 1.47% and 2.15% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.50%, 0.87% and 1.62% 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, 2017 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.

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

Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 1.28% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017 and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year G.O. Index, which provided a 1.50% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The municipal bond market outperformed the taxable bond market during the reporting period. Municipal securities were supported by generally positive fundamentals, solid demand, and more moderate supply than a year earlier. Both short- and longer-term Treasury yields rose over the 12 months ended October 31, 2017. Short-term yields generally moved higher as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised interest rates three times over the reporting period and began reducing its balance sheet in October 2017. Meanwhile, longer-term Treasury yields fluctuated given changing expectations for economic growth in the U.S., uncertainties surrounding future fiscal policy, and a number of geopolitical events. All told, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 2.19% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017, whereas the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 0.90%.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fund maintained a barbell approach (investing in shorter and longer maturities). In contrast, the Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year G.O. Index, is concentrated in the six- to eight-year portion of the curve. This positioning modestly detracted from results as the five- to seven-year portion of the municipal curve outperformed over the 12-month period as a whole.
The Fund's credit biases were additive for results. In particular, having overweights to BBB rated and A rated securities 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.
A number of changes were made to the Fund during the reporting period. We tactically adjusted the Fund's duration, initially allowing it to drift shorter in anticipation of increased volatility, higher rates, and seasonal headwinds. As the period progressed, we increased the Fund's duration and ended the period slightly longer than the benchmark. Elsewhere, we opportunistically purchased certain lesser grade securities, which was beneficial for performance.
Given the slow but steady economic growth backdrop and subdued but stable level of inflation, we see no reason to doubt the Fed's intention of taking a measured approach to future monetary policy tightening. That being said, changes in fiscal policy or potential volatility caused by the withdrawal of monetary accommodation might cause adjustments to that forecast. Specific to the municipal bond market, technicals continue to look promising for the remainder of the year, in our opinion. As was characteristic of most of 2017, we believe reduced new issue supply should provide a firm bid for municipal product. We will keep a close eye on both tax reform and infrastructure investment legislation, but we believe that several months may pass before any legislation becomes a reality. We continue to execute on our research based, bottom-up investment process in the effort to find attractive buying opportunities for our investors.

Short Duration Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 0.41% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017 and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which provided a 0.67% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall U.S. taxable fixed income market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, generated a modest gain during the reporting period. Both short-and longer-term Treasury yields rose over the 12 months ended October 31, 2017. Short-term yields generally moved higher as the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised interest rates three times over the period and began reducing its balance sheet in October 2017. Meanwhile, longer-term Treasury yields fluctuated given changing expectations for economic growth in the U.S., uncertainties surrounding future fiscal policy, and a number of geopolitical events.
The primary detractor from the Fund's relative performance during the reporting period was its lack of exposure to agency debt. While we felt the sector was richly valued, it outperformed equal duration Treasuries. Yield curve positioning was also a headwind for results. In particular, having an overweight to the three- to five-year area of the yield curve was not rewarded as it lagged the two-year and less portion of the curve. On the upside, the Fund's overweight to investment grade credit was positive for results. Credit spreads tightened over the period amid strong investor demand. Elsewhere, allocations to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) were additive for performance.
The Fund's use of futures contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
We maintained the Fund's overall positioning over the reporting period, with an overweight to non-Treasury securities and underweights to Treasuries, agency debt, and non-corporate securities. We tactically adjusted the Fund's duration but remained defensively positioned overall. The Fund ended the period roughly one-tenth of a year shorter than its benchmark. From a sector positioning perspective, we reduced our allocations to Treasuries and ABS, while increasing our weightings in CMBS and both fixed and floating rate investment grade credit.
Looking ahead, the market appears to think the long-awaited sell-off in government bond yields may continue to prove elusive. Investors seem to doubt whether the Fed will hike rates meaningfully and seem to expect the Fed's balance sheet exit may be a non-event. Compare today's mindset to the "taper tantrum" of 2013 when former Fed Chair Bernanke's mere mention of a potential future tapering of asset purchases sparked a major sell-off and volatility spike. Now, the Fed has actually started reducing holdings — which is arguably more significant than tapering — and anticipates to continue hiking rates. Nevertheless, Treasury yields and interest rate volatility remain stubbornly low. There's certainly a chance it plays out calmly and predictably, but the bond market's current stance may prove to be overly complacent. We believe reducing central bank balance sheet holdings — quantitative tightening — should add to volatility in fixed income markets just as adding to central bank balance sheets — quantitative easing — had previously reduced volatility.
Sincerely,
THOMAS SONTAG, MICHAEL FOSTER AND MATTHEW MCGINNIS

