Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for the Neuberger Berman Income Funds.
The slow-but-positive U.S. economic expansion continued over the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 (reporting period), supported largely by resilient personal consumption and a strong labor market. In terms of the latter, the unemployment rate was reported at 3.6% in October 2019, close to its lowest reading in nearly 50 years. However, other areas of the U.S. economy showed signs of softening. For example, in August 2019, measures of manufacturing sector activity slipped into contraction territory, the first such occurrence in three years. Elsewhere, growth outside of the U.S. continued to weaken amid mounting global trade and geopolitical headwinds.
Against this backdrop, key central banks shifted away from a desire to normalize policy to a desire to support growth. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), after raising interest rates four times in calendar year 2018, lowered rates three times in 2019. Elsewhere, the European Central Bank cut policy rates and announced a new round of quantitative easing, while the Bank of Japan signaled they were prepared to implement more accommodative policy as needed.
U.S. Treasury yields rallied meaningfully over the reporting period. Both short- and long-dated Treasury yields declined, seemingly fueled by growing fears of moderating global growth. Furthermore, at times investors were drawn to the relative safety of government bonds given uncertainties surrounding the trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, questions regarding Brexit and a number of geopolitical issues.
In this environment, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 11.51% during the reporting period. Other fixed income subsectors also produced solid absolute returns, including investment-grade and non-investment grade credit, emerging markets debt and select securitized sectors.
Looking ahead, we anticipate the U.S. economy to continue its soft landing trajectory—supported by an accommodative Fed and resilient personal spending—while other regions and countries face more risk.
Thank you for your support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.
Sincerely,
JOSEPH V. AMATO
PRESIDENT AND CEO

Core Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a 11.24% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Index), which saw a 11.51% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall fixed income market generated strong results during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved sharply lower as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) had a "dovish pivot" and lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. In addition, global growth continued to moderate, partially due to the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S. and China. Investor sentiment was also challenged at times given uncertainties surrounding Brexit, numerous other geopolitical issues and a downturn in manufacturing activity. Against this backdrop, a number of central banks outside the U.S., including the European Central Bank, also introduced accommodative monetary policies, and government yields outside the U.S. also moved lower.
Security selection in investment grade credit was the largest contributor to relative performance versus the Index during the reporting period, primarily due to positive issuer selection in the banking, healthcare and food & beverage subsectors. The Fund was underweight corporate credit during the volatile November/December 2018 period. Given wider spreads and our view that global economic growth would moderate but remain positive, we briefly moved to overweight corporates in the first quarter of 2019. We then reduced our position to a neutral posture in the second quarter of 2019 and ended the period modestly underweight. These adjustments all contributed to relative performance. An overweight exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and an allocation to mortgage credit were other primary contributors to performance. Conversely, the Fund's allocation to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities detracted the most from results as future inflation expectations remained weak relative to inflation readings during the reporting period. Elsewhere, yield curve positioning, along with security selection in agency mortgage-backed securities, also detracted from results.
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. We moved from overweight to a neutral position in asset-backed securities (ABS), as their valuations became less attractive in our view. However, consumer balance sheets remained quite strong, which bodes well for ABS fundamentals. We increased the Fund's exposure to CMBS and mortgage credit, which we continue to view as attractive in light of still supportive commercial and residential real estate fundamentals. In addition, we opened a modest position in AAA rated collateralized loan obligations due to compelling relative valuations. Finally, we lengthened the Fund's duration modestly, ending the reporting period longer than the Index by roughly one third of a year.
Our main thesis since early 2019 has been that global growth would slow, but we would experience a global soft economic landing, which we believed would ultimately support a range of credit sectors. To date, that has been the case, but as we look forward, we believe we should bifurcate the outlook. For the U.S. in particular, we still believe in slow-but-positive growth: the base of consumption spending and labor trends means that it's difficult to envision a serious slowdown over the coming quarters. But for other regions and countries, we believe the soft landing is transitioning to something riskier. In our view, continental Europe, the U.K. and some major emerging market countries are seeing, and will likely continue to see, weak growth rates that may look and feel like recessions, even if technical definitions of a recession are not met.
Sincerely,
THANOS BARDAS, DAVID M. BROWN, NATHAN KUSH AND BRAD 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, 2019, the 30-day SEC yields were 2.60%, 3.00%, 2.60%, 1.85% and 3.11% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 2.34%, 2.90%, 2.52%, 1.78% and 2.99% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively.

Emerging Markets Debt Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund Institutional Class generated a 13.26% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 and underperformed its benchmark, a blend consisting of 50% J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index—Emerging Markets Global Diversified, 25% J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index—Global Diversified, and 25% J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index—Diversified (the Index), which delivered a 14.65% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, emerging markets (EM) debt experienced positive tailwinds supporting strong performance. The hard currency sovereign debt index (J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index-Global Diversified) delivered a 14.35% return, the corporate debt index (J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index-Diversified) delivered 12.81%, and the local currency index (J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets Global Diversified) returned 15.59%.
Following a drawdown in the closing months of 2018 after the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) rate hike, EM debt posted strong gains in 2019. The recovery was driven by spread compression as risk appetite returned to global markets, while a sharp drop in U.S. Treasury yields drove gains from March onwards as the market started to price in multiple rate cuts by the Fed for 2019. A more dovish monetary policy stance in developed markets also acted as a tailwind for EM assets, especially in local markets where local interest rates moved down. The ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and China contributed to market volatility over the reporting period, however, this has abated to the extent investors expect that the countries are moving toward "phase 1" of a trade agreement.
The primary driver of the Fund's underperformance versus the Index came from the overweight risk position in Argentina. Argentine assets grabbed headlines in August 2019, as hard currency sovereigns declined more than 50% in the month and the peso slumped. This occurred after the unexpected results of the presidential primary election mid-month which caused instability in the financial markets and led to extreme measures to stabilize the situation. This included the government's actions to re-profile its short-term local debt and the introduction of capital controls. The stress was compounded by the leading candidate, and ultimate winner, Alberto Fernandez who has blamed the Macri administration and the International Monetary Fund for the crisis, leading to further doubts on policy continuity if and when he would take over.
Aside from Argentina, in hard currency, country allocation detracted from performance due to the overweight exposure to Venezuela. This was somewhat mitigated by the underweight exposure to Lebanon and overweight to Ukraine. Security selection was positive because of instrument selection in Argentina and Venezuela. In the corporate space in addition to Argentina, the overweight exposure to Mexico and underweight to Russia detracted from performance. We added value primarily due to the overweight position and security selection in Brazil. By sector, security selection in the utilities, oil and gas, and real estate was positive while security selection in metals and mining was a drag on performance. The local currency part of the portfolio outperformed the benchmark, with both local rates and foreign currency (FX) positioning contributing positively. In local rates, our duration overweights in Mexico, Russia and Indonesia were the main contributors while in FX, our positions in select frontier market currencies including the Egyptian pound and the Ukrainian hryvnia added most value. Meanwhile positioning in Argentina was also the main detractor in local currency, mostly due to short end credit exposures as well as positions in local floaters and inflation-linked instruments, while our underweight in Asian currencies also detracted over the reporting period.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, and swap contracts, contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
Over the trailing 12 months, there were a number of changes across the portfolio. Within hard currency sovereigns, we increased the exposure to Indonesia, Ukraine and Russia where we saw fundamental improvements. We also have an underweight exposure to the Gulf countries which entered the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index—Global Diversified over the course of the year. We trimmed exposure to Turkey as policy risks have escalated and valuations became less attractive to us.
5
In corporate positioning, we actively participated in the new issuance market throughout the reporting period. We were particularly active in the Asian markets as Asia accounts for 65% of the new issuance supply this year. Overall, we added exposure in Mexican metals and mining, financials and telecom services as well as in Brazilian pulp and paper. We reduced exposure in Chile, Peru, and Thailand. By sector, we increased exposure to technology, media, and telecom as well as utilities while taking profits in metals and mining names.
On the local currency side, we reduced the risk profile earlier in the year by trimming the overall exposure to currencies and trimming the duration overweight in rates. However, we reestablished positions as global market conditions improved during the reporting period. On the rates side we reduced exposure to Colombia, where we moved underweight. In central & eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, we cut duration to Poland and Romania and neutralized our underweight in the Czech Republic. We also moved to an overweight position in Russia. In Asia we moved to overweight positions in China, Korea, and Indonesia. We were active in FX markets throughout the reporting period due to the volatility. The largest moves came in Russia and Turkey, where we are now overweight the ruble and underweight the lira. We moved from underweight to an overweight in the Chinese yuan and Malaysian ringgit, while removing our exposure to Sri Lanka. In Latin America, we moved from neutral to overweight in the Brazilian real and neutralized the position in the Peruvian sol.
Against the current backdrop of gradually slowing global growth, we are starting to see signs that different drivers of this slowdown are bottoming out, such as the lagged effects of monetary policy tightening in the U.S. and China and a dwindling of inventories. Together with a substantial de-escalation in the U.S.-China trade war, if it occurs, we believe this should raise confidence and improve the outlook for EM assets. We anticipate EM growth to decelerate this year but foresee a modest pickup in growth in 2020. Other cyclical indicators such as fiscal and current account balances have been favorable while inflation has been on a downward trajectory, allowing a continued accommodative monetary policy stance by EM central banks.

