___________________________All information as of June 30, 2011, except as otherwise noted. Reflects collective data for the various affiliated investment advisers that are subsidiaries of Neuberger Berman Group LLC (the “firm”). See Additional Disclosures at the end of this piece, which are an important part of this presentation, for the definition of “investment professionals" and certain exclusions.

1. As of 30/06/11, 49% of the total firm equity and fixed income Assets Under Management (“AUM”) outperformed on a 3-year basis and 75% on a 5-year basis. The AUM outperformance results are based on the overall performance of each individual investment strategy against its respective strategy benchmark and results are asset weighted so strategies with the largest amount of assets under management have the largest impact on the results. Individual strategies may have experienced negative performance during certain periods of time. Hedge fund, private equity and other private investment vehicle assets are not reflected in the outperformance results shown. See Additional Disclosures and the end of the material which are an important part of this presentation and contain additional information regarding AUM outperformance statistics. Unless otherwise indicated, returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Investing entails risks, including possible loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Historically Inefficient and Strong Equity Market

Vast number of companies are not covered by sell-side research due to:

– Pace of universe growth; relatively active IPO market (China/HK is leading IPO market) with a large volume of new listings

– Breadth of market size; over 4,000 potential companies representing over USD $6.8trn in market capitalization 1

– Complexity of company access, relationships and knowledge of regulatory environment Market size and lack of analyst coverage can lead to inefficiencies, potentially creating significant potential

opportunities for investors

Greater China Listed Companies – Overview1

___________________________1. Bloomberg. Goldman Sachs Strategy Research as of June 30, 2011. Non-tradable shares are not listed or traded publicly on organized exchanges. Market cap for such shares is calculated using available tradable share prices, which may over-estimate the true economic size of the company. All of the shares issued are listed on organized exchanges (a.k.a. tradable) for red chips, P chips and others. Public float of such shares, however, varies. For stocks without

free float data, 30% float on share-class number of shares is assumed. Number of A-share companies includes those with A-H or A-B dual listings. Numbers of H-share, red chip, P chip and other companies include only primary listings.

No part of this document may be reproduced in any manner without the written permission of NB Europe. Shares in the Fund are offered only on the basis of the information contained in the prospectus, simplified prospectus and the latest audited annual accounts and any subsequent half-yearly accounts of the Fund.

Please note that any dividends which the Fund may receive are subject to a 30% withholding tax in the US. The benchmark does not take into account the effects of tax and the deduction is therefore not reflected in the benchmark return illustrated herein.

The investment objective and performance benchmark is a target only and not a guarantee of the Fund performance. Adverse movements in currency exchange rates can result in a decrease in return and a loss of capital. Investments of each portfolio may be fully hedged into its base currency potentially reducing currency risks but may expose the portfolio to other risks such as a default of a counterparty.

Small cap companies carry greater risk and are less liquid that larger companies. High Yield Bonds carry a higher level of default risk and can be less liquid than government bonds and investment grade corporate bonds.

The Neuberger Berman Diversified Currency Fund may invest more than 35% of its net assets in transferable securities and money market instruments issued by an OECD government.

Economies in Emerging Markets are generally less well regulated and may be adversely affected by trade barriers, exchange controls, protectionist measures and political / social instability. There is a risk of volatility due to lower liquidity and the availability of reliable information.

Real estate investments are subject to greater potential risks and volatility than a more diversified portfolio, and the share values may decline due to events affecting the real estate industry. The properties held by REITs could fall in value for a variety of reasons, such as declines in rental income, poor property management, environmental liabilities, uninsured damage, increased competition, or changes in real estate tax laws. There is also a risk that REIT stock prices overall will decline over short or even long periods because of rising interest rates.