Short Duration High Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 4.94% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017 and underperformed its benchmark, the ICE BofAML 0-5 Year BB-B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, which provided a 6.44% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall high yield market, as measured by the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, generated strong results during the reporting period. After a weak start in November 2016, the high yield market rallied over nine of the last 11 months of the reporting period. This was driven by a number of factors, including overall strong corporate earnings, low defaults, improving global growth, and rising oil prices. Against this backdrop, investor demand was generally robust as investors looked to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.
The sectors that contributed the least to absolute performance during the reporting period were food & drug retail, environmental, and aerospace/defense. The sectors that were the most beneficial to absolute performance during the reporting period were health care, telecommunications, and utilities. From a quality perspective, approximately 97% of the portfolio, as of the end of the reporting period, was held in securities rated B and higher and in cash. This positioning was additive to the Fund's absolute performance.
During the reporting period, the Fund increased its allocations to diversified financial services, media-cable, and energy securities, while reducing its allocations to real estate & homebuilders and super retail.
Looking ahead, it is widely anticipated that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise interest rates again following its mid-December meeting, which would be the third hike of 2017. All in all, the Fed's measured approach to policy normalization represents a constructive scenario for high yield bonds, which historically have performed well during rising-rate environments. We continue to believe that the high yield market is compensating investors for default risk. We anticipate high yield defaults will remain below historical averages for the remainder of 2017 and 2018 if the U.S. economic expansion continues. While volatility has failed to emerge in the non-investment grade space, as it has in most risk markets, the potential remains for a spike in volatility over the balance of the year given ongoing policy uncertainty in the U.S., various geopolitical flashpoints and the possibility that the improvement in global economic growth could wane. We don't believe lower-quality high yield securities at current levels are compensating investors for these risks, which is one of the reasons for the Fund's allocation to higher-quality securities as noted above.
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 4.45% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017 and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which provided a 0.90% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall U.S. taxable fixed income market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, generated a modest gain during the reporting period. Treasury yields moved sharply higher following the November 2016 U.S. elections, due to expectations for improving growth and higher inflation. Also impacting the U.S. fixed income market were three Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes during the reporting period. However, Treasury yields declined from their peak in mid-March 2017, as investors tempered their policy optimism following the Administration's health care bill setback. Overseas, the European Central Bank left policy rates unchanged while reducing their asset purchase program, with further tapering planned in 2018. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan maintained highly accommodative monetary policies. Finally, the U.S. dollar depreciated given shifting expectations for growth and monetary/fiscal policy. Investors' search for yield continued over the period, helping high yield corporate bonds and emerging markets (EM) debt to produce solid results.
The Fund's allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) benefited performance. A solid housing market led to ongoing improvement in mortgage creditworthiness, and a shrinking pool of existing securities was met by increasing investor demand. The Fund's allocations to high yield and investment grade corporate bonds contributed to results amid solid investor risk appetite and supportive fundamentals. Security selection within investment grade corporate bonds also contributed to performance. The Fund's overall underweight duration positioning benefited the portfolio during the reporting period as yields moved higher. Allocations to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) were beneficial as inflation expectations accelerated following the November 2016 U.S. elections. Elsewhere, the Fund's positioning in global sovereigns was a modest drag on performance.
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 reporting period. We tactically adjusted the Fund's duration, first increasing duration following the November 2016 U.S. elections sell-off and then subsequently reducing duration. We moderately increased the Fund's allocation to EM debt and bank loans, as we believed valuations were attractive relative to other fixed income subsectors. Elsewhere, we decreased the Fund's allocations to investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds, non-agency MBS, TIPS, and global sovereign bonds.
Looking ahead, the market appears to think the long-awaited sell-off in government bond yields may continue to prove elusive. Investors seem to doubt whether the Fed will hike rates meaningfully and seem to expect the Fed's balance sheet exit may be a non-event. Compare today's mindset to the "taper tantrum" of 2013 when former Fed Chair Bernanke's mere mention of a potential future tapering of asset purchases sparked a major sell-off and volatility spike. Now, the Fed has actually started reducing holdings — which is arguably more significant than tapering — and anticipates to continue hiking rates. Nevertheless, Treasury yields and interest rate volatility remain stubbornly low. There's certainly a chance it plays out calmly and predictably, but the bond market's current stance may prove to be overly complacent. We believe reducing central bank balance sheet holdings — quantitative tightening — should add to volatility in fixed income markets just as adding to central bank balance sheets — quantitative easing — had previously reduced volatility.

