For Professional Client Use Only

This Fund is classified as complex under MIFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) and therefore will not be suitable for all investors. Investors should

familiarise with the risks that are associated with the fund as disclosed within the fund prospectus.

This Fund can accept subscriptions and redemptions on a fortnightly basis, and does not offer daily dealing. Investors should familiarise themselves with the dealing

cycle and terms associated with subscriptions and redemptions as disclosed within the prospectus.

The dealing deadline for the Fund is six days in advance of the dealing date, therefore investors should familiarise themselves with the risks associated with market

movements in the intervening period between dealing cut-off and dealing.

The Fund may invest in instruments that have long settlement periods, such as primary issue Collateralised Loan Obligation (CLO) securities.

The Fund’s investments in CLOs will be frequently subordinate in right of payment to other securities sold by the applicable CLO and may not be readily

marketable. Depending upon the payment and default rates on the collateral of the CLO, the Fund may incur substantial losses on its investments. CLO securities are

generally illiquid and dealer marks and valuations provided may not represent prices where assets can actually be purchased or sold in the market from time to

time. Accordingly, the mark-to-market value of CLOs may be volatile and the value of the Interests could likewise be volatile.

1. As of August 31, 2018. 2. Institutional-oriented equity and fixed income assets under management (“AUM”) includes the firm’s equity and fixed income institutional separate account (“ISA”), registered fund, and managed account/wrap (“MAG”) offerings and are based on the overall performance of each individual investment offering against its respective benchmark. High net worth/private asset management (“HNW”) AUM is excluded. If HNW AUM were included, the percentage of AUM outperforming the benchmark since inception period would have been 75% for equities and 84% for fixed income. Equity and Fixed Income AUM outperformance results are asset-weighted so individual offerings with the largest amount of assets under management have the largest impact on the results. Please see additional disclosures for important information regarding Private Equity methodology. All performance data for NB Private Equity funds, public and private indices data is as of December 31, 2017. Results are shown gross of fees. Individual offerings may have experienced negative performance during certain periods of time. See Additional Disclosures for additional information regarding the outperformance statistics shown (including 3-, 5- and 10-yr statistics for institutional-oriented equity and fixed income). Indexes are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment. Investing entails risks, including possible loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Investment Thesis For CLO Mezzanine Debt

CLO Debt can offer economic and fundamental advantages over other asset classes

_______________________

Historical trends do not imply, forecast, or guarantee future results. Please see the Risk Considerations section of this presentation. 1. Source: Bloomberg, JP Morgan, as of 9/30/2018. Data shown represents CLO yield to maturity, loan yield to maturity, bond yield to worst. Benchmarks used were the BAML Corporate Bond Indices and JP Morgan CLO

Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. Excludes defaulted issuers.

Why CLO Debt?

• Yield - CLO debt can provide attractive risk-adjusted

yield relative to comparably rated corporates1

• Floating Rate - CLO debt is generally indexed to 3m

LIBOR

• Credit Quality - Underlying loan portfolio contains at

least 90-95% first-lien senior secured loans

• Diversification - CLOs typically contain 150-200 loans

from different issuers across a diversified set of industries

• Structural Protection - Significant credit enhancement

against losses in the underlying loan portfolios

• Rating Stability - Very limited downgrade risk

How Does A CLO Work?

CLOs attempt to capture the excess spread between the coupon on the assets and the

cost of debt for the benefit of the CLO equity investors

Risk Considerations

An investment in notes in a CLO Income fund involves risks. The following list of risk factors is a preliminary summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed description of the

risk factors described in the 'investment risk' section of the prospectus for details.

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

perception of the global economy. Volatility in Market. In recent years, securities issued in securitization transactions have experienced significant fluctuations in market value and accordingly

high price volatility relative to historical experience. There is no assurance that such volatility will not continue or (to the extent it has eased) return.

