Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this semi-annual shareholder report for the Neuberger Berman Income Funds covering the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period).
Following the severe downturn triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. economy has rebounded and triggered hopes for a sustained recovery. News of several highly effective vaccines buoyed investor sentiment in late 2020. This, coupled with the resolution of the November elections, further boosted optimism for the economy. Many data points, including gross domestic product, unemployment and manufacturing have shown significant improvement since the economy's trough in the second quarter of 2020.
U.S. fiscal and monetary policy remained highly accommodative over the reporting period. In terms of fiscal stimulus, the U.S. government passed a $900 billion package in late 2020, followed by a $1.9 trillion package in the first quarter of 2021. Toward the end of the reporting period, President Biden delivered an address to a joint session of Congress where he laid out his vision for future legislation, including a sweeping infrastructure plan and an "American Families Plan" aimed at improving education and family-related benefits. As it relates to monetary policy, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board maintained the federal funds rate in a range between 0.00% and 0.25% and continued its quantitative easing program. Further, the Federal Open Market Committee continued to assess inflation against its newly implemented average inflation targeting framework, affording greater leniency for periods of higher inflation.
Turning to the bond market, short-term Treasury yields were essentially pinned over the period given the aforementioned accommodative monetary policy, whereas longer-term rates rose on optimism over fiscal stimulus and the pace of economic recovery. Meanwhile, credit spreads, which widened sharply at the onset of the pandemic, steadily tightened over the reporting period. Against this backdrop, the overall investment-grade taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, delivered a negative total return for the reporting period.
Looking ahead, we believe the fixed income market environment is evolving—a trend we anticipate to continue in the coming years. In particular, we anticipate continued monetary and fiscal accommodation; which in turn, we believe should lead to higher growth-rates over the near term. Should our base case scenario play out, fixed income investors may encounter higher real yields and increased inflation and should consider to plan accordingly. Finally, it's worth highlighting the risk of increasing global divergences. We believe Europe and certain emerging market countries may lag in the coming global recovery, particularly versus the U.S. and China. We believe this may result in a more disjointed yield environment globally than has been typical over the past few years and create opportunities for global investors.
Neuberger Berman continues to monitor the ongoing developments related to COVID-19 with a particular focus on two areas: the safety and health of its employees and clients, and the ability to continue to conduct effectively its investment and business operations, including all critical services. Neuberger Berman has a dedicated Business Continuity Management team staffed with full-time professionals, who partner with over 60 Business Continuity Coordinators covering all business functions across all geographies. Neuberger Berman currently has not experienced a significant impact on its operating model and will continue to monitor the potential long-term implications for global economies. Neuberger Berman will remain flexible and look to adapt, as necessary, the firm's operations and processes to most effectively manage portfolios.
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

Core Bond Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund Institutional Class delivered a 0.27% total return for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period) and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Index), which saw a -1.52% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
U.S. rates moved higher and the yield curve steepened over the reporting period, particularly during the first quarter of 2021. Accommodative monetary policy kept short-term yields largely pinned, while longer-term rates rose on optimism over fiscal support and a faster-than-anticipated economic recovery. U.S. credit spreads continued to tighten over the reporting period, supported by improving corporate fundamentals, encouraging earnings, positive vaccine progress and fiscal stimulus. Against this improving economic backdrop, monetary and fiscal authorities continued to underscore the importance of remaining accommodative to aid a full and expeditious recovery.
Security selection within U.S. investment-grade credit was the main driver of the Fund's relative outperformance over the reporting period, as credit spreads continued to tighten off their COVID-19 crisis wide levels. Exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and diversified exposures across securitized sectors, namely credit-risk transfer securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, were other notable contributors over the reporting period. Active duration positioning further aided relative outperformance. Security selection within U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities modestly detracted from relative returns. However, this was more than offset by the Fund's overweight positioning to the U.S. investment-grade credit sector over the period.
The Fund's use of futures contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
There were several adjustments made to the Fund during the reporting period. After maintaining a modest duration underweight relative to the Index at the onset of the rate sell-off in the first quarter of 2021, the Fund moved toward neutral positioning to close the quarter as rates approached what we viewed to be fair value. Similarly, we reduced the Fund's exposure to TIPS as inflation expectations, as measured by the 10-year breakeven rate, approached our target level toward the end of the reporting period. In terms of investment-grade credit positioning, we continued to selectively trim exposure during the reporting period to the benefit of the Fund as spreads tightened throughout the period.
We believe the backdrop for fixed income investing is quickly changing and investors need to position for a different and more complex environment. In our view, this is not a temporary shift, but likely the beginning of a multiyear transition to a different fixed income world. In this new environment, we anticipate continued aggressive monetary accommodation, coordinated with aggressive fiscal spending across a range of key economies, to drive substantially higher growth rates over the near term. We believe that for fixed income investors, it means a transition to higher real yields as global growth improves. In our view, we also anticipate a transition to a higher realized and expected inflation environment as we believe that demand-side and supply-side factors are pointing toward higher inflation. But perhaps the most significant recent change is credible central bank shifts toward conducting policy explicitly to achieve this outcome. In our view, investors should consider positioning not just for an upward trajectory in inflation, but sustained inflation at modestly higher levels.
Sincerely,
THANOS BARDAS, DAVID M. BROWN, NATHAN KUSH AND BRAD TANK

