Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund.
The global financial markets generated solid results over the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2019. Despite a weak start, U.S. equities rallied sharply as the reporting period progressed. The market's ascent was partially driven by corporate profits that often exceeded lowered expectations, monetary policy accommodation and reports of progress on the U.S./China trade negotiation front. These factors offset signs of moderating growth outside the U.S., uncertainties surrounding Brexit and a number of geopolitical issues.
Elsewhere, the U.S. fixed income market also performed well over the reporting period. The U.S. economy continued to expand, while inflation remained relatively benign. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields declined as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board cut rates three times during the period to combat slowing growth in the U.S. and more globally. Additionally, the European Central Bank cut its deposit interest rate further into negative territory and launched a new round of monthly bond purchases to stimulate a lagging Eurozone economy.
All told, the U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, gained 14.33% over the reporting period. International developed and emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® and MSCI Emerging Market Indices, returned 11.04% and 11.86%, respectively, over the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Meanwhile, the overall U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 11.51% during the reporting period.
We continue to position the portfolio to benefit from increased market volatility. In our view, volatility could increase due to several factors, such as unresolved U.S./China trade negotiations, uncertainties surrounding Brexit, moderating European and emerging markets growth and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. The Fund continues to diversify its portfolio among a variety of strategies, which are discussed in the Fund commentary that follows.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.
Sincerely,
JOSEPH V. AMATO
PRESIDENT AND CEO

Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund Institutional Class generated a 2.48% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, underperforming its primary benchmark, the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (the Index), which returned 3.53% for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table following this letter.)
Global equity market performance was strong during the 12 month period ended October 31, 2019, with markets declining early in the period before rallying thereafter. Markets experienced short bouts of volatility throughout the period, but generally remained at more modest levels on a historical basis. U.S. Treasury yields moved significantly lower and the curve flattened slightly. The U.S. dollar strengthened modestly during the period. Commodity pricing was mixed, as gold prices increased, while crude oil and natural gas prices declined.
The Fund's allocations to global macro/managed futures, long/short equity, merger arbitrage/event driven and credit strategies contributed to performance. From a risk management perspective, we were pleased that the Fund's volatility and risk relative to the S&P 500® and Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Indices were both in line with our expectations.
The allocation to global macro/managed futures strategy was the largest contributor for the period. Within this category, the managed futures allocation was responsible for the majority of gains, driven mainly by interest rate positioning which outpaced losses from currency positioning. Gains within the systematic currency strategy came primarily from long U.S. dollar positioning versus the Euro and, to a lesser degree, the Australian dollar.
The allocation to long/short equity strategies was beneficial to performance, with positive performance from most subadvisers. Gains from longs outpaced losses from shorts and the subadvisers in aggregate generated overall positive returns.
The Fund's allocation to credit strategies was a positive contributor. The asset-backed securities (ABS) strategy was positive for the period with gains spread across sectors. The corporate credit long/short strategy detracted from results, with losses spread across floating rate bank loans and credit default swaps.
The merger arbitrage/event driven allocation contributed to returns as a number of deals progressed and closed during the period.
During the reporting period, we decided to liquidate the Fund's allocation to Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, swap and option contracts contributed positively to performance during the period.
We continue to position the portfolio in such a way that we believe it will perform in line with our expectations if interest rates and volatility remain at current levels, however, we believe the portfolio has the potential to outperform versus the Index if interest rates and/or volatility increase. The Fund's largest allocation continues to be to credit, split between corporate credit long/short and ABS. We view this as a defensive allocation given the short duration and historically high liquidity of the assets in this sleeve. The second largest strategy allocation is long/short equity. Correlations between stocks have remained low throughout the year and we believe this trend will continue as the effects of global trade wars and interest rate expectations continue to be priced into stocks. The Fund's third largest allocation is to global macro/managed futures strategies, which we believe have the potential to benefit from rising volatility. However, we have trimmed both subadviser allocations slightly given recent strong performance. The Fund's fourth largest allocation is to merger arbitrage/event driven strategies. While spreads remain relatively tight, we believe robust deal volume and spread volatility have the potential to offer opportunity.
Sincerely,
DAVID KUPPERMAN, JEFF MAJIT AND FRED INGHAM

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, 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 ("Management") had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, as amended, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2018 were 2.58%, 2.88%, 3.70% and 2.48% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any, and after restatement for Class R6 shares). The expense ratios were 2.39%, 2.66%, 3.50% and 2.29% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers and/or restatement. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2019 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 5.75% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may include a more narrowly based index. Market indices have not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results.

Data about the performance of an index are prepared or obtained by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC and reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The Fund may invest in securities not included in a described index and generally does not invest in all securities included in a described index.
2 The date used to calculate Life of Fund performance for the index is the inception date of the oldest share class.
3 The performance information for Class R6 prior to the class's inception date is that of the Institutional Class of Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund. The performance information for the Institutional Class has not been adjusted to take into account differences in class specific operating expenses. The Institutional Class has higher expenses and typically lower returns than Class R6.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses (Unaudited)
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (if applicable), and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in U.S. dollars) of investing in a Fund and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This table is designed to provide information regarding costs related to your investments. The following examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended October 31, 2019 and held for the entire period. The table illustrates each Fund's costs in two ways:
Actual Expenses and Performance: | | The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in dollars, based on the Fund's actual performance during the period indicated. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section of the table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. | |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: | | The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return at 5% per year before expenses. This return is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund versus other funds. To do so, compare the expenses shown in this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. | |
Please note that the expenses in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) (if applicable). Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Absolute
Return Multi-Manager Fund
Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
1 General: Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Instrument dated March 27, 2014. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund (the "Fund") is a separate operating series of the Trust, and is diversified. The Fund offers Institutional Class shares, Class A shares, Class C shares and 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 rounding to less than 1.
The assets of the Fund belong only to the Fund, and the liabilities of the Fund are borne solely by the Fund and no other.
The 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.
The Fund invests in commodity-related instruments through the Neuberger Berman Cayman ARMM Fund I Ltd. (the "Subsidiary"), which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Fund is and expects to remain the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is governed by its own Board of Directors.
As of October 31, 2019, the value of the Fund's investment in the Subsidiary was as follows:
Investment in Subsidiary | | Percentage of Net Assets | |
$ | 15,212,781 | | | | 8.7 | % | |
2 Consolidation: The accompanying financial statements of the Fund present the consolidated accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
3 Portfolio valuation: In accordance with ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by the Fund are carried at the value that Management believes the 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 Fund's investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant Management judgment may be necessary to value investments in accordance with ASC 820.
ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)
• Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the 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.
44
The value of the Fund's investments (long and short positions) in equity securities, preferred stocks, exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), exchange traded options purchased, master limited partnerships, rights and warrants, 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 Fund's investments for long and short positions in debt securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid or offer quotations, respectively, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations based on security type (generally Level 2 inputs). In addition to the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions, the following is a description of other Level 2 inputs and related valuation techniques used by independent pricing services to value certain types of debt securities held by the Fund:
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").
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.
U.S. Treasury Obligations. Inputs used to value U.S. Treasury securities generally include quotes from several inter-dealer brokers 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.
Convertible Bonds. Inputs used to value convertible bonds generally include underlying stock data, dealer quotes, conversion premiums, listed bond and preferred stock prices and other market information, which may include benchmark curves, trade execution data, and sensitivity analysis, when available.
The value of loan assignments is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on broker quotes (generally Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available).
The value of futures is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services at the settlement price at the market close (Level 1 inputs).
The value of forward contracts is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on actual traded currency rates on independent pricing services' networks, along with other traded and quoted currency rates provided to the pricing services by leading market participants (Level 2 inputs).
The value of equity swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using the underlying asset and stated benchmark index rate (generally Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).
45
The value of credit default swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using a model that considers a number of factors, which may include default probabilities, credit curves, recovery rates and cash flows (Level 2 inputs).
Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.
Investments in non-exchange traded investment companies are valued using the respective fund's daily calculated net asset value ("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 the Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, Management seeks to obtain quotations from brokers or dealers (generally considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Board has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, securities within the same industry with recent highly correlated performance, trading in futures or American Depositary Receipts and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.
The value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities is generally determined using the same valuation methods and inputs as other Fund investments, as discussed above. Foreign security prices expressed in local currency values are normally translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on days the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business. The Board has approved the use of ICE Data Pricing and Reference Data LLC ("ICE") to assist in determining the fair value of foreign equity securities when changes in the value of a certain index suggest that the closing prices on the foreign exchanges may no longer represent the amount that the Fund could expect to receive for those securities or on days when foreign markets are closed and U.S. markets are open. In each of these events, ICE will provide adjusted prices for certain foreign equity securities using a statistical analysis of historical correlations of multiple factors (Level 2 inputs). The Board has also approved the use of ICE to evaluate the prices of foreign debt securities as of the time as of which the 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 the Fund's share price is calculated (Level 2 inputs) to assist in determining prices for certain foreign debt securities. In the case of both foreign equity and foreign debt securities, in the absence of precise information about the market values of these foreign securities as of the time as of which the 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 the 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.
4 Foreign currency translations: The accounting records of the Fund and Subsidiary 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations.
5 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 the Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are
46
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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. Included in net realized gain/(loss) on investments are proceeds from the settlement of class action litigation(s) in which the Fund participated as a class member. The amount of such proceeds for the year ended October 31, 2019, was $39,687.
6 Income tax information: The Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the 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 the Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.
The Fund has 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 Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired. As of October 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax positions.
The Subsidiary is a controlled foreign corporation under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. As a U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation, the Fund will include in its taxable income its share of the Subsidiary's current earnings and profits (including net realized gains). Any deficit generated by the Subsidiary will be disregarded for purposes of computing the Fund's taxable income in the current period and also disregarded for all future periods.
At October 31, 2019 the cost of long security positions and short security positions for U.S. federal income tax purposes was $150,924,636. Gross unrealized appreciation of long security positions, short security positions and derivative instruments was $8,750,674 and gross unrealized depreciation of long security positions, short security positions and derivative instruments was $10,287,984, resulting in net unrealized depreciation of $1,537,310 based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
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 the Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund.
As determined on October 31, 2019, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting were reclassified at year end. Such differences may be attributed to the tax treatment of one or more of the following: prior year true up adjustment or partnership adjustment, prior year true up adjustment or real estate investment trust ("REIT")/non REIT return of capital adjustment and wholly owned subsidiary income and gain (loss). For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund recorded the following permanent reclassifications:
Paid-in Capital | | Total Distributable Earnings/(Losses) | |
$ | 1,677,611 | | | $ | (1,677,611 | ) | |
47
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2019, and October 31, 2018, was as follows:
| | Distributions Paid From: | |
Ordinary Income | | Tax-Exempt Income | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | Return of Capital | | Total | |
2019 | | 2018 | | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2019 | | 2018 | |
$ | 83,294 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 83,294 | | | $ | — | | |
As of October 31, 2019, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a U.S. federal income tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income/(Loss) | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Loss Carryforwards and Deferrals | | Other Temporary Differences | | Total | |
$ | 4,017,686 | | | $ | — | | | $ | (1,469,547 | ) | | $ | (110,503,691 | ) | | $ | (566,622 | ) | | $ | (108,522,174 | ) | |
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, mark-to-market on adjustments on swaps, futures and forward contracts, amortization of organizational expenses, tax adjustments related to swap contracts and other investments, mark-to-market adjustments on passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"), wholly owned subsidiary income and gain (loss), capital loss carryforwards, and gain recognized on constructive sale.
To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains. Capital loss carryforward rules allow for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term. As determined at October 31, 2019, the Fund had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:
Long-Term | | Short-Term | |
$ | 36,898,262 | | | $ | 73,605,429 | | |
7 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. At October 31, 2019, there were no outstanding balances of accrued capital gains taxes for the Fund.
8 Distributions to shareholders: The Fund may earn income, net of expenses, daily on its investments.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed once a year (usually in December) and are recorded on the ex-date.
It is the policy of the Fund to pass through to its shareholders substantially all REIT distributions and other income it receives, less operating expenses. The distributions received from REITs are generally composed of income, capital gains, and/or return of REIT capital, but the REITs do not report this information to the Fund until the following calendar year. At October 31, 2019, the Fund estimated these amounts for the period January 1, 2019, to October 31, 2019, within the financial statements because the 2019 information is not available from the REITs until after the Fund's fiscal year-end. All estimates are based upon REIT information sources available to the Fund together with actual IRS Forms 1099-DIV received to date. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the character of distributions paid to shareholders of the Fund, if any, disclosed within the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets is based on estimates made at that time. Based on past experience it is possible that a portion of the Fund's distributions during the current fiscal year, if any, will be considered tax return of capital, but the actual amount of the tax return of capital, if any, is not determinable until after the Fund's fiscal year-end.
48
After calendar year-end, when the Fund learns the nature of the distributions paid by REITs during that year, distributions previously identified as income are often recharacterized as return of capital and/or capital gain. After all applicable REITs have informed the Fund of the actual breakdown of distributions paid to the Fund during its fiscal year, estimates previously recorded are adjusted on the books of the Fund to reflect actual results. As a result, the composition of the Fund's distributions as reported herein, if any, may differ from the final composition determined after calendar year-end and reported to the Fund shareholders on IRS Form 1099-DIV.
9 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., the Fund) are allocated among the series of the Trust, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the series can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributable to a particular investment company in the complex (e.g., the Trust) or series thereof are allocated among the investment companies in the complex or series thereof on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly. The Fund's expenses (other than those specific to each class) are allocated proportionally each day among the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
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 sold short: The Fund may engage in short sales, which are sales of securities which have been borrowed from a third party on the expectation that the market price will decline. If the price of the securities decreases, the Fund will make a profit by purchasing the securities in the open market at a price lower than the one at which it sold the securities. If the price of the securities increases, the Fund may have to cover its short positions at a price higher than the short sale price, resulting in a loss. Gains are limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, while losses are potentially unlimited in size. The Fund pledges securities and/or other assets to the lender as collateral. Proceeds received from short sales may be maintained by the lender as collateral or may be released to the Fund and used to purchase additional securities or for any other purpose. Proceeds maintained by the lender are included in the "Cash collateral segregated for short sales" on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is required to segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities sold short (less any additional collateral pledged to the lender). The Fund is contractually responsible to remit to the lender any dividends and interest payable on securities while those securities are being borrowed by the Fund. The Fund may receive or pay the net of the interest charged by the prime broker on the borrowed securities and a financing charge for the difference in the market value of the short position and the cash collateral deposited with the broker. This income or fee is calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on the availability of the security. These costs related to short sales (i.e., dividend and interest remitted to the lender and interest charged by the prime broker) are recorded as an expense of the Fund and are excluded from the contractual expense limitation. A net negative expense, if any, represents a gain to the Fund as the total cash rebates received exceeded the other costs related to short sales. The net amount of fees incurred are included in the "Dividend and interest expense on securities sold short" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and were $88,873 for the year ended October 31, 2019.
49
At October 31, 2019, the Fund had cash pledged in the amount of $18,645,025 to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA ("JPM"), as collateral for short sales. In addition, JPM has a perfected security interest in these assets. At October 31, 2019, the Fund had securities pledged in the amount of $4,441,030 to JPM to cover collateral requirements for borrowing in connection with securities sold short.
12 Investment company securities and ETFs : The Fund may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, including ETFs, within the limitations prescribed by (a) the 1940 Act, (b) the exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that permits the Fund 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. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, which will decrease returns.
13 When-issued/delayed delivery securities: The Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time the 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 the Fund until payment takes place. At the time the 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 the 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.
14 Derivative instruments: The Fund's use of derivatives during the year ended October 31, 2019, is described below. Please see the Consolidated Schedule of Investments for the Fund's open positions in derivatives, if any, at October 31, 2019. The Fund has 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, even though the Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.
Credit default swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund used credit default swaps as part of its investment strategies, to enhance returns and to hedge against unfavorable changes in the value of investments and to protect against adverse movements in interest rates or credit performance with counterparties.
When the Fund is the buyer of an over the counter ("OTC") 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 the Fund is the seller of an OTC credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the 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
50
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 the swap. 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 International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") 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.
Futures contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund used futures for economic hedging purposes and to enhance returns.
At the time the Fund or Subsidiary 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 the Fund or Subsidiary 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, the Fund or Subsidiary 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 the Fund or Subsidiary because the exchange's clearinghouse assumes the position of the counterparty in each transaction. Thus, the Fund or Subsidiary 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, futures transactions undertaken by the Fund or Subsidiary 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 or Subsidiary. Also, the Fund's or Subsidiary's losses on transactions involving futures contracts may be deferred rather than being taken into account currently in calculating the Fund's taxable income.
Equity swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund used equity swaps to provide investment exposure to certain investments, primarily foreign securities.
Equity swaps are two-party contracts in which counterparties exchange the return on a specified reference security for the return based on a fixed or floating interest rate during the period of the swap. Upon entering an equity swap, the Fund may be required to pledge an amount of cash and/or other assets to the broker which is equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequent payments known as variation margins are made or received by the Fund periodically depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Equity swaps are marked to market daily based on the value of the underlying reference entity and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Equity swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. 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 ISDA agreement between the Fund and the counterparty. If the other party to an equity swap defaults, the Fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund
51
is contractually entitled to receive, if any. Equity swaps are derivatives and their value can be very volatile. To the extent that future market trends, the values of assets or economic factors are not accurately analyzed and predicted, the Fund may suffer a loss, which may exceed the related amounts shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Forward foreign currency contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund used forward foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency and to enhance returns.
A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific currency for another at a set price on a future date, and is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. The market value of a forward contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. At the consummation of a forward contract to purchase or sell currency, the Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of the forward contract or enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward contract. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing a contract is included in "Net realized gain/(loss) on settlement of forward foreign currency contracts" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and the risk the counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligation.
Options: During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund used options written to generate incremental returns. The Fund used purchased options to manage or adjust the risk profile and the investment exposure of the Fund to certain securities and to enhance returns.
Premiums paid by the Fund upon purchasing a call or put option are recorded in the asset section of the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, the Fund realizes a gain or loss and the asset is eliminated. For purchased call options, the Fund's loss is limited to the amount of the option premium paid.
Premiums received by the Fund upon writing a call option or a put option are recorded in the liability section of the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, the Fund realizes a gain or loss and the liability is eliminated.
When the Fund writes a call option on an underlying asset it does not own, its exposure on such an option is theoretically unlimited. When writing a covered call option, the Fund, in return for the premium, gives up the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the underlying security above the exercise price, but conversely retains the risk of loss should the price of the security decline. When writing a put option, the Fund, in return for the premium, takes the risk that it must purchase the underlying security at a price that may be higher than the current market price of the security. If a covered call or put option that the Fund has written expires unexercised, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium.
The Fund may write or purchase options on exchange traded futures contracts ("futures option") to hedge an existing position or future investment, for speculative purposes or to manage exposure to market movements. A futures option is an option contract in which the underlying instrument is a specific futures contract.
52
At October 31, 2019, the Fund had the following derivatives (which did not qualify as hedging instruments under ASC 815), grouped by primary risk exposure:

