President's Letter
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund, Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund, Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund, Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund and Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy Fund. This report also includes the Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund, which launched on September 16, 2016.
While the global financial markets experienced several bouts of weakness, they posted positive returns overall for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. Investor sentiment fluctuated at times given mixed global economic data, questions regarding future central bank monetary policy and several geopolitical issues, including "Brexit." However, demand for risk asset was solid for the fiscal year as a whole as investors looked to generate incremental returns in a low interest rate environment.
All told, the U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, gained 4.51% over the 12 month period ended October 31, 2016. In contrast, international developed equities posted weak results, whereas emerging markets equities rallied sharply. Within fixed income, longer-term U.S. Treasury yields declined and the overall U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 4.37% during the period. Finally, inflation was generally well contained.
Looking ahead, the outcome of the U.S. election could significantly impact the market. Nevertheless, we anticipate seeing the U.S. economy expand at a relatively modest pace, still better than many other developed countries. We also anticipate an uptick in inflation expectations from today's excessively low levels. Against this backdrop, we believe the U.S. Federal Reserve will take a measured approach in terms of normalizing monetary policy. From an investment perspective, we maintain high conviction in our portfolio managers and believe their portfolios are well positioned for the current and coming environment.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.
Sincerely,
ROBERT CONTI
PRESIDENT AND CEO
NEUBERGER BERMAN MUTUAL FUNDS

Global Allocation Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund Institutional Class generated a 0.87% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and underperformed its custom benchmark, a blend consisting of 60% MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) (Net) and 40% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, which provided a 3.59% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Global equity markets generated mixed results during the reporting period. Emerging markets (EM) equities posted the strongest performance; U.S. stocks performed positively while non-U.S. developed markets equities were a bit challenged, ending the period slightly negative. The global equity markets, as represented by the MSCI ACWI (Net), returned 2.05% over the period. In fixed income markets, all regions generated positive returns. EM debt was the strongest performing sector, followed by high yield debt. The return of the broad fixed income market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, was 5.59% for the period. Over the past 12 months, the U.S. continued to be among the strongest developed economies but has been challenged by sluggish GDP growth and weak corporate earnings. While the Eurozone was positioned to benefit from ongoing monetary stimulus, consumer sentiment remained volatile amidst increasing political risks, and corporate profitability has room for further improvement. Similarly, Japan maintained an accommodative stance fueled by stimulus from the Bank of Japan, but we did not see significant improvements in consumer confidence as corporate profits continued to decline while the yen strengthened.
The underperformance for the reporting period was primarily driven by security selection decisions in developed markets equities. Our underweight to fixed income in favor of more opportunistic strategies also detracted from performance, as fixed income was the best-performing asset class for the period. Positive contributions came from security selection within EM debt and our U.S. long duration positioning.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency and option contracts contributed to performance during the reporting period.
Looking ahead, we maintain a cautious stance on the global economy given additional geopolitical risks, growth concerns, and changing central bank policies. In the U.S., recent economic data reflect a rebound in U.S. economic growth, as October's advance estimate of Q3 2006 GDP growth surprised on the upside; likewise, Q3 earnings appeared to us to bode well for a long-awaited recovery. However, given a new political administration, uncertainty is likely to persist as changing economic policies and anti-trade sentiment continue to unfold. Data outside of the U.S. has been showing some signs of improvement as purchasing manager composite indices for China, the Eurozone and Japan all rose in October, but we believe further stimulus is needed. Overall, we anticipate a highly uncertain global growth backdrop as the U.S. balances pro-growth GOP policies with anti-trade rhetoric, Europe and Japan remain challenged as monetary stimulus ebbs; and EM may experience headwinds from potentially reduced trade. Given this outlook, we anticipate additional volatility and remain constructive on developed market equities with a bias towards the U.S. Within fixed income, we currently prefer credit over developed market government securities. We are cautious on both EM equities and debt as investors attempt to interpret the crosscurrents between greater trade tariffs and fiscal policy's positive impact on the commodity complex.
Sincerely,
ERIK KNUTZEN, BRADLEY TANK, WAI LEE AND AJAY JAIN

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 performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.
The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2015 were 3.59%, 3.99% and 4.75% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The total annual operating expense ratios were 1.34%, 1.69% and 2.44% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2016 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.

Long Short Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund Institutional Class generated a –0.14% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and outperformed its primary benchmark, the HFRX Equity Hedge Index, which returned –2.57% for the same period. The Fund, however, underperformed the S&P 500® Index, which provided a 4.51% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite periods of weakness early and late in the reporting period, the U.S. stock market generated a positive return over the Fund's fiscal year as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Market volatility was elevated at times given mixed economic data, questions regarding the timing of future U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes and uncertainty surrounding geopolitical events.
We maintained our positive outlook on risk assets such as equities and high yield bonds during the reporting period. This was reflected in the Fund's net long exposure during the period. The Fund remained constructively positioned during the period for a continued economic recovery in the U.S., with the largest average sector weights in Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology.
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 Total Return, as we believe higher interest rates could negatively impact longer duration assets and cash flows. The portfolio's short exposure includes both single name "Fundamental" shorts and "Market" shorts. During the period, Fundamental short exposure increased against the backdrop of heightened market volatility and greater dispersion within sectors. As fundamentals came back into focus, Market shorts consisted primarily of sector and market cap-specific indices in an attempt to help manage broader portfolio exposures, which also increased during the period.
Equity and credit long exposure added to Fund performance, while Fundamental shorts and the Fund's aggregate use of futures, options and swap contracts detracted from performance during the period.
We believe the U.S. economy will continue to grow steadily, while a still highly accommodative Fed may create a longer than expected (albeit certainly slower than expected) U.S. business cycle. Should more robust growth eventually appear, we believe markets are much more prepared today for future interest rate hikes, especially for monetary tightening related to higher inflation. With modest but still positive earnings growth forecasted for the remainder of 2016, our outlook for S&P 500 earnings remains similarly subdued, primarily due to uncertainty surrounding global growth. However, in our opinion, potential tailwinds are on the horizon as investors shift their attention to company fundamentals for the third quarter corporate earnings season. All that said, we also believe that being selective in deploying capital is particularly important in today's environment. Nevertheless, we are very mindful of the complex world in which we live and invest. Given the vicissitudes of an increasingly global economy, we will also remain flexible in our decisions and open-minded to new ideas across different asset classes and geographies.
Sincerely,
CHARLES KANTOR

Long Short Credit Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund Institutional Class generated a –0.28% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and underperformed its primary benchmark, the HFRX Fixed Income - Credit Index, which returned 0.07% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the long only Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, which returned 4.37% and 10.16%, respectively, for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Notwithstanding the volatile and difficult start to the period, the credit markets performed well this year. Underpinning this performance has been the positive performance of sovereign bonds globally. This was buttressed by an unprecedented level of G3 Central Bank intervention. These measures to stabilize financial markets and foster growth globally have included large scale purchases of equities and sovereign and corporate bonds. By the end of October, global growth appeared to have stabilized. We believe the narrative from the central bankers has begun to subtly change. The adverse longer term effects of zero and negative rates on the banking and financial systems, and concerns about diminishing marginal returns from the policies at hand, have become a concern. The Federal Reserve appears to be committed to a rate increase at its final meeting in December. This subtle change in narrative and the prospect of U.S. rate hikes will, in our view, play an important role in determining the direction of credit asset returns over the next 12 months.
We have throughout the year run a balanced portfolio of longs and shorts and have not levered up the portfolios, nor have we grossed up the exposures. By sector, the largest contributors to performance were our positions in Technology, Media, and Telecommunications and Financials. The largest detractors were our short positions in Health Care and Gaming.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, swap and option contracts contributed to performance during the reporting period.
While we believe the upcoming period may be volatile, we are not bearish on credit assets but we are cautious. We think credit spreads are attractive for projected default rates and for growth prospects. Interest rate duration worries us. It is our intention to position for a volatile interest rate environment while attempting to benefit from the attractiveness of credit spreads.
Our portfolio comprises baskets of single name long and short positions based on fundamental analysis. We hope to be able to capture the idiosyncratic opportunities that we believe are mispriced. We believe this continues to be expressed through relative value trades, capital structure arbitrage trades and directional long and short positions.
The credit market has had a very good year directionally. We believe that the rally in rates, the search for yield and the intervention by central banks on an unprecedented historical scale has underpinned the move. The narrative has begun to change albeit ever so gently, and it's our opinion that to ignore this is a mistake. We believe that a portfolio of idiosyncratic longs and shorts, where duration risk is managed, may be able to capture some exciting opportunities.
Sincerely,
RICK DOWDLE AND NORMAN MILNER

Multi-Asset Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 6.09% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and outperformed its custom benchmark, a blend consisting of 60% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 40% S&P 500® Index, which provided a 4.54% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Global equity markets generated mixed results during the reporting period. Emerging markets (EM) equities posted the strongest performance. U.S. stocks performed positively while non-US developed markets equities were a bit challenged, ending the period slightly negative. The domestic equity market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, returned 4.51% over the period. In fixed income markets, all regions generated positive returns. EM debt was the strongest performing sector, followed by high yield debt. The return of the domestic fixed income market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was 4.37% for the period. Over the past 12 months, the U.S. continued to be among the strongest developed economies but has been challenged by sluggish GDP growth and weak corporate earnings. While the Eurozone was positioned to benefit from ongoing monetary stimulus, consumer sentiment remained volatile amidst increasing political risks, and corporate profitability has room for further improvement. Similarly, Japan maintained an accommodative stance fueled by stimulus from the Bank of Japan, but we did not see significant improvements in consumer confidence as corporate profits continued to decline while the yen strengthened.
During the reporting period, fixed income assets were the largest positive contributors to the Fund's performance. The underweight to the asset class as a whole was additive, as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate underperformed the S&P 500. However, diverse allocations to EM debt, high yield debt, and U.S. investment grade credit, all of which posted strong returns, significantly boosted performance, as did security selection decisions across high dividend U.S. equities and master limited partnerships (MLPs).
Looking ahead, we maintain a cautious stance on the global economy given additional geopolitical risks, growth concerns, and changing central bank policies. In the U.S., recent economic data reflect a rebound in U.S. economic growth, as October's advanced estimate of Q3 2016 GDP growth surprised on the upside; likewise, Q3 earnings appeared to us to bode well for a long-awaited recovery. However, given a new political administration, uncertainty is likely to persist as changing economic policies and anti-trade sentiment continue to unfold. Data outside of the U.S. has been showing some signs of improvement as purchasing manager composite indices for China, the Eurozone and Japan all rose in October, but we believe further stimulus is needed. Overall, we anticipate a highly uncertain global growth backdrop as the U.S. balances pro-growth GOP policies with anti-trade rhetoric. Europe and Japan remain challenged as monetary stimulus ebbs; and EM may experience headwinds from potentially reduced trade. Against that backdrop, we will continue to seek opportunities for yield enhancement across a diversified set of exposures.
Sincerely,
ERIK KNUTZEN, BRADLEY TANK, WAI LEE AND AJAY JAIN

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 performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.
The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
For the period ended October 31, 2016, the 30-day SEC yields were 3.39%, 2.84%, 2.18% and 3.46% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been –0.30%, –0.63%, –1.40% and –0.22% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. A negative 30-day SEC yield results when a fund's accrued expenses exceed its income for the relevant period. Please note, in such instances the 30-day SEC yield may not equal the Fund's actual rate of income earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, a per share distribution may still be paid to shareholders.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2015 were 3.50%, 4.39%, 5.13% and 3.47% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The total annual operating expense ratios were 0.69%, 1.06%, 1.81% and 0.62% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2016 can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.
Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1%, 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.

Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy Fund1 Institutional Class generated a total return of –3.39% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016 and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Commodity Index, which posted a –2.62% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Commodity markets remained overall volatile and posted a negative return during the reporting period. That being said, there were periods of strength, most notably in March, April, June and September. Despite the market's decline over the 12-months as a whole, in general, we saw some firming in the commodity complex. This was evident by a reduction of the negativity surrounding the overall commodity market that has been in place over the last five calendar years.
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.
Looking at the commodity sectors in which the Fund currently invests, soft commodities were the largest detractor from relative performance, followed by agriculture and livestock. On the upside, the Fund's positioning in the energy and industrial metals sectors was beneficial, whereas precious metals was largely flat over the reporting period. Within the soft commodities sector, an underweight to sugar was the largest headwind for results. This positioning was not rewarded as sugar prices rallied sharply. Elsewhere, out-of-benchmark allocations to gas oil and feeder cattle were headwinds for returns. In contrast, an underweight to crude oil was a positive for performance as it experienced a nearly 30% decline over the period. An underweight to natural gas positively contributed to results given the sector's weak performance. Finally, an out-of-benchmark allocation to lead contributed to results, as it posted a strong gain over the period.
We anticipate commodity prices to continue to improve over the medium to longer term. Despite their rally year-to-date, we still consider commodities to be undervalued across the board, particularly when evaluated based on inflation-adjusted historical prices. We also anticipate supply and demand in certain commodities markets to continue to move more into balance, which could lend support to prices. Additionally, while not currently problematic, we continue to monitor inflation, as commodities have historically done well in inflationary environments and, in our opinion, there have been some signs of a pick-up in inflation, such as the 10-year inflation breakeven rate. Finally, we believe commodities remain an attractive diversifier for investors' portfolios as they have become less correlated with stock and bonds. Pulling these views together, we believe in the near term the asset class may face some short term headwinds both from a potential Federal Reserve interest rate hike and some uncertainties around global growth. However, we believe that over the long term, the supply/demand balance in many commodity markets and other factors may be more supportive of continued strength in the asset class.
Sincerely,
WAI LEE, HAKAN KAYA, THOMAS SONTAG AND DAVID YI WAN

U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund Commentary (Unaudited)
Since its launch on September 16, 2016, the Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund Institutional Class generated a total return of 0.90% for the period ended October 31, 2016 and outperformed its primary benchmark, a blend consisting of 85% CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Index and 15% Russell 2000 PutWrite Index, which had a return of 0.83% for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
The Fund's investment strategy seeks to collect near-the-money index put option premiums and hold a fixed income portfolio of cash and limited duration U.S. Treasury Notes that "collateralize" the short index put option positions. The market value of the fixed income portfolio is generally equal to the notional exposure of the short index put option portfolio's aggregate notional value, rendering the strategy unlevered. Our first full month of performance, October, proved to be a well-defined example of the benefits of a put writing strategy. The Fund returned –0.30% during the month while the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index returned –1.82% and –4.75%, respectively. As expected, the upfront collection of put option premiums on U.S. equity index exposures offset a portion of the losses associated with underlying index exposures. These results are consistent with our expectations of providing "structurally" lower volatility equity index exposure through index put writing. Shareholders should keep in mind that the Fund's upside can be limited in a rising equity market.
In general, index put option premiums have historically increased during times of greater market uncertainty, which may allow the Fund to partially offset the risk of decline during periods of equity market stress as well as provide an opportunity to improve its total return potential. The setting of option premiums is a continuous process that assimilates investor sentiments and market risk factors into explicit estimates of prospective index price distributions for specific time horizons, i.e., option implied volatilities. The CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index and CBOE Russell 2000 Volatility Index are two popular measures of implied volatilities relevant to the Fund's investment strategy. Both indexes increased as equity markets declined in October and ended the month up approximately 28% and 18%, respectively. The anticipation of the U.S. Presidential election and corresponding uncertainties were, in our opinion, likely significant contributors to the declines in equity markets and increases in put option premiums as the election drew closer. In retrospect, equity markets appeared to be most concerned with the potential for a contested outcome rather than a Clinton or Trump win and seemed to have quickly found relative relief when results indicated a clear winner, albeit a controversial one.
With each passing month, we believe the likelihood of rising interest rates seems to increase, which raises questions about the potential impact on the Fund's fixed income exposures. The market value of the Fund's cash and short-duration U.S. Treasury positions, which had an average duration of less than one year, was roughly unchanged for the period. Despite a long history of interest rate data, most modern investment strategies have histories that only span a few brief periods of rising interest rates. So looking at history offers only a limited perspective. However, we remain firm in our conviction that our limited duration exposure has the potential to help the Fund avoid significant losses should rates increase substantially. Further, in our view, any increase in equity market volatility will likely lead to higher option premiums, which may improve the return prospects of the Fund's index put writing strategy.
Sincerely,
DEREK DEVENS

1 Please see "Glossary of Indices" on page 21 for a description of indices. Please note that individuals cannot invest directly in any index. The HFRX Equity Hedge Index and HFRX Fixed Income-Credit Index do take into account fees and expenses of investing since they are 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 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. During the period from August 2012 through January 2013, Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy 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 Effective September 30, 2016, the Board approved a change in the benchmark of Global Allocation Fund so that the Fund will use the version of its current benchmark that is net of foreign tax withholdings rather than gross of foreign tax withholdings, which is a more appropriate benchmark for the Fund. Net total return indexes reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using (for international indexes) a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. Gross total return indexes reinvest as much as possible of a company's dividend distributions, regardless of withholding taxes that a non-resident may experience.
* On January 1, 2016, Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("NBM") and Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger Berman") transferred to Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI") their rights and obligations pertaining to all services they provided to any Fund under any investment management, investment sub-advisory, and/or administration agreement, as applicable (the "Agreements"). Following such transfer, NBFI was renamed Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA" or "Management"). In addition, on the date of the transfer, the services previously provided by NB Alternative Investment Management LLC ("NBAIM") are provided by NBIA. Following the consolidation, the investment professionals of NBM and NBAIM who provided services to any Fund under the Agreements continue to provide the same services, except that they provide those services in their new capacities as investment professionals of NBIA. Further, the consolidation did not result in any change in the investment processes employed by any Fund, the nature or level of services provided to any Fund, or the fees any Fund pays under its Agreements.
On July 1, 2016, NBM was reorganized into Neuberger Berman (the "Reorganization"). Upon the completion of the Reorganization, Neuberger Berman assumed all rights and obligations pertaining to all services NBM provided to any Fund under any distribution agreement or distribution and services agreement (the "Agreements") or plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Plans"). Accordingly, after the Reorganization, Neuberger Berman became each Fund's distributor and the services previously provided by NBM under the Agreements and Plans are provided by Neuberger Berman.
Following the Reorganization, the employees of NBM provide the same services to each Fund under the Agreements and Plans, except that they provide those services in their capacities as employees of Neuberger Berman. Further, the Reorganization did not result in any change in the nature or level of services provided to each Fund, or the fees, if any, each Fund pays under the Agreements or the Plans.
On or about January 1, 2017, Neuberger Berman the Funds' distributor, ("Distributor"), will change its name to Neuberger Berman BD LLC.

The index is largely comprised of three major regional aggregate components: the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Bloomberg Barclays Pan-European Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Asian-Pacific Aggregate Index. In addition to securities from these three indices, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index also includes investment grade Eurodollar, Euro-Yen, Canadian, and 144A Index-eligible securities not already in these three indices. On August 24, 2016, Bloomberg acquired the Barclays fixed income benchmark indices from Barclays. Barclays and Bloomberg have agreed to co-brand the indices as the Bloomberg Barclays Indices for an initial term of five years. For more information, please visit www.bloombergindices.com/. |

60% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 40% S&P 500® Index: | The blended index is composed of 60% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (described above) and 40% S&P 500® Index (described below), and is rebalanced monthly. | ||
Bloomberg Commodity Index: |
The index is a rolling index composed of exchange-traded futures contracts on physical commodities. The index relies primarily on liquidity data of futures contracts, along with U.S. dollar-adjusted production data, in determining the relative quantities of included commodities. The index is designed to be a highly liquid and diversified benchmark for commodities investments. The version of the index that is calculated on a total return basis reflects the returns on a fully collateralized investment in the underlying commodity futures contracts, combined with the returns on cash collateral invested in Treasury Bills. |
||
BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index: |

Glossary of Indices (cont'd)
HFRX Fixed Income-
Credit Index:
|
The index tracks the performance of hedge fund strategies with exposure to credit across a broad continuum of credit sub-strategies, including Corporate, Sovereign, Distressed, Convertible, Asset Backed, Capital Structure Arbitrage, Multi-Strategy and other Relative Value and Event Driven sub-strategies. The investment thesis across all strategies is predicated on realization of a valuation discrepancy between the related credit instruments. Strategies may also include and utilize equity securities, credit derivatives, government fixed income, commodities, currencies or other hybrid securities. 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. Constituents are weighted by a representative optimization methodology. The index is rebalanced quarterly. |
||
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. The index is rebalanced quarterly. |
||
MSCI All Country World Index: |
The index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The index consists of 46 country indices comprising 23 developed and 23 emerging market country indices. The developed market country indices included are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The emerging market country indices included are: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and the UAE. Net total return indexes reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using (for international indexes) a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. Gross total return indexes reinvest as much as possible of a company's dividend distributions, regardless of withholding taxes that a non-resident may experience. |