Emerging Markets Debt Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund Institutional Class generated a 4.99% total return for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period) and outperformed 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 3.85% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The reporting period started off very strong for emerging markets (EM) debt, as the asset class rallied amidst positive vaccine news and strong commodity prices in the last quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, some of those gains were reversed as a sharp move higher in U.S. Treasury yields led to negative spillover effects on EM debt and currencies. As U.S. rates stabilized in April and the global economic recovery continued to gather pace, the asset class ended the reporting period on a strong footing, rebounding in April. The hard currency sovereign debt index delivered a 3.26% total return, the corporate debt index delivered 3.70%, and the local currency index returned 4.17%.
The Fund outperformed the Index driven by bottom-up positioning while tactical asset allocation was slightly negative. Bottom-up relative performance was positive across hard currency, local currency and corporates. In hard currency, outperformance was driven by overweights across a number of high yield countries including Angola, Costa Rica, Ukraine, Sri Lanka, Azerbaijan and Ivory Coast. Meanwhile, the overweight in Romania and underweight in Turkey versus the Index detracted. The local currency part of the portfolio outperformed mainly due to local rates positioning, driven by duration underweights in Turkey, Poland and Peru, as well as an overweight in South Africa and instrument selection in Mexico and Brazil. Positioning across EM currencies was positive as well, driven by overweights in the Russian ruble and Chilean peso versus the Index while the overweight in the Brazilian real and underweight in the South African rand detracted. In the corporate space, the outperformance was driven mainly by security selection in Brazil and India, while the overweight and security selection in China detracted.
The contribution from tactical allocation was slightly negative over the reporting period, driven by the underweight corporates versus sovereigns and by the underweight spread duration. This was partly offset by a positive contribution from an underweight U.S. Treasury duration in an environment of rising yields.
Over the reporting period there were a number of changes across the Fund. In terms of tactical asset allocation, we closed our underweight in corporates versus sovereigns given the more positive outlook on the former in a rising rates environment, due to its lower duration, as well as the improving corporate fundamentals and our low default expectations. Within hard currency, we added exposure to Peru, reducing our underweight, following the spread widening on the back of the political uncertainty around the elections in April. We also added exposure to select frontier countries including Ghana, Ivory Coast and Senegal. We reduced exposure to Colombia on downgrade risk to below investment grade, switching exposure to Panama. We also reduced exposure to Russia early in the reporting period as yields had tightened and sanction risks remained a concern. In corporate positioning, we added exposure to investment grade issuers in the UAE, to banks and mining companies in Peru and to the gaming sector in Macau, which we believe is set to benefit from reopening of economies and travel in Asia. In the below investment-grade space, we added exposure to corporates in Ukraine and Nigeria mainly. Meanwhile we reduced exposure in China, across select real estate companies and as we exited from companies targeted by sanctions which were announced by the United States in November 2020. On the local currency side, we added to EM foreign currency risk on the back of our more constructive outlook for emerging currencies. In particular, we added to Asian currencies which in our view should benefit from the improved backdrop for global trade such as the Korean won and Taiwan dollar, as well as to select commodity sensitive currencies. Meanwhile, we went from overweight to underweight local rates duration, reducing exposure to lower-yielding markets with increased downside risks from the reflationary environment such as Poland and South Korea, whilst maintaining select overweights in higher-yielding markets with very steep curves.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency and swap contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
4
Global growth expectations remain upbeat for 2021, and we believe EM are likely to benefit from the ongoing cyclical recovery underway, as reflected in both manufacturing data and commodity prices. We anticipate data to improve from here thanks to ongoing fiscal support and vaccine developments. Against this backdrop, we remain constructive on the prospects for the asset class and on the medium-term outlook for EM currencies, as it is our belief that they should benefit in our central scenario of EM growth recovery, with improving terms of trade supporting commodity currencies in particular. Meanwhile we have become more selective in local rates, considering the more reflationary backdrop and spillovers from rising developed markets interest rates. We favor duration exposure in countries where we believe significant rate hikes have already been priced in or which are experiencing a shallower recovery, while maintaining underweights in a number of low yielders.
We believe an overshoot of U.S. interest rates is a potential tail risk for the asset class, though our base case is for a more gradual rise in rates in the coming quarters which in our view is unlikely to prove overly disruptive for funding conditions and spread returns in EM. In the corporate space, we expect earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for EM corporates to rebound and company leverage metrics to improve. In our view, EM high yield corporate defaults are likely to remain contained going forward and we anticipate a default rate of 2.9% for 2021 which is in line with the 10-year average for the asset class. We see valuations for local currencies and rates as attractive, while for EM hard currency sovereign and corporate bonds spreads we see spreads within the fair value range in aggregate but still attractive relative to the developed markets.

Floating Rate Income Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 5.73% total return for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period) and underperformed its benchmark, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the Index), which provided a 5.99% 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, generated a positive return and outperformed longer-duration, lower-yielding fixed income sectors during the reporting period, as U.S. Treasury yields moved higher. This was primarily driven by the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, improving economic data and an uptick in inflation expectations. Despite this improving economic backdrop, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board continued to indicate that it planned to maintain highly accommodative monetary policy. Credit spreads, which substantially widened at the onset of the pandemic, tightened over the reporting period. Dispersion in returns across credit quality and between distressed and non-distressed was also a feature of the bank loan market over the reporting period. While we did shift the positioning to reflect the new credit cycle and declining default trends, most of the distressed and lower quality issuers do not meet our disciplined credit underwriting standards.
The Fund tactically adjusted its position in non-floating rate securities during the period. We have the flexibility to allocate up to 20% of the portfolio to these securities, and usually utilize fixed-rate senior bonds. Relative value between floating rate loans and fixed-rate bonds fluctuated during the period given the decline in volatility and increased focus on duration risk. Against this backdrop, the Fund's non-floating rate allocation ended the reporting period at approximately 3.4% of net assets compared to 7.5% of net assets at the beginning of the reporting period.
In terms of the Fund's credit quality, security selection within non-rated, security selection within and an underweight to issuers rated BB versus the Index, and an underweight to and security selection within issuers rated BBB and above added the most to relative returns. Conversely, security selection within issuers rated CCC and below and BBB and above detracted from results.
The Fund's use of swap contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
From a sector perspective, security selection within broadcast radio & TV, an overweight to and security selection within oil & gas, and security selection within financial intermediaries (collateralized loan obligations) were the primary contributors to returns. In contrast, security selection within business equipment & services, security selection within and an underweight to leisure and security selection within and an overweight to telecommunications were the largest detractors from performance.
We believe yields on senior floating rate loans offer attractive valuations, durable income and are more than compensating investors for what we see as a benign default outlook. The economic recovery is now confirmed by recent data and we anticipate it to be on an improving trajectory which continues to be supportive of issuer fundamentals. In our view, continued progress on vaccinations, combined with significant consumer pent-up demand for travel, leisure and services, businesses rebuilding inventories, rehiring plus accommodative monetary and fiscal policy, should continue to support economic activity going forward. While any interruptions in COVID-19 vaccine delivery or an increase in cases could result in pockets of short-term volatility, we believe our bottom-up, fundamental credit research focused on individual credit selection while seeking to avoid defaults and credit deterioration and putting only our "best ideas" into portfolios, position us well to take advantage of any volatility.