While the Fund may receive rights and warrants in connection with their investments in securities, these rights and warrants are not considered "derivative instruments" under ASC 815.
The Fund is required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowing transactions that are eligible for offset or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. The Fund's derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type are reported gross in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present the Fund's derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting or similar agreement and net of the related collateral received by the Fund for assets and pledged by the Fund for liabilities as of October 31, 2019.

15 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.
16 Unfunded loan commitments: The Fund may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower's discretion. As of October 31, 2019, the value of unfunded loan commitments was approximately $75,000 pursuant to the following loan agreements.

18 Other: All net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Fund are allocated, on the basis of relative net assets, pro rata among its respective classes.
Note B—Investment Management Fees, Administration Fees, Distribution Arrangements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The Fund retains NBIA as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, the Fund pays NBIA a fee at the annual rate of 1.700% of the first $250 million of the Fund's
56
average daily net assets, 1.675% of the next $250 million, 1.650% of the next $250 million, 1.625% of the next $250 million, 1.600% of the next $500 million, 1.575% of the next $2.5 billion, and 1.550% of average daily net assets in excess of $4 billion. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the investment management fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 1.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Fund retains NBIA as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. The administration fee is assessed at the Class level and each share class of the Fund, as applicable, pays NBIA an annual administration fee equal to the following: 0.15% for Institutional Class; 0.26% for each of Class A and Class C; and 0.05% for Class R6 (prior to December 6, 2018, the administration fee for Class R6 was 0.08%), each as a percentage of its average daily net assets. Additionally, NBIA retains JPM as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. NBIA pays JPM 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 Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 of the Fund 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, 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. The 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' 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. The expenses of the Subsidiary are included in the total expenses used to calculate the reimbursement, which the Fund has agreed to share with the Subsidiary. For the year ended October 31, 2019, these Subsidiary expenses amounted to $121,097.
At October 31, 2019, contingent liabilities to NBIA under the agreements were as follows:
| | | | | | Expenses Reimbursed in the Year Ended October 31, | |
| | | | | | 2017 | | 2018 | | 2019 | |
| | | | | | Subject to Repayment until October 31, | |

(1) Expense limitation per annum of the respective class' average daily net assets.
(2) Prior December 6, 2018, the contractual expense limitation for Class R6 was 1.90%.
At October 31, 2019, NBIA engaged BH-DG Systematic Trading LLP, Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC, GAMCO Asset Management Inc., Good Hill Partners LP, P/E Global, LLC, Portland Hill Asset Management Limited and Sound Point Capital Management, L.P. as subadvisers of the Fund to provide investment management services. NBIA compensates the subadvisers out of the investment advisory fees it receives from the Fund.
57
The 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 for Class A and Class C shares, and bears advertising and promotion expenses.
However, the Distributor receives fees from 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 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 Class A's and 1.00% of 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 the Fund are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 5.75% and no contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), except that a CDSC of 1.00% applies to certain redemptions made within 18 months following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with no initial sales charge and a 1.00% CDSC if shares are sold within one year after purchase.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, Neuberger Berman, acting as underwriter and broker-dealer, received net initial sales charges from the purchase of Class A shares and CDSCs from the redemption of Class A and Class C shares as follows:
| | Underwriter | | Broker-Dealer | |
| | Net Initial Sales Charges | | CDSC | | Net Initial Sales Charges | | CDSC | |
Class A | | $ | 1,089 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | |
Class C | | | — | | | | 28 | | | | — | | | | — | | |

Other: At October 31, 2019, affiliated persons, as defined in the 1940 Act, owned 1.96% of the Fund's outstanding shares.
Note E—Line of Credit:
At October 31, 2019, the 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. The Credit Facility has an annual commitment fee of 0.15% per annum of the available line of credit, which is paid quarterly. The Fund has agreed to pay its pro rata share of the annual commitment fee, based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the net assets of all participants at the time the fee is due, and interest charged on any borrowing made by the Fund and other costs incurred by the Fund. Because several mutual funds participate in the Credit Facility, there is no assurance that an individual Fund will have access to all or any part of the $700,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility at October 31, 2019. During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund did not utilize the Credit Facility.
Note F—Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, "Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities" ("ASU 2017-08"). ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period to the earliest call date for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this guidance.
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement") ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will require the disclosure of the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and the changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will also
59
require that information is provided about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and allows for early adoption of either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the disclosure requirements. Management has elected to adopt early the provisions that eliminate the disclosure requirements. Management is still currently evaluating the impact of applying the rest of the guidance.

@ Calculated based on the average number of shares outstanding during each fiscal period.

Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund (the "Fund"), one of the series constituting Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds (the "Trust"), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2019 and the related consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Fund (one of the series constituting Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds) at October 31, 2019, the consolidated results of its operations for the year ended, the consolidated changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Neuberger Berman investment companies since 1954.