Floating Rate Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 2.12% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 and underperformed its benchmark, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the Index), which provided a 2.67% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The senior floating rate bank loan market, as measured by the Index, posted a positive return during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. The market was supported by a number of factors, including a "dovish pivot" by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), as it lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. While falling interest rates can create a technically challenging environment for the floating rate loan market, the backdrop of a more accommodative Fed was supportive of issuer fundamentals and investor risk sentiment. Additionally, the U.S. economy was resilient and corporate profits often exceeded lowered expectations. Late in the reporting period, there were also reports of progress in U.S./China trade negotiations. For the reporting period, securities rated BB and B in the Index returned 4.1% and 2.5%, respectively, whereas securities rated CCC returned -4.3%.
The Fund tactically adjusted its position upward in non-floating rate securities towards the end of the reporting period. We have the flexibility to allocate up to 20% of net assets to these securities, usually fixed-rate senior bonds. Relative value between floating rate loans and fixed-rate bonds fluctuated during the reporting period given the increase in volatility. Against this backdrop, the Fund's non-floating rate allocation in long term securities ended the reporting period at approximately 4.1% of net assets, which was modestly additive to performance.
In terms of the Fund's quality biases, an underweight to CCC and below rated issues added the most to performance versus the Index. Conversely, security selection within issues rated BB and an underweight to issues rated BBB detracted from results.
From a sector perspective, security selection within retailers and lodging & casinos, along with an underweight to home furnishings, added the most to performance during the reporting period. In contrast, security selection within electronics and drugs, coupled with an overweight to oil & gas, were the largest detractors from returns.
We continue to believe that yields in the loan market are compensating investors for a relatively benign default environment. While headline risk and market volatility remain potential risks, operating performance of most issuers has been relatively stable: revenue growth has been positive and leverage has risen only modestly. The ability of issuers to cover interest payments also remains relatively constructive. While economic growth has slowed, the Fed and other central banks continue to be supportive of monetary policy actions which would tend to shore up further deterioration in economic activity. While we believe the outlook for most issuer fundamentals remains constructive, risks continue to exist, including uncertainty around global growth expectations, U.S.-China trade policy and political event risk, which could lead to periods of volatility. We believe our portfolio is well-positioned to mitigate the downside as market volatility rises and we will look to tactically take advantage of increased volatility to add to credits with more stable and/or improving fundamentals and valuations.

High Income Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 7.72% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 and underperformed its benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Constrained Index (the Index), which provided an 8.32% 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 Index, generated strong results during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. After moving lower over the first two months of the reporting period, the high yield market posted positive returns during nine of the next ten months. The market's turnaround was triggered by a number of factors, including a "dovish pivot" by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), as it lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. In addition, the U.S. economy was resilient and corporate profits often exceeded lowered expectations. Late in the reporting period there were also reports of progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations.
From a sector perspective, an underweight to banking, and underweight to and security selection within super retail, and security selection within gas distribution detracted the most from performance. In contrast, an underweight to energy, along with security selection within support-services and metals/mining, contributed the most to results.
In terms of the Fund's quality biases, an underweight to CCC and below rated securities and security selection within B rated securities contributed the most to performance. Conversely, security selection within BB rated securities was the primary detractor from performance.
Among the adjustments we made to the portfolio over the reporting period, the Fund's allocations to securities rated B were increased by 15% and securities rated BB decreased 13% over the reporting period. The Fund ended the reporting period with a BB rated allocation below that of the Index and a B rated allocation above that of the Index. From a sector perspective, the Fund increased its allocations to consumer products & services, media—broadcast & diversified and aerospace & defense, while reducing its diversified financial services and energy exposures.
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that spreads are compensating investors for a relatively benign default environment. While headline risk and market volatility remain potential risks, operating performance of most issuers has been relatively stable; revenue growth has been positive and leverage has risen only modestly. We believe the ability of issuers to cover interest payments remains relatively constructive. Furthermore, refinancing activity has significantly reduced the amount of bonds maturing in the near term. While economic growth has slowed, the Fed and other central banks continue to be supportive of monetary policy actions which would tend to shore up further deterioration in economic activity. While we believe the outlook for most issuer fundamentals remains constructive, risks continue to exist, including uncertainty around global growth expectations, U.S.-China trade policy and political event risk, which could lead to periods of volatility. We believe our portfolio is well-positioned to provide downside protection as market volatility rises and we will look to tactically take advantage of increased volatility to add issuers with more stable and/or improving fundamentals and valuations.

Municipal High Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 9.62% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 and underperformed its benchmark, a blend consisting of 65% Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and 35% Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Index (the Index), which provided a 10.20% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
All told, for the reporting period, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 9.42% whereas the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 11.51%. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved sharply lower as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board had a "dovish pivot" and lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. Municipal securities were also supported by overall positive fundamentals, as well as strong investor demand at times.
Duration positioning detracted from the Fund's performance during the reporting period. In particular, having a duration that was modestly shorter than the Index was a headwind for results as rates moved lower across the yield curve. On the upside, security selection was additive for returns, led by our allocations to tobacco securitization bonds, Puerto Rico-issued bonds and Illinois state general obligation bonds. The Fund's credit biases were also beneficial for results. In particular, an overweight to securities rated below investment-grade and an underweight to securities rated AAA versus the Index contributed to results, as lower rated issues outperformed their higher rated counterparts.
A number of changes were made to the Fund during the reporting period. Despite recently increasing duration, the Fund's overall duration was shortened during the reporting period. In addition, we upgraded the overall credit quality of the portfolio.
Our main thesis since early 2019 has been that global growth would slow, but we would experience a global soft economic landing, which we believed would ultimately provide support for fixed income assets. Despite periods of volatility, we believe the outlook for the muni market continues to look promising for the balance of 2019. We anticipate that demand from retail and institutional investors will likely mitigate the larger than expected supply that may be present during the fourth quarter of 2019. While we anticipate economic growth to moderate, we do not anticipate any systemic deterioration in overall municipal credit quality. We continue to seek out attractive trading opportunities for our investors.
Sincerely,
JAMES L. ISELIN, S. BLAKE MILLER AND ERIC J. PELIO