High Income Bond Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 7.85% total return for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period) and underperformed its benchmark, the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Constrained Index (the Index), which provided an 8.13% 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 a positive return and outperformed the overall investment-grade fixed income market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, during the reporting period, as U.S. Treasury yields moved higher. This was primarily driven by the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, improving economic data and an uptick in inflation expectations. Despite this improving economic backdrop, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board continued to indicate that it planned to maintain a highly accommodative monetary policy. Credit spreads, which substantially widened at the onset of the pandemic, tightened over the reporting period. Dispersion in returns across credit quality and between distressed and non-distressed was also a feature of the high yield market over the period. While we did shift the positioning to reflect the new credit cycle and declining default trends, many of the distressed issuers do not meet our disciplined credit underwriting standards.
From a sector perspective, security selection within and an underweight to health care versus the Index, security selection within and an overweight to gas distribution, and security selection within diversified financial services were the top contributors to performance. In contrast, security selection within and an underweight to energy, security selection within aerospace & defense, and security selection within theaters & entertainment detracted the most from results.
In terms of the Fund's credit quality, security selection within BB, an overweight to CCC and below versus the Index, security selection within B, and an overweight to non-rated issuers contributed the most to performance. Conversely, security selection within CCC and below, security selection within non-rated, and an overweight to issuers rated B were the primary detractors.
The Fund's use of swap contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
As it became increasingly clear that there would be a successful vaccination plan and expectations for growth improved, we selectively increased the Fund's exposure to securities rated CCC and below and B. As credit spreads narrowed, especially in the higher quality segments, in part on expectations for some issuers to be upgraded, we also decreased the Fund's exposure to securities rated BB on relative valuation considerations.
High yield spreads tightened over the reporting period and we believe valuations are more than compensating investors for what we see as a benign default outlook. The economic recovery is now confirmed by recent data and we anticipate it to be on an improving trajectory, which continues to be supportive of issuer fundamentals. In our view, continued progress on vaccinations, combined with significant consumer pent-up demand for travel, leisure and services, businesses rebuilding inventories, rehiring plus accommodative monetary and fiscal policy, should continue to support economic activity going forward. While any interruptions in COVID-19 vaccine delivery or an increase in cases could result in pockets of short-term volatility, we believe our bottom-up, fundamental credit research focused on individual credit selection while seeking to avoid defaults and credit deterioration and putting only our "best ideas" into portfolios, position us well to take advantage of any volatility.

Municipal High Income Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 6.60% total return for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period) and outperformed its benchmark, a blend consisting of 65% Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and 35% Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Index (collectively, the Index), which provided a 4.51% 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 positive total return and outperformed the investment-grade taxable bond market during the reporting period. All told, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 2.62% for the reporting period, whereas the overall investment-grade taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -1.52%. U.S. Treasury yields moved higher across the curve during the reporting period. Short-term yields were fairly well anchored, as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) maintained the federal funds rate in a range between 0.00% and 0.25%. In contrast, longer-term yields rose sharply. This was primarily driven by the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, improving economic data and an uptick in inflation. Despite this improving economic backdrop, the Fed continued to say it planned to maintain its highly accommodative monetary policy.
In terms of the Fund's performance, its credit quality biases contributed to results. This was driven by an overweight to municipal bonds rated BBB and below versus the Index. These bonds outperformed higher rated bonds given aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus and strong investor demand. An overweight to revenue bonds was positive for returns, as they generally outperformed their general obligation bond counterparts. Security selection in the tobacco sector was also rewarded. An allocation to Illinois and Chicago general obligation bonds was beneficial, as they were purchased at very attractive valuations and they rallied over the reporting period. Elsewhere, yield curve positioning did not meaningfully impact performance. On the downside, exposure to some below investment-grade securities were a headwind for results, as their projects were behind schedule due to issues related to the pandemic. Elsewhere, the Fund's allocation to higher quality bonds rated AAA were a drag on performance.
A number of changes were made to the Fund during the reporting period. We reduced the duration heading into 2021, as we anticipated an upturn in rates, which came to pass. We also pared the Fund's exposures to bonds rated A and BBB, while increasing its allocations to securities rated BB and other below investment-grade securities.
For the past dozen years since the 2008 financial crisis, the overall environment for fixed income investors has been largely unchanged. Global growth has been sluggish across bond markets and central banks have unleashed a range of programs aimed at supporting growth and financial assets. Fixed income investors have been persistently rewarded for positioning for low nominal yields, low real yields and a low-inflation (or even disinflationary) environment. We believe this backdrop may be quickly changing, and we think investors need to position for a different and more complex environment. In our view, this is not a temporary shift, but likely the beginning of a multiyear transition to a different fixed income world. We feel that the changes will be particularly acute for the municipal market. With over 60,000 individual state and local government issuers, we believe opportunities may abound, but so are various levels of financial, legislative, market and political risk. In a market characterized by frequent volatility, we believe that our long established investment process will be well equipped to handle the challenges ahead.