Board Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements
On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds (the "Trust"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or of Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreement with Management (the "Management Agreement") and the separate sub-advisory agreements between Management and each sub-adviser (each a "Sub-Adviser") with respect to Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund ("ARMM" or "Fund"). The Board considered the sub-advisory agreements between Management and each of the following Sub-Advisers: BH-DG Systematic Trading LLP, Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC, GAMCO Asset Management Inc., Good Hill Partners LP, P/E Global, LLC, Portland Hill Asset Management Limited, and Sound Point Capital Management, L.P. (each a "Sub-Advisory Agreement"; collectively with the Management Agreement, the "Agreements"). Throughout the process, the Independent Fund Trustees are advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management ("Independent Counsel"). At a meeting held on September 12, 2019 the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreements for the Fund.
In evaluating the Agreements with respect to the Fund, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed extensive materials provided by Management and each Sub-Adviser in response to questions submitted by the Independent Fund Trustees and Independent Counsel, and (for the Sub-Advisers), by Management, and met with senior representatives of Management regarding its personnel, operations, and financial condition as they relate to the Fund. The annual contract review extends over at least two regular meetings of the Board to ensure that Management and each Sub-Adviser have time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Trustees may have on their initial review of the materials and that the Independent Fund Trustees have time to consider those responses.
In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered the broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year, including reports on investment performance, portfolio risk, and other portfolio information for the Fund, including the use of derivatives if used as part of a Sub-Adviser's strategy, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; quality and cost of portfolio trade execution; compliance; and shareholder and other services provided by Management and its affiliates. The Contract Review Committee, which is comprised of Independent Fund Trustees, was established by the Board to assist in its deliberations regarding the annual contract review. The Board has also established other committees that focus throughout the year on specific areas relevant to the annual contract review, such as Fund performance or compliance matters, and that are charged with specific responsibilities regarding the annual contract review. Each quarter, the Ethics and Compliance Committee received and reviewed a summary of the quarterly compliance questionnaire completed by each Sub-Adviser that was prepared by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, in addition to other information provided between meetings. The Board also considered the size and staffing of certain Sub-Advisers, as warranted, particularly the staffing of the portfolio management and compliance functions. Those committees provide reports to the Contract Review Committee and the full Board, which consider that information as part of the annual contract review process. The Board's Contract Review Committee annually considers and updates the questions it asks of Management and the Sub-Advisers in light of legal advice furnished to them by Independent Counsel; their own business judgment; and developments in the industry, in the markets, in mutual fund regulation and litigation, and in Management's and the Sub-Advisers' business models.
The Independent Fund Trustees received from Independent Counsel memoranda discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Contract Review Committee and the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management and the Sub-Advisers.
Provided below is a description of the Board's contract approval process and material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding renewals of the Agreements and the compensation to be paid thereunder. In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreements, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to the Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of the Fund and Fund shareholders.
79
The Board's determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically in connection with the annual contract review. The Board considered each Agreement of the Fund separately from one another.
This description is not intended to include all of the factors considered by the Board. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the costs and benefits of the Agreements to the Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services
With respect to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of, and the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management and each Sub-Adviser who perform services for the Fund.
The Board noted that Management and the Fund had obtained from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission an exemptive order that permitted Management to add or replace sub-advisers to the Fund without a shareholder vote, provided the Independent Fund Trustees approve the new sub-adviser and certain other steps are taken. In this context, the Board considered Management's responsibilities for designing an overall investment program for the Fund and then identifying the sub-advisers who will carry out the different portions of that program based on Management's due diligence of those sub-advisers. The Board noted that under the multi-manager arrangement, Management is continually assessing the need for new sub-advisers and the appropriateness of potential candidates, and noted the likelihood that Management would in the future have to conduct "due diligence" on additional sub-advisers. The Board noted that Management is responsible for making the investments for the portion of the portfolio that it manages, allocating the Fund's portfolio among the various Sub-Advisers and itself, and determining when and how to rebalance the allocations among the Sub-Advisers and itself in the wake of disparate growth and changes in the markets and the broader economy, and to making certain other investment decisions and engaging in transactions to hedge or balance risks in the Sub-Advisers' portfolios. The Board noted that Management is also responsible for coordinating and managing the flow of information and communications relating to the Fund among the Sub-Advisers, and coordinating responses to regulatory agency inquiries related to the operations of the Trust.
The Board further noted that Management is responsible for overseeing the Sub-Advisers pursuant to the Agreements and related sub-adviser oversight policies and procedures approved by the Board. Under these procedures, Management is responsible for overseeing the investment performance of the Sub-Advisers and evaluating the risk and return of each Sub-Adviser and the Fund as a whole, in addition to other significant oversight responsibilities. The Board noted that Management is also responsible for monitoring compliance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions, as well as compliance with applicable law, including implementing rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance services. The Board also considered the policies and practices regarding brokerage, commissions, other trading costs, and allocation of portfolio transactions of Management and each of the Sub-Advisers and noted that Management monitored the quality of the execution services provided by each Sub-Adviser. Moreover, the Board considered Management's approach to potential conflicts of interest both generally and between the Fund's investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by Management or the Sub-Advisers. The Board also noted that Management had increased its research capabilities with respect to environmental, social, and corporate governance matters and how those factors may relate to investment performance.
The Board noted the extensive range of services that Management provides to the Fund beyond the investment management and Sub-Adviser oversight services. It also noted Management's activities under its contractual obligation to oversee the Fund's various outside service providers, including its renegotiation of certain service providers' fees and its evaluation of service providers' infrastructure, cybersecurity programs, compliance programs, and business continuity
80
programs, among other matters. The Board noted Management's extensive activities in selecting and overseeing the Sub-Advisers, including questionnaires, site visits, analyses of performance, compliance monitoring, and evaluating third party reviews of potential sub-advisers, and the quarterly and annual reports that Management provides to the Board on the Sub-Advisers' performance and compliance. In addition, the Board considered the scope and compliance history of the compliance programs of Management and each Sub-Adviser, including the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer's and Management's assessment of the compliance programs of the Sub-Advisers. The Board discussed that Management's Chief Information Security Officer had evaluated the Sub-Advisers' responses on questions of cybersecurity, business continuity, and disaster recovery. The Board also considered Management's ongoing development of its own infrastructure and information technology to support the Fund through, among other things, cybersecurity, business continuity planning, and risk management.
In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management and each Sub-Adviser, as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to any of the firms. The Board also considered whether there were any pending lawsuits, enforcement proceedings, or regulatory investigations involving Management or any Sub-Adviser, and reviewed information regarding their financial condition, history of operations, and any conflicts of interests in managing the Fund. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio managers' compensation and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Fund. The Board also considered the ability of Management to attract and retain qualified personnel to service the Fund.
The Board considered that Management assumes significant ongoing risks with respect to the Fund, for which Management is entitled to reasonable compensation. Specifically, Management's responsibilities include continual management of investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory, and compliance risks as they relate to the Fund, and the Board considers on a regular basis information regarding Management's processes for monitoring and managing risk. In addition, the Board also noted that when Management launches a new fund or share class, it assumes entrepreneurial risk with respect to that fund or class, and that some new funds and share classes have been liquidated without ever having been profitable to Management.
As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it. In addition, the Board considered actions taken by Management in response to recent market conditions and considered the overall performance of Management in this context.
Fund Performance
The Board requested a report from an outside consulting firm that specializes in the analysis of fund industry data that compared the Fund's performance, along with its fees and other expenses, to a group of industry peers and a broader universe of funds pursuing generally similar strategies with the same investment classification and/or objective. The Board considered the Fund's performance and fees in light of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing such a comparative group and determining which investment companies should be included in the comparative group.
With respect to investment performance, the Board considered information regarding the Fund's short-, intermediate- and long-term performance, as applicable, net of the Fund's fees and expenses, on an absolute basis, relative to a benchmark index that does not deduct the fees or expenses of investing, and compared to the performance of the industry peer group and a broader universe of funds, each constructed by the consulting firm. The Board also considered information regarding each Sub-Adviser's performance. The Board also reviewed performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers.
The broader universe of funds referenced in this section are those identified by the consulting firm, as discussed above, and the risk/return ratios referenced are the Sharpe ratios provided by the consulting firm. In the case of underperformance for the periods reflected, the Board considered the magnitude and duration of that underperformance relative to the broader universe and/or the benchmark (e.g., the amount by which the Fund underperformed, including,
81
for example, whether the Fund slightly underperformed or significantly underperformed its benchmark). With respect to performance quintile rankings for the Fund compared to its broader universe ("Performance Universe"), the first quintile represents the highest (best) performance and the fifth quintile represents the lowest performance. The Fund has more than one class of shares outstanding and information for Institutional Class has been provided as identified below. The Board reviewed the expense structures of all the other classes of shares of the Fund, some of which have higher fees and expenses that reflect their separate distribution and servicing arrangements and the differing needs of different investors. As a proxy for the class expense structure, the Board reviewed the expenses of each class for one Fund in the Trust in comparison to Expense Groups for those classes. The Board noted the effect of higher expenses on the performance of the other classes of shares.
The Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended December 31, 2018: (1) as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods; and (2) as compared to its Performance Universe, the Fund's performance was in the second quintile for the 1-year period, the third quintile for the 3-year period, and the fifth quintile for the 5-year period. The Fund was launched in 2012 and therefore does not have 10-year performance.
The Board discussed with Management the Fund's performance, potential reasons for any underperformance, and steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance, including its demonstrated willingness to replace or terminate a Sub-Adviser. In considering the Fund's performance, the Board noted Management's representations that hedge fund strategies, like those the various Sub-Advisers pursue, have generally been out of favor in the 3-year and 5-years periods but that the Fund's year-to-date performance reflected a more favorable market environment for these strategies. In this regard, the Board noted that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of the Agreements and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreements notwithstanding the Fund's relative performance.
Fee Rates, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for the Fund under the Agreements as compared to the peer group provided by the consulting firm. The Board reviewed a comparison of the Fund's management fee to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in the Fund's management fee, the separate administrative fees paid to Management. However, the Board noted that some funds in the peer group pay directly from fund assets for certain services that Management covers out of the administration fees for the Funds. Accordingly, the Board also considered the Fund's total expense ratio as compared with its peer group as a way of taking account of these differences.
The Board compared the Fund's contractual and actual management fees to the median of the contractual and actual management fees, respectively, of the Fund's peer group. (The actual management fees are the contractual management fees reduced by any fee waivers or other adjustments. The information provided herein relating to the Fund's management fees is for the Fund's Institutional Class.) The Board also compared the Fund's total expenses to the median of the total expenses of the Fund's peer group. With respect to the quintile rankings for fees and total expenses (net of waivers or other adjustments, if any) for the Fund compared to its peer group ("Expense Group"), the first quintile represents the lowest fees and/or total expenses and the fifth quintile represents the highest fees and/or total expenses. The Board considered that, as compared to its Expense Group, the Fund's contractual management fee, the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management, and the total expenses each ranked in the fifth quintile. The Board noted that the multi-manager structure, which may be more expensive to manage, allows Management the ability to pursue a variety of different strategies and to seek out specialists in each strategy.
In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to the Fund, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management's estimated loss on the Fund for a recent period on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses, including year-over-year changes in each of Management's reported
82
expense categories. (The Board also reviewed data on Management's estimated loss on the Fund after distribution expenses and taxes were factored in, as indicators of the health of the business and the extent to which Management is directing its profits into the growth of the business.) The Board considered the cost allocation methodology that Management used in developing its estimated profitability figures. In recent years, the Board engaged an independent forensic accountant to review the profitability methodology utilized by Management when preparing this information and discussed with the consultant its conclusion that Management's process for calculating and reporting its estimated loss was not unreasonable. Recognizing that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose and that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to different profit and loss results, the Board, in recent years, requested from Management examples of profitability calculated by different methods and noted that the estimated profitability levels were still reasonable when calculated by these other methods. The Board further noted Management's representation that its estimate of profitability is derived using methodology that is consistent with the methodology used to assess and/or report measures of profitability elsewhere at the firm. In addition, the Board recognized that Management's calculations regarding its costs may not reflect all risks, including regulatory, legal, operational, reputational, and, where appropriate, entrepreneurial risks, associated with offering and managing a mutual fund in the current regulatory and market environment.
The Board also monitors throughout the year the potential effect on the profitability of Management resulting from changes in Sub-Advisers and/or their fees. The Board did not give substantial weight to estimated profitability data from the Sub-Advisers because the Board did not view this data as being a key factor to its deliberations given the arm's-length nature of the relationship between Management and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory fee rates. To test its assumption of an arm's-length fee rate, the Board requested from Management information about any other business relationships it has with any of the Sub-Advisers. In addition, the Board noted that the Sub-Advisers may not account for their profits on an account-by-account basis and those that do typically employ different methodologies in connection with these calculations. The Board also considered any fall-out (i.e., indirect) benefits likely to accrue to Management or its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board also considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with investment objectives, policies, and strategies that were similar to those of the Fund. The Board also considered the fees the Sub-Advisers charge for products with investment objectives, policies, and strategies that were similar to those of the Fund, if any. The Board noted that in many cases, those products were hedge funds, which typically charge fees substantially higher than mutual funds.
Economies of Scale
The Board also evaluated apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to the Fund. The Board considered whether the Fund's fee structure provides for a reduction of payments resulting from the use of breakpoints, the size of any breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fees, and whether any such breakpoints are set at appropriate asset levels. The Board also compared the breakpoint structure to that of the peer group. In addition, the Board considered the expense limitation and/or fee waiver arrangement that reduce the Fund's expenses at all asset levels which can have an effect similar to breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if the Fund's assets decline. The Board considered that breakpoints in a Sub-Adviser's fee schedule would inure to the benefit of Management, and evaluated that fact in light of Management's profitability on the Fund, a subject on which the Board receives quarterly reports. The Board also considered that Management has provided, at no added cost to the Fund, certain additional services, including but not limited to, services required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, services impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape, and/or services requested by the Board. The Board considered that this is a way of sharing economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.

Conclusions
In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable to the Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and each Sub-Adviser could be expected to continue to provide a high level of service to the Fund; that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory over time, or, in the case of underperformance by a Sub-Adviser, that the Board retained confidence in Management's and each Sub-Adviser's capabilities to manage the Fund; that the Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent, and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to the Fund. The Board's conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreements in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual review of the Agreements.

Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for Neuberger Berman Alternative and Multi-Asset Class Funds.
The lengthy U.S. economic expansion continued during the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2019, although the pace of growth decelerated. Supporting the economy was resilient consumer spending and a strong labor market. In terms of the latter, the unemployment rate fell to 3.6% in October 2019, close to its lowest reading in nearly 50 years. However, other areas of the U.S. economy showed signs of softening. For example, in August 2019, the manufacturing sector started to contract, the first such occurrence in three years. Meanwhile, growth overseas continued to weaken amid global trade conflicts. Against this backdrop, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) reversed course and, after raising interest rates four times in calendar year 2018, lowered rates in July, September and October 2019. Other central banks, including the European Central Bank, also took aggressive actions in an attempt to stimulate growth.
Despite periods of volatility, the global financial market generated strong results over the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. The market gyrated at times given slowing global growth, the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S. and China, uncertainties regarding Brexit and other geopolitical issues. However, these setbacks were generally short in nature and the market again rallied as investor risk appetite resumed. Supporting the market were the Fed's "dovish pivot" and hopes for progress on the trade front.
Elsewhere, the U.S. fixed income market rallied sharply over the period. Both short- and long-term Treasury yields declined given the Fed's accommodative monetary policy and concerns over global growth. Furthermore, at times investors were drawn to the relative safety of government bonds given the trade negotiations between the U.S. and China and geopolitical headwinds.
All told, the U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, gained 14.33% over the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. International developed and emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® and MSCI Emerging Market Indices, returned 11.04% and 11.86%, respectively, over the reporting period. Meanwhile, the overall U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 11.51% during the same period.
Looking ahead, we anticipate the U.S. economy to continue expanding, supported by a healthy job market, wage growth and tame inflation. That said, sentiment indicators in both the U.S. and around the world suggest economic and political uncertainties ahead as we leave 2019 and enter 2020.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.
Sincerely,
JOSEPH V. AMATO
PRESIDENT AND CEO

Commodity Strategy Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Commodity Strategy Fund Institutional Class generated a total return of –0.41% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2019, but outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Commodity Index (the Index), which posted a –2.58% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The overall commodity market generated mixed results over the reporting period. The energy complex was volatile given moderating global growth and concerns over the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S. and China. Agriculture and other softs commodities (i.e. coffee, cocoa, sugar, cotton) were other areas of weakness, as they were negatively impacted by challenging supply/demand dynamics. The softs sector was also hurt by weather and currency-related factors. On the upside, precious metals generated strong results over the period. This segment of the market was supported by several investor flights to safety amid the uncertain macro environment.
Looking at the commodity sectors in which the Fund invests, an underweight in natural gas was the largest contributor to performance relative to the Index—the Fund tends to maintain an underweight position in natural gas given its high volatility. This position was additive to overall performance, as natural gas prices declined over the period. An underweight to Brent Crude was also rewarded as it produced choppy returns. Elsewhere, the Fund's positioning in industrial metals was additive for results. In particular, an out-of-benchmark position in lead was beneficial, as was a slight underweight to aluminum. Finally, underweights to coffee and sugar in the softs sector contributed to performance given their price weaknesses. On the downside, an overweight to Kansas wheat was a headwind for results, as ample supply drove their prices lower.
The Fund seeks to gain exposure to the commodity markets by investing, directly or indirectly, in futures contracts on individual commodities and other commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Fund's tactical positioning detracted from performance during the reporting period.
As we look ahead to the end of 2019, we believe the fundamentals are still sound for commodities. In our view, the recommencement of the China-U.S. trade talks is a positive sign for global economic growth and has the potential to increase demand in commodities. We also anticipate seeing a boost in U.S. agriculture exports as a result of tariff exemptions from China. We believe the negotiations between the two countries are also likely to stall additional depreciation of the Chinese yuan, further promoting commodity prices. Overall, we maintain that the U.S. and China are both incentivized to come to a swift agreement on trade issues. We believe the business cycle will continue and major global economies will navigate a "soft landing," thereby avoiding a painful recessionary climate. That said, in a complex global economy, the one certainty is uncertainty. So in addition to executing tactical shifts to take advantage of short-term market dislocations, the Fund invests in a broad range of individual commodities to benefit from the low correlation and natural hedging characteristics among them. We believe investing in a pure commodity portfolio with an emphasis on robust diversification and risk management, coupled with short-term insights, is the most prudent way to navigate uncertain environments in the asset class.
Sincerely,
HAKAN KAYA, THOMAS SONTAG AND DAVID YI WAN

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.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2018 were 0.98%,1.35% and 2.34% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.74%, 1.10% and 1.85% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers.

Global Allocation Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund Institutional Class generated a 10.13% total return for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2019, underperforming its benchmark, a blend consisting of 60% MSCI All Country World Index (Net) and 40% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index (collectively, the Index),which provided an 11.70% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite a bout of extreme volatility at the end of 2018, markets strongly rebounded in 2019 and ended up posting strong gains over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. The sell-off in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2018 stemmed from two structural shifts unfolding: a transition from quantitative easing to quantitative tightening, and from a globally synchronous to a multi-cycle growth dynamic. With this backdrop, investors struggled to navigate such transitions across various asset classes. Shifting into the new year, dovish U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) commentary and the prospect of improving trade relations between China and the U.S. supported markets. Over the following months, most asset classes continued to strengthen despite evidence of slowing global growth, renewed trade war risks and numerous geopolitical concerns, which at times, led to a volatile environment.
For the reporting period, the Fund's allocations within global equities added value and contributed to its performance against the Index. In particular, stock selection within U.S. small cap, non-U.S. developed and emerging market equities drove relative gains. Fixed income allocations added value but lagged the fixed income portion of the Index, primarily due to the Fund's duration underweight versus the fixed income portion of the Index. To a lesser degree, security selection in agency mortgage-backed securities and an allocation to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities also weighed on results. High yield and emerging market debt were positive contributors to relative returns versus the Index, but bank loans and short duration strategies underperformed the broader fixed income benchmark. The opportunistic strategies detracted due to the challenged performance of the absolute return diversified currency strategy and to a lesser extent, broad based commodities.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, swap and option contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
The calendar fourth quarter of 2019 began with two opposing trends in action. While U.S. economic data appeared to be stabilizing, the rest of the world was struggling with a worsening manufacturing slowdown. Concerns have been growing for global growth and political and geopolitical risks have been rising. At the same time, in September we began to see the sell-off in Treasuries and a rotation into riskier, smaller value and cyclical stocks. As the markets exhibit two-tier performance and the global economy edges back toward two-tier growth, we have implemented a two-tier strategy. We have adopted a cautious profile in our asset class and regional views to reflect growth and valuation concerns, and we have favored cash and hedged strategies to take advantage of volatility as it arises. We have also adopted more confident views on economically sensitive, cyclical exposures within preferred markets, given our belief that their valuations are more attractive and their recent strong performance.
Within fixed income broadly, we have shifted to a focus on higher quality U.S.-centric credit. We do not believe that growth, unemployment or inflation trends merit either a surprise 50 basis-point Fed funds rate cut in the near-term or a reduction of the rate towards 0% in the longer term. Nonetheless, the Fed may feel pressure to ease further or more quickly in order to stay in line with easing from the European Central Bank and other central banks. Given this view, and low-to-negative government bond yields, we see carry as attractive at this stage in the cycle. In particular, we think that higher-quality, BB rated high yield securities are likely to maintain their strong performance, and that floating rate assets are attractively valued, having been shunned by investors bracing for rate cuts.
5
Global Allocation Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
We continue to believe that a flexible, multi-dimensional approach to a diversified portfolio is prudent. We believe our multi-asset class solution offers a global go-anywhere strategy, complemented with sources of return that have historically been uncorrelated and a risk framework at both the security and portfolio level, in addition to independent firm oversight.

Long Short Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund Institutional Class generated a 6.98% total return for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, outperforming its primary benchmark, the HFRX Equity Hedge Index (the Index), which returned 3.18% for the same period. However, the Fund underperformed the S&P 500® Index, which provided a 14.33% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite periods of volatility, the U.S. stock market generated strong results during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. The market experienced several setbacks, often driven by signs of moderating global growth and the ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and China. Additionally, early in the period there were concerns over U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hikes. However, these downturns were offset by a "dovish pivot" by the Fed and three rate cuts from July through October 2019, a resilient U.S. economy and hopes for progress on the trade front. Furthermore, corporate profits generally exceeded lowered expectations.
We maintained our constructive, albeit highly selective outlook during the reporting period. This was reflected in the Fund's net long exposure during the period.
We categorize our long investment exposure into three groups: Capital Growth, Total Return and Opportunistic. Capital Growth continues to represent our largest allocation followed by Total Return and Opportunistic. We continued to identify compelling opportunities in Capital Growth relative to Opportunistic, as the change catalyst becomes more difficult to execute at this stage of the market cycle. The Fund's short exposure includes both single name "Fundamental" shorts and "Market" shorts. During the period, equity long exposure decreased against the backdrop of heightened market volatility and greater sector dispersion as fundamentals came back into focus while overall total shorts increased. Market shorts that consist primarily of sector and market cap-specific indices to help manage broader portfolio exposures increased during the period.
Equity long exposure added to Fund performance, while Fundamental shorts detracted from performance during the period given the overall positive move in markets. The Fund's aggregate use of futures, swap and options contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
Despite the market's gyrations—due to uncertainty over trade policies, future path of interest rates and global growth concerns—we believe the economic backdrop in the U.S. remains positive despite a modest deceleration in the second half of 2019. In our view, overall U.S. macroeconomic data, while decelerating, has remained supportive of growth. Meanwhile, recent fiscal policy, ongoing deregulation and lower corporate tax rates may have raised growth rates above trend levels. In our view, the next phase of growth is likely to be dictated by how effectively corporate management teams allocate these newfound cash flows—creating opportunities both long and short as the impact of these decisions emerges.
Nevertheless, we are very mindful of the complex world in which we live and invest. We remain mindful that our constructive view on risk assets is not without challenges. Despite positive U.S. and economic data, we believe China and the Eurozone economies remain fragile. Additionally, we believe the current Fed policy presents the potential for spikes in volatility. Given the vicissitudes of an increasingly global economy, we will continue to remain flexible in our decisions and open-minded to new ideas across different sectors, asset classes and geographies.
Sincerely,
CHARLES KANTOR AND MARC REGENBAUM

Multi-Asset Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 7.54% total return for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2019, underperforming its benchmark, a blend consisting of 60% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 40% S&P 500® Index (collectively, the Index), which provided a 13.07% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite a bout of extreme volatility at the end of 2018, markets strongly rebounded in 2019 and ended up posting strong gains over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. The sell-off in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2018 stemmed from two structural shifts unfolding: a transition from quantitative easing to quantitative tightening, and from a globally synchronous to a multi-cycle growth dynamic. With this backdrop, investors struggled to navigate such transitions across various asset classes. Shifting into the new year, dovish U. S. Federal Reserve (Fed) commentary and the prospect of improving trade relations between China and the U.S. supported markets. Over the following months, most asset classes continued to strengthen despite evidence of slowing global growth, renewed trade war risks and numerous geopolitical concerns which at times led to a volatile environment.
For the reporting period, the Fund's fixed income allocations added value but lagged the fixed income portion of the Index, primarily due to the Fund's duration underweight versus the fixed income portion of the Index. To a lesser degree, security selection in agency mortgage-backed securities and an allocation to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities also weighed on results. High yield and emerging market debt were positive contributors to relative returns versus the Index, but bank loans and short duration strategies underperformed the broader fixed income benchmark. Out-of-benchmark exposure to non-U.S. equities contributed to underperformance versus the Index, as the U.S. market displayed the strongest regional returns over the 12-month reporting period. Gains from the allocation to REITs (real estate investment trusts) and emerging market equities were offset by losses from exposure to master limited partnerships. The opportunistic strategies detracted due to the challenged performance of the absolute return diversified currency strategy, and the systematic tactical asset allocation strategy.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, swap and option contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
The calendar fourth quarter of 2019 began with two opposing trends in action. While U.S. economic data appeared to be stabilizing, the rest of the world was struggling with a worsening manufacturing slowdown. Concerns have been growing for global growth and political and geopolitical risks have been rising. At the same time, in September we began to see the sell-off in Treasuries and a rotation into riskier, smaller, value and cyclical stocks. As the markets exhibit two-tier performance and the global economy edges back toward two-tier growth, we have implemented a two-tier strategy. We have adopted a cautious profile in our asset class and regional views to reflect growth and valuation concerns, and we have favored cash and hedged strategies to take advantage of volatility as it arises. We have also adopted more confident views on economically sensitive, cyclical exposures within preferred markets, given our belief that their valuations are more attractive and their recent strong performance.
Within fixed income broadly, we have shifted to a focus on higher quality U.S.-centric credit. We do not believe that growth, unemployment or inflation trends merit either a surprise 50 basis-point Fed funds rate cut in the near-term or a reduction of the rate towards 0% in the longer term. Nonetheless, the Fed may feel pressure to ease further or more quickly in order to stay in line with easing from the European Central Bank and other central banks. Given this view, and low-to-negative government bond yields, we see carry as attractive at this stage in the cycle. In particular, we think that higher-quality, BB rated high yield securities are likely to maintain their strong performance, and that floating rate assets are attractively valued, having been shunned by investors bracing for rate cuts.
12
We continue to believe that a multi-dimensional approach to yield is prudent. We believe our multi-asset class approach offers diversified income sources, complemented with sources of return that have historically been uncorrelated and a risk framework that seeks to mitigate volatility and deliver an attractive return and income profile.