Unconstrained Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a 4.05% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017. In contrast, its benchmark, the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, provided a 0.72% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The global fixed income market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, gained 1.18% during the reporting period. In the U.S., Treasury yields moved sharply higher following the November 2016 U.S. elections, due to expectations for improving growth and higher inflation. Also impacting the U.S. fixed income market were three U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes during the reporting period. However, Treasury yields declined from their peak in mid-March 2017, as investors tempered their policy optimism following the Administration's health care bill setback. Overseas, the European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged while reducing their asset purchase program, with further tapering planned in 2018. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan maintained highly accommodative monetary policies. Finally, the U.S. dollar depreciated given shifting expectations for growth and monetary/fiscal policy. Investors' search for yield continued over the period, helping high yield corporate bonds and emerging markets (EM) debt to produce solid results.
The Fund's duration positioning benefited its performance, particularly within U.S. interest rates. An allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities was also beneficial. Allocations to non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and investment grade corporate bonds contributed to results. In addition, our currency positioning was additive. Our bearish positioning in pan-European high yield detracted from performance.
There were several adjustments made to the portfolio during the reporting period. We began the reporting period long U.S. interest rates but have recently reversed the position to be net short. We added holdings in collateralized loan obligations and credit risk transfer securities (collateralized mortgage obligations). Also, we initially increased the Fund's allocations to high yield and investment grade corporate bonds as spreads widened early in the period, then pared these allocations subsequent to their strong rebound. Elsewhere, we decreased the Fund's allocations to non-agency MBS and curtailed short positions in (EM) debt.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, and swap contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
Looking ahead, the market appears to think the long-awaited sell-off in government bond yields may continue to prove elusive. Investors seem to doubt whether the Fed will hike rates meaningfully and seem to expect the Fed's balance sheet exit may be a non-event. Compare today's mindset to the "taper tantrum" of 2013 when former Fed Chair Bernanke's mere mention of a potential future tapering of asset purchases sparked a major sell-off and volatility spike. Now, the Fed has actually started reducing holdings — which is arguably more significant than tapering — and anticipates continuing hiking rates. We believe the European Central Bank will eventually follow suit. Nevertheless, global sovereign yields and interest rate volatility remain stubbornly low. There's certainly a chance it plays out calmly and predictably, but the bond market's current stance may prove to be overly complacent. We believe reducing global central bank balance sheet holdings — quantitative tightening — should add to volatility in fixed income markets just as adding to central bank balance sheets — quantitative easing — had previously reduced volatility.

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, 2017 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.

(e) Amount less than one thousand.
As of the year ended October 31, 2017, certain securities were transferred from one level (as of October 31, 2016) to another.

(c) Securities categorized as Level 3 were valued using 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.
(d) Securities categorized as Level 3 were valued using methods the Board has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of these securities.
(e) Amount less than one thousand.
As of the year ended October 31, 2017, certain securities were transferred from one level (as of October 31, 2016) to another. Based on beginning of period market values as of November 1, 2016, approximately $7,604,000 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2. Also, approximately $12,212,000 was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3. Transfers of loan assignments and corporate bonds into or out of Level 3 were primarily due to the pricing methodology using methods the Board has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of these securities (Level 3) or a single observable input (Level 3) by the independent pricing service. As of the year ended October 31, 2017, the Fund had no transfers between Levels 1 and 2.

(c) 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.
(d) Amount less than one thousand.
As of the year ended October 31, 2017, certain securities were transferred from one level (as of October 31, 2016) to another. Based on beginning of period market values as of November 1, 2016, approximately $337,000 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2. There were no transfers from Level 2 to Level 3. Transfers of loan assignments and corporate bonds into or out of Level 3 were primarily due to the pricing methodology using methods the Board has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of these securities (Level 3) or a single observable input (Level 3) by the independent pricing service. As of the year ended October 31, 2017, 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 Core Plus Fund ("Core Plus"), 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, twelve offer Institutional Class shares, eleven offer Class A shares, eleven offer Class C shares, one offers Class R3 shares and four offer Class R6 shares. Core Plus had no operations until July 18, 2017, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of its shares under the 1933 Act. The Trust's 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)
234
The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The value of the Funds' investments in equity securities and exchange-traded funds, 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 the Funds' investments in debt securities for long positions is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations based on security type (generally Level 2 inputs). In addition to the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions, the following is a description of other Level 2 inputs and related valuation techniques used by independent pricing services to value certain types of debt securities held by the Funds:
Corporate 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 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).
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).
235
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).
The value of cross currency swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on present value of expected cash flows based on swap parameters along with reference to the underlying yield curve and reference rate (Level 2 inputs).
Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.
Commercial papers are valued at amortized cost (Level 2 inputs).
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 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 LLC ("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 translations: Core Bond, Core Plus, 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 the NYSE is open for business, to determine the value of investments, other assets and liabilities. Purchase and sale prices of securities, and income and expenses, are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net unrealized foreign currency gain/(loss), if any, arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates and is stated separately in the Statements of Operations.
236
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, Core Plus, 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, Short Duration, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond participated as a class member. The amounts of such proceeds for the year ended October 31, 2017 were $4,681, $62,515, $3,925, $985 and $956 for Core Bond, High Income, Short Duration, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond, 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, except Core Plus, to continue to, and the intention of Core Plus 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, 2017, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.
At October 31, 2017, selected Fund information for all long security positions and derivative instruments (if any) for U.S. federal income tax purposes was as follows:

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.
237
As determined on October 31, 2017, 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, 2017, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