Municipal Impact Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Municipal Impact Fund Institutional Class generated an 8.93% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Over the same period the Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the Index), returned 9.42%. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The investment grade municipal bond market generated a strong absolute return, but lagged the taxable bond market on a relative basis during 12 months ended October 31, 2019. All told, for the reporting period, the Index returned 9.42% whereas the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 11.51%. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved sharply lower as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board had a "dovish pivot" and lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. Municipal securities were also supported by overall positive fundamentals, as well as strong investor demand at times.
Duration positioning was a headwind for the Fund's performance during the reporting period. In particular, having a duration that was shorter than the Index detracted from results versus the Index as rates moved lower across the yield curve. On the upside, security selection, overall, was additive for returns, led by our longer-term hospital revenue bonds. The Fund's credit biases were also beneficial for results. Having an overweight versus the Index to below investment-grade securities and an underweight to securities rated AAA contributed to results, as lower rated issues outperformed their higher rated counterparts.
A number of changes were made to the Fund during the reporting period. We modestly shortened the Fund's overall duration during the reporting period. We also opportunistically added to the Fund's exposure to non-investment grade securities.
Our main thesis since early 2019 has been that global growth would slow, but we would experience a global soft economic landing, which we believed would ultimately provide support for fixed income assets. Despite periods of volatility, we believe the outlook for the muni market continues to look promising for the balance of 2019. We anticipate that demand from retail and institutional investors will likely mitigate the larger than expected supply that may be present during the fourth quarter of 2019. While we anticipate economic growth to moderate, we do not anticipate any systemic deterioration in overall municipal credit quality. We continue to seek out attractive trading opportunities for our investors.

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, 2019, the 30-day SEC yields were 1.32%, 0.96% and 0.22% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The tax-equivalent yields were 2.23%, 1.62% and 0.37% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for a shareholder in the highest federal income tax bracket (37% plus 3.8% Medicare contribution tax).9 Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 0.91%, 0.51% and -0.47% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. A negative 30-day SEC yield results when a fund's accrued expenses exceed its income for the relevant period. Please note, in such instances the 30-day SEC yield may not equal the Fund's actual rate of income earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, a per share distribution may still be paid to shareholders.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratio for fiscal year 2018 was 0.91% for Institutional Class, and the estimated total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2019 are 1.18% and 1.93% for Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any, and after restatement for Institutional Class shares). The expense ratio for fiscal year 2018 was 0.43% for Institutional Class and the estimated total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2019 are 0.80% and 1.55% for Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers and/or restatement. The restated Institutional Class expense ratio for the fiscal year ended 2018 does not include the portion of extraordinary proxy-related expenses borne by the Institutional Class. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2019 can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Investor Class generated an 8.46% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year General Obligation (G.O.) Index (the Index), which provided an 8.63% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The investment grade municipal bond market generated a strong absolute return, but lagged the taxable bond market on a relative basis during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. All told, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 9.42% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, whereas the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 11.51%. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved sharply lower as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board had a "dovish pivot" and lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. Municipal securities were also supported by overall positive fundamentals, as well as strong investor demand at times.
From a security selection perspective, certain of our longer-term holdings that we added later in the reporting period detracted from performance versus the Index as rates moved higher in October 2019. On the upside, the Fund's allocations to Illinois, Connecticut and New Jersey state G.O. bonds were additive for results. The Fund's credit biases contributed to returns during the reporting period. In particular, having overweights to securities rated BBB and A versus the Index benefited results as lower rated investment grade issues outperformed their higher rated AAA counterparts. Having a modestly longer duration than the Index contributed to returns, as did our yield curve positioning.
In terms of changes to the portfolio, we slightly shortened the Fund's overall duration during the reporting period. Meanwhile, we maintained a barbell approach (investing in shorter and longer maturities) versus the Index.
Our main thesis since early 2019 has been that global growth would slow, but we would experience a global soft economic landing, which we believed would ultimately provide support for fixed income assets. Despite periods of volatility, we believe the outlook for the muni market continues to look promising for the balance of 2019. We anticipate that demand from retail and institutional investors will likely mitigate the larger than expected supply that may be present during the fourth quarter of 2019. While we anticipated economic growth to moderate, we do not anticipate any systemic deterioration in overall municipal credit quality.

Short Duration Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 4.40% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index (the Index), which provided a 4.89% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall fixed income market generated strong results during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved sharply lower as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) had a "dovish pivot" and lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. In addition, global growth continued to moderate, partially due to the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S. and China. Investor sentiment was also challenged at times given uncertainties surrounding Brexit and a number of geopolitical issues. Against this backdrop, a number of central banks outside the U.S., including the European Central Bank, also introduced accommodative monetary policies, and government yields outside the U.S. also moved lower.
The primary detractor from the Fund's relative performance versus the Index during the reporting period was its duration positioning. We began the reporting period with a neutral posture and then moved to a more defensive duration position as economic growth in the U.S. remained solid. This was a headwind for results as the market priced in what we felt were aggressive Fed rate cuts as 2019 progressed, whereas our estimation was that the Fed would remain on hold. We then moved back to a neutral duration position in September 2019. Elsewhere, the Fund's allocation to asset-backed securities (ABS) was a modest detractor from returns. On the upside, the Fund's overweight allocation to investment-grade corporate bonds was beneficial as their spreads tightened. Elsewhere, the Fund's exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) contributed to performance as their spreads also narrowed.
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. That being said, we pared further the Fund's exposures to Treasuries and cash. Those proceeds were redeployed into corporate bonds, ABS and CMBS. Meanwhile, we actively participated in the primary and secondary credit markets when we found individual securities that we believed were attractively valued.
Looking ahead, we anticipate the U.S. economy to experience a soft landing, followed by continued expansion. Supporting the economy, in our view, will be a healthy labor market and wage growth which, in turn, should lead to solid consumer spending. Against this backdrop, we believe the Fed will remain on hold for the time being while it analyzes incoming economic data. As we move into 2020 we anticipate periods of market volatility. This may be triggered by any number of factors, including uncertainties regarding the November 2020 elections, ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and China and potential geopolitical factors. We view market volatility as potential opportunities to purchase securities at attractive valuations.
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 6.06% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 and underperformed its benchmark, the ICE BofAML 0-5 Year BB-B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index (the Index), which provided a 6.89% 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 12 months ended October 31, 2019. After moving lower over the first two months of the reporting period, the high yield market posted positive returns during nine of the next ten months. The market's turnaround was triggered by a number of factors, including a "dovish pivot" by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed), as it lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. In addition, the U.S. economy was resilient and corporate profits often exceeded lowered expectations. Late in the reporting period there were also reports of progress in U.S./China trade negotiations.
For the Fund, the sectors that contributed the most to absolute performance were health care, metals/mining, media-cable and diversified financial services. The sectors that detracted or contributed the least to absolute performance during the reporting period were energy, technology & electronics and real estate & homebuilders. From a quality perspective, approximately 97% of the portfolio was held in securities rated B and higher and cash. This positioning was accretive to the Fund's absolute performance.
During the reporting period, the Fund increased its allocations to consumer products & services and capital goods, while reducing its allocation to media—cable, diversified financial services and health care.
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that spreads are compensating investors for a relatively benign default environment. While headline risk and market volatility remain potential risks, operating performance of most issuers has been relatively stable; revenue growth has been positive and leverage has risen only modestly. We believe the ability of issuers to cover interest payments remains relatively constructive. Furthermore, refinancing activity has significantly reduced the amount of bonds maturing in the near term. While economic growth has slowed, the Fed and other central banks continue to be supportive of monetary policy actions which would tend to shore up further deterioration in economic activity. While we believe the outlook for most issuer fundamentals remains constructive, risks continue to exist, including uncertainty around global growth expectations, U.S.-China trade policy and political event risk, which could lead to periods of volatility. We believe our portfolio is well-positioned to provide downside protection as market volatility rises and we will look to tactically take advantage of increased volatility to add issuers with more stable and/or improving fundamentals and valuations.