ERIK KNUTZEN, BRADLEY TANK AND AJAY JAIN

Multi-Style Premia Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Multi-Style Premia Fund Institutional Class generated a 3.99% total return for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2019, outperforming its benchmark, the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the Index), which provided a 2.40% total return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite periods of volatility, the U.S. stock market generated strong results during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. The market experienced several setbacks, often driven by signs of moderating global growth and the ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and China. Additionally, early in the period there were concerns over U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hikes. However, these downturns were offset by a "dovish pivot" by the Fed and three rate cuts from July through October 2019, a resilient U.S. economy and hopes for progress on the trade front. Furthermore, corporate profits generally exceeded lowered expectations. All told, the S&P 500® Index gained 14.33% for the reporting period. The overall fixed income market also rallied over the reporting period. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved sharply lower as the Fed re-introduced accommodative monetary policy. Against this backdrop, a number of central banks outside the U.S., including the European Central Bank, also introduced accommodative monetary policies, and government yields outside the U.S. also moved lower.
The largest contributor to the Fund's performance during the period was its equity positions. In particular, having long exposures to lower risk and momentum equities was rewarded as they rallied. The Fund's rates positioning was also beneficial. This was driven by long positions in German bunds, French and Italian government bonds, as their rates declined and prices rose over the reporting period. Elsewhere, currency positioning was modestly additive to performance. The Fund maintained its strategic exposure to the carry factor through long positions in higher-yielding emerging market currencies, such as the Turkish lira, Indian rupee and Indonesian rupiah. On the downside, commodities were the largest detractor from returns. The Fund's long energy position was not rewarded given choppy performance in this space. In addition, a number of idiosyncratic events negatively impacted the Fund's results, including a long position in wheat, which experienced falling prices due to oversupply. The trend factor was also a headwind for performance due to the medium term positioning of the Fund's signals, which was not rewarded. These included directional trades on a variety of indices, in which the Fund can take net long or short positions on broad markets, such as the S&P 500 or on 10-year U.S. Treasuries.
A number of derivative instruments are used to more efficiently manage the portfolio. The Fund utilizes futures, forwards, and equity swaps, among others. The Fund's aggregate use of futures (including options on futures), forward foreign currency, swap and option contracts contributed positively to performance during the reporting period.
We believe a resurgence in the benefits of factor diversification has the Fund positioned well for ongoing volatility. Meanwhile, further interest rate cuts, should they occur, may prop up markets while valuations could keep risk assets in check until we experience a meaningful catalyst, one way or the other. We continue to firmly believe that the best approach to seek persistent positive returns is through an integrated, risk-managed, multi-factor approach.
Sincerely,
RAY CARROLL, SIMON GRIFFITHS, FRANK MAEBA AND GIDEON SCHAPIRO

U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund Institutional Class generated a total return of 7.99% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2019, outperforming its benchmark, a blend of 42.5%CBOE S&P 500 One-Week PutWrite Index/42.5% CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Index (PUT)/7.5% CBOE Russell 2000 One-Week PutWrite Index/7.5% CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Index (PUTR) (collectively, the Index), which provided a total return of 3.27% for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
On February 28, 2019, the Fund began comparing its performance to the Index, rather than its prior benchmark, a blend of 85% CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Index and 15% CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Index, because we believe the Index is a fairer representation of the Fund's investment universe. For the 8-month period from the benchmark change through October 31, 2019, the Fund's Institutional Class had a total return of 6.83%, outperforming the Index, which returned 5.05% during the same period. For the 12-month reporting period, the Fund's Institutional Class returned 7.99% versus a 4.32% total return for the prior benchmark.
The Fund's S&P 500 Index put writing strategy generated a return of approximately 8.9%, achieving a materially better result than the 4.52% return of the PUT but lacking the full equity exposure to keep pace with the S&P 500® Index's 14.33%. The Fund's Russell 2000 Index put writing strategy posted a gain of approximately 5.4%, notably outperforming the 3.17% return of the PUTR and modestly exceeding the Russell 2000® Index's 4.90% return.
Over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, the CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) level fell –8.0 points and averaged 16.9 for the full reporting period. Realized volatility on the S&P 500 Index was 16.4, generating a positive average implied volatility premium of approximately 0.5. Meanwhile, the CBOE Russell 2000 Volatility Index (RVX) level fell –9.4 points and averaged 20.2 for the full reporting period. Realized volatility on the Russell 2000 Index was 21.6, generating a positive average implied volatility premium of 1.4. Implied volatility levels give a rough estimate of the premiums that the strategy can collect, similar to yields in the bond space.
The Fund's collateral holdings gained roughly 3.7% over the last twelve months as 2-Year US Treasury Yields declined 135 basis points. Despite the positive gains, collateral returns fell short of the ICE BofAML 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index (UST Index) return of 4.54%. Relative underperformance was largely due to the Fund's lower average duration exposure of approximately 1.3 years relative to the UST Index's average duration.
Relative to the twelve months ended October 2018, the last twelve months have been a more profitable year for option writing with positive implied volatility premiums across most periods. As a generalization, we consider the explicit cost of hedging option positions to be equivalent to the realized price volatility of the underlying security. If an underlying security or index experiences significant levels of volatility, it naturally follows that actively 'trading' the security to offset the risk of an option position will increase, i.e., the cost of controlling the volatility is greater. In the extreme case of an underlying price experiencing zero deviation (i.e. is constant) over the life of the option, then the cost of hedging the position would be zero, assuming no other costs of managing the underlying security exposure. Importantly, realized volatilities can vary based on different points of observation. As we might expect, measuring day-over-day volatility during market hours results in lower annualized volatility versus the standard 'end of day' methodologies. This suggests that the options strategies that have realized volatility as an 'expense' may be more efficient if rebalanced during the middle of the day. Avoiding the noise that can occur around the open and close also makes intuitive sense to us. Over the year, our process continued to rebalance option exposures during normal trading hours in an effort to reduce the implicit risk of this noise around the open and close of the market.
We believe that the growing challenge for quantitative investors is that markets are adapting to a new environment in which financial and economic data is now ubiquitously applied. Adding to the challenge is the continuous cataloging of information in the 'cloud'—the unofficial history of everything—or the infamous 'dark web' without any qualification of its quality or accuracy. Lying on a paper resume is one thing, lying on the internet is a completely different event. Coupled with interest rate volatility, lower earnings growth, an election year and global trade uncertainty, we believe the likelihood
19
for higher volatility levels is quite high which has historically improved the relative results of put writing versus long equity exposure.
Hence, we see the budding area of 'quantamental' investing or active systematic strategies as the re-emergence of human intelligence in investing as a sustainable trend. In our opinion, the edge will go to investors that are able to divine 'what managers/economic policy setters are going to do' or 'how investors are going to behave' or 'the valuation of hard to quantify strategic initiatives (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance or innovation)' rather than those that simply mine more data or retrain their artificial intelligence bots. An encyclopedia bestows knowledge that passes as intelligence until everyone has read it. After that, it's just last year's common knowledge and confers no advantage.

U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund (Unaudited)
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2018 were 0.75%, 1.12%, 1.89% and 0.65% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any, and after restatement for Class R6 shares). The expense ratios were 0.66%, 1.02%, 1.77% and 0.56% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers and/or restatement. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2019 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 5.75% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.
COMPARISON OF A $1,000,000 INVESTMENT
(000's omitted)
This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal years, or since the Fund's inception if it has not operated for 10 years. The graph is based on the Institutional Class shares only; the performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses (see Performance Highlights chart on previous page). The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may include a more narrowly based index. Market indices have not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results.

1 Please see "Glossary of Indices" on page 24 for a description of indices. Please note that individuals cannot invest directly in any index. The HFRX Equity Hedge Index does take into account fees and expenses, but not the tax consequences, of investing since it is based on the underlying hedge funds' net returns. The other indices described in this report do not take into account any fees, expenses or tax consequences of investing in the individual securities that they track. Data about the performance of an index are prepared or obtained by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC and reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The Fund may invest in securities not included in a described index and generally does not invest in all securities included in a described index.
2 The date used to calculate Life of Fund performance for the index is the inception date of the oldest share class.
3 During the period from August 2012 through January 2013, Neuberger Berman Commodity Strategy Fund was relatively small, which could have impacted Fund performance. During the period from December 2010 through April 2011, Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund had only one shareholder and the Fund was relatively small, which could have impacted Fund performance.. The same techniques used to produce returns in a small fund may not work to produce similar returns in a larger fund.
4 The investments for the Fund are managed by the same portfolio manager(s) who manage(s) one or more other registered funds that have names, investment objectives and investment styles that are similar to those of the Fund. You should be aware that the Fund is likely to differ from those other mutual fund(s) in size, cash flow pattern and tax matters. Accordingly, the holdings and performance of the Fund can be expected to vary from those of the other mutual fund(s).
5 The performance information for Class R6 prior to the class's inception date is that of the Institutional Class of Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund. The performance information for the Institutional Class has not been adjusted to take into account differences in class specific operating expenses. The Institutional Class has higher expenses and typically lower returns than Class R6.

HFRX Equity Hedge Index: | | The index comprises equity hedge strategies. Equity hedge strategies maintain positions both long and short in primarily equity and equity derivative securities. A wide variety of investment processes can be employed to arrive at an investment decision, including both quantitative and fundamental techniques; strategies can be broadly diversified or narrowly focused on specific sectors and can range broadly in terms of levels of net exposure, leverage employed, holding period, concentrations of market capitalizations and valuation ranges of typical portfolios. Equity hedge managers would typically maintain at least 50%, and may in some cases be substantially entirely invested, in equities, both long and short. Constituent funds are selected from an eligible pool of the more than 7,500 funds worldwide that report to the Hedge Fund Research (HFR) Database. Constituent funds must meet all of the following criteria: report monthly; report performance net of all fees; be U.S. dollar-denominated; be active and accepting new investments; have a minimum 24 months track record; and the fund's manager must have at least $50 million in assets under management.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses (Unaudited)
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (if applicable), and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in U.S. dollars) of investing in a Fund and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This table is designed to provide information regarding costs related to your investments. The following examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended October 31, 2019 and held for the entire period. The table illustrates the Fund's costs in two ways:
Actual Expenses and Performance: | | The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in dollars, based on the Fund's actual performance during the period indicated. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section of the table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. | |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: | | The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return at 5% per year before expenses. This return is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund versus other funds. To do so, compare the expenses shown in this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. | |
Please note that the expenses in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) (if applicable). Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(e) Represents the expected directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase in the corresponding input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
(f) Securities categorized as Level 3 are valued based on a single quotation obtained from a dealer. The Fund does not have access to unobservable inputs and therefore cannot disclose such inputs used in formulating such quotation.
(g) As of the year ended October 31, 2019, these investments were valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. These investments did not have a material impact on the Fund's net assets and, therefore, disclosure of unobservable inputs used in formulating valuations is not presented.