As of October 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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: | |
| | 2018 | | 2019 | |
Floating Rate Income | | $ | — | | | $ | 835,287 | | |
Short Duration | | | 850,271 | | | | 1,276,932 | | |
239
| | Post-Enactment | |
| | Long-Term | | Short-Term | |
Core Bond | | $ | 865,786 | | | $ | 2,032,294 | | |
Core Plus | | | 16,642 | | | | 9,608 | | |
Emerging Markets Debt | | | 4,172,777 | | | | 2,109,709 | | |
Floating Rate Income | | | 10,972,231 | | | | 5,019,911 | | |
High Income | | | 120,435,256 | | | | 1,376,900 | | |
Municipal High Income | | | 193,324 | | | | 1,393,722 | | |
Short Duration | | | 4,116,664 | | | | 628,073 | | |
Short Duration High Income | | | 11,234,553 | | | | 2,846,542 | | |
Strategic Income | | | 30,632,469 | | | | 2,580,937 | | |
Unconstrained Bond | | | 2,596,442 | | | | 8,505,772 | | |
Post-Enactment capital loss carryforwards must be fully used before Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards; therefore, under certain circumstances, Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date may expire unused.
During the year ended October 31, 2017, Emerging Markets Debt, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration High Income and Strategic Income utilized capital loss carryforwards of $809,289, $197,288, $75,608,422, $1,104,553 and $10,939,748, respectively.
During the year ended October 31, 2017, Short Duration had capital loss carryforwards expire of $8,069,282.
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 in the complex or series thereof on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly. Each Fund's expenses (other than those specific to each class) are allocated proportionally each day among the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
8 Dollar rolls: Core Bond, Core Plus, 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.
240
9 When-issued/delayed delivery securities: Each Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time a Fund enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the NAV. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to a Fund until payment takes place. At the time a Fund enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions can have a leverage-like effect on a Fund, which can increase fluctuations in the Fund's share price. Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.
10 Foreign taxes: Foreign taxes withheld 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, 2017, Emerging Markets Debt had accrued capital gains taxes of $75,301, 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, 2017, is described below. Please see the Schedule of Investments for each Fund's open positions in derivatives, if any, at October 31, 2017. 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, 2017, Core Bond and Emerging Markets Debt used futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device. During the year ended October 31, 2017, Core Plus used futures as a means of hedging risk and/or for investment purposes, including altering the Fund's exposure to interest rates and currencies. During the year ended October 31, 2017, Short Duration used U.S. Treasury futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device. During the year ended October 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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 total return.
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
241
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.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the futures transactions undertaken by a Fund may cause the Fund to recognize gains or losses from marking contracts to market even though its positions have not been sold or terminated, may affect the character of the gains or losses recognized as long-term or short-term, and may affect the timing of some capital gains and losses realized by the Fund. Also, a Fund's losses on transactions involving futures contracts may be deferred rather than being taken into account currently in calculating such Fund's taxable income.
Forward foreign currency contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2017, 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, 2017, Unconstrained Bond used forward contracts to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for currencies, hedge risk and to enhance total return.
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 period ended October 31, 2017, Core Plus used credit default swaps for investment purposes, including altering the Fund's exposure to sectors. During the year ended October 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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 total return. When a Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, it is entitled to receive the notional amount of the swap from the counterparty if a credit event occurs. In return, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund would have spent the stream of payments and received no proceeds from
242
the contract. When a Fund is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make (or the risk of loss) would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Fund may add economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract are accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and are recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation of swaps. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments/(receipts), 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, 2017, 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. During the year ended October 31, 2017, Unconstrained Bond used interest rate swaps to hedge risk, manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund, obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, establish net short positions for individual markets, adjust the duration of the Fund's portfolio, alter the Fund's exposure to interest rates and to enhance total return. 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.
Centrally cleared swap contracts: Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivative transactions. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty that is then cleared through a central clearinghouse. Upon acceptance of a swap by a central clearinghouse, the original swap is extinguished and replaced with a swap with the clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund's exposure to the credit risk of the original counterparty. A Fund typically will be required to post specified levels of both initial and variation margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse. The daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the 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.
243
Cross currency swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2017, 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 unrealized gains/losses, along with the fair value of the future periodic payment or receivable streams on the swaps. The unrealized gains/losses associated with the periodic interim net interest payments or receipts are reclassified to realized gains/losses in conjunction with the actual net payment or receipt of such amounts. The reclassifications do not impact the Fund's total net assets or its total net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations.
At October 31, 2017, 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, Core Plus, Emerging Markets Debt, Short Duration, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond, did not hold any derivative instruments during the year ended October 31, 2017, that require additional disclosures pursuant to ASC 815.
The Funds adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 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,
249
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, 2017. 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, 2017.