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

requests upon demand. CLO securities are generally illiquid and dealer marks and valuations provided may not represent prices where assets can actually be purchased or sold in the market

from time to time. Accordingly, the mark-to-market value of CLOs maybe volatile and the value of the relevant interests could likewise be volatile.

Credit Risk: The risk that debt instrument issuers may fail to meet their interest repayments, or repay debt, resulting in temporary or permanent losses to the Fund.

Interest Rate Risk: The risk of interest rate movements affecting the value of fixed-rate bonds.

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

events.

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

Currency Risk: Investors who subscribe in a currency other than the base currency of the Fund are exposed to currency risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates may affect the return on

investment.

Default Risk: As a holder of CLO equity, a Portfolio will have limited remedies available upon the default of an obligor of the collateral underlying such CLO. For example, from time to time,

the market for CLO transactions has been adversely affected by a decrease in the availability of senior and subordinated financing for transactions, in part in response to regulatory pressures

on providers of financing to reduce or eliminate their exposure to such transactions.

Concentration. The concentration of an underlying portfolio in any one obligor would subject the related CLOs to a greater degree of risk with respect to defaults by such obligor, and the

concentration of a portfolio in any one industry would subject the related CLOs to a greater degree of risk with respect to economic downturns relating to such industry.

Collateral Risk: The collateral may primarily consist of non-investment grade senior secured loans, which have greater credit and liquidity risk than more highly-rated securities. The

collateral may include debt obligations which may be unsecured, or may have been issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions or may be subordinated to certain other

obligations of the underlying obligors. The lower rating of these obligations reflects a greater possibility that adverse changes in the financial condition of an obligor or in general economic

conditions or both may impair the ability of such obligor to make payments of principal and interest.

CLO Issuer Risk: The issuer of a CLO will generally be a newly formed entity. As a newly formed entity, the issuer will have no prior operating history. The issuer will have no significant

assets other than the collateral (portfolio investments and other assets of the issuer). CLO issuers may acquire interests in loans and other debt obligations by way of sale, assignment or

participation. The purchaser of an assignment typically becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the loan or debt obligation; however, its rights can be more restricted

than those of the assigning institution. In purchasing participations, a CLO issuer will usually have a contractual relationship only with the selling institution, and not the borrower. The CLO

issuer generally will have neither the right directly to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, nor have the

right to object to certain changes to the loan agreement agreed to by the selling institution. The CLO issuer may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the related loan and may be

subject to any rights of set-off the borrower has against the selling institution. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the selling institution, under U.S. federal and state laws, the CLO

issuer may be treated as a general creditor of such selling institution, and may not have any exclusive or senior claim with respect to the selling institution’s interest in, or the collateral with

respect to, the loan. Consequently, the CLO may be subject to the credit risk of the selling institution as well as of the borrower.

Risk Considerations

Credit Ratings. Any credit ratings of certain of the notes, or the loans and other assets that may comprise the collateral, represent the rating agencies’ opinions regarding their credit quality

and are not a guarantee of future credit performance of such securities. Rating agencies attempt to evaluate the safety of principal and interest payments and do not evaluate the risks of

fluctuations in market value. Therefore, the ratings assigned to securities by rating agencies may not fully reflect the true risks of an investment. Also, the rating agencies may not make timely

changes in credit ratings in response to subsequent events so that an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. Ratings may be subject to revision or

withdrawal by a rating agency at any time including to the extent the issuer doesn’t comply with its obligation under European and US regulatory and supervisory framework. Rating

reductions or withdrawals may occur for any number of reasons and may affect numerous assets at a single time or within a short period of time, which in turn may have a material adverse

effect upon the notes.

Leveraged Capital Structure. A CLO will generally be substantially leveraged. Use of leverage is a speculative investment technique and involves certain risks to investors in the notes. The

leverage provided to the issuer by the issuance of the notes will result in interest expense and other costs incurred in connection with such borrowings that may not be covered by the net

interest income, dividends or other proceeds of the collateral or any appreciation thereof. The use of leverage generally magnifies the issuer’s opportunity for gain and risk of loss.

