Private Equity Market Update
In 2023 and through the first quarter of 2024, the U.S. economy averted a recession and continued to grow steadily despite many predictions to the contrary. Real GDP growth was reported at 2.5% in 2023 vs. 1.9% in 2022,1 while the unemployment rate remained impressively low at 3.6% in 2023 (flat vs. 2022), which we believe reflected the strength of the labor market and the U.S. economy as a whole.2 This was particularly remarkable in light of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s continued efforts to combat inflation through a series of interest rate hikes that started in 2022 and continued with four additional quarter-point rate hikes to the federal funds rate in 2023. As a result, inflation moderated in the U.S., despite some uncertain data points in the first quarter of 2024.
During the first half of 2023, the U.S. private equity market saw a continuation of the cautious yet strategic investment activity that characterized the latter part of 2022. Total deal volumes declined considerably compared to the prior year, with deal count down 18% and deal volume down 31%.3 While 2023 exit volumes fell 8% and exit count fell 14% vs. the prior year, exit activity saw a gradual improvement in the latter half of 2023, as market conditions began to stabilize with Q4 2023 exit volumes and exit count up 36% and 3%, respectively.3 However, fundraising activity in 2023 remained remarkably steadfast, with total capital raised surpassing $300 billion for the first time, but the number of funds raised fell 15% vs. 2022, reverting in line with pre-pandemic levels and reflecting limited partner (“LP”) selectiveness and preference for more scaled and proven managers in a more discerning fundraising environment.4
Looking ahead, we expect several pivotal shifts in the U.S. private equity landscape. The quality of deals has remained high so far in 2024 and is expected to grow as general partners (“GPs”) are highly focused on monetizing mature, proven assets that have the potential to generate attractive returns for LPs in the near term. While we anticipate buyers will remain highly selective given the changing macro-economic landscape, GPs may explore many of the other avenues for generating liquidity, including debt refinancings, minority equity sales/recapitalizations, preferred stock, and secondaries. We believe more attractive financing packages, moderated valuations and continued high-quality assets in the market should translate into more meaningful private equity investment during 2024. At the same time, we continue to expect headwinds for fundraising for much of the year, but as distributions from exit activity start to arrive with LPs, we may see a rebound of fundraising later in the year.
Private Equity Investment Activity
In 2023, $405 billion was invested in the U.S. private equity market, marking a continuation of the decline from the $588 billion invested in 2022 and the $726 billion in 2021 and a reversion to a more “normalized” year of capital deployment compared to historical levels closer to ~$400 billion of annual investment activity.5 Deal activity further decreased as GPs faced heightened scrutiny from lenders amidst rising interest rates and a tightening credit market. This led to a shift towards smaller transaction sizes with less leverage and an increased reliance on alternative financing sources beyond traditional bank loans. Middle market deals with enterprise values equal to or less than $1 billion grew from 50% to 55% of total deal volumes compared to the prior year while deals with enterprise values north of $1 billion decreased from 40% to 35% of total deal volumes compared to the prior year. The number of leveraged buyout and add-on transactions declined more than 25% versus the prior year, while growth equity remained more resilient with deal count outpacing leveraged buyout deals for the first time.3
While public to private transactions remained a notable aspect in terms of deal count in 2023 (nearly flat vs. 2022), public to private deal values declined 45% vs. 2022.5 Take private transaction values significantly

declined as GPs targeted smaller public companies due to more attractive public valuations and digestible equity check sizes in a debt-constrained environment. Corporate carveout investment activity accelerated in the latter half of the year driven by large corporations looking to optimize their business segments as economic conditions stabilized and GPs pursued attractive valuations. By Q4 2023, corporate carveouts had recovered to 10.7% of leveraged buyouts from a deal count perspective, above the recent Q4 2021 low of 5.8% and the 2017 – 2019 average of 10.1%.3

Private Equity Outlook for 2024
We believe the current environment offers significant opportunity for investors who have capital to invest in this capital-constrained market, and we have seen attractive investment opportunities up and down the capital stack and at various points in the ownership cycle. Looking ahead to the rest of 2024, we expect several pivotal shifts in the private equity landscape, given the focus by GPs on monetizing mature, in demand assets. This has meaningfully increased the number of companies GPs have in market and/or plan to take to market. We anticipate that buyers will continue to prefer high-quality assets with clear opportunities for growth, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding upcoming elections, stickier inflation, and higher interest rates. The market is evolving in terms of exit paths that GPs can pursue for their companies, and full sales are not the only option. In particular, we have seen preferred equity, mid-life co-investments, and GP-led secondary transactions increase in popularity as a means for sellers to get at least partial liquidity to LPs, and we expect those transactions to remain popular for the duration of 2024.
Fund Overview
NB Private Markets Access Fund LLC’s (“NB Access Fund” or the “Fund”) investment objective is to seek to provide attractive, long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in an actively managed portfolio of private equity investments. The Fund’s private equity investments focus on direct co-investments and GP-led secondaries. The Fund also invests a portion of its assets in a portfolio of cash and cash equivalents and liquid fixed-income securities to maintain a degree of liquidity.
Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC serves as the Fund’s investment adviser and has engaged NB Alternatives Advisers LLC (“NB Private Markets”) as sub-adviser to assist with investment decisions. The strategy for the NB Access Fund is predicated on identifying and selecting top-performing private equity