(a) Cash collateral received (or pledged) is limited to an amount not to exceed 100% of the net amount of assets (or liabilities) in the tables presented above, for each respective counterparty.
(b) Net Amount represents amounts subject to loss as of October 31, 2017, in the event of a counterparty failure.
(c) Net Amount represents amounts under-collateralized to each counterparty as of October 31, 2017.
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
251
amended, subject to the terms and conditions of such order. Through October 31, 2017, Strategic Income invested in Emerging Markets Debt and Short Duration (collectively the "Underlying Funds") (see Note F).
For Strategic Income's investment in the Underlying Funds, Management waived a portion of its management fee equal to the management fee it received from the Underlying Funds on those assets (the "Arrangement"). For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017, management fees waived and income earned under this Arrangement on Strategic Income's investments in the Underlying Funds were as follows:
| | Management Fees Waived | | Income Earned | |
Strategic Income | | $ | 449,120 | | | $ | 4,220,778 | | |
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 SEC that permits the Funds to invest in both affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including 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 (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, 2017, the value of unfunded loan commitments was approximately $57,000 for Floating Rate Income pursuant to the following loan agreement:
Floating Rate Income (000's omitted) | |
Borrower | | Principal Amount | | Value | |
Tricorbraun, First Lien Term Loan DD, 3.75%, due 10/31/23 | | $ | 57 | | | $ | 57 | | |
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. There were no in-kind subscriptions for any fund during the year ended October 31, 2017.
18 In-kind redemptions: In accordance with guidelines described in a Fund's prospectus and in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, a Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of Fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the year ended October 31, 2017, Strategic Income realized $(310,903) of net loss on $16,064,021 of in-kind redemptions.

Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Prior to July 1, 2017, each Fund paid Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.06% of its average daily net assets under this agreement in addition to an annual fee for certain class level services (specifically, 0.21% for each of Investor Class, Class A, Class C and Class R3; 0.44% for Trust Class of Short Duration Bond; 0.34% for Trust Class of Strategic Income; 0.09% for Institutional Class and 0.02% for Class R6, each as a percentage of average daily net assets). Effective July 1, 2017, the administration fee will only be assessed at the Class level and as such each share class of a Fund, as applicable, pays Management an annual administration fee equal to the following: 0.27% for each of Investor Class, Class A, Class C and Class R3; 0.50% for Trust Class of Short Duration Bond; 0.40% for Trust Class of Strategic Income; 0.15% for Institutional Class; and 0.08% for Class R6, each as a percentage of its average daily net assets. This will not result in an increase in any administration expense for any Fund or share class. 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 Sub-Administration 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.

Each Fund also has a distribution agreement with Neuberger Berman BD LLC (the "Distributor") with respect to each class of shares. The Distributor acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without sales commission or other compensation, except as described below, and bears the advertising and promotion expenses.
However, the Distributor receives fees from Core Bond's Investor Class, Strategic Income's Trust Class, High Income's Class R3, and each Fund's Class A and Class C under their distribution plans (each a "Plan", collectively, the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans provide that, as compensation for administrative and other services provided to these classes, the Distributor's activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, the Distributor receives from each of these respective classes a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of Core Bond Investor Class', Core Bond Class A's, Core Plus 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, Core Plus 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. The Distributor receives this amount to provide distribution and shareholder servicing for these classes and pays a portion of it to institutions that provide such services. Those institutions may use the payments for, among other purposes, compensating employees engaged in sales and/or shareholder servicing. The amount of fees paid by each class during any year may be more or less than the cost of distribution and other services provided to that class. FINRA rules limit the amount of annual distribution fees that may be paid by a mutual fund and impose a ceiling on the cumulative distribution fees paid. The Trust's Plans comply with those rules.
Class A shares of each Fund (except Short Duration) are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.25%. Class A shares of Short Duration are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 2.50%. Class A shares of each Fund are generally sold with no contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), except that a CDSC of 1.00% applies to certain redemptions made within 18 months following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge. Class C shares of each Fund are sold with no initial sales charge and a 1.00% CDSC if shares are sold within one year after purchase.

Note E—Line of Credit:
At October 31, 2017, 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 highest of (a) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.00% per annum, (b) a Eurodollar rate for a one-month period plus 1.00% per annum, and (c) an overnight bank funding rate plus 1.00% per annum. The Credit Facility has an annual commitment fee of 0.15% per annum of the available line of credit, which is paid quarterly. Each Fund that is a participant has agreed to pay its pro rata share of the annual commitment fee, based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the net assets of all participants at the time the fee is due and 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
260
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, 2017. During the year ended October 31, 2017, none of the Funds utilized the Credit Facility.

Note G—Custodian Out-of-Pocket Expenses Refunded:
In May 2016, the Funds' custodian, State Street, announced that it had identified inconsistencies in the way in which certain Funds were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed "out-of-pocket" costs, from 1998 through November 2015. The amounts in the table below represent the refunded expenses and interest determined to be payable to certain Funds for the period in question. These amounts were refunded to those Funds by State Street during the period ended October 31, 2017.