Subordinated CLO security risk. A substantial amount of the Fund’s investments may be subordinated to most or all other securities of the relevant CLO issuer and most or all other

amounts due under the priority of payments set forth in the operative documents of such CLO issuer. As such, the greatest risk of loss relating to defaults in the collateral underlying such

CLO is borne by the Fund’s investments. The Fund, therefore, as holder of such investments, will rank behind most or all of the creditors, whether secured or unsecured and known or

unknown, of such CLO issuer. Further, CLO equity will not be a secured debt of the applicable CLO. In addition, the senior most class of notes then outstanding in the capital structure (the

“Controlling Class”) will be entitled to exercise certain rights which are superior and may be detrimental to the holders of any class of notes which is subordinated to the Controlling Class.

Payments in Respect of the Subordinated Notes. The issuer will generally pledge substantially all of its assets to secure the secured notes and certain other obligations pursuant to an

indenture. The proceeds of such assets will only be available to make payments in respect of the subordinated notes as and when such proceeds are released from the lien of such indenture

in accordance with the priority of payments that will be set forth therein. There can be no assurance that, after payment of principal and interest on the secured notes and other fees and

expenses in accordance with such priority of payments, the issuer will have funds remaining to make distributions in respect of the subordinated notes.

General Market Risk with Respect to Collateral Performance. Negative economic trends nationally as well as in specific geographic areas of the United States continue to be indicators of

potential loan defaults and delinquencies. The levels of defaults and delinquencies have been increasing and/or volatile, and there is a material possibility that economic activity will continue

to be volatile or to slow. Some obligors may have been significantly and negatively impacted by such negative economic trends. A continuing decreased ability of obligors to obtain

refinancing (particularly as high levels of required refinancings approach) may result in a further economic decline that could delay an economic recovery and cause a further deterioration in

loan performance generally. There is no way to determine whether such trends in the credit markets will improve or worsen in the future.

Illiquidity in the CLO, Leveraged Finance and Fixed Income Markets may Affect the Holders of Notes. A severe liquidity crisis in the global credit markets has resulted in substantial

fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and high-yield debt securities and limited liquidity for such instruments. No assurance can be made that the conditions giving rise to such price

fluctuations and limited liquidity will not continue or become more acute. During periods of limited liquidity and higher price volatility, an issuer's ability to acquire or dispose of collateral at a

price and time that the issuer deems advantageous may be severely impaired. Regardless of current or future market conditions, certain items of collateral purchased by an issuer will have

only a limited trading market (or none). Illiquid debt obligations may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments.

No Information on the Obligors. Investors generally have limited rights to obtain from the collateral manager information regarding the obligors on the collateral. The collateral manager may

from time to time receive material non-public information or other notices with respect to assets comprising the collateral or the obligors thereon which they will not be required to disclose to

investors. The collateral manager has no obligation to keep investors informed as to matters arising in relation to any obligors on the collateral.

No Market for Notes. Transfer Restrictions. Generally no market will exist for CLO notes. If a secondary market does develop, there can be no assurance that it will provide holders of notes

with liquidity on investment or that it will continue for the life of notes. In addition, CLO notes are subject to certain transfer restrictions. Consequently, an investor in CLO notes must be

prepared to hold such notes for an indefinite period of time or until their stated maturity.

Risk Considerations

Final Maturity, Average Life and Prepayment Considerations. The average lives of notes are expected to be shorter than the number of years until the final stated maturity date, and their

average lives may vary due to various factors affecting the early retirement of the collateral, the timing and amount of sales of collateral and the ability of the collateral manager to invest in

additional collateral. Retirement of the collateral prior to final maturity will depend, among other things, on the financial condition of the obligors on the underlying collateral and the respective

characteristics of such collateral, including the existence and frequency of exercise of any optional redemption, mandatory redemption or sinking fund features, the prevailing level of interest

rates, the redemption prices, the actual default rates and the actual amount collected on any defaulted collateral and the frequency of tender or exchange offers for such collateral. In

particular, loans are generally prepayable at par, and a high proportion of loans could be prepaid. The ability of the issuer to reinvest proceeds in securities with comparable interest rates that

satisfy the reinvestment criteria specified herein may affect the timing and amount of payments received by the holders of notes and the yield to maturity of notes.