Municipal Impact Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Municipal Impact Fund Institutional Class generated a 1.48% total return for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period). Over the same period the Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the Index), returned 2.62%. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The investment-grade municipal bond market generated a positive total return and outperformed the investment-grade taxable bond market during the reporting period. All told, the Index gained 2.62% for the reporting period, whereas the overall investment-grade taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -1.52%. U.S. Treasury yields moved higher across the curve during the reporting period. Short-term yields were fairly well anchored, as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) maintained the federal funds rate in a range between 0.00% and 0.25%. In contrast, longer-term yields rose sharply. This was primarily driven by the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, improving economic data and an uptick in inflation. Despite this improving economic backdrop, the Fed continued to say it planned to maintain its highly accommodative monetary policy.
In terms of the Fund's performance, credit quality detracted from results. This was partially driven by an overweight to higher rated securities versus the Index. They lagged lower rated bonds given aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus, along with strong investor demand for lower rated, higher-yielding securities. Yield curve and duration positioning were not impactful to relative performance. However, underweighting large credits rated BBB, such as Illinois general obligation bonds produced a headwind. On the upside, an overweight to revenue bonds was beneficial for returns, as they generally outperformed their general obligation bond counterparts. Security selection of single family housing bonds was also positive, as were small positions in securities rated B and certain non-rated bonds.
The Fund increased its exposure to what we believed were projects that were impactful for their communities. We also continued to focus on sustainable issuers with what we view as having best-in-class operations, with managements that make sound financial decisions. This positioning was a drag on results, as these attributes were not rewarded by investors as they sought to generate incremental yields offered by lower rated securities.
For the past dozen years since the 2008 financial crisis, the overall environment for fixed income investors has been largely unchanged. Global growth has been sluggish across bond markets and central banks have unleashed a range of programs aimed at supporting growth and financial assets. Fixed income investors have been persistently rewarded for positioning for low nominal yields, low real yields and a low-inflation (or even disinflationary) environment.

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 ("NBIA") 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 NBIA) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
For the period ended April 30, 2021, the 30-day SEC yields were 0.65%, 0.28% and -0.46% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The tax-equivalent yields were 1.10%, 0.47% and -0.78% 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 0.23%, -0.20% and -0.60% 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 ratios for fiscal year 2020 were 0.93%, 1.12%, and 2.01% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.43%, 0.80% and 1.55% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the semi-annual period ended April 30, 2021, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.
Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1.00%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 2.97% total return for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period) and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year General Obligation (G.O.) Index (the Index), which provided a 1.48% 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 positive total return and outperformed the investment-grade taxable bond market during the reporting period. All told, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 2.62% for the reporting period, whereas the overall investment-grade taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -1.52%. U.S. Treasury yields moved higher across the curve during the reporting period. Short-term yields were fairly well anchored, as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) maintained the federal funds rate in a range between 0.00% and 0.25%. In contrast, longer-term yields rose sharply. This was primarily driven by the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, improving economic data and an uptick in inflation. Despite this improving economic backdrop, the Fed continued to say it planned to maintain its highly accommodative monetary policy.
In terms of the Fund's performance, its credit quality biases contributed to results. This was driven by an overweight to non-investment-grade and lower rated bonds versus the Index. They outperformed higher rated bonds given aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus and strong investor demand. An out-of-benchmark allocation to revenue bonds was positive for returns, as they generally outperformed their G.O. bond counterparts. Security selection in the tobacco sector was also rewarded. An allocation to Illinois G.O. bonds was beneficial, as they were purchased at very attractive valuations and they rallied over the reporting period. Finally, yield curve positioning was beneficial for returns, as the Fund had a larger allocation to longer-term bonds. On the downside, the Fund's allocation to higher quality bonds rated AAA were a drag on performance.
A number of changes were made to the Fund during the reporting period. We reduced the duration heading into 2021, as we anticipated an upturn in rates, which came to pass. We also pared the Fund's exposure to bonds rated AAA, while increasing its allocations to securities rated A and BBB.
For the past dozen years since the 2008 financial crisis, the overall environment for fixed income investors has been largely unchanged. Global growth has been sluggish across bond markets and central banks have unleashed a range of programs aimed at supporting growth and financial assets. Fixed income investors have been persistently rewarded for positioning for low nominal yields, low real yields and a low-inflation (or even disinflationary) environment. We believe this backdrop may be quickly changing, and we think investors need to position for a different and more complex environment. In our view, this is not a temporary shift, but likely the beginning of a multiyear transition to a different fixed income world. We feel that the changes will be particularly acute for the municipal market. With over 60,000 individual state and local government issuers, we believe opportunities may abound, but so are various levels of financial, legislative, market and political risk. In a market characterized by frequent volatility, we believe that our long established investment process will be well equipped to handle the challenges ahead.