Note H—Legal Matters:
On June 1, 2015, High Income 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 (the "Prepetition Transfer") 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 Transfer"); 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 Transfer (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. On November 17, 2016, all claims against High Income relating to the Prepetition Transfer were dismissed from the action. On May 5, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court concluded the evidentiary portion of a trial on certain legal issues with respect to the defendants' right to the Postpetition Transfer. On September 26, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court issued its decision (a) the representative list of fixtures that still secure the term loan; and (b) the valuation of those fixtures. The Bankruptcy Court held that 33 of the 40 assets at issue were fixtures and that the majority of the assets should be valued on a going concern basis. The Motors Liquidation Company Avoidance Action Trust sought leave to appeal portions of the decision on October 10, 2017. The parties have agreed to attend a mediation in December 2017 in an attempt to resolve the dispute. During 2009, High Income received pay downs from GM in connection with the term loan totaling approximately $5.9 million. High Income 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. High Income will incur legal expenses associated with the defense of the lawsuit.
Note I—Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
In December 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-19, "Technical Corrections and Improvements" ("ASU 2016-19"). The guidance includes an amendment to Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, which clarifies the difference between a valuation approach and a valuation technique. The amendments also require an entity to disclose when it has changed either a valuation approach and/or a valuation technique. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this guidance.

Notes to Financial Highlights
# 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.
Ø Prior to January 1, 2013, the 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%.
ØØ Effective after the close of business on March 8, 2013, Management succeeded Glickenhaus & Co., as the Fund's investment manager. The financial highlights for the period ended October 31, 2013 include the income and expenses attributable to the Empire Builder Tax Free Bond Fund prior to March 11, 2013, and the income and expenses of New York Municipal Income thereafter.
@ Calculated based on the average number of shares outstanding during each fiscal period.
** Annualized.
* Not annualized.
^ The date investment operations commenced.
‡ Organization expense, which is a non-recurring expense, is included in these ratios on a non-annualized basis.
§ After repayment of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management, as applicable. Had the Fund not made such repayments, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average net assets would have been:
| | Year Ended October 31, 2017 | |
High Income Bond Class R3 | | | 1.35 | % | |
^^ Portfolio turnover is calculated at the Fund level. Percentage indicated was calculated for the year ended October 31, 2013 for High Income and Strategic Income (Class R6).
ß New York Municipal Income's fiscal year end changed from February 28 to October 31.
a 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.
b The class action proceeds listed in Note A-4 of the Notes to Financial Statements had no impact on the Funds' total returns for the year ended October 31, 2017. The class action proceeds received in 2016 had no impact on the Funds' total returns for the year ended October 31, 2016. The class action proceeds received in 2015 had no impact on the Funds' total returns for the year ended October 31, 2015.
c The portfolio turnover rates including mortgage dollar roll transactions were 269%, 222%, 240%, 307% and 346% for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively, for Core Bond, 104% for the period ended October 31, 2017 for Core Plus, 352%, 363%, 357%, 365% and 384% for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for Strategic Income and 88%, 65% and 86% for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for Unconstrained Bond.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders 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
Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, 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") as of October 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended 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, 2017, 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 the above-mentioned series of the Neuberger Berman Income Funds, at October 31, 2017, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 the Trust or of Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA" or "Management") (including its affiliates) ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreements with Management (the "Management Agreement") with respect to each series (each a "Fund") and the sub-advisory agreements between Management and Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreements" and collectively with the Management Agreement, the "Agreements") with respect to Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund 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 September 28, 2017, 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 reports on investment performance, portfolio risk and other portfolio information for each Fund, including the use of derivatives if used as part of the Fund's strategy, 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. The Contract Review Committee, which is comprised of Independent Fund Trustees, was established by the Board to assist in its deliberations regarding the annual contract review. The Board has also established other committees that focus throughout the year on specific areas relevant to the annual contract review, such as Fund performance or compliance matters, and that are charged with specific responsibilities regarding the annual contract review. Those committees provide reports to the Contract Review Committee and the full Board, which consider that information as part of the annual contract review process. The Board's Contract Review Committee annually considers and updates the questions it asks of Management in light of developments in the industry, in the markets, in mutual fund regulation and litigation, and in Management's business model.
296
The Independent Fund Trustees received from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Contract Review Committee and the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management and NBEL.
Provided below is a description of the Board's contract approval process and the material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding renewals of the Agreements and the compensation to be paid thereunder. In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreements, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to each Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of each Fund and Fund 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.
This description is not intended to include all of the factors considered by the Board. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of, and the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management and NBEL who perform services for the Funds. The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance services. The Board also considered Management's and NBEL's policies and practices regarding brokerage, commissions and other trading costs, and allocation of portfolio transactions and reviewed the quality of the execution services that Management had provided. Moreover, the Board considered Management's approach to potential conflicts of interest between each Fund's investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by Management or NBEL.
The Board noted the extensive range of services that Management provides to the Funds beyond the investment management services. The Board noted that Management is also responsible for monitoring compliance with each Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as well as compliance with applicable law. The Board considered that Management's responsibilities include continual management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to each Fund, and considered information regarding Management's processes for managing risk. It also noted Management's activities under its contractual obligation to oversee the Funds' various outside service providers, including its renegotiation of certain service providers' fees and its evaluation of service providers' infrastructure, cybersecurity programs and business continuity programs, among other matters. The Board also considered Management's ongoing development of its own infrastructure and information technology to support the Funds through, among other things, cybersecurity, business continuity planning, and risk management. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management and NBEL, as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to either firm. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio managers' compensation and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds. The Board also considered the ability of Management and NBEL to attract and retain qualified personnel to service the Funds.
The Board noted that Management assumes significant ongoing risks with respect to all Funds, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks, for which Management is entitled to compensation. The Board also noted that when Management launches a new fund or share class, it assumes entrepreneurial risk with respect to that fund or class, and that some funds and share classes have been liquidated without ever having been profitable to Management.
As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it,
297
including the Department of Labor Fiduciary Rule. 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.