investments and diversifying appropriately across asset classes, vintage years and pace of capital deployment, maturity and stage of companies, geographies and industries. In addition, when determining proper diversification for its private equity portfolio, NB Private Markets analyzes the private equity marketplace and appropriately weights capital allocations to those sectors with the most promising opportunities.
The NB Access Fund commenced investment operations in January 2021. As of March 31, 2024, the Fund had approximately $943 million in net assets, up from approximately $425.9 million as of March 31, 2023, and is invested in 66 private equity transactions alongside 54 private equity sponsors. We believe the Fund’s underlying private equity portfolio is comprised of investments alongside experienced private equity managers in portfolio companies that are backed by long-term secular growth trends that should remain resilient through market cycles.
The NB Access Fund’s Institutional Share Class generated a 6.93% total return on a NAV basis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. This was driven by the performance of the Fund’s largest investments, as its top ten investments — measured in terms of dollar value appreciation — increased in value by $33.6 million, or 57% of the total increase in value. These ten investments were broadly diversified across vintage year, industry, private equity sponsor and strategy. Valuation increases were generally the result of strong operating performance from the underlying portfolio companies, with several companies meaningfully growing revenue and EBITDA over the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, both organically and through M&A. In addition, there were several companies benefitting from strong EBITDA growth, driven by operational improvements, cost efficiencies, a focus on profitable growth and additional scale. Within the private equity portfolio, six investments detracted from performance. In aggregate, these six investments decreased in value by approximately $4.3 million, and two investments represented approximately two-thirds of this decline. Both businesses faced more challenging headwinds in their respective markets, resulting in more mixed operating performance during the year. However, in both cases, we believe the sponsor private equity managers are taking the needed corrective actions to stabilize operations to position the companies for potential growth.
The Fund’s liquidity portfolio, which consists of cash and cash equivalents and liquid fixed-income securities that the Fund holds for prudent liquidity management purposes, returned approximately 5.6% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Performance was primarily driven by the portfolio’s allocation to U.S. Treasury Bills and other short-term cash equivalents.
The portfolio composition, industries and holdings of the Fund are subject to change without notice. The opinions are as of the date of this report and are subject to change without notice.

[MISSING IMAGE: lc_accessfund-4clr.jpg]
This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical $50,000 investment in the Fund for the life of the Fund since commencement of operations through March 31, 2024. The required minimum initial capital commitment by an investor in the Fund is $50,000. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of Fund distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes an investor would pay on Fund distributions. The result is compared with a broad-based market index  —  the MSCI World Index (Net). The market index has not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing.
Impact of the Fund’s Distribution Policy
The Fund does not have a policy or practice of maintaining a specified level of distributions to investors. The Fund intends to qualify annually as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intends to distribute at least 90% of its annual net taxable income to its investors. From time to time, the Fund may also pay special interim distributions at the discretion of its Board of Managers. In general, this practice does not affect the Fund’s investment strategy and may reduce the Fund’s net asset value. This practice also does not generally result in a return of capital to investors.