Strategic Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 7.87% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, but underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Index), which provided a 11.51% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall fixed income market generated strong results during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved sharply lower as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board had a "dovish pivot" and lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. In addition, global growth continued to moderate, partially due to the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S. and China. Investor sentiment was also challenged at times given uncertainties surrounding Brexit, numerous other geopolitical issues and a downturn in manufacturing activity. Against this backdrop, a number of central banks outside the U.S., including the European Central Bank, also introduced accommodative monetary policies, and government yields outside the U.S. also moved lower.
The Fund's duration underweight versus the Index was the primary detractor from relative performance versus the Index, as U.S. Treasuries rallied over the reporting period. To a lesser degree, security selection in agency mortgage-backed securities and an allocation to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities also weighed on results. The Fund's exposure to emerging markets debt helped partially offset these headwinds, as the sector benefited from dovish central bank policy and easing financial conditions in developed markets. Security selection in investment-grade credit was another notable contributor, with issuer selection in the banking and food & beverage subsectors adding the most value. Elsewhere, exposure to high-yield credit (both U.S. dollar and euro-denominated) contributed to performance during the reporting period.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, swaps and forward currency and bond forward contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
There were several adjustments made to the portfolio during the reporting period. We reduced the Fund's exposure to emerging markets debt and European corporate credit following strong performance in the first half of 2019. In addition, we saw heightened growth risks associated with global trade and manufacturing. We have increased our allocations to senior floating rate loans, collateralized loan obligations and floating-rate investment-grade corporates. We believe there are compelling risk-adjusted opportunities in these sectors as recent underperformance has been primarily due to technical reasons rather than fundamentals. Within high-yield credit, we have been focusing exposure in domestic and services-oriented issuers, which we believe are more insulated from trade-related volatility.
Our main thesis since early 2019 has been that global growth would slow, but we would experience a global soft economic landing, which we believed would ultimately support a range of credit sectors. To date, that has been the case but, as we look forward, we believe we should bifurcate the outlook. For the U.S. in particular, we still believe in slow-but-positive growth: the base of consumption spending and labor trends means that it's difficult to envision a serious slowdown over the coming quarters. But for other regions and countries, we believe the soft landing is transitioning to something riskier. In our view, continental Europe, the U.K. and some major emerging market countries are seeing, and will likely continue to see, weak growth rates that may look and feel like recessions, even if technical definitions of a recession are not met.

Unconstrained Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a -1.66% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. In contrast, its benchmark, the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the Index), provided a 2.40% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall fixed income market generated strong results during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved sharply lower as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) had a "dovish pivot" and lowered interest rates three times during the second half of the reporting period. In addition, global growth continued to moderate, partially due to the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S. and China. Investor sentiment was also challenged at times given uncertainties surrounding Brexit, numerous other geopolitical issues and a downturn in manufacturing activity. Against this backdrop, a number of central banks outside the U.S., including the European Central Bank, also introduced accommodative monetary policies, and government yields outside the U.S. also moved lower.
The Fund's short exposures to U.S. and core European rates were the primary detractors from performance versus the Index, due to the rally in developed markets government bond yields. Elsewhere, the Fund's allocation to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS) and global inflation-linked bonds modestly weighed on results, as future inflation expectations remained weak relative to inflation readings during the reporting period. On the upside, the Fund's exposure to emerging markets (EM) debt, both hard and local currency, contributed the most to results over the reporting period. EM assets in particular benefited from dovish central bank policy and easing financial conditions in developed markets. The Fund's exposure to global investment-grade credit—both U.S. dollar and euro-denominated—was another notable contributor to returns given spreads tightening over the reporting period. The Fund's currency positioning also aided performance.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures (including options on futures), forward foreign currency, and swap contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
There were several adjustments made to the portfolio during the reporting period. We further reduced our negative duration by roughly half a year (moving it closer to zero), with shorts focused in U.S. and core European rates. We maintained exposure to TIPS, as we believe the Fed has a strong desire to see inflation move modestly higher. In addition, in our view, TIPS still appear attractively priced relative to fundamentals. In corporate credit, we have realized some profits in European investment-grade and high-yield following solid performance. We also believe relative value in corporate credit has shifted to the U.S. Elsewhere, we remain overweight EM sovereign bonds in hard and local currency, and favor countries where we see sound fundamentals and which are supported by fiscal reforms and strong international support.
Our main thesis since early 2019 has been that global growth would slow, but we would experience a global soft economic landing, which we believed would ultimately support a range of credit sectors. To date, that has been the case, but as we look forward, we believe we should bifurcate the outlook. For the U.S. in particular, we still believe in slow-but-positive growth: the base of consumption spending and labor trends means that it's difficult to envision a serious slowdown over the coming quarters. But for other regions and countries, we believe the soft landing is transitioning to something riskier. In our view, continental Europe, the U.K. and some major emerging market countries are seeing, and will likely continue to see, weak growth rates that may look and feel like recessions, even if technical definitions of a recession are not met.

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, 2019 and held for the entire period. The table illustrates the Fund's costs in two ways:
Actual Expenses and Performance: | | The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in dollars, based on the Fund's actual performance during the period indicated. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section of the table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. | |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: | | The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return at 5% per year before expenses. This return is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund versus other funds. To do so, compare the expenses shown in this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. | |
Please note that the expenses in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) (if applicable). Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements Income Funds
Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
1 General: Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Instrument dated March 27, 2014. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Each of Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund ("Core Bond"), Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund ("Emerging Markets Debt"), Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund ("Floating Rate Income"), Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund ("High Income"), Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund ("Municipal High Income"), Neuberger Berman Municipal Impact Fund ("Municipal Impact"), Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund ("Municipal Intermediate Bond"), 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) is diversified. Under the 1940 Act, the status of a Fund that was registered as non-diversified may, under certain circumstances, change to that of a diversified fund (Unconstrained Bond became diversified in December 2017). Additionally, Municipal Impact became diversified in June 2018 in connection with its investment strategy change. Four Funds offer Investor Class shares, two offer Trust Class shares, eleven 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. The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.
A balance indicated with a "—", reflects either a zero balance or a balance that rounds to less than 1.
The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other.
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 "Financial Services—Investment Companies."
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management" or "NBIA") to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2 Portfolio valuation: In accordance with ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of the Funds are carried at the value that Management believes a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds' investments, some of which are discussed below. 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)
242
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, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and exchange-traded options purchased 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 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 yield curves, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, comparable securities, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available ("Other Market Information").
Convertible Bonds. Inputs used to value convertible bonds generally include underlying stock data, dealer quotes, conversion premiums, listed bond and preferred stock prices and other market information, which may include benchmark curves, trade execution data, and sensitivity analysis, when available.
U.S. Treasury 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.
243
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).
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 bond forwards is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using a model that considers the current price of the underlying bond and the forward curve (Level 2 inputs).
The value of interest rate swaps is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on references to the underlying rates including the local overnight index swap rate and the respective interbank offered forward rate to produce the daily price. The present value is calculated based off of expected cash flows based on swap parameters along with reference to the underlying yield curve and reference rate (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.
Investments in non-exchange traded investment companies are valued using the respective fund's daily calculated net asset value ("NAV") per share (Level 2 inputs).
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 ICE Data Pricing and Reference Data LLC ("ICE") to evaluate the prices of foreign debt securities as of the time as of which a Fund's share price is calculated. ICE utilizes benchmark spread and yield curves and evaluates available market activity from the local close to the time as of which a Fund's share price is calculated (Level 2 inputs) to assist in determining prices for certain foreign debt securities. In the absence of precise information about the market values of these foreign securities as of the time as of which a Fund's share
244
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, 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.
4 Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon as a Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations. Included in net realized gain/(loss) on investments are proceeds from the settlement of class action litigation(s) in which certain of the Funds participated as a class member. The amounts of such proceeds for the year ended October 31, 2019, were $5,211, $19,428 and $150 for Core Bond, Short Duration and Strategic Income, respectively.
5 Income tax information: Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC") by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. To the extent a Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.
The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired. As of October 31, 2019, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund. The Funds may also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of their shares as a part of the dividends-paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Any permanent differences resulting from different book and tax treatment are reclassified at year-end and have no impact on net income, NAV or NAV per share of the Funds. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications primarily related to one or more of the following: gains (losses) & tax adjustments on securities redeemed in kind; adjustments to the prior period accumulated balances, distribution in excess and expiration of capital loss carryforwards. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

The temporary differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: losses disallowed and/or recognized on wash sales and straddles; timing differences of fund level distributions, mark-to-market adjustments on swaps, futures and forwards; amortization of bond premium, bank loan tax adjustments, loss limitation due to ownership change, unamortized organization expenses and tax adjustments related to treasury inflation protection securities, ("TIPS"), swap contracts and other investments.