Limited Recourse Obligations. CLO notes will be limited recourse obligations of the issuer and secured notes will be non-recourse obligations of the co-issuer. Distributions of interest on

and principal of notes will be payable solely from the collateral pledged to secure the secured notes. The issuer, as a special purpose entity, will have no significant assets other than the

collateral. The issuer will not be obligated to make any payments on notes from a source other than such pledged collateral. No person other than the co-issuers will be obligated to make

payments on the notes. Consequently, holders of the notes must rely solely upon distributions on the collateral for the payment of amounts payable in respect of the notes. If distributions on

such collateral are insufficient to make payments on the notes, no other assets of the issuer or any other person or entity will be available for the payment of the deficiency.

Projections. Cash-flow projections are based on assumptions that are unlikely to be consistent with, and may differ materially from, actual events. Actual events will vary from projections and

the variations may be material. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections include the actual composition of the portfolio, and defaults in

respect of the portfolio, the timing of any defaults and recoveries, changes in interest rates, loan prepayments, price of assets, spread on assets, liquidity of loans, the ability of the issuer to

reinvest in new assets or remain fully invested, and any weakening of the specific investments included in the portfolio, among others.

Collateral Manager: Performance. The collateral manager’s performance history in other transactions may not be indicative of future results including any results it may achieve in this

transaction. The nature and risks associated with the issuer’s future investments may differ materially from those investments and strategies historically undertaken by the collateral manager.

There can be no assurance that the collateral manager or the persons associated with it or any other entity or person will realize returns comparable to those achieved in the past or generally

available in the market. Because the composition of the collateral will vary over time, the performance of the notes depends heavily on the skills of the collateral manager in analyzing,

selecting and managing the collateral. As a result, the issuer will be highly dependent on the analytical and managerial experience of the collateral manager and certain of its officers and

employees to whom the task of managing the collateral has been assigned.

Collateral Manager: Conflict of Interests. Various potential and actual conflicts of interest may arise from the overall investment activity of the collateral manager and its affiliates and the

payment of management fees to the collateral manager.

Recent Developments with Respect to LIBOR. Recent information has called into question the integrity of the process for determining LIBOR, and the full implications of such information is

unknown at this time. An inaccurate LIBOR setting could have adverse effects on a CLO issuer and/or the holders of secured notes. For example, holders of secured notes would receive

lower dollar amounts as interest payments if LIBOR was artificially lower than a properly functioning market would otherwise set LIBOR. Other negative consequences of the perceived

inaccuracy of LIBOR could include fewer loans utilizing LIBOR as an index for interest payments and/or erratic swings in LIBOR, both of which could result in interest rate mismatches

between the issuer's assets and its liabilities and expose the issuer to cash shortfalls. Furthermore, questions surrounding the integrity in process for determining LIBOR may have other

unforeseen consequences, including potential litigation against banks and/or obligors on loans, which could result in a material and adverse effect on the issuer or the holders of notes.

In addition, recent events have indicated that the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority intends to cease sustaining LIBOR from the end of 2021, and for the development of alternative

benchmark rates. As of the date hereof, no specific alternative rates have been generally agreed in the market for debt obligations similar to CLO notes or underlying obligations. It is possible

that the LIBOR administrator and the panel banks could continue to produce LIBOR on the current basis after 2021, if they are willing and able to do so. However, the survival of LIBOR in its

current form, or at all, is not guaranteed until or after 2021 and, if LIBOR in its current form does not survive, it could cause a disruption in the credit markets generally, which could negatively

impact the market value and/or transferability of CLO securities and/or underlying senior floating rate loans.