Notes to Financial Statements Alternative Funds
Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
1 General: Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Instrument dated March 27, 2014. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Each of Neuberger Berman Commodity Strategy Fund ("Commodity Strategy") (formerly, Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy Fund), Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund ("Global Allocation"), Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund ("Long Short"), Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund ("Multi-Asset Income"), Neuberger Berman Multi-Style Premia Fund ("Multi-Style Premia") and Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund ("U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy"), (each individually a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds") is a separate operating series of the Trust. Multi-Style Premia is non-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 (Commodity Strategy, Global Allocation and Long Short became diversified in August 2015, December 2013 and December 2014, respectively). Multi-Asset Income and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy are each diversified. Each Fund offers Institutional Class shares, Class A shares and Class C shares. Global Allocation, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Style Premia and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy also offer Class R6 shares. The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.
A balance indicated with a "—", reflects either a zero balance or a balance that rounds to less than 1.
The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other.
Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 "Financial Services—Investment Companies."
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management" or "NBIA") to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Commodity Strategy invests in commodity-related instruments through Neuberger Berman Cayman Commodity Fund I Ltd. (the "CS Subsidiary"), which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Subscription agreements were entered into between the Fund and the CS Subsidiary with the intent that Commodity Strategy will remain the sole shareholder of the CS Subsidiary. The CS Subsidiary is governed by its own Board of Directors.
As of October 31, 2019, the value of Commodity Strategy's investment in the CS Subsidiary was as follows:
Investment in CS Subsidiary | | Percentage of Net Assets | |
$ | 33,128,421 | | | | 19.7 | % | |
Multi-Style Premia invests in commodity-related instruments through Neuberger Berman Cayman MSP Fund I Ltd. (the "MSP Subsidiary"), which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Subscription agreements were entered into between the Fund and the MSP Subsidiary with the intent that Multi-Style Premia will remain the sole shareholder of the MSP Subsidiary. The MSP Subsidiary is governed by its own Board of Directors.
198
As of October 31, 2019, the value of Multi-Style Premia's investment in the MSP Subsidiary was as follows:
Investment in MSP Subsidiary | | Percentage of Net Assets | |
$ | 296,229 | | | | 1.9 | % | |
2 Consolidation: The accompanying financial statements of Commodity Strategy and Multi-Style Premia present the consolidated accounts of Commodity Strategy and the CS Subsidiary and Multi-Style Premia and the MSP Subsidiary, respectively. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
3 Portfolio valuation: In accordance with ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of the Funds are carried at the value that Management believes a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds' investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant Management judgment may be necessary to value investments in accordance with ASC 820.
ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)
• Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including a Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The value of the Funds' investments (long and short positions) in equity securities, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), preferred stocks, master limited partnerships and exchange-traded options purchased and written, 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 for long and short positions in debt securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid or offer quotations, respectively, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations based on security type (generally Level 2 inputs). In addition to the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions, the following is a description of other Level 2 inputs and related valuation techniques used by independent pricing services to value certain types of debt securities held by the Funds:
Corporate Bonds. Inputs used to value corporate debt securities generally include relative credit information, observed market movements, sector news, U.S. Treasury yield curve or relevant benchmark curve, and other market information, which may include benchmark yield curves, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, comparable securities, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available ("Other Market Information").
199
Convertible Bonds. Inputs used to value convertible bonds generally include underlying stock data, dealer quotes, conversion premiums, listed bond and preferred stock prices and other market information, which may include benchmark curves, trade execution data, and sensitivity analysis, when available.
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.
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.
Emerging Markets Debt, Sovereign Debt, and Quasi-Sovereign Debt. Inputs used to value emerging markets debt, sovereign debt and quasi-sovereign debt generally include dealer quotes, bond market activity, discounted cash flow models, and other relevant information such as credit spreads, benchmark curves and Other Market Information.
The value of loan assignments is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on broker quotes (generally Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available).
The value of futures is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services at the settlement price at the market close (Level 1 inputs).
The value of forward contracts is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on actual traded currency rates on independent pricing services' networks, along with other traded and quoted currency rates provided to the pricing services by leading market participants (Level 2 inputs).
The value of equity swaps, 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).
Option contracts that are traded over-the-counter are generally valued on the basis of quotations provided by broker-dealers or prices provided by independent pricing services who use a series of techniques including simulated pricing models and/or curve fitting (bootstrapping), which aids in determining the present value of the contracts. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, credit curves, volatility surfaces, and exchange rates (Level 2 inputs).
Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.
Investments in non-exchange traded investment companies are valued using the respective fund's daily calculated net asset value ("NAV") per share (Level 2 inputs).
If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, Management seeks to obtain quotations from brokers or dealers (generally considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Board has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, securities within the
200
same industry with recent highly correlated performance, trading in futures or American Depositary Receipts and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.
The value of the Funds' investments in foreign securities is generally determined using the same valuation methods and inputs as other Fund investments, as discussed above. Foreign security prices expressed in local currency values are normally translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on days the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business. The Board has approved the use of ICE Data Pricing and Reference Data LLC ("ICE") to assist in determining the fair value of foreign equity securities when changes in the value of a certain index suggest that the closing prices on the foreign exchanges may no longer represent the amount that a Fund could expect to receive for those securities or on days when foreign markets are closed and U.S. markets are open. In each of these events, ICE will provide adjusted prices for certain foreign equity securities using a statistical analysis of historical correlations of multiple factors (Level 2 inputs). The Board has also approved the use of 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 case of both foreign equity and 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.
4 Foreign currency translations: The accounting records of the Funds, CS Subsidiary and MSP Subsidiary 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.
5 Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon as a Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations. Included in net realized gain/(loss) on investments are proceeds from the settlement of class action litigation(s) in which certain of the Funds participated as a class member. The amounts of such proceeds for the year ended October 31, 2019, were $2,199, $198,771 and $100 for Global Allocation, Long Short and Multi-Asset Income, respectively.
6 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.
201
The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired. As of October 31, 2019, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.
The CS Subsidiary and the MSP Subsidiary are controlled foreign corporations under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. As a U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation, Commodity Strategy and Multi-Style Premia each will include in its taxable income its share of the CS Subsidiary's and the MSP Subsidiary's current earnings and profits (including net realized gains). Any deficit generated by the CS Subsidiary and the MSP Subsidiary will be disregarded for purposes of computing Commodity Strategy's and Multi-Style Premia's taxable income in the current period and also disregarded for all future periods.
At October 31, 2019, selected Fund information for all long security positions, short security positions and derivative instruments, if any, for U.S. federal income tax purposes was as follows:
| | Cost | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | |
Commodity Strategy | | $ | 164,025,823 | | | $ | 269,087 | | | $ | 4,822,051 | | | $ | (4,552,964 | ) | |
Global Allocation | | | 16,140,168 | | | | 1,037,285 | | | | 161,843 | | | | 875,442 | | |
Long Short | | | 1,756,490,771 | | | | 487,762,173 | | | | 94,985,697 | | | | 392,776,476 | | |

Multi-Style Premia | | | 12,029,615 | | | | 399,843 | | | | 276,763 | | | | 123,080 | | |
U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy | | | 283,926,085 | | | | 2,363,765 | | | | 2,349 | | | | 2,361,416 | | |
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund. The Funds may also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of their shares as a part of the dividends-paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Any permanent differences resulting from different book and tax treatment are reclassified at year-end and have no impact on net income, NAV or NAV per share of the Funds. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications primarily related to one or more of the following: net operating loss written-off, wholly owned subsidiary income and gain (loss), deemed distributions on shareholder redemptions, adjustments to the prior period accumulated balances and partnership non-deductible expenses. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:
| | Paid-in Capital | | Total Distributable Earnings/(Loss) | |
Commodity Strategy | | $ | (12,343,106 | ) | | $ | 12,343,106 | | |
Global Allocation | | | 95,466 | | | | (95,466 | ) | |
Long Short | | | 21,768,137 | | | | (21,768,137 | ) | |
Multi-Asset Income | | | (8,338 | ) | | | 8,338 | | |
Multi-Style Premia | | | (1,131,930 | ) | | | 1,131,930 | | |
U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy | | | 716,985 | | | | (716,985 | ) | |

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2019, and October 31, 2018, was as follows:
| | Distributions Paid From: | |
| | Taxable Income | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | Return of Capital | | Total | |
| | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2019 | | 2018 | |