To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. Capital loss carryforward rules allow for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term. As determined at October 31, 2019, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:
| | Capital Loss Carryforwards | |
| | Long-Term | | Short-Term | |
Core Bond | | $ | 2,341,288 | | | $ | — | | |

During the year ended October 31, 2019, Core Bond, Emerging Markets Debt, Municipal High Income, Municipal Impact and Short Duration, utilized capital loss carryforwards of $5,960,710, $532,754, $183,838, $45,851 and $583,440, respectively.
During the year ended October 31, 2019, Floating Rate Income and Short Duration had capital loss carryforwards expire of $835,287 and $1,276,932, respectively.
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 its classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
8 Dollar rolls: Core Bond, Emerging Markets Debt, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration, Short Duration High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond may enter into dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities. In a dollar roll transaction, a Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously agrees to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type and coupon) securities on a specified future date from the same party. During the period before this repurchase, a Fund forgoes principal and interest payments on the securities. A Fund is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and
248
the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the "drop"), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Dollar rolls may increase fluctuations in a Fund's NAV and may be viewed as a form of leverage. There is a risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses to a Fund.
9 When-issued/delayed delivery securities: Each Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time a Fund enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the NAV. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to a Fund until payment takes place. At the time a Fund enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions can have a leverage-like effect on a Fund, which can increase fluctuations in the Fund's NAV. Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.
10 Foreign taxes: Foreign taxes withheld pertaining to interest or dividends, if any, represent amounts withheld by foreign tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.
Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income accrue capital gains tax on unrealized and realized gains for certain securities. At October 31, 2019, Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income had accrued capital gains taxes of $80,977 and $2,654 respectively, which is reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended October 31, 2019, Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income had realized capital gains taxes of $6,898 and $3,788, respectively, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations.
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 Securities lending: Each Fund, using State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its lending agent, may loan securities to qualified brokers and dealers in exchange for negotiated lender's fees. These fees, if any, would be disclosed within the Statements of Operations under the caption "Income from securities loaned-net" and are net of expenses retained by State Street as compensation for its services as lending agent.
The initial cash collateral received by a Fund at the beginning of each transaction shall have a value equal to at least 102% of the prior day's market value of the loaned securities (105% in the case of international securities). Thereafter, the value of the cash collateral is monitored on a daily basis, and cash collateral is moved daily between a counterparty and a Fund until the close of the transaction. A Fund may only receive collateral in the form of cash (U.S. dollars). Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of State Street. The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities loaned and any interest earned or dividends paid or owed on those securities during the term of the loan would accrue to the Fund.
As of October 31, 2019, the Funds did not participate in securities lending.
13 Derivative instruments: Certain Funds' use of derivatives during the year ended October 31, 2019, is described below. Please see the Schedule of Investments for each Fund's open positions in derivatives, if any, at October 31, 2019. The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The disclosure
249
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, 2019, Core Bond used futures to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund, including to adjust the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund's portfolio. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Emerging Markets Debt and Short Duration used futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Strategic Income and 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 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.
Bond forward contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Strategic Income used bond forwards to obtain economic exposure in the Fund to certain markets and securities. A bond forward is a contractual agreement between a Fund and another party to buy or sell an underlying asset at an agreed-upon future price and date. In a bond forward transaction, no cash premium is paid when the parties enter into the bond forward. If the transaction is collateralized, an exchange of margin collateral will take place according to an agreed-upon schedule. Otherwise, no asset of any kind changes hands until the bond forward matures (typically in 30 days) or is rolled over for another agreed-upon period. Generally, the value of the bond forward will change based on changes in the value of the underlying asset. Bond forwards are subject to market risk (the risk that the market value of the underlying bond may change), non-correlation risk (the risk that the market value of the bond forward might move independently of the market value of the underlying bond) and counterparty credit risk (the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its obligation under the contract). If there is no cash exchanged at the time a Fund enters into the bond forward, counterparty risk may be limited to the loss of any marked-to-market profit on the contract and any delays or limitations on the Fund's ability to sell or otherwise use the investments posted as collateral for the bond forward.
250
Forward foreign currency contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Emerging Markets Debt used forward contracts to manage or adjust views on foreign exchange rate movements and currency exposure, to apply 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, 2019, Strategic Income used forward contracts to manage or adjust the risk profile for foreign currency exposures in the Fund, to obtain or reduce economic exposure, to establish net short or long positions for markets or securities and to enhance total return. During the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 settlement of forward foreign currency contracts" in the Statements of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in a Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and the risk the counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligation.
Credit default swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Emerging Markets Debt used credit default swaps to manage or adjust credit risk of the Fund, to take advantage of the portfolio managers' views on credit risk, market pricing of credit events and in an effort to leverage risk exposures by selling protection. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Strategic Income and 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 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.
251
Interest rate swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Emerging Markets Debt used interest rate swaps to manage or adjust interest rate risk of the Fund, to take advantage of the portfolio managers' views on interest rates and market pricing of future monetary policy, to obtain exposure on a maturity horizon where bonds are illiquid or are unavailable, and to obtain leveraged rate positions. During the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 paid by one party to the other on a periodic basis and netted against each other when applicable. 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.
Cross currency swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Emerging Markets Debt used cross currency swaps to manage or adjust interest rate risk of the Fund, to take advantage of the portfolio managers' views on interest rates and market pricing of future monetary policy, to obtain exposure on a maturity horizon where bonds are illiquid or are unavailable, and to obtain leveraged 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.
252
Options: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Unconstrained Bond used options on exchange-traded futures contracts ("futures option") 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.
Premiums paid by a Fund upon purchasing a call or put option are recorded in the asset section of the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, a Fund realizes a gain or loss and the asset is eliminated. For purchased call options, a Fund's loss is limited to the amount of the option premium paid.
Premiums received by a Fund upon writing a call option or a put option are recorded in the liability section of the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, a Fund realizes a gain or loss and the liability is eliminated.
When writing a covered call option, a Fund, in return for the premium, gives up the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the underlying security above the exercise price, but conversely retains the risk of loss should the price of the security decline. When writing a put option, a Fund, in return for the premium, takes the risk that it must purchase the underlying security at a price that may be higher than the current market price of the security. If a call or put option that a Fund has written expires unexercised, a Fund will realize a gain for the amount of the premium. All securities covering outstanding written options are held in escrow by the custodian bank.
A Fund may write or purchase futures option to hedge an existing position or future investment, for speculative purposes or to manage exposure to market movements. A futures option is an option contract in which the underlying instrument is a specific futures contract.
At October 31, 2019, the Funds listed below had the following derivatives (which did not qualify as hedging instruments under ASC 815), grouped by primary risk exposure:

While the Funds may receive redeemable preference shares, rights and warrants in connection with their investments in securities, these preference shares, rights and warrants are not considered "derivative instruments" under ASC 815.
Management has concluded that the Funds, except Core Bond, Emerging Markets Debt, Short Duration, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond, did not hold any derivative instruments during the year ended October 31, 2019, that require additional disclosures pursuant to ASC 815.
The Funds are required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowing transactions that are eligible for offset or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. Emerging Markets Debt, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond held investments in these securities at October 31, 2019. The Funds' derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type are reported gross in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present derivative assets and liabilities, by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting or similar agreement and net of the related collateral received by a Fund for assets and pledged by a Fund for liabilities as of October 31, 2019.