Risk Considerations

Risks of Investing in Loans. The underlying collateral will be comprised primarily of loans, which will be obligations of corporations, partnerships or other entities or participation interests in

such loans. Loans may become non-performing for a variety of reasons. Nonperforming loans may require substantial workout negotiations or restructuring that may entail, among other

things, a substantial reduction in the interest rate and/or a substantial write-down of the principal of a loan, in addition to the devotion of substantial resources of the manager and the

incurrence of substantial costs to the CLO. In addition, because of the unique and customised nature of a loan agreement and the private syndication of a loan, certain loans may not be

purchased or sold as easily or as quickly as publicly traded securities, and historically the trading volume in the loan market has been small relative to the corporate bond market. Loans may

encounter settlement delays which may be significant due to their unique and customised nature, and transfers may require the consent of an agent bank, borrower or other persons.

Risk Retention: Beginning 1 January 2019, the Fund will become subject to certain risk retention and due diligence requirements. Amongst other things, these requirements will restrict the

Fund from investing in a CLO unless: (i) the originator, sponsor or original lender in respect of the relevant CLO has explicitly disclosed that it will retain, on an on-going basis, a net economic

interest of not less than 5% in respect of certain specified credit risk tranches or securitised exposures; and (ii) the Fund is able to demonstrate that it has undertaken certain due diligence in

respect of various matters. The Fund may be required to dispose of any CLOs that are non-compliant. Under such circumstances, the Fund could sustain losses.

Composite Description • The CLO Mezzanine Composite (the "Composite") includes the performance of all fee-paying CLO Mezzanine portfolios, with no minimum investment, managed on a fully discretionary basis by the Non Investment Grade Fixed Income team. The

CLO Mezzanine strategy is designed for investors who seek to achieve total returns relative to a broad CLO mezzanine index. The principal objectives are high current income, lower volatility and capital preservation achieved through the avoidance of credit deterioration in the underlying portfolios, manager selection, and focus on structural protections. The Composite creation and performance inception date is August 2015. A complete list of Neuberger Berman's composites is available upon request.

Primary Benchmark Description • The benchmark is the JPM Collateralized Loan Obligation Index ("CLOIE"). The index is reflects the market for broadly-syndicated, arbitrage CLOs denominated in US dollars. CLOIE is divided by time period of origination (pre versus post crisis)

and is broken out further into five original rating classes (AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB). The specific benchmark for the CLO Mezzanine Strategy is the Post-Crisis BB CLOIE. The index is rebalanced monthly with daily reported index values.

Reporting Currency • Valuations are computed and performance is reported in U.S. Dollars.

Fees • Composite Gross of Fee returns are the return on investments reduced by any trading expenses incurred during the period. Composite Net of Fee returns are the Gross of Fee returns reduced by investment advisory fees.

Fee Schedule • The annual investment advisory fee, generally payable quarterly, is as follows: 0.70% on the first $50mn; 0.65% on the next $50mn; 0.50% thereafter.

Internal Dispersion • Internal dispersion is calculated using the asset-weighted standard deviation of annual gross returns of those portfolios that were in the Composite for the entire year. Internal dispersion is not calculated if the Composite does not contain at least 6

portfolios for the entire year.

Annualized Standard Deviation • The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the Composite and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period. The standard deviation is not required for periods prior to 2011. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please see attached important disclosures which contain complete performance information and definitions.

