C Share Update

The Neuberger Berman Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited targets income generation whilst seeking to preserve investors' capital and give protection against rising interest rates.

The Fund's managers seek to generate this yield by investing in a global portfolio of below investment grade senior secured corporate loans with selective use of senior secured bonds, diversified by both borrower and industry. The Fund is managed by three experienced Portfolio Managers backed by what we believe to be one of the largest and most experienced credit teams in the industry.

The Portfolio, as at 31 May 2013:

·     was split 89.75% USD, 7.30% EUR, 2.42% GBP (excluding Cash)

·     had 5.91% allocated to bonds out of the maximum 20% allowable

·     was invested primarily in B (54.68%) and Ba (36.87%) rated investments¹