NB Private Markets Access Fund LLC
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2024
1.   Organization
NB Private Markets Access Fund LLC (formerly, NB Crossroads Private Markets Access Fund LLC) (the “Fund”) was organized on July 10, 2020 as a limited liability company registered under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is offered only to investors that are both “accredited investors” as defined in Section 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and “qualified clients” as defined in Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Fund is authorized to offer three separate classes of shares (“Shares”) designated as Institutional Class, Class A-1 and Class A-2. Institutional Class shares commenced operations on January 19, 2021; Class A-1 and Class A-2 shares commenced operations on March 1, 2022. Class A-1 shares are offered at net asset value (“NAV”) plus a maximum sales charge of 3.50%. Institutional Class and Class A-2 shares are offered at NAV. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class-specific fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each month based upon the relative net assets of each share class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide attractive, long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in an actively managed portfolio of private equity investments. The Fund’s private equity investments are expected to focus on private equity strategies including: (i) buyouts; (ii) special situations; (iii) venture and growth capital; (iv) infrastructure and real assets; and (v) private credit. The Fund’s investment exposure to these strategies is implemented via a variety of investment types that will include: (i) direct investments in the equity of private companies and/or debt securities of operating companies and other credit instruments, including investments alongside private equity funds and other private equity firms (“Direct Investments”); (ii) investments in private equity funds managed by various unaffiliated asset managers (“Portfolio Funds”) acquired in privately negotiated transactions (a) from investors in these Portfolio Funds, (b) in connection with a restructuring transaction of a Portfolio Fund(s), and/or (c) directly from a private equity fund; (iii) primary investments in newly formed Portfolio Funds; and (iv) publicly listed private equity investments and investments in business development companies. The Fund will also invest a portion of its assets in a portfolio of cash and cash equivalents, liquid fixed-income securities and other credit instruments.
The Fund is managed by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC, an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act that serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (“NBIA” or “Registered Investment Adviser”). The Registered Investment Adviser has engaged NB Alternatives Advisers LLC (“NBAA” or the “Sub-Adviser” and together with the Registered Investment Adviser, the “Adviser”) to assist with investment decisions. The Fund’s Board of Managers (the “Board”) has overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the operations of the Fund. Certain officers of the Registered Investment Adviser are also officers of the Fund.
2.   Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance as issued through Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services —  Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A.   Basis of Accounting
The Fund’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Consequently, income and the related assets are recognized when earned, and expenses and the related liabilities are recognized when incurred. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.

NB Private Markets Access Fund LLC
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2024
Consolidation of Subsidiaries — NB CR PMAF Blocker LLC (the “Subsidiary”), is an investment company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of the Subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The inception date of the Subsidiary was September 1, 2021. On March 31, 2024, the Subsidiary had net assets of $11,021,968, which equals 1.2% of the Fund’s net assets.
B.   Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
C.   Valuation of Investments
The Fund computes the net asset value (“NAV”) for each class of Shares as of the close of business on the last business day of each calendar month and in connection with the Fund’s offer to purchase Shares, on each date that Shares are to be repurchased, as of the date of any distribution and at such other times as the Board shall determine.
The Board has approved valuation procedures (the “Procedures”) pursuant to which the Fund values its investments. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, the Board has designated NBIA as its Valuation Designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Valuation Designee, with assistance from NBAA, is responsible for determining fair value in good faith for the Fund’s investments without readily available market quotations, subject to oversight by the Board.
Private Equity Investments:
With respect to the Fund’s private equity investments, the Valuation Designee determines fair value at each month-end using a methodology that begins with the last reported net asset value reported by a manager or general partner of a Portfolio Fund or similar net asset value information provided by the lead or sponsoring investor for a Direct Investment, and is then adjusted to reflect: (i) financial adjustments; (ii) a “market factor” adjustment; and (iii) an “idiosyncratic event” adjustment, if applicable. The last reported value will generally follow the “practical expedient” in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides that, in valuing alternative investments that do not have quoted market prices but calculate NAV per share or equivalent, an investor may determine fair value by using the NAV reported to the investor by the underlying investment. In general, it is anticipated that such valuation information from these managers or from lead or sponsoring investors will generally not be available until 60 days or more after each quarter-end. Therefore, the most recently provided valuation information about these Portfolio Funds and Direct Investments for purposes of calculating the Fund’s monthly net asset value will typically be adjusted by the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Procedures to estimate the fair value, on a monthly basis, of the interests in such Portfolio Funds or Direct Investments. Financial adjustments include adjustments made to incorporate known developments since the last reported net asset value reported by a manager or general partner of a Portfolio Fund or by the lead or sponsoring investor for a Direct Investment, such as changes in currency rates, capital calls and distributions, and the nature of such cash flows, fees and expenses during the reporting period, and the value of publicly traded securities held by Portfolio Funds. In addition, the Valuation Designee has developed a proprietary “market factor’ adjustment that is applied to each of the Fund’s private equity investments in Portfolio Funds and Direct Investments. This adjustment is driven by factors that have been determined to have the most statistically significant impact to historical valuations. The Valuation Designee also continuously assesses information received from its ongoing monitoring of portfolio holdings and makes valuation changes