JAMES L. ISELIN AND S. BLAKE MILLER

Short Duration Bond Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 2.99% total return for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period) and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index (the Index), which provided a 0.23% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
U.S. rates moved higher and the yield curve steepened over the reporting period, particularly during the first quarter of 2021. Accommodative monetary policy kept short-term yields largely pinned, while longer-term rates rose on optimism over fiscal support and a faster-than-anticipated economic recovery. U.S. credit spreads continued to tighten over the reporting period, supported by improving fundamentals, encouraging earnings, positive vaccine progress and fiscal stimulus. Against this improving economic backdrop, monetary and fiscal authorities continued to underscore the importance of remaining accommodative to aid a full and expeditious recovery.
The largest contributor to the Fund's performance during the reporting period was its overweight exposure to corporate bonds versus the Index. Their spreads versus Treasuries significantly narrowed during the reporting period as investor demand for incremental yield was robust overall. Also supporting the sector was aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus, signs of improving growth and corporate earnings that often exceeded expectations. Elsewhere, an out-of-benchmark allocation to structured products, including agency pass-through securities, mortgage credit, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities contributed to returns. Finally, an allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities was rewarded. On the downside, yield curve positioning was a headwind for results, as the Fund had exposure to certain parts of the curve that underperformed.
The Fund's use of futures contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
We maintained the Fund's overall positioning over the reporting period, with an overweight to non-Treasury securities and underweights to Treasuries, agency debt and non-corporate securities. We had increased the Fund's allocation to agency pass-through securities last spring, given, in our view, their attractive valuations at the time. We largely eliminated this position during the first quarter of 2021, as they performed well and reached our estimate of fair value. The proceeds from these sales were primarily allocated to corporate bonds, both in the primary and secondary markets, where we found a number of compelling opportunities.
We believe the backdrop for fixed income investing is quickly changing and investors need to position for a different and more complex environment. In our view, this is not a temporary shift, but likely the beginning of a multiyear transition to a different fixed income world. In this new environment, we anticipate continued aggressive monetary accommodation, coordinated with aggressive fiscal spending across a range of key economies, to drive substantially higher growth rates over the near term. We believe that for fixed income investors, it means a transition to higher real yields as global growth improves. In our view, we also anticipate a transition to a higher realized and expected inflation environment as we believe that demand-side and supply-side factors are pointing toward higher inflation. But perhaps the most significant recent change is credible central bank shifts toward conducting policy explicitly to achieve this outcome. In our view, investors should consider positioning not just for an upward trajectory in inflation, but sustained inflation at modestly higher levels.

THOMAS SONTAG, MICHAEL FOSTER, MATTHEW MCGINNIS AND WOOLF NORMAN MILNER

Strategic Income Fund Commentary
Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund Institutional Class delivered a 6.66% total return for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 (the reporting period), outperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Index), which provided a -1.52% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
U.S. rates moved higher and the yield curve steepened over the reporting period, particularly during the first quarter of 2021. Accommodative monetary policy kept short-term yields largely pinned, while longer-term rates rose on optimism over fiscal support and a faster-than-anticipated economic recovery. U.S. credit spreads continued to tighten over the reporting period, supported by improving fundamentals, encouraging earnings, positive vaccine progress and fiscal stimulus. Against this improving economic backdrop, monetary and fiscal authorities continued to underscore the importance of remaining accommodative to aid a full and expeditious recovery.
Exposure to high yield credit and security selection within investment-grade credit were key contributors to the Fund's relative outperformance over the reporting period. Both investment-grade and high yield spreads tightened against a rapidly improving economic backdrop. Our active duration positioning was also meaningfully additive, as the Fund's duration underweight benefited from the first quarter sell-off. Elsewhere, exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) was additive to results as inflation expectations steadily rose over the reporting period, while exposure to bank loans was beneficial given a favorable rates/inflation environment. The Fund's underweight to investment-grade credit and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) versus the Index were modest detractors over the period. However, the negative impact was more than offset by security selection within both sectors.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, swaps, forward foreign currency and bond forward contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
There were several adjustments made to the Fund during the reporting period. We selectively rotated exposure away from investment-grade credit toward non-investment-grade credit given, in our view, improving fundamentals and attractive relative value in terms of yield potential and duration profile. Similarly, we reduced exposure to MBS at the beginning of 2021, rotating into what we believed to be more attractive sectors on a relative-value basis; namely non-investment-grade credit and TIPS. Toward the end of the reporting period, we reduced the Fund's exposure to TIPS as inflation expectations, as measured by the 10-year breakeven rate, approached our target level.
We believe the backdrop for fixed income investing is quickly changing and investors need to position for a different and more complex environment. In our view, this is not a temporary shift, but likely the beginning of a multiyear transition to a different fixed income world. In this new environment, we anticipate continued aggressive monetary accommodation, coordinated with aggressive fiscal spending across a range of key economies, to drive substantially higher growth rates over the near term.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For current performance data, including current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.
The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA") 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 NBIA) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
For the period ended April 30, 2021, the 30-day SEC yields were 3.34%, 3.70%, 3.30%, 2.60% and 3.80% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 3.31%, 3.69%, 2.57% and 3.79% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. Absent repayment, the 30-day SEC yield would have been 3.32% for Class A shares.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2020 were 1.02%, 0.61%, 1.00%, 1.74% and 0.52% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.95%, 0.60%, 1.00%, 1.70% and 0.50% for Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The total annual operating expense ratio for Class A includes the class's repayment of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived under the contractual expense limitation by NBIA. The expense ratios for the semi-annual period ended April 30, 2021, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.
Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1.00%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses (Unaudited)
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (if applicable), and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in U.S. dollars) of investing in a Fund and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This table is designed to provide information regarding costs related to your investments. The following examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended April 30, 2021 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.

(a) Index-linked bond whose principal amount adjusts according to a government retail price index.
(b) Variable or floating rate security where the stated interest rate is not based on a published reference rate and spread. Rather, the interest rate adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of April 30, 2021.
(c) Securities were purchased under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or are otherwise restricted and, unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or exempted from registration, may only be sold to qualified institutional investors or may have other restrictions on resale. At April 30, 2021, these securities amounted to $67,849,572, which represents 11.8% of net assets of the Fund.
(d) Variable or floating rate security. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of April 30, 2021 and changes periodically.
(e) Interest only security. These securities represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgages. Payments of principal on the pool reduce the value of the "interest only" holding.