Fund Performance
The Board requested a report from an outside consulting firm that specializes in the analysis of fund industry data that compared each Fund's performance, along with its fees and other expenses, to a group of industry peers and a broad universe of similar peers. The Board considered each Fund's performance and fees in light of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing such 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 median performance of the composite peer group (constructed by the consulting firm) 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 to an extent, or over a period of time, that the Board found to raise concerns, the Board discussed with Management each such Fund's performance and evaluated steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance. The Board also met with the portfolio managers of certain Funds during the 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 the Agreements and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreements notwithstanding a Fund's underperformance.
Fee Rates, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreements as compared to the peer group provided by the consulting firm. With respect to Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund, the Board considered that the Fund invests in affiliated underlying funds and considered the fee structure for that arrangement. 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. Accordingly, the Board also considered each Fund's total expense ratio.
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. The Board also noted that for some classes of certain Funds, the overall expense ratio is maintained through a contractual or voluntary fee cap and/or expense reimbursements by Management.
In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates, including NBEL, by virtue of their relationship with each Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to that Fund, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses, including year-over-year changes in each of Management's reported expense categories. (The Board also reviewed data on Management's profit or loss on each Fund after distribution expenses and taxes were factored in, as indicators of the health of the business and the extent to which Management is directing its profits into the growth of the business.) The Board considered the cost allocation
298
methodology that Management used in developing its profitability figures. The Board engaged an independent forensic accountant to review the profitability methodology utilized by Management when preparing this information and discussed with the consultant its conclusion that Management's process for calculating and reporting its profit or loss was not unreasonable. Recognizing that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose and that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to different profit and loss results, the Board requested from Management examples of profitability calculated by different methods and noted that the profitability levels were still reasonable when calculated by these other methods. In addition, the Board recognized that Management's calculations regarding its costs may not reflect all risks, including regulatory, legal, operational, reputational, and, where appropriate, entrepreneurial risks, associated with offering and managing a mutual fund in the current regulatory and market environment. The Board also considered any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to Management or its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. The Board recognized that Management and its affiliates should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services they provide to each Fund and, based on its review, concluded that Management's reported level of profitability, if any, on each Fund was reasonable.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board also considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with investment objectives, policies and strategies that were similar to those of any of the Funds. In the cases where such funds or separate accounts exist, the Board compared the fees charged to the Fund to the fees charged to such comparable funds and/or separate accounts. The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to a Fund and such comparable funds and/or separate accounts, and determined that differences in fees and fee structures were consistent with the differences in the management and other services provided. The Board explored with Management its assertion that although, generally, the rates of fees paid by such accounts were lower than the fee rates paid by the corresponding Funds, the differences reflected Management's greater level of responsibilities and significantly broader scope of services regarding the Funds, the more extensive regulatory obligations and risks associated with managing the Funds, and other financial considerations with respect to creation and sponsorship of the Funds.
Economies of Scale
The Board also evaluated apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to each Fund. The Board considered whether each Fund's fee structure provides for a reduction of payments resulting from the use of breakpoints and whether any such breakpoints are set at appropriate asset levels. The Board gave careful thought to the size of any breakpoints in each Fund's advisory fees and the asset levels at which they are set. It also considered whether the breakpoints were set at an appropriate level and compared the breakpoint structure 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, and that this is a way of sharing economies of scale with the Funds and their shareholders.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
With regard to the investment performance of each Fund and the fees charged to each Fund, the Board considered the following information. The peer groups and broad universes of similar funds referenced in this section are those identified by the consulting firm, as discussed above; the risk/return ratios referenced are the Sharpe ratios. The data used to provide the benchmark comparison was provided by Management. In the case of underperformance for the periods reflected, the Board considered the magnitude of that underperformance relative to the peer group median and the benchmark (i.e., the amount by which a Fund underperformed, including, for example, whether the Fund slightly underperformed or significantly underperformed the peer group median or benchmark). Where a Fund has more than one class of shares outstanding, information for Institutional Class has been provided below. The Board also reviewed information related to the other classes of shares, some of which have higher fees and expenses reflecting their separate
299
distribution and servicing arrangements. The Board considered that, to the extent those classes have higher expenses, their performance will be lower than that of Institutional Class.
• 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 lower than the median for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1, 5, and 10-year periods, but lower for the 3-year period. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered the Fund's history of delivering performance above its benchmark for most historical periods and very close to the average performance of the broad universe of core bond funds, but with risk/return ratios that were better than the median of the broad universe, over the 3 and 5-year periods.
• 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 also noted that Management, in response to Board requests and/or market pressures, had recently lowered its fee caps for the Fund. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1 and 3-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1 and 3-year periods. The Fund was launched in 2013 and therefore does not have 5 or 10-year performance. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered the Fund's very strong performance versus its benchmark year-to-date through August 31, which placed it in the top decile against its peer group for the period. The Board met with a member of the portfolio management team to better understand the Fund's performance and volatility.
• 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 higher than the median for the 1-year period, 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. The Fund was launched in 2009 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. The Board met with the Portfolio Managers prior to renewing the contract. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered that for the 3 and 5-year periods, the Fund slightly out-performed the average of the broad universe of loan participation funds and showed a risk/return ratio that was better than the median of the broad universe for the same periods.
• 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 lower for the 1, 3, and 5-year periods. The Fund's Institutional Class was launched in 2009 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. The Board met with the portfolio managers to better understand the factors affecting the Fund's performance. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered management's representation that the Fund's underperformance largely reflected its positioning in the higher quality portion of the high income bond market. The Board also considered management's representation that this bias toward higher quality is not reflected in a comparison of the Fund's risk/return ratio to those of other funds in its broad universe because recent years have been a relatively benign period for high income corporate bonds of all ratings, as reflected in the fact that for an extended period of time the default rate for all high income bonds as a group has been lower than the long-term average default rate for high income bonds. The Board also considered that, although the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee were both higher than the respective medians, the Fund's total expense ratio was lower than the peer group median.