accordingly for idiosyncratic events when such idiosyncratic events are supported by documentation deemed reliable by the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee has engaged an independent third-party service provider to complete a form of positive assurance in relation to the application of this valuation methodology.
Liquid Investments:
Equity Investments:   Domestic exchange traded equity securities (other than options) will be valued at their last sale prices as reported on the exchanges where those securities are primarily traded. If no sales of a security are reported on a particular day, the security will be valued based on its bid price for a security held long, or its ask price for a security held short, as reported by those exchanges. Securities traded primarily on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If no NOCP is available, the security will generally be valued at the latest bid price as reported on NASDAQ. In the absence of such sales or quotations, other publicly offered securities will be valued at their bid prices (or asked prices in the case of securities held short) as obtained from one or more dealers making markets for those securities.
Fixed Income Securities and Other Credit Instruments:   Debt securities may be valued in accordance with the procedures described for equity securities above. In addition, debt securities may be valued by an independent pricing service approved by the Valuation Designee on the basis of market quotations. The Valuation Designee will monitor the reasonableness of valuations provided by the pricing service. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less will be valued on the basis of amortized cost, unless other factors indicate that amortized cost is not an accurate estimate of the security’s value. If a valuation for a security is not available from an independent pricing service or if the Valuation Designee believes in good faith that the valuation does not reflect the amount the Fund would receive on a current sale of that security, the Fund seeks to obtain quotations from brokers or dealers. If such quotations are not readily available, the Fund may use a fair value estimate made according to methods utilized by the Valuation Designee.
Illiquid Investments:
For illiquid securities for which no market quotations are available (other than interests in Portfolio Funds and certain Direct Investments, as described above) and for which independent appraisals of current value can readily be obtained, valuations will be based on such appraisals. Otherwise, valuation of illiquid securities (other than interests in Portfolio Funds and certain Direct Investments, as described above) will remain at cost except that original cost valuation will be adjusted based on a determination of such investment’s fair value.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). FASB ASC 820 provides three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access;
Level 2
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data;
Level 3   
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.
Most Portfolio Funds and certain Direct Investments are structured as closed-end, commitment-based private investment funds to which the Fund commits a specified amount of capital upon inception of the

investment (i.e., committed capital) which is then drawn down over a specified period of the investment’s life. Such investments generally do not provide redemption options for investors and, subsequent to final closing, do not permit subscriptions by new or existing investors. Accordingly, the Fund generally holds interests for which there is no active market, although, in some situations, a transaction may occur in the “secondary market” where an investor purchases a limited partner’s existing interest and remaining commitment.
Assumptions used by the Valuation Designee due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Fund’s results of operations and financial condition.
The following table presents the investments carried on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities by level within the valuation hierarchy as of March 31, 2024.

Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2024
During the year ended March 31, 2024, purchases of and sales from Level 3 investments were as follows:
  Purchases  
  Sales  
$11,316,922
$ 145,318
During the year ended March 31, 2024, changes in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and realized gains or (losses) from Level 3 investments were $7,816,509 and $115,880, respectively.
The Fund recognizes transfers into and out of the levels indicated above at the end of the reporting period. During the year ended March 31, 2024, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3.
The estimated remaining life of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2024, is unknown at this time.
Restricted securities are securities that may be resold only upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. The restricted securities may be valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Valuation Designee.
D.   Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and short-term investments which are readily convertible into cash and have an original maturity of three months or less. UMB Bank N.A. serves as the Fund’s custodian. Cash and cash equivalents are subject to credit risk to the extent those balances exceed applicable Securities Investor Protection Corporations (“SIPC”) or Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limitations.
Cash on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2024 is $11,400,509. Short-Term Investments presented on the Schedule of Investments may include deposits in money market accounts, Treasury Bills and Treasury Notes, which are classified as Level 1 assets. As of March 31, 2024, the Fund held Short-Term Investments of $244,347,678, of which $58,236,197 is held in an overnight sweep that is deposited into a money market account, $150,127,652 of Treasury Bills and $35,983,829 of Treasury Notes.
E.   Investment Gains and Losses
The Fund records distributions of cash or in-kind securities from the investments based on the information from distribution notices when distributions are received. The Fund recognizes within the Consolidated Statement of Operations its share of realized gains or (losses), the Fund’s change in net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the Fund’s share of net investment income or (loss) based upon information received regarding distributions from managers or the lead or sponsoring private equity investor for Direct Investments. The Fund may also recognize realized losses based upon information received from the managers or the lead or sponsoring private equity investor for Direct Investments for write-offs taken in the underlying portfolio. Changes in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments within the Consolidated Statement of Operations includes the Fund’s share of interest and dividends, realized (but undistributed) and unrealized gains and losses on security transactions, and expenses of each investment.
Portfolio Funds and certain Direct Investments may make in-kind distributions to the Fund and, particularly in the event of a dissolution of a Portfolio Fund or Direct Investment, such distributions may contain securities that are not marketable. While the general policy of the Fund will be to liquidate such investment and distribute proceeds to Shareholders, under certain circumstances when deemed appropriate by the Board, a Shareholder may receive in-kind distributions from the Fund.