(i) TBA (To Be Announced) Securities are purchased/sold on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and no defined maturity date. The actual principal amount and maturity date will be determined upon settlement when the specific mortgage pools are assigned. Total value of all such securities (excluding forward sales contracts, if any) at April 30, 2021 amounted to $48,317,480, which represents 8.4% of net assets of the Fund.
(j) All or a portion of this security is segregated in connection with obligations for to be announced securities, futures, when-issued and/or delayed delivery securities with a total value of $74,478,880.
(k) Security issued at a fixed coupon rate, which converts to a variable rate at a future date. Rate shown is the rate in effect as of period end.
(l) Perpetual security. Perpetual securities have no stated maturity date, but they may be called/redeemed by the issuer. The date shown reflects the next call date.
(m) Represents 7-day effective yield as of April 30, 2021.

Notes to Financial Statements Income Funds (Unaudited)
Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
1 General: Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Instrument dated March 27, 2014. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 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") and Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund ("Strategic Income") (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. 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, nine offer Institutional Class shares, nine offer Class A shares, nine offer Class C shares, one offers Class R3 shares and three 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 series of the Trust.
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 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)
• Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including a Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
208
The value of the Funds' investments in equity securities and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), 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, conversion rates, credit specific details, relative listed bond and preferred stock prices and Other Market Information.
U.S. Treasury Obligations. Inputs used to value U.S. Treasury securities generally include quotes from several inter-dealer brokers and Other Market Information.
U.S. Government Agency Securities. Inputs used to value U.S. Government Agency securities generally include obtaining benchmark quotes and Other Market Information.
Asset-Backed Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities. Inputs used to value asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities generally include models that consider a number of factors, which may include the following: prepayment speeds, cash flows, spread adjustments and Other Market Information.
High Yield Securities. Inputs used to value high yield securities generally include a number of observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to the issuer and Other Market Information.
Municipal Debt Securities. Inputs used to value municipal debt securities include current trades, bid-wanted lists (which informs the market that a holder is interested in selling a position and that offers will be considered), offerings, general information on market movement, direction, trends, and specific data on specialty issues.
Emerging Markets Debt and Foreign Government Securities. Inputs used to value emerging markets debt and foreign government securities generally include dealer quotes, bond market activity, discounted cash flow models, and other relevant information such as credit spreads, benchmark curves and Other Market Information.
The value of forward foreign currency contracts ("forward FX contracts") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on actual traded currency rates on independent
209
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 contracts is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services at the settlement price at the market close (Level 1 inputs).
The value of bond forward contracts ("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 (Level 2 inputs).
The value of inflation swaps is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on references to the underlying inflation rates including forward inflation expectation 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 forward inflation curve and reference rate (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 total return swaps and total return basket swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using the underlying asset and stated benchmark interest 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 with a readily determinable fair value 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. Inputs and assumptions considered in determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer and/or analysts; an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements; an evaluation of the inputs that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
210
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 Services ("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 price is calculated, the Board has determined on the basis of available data that prices adjusted or 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.
In December 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, which establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act, including related oversight and reporting requirements. The rule also defines when market quotations are "readily available" for purposes of the 1940 Act, the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. The rule became effective on March 8, 2021, however, the SEC adopted an eighteen-month transition period beginning from the effective date. Management is currently evaluating this guidance.
3 Foreign currency translations: Core Bond, Emerging Markets Debt, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration and Strategic Income 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 amount of such proceeds for the six months ended April 30, 2021, was $257, $259 and $263 for High Income, Short Duration and Strategic Income.
5 Income tax information: Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company ("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.
211
The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired. As of April 30, 2021, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.
For federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in value of investments held at April 30, 2021 were as follows:
| | Cost | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | |
Core Bond | | $ | 636,645,005 | | | $ | 15,314,625 | | | $ | 10,518,392 | | | $ | 4,796,233 | | |

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, 2020, the Funds recorded permanent reclassifications primarily related to one or more of the following: gains (losses) & tax adjustments on securities redeemed in kind, prior year true up adjustments, return of capital distributions and deemed distributions on shareholder redemptions. For the year ended October 31, 2020, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:
| | Paid-in Capital | | Total Distributable Earnings/(Losses) | |
Core Bond | | $ | 1 | | | $ | (1 | ) | |
Emerging Markets Debt | | | 1,452 | | | | (1,452 | ) | |

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 forward FX contracts, amortization of bond premium, defaulted bond adjustments, amortization of organizational expenses and tax adjustments related to treasury inflation protection securities, 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
213
determined at October 31, 2020, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset future net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:
| | Capital Loss Carryforwards | |
| | Long-Term | | Short-Term | |
Emerging Markets Debt | | $ | 7,970,110 | | | $ | 4,173,236 | | |
Floating Rate Income | | | 23,303,840 | | | | 9,646,726 | | |
High Income | | | 148,365,373 | | | | 63,876,014 | | |
Municipal High Income | | | 947,538 | | | | 1,327,591 | | |
Short Duration | | | 4,457,486 | | | | 1,547,169 | | |
Strategic Income | | | 74,550,093 | | | | 589,961 | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2020, Core Bond utilized capital loss carryforwards of $2,341,288.
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 NBIA 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 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.
Each Fund may also enter into a TBA agreement and "roll over" such agreement prior to the settlement date by selling the obligation to purchase the pools set forth in the agreement and entering into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage-backed securities. TBA mortgage-backed securities may increase prepayment risks because the underlying mortgages may be less favorable than anticipated by a Fund.
9 Foreign taxes: Foreign taxes withheld, if any, represent amounts withheld by foreign tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.
Foreign capital gains on certain foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income accrue capital gains tax on unrealized and realized gains for certain securities. At April 30, 2021, Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income had accrued capital gains taxes of
214
$58,186 and $61,296 respectively, which is reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, Emerging Markets Debt and Strategic Income had realized capital gains taxes of $2,549 and $13,171, respectively, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations.
10 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.
11 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 April 30, 2021, the Funds listed below had outstanding loans of securities to certain approved brokers each with a value as follows:
| | Value of Securities Loaned | |