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, 2016 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 Financial Statements Alternative Fundsß
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 Global Allocation Fund ("Global Allocation"), Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund ("Long Short"), Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund ("Long Short Credit"), Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund ("Multi-Asset Income"), Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy Fund ("Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy") 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. 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 (Global Allocation, Long Short and Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy became diversified in December 2013, December 2014 and August 2015, respectively). Long Short Credit, Multi-Asset Income and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy are each diversified. Long Short Credit had no operations until June 29, 2015, other than matters relating to its organization and its registration of shares under the 1933 Act. Multi-Asset Income had no operations until March 27, 2015, other than matters relating to its organization and its registration of shares under the 1933 Act. U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy had no operations until September 16, 2016, other than matters relating to its organization and its registration of shares under the 1933 Act. Each Fund offers Institutional Class shares, Class A shares and Class C shares. Long Short Credit, Multi-Asset Income and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy also offer Class R6 shares. The Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.
A zero balance, if any, reflects an actual amount rounding to less than $1,000.
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 Standard Codification 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 ("NBIA" or "Management") to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy invests in commodity-related instruments through Neuberger Berman Cayman Commodity Fund I Ltd. (the "Subsidiary"), which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Subscription agreements were entered into between the Fund and the Subsidiary with the intent that Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy will remain the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is governed by its own Board of Directors.
As of October 31, 2016, the value of Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy's investment in the Subsidiary was as follows:

2 Consolidation: The accompanying financial statements of Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy present the consolidated accounts of Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy and the Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
3 Portfolio valuation: In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("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 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.
The value of the Funds' investments (long and short positions) in equity securities, exchange-traded funds, preferred stocks, exchange-traded options purchased and options 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 in debt securities for long and short positions 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
115
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 yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available ("Other Market Information").
Convertible Bonds. Inputs used to value convertible bonds generally include underlying stock data, dealer quotes, conversion premiums, listed bond and preferred stock prices and other market information, which may include benchmark curves, trade execution data, and sensitivity analysis, when available.
U.S. Treasury Obligations. Inputs used to value U.S. Treasury securities generally include quotes from several inter-dealer brokers and Other Market Information.
U.S. Government Agency Securities. Inputs used to value U.S. Government Agency securities generally include obtaining benchmark quotes and Other Market Information.
Asset-Backed Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities. Inputs used to value asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities generally include models that consider a number of factors, which may include the following: prepayment speeds, cash flows, spread adjustments and Other Market Information.
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 credit default swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using a model that considers a number of factors, which may include default probabilities, credit curves, recovery rates and cash flows (Level 2 inputs).
The value of total return swaps and total return basket swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using the underlying asset and stated London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or Federal Funds floating rate (Level 2 inputs).
Option contracts that are traded OTC 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 per share (Level 2 inputs).
116
If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, Management seeks to obtain quotations from brokers or dealers (generally considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Board has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, securities within the same industry with recent highly correlated performance, trading in futures or American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") 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 Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data, Inc. ("Interactive") 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, Interactive 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 Interactive to evaluate the prices of foreign debt securities as of the time as of which a Fund's share price is calculated. Interactive 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 income 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 translation: The accounting records of the Funds 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 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 on securities, accretion of original issue discount, where applicable, and accretion of discount on short-term investments, if any, 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.
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, except U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy, to continue to, and the intention of U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy 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.
117
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, 2016, the Funds 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, Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy 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 Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy's taxable income in the current period and also disregarded for all future periods.
As of October 31, 2016, selected fund information on a U.S. federal income tax basis was as follows:

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.
As determined on October 31, 2016, 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: net operating loss netted against short term capital gains or written-off, current and prior year partnership basis adjustments, net operating losses, return of capital distributions, non-taxable distributions from real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and other underlying investments, paydown losses on mortgage backed and asset backed securities, Subsidiary income and gain (loss), gains and losses on swap contracts and futures, foreign currency gains and losses, tax adjustments related to short sales gains and losses from forwards, gains and losses from passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"), non-deductible stock issuance fees, affiliated capital gain reclass to ordinary income, distributions in excess and re-designated, deemed distributions on shareholder redemptions and deflation adjustments on U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds ("TIPs"). These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net asset value ("NAV") or NAV per share of each Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

The temporary differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: losses disallowed and recognized on wash sales, straddles and unsettled short sales; timing differences of distribution payments, swaps, futures contracts and forward contracts; adjustments related to post-October capital loss and late-year ordinary loss deferrals, unamortized organization expenses, mark-to-market adjustments on option contracts and tax adjustments related to REITs, TIPs, PFICs, short sales, partnerships, futures, swap contracts and other investments.
To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. Capital loss carryforward rules allow for regulated investment companies 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, 2016, the Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:

Under current tax regulations, capital losses realized on investment transactions after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds may also defer any realized late-year ordinary losses as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses realized on investment transactions after December 31 and specified losses (ordinary losses from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of property, net foreign currency losses and net passive foreign investment company mark to market losses) realized on investment transactions after October 31. For the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short and Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy elected to defer the following late-year ordinary losses:

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, 2016, 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 Global Allocation, Long Short and Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy, monthly for Multi-Asset Income and quarterly for Long Short Credit (monthly prior to October 1, 2016) and 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.
It is the policy of each of Global Allocation, Long Short and Multi-Asset Income 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 these Funds until the following calendar year. At October 31, 2016, these Funds estimated these amounts for the period January 1, 2016 to October 31, 2016 within the financial statements because the 2016 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, 2016, the character of distributions 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 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
120
directly attributable to a particular investment company in the complex (e.g., the Trust) or series thereof are allocated among the investment companies or series thereof in the complex on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies or series thereof in the complex can otherwise be made fairly. Each 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 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. The net amount of fees incurred during the year ended October 31, 2016, are included in the "Dividend and interest expense on securities sold short" on the Statements of Operations and are as follows:

At October 31, 2016, Global Allocation had cash pledged in the amount of $1,150,000 to State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), as collateral for short sales, in addition to cash collateral received from securities lending activities for the Fund. In addition, State Street has a perfected security interest in these Global Allocation assets. At October 31, 2016, Long Short had cash pledged in the amount of $381,109,733 to State Street to cover collateral requirements for borrowing in connection with securities sold short.
At October 31, 2016, Global Allocation had securities pledged in the amount of $1,585,923 to State Street to cover collateral requirements for borrowing in connection with securities sold short.
13 Security 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 disclosed within the Statements of Operations under the caption, "Income from securities loaned-net" are net of expenses retained by State Street as compensation for its services as lending agent. For the year ended October 31, 2016, Global Allocation received net income under the securities lending arrangement of $1,604. The Funds receive cash collateral at the beginning of each transaction equal to at least 102% of the prior day's market value of the loaned securities (105% in the case of international securities). Some or all of the cash collateral may be used to finance short sales. As of October 31, 2016, approximately 100% of the cash collateral received by Global Allocation was used to finance short sales.
As of October 31, 2016, Global Allocation had outstanding loans of securities to certain approved brokers for which it received collateral as follows:

All securities on loan are classified as Common Stocks in the Portfolio's Schedule of Investments as of October 31, 2016 with a contractual maturity of overnight and continuous.
14 Investment company securities and exchange-traded funds: The Funds may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), within the limitations prescribed by the 1940 Act or pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that permits the Funds to invest in both affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, in excess of the limits in Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, as amended, subject to the terms and conditions of such order (see Note A-17 for more information about the exemptive order). 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 increase expenses and decrease returns.
15 Derivative instruments: Certain of the Funds' use of derivatives during the year ended October 31, 2016, is described below. Please see the Schedule of Investments for each Fund's open positions in derivatives, if any, at October 31, 2016. 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, 2016, Global Allocation used futures in an effort to enhance returns 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, 2016, Long
122
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, 2016, Long Short Credit used futures in an effort to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund or the risk of individual positions, to adjust the duration of the Fund's portfolio, to hedge risk and to alter the Fund's exposure to currencies, interest rates, sectors and individual issuers. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Multi-Asset Income used futures in an effort to adjust the investment exposure and/or risk profile of the portfolio based on the portfolio managers team's market views. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy used futures (through investments in the Subsidiary) to provide investment exposure to individual commodities, as well as in an effort to manage and/or adjust the risk profile of the Fund.
At the time a 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 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 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, a Fund recognizes a gain or loss. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility there may be an illiquid market, possibly at a time of rapidly declining prices, and/or a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Futures executed on regulated futures exchanges have minimal counterparty risk to a Fund because the exchange's clearinghouse assumes the position of the counterparty in each transaction. Thus, a Fund is exposed to risk only in connection with the clearinghouse and not in connection with the original counterparty to the transaction.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the futures transactions undertaken by a Fund or Subsidiary may cause the Fund or 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 or Subsidiary. Also, a 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 or Subsidiary's taxable income.
Forward foreign currency contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Global Allocation used forward contracts to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short Credit used forward contracts to alter the Fund's exposure to currencies, interest rates, sectors and individual issuers. During the year ended October 31, 2016, 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.
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 forward foreign currency contracts" in the
123
Statements of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in a Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and the risk the counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligation.
Credit default swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short Credit used credit default swaps to replace more traditional direct investments, to establish net short or long positions for individual markets, currencies or securities and to hedge risk. When a Fund is the buyer of an 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 a 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 a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make (or the risk of loss) would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Fund may add economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract are accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and are recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation of swaps.
Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivative transactions, including certain credit default swaps. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty that is then cleared through a central clearinghouse. Upon acceptance of a swap by a central clearinghouse, the original swap is extinguished and replaced with a swap with the clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund's exposure to the credit risk of the original counterparty. A Fund typically will be required to post specified levels of both initial and variation margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared derivative transaction. The daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the centrally clearing party. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) and net interest received or paid on swap contracts to determine the fair value of swaps.
Equity swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short used equity swap contracts ("equity swaps") to increase returns, reduce risks and for hedging purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short Credit used equity swaps to replace more traditional direct investments and to hedge risk.
Equity swaps are two-party contracts in which counterparties exchange the return on a specified reference security, basket of securities, security index or index component for the return based on a fixed or floating interest rate during the period of the swap. 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. 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 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses.
124
Total return basket swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short used total return basket swaps to increase returns, reduce risks and for hedging purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short Credit used total return basket swaps to replace more traditional direct investments and to hedge risk. Certain Funds 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 International Swaps and Derivatives Association (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 swap contracts in the Statements of Operations.
Total return swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short used total return swaps to increase returns, reduce risks and for hedging purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short Credit used total return swaps to replace more traditional direct investments and to hedge risk. Total return swaps involve commitments to pay fixed or floating rate interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the reference security or index underlying the total return swap exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Certain risks may arise when entering into total return swap transactions, including counterparty default, liquidity or unfavorable changes in the value of the underlying reference security or index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made at the end of each measurement period are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations.
Options: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Global Allocation used options written to enhance returns, manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund or the risk of individual positions replace more traditional direct investments and obtain exposure to certain markets. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short used options written to generate incremental returns. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Long Short Credit used options written (including swaptions and options on futures) to establish net short or long positions for individual markets, currencies or securities, hedge risk and alter the Fund's exposure to currencies, interest rates, sectors and individual issuers. During the year ended October 31, 2016, Multi-Asset Income used options written primarily to seek to enhance yield. During the period ended October 31, 2016, U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy used options written primarily to gain exposure to securities, markets, sectors or geographical areas and also to enhance income and gain exposure more efficiently than through a direct purchase of the underlying security.
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 covered call or put option that a Fund has written expires unexercised, a Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium. All securities covering outstanding written options are held in escrow by the custodian bank.
Swaptions are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swaptions is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option.
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.
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.
Purchased option transactions were used either for hedging purposes or to generate incremental returns for Long Short, Long Short Credit and Multi-Asset Income for the year ended October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2016, the Funds had the following derivatives (which did not qualify as hedging instruments under ASC 815), grouped by primary risk exposure:

While the Funds may receive redeemable preference shares, rights and warrants in connection with their investments in securities, these rights and warrants are not considered "derivative instruments" under ASC 815.
The Funds adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 is intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. Pursuant to ASU 2011-11, an entity 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. ASU 2011-11 is applicable to the Funds, except Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy, at October 31, 2016. The Funds' derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type are reported gross in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received by a Fund for assets and pledged by a Fund for liabilities as of October 31, 2016.

(a) Collateral received (or pledged) is limited to an amount not to exceed 100% of the net amount of assets (or liabilities) in the tables presented above, for each respective counterparty.
(b) Net Amount represents amounts subject to loss as of October 31, 2016, in the event of a counterparty failure.

16 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.
17 Transactions with other funds managed by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC: Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds and Management 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 exchange-traded funds, in excess of the limits in Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, subject to the terms and conditions of such order. Through October 31, 2016, Global Allocation invested in 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 Equity Fund, Neuberger Berman International Select Fund, Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund, Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy (collectively the "Underlying Funds"). Through October 31, 2016, Multi-Asset Income invested in Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund, Neuberger Berman Global Long Short Fund, Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund and Long Short Credit (collectively the "Underlying Funds") (See Note F).
For the Funds' investments in the Underlying Funds, Management 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, management fees waived under this Arrangement are reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Investment management fees waived." For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, income earned under this Arrangement on Global Allocation's and Multi-Asset Income's investments is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Dividend income—affiliated issuers." For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, management fees waived and income earned under this Arrangement on Global Allocation's and Multi-Asset Income's investments in the Underlying Funds were as follows:

(a) Less the net asset value of the Subsidiary for Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy.
Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.06% of its average daily net assets under this agreement. In addition, Institutional Class of each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.09% of its average daily net assets under this agreement and Class A and Class C of each Fund (except Long Short Credit and Multi-Asset Income) pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.20% (0.21% for Long Short Credit and Multi-Asset Income) of its average daily net assets under this agreement. Long Short Credit's, Multi-Asset Income's and U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy's Class R6 pays Management an administration fee of 0.02% of its average daily net assets. Additionally, Management retains State Street as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement. The Subsidiary also retains Management as its administrator, and State Street as its sub-administrator.
136
Management 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 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, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales and extraordinary expenses, if any (commitment fees relating to borrowings are treated as interest for purposes of this exclusion); consequently, net expenses may exceed the contractual expense limitations. Each Fund has agreed that each of its respective classes will repay Management 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 Management, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which Management 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, 2016, these Subsidiary expenses amounted to $141,930.
During the year ended October 31, 2016, there was no repayment to Management under these agreements.
At October 31, 2016, contingent liabilities to Management under the agreements were as follows:

Until December 31, 2015, Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI"), as the sub-adviser to Global Allocation, Long Short Credit, Multi-Asset Income and Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy, was retained by Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("NBM") to provide day-to-day investment management services and received a monthly fee paid by NBM. As investment manager, NBM was responsible for overseeing the investment activities of NBFI. Until December 31, 2015, Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger Berman"), was the sub-adviser to Long Short and was retained by NBM to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to the Funds. Several individuals who are Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of NBFI, Neuberger Berman and/or NBM. As a result of the entity consolidation described on page 20 of this Annual Report, the services previously provided by NBFI and Neuberger Berman under the respective sub-advisory agreements are being provided by NBIA as of January 1, 2016.
Each Fund also has a distribution agreement with Neuberger Berman with respect to each class of shares. Neuberger Berman 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, Neuberger Berman 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, Neuberger Berman's activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, Neuberger Berman 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. Neuberger Berman 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 Long Short Credit and Multi-Asset Income) are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 5.75%. Class A shares of Long Short Credit and 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% will apply to certain redemptions made within 18 months following
138
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, 2016, Neuberger Berman, acting as underwriter and broker-dealer, received net initial sales charges from the purchase of Class A shares and CDSCs from the redemption of Class A and Class C shares as follows:

Note E—Lines of Credit:
At October 31, 2016, each Fund (other than Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy 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 Management also participate in this line of credit on substantially the same terms except that some do not have access to the full amount of the Credit Facility. Interest is charged on borrowings under this Credit Facility at the higher of (a) a federal funds effective rate plus 1.00% per annum or (b) a eurodollar rate for a one-month period 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 payable and the level of its access to the Credit Facility, 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, 2016. During the period ended October 31, 2016, none of the Funds utilized the line of credit.

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.

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 may 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds and Shareholders of:
Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund
Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund
Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund
Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy Fund
Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund, Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund, Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund, Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy Fund and Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund, five of the series constituting the Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds (the "Trust"), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2016, the related statements of operations for the period then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund, Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund, Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund, Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy Fund and Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund, at October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the period then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund, as of October 31, 2016, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period December 29, 2011 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) or the Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreement with Management (the "Agreement") with respect to Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund, Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund, Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund, Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund, and Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy 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 October 18, 2016, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreement 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 investment performance reports and related portfolio information for each Fund, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; brokerage and execution; compliance; and shareholder and other services provided by Management and its affiliates. To assist the Board in its deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Board has established a Contract Review Committee comprised of Independent Fund Trustees. 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 that feed into the Contract Review Committee, which reviews and takes account of the information.
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.
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 considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to each Fund, including the following factors: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Management; (2) the investment performance of each Fund compared to an appropriate market index and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and the profit or loss realized by Management and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been or might be realized as each Fund grows; and (5) whether fee or service levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund's 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 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 overall costs and benefits of the Agreement to each Fund and, through the Funds, their shareholders.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of Management 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
171
Board also considered Management's policies and practices regarding brokerage and allocation of portfolio transactions and reviewed the quality of the execution services that Management had provided. The Board also reviewed whether Management used brokers to execute Fund transactions that provide research and other services to Management and the types of benefits potentially derived from such services by Management, the Funds and other clients of Management. The Board also considered that Management's responsibilities include daily management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and considered information regarding Management's processes for managing risk. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management, as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to the firm. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds.
As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various non-routine 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, such as regulatory concerns about changes in fixed-income market liquidity and potential volatility, and considered the overall performance of Management in this context.
The Board factored into its evaluation of the Funds' fees and performance a consideration of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing peer groups and determining which investment companies should be included in the peer groups. With respect to investment performance, the Board considered information regarding each Fund's short-, intermediate- and long-term performance, as applicable, both on an absolute basis and relative to an appropriate benchmark index and the average performance of a composite peer group (as constructed by an independent organization) of investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies. The Board also reviewed performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers. In the case of those Funds that had underperformed their benchmark indices and/or peer groups, the Board discussed with Management each Fund's performance and steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance. In the case of certain Funds, the Board met with the Portfolio Managers of those Funds during the period since the last contract renewal to discuss the Fund's performance. The Board also considered Management's responsiveness with respect to the Funds that experienced lagging 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 a Fund's Agreement and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreement notwithstanding a Fund's underperformance.
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreement, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreement as compared to a peer group of comparable funds. 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. With respect to Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund and Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund, the Board considered that each Fund invests in affiliated underlying funds pursuant to exemptive relief obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board further considered, for any assets that Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund and Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund invest in an affiliated underlying fund, Management's undertaking to waive a portion of each Fund's advisory fee equal to the advisory fee it receives from such affiliated underlying fund. The Board also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with the Funds, and year-over-year changes in each of Management's reported expense categories.
The Board reviewed a comparison of each Fund's management fee and total expense ratio 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, but it was not clear whether this was the case for all funds in the peer group. The Board compared each Fund's contractual and actual management fees to the mean and 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.) Where a Fund's management fee was higher than the peer group mean and/or median, the Board considered whether specific portfolio management, administration or oversight needs contributed to the management fee. In addition, the Board considered the contractual
172
limit on expenses of certain classes of each Fund. The Board noted that Management incurred a loss on certain of the Funds during the review period. The Board also noted that for some classes of certain Funds, the overall expense ratio of each class is maintained through expense reimbursements by Management.
With regard to the investment performance of each Fund and the costs of the services provided to each Fund, the Board considered the following information. Where a Fund has more than one class of shares outstanding, information for a single class has been provided as identified below. For each Fund, the Board looked at the Institutional Class as provided below as a proxy for all of the Fund's classes:
• |
Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both lower than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1-year period and higher than the median for the 3-year period. Due to limited performance information for the funds in the peer group, the Fund was the only Fund in the group with five years of performance. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period, but higher for the 3 and 5-year periods. The Fund was launched in 2010 and therefore does not have 10-year performance. |
• |
Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee were both lower than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1 and 3-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period, but higher for the 3-year period. The Fund was launched in 2011 and therefore does not have 5 or 10-year performance. |
• |
Neuberger Berman Long Short Credit Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee was equal to the median, but the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was higher than the median. The Board did not consider the Fund's performance relative to its peer group because the Fund has been in operation for less than one year and, as such, does not have comparable peer group performance. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the period since the Fund's inception. The Fund was launched in 2015 and while the Board reviewed its performance as compared to its benchmark, the Board recognizes the limitations of relying on very short-term performance. |
• |
Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both lower than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was higher than the median for the period since the Fund's inception. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the period since the Fund's inception. The Fund was launched in 2015 and while the Board reviewed its performance as compared to its benchmark and peer group, the Board recognizes the limitations of relying on very short-term performance. |
• |
Neuberger Berman Risk Balanced Commodity Strategy Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both lower than the respective medians. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1 and 3-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1 and 3-year periods. The Fund was launched in 2012 and therefore does not have 5 or 10-year performance. |
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
173
Funds. In the cases where such funds or separate accounts exist, the Board compared the fees charged to the comparable Fund to the fees charged to any such funds and/or separate accounts. The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to a comparable Fund and any such funds and/or separate accounts, including any breakpoints, and determined that differences in fees and fee structures were consistent with the management and other services provided. The Board also evaluated any 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 and whether any such breakpoints are set at appropriate asset levels. As in past years, the Board gave careful thought to the size of any breakpoints in the Funds' advisory fees and the asset levels at which they are set. It also considered whether the fees were set at an appropriate level and compared the fee structures to that of the peer group. The Board also considered that Management has provided, at no added cost to the Funds, certain additional services that were required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape, and/or requested by the Board. In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and 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 reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period. The Board also considered Management's cost allocation methodology. The Board recognized that Management should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services it provides to the Funds and, based on its review, concluded that Management's reported level of profitability on each Fund was reasonable.
Conclusions
In approving the continuation of the Agreement, the Board concluded that the terms of each 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 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 it 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 the Funds 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.

Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund: Initial Consideration of the Management Agreement
At meetings held on June 22-23, 2016, the Board of Trustees ("Board") of Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds ("Trust"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) or the Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), evaluated and approved the management agreement with Management (the "Agreement") with respect to Neuberger Berman U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Fund (the "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").
In evaluating the Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed materials provided by Management and met with senior representatives of Management regarding its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Fund.
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 and for the annual consideration of continuance of contracts for other series of the Trust. To assist the Board in its deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Board has established a Contract Review Committee comprised of Independent Fund Trustees. 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 that feed into the Contract Review Committee, which reviews and takes account of the information.
The Independent Fund Trustees receive, at least annually, from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of management and advisory agreements. During the course of their deliberations regarding their review of the Agreement, the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management.
In connection with its approval of the Agreement, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreement, the overall fairness of the Agreement to the Fund and whether the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to the Fund, including the following factors: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Management; (2) the expected costs of the services to be provided by Management; (3) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows; and (4) whether proposed fee levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders. The Board's determination to approve the Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to 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 overall costs and benefits of the Agreement to the Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of Management and the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management who would perform services for the Fund. The Board noted that Management also would provide certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance services. The Board also considered Management's policies and practices regarding brokerage and allocation of portfolio transactions for the Fund. The Board also reviewed whether Management would use brokers to execute Fund transactions that provide research and other services to Management and the types of benefits potentially derived from such services by Management, the Fund and other clients of Management. The Board also considered that Management's responsibilities include daily management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Fund, and considered information regarding Management's processes for managing risk. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management as no significant compliance problems were reported to
175
the Board with respect to the firm. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Fund.
The Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various non-routine 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, such as regulatory concerns about changes in fixed-income market liquidity and potential volatility, and considered the overall performance of Management in this context.
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreement, the Board considered the fee structures proposed for the Fund under the Agreement for the four classes to be registered initially as compared to a peer group of comparable funds. 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. The Board reviewed a comparison of the Fund's proposed management fee and total expense ratio to a peer group of comparable funds and determined that the management fee and the overall expense ratio for Class A, Class C, Institutional Class and Class R6 are lower than the median for the peer group. The Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in the Fund's management fee, the separate administrative fees paid to Management, but it was not clear whether this was the case for all funds in the peer group. In addition, the Board considered the proposed contractual limit on expenses of each class of the Fund. The Board also considered whether it would be appropriate to evaluate any anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management would provide to the Fund, noting that it may be too soon to anticipate the economies at the start-up phase of a fund. The Board concluded that the benefits expected to accrue to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits expected to accrue to the Fund.
Conclusions
In approving the Agreement, the Board concluded that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable to the Fund and that approval of the Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management could be expected to provide a high level of service to the Fund; that the Fund's proposed fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided; and that the benefits expected to accrue 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 expected to accrue to the Fund.

Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund and Neuberger Berman Long Short Multi-Manager Fund.
U.S. equity markets experienced several periods of weakness and elevated volatility throughout the fiscal year, driven by the energy selloff to start the year, the "Brexit" decision in June and the uncertainty regarding the November U.S. elections. Still, U.S. equities were positive for the period overall. Corporate bonds and asset-backed securities started the period with significant spread widening despite no obvious changes to credit quality. Those markets subsequently rallied and ended higher for the period. Currency volatility picked up during the period as the U.S. dollar and yen strengthened while the euro and pound weakened. Commodity volatility was higher during the period as well, particularly in the energies and metals sectors.
Looking ahead, we believe the lows for interest rates are behind us and they may continue to trend higher in the long term. In our view, volatility across asset classes has the potential to remain elevated, driven by diverging growth trajectories and monetary policies across global economies. Lastly, we anticipate an interesting spread environment, whether that be in fixed income markets or merger arbitrage. This could be driven, for example, by higher interest rates, a robust merger and acquisition (M&A) environment with mega-deals, or strong fixed income exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows, among other dynamics. These three factors (rising rates, elevated volatility and interesting arbitrage) have historically been tailwinds for hedge fund strategy performance, in our opinion.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.
Sincerely,
ROBERT CONTI
PRESIDENT AND CEO
NEUBERGER BERMAN MUTUAL FUNDS

Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund Institutional Class generated a -1.57% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. During the period, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index which posted a -1.30% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes and benchmarks is provided in the table following this letter.)
Despite periods of weakness and elevated volatility throughout the year, U.S. equities were positive for the period overall. After a weak start, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities rallied and ended higher for the period. Currency volatility was higher for much of the period as the U.S. dollar and yen strengthened, while the euro and pound weakened. We observed several strong trends in commodities markets, including Energies and Metals.
Following a difficult start to the period for the Fund, characterized by technical selling pressure in crowded hedge fund trades, performance recovered partially and was in line with expectations for the last eight months. We added some value through our subadviser weighting decisions for the period, as the four subadvisers that had the largest weights throughout the fiscal year were among the top five performing subadvisers.
Overall, the Fund's allocation to credit strategies was the largest positive contributor. Both the corporate credit long/short and asset-backed securities subadvisers were active buyers after spreads widened out materially through mid-February 2016 and benefited from subsequent spread tightening over the next several months. Positive catalysts in a number of long and short positions were additive to performance as well.
The allocation to long/short equity strategies was the largest detractor, as a strong recovery in the second half of the period was overshadowed by a difficult first few months. Gains from longs outpaced losses from shorts. On a positive note, single name shorts generated strong alpha versus the broader market.
The Fund's merger arbitrage/event driven allocation was a marginal detractor. As a reminder, we materially reduced this allocation since the third quarter of 2015 and rotated the vast majority of capital in the strategy out of softer catalyst special situations and into merger arbitrage. This proved to be prudent as the latter contributed positively for the period, while the former detracted.
The allocation to global macro/managed futures strategy was another marginal detractor. Gains from the global macro subadviser that were primarily the result of U.S. dollar strengthening were offset by losses from the managed futures subadviser. The latter had a strong start to the period as long rates and short equities positioning paid off, but that ended up being costly later.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, swap and option contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
Looking ahead, we believe the portfolio is well positioned to benefit from potentially rising interest rates, higher volatility and attractive spreads. With regard to rising rates, the 10 year U.S. Treasury yield bottomed on July 8, 2016 and ended the period 47 basis points higher. From July through September, the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, in particular, as has historically been the case in similar environments. We have seen this trend strengthen in November 2016 and anticipate rates will continue rising in the long term. President-elect Trump's victory has created uncertainty regarding the direction of a long list of far reaching policies and we anticipate that uncertainty to drive volatility higher in the near term. In our view, our exposure to global macro/managed futures strategies should perform well in this environment. Finally, strong flows both into and out of fixed income markets that we have seen more recently, as well as higher interest rates, in our opinion, should create interesting spreads both in fixed income markets and for merger arbitrage.
Sincerely,
DAVID KUPPERMAN AND JEFF MAJIT

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 performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.
The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The Fund's primary benchmark changed during the reporting period; the prior benchmark was the HFRX Absolute Return Index. The benchmark was modified because the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index is believed to be a fairer representation of the Fund's investment universe.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.
As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2015 were 2.73%, 3.09%, 3.84% and 2.68% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The total annual operating expense ratio for each of Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 includes the class's repayment of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2016 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.