F.   Federal Income Taxes
The Fund has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with a tax year end of September 30. If the Fund were to fail to meet the requirements of Subchapter M to qualify as a RIC, and if the Fund were ineligible to or otherwise unable to cure such failure, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates, whether or not distributed to Shareholders, and all distributions out of earnings and profits would be taxable to Shareholders as ordinary income. In addition, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make substantial distributions before re-qualifying as a RIC under Subchapter M. The Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to Shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to its underlying investments. As of September 30, 2023 there is no provision for federal income or excise tax within the financial statements. Differences arise in the computation of Shareholders’ capital for financial reporting in accordance with GAAP and Shareholders’ capital for federal and state income tax reporting. These differences are primarily due to the fact that change in unrealized gains and losses are allocated for financial reporting purposes and are not allocated for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. The cost of the Underlying Investments for federal income tax purposes is based on amounts reported to the Fund on Schedule K-1 from the Underlying Investments. For the tax year ended September 30, 2023, there were permanent book to tax reclassifications, which decreased paid in capital by $1,444,723 and increased distributable earnings by $1,444,723. As of September 30, 2023, the Fund had a late-year ordinary loss of $6,189,766, a post-October short term capital loss of $995,982 and a long term post-October capital loss of $676,673, which were deferred until the next taxable year.
The Subsidiary is a domestic limited liability company that is treated as a corporation for tax reporting and has a tax year end of September 30. The Subsidiary is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. As of March 31, 2024, the Subsidiary has recorded a total deferred tax fee payable of $1,768,343.
For the tax year ended September 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are as follows:
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)
$ 78,266,649
Other differences
Total distributable earnings
$ 78,266,649
As of March 31, 2024, the federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation
$ 133,763,276
Gross unrealized depreciation
(12,586,638)
Net unrealized appreciation
$ 121,176,638
Tax cost of investments
$ 869,004,082
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund did not make any distributions. The tax character of the distributions made during the year ended March 31, 2023 were as follows:
Ordinary Income
Long-Term Capital Gains
Short Term Capital Gains
$1,142,623
$484,180
$  —
The Fund files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. As of March 31, 2024, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the

major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2021 forward (with limited exceptions). FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes requires the Adviser to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Adviser has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for the current period and has concluded that no provision for taxes is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
G.   Restrictions on Transfers
Shares of the Fund are generally not transferable. No Shareholder may assign, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its Shares without the prior written consent of the Board which may be granted or withheld in the Board’s sole discretion, and in compliance with applicable securities and tax laws.
H.   Purchase of Shares
Shares will generally be offered for purchase as of the first business day of each month, or at such other times as determined in the discretion of the Board, based on the most recent net asset value which will be calculated for the last business day of the preceding month. The minimum initial investment in the Fund by any investor is $50,000, and the minimum additional investment in the Fund by any Shareholder is $10,000, except for additional purchases pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan. The Board reserves the right to accept lesser amounts below these minimums.
I.   Repurchase of Shares
The Fund expects to conduct repurchase offers quarterly pursuant to written tenders to Shareholders. The Registered Investment Adviser anticipates recommending to the Board that, under normal market circumstances, the Fund conduct repurchase offers of no more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets quarterly commencing on or about February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. A Shareholder who tenders some but not all of its Shares for repurchase will be required to maintain a minimum account balance of $10,000. Such minimum ownership requirement may be waived by the Board, in its sole discretion. A 2.00% early repurchase fee will be charged by the Fund with respect to any repurchase of Shares from a Shareholder at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the Shareholder’s purchase of the Shares. Shares tendered for repurchase will be treated as having been repurchased on a “first in-first out” basis. An early repurchase fee payable by a Shareholder may be waived by the Fund in circumstances where the Board determines that doing so is in the best interests of the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will conduct repurchase offers in any particular period and Shareholders may be unable to tender Shares for repurchase for an indefinite period of time. During the year ended March 31, 2024, 319,724 Shares were tendered, all of which were repurchased by the Fund.
J.   Fees of the Portfolio Funds’ Investments
Each Portfolio Fund investment will charge its investors (including the Fund) expenses, including asset-based management fees and performance-based fees, which are referred to as an allocation of profits. In addition to the Fund level expenses shown on the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Operations, Shareholders of the Fund will indirectly bear the fees and expenses charged by the Portfolio Funds. These fees are reflected in the valuations of the Portfolio Funds and are not reflected in the ratios to average net assets in the Fund’s Financial Highlights. The Fund has foreign investments which require the Fund to translate these investments into U.S. dollars. For foreign investments for which the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the fair values of the investments are translated into the U.S. dollar equivalent using period end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments.