(b) Period from June 19, 2018 (Commencement of Operations) to October 31, 2018.
As of October 31, 2019, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a U.S. federal income tax basis were as follows:
| | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Loss Carryforwards and Deferrals | | Other Temporary Differences | | Total | |
Commodity Strategy | | $ | 2,210,485 | | | $ | — | | | $ | (4,552,964 | ) | | $ | (27,202 | ) | | $ | 297,325 | | | $ | (2,072,356 | ) | |
Global Allocation | | | 231,067 | | | | 192,059 | | | | 876,011 | | | | — | | | �� | (27,179 | ) | | | 1,271,958 | | |
Long Short | | | — | | | | 53,086,662 | | | | 392,776,476 | | | | — | | | | (1,386,105 | ) | | | 444,477,033 | | |
Multi-Asset Income | | | — | | | | — | | | | 846,875 | | | | (296,455 | ) | | | (126,591 | ) | | | 423,829 | | |
Multi-Style Premia | | | 1,028,354 | | | | — | | | | 128,937 | | | | (262,123 | ) | | | (22,966 | ) | | | 872,202 | | |
U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy | | | 5,387,764 | | | | 5,850,166 | | | | 2,361,416 | | | | — | | | | (4,124 | ) | | | 13,595,222 | | |
The temporary differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: losses disallowed and recognized on wash sales, straddles and unsettled short sales, timing differences of fund level distributions, mark-to-market adjustments on swaps, futures, forwards and options, unamortized organization expenses, amortization of bond premium, tax adjustments related to real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), treasury inflation protection securities ("TIPS"), passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"), short sales, partnerships, swap contracts and other investments.
To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. Capital loss carryforward rules allow for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term. As determined at October 31, 2019, the Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:
| | Capital Loss Carryforwards | |
| | Long-Term | | Short-Term | |
Commodity Strategy | | $ | — | | | $ | 27,202 | | |
Multi-Asset Income | | | 92,530 | | | | 203,925 | | |
Multi-Style Premia | | | — | | | | 262,123 | | |
203
During the year ended October 31, 2019, U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy had utilized capital loss carryforwards of $1,430,111.
7 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. At October 31, 2019, there were no outstanding balances of accrued capital gains taxes for any Fund.
8 Distributions to shareholders: Each Fund may earn income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. Distributions from net investment income, if any, are recorded on the ex-date and generally distributed once a year (usually in December) for Commodity Strategy, Global Allocation, Long Short, Multi-Style Premia, monthly for Multi-Asset Income and quarterly for U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, generally are distributed once a year (usually in December) and are recorded on the ex-date.
For Funds that invest in REITs, these Funds pass through to their shareholders substantially all REIT distributions and other income they receive, less operating expenses. The distributions received from REITs are generally composed of income, capital gains, and/or return of REIT capital, but the REITs do not report this information to these Funds until the following calendar year. At October 31, 2019, these Funds estimated these amounts for the period January 1, 2019 to October 31, 2019 within the financial statements because the 2019 information is not available from the REITs until after each Fund's fiscal year-end. All estimates are based upon REIT information sources available to these Funds together with actual IRS Forms 1099-DIV received to date. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the character of distributions, if any, paid to shareholders of these Funds disclosed within the Statements of Changes in Net Assets is based on estimates made at that time. Based on past experience it is possible that a portion of these Funds' distributions during the current fiscal year, if any, will be considered tax return of capital, but the actual amount of the tax return of capital, if any, is not determinable until after each Fund's fiscal year-end. After calendar year-end, when these Funds learn the nature of the distributions paid by REITs during that year, distributions previously identified as income are often recharacterized as return of capital and/or capital gain. After all applicable REITs have informed these Funds of the actual breakdown of distributions paid to these Funds during their fiscal year, estimates previously recorded are adjusted on the books of these Funds to reflect actual results. As a result, the composition of these Funds' distributions as reported herein may differ from the final composition determined after calendar year-end and reported to these Funds shareholders on IRS Form 1099-DIV.
9 Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds within the complex of related investment companies. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributable to a particular series of the Trust (e.g., a Fund) are allocated among the series of the Trust, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the series can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributable to a particular investment company in the complex (e.g., the Trust) or series thereof are allocated among the investment companies in the complex or series thereof on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly. Each Fund's expenses (other than those specific to each class) are allocated proportionally each day among its classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
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
204
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 Dollar rolls: The Funds may enter into dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities. In a dollar roll transaction, a Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously agrees to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type and coupon) securities on a specified future date from the same party. During the period before this repurchase, a Fund forgoes principal and interest payments on the securities. A Fund is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the "drop"), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Dollar rolls may increase fluctuations in a Fund's NAV and may be viewed as a form of leverage. There is a risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses to a Fund.
12 Securities sold short: Each Fund may engage in short sales, which are sales of securities which have been borrowed from a third party on the expectation that the market price will decline. If the price of the securities decreases, a Fund will make a profit by purchasing the securities in the open market at a price lower than the one at which it sold the securities. If the price of the securities increases, a Fund may have to cover its short positions at a price higher than the short sale price, resulting in a loss. Gains are limited to the price at which a Fund sold the security short, while losses are potentially unlimited in size. The Funds pledge securities and/or other assets, which may include cash collateral from securities lending activities, to the lender as collateral. Proceeds received from short sales may be maintained by the lender as collateral or may be released to the Funds and used to purchase additional securities or for any other purpose. Proceeds maintained by the lender are included in the "Cash collateral segregated for short sales" on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds are required to segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities sold short (less any additional collateral pledged to the lender). The Funds are contractually responsible to remit to the lender any dividends and interest payable on securities while those securities are being borrowed by the Fund. The Funds may receive or pay the net of the interest charged by the prime broker on the borrowed securities and a financing charge for the difference in the market value of the short position and the cash collateral deposited with the broker. This income or fee is calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on the availability of the security. These costs related to short sales (i.e., dividend and interest remitted to the lender and interest charged by the prime broker) are recorded as an expense of the Funds and are excluded from the contractual expense limitation. A net negative expense, if any, represents a gain to the Fund as the total cash rebates received exceeded the other costs related to short sales. The net amount of fees incurred during the year ended October 31, 2019, are included in the "Dividend and interest expense on securities sold short" on the Statements of Operations and are as follows:
At October 31, 2019, Long Short had cash pledged in the amount of $452,448,865 to State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to cover collateral requirements for borrowing in connection with securities sold short.
13 Securities lending: Each Fund, using 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. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund listed below received income under the securities lending arrangement as follows:
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
205
a counterparty and a Fund until the close of the transaction. A Fund may only receive collateral in the form of cash (U.S. dollars). Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of State Street. The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities loaned and any interest earned or dividends paid or owed on those securities during the term of the loan would accrue to the Fund.
As of October 31, 2019, the Fund listed below had outstanding loans of securities to certain approved brokers each with a value as follows:
| | Value of Securities Loaned | |
Long Short | | $ | 40,119,055 | | |
As of October 31, 2019, the Fund listed below had outstanding loans of securities to certain approved brokers for which it received collateral as follows:
| | Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Agreements | |
| | Overnight and Continuous | | Less Than 30 Days | | Between 30 & 90 Days | | Greater Than 90 Days | | Total | |
Securities Lending Transactions(a) | | | | | | | | | | | |
Common Stocks | | | | | | | | | | | |
Long Short | | $ | 41,075,189 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 41,075,189 | | |
(a) Amounts represent the payable for loaned securities collateral received.
14 Derivative instruments: Certain Funds' use of derivatives during the year ended October 31, 2019, is described below. Please see the Schedule of Investments for each Fund's open positions in derivatives, if any, at October 31, 2019. The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The disclosure requirements of ASC 815 distinguish between derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and those that do not. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, even though a Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.
Futures contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Commodity Strategy used commodity futures contracts (through investments in the CS Subsidiary) to provide investment exposure to individual commodities, as well as to manage and/or adjust the risk profile of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Global Allocation used futures in an effort to enhance total return and to manage or adjust the risk profile and the investment exposure of the Fund to certain asset classes, countries and regions. In addition, Global Allocation also utilized futures to provide investment exposure to certain indices and markets other than the benchmark indices. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Long Short used futures on broader market indices and U.S. Treasuries in an effort either to enhance returns or to manage or adjust the risk profile and the investment exposure of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Multi-Asset Income used futures to enhance total return and to manage or adjust the risk profile and the investment exposure of the Fund to certain asset classes, countries and regions. In addition, Multi-Asset Income also utilized futures to provide investment exposure to certain indices and markets other than the benchmark indices. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Multi-Style Premia used futures (including through investments in commodity futures through the MSP Subsidiary) to enhance total return, to provide investment exposure to certain asset classes, indices and markets. Multi-Style Premia also used futures to adjust the risk profile of the Fund.
206
At the time a Fund, CS Subsidiary or MSP Subsidiary 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, CS Subsidiary or MSP Subsidiary as unrealized gains or losses.
Although some futures by their terms call for actual delivery or acquisition of the underlying securities or currency, in most cases the contracts are closed out prior to delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching futures. When the contracts are closed, a Fund, CS Subsidiary or MSP Subsidiary 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, CS Subsidiary or MSP Subsidiary because the exchange's clearinghouse assumes the position of the counterparty in each transaction. Thus, a Fund, CS Subsidiary or MSP Subsidiary 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, CS Subsidiary or MSP Subsidiary may cause the Fund, CS Subsidiary or MSP Subsidiary 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, CS Subsidiary or MSP Subsidiary. Also, a Fund's, CS Subsidiary's or MSP Subsidiary's losses on transactions involving futures contracts may be deferred rather than being taken into account currently in calculating such Fund's, CS Subsidiary's or MSP Subsidiary's taxable income.
Forward foreign currency contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Global Allocation used forward contracts to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, establish net short or long positions for currencies and alter the Fund's exposure to markets and currencies. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Multi-Asset Income used forward contracts to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, establish net short or long positions for currencies and alter the Fund's exposure to markets and currencies. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Multi-Style Premia used forward contracts to provide investment exposure to certain markets and to establish net short or net long positions in certain currencies. Multi-Style Premia also used futures to adjust the risk profile of the Fund.
A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific currency for another at a set price on a future date, and is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. The market value of a forward contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. At the consummation of a forward contract to purchase or sell currency, a Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of the forward contract or enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward contract. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing a contract is included in "Net realized gain/(loss) on settlement of forward foreign currency contracts" in the Statements of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in a Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and the risk the counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligation.
207
Equity swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Multi-Style Premia used equity swaps to increase returns, reduce risks and to replace more traditional direct investments. Equity swaps are two-party contracts in which counterparties exchange the return on a specified reference security for the return based on a fixed or floating interest rate during the period of the swap. Upon entering an equity swap, a Fund may be required to pledge an amount of cash and/or other assets to the broker, which is equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequently, payments known as variation margins are made or received by a Fund periodically, depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Equity swaps are marked to market daily based on the value of the underlying reference entity and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Equity swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of a Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") agreement between a Fund and the counterparty. If the other party to an equity swap defaults, a Fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. Equity swaps are derivatives and their value can be very volatile. To the extent that future market trends, the values of assets or economic factors are not accurately analyzed and predicted, a Fund may suffer a loss, which may exceed the related amounts shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations.
Total return basket swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2019, Global Allocation used total return basket swaps to enhance total return and obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Long Short used total return basket swaps to increase returns, reduce risks and for hedging purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Multi-Asset Income used total return basket swaps to enhance total return and obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets. 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 Funds have 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 Funds and the swap counterparty. Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Funds and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of an ISDA agreement between the Funds 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 year ended October 31, 2019, Global Allocation used total return swaps to enhance total return and obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Long Short used total return swaps to increase returns, reduce risks and for hedging purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2019, Multi-Asset Income used total return swaps to enhance total return and obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets. 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. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments/(receipts), if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) and net
208
interest received or paid on swap contracts to determine the fair value of swaps, 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.

Premiums paid by a Fund upon purchasing a call or put option are recorded in the asset section of the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, a Fund realizes a gain or loss and the asset is eliminated. For purchased call options, a Fund's loss is limited to the amount of the option premium paid.
Premiums received by a Fund upon writing a call option or a put option are recorded in the liability section of the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, a Fund realizes a gain or loss and the liability is eliminated.
When a fund writes a call option on an underlying asset it does not own, its exposure on such an option is theoretically unlimited. When writing a covered call option, a Fund, in return for the premium, gives up the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the underlying security above the exercise price, but conversely retains the risk of loss should the price of the security decline. When writing a put option, a Fund, in return for the premium, takes the risk that it must purchase the underlying security at a price that may be higher than the current market price of the security. If a call or put option that a Fund has written expires unexercised, a Fund will realize a gain for the amount of the premium. All securities covering outstanding written options are held in escrow by the custodian bank.
A Fund may write or purchase options on exchange-traded futures contracts ("futures option") to hedge an existing position or future investment, for speculative purposes or to manage exposure to market movements. A futures option is an option contract in which the underlying instrument is a specific futures contract.

The Funds are required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowing transactions that are eligible for offset or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. Global Allocation, Long Short, Multi-Asset Income and Multi-Style Premia held investments in these securities at October 31, 2019. The Funds' derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type and security lending assets are reported gross in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present derivative and security 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 October 31, 2019.

15 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.
16 Transactions with other funds managed by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC: The Funds and NBIA have obtained an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that permits the Funds to invest in both affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including ETFs, in excess of the limits in Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, subject to the terms and conditions of such order ("Exemptive Order"). Through October 31, 2019, Global Allocation invested in Commodity Strategy, Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund, Neuberger Berman Genesis Fund, Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman International Select Fund, Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund, Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy (collectively the "Underlying Funds"). Through October 31, 2019, Multi-Asset Income invested in Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund, Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund and Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund (collectively the "Underlying Funds") (See Note F).
220
For the Funds' investments in the Underlying Funds, NBIA waived a portion of its management fee equal to the management fee it received from the Underlying Funds on those assets (the "Arrangement"). For the year ended October 31, 2019, management fees waived under this Arrangement are reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Investment management fees waived." For the year ended October 31, 2019, distributions from income and capital gains received from the Underlying Funds on Global Allocation's and Multi-Asset Income's investments is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Dividend income-affiliated issuers" and "Realized gain distributions from affiliated issuers". For the year ended October 31, 2019, management fees waived under this Arrangement and distributions from income and capital gains received from Global Allocation's and Multi-Asset Income's investments in the Underlying Funds were as follows:
| | Management Fees Waived | | Distributions from Income and Capital Gains | |
Global Allocation | | $ | 44,972 | | | $ | 282,332 | | |
Multi-Asset Income | | | 18,857 | | | | 198,537 | | |
17 Investment company securities and exchange-traded funds: The Funds may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, including ETFs, within the limitations prescribed by (a) the 1940 Act, (b) the Exemptive Order, 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.
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.

Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2019, the investment management fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of each Fund's average daily net assets(a), as follows:
| | Effective Rate | |
Commodity Strategy | | | 0.50 | % | |

Global Allocation | | | 0.28 | %(b) | |

(b) 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: 0.26% for each of Class A and Class C of each of Commodity Strategy, Global Allocation, Long Short, Multi-Style Premia and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy; 0.27% for each of Class A and Class C of Multi-Asset Income; 0.15% for Institutional Class; and 0.05% for Class R6 (0.08% prior to December 6, 2018), each as a percentage of its average daily net assets. Additionally, NBIA retains State Street as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. NBIA pays State Street a fee for all services received under the Sub-Administration Agreement.
NBIA has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Institutional Class, Class A, Class C 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. The expenses of the CS Subsidiary and the MSP Subsidiary are included in the total expenses used to calculate the reimbursement, which Commodity Strategy and Multi-Style Premia have agreed to share with the CS Subsidiary and the MSP Subsidiary, respectively. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the expenses of the CS Subsidiary and MSP Subsidiary amounted to $208,623 and $85,283, respectively.

its contractual expense limitation in place at the time the fees and expenses were waived or reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays NBIA, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which NBIA incurred the expense.
During the year ended October 31, 2019, there was no repayment to NBIA under these agreements.
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 for Class A and Class C shares, and bears the advertising and promotion expenses.
However, the Distributor receives fees from 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 classes a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of Class A's and 1.00% of 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 Multi-Asset Income) are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 5.75%. Class A shares of Multi-Asset Income are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.25%. Class A shares of each Fund are generally sold with no contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), except that a CDSC of 1.00% applies to certain redemptions made within 18 months following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge. Class C shares of each Fund are sold with no initial sales charge and a 1.00% CDSC if shares are sold within one year after purchase.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, 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:
| | Underwriter | | Broker-Dealer | |

(c) Period from May 18, 2018 (Commencement of Operations) to October 31, 2018.
Note E—Line of Credit:
At October 31, 2019, each Fund was a participant in a syndicated committed, unsecured $700,000,000 line of credit (the "Credit Facility"), to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. Series of other investment companies managed by NBIA also participate in this line of credit on substantially the same terms. Interest is charged on borrowings under this Credit Facility at the highest of (a) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.00% per annum, (b) a Eurodollar rate for a one-month period plus 1.00% per annum, and (c) an overnight bank funding rate plus 1.00% per annum. The Credit Facility has an annual commitment fee of 0.15% per annum of the available line of credit, which is paid quarterly. Each Fund that is a participant has agreed to pay its pro rata share of the annual commitment fee, based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the net assets of all participants at the time the fee is due, and interest charged on any borrowing made by such Fund and other costs incurred by such Fund. Because several mutual funds participate in the Credit Facility, there is no assurance that an individual Fund will have access to all or any part of the $700,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility at October 31, 2019. During the year ended October 31, 2019, no Fund utilized the Credit Facility.

In 2018, the Board approved a reverse stock split (the "Stock Split") of the issued and outstanding shares of certain classes of Long Short (the "Stock Split Fund"). The Stock Split occurred after the close of business on December 7, 2018. The Stock Split was carried out in accordance with a stock split ratio calculated to result in NAVs that better aligned the share class prices of the Stock Split Fund.
Fund Class | | Stock Split Ratio (Old to New) | |
Long Short Class A | | | 1 | : 0.9792 | |
Long Short Class C | | | 1 | : 0.9328 | |
Note H—Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, "Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities" ("ASU 2017-08"). ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period to the earliest call date for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this guidance.
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement") ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will require the disclosure of the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and the changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will also require that information is provided about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and allows for early adoption of either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the disclosure requirements. Management has elected to adopt early the provisions that eliminate the disclosure requirements. Management is still currently evaluating the impact of applying the rest of the guidance.