Institutional-Oriented Equity and Fixed Income AUM Benchmark Outperformance Note: Institutional-oriented equity and fixed income assets under management (“AUM”) includes the firm’s equity and fixed income institutional

separate account (“ISA”), registered fund, and managed account/wrap (“MAG”) offerings and are based on the overall performance of each individual investment offering against its respective benchmark offerings and are based on

the overall performance of each individual investment offering against its respective benchmark. High net worth/private asset management (“HNW”) AUM is excluded. For the period ending June 30, 2018, the percentage of total

institutional-oriented equity AUM outperforming the benchmark was as follows: Since Inception: 90%; 10-year: 44%; 5-year: 78%; and 3-year: 73%; and total institutional-oriented fixed income AUM outperforming was as follows:

Since Inception: 95%, 10-year: 82%; 5-year: 69%; and 3-year: 68%. If HNW AUM were included, total equity AUM outperforming the benchmark was as follows: Since Inception: 88%; 10-year: 31%; 5-year: 55%; and 3-year: 53%; and

total fixed income AUM outperforming was as follows: Since Inception: 94%; 10-year: 82%; 5-year: 69%; and 3-year: 68%. Equity and Fixed Income AUM outperformance results are asset weighted so individual offerings with the

largest amount of assets under management have the largest impact on the results. As of 6/30/2018, six institutional-oriented equity offerings accounted for approximately 54% of the total firm institutional-oriented equity AUM

reflected, and nine institutional-oriented fixed income offerings accounted for approximately 53% of the total firm institutional-oriented fixed income AUM reflected. Performance for the individual offerings reflected are available upon

request. AUM for multi-asset class, balanced and alternative (including long-short equity or fixed income) offerings, as well as AUM for hedge fund, private equity and other private investment vehicle offerings are not reflected in the

AUM outperformance results shown. AUM outperformance is based on gross of fee returns. Gross of fee returns do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees and other expenses. If such fees and expenses were reflected,

AUM outperformance results would be lower. Investing entails risk, including possible loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Private Equity Outperformance Note: The performance information includes all funds, both commingled and custom, managed by NB Alternatives Advisers LLC with vintage years of 2005 – 2015, with the exception of a closed-end,

public investment company registered under the laws of Guernsey (the “Funds”). Accounts that are only monitored are excluded. Vintage years post 2015 are excluded as benchmark information is not yet available. Please note that

private debt funds are also excluded as benchmark data is not yet available for the applicable vintages.

Percentages are based on the number of funds, calculated as the total number of funds whose performance exceeds their respective benchmarks divided by the total number of all funds with vintage years of 2005 through 2015.

Performance is measured by net IRR, MOIC, and DPI and is compared to the respective index’s median net IRR, MOIC and DPI, respectively. The Cambridge Secondary Index was used for secondary-focused funds; the Cambridge

Buyout and Growth Equity for US and Developed Europe was used for co-investment-focused funds; the Cambridge Fund of Funds Index was used for commingled funds and custom portfolios comprised of primaries, secondaries

and co-investments; and the Cambridge Global Private Equity was used for strategies focused on minority stakes in asset managers fund and healthcare credit.

The Cambridge Associates LLC indices data is as of December 31, 2017, which is the most recent data available. The Cambridge Associates Fund of Funds Index is the benchmark recommended by the CFA Institute for

benchmarking overall private equity fund of funds performance. The benchmark relies on private equity funds self-reporting data for compilation and as such is subject to the quality of the data provided. The median net multiple of

Cambridge Associates Fund of Funds Index is presented for each vintage year as of December 31, 2017, the most recent available. Cambridge Associates data provided at no charge.

While one of the secondary funds closed in 2008, Cambridge Associates classifies that particular fund as a 2007 vintage year fund (the year of its formation) and, therefore, the Cambridge Associates benchmarks used herein are for

2007 vintage year funds.

Private Offerings: Certain strategies referenced herein may only be available through a private offering of interests made pursuant to offering and subscription documents, which will be furnished solely to qualified investors on a

confidential basis at their request for their consideration in connection with an offering. These documents will contain information about the investment objective, terms and conditions of an investment in such vehicle and will also

contain tax information and risk disclosures that are important to an investment decision. Any decision to invest in such vehicle should be made after a careful review of these documents, the conduct of such investigations as an

investor deems necessary or appropriate and after consultation with legal, accounting, tax and other advisors in order to make an independent determination of the suitability and consequences of an investment in such vehicle.