K.   Foreign Currency Translation
The Fund has foreign investments which require the Fund to translate these investments into U.S. dollars. For foreign investments for which the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the fair values of the investments are translated into the U.S. dollar equivalent using period end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments.
Contributed capital to and distributions received from these foreign investments are translated into the U.S. dollar equivalent using exchange rates on the date of the transaction.
Conversion gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates during the reporting period and gains and losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates on investment transactions from the fluctuations arising from changes in the fair value of these investments.
L.   Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund intends to pay dividends from net investment income at least annually. The Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years) at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. U.S. GAAP requires that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income. The final determination of tax characteristics of the Fund’s distributions will occur at the end of the calendar year, at which time it will be reported to the Shareholders.
M.   Security Transactions and Related Income
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums using the effective interest method. Discounts on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities. Premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective security, unless the security has a non-contingent call feature, in which case the premium is amortized to the earliest call date. Realized gains and losses on securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are reported on the identified cost basis, which is also used for income tax purposes.
N.   Fund Expenses
The Fund bears all expenses incurred in the course of business on an accrual basis, including, but not limited to, the following: Advisory Fees (as defined herein); Incentive Fees (as defined herein); Distribution and Servicing Fees for Class A-1 and Class A-2 Shares; investment related expenses; legal fees; administration; auditing; tax preparation fees; custodial fees; cost of insurance; registration expenses; Independent Managers’ fees (as defined herein); and expenses of meetings of the Board.
3.   Advisory Fee, Incentive Fee, Distribution and Servicing Fee, and Other Expenses
The Registered Investment Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Fund and incurs research, travel and other expenses related to the selection and monitoring of underlying investments. Further, the Registered Investment Adviser provides certain management and administrative services including providing office space and other support services, maintaining files and records, and preparing and filing various regulatory materials. In consideration for such services, the Fund pays the Registered Investment Adviser an investment advisory fee (the “Advisory Fee”) at an annual rate of 1.50%, based on the Fund’s net asset value,
 
25

 
NB Private Markets Access Fund LLC
Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2024
calculated and accrued monthly as of the last business day of each month, and payable quarterly in arrears within five (5) business days after the completion of the net asset value computation for the quarter. Certain of the Fund’s investments pay the Adviser for transaction services at the time of closing of the investment. This income to the Adviser is shared with the Fund based on the Fund’s ownership percentage of the investment through a fee offset which is presented on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund incurred Advisory Fees totaling $10,385,974.
At the end of each calendar quarter of the Fund, the Registered Investment Adviser will be entitled to receive an incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”) equal to 10% of the difference, if positive, between (i) the net profits of the Fund for the relevant period and (ii) the then balance, if any, of the Loss Recovery Account (as defined below). For the purposes of the Incentive Fee, the term “net profits” shall mean (i) the amount by which the net asset value of the Fund on the last day of the relevant period exceeds the net asset value of the Fund as of the commencement of the same period, including any net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and realized income and gains or losses and expenses (including offering and organizational expenses) plus (ii) the aggregate distributions accrued during the period. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund incurred Incentive Fees totaling $5,500,345.
The Fund maintains a memorandum account (the “Loss Recovery Account”), which had an initial balance of zero and will be (i) increased upon the close of each calendar quarter of the Fund by the amount of the net losses of the Fund for the quarter, and (ii) decreased (but not below zero) upon the close of each calendar quarter by the amount of the net profits of the Fund for the quarter. Net losses are defined as the amount by which the net asset value of the Fund on the last day of the relevant period is less than the net asset value of the Fund as of the commencement of the same period, including any net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and realized income and gains or losses and expenses (including offering and organizational expenses).
In consideration for services provided under an investment sub-advisory agreement, the Registered Investment Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a quarterly fee equal to 90% of the Advisory Fee and 100% of the Incentive Fee received from the Fund.
The Fund has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Registered Investment Adviser (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”). The Expense Limitation Agreement has a term ending July 31, 2025 (the “Limitation Period”). The Registered Investment Adviser may extend the Limitation Period for a period of one year on an annual basis. Pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Registered Investment Adviser agrees to waive and/or reimburse certain annual operating expenses (excluding the advisory fee, incentive fee, distribution and servicing fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any) (“Other Expenses”) of the Fund so they are limited to 0.30% (30bps) per annum, of the average monthly net assets (“Expense Limitation”). The Fund has agreed to repay the Registered Investment Adviser any fees waived under the Expense Limitation or any Other Expenses the Registered Investment Adviser reimburses in excess of the Expense Limitation, provided the repayments do not cause the Fund’s Other Expenses to exceed the expense limitation in place at the time the fees were waived and/or the expenses were reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays the Registered Investment Adviser, whichever is lower. Any such repayments must be made within three years after the year in which the Registered Investment Adviser incurred the expense.
As of March 31, 2024, the following amounts remain subject to recoupment by the Registered Investment Adviser by the following dates:
March 31, 2025
March 31, 2026
March 31, 2027
$513,637
$294,733
$ 169,595
Class A-1 Shares and Class A-2 Shares are subject to a Distribution and Servicing Fee at an annual rate of 0.70% based on the aggregate net assets of the Fund attributable to such class payable to Neuberger Berman