(a) 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, 2019, in the event of a counterparty failure.
(c) Net Amount represents amounts under-collateralized to each counterparty as of October 31, 2019.
14 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.
15 Investment company securities and exchange-traded funds: The Funds may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, including ETFs, within the limitations prescribed by (a) the 1940 Act, (b) the exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("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, subject to the terms and conditions of such order, or (c) the ETF's exemptive order or other relief. 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
260
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 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, 2019, the value of unfunded loan commitments was $53,612 for Floating Rate Income pursuant to the following loan agreement:
Floating Rate Income
Borrower | | Principal Amount | | Value | |
Merlin Entertainments PLC, Term Loan B DD, due 10/17/2026(a) | | $ | 53,434 | | | $ | 53,612 | | |
(a) Variable or floating rate security. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of October 31, 2019 and changes periodically.
17 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, a 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, 2019, Strategic Income realized a net loss of $(1,794,284) on $31,646,140 of in-kind redemptions.
18 Other: All net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each Fund are allocated, on the basis of relative net assets, pro rata among its respective classes.
Note B—Investment Management Fees, Administration Fees, Distribution Arrangements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
Each Fund retains NBIA as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, each Fund pays NBIA an investment management fee as a percentage of average daily net assets according to the following table:
| | First $250 million | | Next $250 million | | Next $250 million | | Next $250 million | | Next $500 million | | Next $500 million | | Thereafter | |

Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2019, the investment management fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of each Fund's average daily net assets, as follows:
| | Effective Rate | |
Core Bond | | | 0.25 | % | |
Municipal High Income | | | 0.40 | % | |
Municipal Impact | | | 0.25 | % | |
Municipal Intermediate Bond | | | 0.22 | % | |
Short Duration | | | 0.20 | % | |
Each Fund retains NBIA as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. The administration fee is assessed at the Class level and each share class of a Fund, as applicable, pays NBIA an annual administration fee equal to the following: 0.27% for each of Investor Class, Class A, Class C and Class R3; 0.50% for Trust Class of Short Duration; 0.40% for Trust Class of Strategic Income; 0.15% for Institutional Class; and 0.05% for Class R6 (0.08% prior to December 6, 2018), each as a percentage of its average daily net assets. Additionally, NBIA retains State Street as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. NBIA pays State Street a fee for all services received under the Sub-Administration Agreement.
NBIA has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Investor Class, Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R6 of each Fund that offers those classes so that the total annual operating expenses of those classes do not exceed the expense limitations as detailed in the following table. These undertakings exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, if any (commitment fees relating to borrowings are treated as interest for purposes of this exclusion) ("annual operating expenses"); consequently, net expenses may exceed the contractual expense limitations.
At October 31, 2019, contingent liabilities to NBIA under the agreements were as follows:

Each Fund has agreed that each of its respective classes will repay NBIA for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for that class provided that repayment does not cause that class's annual operating expenses to exceed
264
its contractual expense limitation in place at the time the fees and expenses were waived or reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays NBIA, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which NBIA incurred the expense.
During the year ended October 31, 2019, there was no repayment to NBIA under these agreements.
Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL"), as the sub-adviser to Emerging Markets Debt and Unconstrained Bond, is retained by NBIA to choose each Fund's investments and handle its day-to-day business for the portion of each Fund's assets allocated to it by NBIA, and receives a monthly fee paid by NBIA. As investment manager, NBIA is responsible for overseeing the investment activities of NBEL. Several individuals who are Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of NBEL and/or NBIA.
Each Fund also has a distribution agreement with Neuberger Berman BD LLC (the "Distributor") with respect to each class of shares. The Distributor acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without sales commission or other compensation, except as described below, and bears the advertising and promotion expenses.
However, the Distributor receives fees from Core Bond's Investor Class, Strategic Income's Trust Class, High Income's Class R3, and each Fund's Class A and Class C under their distribution plans (each a "Plan", collectively, the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans provide that, as compensation for administrative and other services provided to these classes, the Distributor's activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, the Distributor receives from each of these respective classes a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of Core Bond Investor Class', Core Bond Class A's, Emerging Markets Debt Class A's, Floating Rate Income Class A's, High Income Class A's, Municipal High Income Class A's, Municipal Impact Class A's, Municipal Intermediate Bond Class A's, Short Duration Class A's, Short Duration High Income Class A's, Strategic Income Class A's and Unconstrained Bond Class A's average daily net assets; 0.10% of Strategic Income Trust Class' average daily net assets; 0.50% of High Income Class R3's average daily net assets; and 1.00% of Core Bond Class C's, Emerging Markets Debt Class C's, Floating Rate Income Class C's, High Income Class C's, Municipal High Income Class C's, Municipal Impact 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.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, Neuberger Berman, acting as underwriter and broker-dealer, received net initial sales charges from the purchase of Class A shares and CDSCs from the redemption of Class A and Class C shares as follows:

Note E—Line of Credit:
At October 31, 2019, 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
268
companies managed by NBIA also participate in this line of credit on substantially the same terms. 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 interest charged on any borrowing made by such Fund and other costs incurred by such Fund. Because several mutual funds participate in the Credit Facility, there is no assurance that an individual Fund will have access to all or any part of the $700,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility at October 31, 2019.
During the year ended October 31, 2019, the following Fund had borrowings under the Credit Facility:
Fund | | Number of Days Borrowed | | Greatest Amount Borrowed | | Average Interest Rate | | Interest Paid(1) | |
Floating Rate Income | | | 11 | | | $ | 40,000,000 | | | | 3.37 | % | | $ | 25,503 | | |
(1) Interest paid is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Interest expense."
Note F—Investments in Affiliates(a):
At October 31, 2019, the following Funds were held by other affiliated funds which are also managed by NBIA:

Note G—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 named over five hundred other institutional investors as defendants. The lawsuit did not allege any misconduct by the defendants, but sought 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 alleged 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
269
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 sought 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 February 1, 2019, the parties informed the Bankruptcy Court that they reached an agreement on terms to resolve the lawsuit. On May 10, 2019, the settlement agreement was signed by all the parties necessary to commence the Bankruptcy Court approval process. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the settlement agreement on June 13, 2019 and as part of the settlement the Fund was reimbursed a percentage of the legal expenses incurred in defending the lawsuit (approximately $23,416).
Note H—Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, "Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities" ("ASU 2017-08"). ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period to the earliest call date for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this guidance.
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement") ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will require the disclosure of the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and the changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will also require that information is provided about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and allows for early adoption of either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the disclosure requirements. Management has elected to adopt early the provisions that eliminate the disclosure requirements. Management is still currently evaluating the impact of applying the rest of the guidance.