12 Derivative instruments: Certain Funds' use of derivatives during the six months ended April 30, 2021, is described below. Please see the Schedule of Investments for each Fund's open positions in derivatives, if any, at April 30, 2021. The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The disclosure requirements of ASC 815 distinguish between derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and those that do not. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, even though a Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a fund could enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure to establish and maintain a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. While the new rule became effective February 19, 2021, funds will not be required to fully comply with the new rule until August 19, 2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, the new rule will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. When fully implemented, the new rule may require changes in how a Fund will use derivatives, may adversely affect a Fund's performance and may increase costs related to a Fund's use of derivatives.
Futures contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2021, 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 six months ended April 30, 2021, Emerging Markets Debt and Short Duration used futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device. During the six months ended April 30, 2021, Strategic Income 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, to adjust the duration of the Fund's portfolio and to enhance total return.
Futures contracts may include certain options on exchange-traded futures contracts. 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 or expire, 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.
216
Bond forward contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2021, Strategic Income used bond forward contracts 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.
Forward foreign currency contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2021, Emerging Markets Debt used forward FX 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 six months ended April 30, 2021, Strategic Income used forward FX 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.
A forward FX 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 FX contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward FX 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 FX contract to purchase or sell currency, a Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of the forward FX contract or enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward FX contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward FX contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward FX 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 six months ended April 30, 2021, 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 six months ended April 30, 2021, Strategic Income 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
217
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 over-the-counter ("OTC") credit default swaps, cash settlement in and out of the swaps may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments/(receipts), if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) and net interest received or paid on swap contracts to determine the fair value of swaps.
Interest rate/Inflation swap contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2021, 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 six months ended April 30, 2021, Strategic Income used interest rate swaps and inflation 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. Under the terms of interest rate/inflation 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/inflation swaps, marked to market daily. There is no guarantee that these interest rate/inflation swap transactions will be successful in reducing or limiting risk.
Risks may arise if the counterparty to an interest rate/inflation 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. For OTC interest rate/inflation swaps, cash settlement in and out of the swaps may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty. 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
218
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 central 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 six months ended April 30, 2021, 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. For OTC cross currency swaps, cash settlement in and out of the swaps may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty. The reclassifications do not impact the Fund's total net assets or its total net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations.
Total return basket swap contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2021, Strategic Income used total return basket 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. A Fund may enter into a total return basket swap agreement to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and short securities. Under the terms of the agreement, the swap is designed to function as a portfolio of direct investments in long and short equity or fixed income positions. The Fund has the ability to trade in and out of long and short positions within the swap and will receive all of the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investments in these positions such as: capital appreciation/(depreciation), corporate actions, and dividends and interest received and paid, all of which are reflected in the swap value. The swap value also includes interest charges and credits related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. These interest charges and credits are based on defined market rates plus or minus a specified spread and are referred to herein as "financing costs". Positions within the swap are reset periodically, and financing costs are reset monthly. During a reset, any unrealized gains (losses) on positions and accrued financing costs become available for cash settlement between the Fund and the swap counterparty. For OTC total return basket swaps, cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty. A change in the market value of a total return basket swap contract is recognized as a change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Cash settlements between a Fund and the counterparty are recognized as realized gains (losses) on closing of swap contracts in the Statements of Operations.
Total return swap contracts: During the six months ended April 30, 2021, Floating Rate Income and High Income used total return swaps to enhance liquidity while maintaining exposure to the asset class. During the six months ended April 30, 2021, Strategic Income used total return 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
219
return. Total return swaps involve commitments to pay fixed or floating rate interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the reference security or index underlying the total return swap exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Certain risks may arise when entering into total return swap transactions, including counterparty default, liquidity or unfavorable changes in the value of the underlying reference security or index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made at the end of each measurement period are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. For OTC total return swaps, cash settlement in and out of the swaps may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty.

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 Municipal High Income, Municipal Impact and Municipal Intermediate Bond did not hold any derivative instruments during the six months ended April 30, 2021 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 OTC 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, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration and Strategic Income held one or more of these investments at April 30, 2021. The Funds' OTC derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type and securities lending assets are reported gross in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present derivative and securities lending 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 April 30, 2021.

13 Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Trust's organizational documents provide that its officers ("Officers") and trustees ("Trustees") are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust.
14 Investments in other funds managed by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC: Through April 30, 2021, Strategic Income invested in Neuberger Berman Global Monthly Income Fund Ltd. (the "Underlying Fund") via a secondary market transaction (See Note F).
For Strategic Income's investment in the Underlying Fund, NBIA waived a portion of its management fee equal to the management fee it received from the Underlying Fund on those assets (the "Arrangement"). For the six months ended April 30, 2021, management fees waived under this Arrangement are reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Investment management fees waived." For the six months ended April 30, 2021, income earned from the Underlying Fund on Strategic Income's investments is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Dividend income-affiliated issuers". For the six months ended April 30, 2021, management fees waived under this Arrangement and distributions from income and capital gains received from Strategic Income's investments in the Underlying Fund were as follows:
| | Management Fees Waived | | Distributions from Income and Capital Gains | |
Strategic Income | | $ | 118 | | | $ | 8,641 | | |
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
228
order from the SEC that permits the Funds to invest in both affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including ETFs, in excess of the limits in Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, 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 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.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 12d1-4, which permits a Fund to exceed the limits prescribed by Section 12 of the 1940 Act in the absence of an exemptive order, if the Fund complies with the adopted framework for fund of funds arrangements. Rule 12d1-4 contains elements from the SEC's current exemptive orders and rules permitting fund of funds arrangements, and includes (i) limits on control and voting; (ii) required evaluations and findings; (iii) required fund of funds investment agreements; and (iv) limits on complex structures. In connection with the new rule, on or about January 19, 2022, the SEC is expected to rescind the Funds' current exemptive order and Rule 12d1-2 under the 1940 Act. After this occurs, a Fund seeking to exceed the limits in Section 12 of the 1940 Act will need to rely on Rule 12d1-4.
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 April 30, 2021, the value of unfunded loan commitments was $2,730,807, $2,088,958 and $2,378,577 for Floating Rate Income, High Income and Strategic Income, respectively, pursuant to the following loan agreements:

(a) Position is a delayed draw term loan which may be partially or fully unfunded. In accordance with the underlying credit agreement, the interest rate shown reflects the unfunded rate as of April 30, 2021.
(b) Value determined using significant unobservable inputs.
(c) This security has not settled as of April 30, 2021 and thus may not have an interest rate in effect.
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, 2020, High Income realized a net gain of $13,575,889 on $192,035,868 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.
19 Other matters—Coronavirus: The outbreak of the novel coronavirus in many countries has, among other things, disrupted global travel and supply chains, and adversely impacted global commercial activity, the transportation industry and commodity prices in the energy sector. The impact of this virus has negatively affected and may continue to affect the economies of many nations, individual companies and the global securities and commodities markets, including liquidity and volatility. The development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to its ultimate impact, which may have a continued adverse effect on global economic and market conditions. Such conditions (which may be across industries, sectors or geographies) have impacted and may continue to impact the issuers of the securities held by the Funds.

(a) 0.50% prior to January 15, 2021.
Accordingly, for the six months ended April 30, 2021, 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 | | | 0.18 | % | |
Floating Rate Income | | | 0.44 | % | |
Municipal High Income | | | 0.40 | % | |
Municipal Impact | | | 0.25 | % | |
Short Duration | | | 0.17 | % | |
Strategic Income | | | 0.40 | %(a) | |
(a) After management fee waiver (Note A).
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
231
Short Duration; 0.40% for Trust Class of Strategic Income; 0.15% for Institutional Class; and 0.05% for Class R6, 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 April 30, 2021, 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 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 six months ended April 30, 2021, the following classes repaid NBIA under these agreements as follows:
Class | | Expenses Repaid to NBIA | |
High Income Class A | | $ | 2,203 | | |
Strategic Income Class A | | | 8,099 | | |
Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL"), as the sub-adviser to Emerging Markets Debt, is retained by NBIA to choose the Fund's investments and handle its day-to-day business for the portion of the 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', and each Fund's 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 each Fund's 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
234
initial sales charge. Class C shares of each Fund are sold with no initial sales charge and a 1.00% CDSC if shares are sold within one year after purchase.
For the six months ended April 30, 2021, the Distributor, 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 April 30, 2021, each Fund was a participant in a syndicated committed, unsecured $700,000,000 line of credit (the "Credit Facility"), to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. Series of other investment companies managed by 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; provided that should the Administrative Agent of the Credit Facility determine that the Eurodollar rate is unavailable, then the interest rate option described in (b) shall be replaced with a benchmark replacement determined to be applicable by such Administrative Agent. 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
237
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 April 30, 2021. During the period ended April 30, 2021, no Fund utilized the Credit Facility.

Note G—Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)". In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance.

Notes to Financial Highlights Income Funds (Unaudited)
# Represents the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets if Management had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fee and if High Income and Municipal Impact had not received refunds, plus interest, from State Street noted in (e) below for custodian out-of-pocket expenses previously paid during the year ended October 31, 2017.
@ Calculated based on the average number of shares outstanding during each fiscal period.
** Annualized.
* Not annualized.
^ The date investment operations commenced.
‡ Organization expense and/or proxy-related expense, which is a non-recurring expense, is included in these ratios on a non-annualized basis.
§ After repayment of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived pursuant to terms of the contractual expense limitation agreements by Management, as applicable. Had the Fund not made such repayments, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average net assets would have been:
| | Six Months Ended April 30, | | Year Ended October 31, | |
| | 2021 | | 2020 | | 2017 | |
High Income Class A | | | 1.10 | % | | | 1.04 | % | | | — | | |
High Income Class R3 | | | — | | | | — | | | | 1.35 | % | |
Strategic Income Class A | | | 0.99 | % | | | 0.99 | % | | | — | | |
^^ 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 six months ended April 30, 2021. The class action proceeds received in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016 had no impact on the Funds' total returns for the years ended October 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Strategic Income | | | 160 | % | | | 344 | % | | | 325 | % | | | 345 | % | | | 352 | % | | | 363 | % | |
d The custodian expenses refund noted in (e) 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 Investor Class | | | 0.84 | % | | | 5.34 | % | |
High Income Institutional Class | | | 0.70 | % | | | 5.49 | % | |
High Income Class A | | | 1.14 | % | | | 5.05 | % | |

High Income Class R6 | | | 0.61 | % | | | 5.56 | % | |
Municipal Impact Institutional Class | | | 0.92 | % | | | 2.23 | % | |
e 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 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.
f Represents the annualized ratio of net expenses to average daily net assets after utilization of the line of credit by Emerging Markets Debt (2020) and Floating Rate Income (2019) and/or reimbursement of expenses and/or waiver of a portion of the investment management fee by Management. Had Emerging Markets Debt and Floating Rate Income not utilized the line of credit, and had Management not undertaken such action, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets would have been:
| | Year Ended October 31, | |
| | 2020 | | 2019 | |
Emerging Markets Debt Institutional Class | | | 0.79 | % | | | — | | |
Emerging Markets Debt Class A | | | 1.16 | % | | | — | | |