BD LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser (the “Distributor”). For purposes of determining the Distribution and Servicing Fee, net asset value will be calculated prior to any reduction for any fees and expenses, including, without limitation, the Distribution and Servicing Fee payable. Institutional Class Shares are not subject to a Distribution and Servicing Fee. The Registered Investment Adviser, or its affiliates, may pay additional compensation out of its own resources (i.e., not Fund assets) to certain selling agents or financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of the Shares. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund incurred Distribution and Servicing Fees of $797 and $1,195,846 for Class A-1 and Class A-2, respectively.
Pursuant to an Administration, Fund Accounting and Recordkeeping Agreement, the Fund retains UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) a subsidiary of UMB Financial Corporation, to provide administration, accounting and transfer agency services to the Fund. In consideration for these services, the Fund will pay UMBFS tiered fees based on the average monthly net asset value of the Fund, subject to a minimum annual fee, as well as certain other fixed, per-account or transactional fees. The Fund also reimburses UMBFS for certain out-of-pocket expenses. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund incurred accounting and administration service fees totaling $606,056.
Effective March 11, 2024 the Board consists of six managers (the “Managers”), of which five are not an “interested person” of the Fund as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act. Compensation to the Board is paid and expensed by the Fund on a quarterly basis. The Independent Managers are also reimbursed for out of pocket expenses in connection with providing their services to the Fund. For the year ended March 31, 2024, during which six Independent Managers served on the Board, the Fund incurred $170,313 in Independent Managers’ fees.
4.   Description of Certain Investments
Due to the nature of the investments in Portfolio Funds and certain Direct Investments, the Fund generally cannot liquidate its positions in such investments except through distributions from the investment, which are made at the discretion of the manager or sponsor of the Direct Investments. The Fund has no right to demand repayment of its investment in such investments.
5.   Capital Commitments to Investments
As of March 31, 2024, the Fund had total capital commitments of $540,621,818 with remaining unfunded commitments to the investments totaling $33,556,712 as listed below:
Investment:
Unfunded
Commitment
Private Funds
$ 33,556,712
Total
$ 33,556,712
6.   Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended March 31, 2024 were $329,400,246 and $26,018,388, respectively. Purchases and sales of short-term investments for the year ended March 31, 2024 were $1,722,973,325 and $1,567,959,052, respectively.
7.   Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund, and therefore cannot be established; however, based on the Registered Investment Adviser’s experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