§ 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 Class R3 | | | 1.35 | % | |
^^ Portfolio turnover is calculated at the Fund level. Percentage indicated was calculated for the year ended October 31, 2019, for Core Bond and for the year ended October 31, 2018, for Municipal Impact.
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 will fluctuate and shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than original cost. Total return would have been lower if Management had not reimbursed and/or waived certain expenses. Total return would have been higher if Management had not recouped previously reimbursed and/or waived expenses.
b The class action proceeds listed in Note A of the Notes to Financial Statements, if any, had no impact on the Funds' total returns for the year ended October 31, 2019. The class action proceeds received in 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 had no impact on the Funds' total returns for the years ended October 31, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
c Excluding mortgage dollar roll transactions. Had mortgage dollar roll transactions been included, the portfolio turnover rate would have been:
| | Year Ended October 31, | |
| | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2017 | | 2016 | | 2015 | |
Core Bond | | | 187 | % | | | 224 | % | | | 269 | % | | | 222 | % | | | 240 | % | |
Strategic Income | | | 325 | % | | | 345 | % | | | 352 | % | | | 363 | % | | | 357 | % | |
Unconstrained Bond | | | 86 | % | | | 77 | % | | | 88 | % | | | 65 | % | | | 86 | % | |
d The voluntary contribution received in 2015 for Emerging Markets Debt had no impact on the Fund's total returns for the year ended October 31, 2015.