Neuberger Berman Long Short Multi-Manager Fund Institutional Class generated a -1.75% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. During this same time period, its primary benchmark, the HFRX Equity Hedge Index returned -2.57%. (Performance for all share classes and benchmarks is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)
Despite periods of weakness early and late in the reporting period, the U.S. stock market generated a positive return over the Fund's fiscal year. Market volatility was elevated at times given mixed economic data, questions regarding the timing of future U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes and numerous geopolitical issues.
While the Fund posted a negative return for its full fiscal year, losses were concentrated in the first four months of the period as equity markets struggled. Beginning in the middle of February 2016, however, the Fund staged a substantial recovery that benefited from rallying equity markets, as well as meaningful alpha generation from both long and short positions.
For the full fiscal year, positive contributions from the Fund's long positions were partly offset by losses from its short positions. From a sector perspective, Energy and Financials were the largest detractors, whereas gains were led by Information Technology (IT), Industrials and Consumer Staples.
Within Energy, the bulk of losses occurred during the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 when the price of oil fell sharply and reached a bottom in February 2016. The Fund's energy subadviser has since recovered some of its losses as commodity prices have stabilized and the U.S. energy infrastructure outlook has improved. Within Financials, persistently low and declining interest rates created headwinds in the sector. The Fund's long Financials positions modestly recovered as the U.S. economy showed signs of improvement and the market appears to have priced in a greater likelihood for interest rate hikes in the near to medium-term.
The Fund's aggregate use of futures, forward foreign currency, swap and option contracts detracted from performance during the reporting period.
On the positive side, some of the largest individual winners over the period were from the IT sector. Two of these positions benefited from merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, including a long position in an IT services provider and a long position in a semiconductor company, both of which reached deals to be acquired at substantial premiums to where their stocks were trading. Within Industrials, a long position in a security systems company was a meaningful contributor as the company completed its merger with a multinational conglomerate. The subadviser who holds the position believes there are substantial margin improvement opportunities for the combined business.
We believe the Fund is well positioned heading into the end of the calendar year and into 2017. We have been encouraged by the strong positive alpha from both longs and shorts that our long/short equity subadvisers generated in aggregate during much of the fiscal year. We believe President-elect Trump's victory has created the potential for a number of policies that could provide both long and short opportunities in select sectors such as financials, energy and health care. More broadly, we believe the results of the election may result in a period of elevated volatility as optimism and pessimism ebb and flow around the new administration's policies. We believe the resulting valuation inefficiencies should serve as a tailwind for long/short equity managers. Lastly, we look forward to kicking off earnings season over the next several weeks, which has historically benefited our fundamentally-focused subadvisers.
Sincerely,
DAVID KUPPERMAN AND JEFF MAJIT

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 2015 were 4.22%, 4.65% and 5.45% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The total annual operating expense ratios were 2.93%, 3.30% and 4.07% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2016 can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

1 Please see "Glossary of Indices" on page 9 for a description of indices. Please note that individuals cannot invest directly in any index. The S&P 500® and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond indices do not take into account any fees, expenses or tax consequences of investing in the individual securities that they track. The HFRX Absolute Return, HFRX Equity Hedge and HFRX Global Hedge Fund indices do take into account fees and expenses of investing since they are based on the underlying hedge funds' net returns. 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 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).
4 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.
* On January 1, 2016, Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("NBM") and Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger Berman") transferred to Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI") their rights and obligations pertaining to all services they provided to any Fund under any investment management, investment sub-advisory, and/or administration agreement, as applicable (the "Agreements"). Following such transfer, NBFI was renamed Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("NBIA" or "Management"). In addition, on the date of the transfer, the services previously provided by NB Alternative Investment Management LLC ("NBAIM") are provided by NBIA. Following the consolidation, the investment professionals of NBM and NBAIM who provided services to any Fund under the Agreements continue to provide the same services, except that they provide those services in their new capacities as investment professionals of NBIA. Further, the consolidation did not result in any change in the investment processes employed by any Fund, the nature or level of services provided to any Fund, or the fees any Fund pays under its Agreements.
On July 1, 2016, NBM was reorganized into "Neuberger Berman" (the "Reorganization"). Upon the completion of the Reorganization, Neuberger Berman assumed all rights and obligations pertaining to all services NBM provided to any Fund under any distribution agreement or distribution and services agreement (the "Agreements") or plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Plans"). Accordingly, after the Reorganization, Neuberger Berman became each Fund's distributor and the services previously provided by NBM under the Agreements and Plans are provided by Neuberger Berman.
Following the Reorganization, the employees of NBM provide the same services to each Fund under the Agreements and Plans, except that they provide those services in their capacities as employees of Neuberger Berman. Further, the Reorganization did not result in any change in the nature or level of services provided to each Fund, or the fees, if any, each Fund pays under the Agreements or the Plans.
On or about January 1, 2017, Neuberger Berman, the Funds' distributor, ("Distributor"), will change its name to Neuberger Berman BD LLC.

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. The index is rebalanced quarterly. |
||
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. The index is rebalanced quarterly. |
||
HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index: |
The index is designed to be representative of the overall composition of the hedge fund universe. It is comprised of all eligible hedge fund strategies; including but not limited to convertible arbitrage, distressed securities, equity hedge, equity market neutral, event driven, macro, merger arbitrage, and relative value arbitrage. The strategies are asset weighted based on the distribution of assets in the hedge fund industry. 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. The index is rebalanced quarterly. |
||
S&P 500® Index: |
The index is a float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market, and includes a significant portion of the total value of the market. |

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, 2016 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.

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 1933 Act. Each of Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund ("Absolute Return Multi-Manager") and Neuberger Berman Long Short Multi-Manager Fund ("Long Short Multi-Manager"), (each individually a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds") is a separate operating series of the Trust, and is diversified. Each Fund offers Institutional Class shares, Class A shares and Class C shares. Absolute Return Multi-Manager also offers Class R6 shares. Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds' Board of Trustees ("the Board") may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.
A zero balance, if any, reflects an actual amount rounding to less than $1,000.
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 Standard Codification 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 ("NBIA" or "Management") to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
As of November 2, 2015, Absolute Return Multi-Manager invests in commodity-related instruments through the Subsidiary, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Absolute Return Multi-Manager is and expects to be the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is governed by its own Board of Directors.
As of October 31, 2016, the value of Absolute Return Multi-Manager's investment in the Subsidiary was as follows:

ß Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements for Absolute Return Multi-Manager
74
2 Consolidation: The accompanying financial statements of Absolute Return Multi-Manager 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 Accounting Standards Codification ("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, preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded notes, exchange-traded purchased option contracts, exchange-traded written option contracts, 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 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 yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, 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.
75
U.S. Treasury Obligations. Inputs used to value U.S. Treasury securities generally include quotes from several inter-dealer brokers and Other Market Information.
The value of the Funds' investments in convertible bonds is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations or, if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations such as yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions (generally Level 2 inputs).
The value of loan assignments is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on broker quotes (generally Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available).
The value of futures is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services at the settlement price at the market close (Level 1 inputs).
The value of 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 total return swaps on futures contracts is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on the settlement price of the underlying futures contract.
The value of equity swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using the underlying asset and stated London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or Federal Funds floating rate (generally Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).
The value of credit default swaps is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using a model that considers a number of factors, which may include default probabilities, credit curves, recovery rates and cash flows (Level 2 inputs).
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 per share (Level 2 inputs).
If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, Management seeks to obtain quotations from brokers or dealers (generally considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Board has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, securities within the same industry with recent highly correlated performance, trading in futures or American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") 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 Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data, Inc. ("Interactive") 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, Interactive will provide adjusted prices for certain foreign equity securities using a statistical analysis of historical correlations of multiple
76
factors (Level 2 inputs). The Board has also approved the use of Interactive to evaluate the prices of foreign income debt as of the time as of which a Fund's share price is calculated. Interactive 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 income debt. In the case of both foreign equity and foreign income 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 translation: The accounting records of the Funds 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 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, and accretion of discount on short-term investments, if any, 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 a class action litigation in which Absolute Return Multi-Manager participated as a class member. The amount of such proceeds for the year ended October 31, 2016, was $22,369.
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 regulated investment companies ("RIC") by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. To the extent a Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.
The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired. As of October 31, 2016, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.
At October 31, 2016, selected Fund information on a U.S. federal income tax basis was as follows:

The Subsidiary is a controlled foreign corporation under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. As a U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation, Absolute Return Multi-Manager 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 Absolute Return Multi-Manager's taxable income in the current period and also disregarded for all future periods.
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.
As determined on October 31, 2016, 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: distributions re-designated, foreign currency gains and losses, paydown gains and losses, net operating losses, prior year partnership adjustments, partnership basis adjustments, Subsidiary income gain (loss), distributions in excess of current year earnings, prior period adjustments, and tax adjustments related to real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs"), partnerships, futures, forward contracts, swap contracts, short sales, and other investments. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net asset value ("NAV") or NAV per share of each Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

The temporary differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: losses disallowed and recognized on wash sales, short sales, options and straddles, mark-to-market adjustments on swaps,
78
futures and forwards, unamortized organization expenses, tax adjustments related to REITs, PFICs, partnerships, swap contracts, short sales and other investments, capital loss carryforwards and partnership basis adjustments.
To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. As determined at October 31, 2016, for federal income tax purposes, the Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards, with no expiration, available to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:

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, 2016, there were no outstanding balances of accrued capital gains taxes for the Funds.
8 Distributions to shareholders: Each 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 each of Absolute Return Multi-Manager and Long Short Multi-Manager to pass through to its shareholders substantially all Real Estate Investment Trust ("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 these Funds until the following calendar year. At October 31, 2016, these Funds estimated these amounts for the period January 1, 2016 to October 31, 2016 within the financial statements because the 2016 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, 2016, the character of distributions 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 Organization expenses: Costs incurred by the Subsidiary in connection with its organization, which amounted to $19,302, and are reflected in "Organization expense" in the Statement of Operations of Absolute Return Multi-Manager and have been expensed as incurred.
10 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 or series thereof in the complex on the basis of relative net assets,
79
except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies or series thereof in the complex can otherwise be made fairly. Each 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.
11 Investments in foreign securities: Investing in foreign securities may involve sovereign and other risks, in addition to the credit and market risks normally associated with domestic securities. These additional risks include the possibility of adverse political and economic developments (including political instability, nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation) and the potentially adverse effects of unavailability of public information regarding issuers, less governmental supervision and regulation of financial markets, reduced liquidity of certain financial markets, and the lack of uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards or the application of standards that are different or less stringent than those applied in the United States. Foreign securities also may experience greater price volatility, higher rates of inflation, and delays in settlement.
12 Securities 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 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.
The net amount of fees incurred during the year ended October 31, 2016, are included in the "Dividend and interest expense on securities sold short" on the Statements of Operations and are as follows:

At October 31, 2016, Absolute Return Multi-Manager and Long Short Multi-Manager had cash pledged in the amount of $122,642,837 and $7,870,464, respectively, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA ("JPM"), as collateral for short sales. In addition, JPM has a perfected security interest in these Absolute Return Multi-Manager and Long Short Multi-Manager assets. At October 31, 2016, Absolute Return Multi-Manager and Long Short Multi-Manager had securities pledged in the amount of $24,372,205 and $2,066,189, respectively, to JPM to cover collateral requirements for borrowing in connection with securities sold short and options written.
13 Investment company securities, exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded notes: The Funds may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), within the limitations prescribed by the 1940 Act. 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 actively-managed investment objectives. 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
80
companies, which will increase expenses and decrease returns. The Funds may also invest in exchange-traded notes ("ETNs"). ETNs are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities that are linked to the performance of a particular market index or strategy. The issuer of the ETN pays the Fund an amount based on the returns of the underlying index or strategy, plus principal at maturity. A Fund will bear any applicable fees to the issuer upon redemption or maturity, which will increase expenses and decrease returns.
14 Derivative instruments: The Funds' use of derivatives during the year ended October 31, 2016, is described below. Please see the Schedule of Investments for each Fund's open positions in derivatives, if any, at October 31, 2016. 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.
Credit default swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Absolute Return Multi-Manager used centrally cleared and OTC 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 a Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, it is entitled to receive the notional amount of the swap from the counterparty if a credit event occurs. In return, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund would have spent the stream of payments and received no proceeds from the contract. When a Fund is the seller of 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 a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make (or the risk of loss) would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Fund may add economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract are accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and are recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation of the swap.
Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivative transactions, including certain credit default swaps. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty that is then cleared through a central clearinghouse. Upon acceptance of a swap by a central clearinghouse, the original swap is extinguished and replaced with a swap with the clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund's exposure to the credit risk of the original counterparty. A Fund typically will be required to post specified levels of both initial and variation margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared derivative transaction. The daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the centrally clearing party daily. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation and net interest received or paid on swap contracts to determine the fair value of swaps. For the year ended October 31, 2016, only the credit default index swaps in Absolute Return Multi-Manager were centrally cleared.
81
Futures contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, Absolute Return Multi-Manager used futures for economic hedging purposes and to enhance returns. Long Short Multi-Manager used futures for economic hedging purposes.
At the time a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with the futures commission merchant a specified amount of cash or liquid securities, known as "initial margin," which is a percentage of the value of the futures contract being traded that is set by the exchange upon which the futures contract is traded. Each day, the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the board of trade or U.S. commodity exchange on which such futures contract is traded. Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin," to and from the broker are made on a daily basis, or as needed, as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by a Fund 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 recognizes a gain or loss. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility there may be an illiquid market, possibly at a time of rapidly declining prices, and/or a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Futures executed on regulated futures exchanges have minimal counterparty risk to a Fund because the exchange's clearinghouse assumes the position of the counterparty in each transaction. Thus, a Fund is exposed to risk only in connection with the clearinghouse and not in connection with the original counterparty to the transaction.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the futures transactions undertaken by a Fund may cause that Fund to recognize gains or losses from marking contracts to market even though its positions have not been sold or terminated, may affect the character of the gains or losses recognized as long-term or short-term, and may affect the timing of some capital gains and losses realized by the Fund. Also, a Fund's losses on transactions involving futures contracts may be deferred rather than being taken into account currently in calculating such Fund's taxable income.
Equity swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, the Funds 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, basket of securities, security index or index component for the return based on a fixed or floating interest rate during the period of the swap. 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. If the other party to an equity swap defaults, a Fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that such 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, the 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.
Total return swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, the Funds used total return swaps to hedge certain indices and provide investment exposure to certain investments, primarily foreign securities.
Total return swaps involve commitments to pay fixed or floating rate interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the reference security or index underlying the total return swap exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Certain risks may arise when entering into total return swap transactions, including counterparty default, liquidity or unfavorable changes in the value of the underlying reference security or index. The value of total return swaps is adjusted daily and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received
82
or made at the end of each measurement period are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations.
Forward foreign currency contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2016, the Funds 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 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 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 Statements 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 obligations.
Options: For the year ended October, 31, 2016, the Funds used written options to generate incremental returns for the Funds. The Funds used purchased option contracts ("options purchased") to manage or adjust the risk profile and the investment exposure of the Fund to certain securities and to enhance returns.
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 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 covered call or put option that a Fund has written expires unexercised, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium.
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.

(b) Net Amount represents amounts subject to loss as of October 31, 2016, in the event of a counterparty failure.
(c) Net Amount represents amounts under-collateralized by the Fund to each counterparty as of October 31, 2016.
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: Absolute Return Multi-Manager may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. Absolute Return Multi-Manager is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower's discretion. As of October 31, 2016, there were no outstanding unfunded loan commitments.

17 Expense offset arrangement: Absolute Return Multi-Manager has an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the impact of this arrangement was a reduction of expenses of $2,127.
18 Other: All net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each Fund are allocated, on the basis of relative net assets, pro rata among its respective classes.
Note B—Investment Management Fees, Administration Fees, Distribution Arrangements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
Each Fund retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, each Fund pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 1.700% of the first $250 million of the Fund's 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. Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2016, the Investment Management fee pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 1.66% and 1.70% of Absolute Return Multi-Manager's and Long Short Multi- Manager's average daily net assets, respectively.
Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays
Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.06% of its average daily net assets under this agreement. In addition, Institutional Class of each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.09% of its average daily net assets, Class A and Class C of each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of its average daily net assets and Class R6 of Absolute Return Multi-Manager pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.02% of its average daily net assets under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains JPM as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays JPM a fee for all services received under the agreement.
Management 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, as of August 12, 2014, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, if any (commitment fees relating to borrowings are treated as interest for purposes of this exclusion); consequently, net expenses may exceed the contractual expense limitations. Each Fund has agreed that each of its respective classes will repay Management 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. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which Management incurred the expense. The expenses of the Subsidiary are included in the total expenses used to calculate the reimbursement, which Absolute Return Multi-Manager has agreed to share with the Subsidiary. For the year ended October 31, 2016, these Subsidiary expenses amounted to $199,574.
During the year ended October 31, 2016, the following classes repaid Management under their contractual expense limitation agreements as follows:

Until December 31, 2015, NB Alternative Investment Management LLC ("NBAIM"), was the investment adviser to the Funds, and was retained by Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("NBM") to provide day-to-day investment management services, including oversight of each Fund's investments and handling its day-to-day business, including the oversight of the subadvisers' investment activities, and received a monthly fee paid by NBM. As investment manager, NBM was responsible for overseeing the investment activities of NBAIM. Several individuals who are Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of NBAIM and/or Management. As a result of the entity consolidation described on page 8 of this Annual Report, the services previously provided by NBAIM are being provided by NBIA as of January 1, 2016.
Management has retained Blue Jay Capital Management, LLC, Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC, GAMCO Asset Management Inc., Good Hill Partners LP, GSA Capital Partners LLP, Lazard Asset Management LLC, Levin Capital Strategies, L.P., P/E Global, LLC, Portland Hill Capital LLP, Sound Point Capital Management, L.P., and TPH Asset Management, LLC as subadvisers of Absolute Return Multi-Manager to provide investment management services. Management engages Blue Jay Capital Management, LLC, Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC, Lazard Asset Management LLC, Levin Capital Strategies, L.P., Portland Hill Capital LLP, and TPH Asset Management, LLC as subadvisers of Long Short Multi-Manager to provide investment management services. Management compensates the subadvisers out of the investment advisory fees it receives from each Fund.
Each Fund also has a distribution agreement with Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger Berman") with respect to each class of shares. Neuberger Berman 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, Neuberger Berman 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, Neuberger Berman activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, Neuberger Berman 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. Neuberger Berman 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
91
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 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 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, 2016, 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:

Other: At October 31, 2016, there was an affiliated investor owning 48.3% of Long Short Multi-Manager's outstanding shares.
Note E—Lines of Credit:
At October 31, 2016, 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. Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund, Long Short Multi-Manager Fund, and another multi-managed fund in the complex are subject to a separate limitation under the Credit Facility and collectively can only borrow $200,000,000 at any one time. Series of other investment companies managed by Management also participate in this line of credit on substantially the same terms except that they are not subject to that $200,000,000 limitation. Interest is charged on borrowings under this Credit Facility at the higher of (a) a Federal Funds effective rate plus 1.00% per annum or (b) a Eurodollar rate for a one-month period 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 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 payable and the level of its access to the Credit Facility, 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, 2016. During the period ended October 31, 2016, none of the Funds utilized the line of credit.
Note F—Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.

@ Calculated based on the average number of shares outstanding during each fiscal period.
† 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 may 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 certain expenses. Total return would have been higher if Management had not recouped previously reimbursed and/or waived expenses.
d The class action proceeds listed in Note A-5 of the Notes to Financial Statements, if any, had no impact on the Funds' total returns for the year ended October 31, 2016.
# 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.
‡ Organization expense, which is a non-recurring expense, is included in these ratios on a non-annualized basis.
** Not annualized.
* Annualized.
^ The date investment operations commenced.
ß Consolidated financial highlights (see Note A in Notes to Financial Statements).
Ø After reimbursement of expenses and/or waiver of a portion of the investment management fee by Management. The Fund is required to calculate an expense ratio without taking into consideration any expense reductions related to expense offset arrangements. Had Absolute Return Multi-Manager not received expense reductions related to expense offset arrangements, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets would have been:

To the Board of Trustees of Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds and Shareholders of
Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund
Neuberger Berman Long Short Multi-Manager Fund
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund and Neuberger Berman Long Short Multi-Manager Fund (the "Trust"), two of the series constituting the Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds, including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2016, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for each of two years in the period the ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund and Neuberger Berman Long Short Multi-Manager Fund, at October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) or the Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreement with Management ("Management Agreement") and the separate sub-advisory agreements between Management and each sub-adviser (each a "Sub-Adviser" and collectively the "Sub-Advisers") with respect to Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund ("ARMM") and Neuberger Berman Long Short Multi-Manager Fund ("LSMM") (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"). With respect to ARMM, the Board considered the sub-advisory agreements between Management and each of the following sub-advisers: Blue Jay Capital Management, LLC, Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., Good Hill Partners LP, GSA Capital Partners LLP, Lazard Asset Management LLC, Levin Capital Strategies, L.P., Sound Point Capital Management, L.P., and TPH Asset Management, LLC (each a "Sub-Advisory Agreement"; collectively with the Management Agreement, the "Agreements"). With respect to LSMM, the Board considered the sub-advisory agreements among Management and each of the following sub-advisers: Blue Jay Capital Management, LLC, Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC, Lazard Asset Management LLC, Levin Capital Strategies, L.P., and TPH Asset Management, LLC (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 October 18, 2016, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreements for each Fund.
In evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed extensive materials provided by Management and each Sub-Adviser in response to questions submitted by the Independent Fund Trustees, 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 Funds. The annual contract review extends over at least three 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 investment performance reports and related portfolio information for each Fund, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; brokerage and execution; compliance; and shareholder and other services provided by Management and its affiliates. To assist the Board in its deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Board has established a Contract Review Committee comprised of Independent Fund Trustees. 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. The Ethics and Compliance Committee received each quarter from the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer and reviewed a summary of the quarterly compliance questionnaire completed by each Sub-adviser in addition to any other information provided between meetings. The Board also considered the size and staffing of certain Sub-advisers, as warranted, and particularly their staffing of the portfolio management and compliance functions. Those committees provide reports that feed into the Contract Review Committee, which reviews and takes account of the information.
The Independent Fund Trustees received from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Contract Review Committee and the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management and the Sub-advisers.
In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreements, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to each Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of each Fund and Fund shareholders. The Board considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to each Fund, including the following factors: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Management and the Sub-advisers; (2) the
114
investment performance of each Fund compared to an appropriate market index and a peer group of investment companies, and the contribution of each sleeve to each Fund's overall performance; (3) the costs of the services provided and the profit or loss realized by Management and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been or might be realized as each Fund grows; and (5) whether fee or service levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund's shareholders. The Board also inquired whether there are any other business relationships between Neuberger Berman and the Sub-advisers that might result in the negotiations between them being less than arms-length.
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 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 overall costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Funds, their shareholders.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of Management and each Sub-adviser, 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 Funds. The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance services. The Board also reviewed whether Management used brokers to execute Fund transactions that provide research and other services to Management and the types of benefits potentially derived from such services by Management, the Funds and other clients of Management. The Board noted that Management and the Funds had obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission an exemptive order that permitted Management to add or replace sub-advisers to the Funds 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 each 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 Management would in the future have to due diligence additional sub-advisers. The Board noted that Management is responsible for allocating each Fund's portfolio among the various Sub-advisers and determining when and how to rebalance the allocations among the Sub-advisers in the wake of disparate growth and changes in the markets and the broader economy, to make certain other investment decisions and to engage in transactions to hedge or balance risks in the Sub-advisers' portfolios.
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 each Fund as a whole, in addition to other significant oversight responsibilities. The Board also considered that Management's responsibilities include daily management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and considered information regarding Management's processes for managing risk. The Board also considered the experience and staffing of the portfolio management and investment research personnel of Management, and the general structure of Management's portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each Fund.
The Board also considered the size and scope of the activities necessary to periodically evaluate the compliance programs and other operational aspects of each Sub-adviser. In addition, the Board considered the scope and compliance history of the compliance programs of Management and each Sub-adviser, including the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer's and Management's assessment of the compliance programs of the Sub-advisers. 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 Funds. The Board discussed that
115
Management's Chief Information Security Officer had evaluated the Sub-advisers' responses on questions of cybersecurity, business continuity and disaster recovery. As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various non-routine 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, such as regulatory concerns about changes in fixed-income market liquidity and potential volatility, and considered the overall performance of Management in this context.
The Board considered the policies and practices regarding brokerage and allocation of portfolio transactions of each of the Sub-advisers and noted that Management monitored the quality of the execution services provided by each Sub-adviser.
The Board factored into its evaluation of the Funds' fees and performance a consideration of the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing peer groups and determining which investment companies should be included in the peer groups. With respect to investment performance, the Board considered information regarding each Fund's short-, intermediate-, and long-term performance, as applicable, both on an absolute basis and relative to an appropriate benchmark index and the average performance of a composite peer group (as constructed by an independent organization) of investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies. The Board also considered information regarding each Sub-adviser's performance. The Board also reviewed the Funds' performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the Fund. In the case of those Funds or Sub-advisers that had underperformed their benchmark indices and/or peer groups, the Board discussed with Management each Fund's and Sub-adviser's performance and steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance. The Board also considered Management's responsiveness with respect to the Funds that experienced lagging performance. It also considered that the nature of the Funds makes it difficult to find an appropriate market index or truly comparable peer group. 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 Funds' Agreements and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreements notwithstanding a Fund's underperformance.
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out (i.e. indirect) benefits likely to accrue to Management and its affiliates from its relationship with the Funds. The Board also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with the Funds, and year-over-year changes in each of Management's reported expense categories.
The Board reviewed a comparison of each Fund's management fee and total expense ratio to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in each Fund's management fees, the separate administrative fees paid to Management, but it was not clear whether this was the case for all funds in the peer group. The Board compared each Fund's contractual and actual management fees to the mean and 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.) Where a Fund's management fee was higher than the peer group mean and/or median, the Board considered whether specific portfolio management, administration or oversight needs contributed to the management fee. In addition, the Board considered the contractual limit on expenses of certain classes of each Fund. Management indicated that similar comparative information was not available with respect to the amount paid to each Sub-adviser. The Board did, however, consider the allocation of duties and responsibilities among Management and the Sub-advisers and, in light of that, the amount of fees retained by each. The Board noted, however, that Management, and not the Funds, pays the fee to the Sub-advisers. The Board also noted that for some classes of certain Funds, the overall expense ratio of each class is maintained through expense reimbursements by Management. 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 considered the fees the Sub-advisers charge for similar products, if any. In prior years, the Board also considered fees charged to an unregistered fund of funds managed by Management that uses some of the same strategies used by the Funds and noted differences that reduced the usefulness of the comparison. With regard to the investment performance of each Fund and the costs of the services provided to each Fund, the Board considered the following information. Where a Fund has more than one class of shares
116
outstanding, information for a single class has been provided as identified below. For each Fund, the Board looked at the Institutional Class as provided below as a proxy for all of the Fund's classes:
• Neuberger Berman Absolute Return Multi-Manager Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee was lower than the median, but the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was higher than the median. The Board considered that as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1-year period, and equal to the median for the 3-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period, but higher for the 3-year period. The Fund was launched in 2012 and therefore does not have 5 or 10-year performance.
• Neuberger Berman Long Short Multi-Manager Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median, but the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was lower than the median. The Board considered that as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period. The Fund was launched in 2013 and therefore does not have 5 or 10-year performance.
The Board also evaluated any 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 and whether any such breakpoints are set at appropriate asset levels. As in past years, the Board gave careful thought to the size of any breakpoints in the Funds' advisory fees and the asset levels at which they are set. It also considered whether the fees were set at an appropriate level and compared the fee structures to that of the peer group. The Board also considered that Management has provided, at no added cost to the Funds, certain additional services that were required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape, and/or requested by the Board. In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to the Funds, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period. The Board also considered Management's cost allocation methodology. It also considered whether any of the Sub-Advisory Agreements will provide for breakpoints in the fees and, as a general matter, the way in which such breakpoints should factor into the fees paid by the Funds. The Board considered the profitability of Management and recognized that Management should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services it provides to the Funds, and, based on its review, concluded that the reported level of profitability of Management, if any, was reasonable.
Conclusions as to Existing Agreements
In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board concluded that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable to each Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and each Sub-adviser could be expected 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 it retained confidence in Management's and each Sub-adviser'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 the Funds were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund. The Board's conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreements in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual review of the Agreements.

At meetings held on March 22-23, 2016, the Board of the Trust ("Board"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) or the Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), evaluated and approved the separate sub-advisory agreement ("Sub-Advisory Agreement") between Management and P/E Investments LLC (an "Additional Subadviser"), which will be responsible for managing a portion of the assets of the Fund. Throughout the process, the Independent Fund Trustees were advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management ("Independent Counsel").
In evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed extensive materials furnished by the Additional Subadviser in response to questions submitted by Management, the Board and Independent Counsel, and met with representatives of Management regarding the Additional Subadviser's personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Fund. In addition, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, met with representatives of the Additional Subadviser regarding its personnel and operations.
The Board noted that Management and the Fund had obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission an exemptive order that permitted Management to add or replace subadvisers to the Fund without a shareholder vote, provided the Independent Fund Trustees approve the new subadviser and certain other steps are taken and that Management, pursuant to its agreement with the Fund and related subadviser oversight policies and procedures approved by the Board, is responsible for overseeing the Additional Subadviser.
In connection with its approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board evaluated the overall fairness of the Sub-Advisory Agreement to the Fund and whether the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to the Fund, including the following factors, among others, in connection with its approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Additional Subadviser; and (2) the expected costs of the services to be provided. The Board's determination to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board. In their deliberations, 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 overall costs and benefits of the Sub-Advisory Agreement to the Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Additional Subadviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of the Additional Subadviser and the qualifications, experience and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of the Additional Subadviser who would perform services for the Fund. The Board reviewed the performance for accounts managed by the Additional Subadviser that were substantially similar in strategy to the strategy the Additional Subadviser will use for the Fund, noting that the accounts may not be subject to the same 1940 Act restrictions as the Fund. The Board considered the policies and practices regarding brokerage and allocation of portfolio transactions of the Additional Subadviser and noted that Management would monitor the quality of the execution services provided by the Additional Subadviser.
The Board also reviewed whether the Additional Subadviser would use brokers to execute transactions for the Fund that provide research and other services to the Additional Subadviser, and the types of benefits potentially derived from such services by the Additional Subadviser, the Fund and other clients of the Additional Subadviser. The Board also considered the compliance programs and compliance history of the Additional Subadviser, including the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer's and Management's assessment of the compliance programs of the Additional Subadviser. The Board also considered whether there were any pending lawsuits, enforcement proceedings or regulatory investigations involving the Additional Subadviser, and reviewed information regarding its financial condition, history of operations and any conflicts of interest in managing the Fund.
118
With respect to the overall fairness of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had previously considered the Fund's fee structure as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out (i.e. indirect) benefits likely to accrue to Management or its affiliates. Management indicated that similar comparative information was not available with respect to the amount paid to the Additional Subadviser. The Board did, however, consider an estimate of the costs of the services to be provided and estimated profit or loss that would be realized by Management as a result of adding the Additional Subadviser. The Board also considered that the Additional Subadviser had no products managed in a similar style to the strategy it would use for the Fund. The Board noted, however, that Management, and not the Fund, pays the fee to the Additional Subadviser and therefore the fees charged by the Additional Subadviser will not change the overall expenses of the Fund. The Board also considered whether there are other business arrangements between Management and the Additional Subadviser that could give rise to potential conflicts. It considered whether the Sub-Advisory Agreement will or should provide for breakpoints in the fees and, as a general matter, the way in which any such breakpoints should factor into the fees paid by the Fund.
Conclusions as to Additional Sub-Advisory Agreement
In approving the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable to the Fund and that approval of the Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that the Additional Subadviser could be expected to provide a high level of service to the Fund; that the Additional Subadviser's fees appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided; and that the benefits expected to accrue to the Additional Subadviser and its affiliates and Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Fund were reasonable in light of the expected costs of providing the sub-advisory services and the benefits expected to accrue to the Fund.
