XXXXX | Emerging Markets Equity Select Fund

Effective September 14, 2026, the Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Equity Fund changed name to Neuberger Emerging Markets Equity Select Fund. The fund's investment strategy changed from an actively managed emerging markets equity core/quality strategy to an actively managed emerging markets equity value strategy, implemented through a more concentrated portfolio. The revised investment approach focuses on attractively valued companies, including those that may be overlooked or underappreciated by the market, while maintaining the fund's long-term capital appreciation objective.

Key Risks

Market Risk: The risk of a change in the value of a position as a result of underlying market factors, including among other things, the overall performance of companies and the market perception of the global economy.

Liquidity Risk: The risk that the fund may be unable to sell an investment readily at its fair market value. In extreme market conditions this can affect the fund’s ability to meet redemption requests upon demand.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets are likely to bear higher risk due to a possible lack of adequate financial, legal, social, political and economic structures, protection and stability as well as uncertain tax positions which may lead to lower liquidity. The NAV of the fund may experience medium to high volatility due to lower liquidity and the availability of reliable information, as well as due to the fund's investment policies or portfolio management techniques.

Concentration Risk: The risk arising from a Fund's exposure being weighted towards a limited number of positions, sectors, issuers or asset types, such that adverse performance in any one of these could have a disproportionate impact on the overall value of the Fund, compared to a more diversified allocation.

Stock Connect Risk: The Shanghai/Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect are relatively new trading programmes, where many of the relevant regulations are untested and subject to change at any moment as well as not as active as exchanges in more developed markets which may affect the ability to sell your shares. Additional risks needs to be considered and you should refer to the 'investment risk' section of the prospectus for details.

Counterparty Risk: The risk that a counterparty will not fulfil its payment obligation for a trade, contract or other transaction, on the due date.

Operational Risk: The risk of direct or indirect loss resulting from inadequate or failed processes, people and systems including those relating to the safekeeping of assets or from external events.

Derivatives Risk: The Fund is permitted to use certain types of financial derivative instruments (including certain complex instruments). This may increase the Fund’s leverage significantly which may cause large variations in the value of your share. (Investors should note that the Fund may achieve its investment objective by investing principally in Financial Derivative Instruments (FDI)). Certain investment risks apply in relation to the use of FDI. The use of leverage can amplify both gains and losses, which may result in a significant or a total loss of the fund’s value in adverse market conditions.

Currency Risk: Investors who subscribe in a currency other than the base currency of the fund are exposed to currency risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates may affect the return on investment. Where past performance is shown it is based on the share class to which this webpage relates. If the currency of this share class is different from your local currency, then you should be aware that due to exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may increase or decrease if converted into your local currency.
