The Post-Effective Amendment was filed to incorporate proposed changes to Neuberger Berman Cash Reserves' investment policy, whereby the Fund would change to a hub-and-spoke structure and would invest all of the its net investable assets in a corresponding master fund. Subsequent to the filing of the Post-Effective Amendment, the Registrant has determined that it would be in the Fund's best interest not to enter into a hub-and-spoke structure at this time. Accordingly, the Registrant requests the withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendment. The Registrant confirms that no securities were sold in connection with the proposed offering pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendment. If you have any questions concerning the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact Fatima Sulaiman of K&L Gates LLP, counsel to the Registrant, at (202) 778-9223.