Notes to Financial Highlights Income Funds (cont'd)
e The custodian expenses refund noted in (f) below is non-recurring and is included in these ratios. Had High Income and Municipal Impact not received the refund, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average net assets and the annualized ratios of net investment income/(loss) to average net assets would have been:
| | Ratio of Net Expenses to Average Net Assets | | Ratio of Net Investment Income/(Loss) to Average Net Assets | |
| | Year Ended October 31, 2017 | |
High Income Bond Investor Class | | | 0.84 | % | | | 5.34 | % | |
High Income Bond Institutional Class | | | 0.70 | % | | | 5.49 | % | |
High Income Bond Class A | | | 1.14 | % | | | 5.05 | % | |
High Income Bond Class C | | | 1.81 | % | | | 4.38 | % | |
High Income Bond Class R3 | | | 1.37 | % | | | 4.81 | % | |
High Income Bond Class R6 | | | 0.61 | % | | | 5.56 | % | |
Municipal Impact Institutional Class | | | 0.92 | % | | | 2.23 | % | |
f 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, and refunded to High Income and Municipal Impact Funds certain expenses, plus interest, determined to be payable to those Funds for the period in question. These amounts were refunded to those Funds by State Street during the year ended October 31, 2017. These amounts had no impact on High Income's and Municipal Impact's total returns for the year ended October 31, 2017.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Neuberger Berman Income Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund, Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund, Neuberger Berman Municipal Impact Fund, and Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund (the "Funds"), each a series of Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust"), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2019, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, 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 five years in the period then ended (with respect to Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund, for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period June 22, 2015 to October 31, 2015), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of October 31, 2019, 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 their financial highlights for the periods stated above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2005.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, companies and brokers; when replies were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Consideration of the Management Agreements
On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or of Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreements with Management (the "Management Agreements") with respect to each series 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 12, 2019, 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; quality and cost of portfolio trade 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 legal advice furnished to them by Independent Counsel; their own business judgment; and developments in the industry, in the markets, in mutual fund regulation and litigation, and in Management's business model.
305
The Independent Fund Trustees received from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Contract Review Committee and the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management and NBEL.
Provided below is a description of the Board's contract approval process and material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding renewals of the Agreements and the compensation to be paid thereunder. In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreements, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to each Fund, and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of each 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. The Board considered each Fund's investment management and sub-advisory agreements separately from those of the other Funds.
This description is not intended to include all of the factors considered by the Board. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services
With respect to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of, and the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management and NBEL who perform services for the Funds. The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance services. The Board also considered Management's and NBEL's policies and practices regarding trade execution, transaction costs, and allocation of portfolio transactions and reviewed the quality of the execution services that Management had provided. Moreover, the Board considered Management's approach to potential conflicts of interest both generally and between the Funds' investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by Management or NBEL. The Board also noted that Management had increased its research capabilities with respect to environmental, social, and corporate governance matters and how those factors may relate to investment performance.
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 the Fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions, as well as compliance with applicable law, including implementing rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board considered that Management assumes significant ongoing risks with respect to all Funds, for which it is entitled to reasonable compensation. Specifically, Management's responsibilities include continual management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory, and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and the Board considers on a regular basis information regarding Management's processes for monitoring and managing risk. In addition, the Board also noted that when Management launches a new fund or share class, it assumes entrepreneurial risk with respect to that fund or share class, and that some funds and share classes have been liquidated without ever having been profitable to Management.
The Board 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, compliance programs, and business continuity programs, among other matters. The Board also considered Management's ongoing development of its own infrastructure and information technology to support the Funds through, among other things, cybersecurity, business continuity planning, and risk management. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management and NBEL, as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to either firm. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio managers' compensation and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds. The Board also considered the ability of Management and NBEL to attract and retain qualified personnel to service the Funds.
306
As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it. In addition, the Board considered actions taken by Management and NBEL in response to 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 broader universe of funds pursuing generally similar strategies with the same investment classification and/or objective. The Board considered each Fund's performance and fees in light of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing such comparative groups and determining which investment companies should be included in the comparative groups.
With respect to investment performance, the Board considered information regarding each Fund's short-, intermediate- and long-term performance, as applicable, net of the Fund's fees and expenses, on an absolute basis, relative to a benchmark index that does not deduct the fees or expenses of investing, and compared to the performance of the industry peer group and a broader universe of funds, each constructed by the consulting firm. The Board also reviewed performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers.
In the case of underperformance for any periods, the Board considered the magnitude and duration of that underperformance relative to the broader universe and/or the benchmark (e.g., the amount by which a Fund underperformed, including, for example, whether the Fund slightly underperformed or significantly underperformed its benchmark). For those Funds that the Board identified as having underperformed their benchmark indices, industry peer groups, and/or a broader universe of funds to an extent, or over a period of time, that the Board felt warranted additional inquiry, the Board discussed with Management each such Fund's performance, potential reasons for the relative performance, and, if necessary, steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance. The Board also met with the portfolio managers of certain Funds during the 12 months prior to voting on the contract renewal to discuss the Funds' performance. The Board also considered Management's responsiveness with respect to the relative performance. 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 relative performance.
Fee Rates, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreements as compared to the peer group provided by the consulting firm. The Board reviewed a comparison of each Fund's management fee 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. However, the Board noted that some funds in the peer group pay directly from fund assets for certain services that Management covers out of the administration fees for the Funds. Accordingly, the Board also considered each Fund's total expense ratio as compared with its peer group as a way of taking account of these differences.
The Board compared each Fund's contractual and actual management fees to the median of the contractual and actual management fees, respectively, of that Fund's peer group. (The actual management fees are the contractual management fees reduced by any fee waivers or other adjustments.) The Board also compared each Fund's total expenses to the median of the total expenses of that Fund's peer group. Where a Fund's management fee or total expenses were higher than the peer group median, the Board considered whether specific portfolio management, administration or oversight needs contributed to the Fund's management fee or total expenses. The Board also noted that for some classes of certain Funds, the overall expense ratio is maintained through a contractual or voluntary fee cap and/or expense reimbursements by Management.
307
In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates, including NBEL, by virtue of their relationship with each Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to that Fund, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management's estimated profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses, including year-over-year changes in each of Management's reported expense categories. (The Board also reviewed data on Management's estimated profit or loss on each Fund after distribution expenses and taxes were factored in, as indicators of the health of the business and the extent to which Management is directing its profits into the growth of the business.) The Board considered the cost allocation methodology that Management used in developing its estimated profitability figures. In recent years, the Board engaged an independent forensic accountant to review the profitability methodology utilized by Management when preparing this information and discussed with the consultant its conclusion that Management's process for calculating and reporting its estimated profit or loss 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, in recent years, requested from Management examples of profitability calculated by different methods and noted that the estimated profitability levels were still reasonable when calculated by these other methods. The Board further noted Management's representation that its estimate of profitability is derived using methodology that is consistent with the methodology used to assess and/or report measures of profitability elsewhere at the firm. In addition, the Board recognized that Management's calculations regarding its costs may not reflect all risks, including regulatory, legal, operational, reputational, and, where appropriate, entrepreneurial risks, associated with offering and managing a mutual fund in the current regulatory and market environment. The Board also considered any fall-out (i.e., indirect) benefits likely to accrue to Management or its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. The Board recognized that Management and its affiliates should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services they provide to each Fund and, based on its review, concluded that Management's reported level of estimated profitability, if any, on each Fund was reasonable.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board also considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with investment objectives, policies, and strategies that were similar to those of any of the Funds. In the cases where such funds or separate accounts exist, the Board compared the fees charged to the 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, the size of any breakpoints in each Fund's advisory fees, and whether any such breakpoints are set at appropriate asset levels. The Board also compared the breakpoint structure to that of the peer group. In addition, the Board considered the expense limitation and/or fee waiver arrangements that reduce many Funds' expenses at all asset levels which can have an effect similar to breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if a Fund's assets decline. In addition, for Funds that do not have breakpoints, the Board considered that setting competitive fee rates and pricing a Fund to scale before it has actually experienced an increase in assets are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered
308
that Management has provided, at no added cost to the Funds, certain additional services, including but not limited to, services required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, services impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape, and/or services requested by the Board. The Board considered that this is a way of sharing economies of scale with the Funds and their shareholders.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
With regard to the investment performance of each Fund and the fees charged to each Fund, the Board considered the following information. The broader universes of funds referenced in this section are those identified by the consulting firm, as discussed above, and the risk/return ratios referenced are the Sharpe ratios provided by the consulting firm. With respect to performance quintile rankings for a Fund compared to its broader universe ("Performance Universe"), the first quintile represents the highest (best) performance and the fifth quintile represents the lowest performance. With respect to the quintile rankings for fees and total expenses (net of waivers or other adjustments, if any) for a Fund compared to its peer group ("Expense Group"), the first quintile represents the lowest fees and/or total expenses and the fifth quintile represents the highest fees and/or total expenses. Where a Fund has more than one class of shares outstanding, information for Institutional Class has been provided as identified below. The Board reviewed the expense structures of all the other classes of shares of the Funds, some of which have higher fees and expenses that reflect their separate distribution and servicing arrangements and the differing needs of different investors. As a proxy for the class expense structure, the Board reviewed the expenses of each class for one Fund in the Trust in comparison to Expense Groups for those classes. The Board noted the effect of higher expenses on the performance of the other classes of shares.
• Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods and higher for the 10-year period; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile for the 1- and 3-year periods, the third quintile for the 5-year period, and the second quintile for the 10-year period. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee, the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management, and total expenses each ranked in the third quintile. The Board took into account that the Fund showed a risk/return ratio that was better than the median of its Performance Universe for the 5-year period, meaning that per unit of risk taken versus a presumed risk-free investment, the Fund achieved a higher level of return than the median of its Performance Universe for that period. The Board also met with a member of the portfolio management team in December 2018 to discuss the Fund's performance. The Board also noted the Fund's outperformance versus its benchmark during the 7-month period ending July 31, 2019.
• Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1-year period and lower for the 3- and 5-year periods; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile for the 1- and 5-year periods and the second quintile for the 3-year period. The Fund was launched in 2013 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee and total expenses each ranked in the third quintile and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management ranked in the first quintile.
• Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile for the 1- and 3-year periods and the third quintile for the 5-year period. The Fund was launched in 2009 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee and total expenses each ranked in the third quintile and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management ranked in the second quintile. In addition, the Board met with a member of the portfolio management team in June 2019 to discuss the Fund's
309
performance. The Board also noted the Fund's second quintile ranking against its Morningstar peer category for the 7-month period ending July 31, 2019.
• Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the second quintile for the 1-year period and the third quintile for the 3- and 5-year periods. The Fund's Institutional Class was launched in 2009 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee each ranked in the fifth quintile and total expenses ranked in the third quintile. In determining to renew the Agreement, the Board took into account Management's representations regarding the effect that the composition of the Fund's Performance Universe had on the Fund's performance relative to its peers due to, among other matters, the Fund's positioning in the higher quality portion of the high income bond market, which positioning also affected its performance versus its benchmark. In addition, the Board met with the Fund's portfolio managers in June 2019 to discuss the Fund's performance and positioning in the market. The Board also noted that Management added a new portfolio manager to the Fund in May 2019. The Board also considered Management's representations regarding the relatively small spread between the Fund's contractual management fee and the median of its Expense Group and the competitiveness of its relative total expenses.
• Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1-year period and lower for the 3-year period; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the second quintile for the 1- and 3-year periods. The Fund was launched in 2015 and therefore does not have 5- or 10-year performance. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee ranked in the second quintile and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management and total expenses each ranked in the first quintile. The Board also took into account that Management reduced the Fund's expense limitations for each share class in 2019.
• Neuberger Berman Municipal Impact Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board took into account that the Fund adopted a new investment strategy and benchmark on June 16, 2018, and that the management fee was substantially reduced at that time; accordingly, the fee and performance information for earlier periods does not reflect the current strategy or fee arrangement and therefore the utility of such comparisons is limited until the Fund's new investment strategy has a longer track record. The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the second quintile for the 1-year period, the fourth quintile for the 3-year period, and the fifth quintile for the 5-year period. The Board noted that the performance comparison data for the periods prior to the date of the investment strategy change includes the performance of the Fund's prior investment strategy. NBIA assumed the management of the Fund in 2013; therefore, the Fund does not have does not have 10-year performance under NBIA's management. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee ranked in the first quintile, the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management ranked in the second quintile, and total expenses ranked in the fifth quintile. The Board further noted that the Total Expense Ratio reflected organizational expenses and/or proxy-related expenses associated with the Fund's change in investment strategy, which are non-recurring expense.
• Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1- year period and higher for the 3- and 5-year period; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the second quintile for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee ranked in
310
the first quintile and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management and total expenses each ranked in the second quintile.
• Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the second quintile for the 1-year period, the fifth quintile for the 3-year period, and the fourth quintile for the 5-year period. The Fund's Institutional Class was launched in 2010 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee and total expenses each ranked in the second quintile and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management ranked in the first quintile.
• Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the first quintile for the 1-year period, the fifth quintile for the 3-year period, and the fourth quintile for the 5-year period. The Fund was launched in 2012 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee and total expenses each ranked in the third quintile and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management ranked in the first quintile. In determining to renew the Agreement, the Board took into account Management's representations regarding the effect that the composition of the Fund's Performance Universe had on the Fund's performance relative to its peers due to, among other matters, the Fund's positioning in the higher quality portion of the high income bond market, which positioning also affected its performance versus its benchmark. In addition, The Board also met with a member of the portfolio management team in June 2019 to discuss the Fund's performance. The Board also took into account that the Fund showed a risk/return ratio that was better than the median of its Performance Universe for the 3-year period, meaning that per unit of risk taken versus a presumed risk-free investment, the Fund achieved a higher level of return than the median of its Performance Universe for that period.
• Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period and higher for the 3-year period; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the third quintile for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods and the fourth quintile for the 10-year period. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee, the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management, and total expenses each ranked in the second quintile.
• Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period and higher for the 3-year period; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile for the 1-year period and the fifth quintile for the 3-year period. The Fund was launched in 2014 and therefore does not have 5- or 10-year performance. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee ranked in the third quintile, the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management ranked in the first quintile, and total expenses ranked in the second quintile. In addition, the Board met with a member of the portfolio management team in December 2018 to discuss the Fund's performance.
Conclusions
In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable to each Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and NBEL could be expected to continue to provide a high level of service to each Fund; that the performance of each Fund
311
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.