@ Calculated based on the average number of shares outstanding during each fiscal period.
# 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/or if Long Short had not received refunds, plus interest, from State Street noted in (g) below for custodian out-of-pocket expenses previously paid during the year ended October 31, 2017.
** Annualized.
^ The date investment operations commenced.
* Not annualized.
‡ Organization expense, which is a non-recurring expense, is included in these ratios on a non-annualized basis.
Ø Commodity Strategy, Multi-Asset Income, Multi-Style Premia and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy did not engage in short sales. For the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, Global Allocation did not engage in short sales.
^^ Portfolio turnover is calculated at the Fund level. Percentage indicated was calculated for the year ended October 31, 2019 for Global Allocation.
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 Consolidated financial highlights, see Note A in the Notes to Financial Statements.
c Excluding mortgage dollar roll transactions. Had mortgage dollar roll transactions been included, the portfolio turnover rate would have been:

g In May 2016, the Fund's custodian, State Street, announced that it had identified inconsistencies in the way in which Long Short was invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed "out-of-pocket" costs, from the Fund's inception through November 2015, and refunded to the Fund certain expenses, plus interest, determined to be payable to the Fund for the period in question. These amounts were refunded to the Fund by State Street during the year ended October 31, 2017. These amounts had no impact on Long Short's total returns for the year ended October 31, 2017.
h The custodian expenses refund noted in (g) above is non-recurring and is included in these ratios. Had Long Short not received the refund, the annualized ratio of net expenses to average net assets, the annualized ratio of net expenses to average net assets (excluding dividend and interest expense relating to short sales and reverse repurchase agreements) and the annualized ratio of net investment income/(loss) to average net assets would have been:
| | Ratio of Net Expenses to Average Net Assets | | Ratio of Net Expenses to Average Net Assets (excluding dividend and interest expense relating to short sales and reverse repurchase agreements | | Ratio of Net Investment Income/ (Loss) to Average Net Assets | |

Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements and financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds' consolidated financial statements and financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Neuberger Berman investment companies since 1954.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the Fund's auditor since 2012
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, agent banks and transfer agent; when replies were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Consideration of the Management Agreement
On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds (the "Trust"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or of Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreement with Management (the "Agreement") with respect to each series except Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund (each a "Fund"). Throughout the process, the Independent Fund Trustees are advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management ("Independent Counsel"). At a meeting held on September 12, 2019, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreements for each Fund.
In evaluating the Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed extensive materials provided by Management in response to questions submitted by the Independent Fund Trustees and Independent Counsel, and met with senior representatives of Management regarding its personnel, operations, and financial condition as they relate to the Funds. The annual contract review extends over at least two regular meetings of the Board to ensure that Management has time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Trustees may have on their initial review of the materials and that the Independent Fund Trustees have time to consider those responses.
In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered the broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year, including reports on investment performance, portfolio risk, and other portfolio information for each Fund, including the use of derivatives if used as part of the Fund's strategy, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; quality and cost of portfolio trade execution; compliance; and shareholder and other services provided by Management and its affiliates. The Contract Review Committee, which is comprised of Independent Fund Trustees, was established by the Board to assist in its deliberations regarding the annual contract review. The Board has also established other committees that focus throughout the year on specific areas relevant to the annual contract review, such as Fund performance or compliance matters, and that are charged with specific responsibilities regarding the annual contract review. Those committees provide reports to the Contract Review Committee and the full Board, which consider that information as part of the annual contract review process. The Board's Contract Review Committee annually considers and updates the questions it asks of Management in light of legal advice furnished to them by Independent Counsel; their own business judgment; and developments in the industry, in the markets, in mutual fund regulation and litigation, and in Management's business model.
The Independent Fund Trustees received from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreement. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Contract Review Committee and the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management.
Provided below is a description of the Board's contract approval process and material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding renewals of the Agreement and the compensation to be paid thereunder. In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreement, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreement, the overall fairness of the Agreement to each Fund, and whether the Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and Fund shareholders. The Board's determination to approve the continuation of the Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically in connection with the annual contract review. The Board considered each Fund's investment management agreement separately from those of the other Funds.
This description is not intended to include all of the factors considered by the Board. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the costs and benefits of the Agreement to each Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.
260
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services
With respect to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of, and the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management who perform services for the Funds. The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance services. The Board also considered Management's policies and practices regarding brokerage, commissions, other trading costs, and allocation of portfolio transactions and reviewed the quality of the execution services that Management had provided. Moreover, the Board considered Management's approach to potential conflicts of interest both generally and between the Funds' investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by Management. The Board also noted that Management had increased its research capabilities with respect to environmental, social, and corporate governance matters and how those factors may relate to investment performance.
The Board noted the extensive range of services that Management provides to the Funds beyond the investment management services. The Board noted that Management is also responsible for monitoring compliance with the Fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions, as well as compliance with applicable law, including implementing rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board considered that Management assumes significant ongoing risks with respect to all Funds, for which it is entitled to reasonable compensation. Specifically, Management's responsibilities include continual management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory, and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and the Board considers on a regular basis information regarding Management's processes for monitoring and managing risk. In addition, the Board also noted that when Management launches a new fund or share class, it assumes entrepreneurial risk with respect to that fund or share class, and that some funds and share classes have been liquidated without ever having been profitable to Management.
The Board also noted Management's activities under its contractual obligation to oversee the Funds' various outside service providers, including its renegotiation of certain service providers' fees and its evaluation of service providers' infrastructure, cybersecurity programs, compliance programs, and business continuity programs, among other matters. The Board also considered Management's ongoing development of its own infrastructure and information technology to support the Funds through, among other things, cybersecurity, business continuity planning, and risk management. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management , as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to Management. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio managers' compensation and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds. The Board also considered the ability of Management to attract and retain qualified personnel to service the Funds.
As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it. In addition, the Board considered actions taken by Management in this context.
Fund Performance
The Board requested a report from an outside consulting firm that specializes in the analysis of fund industry data that compared each Fund's performance, along with its fees and other expenses, to a group of industry peers and a broader universe of funds pursuing generally similar strategies with the same investment classification and/or objective. The Board considered each Fund's performance and fees in light of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing such comparative groups and determining which investment companies should be included in the comparative groups.
With respect to investment performance, the Board considered information regarding each Fund's short-, intermediate- and long-term performance, as applicable, net of the Fund's fees and expenses, on an absolute basis, relative to a benchmark index that does not deduct the fees or expenses of investing, and compared to the performance of the industry peer group and a broader universe of funds, each constructed by the consulting firm. The Board also reviewed performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers.
261
In the case of underperformance for any periods, the Board considered the magnitude and duration of that underperformance relative to the broader universe and/or the benchmark (e.g., the amount by which a Fund underperformed, including, for example, whether the Fund slightly underperformed or significantly underperformed its benchmark). For those Funds that the Board identified as having underperformed their benchmark indices, industry peer groups, and/or a broader universe of funds to an extent, or over a period of time, that the Board felt warranted additional inquiry, the Board discussed with Management each such Fund's performance, potential reasons for the relative performance, and, if necessary, steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance. The Board also met with the portfolio managers of certain Funds during the 12 months prior to voting on the contract renewal to discuss the Funds' performance. The Board also considered Management's responsiveness with respect to the relative performance. In this regard, the Board noted that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of the Agreement and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreement notwithstanding a Fund's relative performance.
Fee Rates, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreement, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreement as compared to the peer group provided by the consulting firm. The Board reviewed a comparison of each Fund's management fee to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in each Fund's management fee, the separate administrative fees paid to Management. However, the Board noted that some funds in the peer group pay directly from fund assets for certain services that Management covers out of the administration fees for the Funds. Accordingly, the Board also considered each Fund's total expense ratio as compared with its peer group as a way of taking account of these differences.
The Board compared each Fund's contractual and actual management fees to the median of the contractual and actual management fees, respectively, of that Fund's peer group. (The actual management fees are the contractual management fees reduced by any fee waivers or other adjustments.) The Board also compared each Fund's total expenses to the median of the total expenses of that Fund's peer group. Where a Fund's management fee or total expenses were higher than the peer group median, the Board considered whether specific portfolio management, administration or oversight needs contributed to the Fund's management fee or total expenses. The Board also noted that for some classes of certain Funds, the overall expense ratio is maintained through a contractual or voluntary fee cap and/or expense reimbursements by Management.
In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to that Fund, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management's estimated profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses, including year-over-year changes in each of Management's reported expense categories. (The Board also reviewed data on Management's estimated profit or loss on each Fund after distribution expenses and taxes were factored in, as indicators of the health of the business and the extent to which Management is directing its profits into the growth of the business.) The Board considered the cost allocation methodology that Management used in developing its estimated profitability figures. In recent years, the Board engaged an independent forensic accountant to review the profitability methodology utilized by Management when preparing this information and discussed with the consultant its conclusion that Management's process for calculating and reporting its estimated profit or loss was not unreasonable.
Recognizing that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose and that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to different profit and loss results, the Board, in recent years, requested from Management examples of profitability calculated by different methods and noted that the estimated profitability levels were still reasonable when calculated by these other methods. The Board further noted Management's representation that its estimate of profitability is derived using methodology that is consistent with the methodology used to assess and/or report measures of profitability elsewhere at the firm. In addition, the Board recognized that Management's calculations regarding its costs may not reflect all risks, including regulatory, legal, operational, reputational, and, where appropriate, entrepreneurial risks, associated with offering and managing a mutual
262
fund in the current regulatory and market environment. The Board also considered any fall-out (i.e., indirect) benefits likely to accrue to Management or its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund, such as research it may receive from broker-dealers executing the Funds' portfolio transactions on an agency basis. The Board recognized that Management and its affiliates should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services they provide to each Fund and, based on its review, concluded that Management's reported level of estimated profitability, if any, on each Fund was reasonable.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board also considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with investment objectives, policies, and strategies that were similar to those of any of the Funds. In the cases where such funds or separate accounts exist, the Board compared the fees charged to the Fund to the fees charged to such comparable funds and/or separate accounts. The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to a Fund and such comparable funds and/or separate accounts, and determined that differences in fees and fee structures were consistent with the differences in the management and other services provided. The Board explored with Management its assertion that although, generally, the rates of fees paid by such accounts were lower than the fee rates paid by the corresponding Funds, the differences reflected Management's greater level of responsibilities and significantly broader scope of services regarding the Funds, the more extensive regulatory obligations and risks associated with managing the Funds, and other financial considerations with respect to creation and sponsorship of the Funds.
Economies of Scale
The Board also evaluated apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to each Fund. The Board considered whether each Fund's fee structure provides for a reduction of payments resulting from the use of breakpoints, the size of any breakpoints in each Fund's advisory fees, and whether any such breakpoints are set at appropriate asset levels. The Board also compared the breakpoint structure to that of the peer group. In addition, the Board considered the expense limitation and/or fee waiver arrangements that reduce many Funds' expenses at all asset levels which can have an effect similar to breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if a Fund's assets decline. In addition, for Funds that do not have breakpoints, the Board considered that setting competitive fee rates and pricing a Fund to scale before it has actually experienced an increase in assets are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered that Management has provided, at no added cost to the Funds, certain additional services, including but not limited to, services required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, services impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape, and/or services requested by the Board. The Board considered that this is a way of sharing economies of scale with the Funds and their shareholders.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
With regard to the investment performance of each Fund and the fees charged to each Fund, the Board considered the following information. The broader universes of funds referenced in this section are those identified by the consulting firm, as discussed above, and the risk/return ratios referenced are the Sharpe ratios provided by the consulting firm. With respect to performance quintile rankings for a Fund compared to its broader universe ("Performance Universe"), the first quintile represents the highest (best) performance and the fifth quintile represents the lowest performance. With respect to the quintile rankings for fees and total expenses (net of waivers or other adjustments, if any) for a Fund compared to its peer group ("Expense Group"), the first quintile represents the lowest fees and/or total expenses and the fifth quintile represents the highest fees and/or total expenses. Where a Fund has more than one class of shares outstanding, information for Institutional Class has been provided as identified below. The Board reviewed the expense structures of all the other classes of shares of the Funds, some of which have higher fees and expenses that reflect their separate distribution and servicing arrangements and the differing needs of different investors. As a proxy for the class expense
263
structure, the Board reviewed the expenses of each class for one Fund in the Trust in comparison to Expense Groups for those classes. The Board noted the effect of higher expenses on the performance of the other classes of shares.

264
Conclusions
In approving the continuation of the Agreement, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable to each Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreement is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management could be expected to continue to provide a high level of service to each Fund; that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory over time, or, in the case of an underperforming Fund, that the Board retained confidence in Management's capabilities to manage the Fund; that each Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent, and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund. The Board's conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreement in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual review of the Agreement.

(h) The Audit Committee of the Board considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee because the engagement did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant is compatible with maintaining E&Y’s and Tait Weller’s independence.