• 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 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 equal to 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 2015 and therefore does not have 3, 5 or 10-year performance. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered that the Fund showed strong year-to-date performance through August 31 and had outperformed its benchmark for the period since inception.
• 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 higher than the median for the 1 and 3-year periods, but lower than the median for the 5-year period. 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's Institutional Class was launched in 2010 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered that the Fund has performed well compared to its peer group and its benchmark, and that its risk/return ratio was better than the median of the broad universe of intermediate municipal debt funds for the 3 and 5-year periods.
• 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 higher than the median for the 1 and 3-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1 and 3-year periods. NBIA assumed the management of the Fund in 2013; therefore, the Fund does not have 5 or 10-year performance under Management's management. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered that the Fund has performed well compared to its peer group and its benchmark, and that its risk/return ratio was better than the median of the broad universe of New York intermediate municipal debt funds over the 3-year period.
• 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 lower for the 1 and 3-year periods, but higher for the 5-year period. The Fund's Institutional Class was launched in 2010 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered that Management added a new portfolio manager to the team in February 2017, that there had been a slight increase in performance year-to-date through August 31, and that the Fund's risk/return ratio was better than the median of the broad universe of short investment grade debt funds for the 5-year period.
• 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.

In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered management's representation that the Fund's underperformance largely reflected its positioning in the higher quality portion of the high income bond market. The Board also considered management's representation that this bias toward higher quality is not reflected in a
301
comparison of the Fund's risk/return ratio to those of other funds in its broad universe because recent years have been a relatively benign period for high income corporate bonds of all ratings, as reflected in the fact that for an extended period of time, the default rate for all high income bonds as a group has been lower than the long-term average default rate for high income bonds.
• 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 had both been higher than the respective medians. The Board also noted that Management, in response to Board requests and/or market pressures, had recently lowered its contractual management fees and fee caps for the Fund. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1, 5 and 10-year periods, but lower for the 3-year period. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered that the Fund out-performed its benchmark for the 1, 5 and 10-year periods and that its risk/return ratio was nearly equal to or was better than the median of multi-sector income funds for the 3 and 5-year periods. The Board also considered the Fund's strong performance year-to-date through August 31.
• Neuberger Berman Unconstrained 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 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 3, 5 or 10-year performance. In determining to renew the Management Agreement, the Board considered that the Fund performed well versus its benchmark year-to-date through August 31. The Board also considered that a new portfolio manager had been added to the team in February 2016.
Conclusions
In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable to each Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and NBEL could be expected to continue to provide a high level of service to each Fund; that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory over time, or, in the case of an underperforming Fund, that the Board 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 each Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund. The Board's conclusions 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.