8.   Concentrations of Market, Credit, Liquidity, Industry and Currency Risk
Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the difference could be material.
The Fund’s investments are subject, directly or indirectly, to various risk factors including market, credit, industry, currency and capital call risk. Certain investments are made internationally, which may subject the investments to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions affecting such countries or regions. Market risk represents the potential loss in value of financial instruments caused by movements in market variables, such as interest and foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The Fund may have a concentration of investments, as permitted by its registration statement, in a particular industry or sector. Investment performance of the sector may have a significant impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments are also subject to the risk associated with investing in private equity securities. The investments in private equity securities are illiquid, can be subject to various restrictions on resale, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to realize the value of such investments in a timely manner if at all.
The Fund believes that its liquidity and capital resources are adequate to satisfy its operational needs as well as the continuation of its investment program.
If the Fund defaults on its commitment or fails to satisfy capital calls, it will be subject to significant penalties, including the complete forfeiture of the Fund’s investment in a Portfolio Fund. This may impair the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment program, force the Fund to borrow or otherwise impair the value of the Fund’s investments (including the complete devaluation of the Fund). While the Registered Investment Adviser has taken steps to mitigate this risk, there is no guarantee that such measures will be sufficient or successful.
9.   Fixed Income, Debt and Bank Loan Securities Risk
Fixed-income securities in which the Fund may invest are generally subject to the following risks, other risks can be found in the Fund’s prospectus.
Interest Rate Risk:   The market value of bonds and other fixed-income securities changes in response to interest rate changes and other factors. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Fluctuations in the market price of the Fund’s investments will not affect interest income derived from instruments already owned by the Fund, but will be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply in a manner not anticipated by the Adviser.
Credit Risk:   Credit risk is the risk that one or more fixed-income securities in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. Credit risk is increased when a portfolio security is downgraded, or the perceived creditworthiness of the issuer deteriorates.
Duration and Maturity Risk:   The Fund has no set policy regarding portfolio maturity or duration of the fixed-income securities it may hold. The Adviser may seek to adjust the portfolio’s duration or maturity based on its assessment of current and projected market conditions and all other factors that the Adviser deems relevant. Any decisions as to the targeted duration or maturity of any particular category of investments or of the Fund’s portfolio generally will be made based on all pertinent market factors at any given time. The Fund may incur costs in seeking to adjust the portfolio’s average duration or maturity. There can be no assurance that the Adviser’s assessment of current and projected market conditions will be correct or that any strategy to adjust the portfolio’s duration or maturity will be successful at any given time.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Managers
NB Private Markets Access Fund LLC:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of NB Private Markets Access Fund LLC (formerly, NB Crossroads Private Markets Access Fund LLC) (the Company), including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements) and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and the period from January 19, 2021 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2021. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and the period from January 19, 2021 through March 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2024, by correspondence with the underlying custodian, agent banks, fund managers and portfolio companies or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the underlying custodian, agent banks, fund managers and portfolio companies were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

 

Subject to the Board’s oversight, the Registrant has delegated responsibility to vote proxies related to the securities held in the Fund’s portfolio to its Investment Adviser, Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“NBIA”). Under this authority, NBIA is required by the Board to vote proxies related to portfolio securities in the best interests of the Registrant and its members. The Board permits NBIA to contract with a third party to obtain proxy voting and related services, including research of current issues.

 

NBIA has implemented written Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (“Proxy Voting Policy”) that are designed to reasonably ensure that NBIA votes proxies prudently and in the best interest of its advisory clients for whom NBIA has voting authority, including the Registrant. The Proxy Voting Policy also describes how NBIA addresses any conflicts that may arise between its interests and those of its clients with respect to proxy voting.

 

NBIA’s Governance and Proxy Committee (“Proxy Committee”) is responsible for developing, authorizing, implementing and updating the Proxy Voting Policy, administering and overseeing the proxy voting process and engaging and overseeing any independent third-party vendors as voting delegates to review, monitor and/or vote proxies. In order to apply the Proxy Voting Policy noted above in a timely and consistent manner, NBIA utilizes Glass, Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) to vote proxies in accordance with NBIA’s voting guidelines. In instances where a material conflict has been determined to exist, NBIA will generally instruct that such shares be voted in the same proportion as other shares are voted with respect to a proposal, subject to applicable legal, regulatory and operational requirements. .

 

NBIA retains final authority and fiduciary responsibility for proxy voting. NBIA believes that this process is reasonably designed to address material conflicts of interest that may arise between NBIA and a client as to how proxies are voted.

 

In the event that an investment professional at NBIA believes that it is in the best interests of a client or clients to vote proxies in a manner inconsistent with NBIA’s proxy voting guidelines, the Proxy Committee will review information submitted by the investment professional to determine that there is no material conflict of interest between NBIA and the client with respect to the voting of the proxy in that manner. In the event that the Proxy Committee determines that such vote will not present a material conflict, the Proxy Committee will make a determination whether to vote such proxy as recommended by the NB investment professional.

 

 

 

 

If the Proxy Committee determines that the voting of a proxy as recommended by the investment professional would not be appropriate, the Proxy Committee shall: (i) take no further action, in which case Glass Lewis shall vote such proxy in accordance with the voting guidelines; (ii) disclose such conflict to the client or clients and obtain written direction from the client as to how to vote the proxy; (iii) suggest that the client or clients engage another party to determine how to vote the proxy; (iv) instruct that such shares be voted in the same proportion as other shares are voted with respect to a proposal, subject to applicable legal, regulatory and operational requirements; or (v) engage another independent third party to determine how to vote the proxy.

Potential Conflicts of Interests

 

Real, potential or apparent conflicts of interest may arise should members of the Portfolio Management Team have day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund. Portfolio Management Team members may manage other accounts with investment strategies similar to the Registrant, including other investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and separately managed accounts. Fees earned by the Investment Adviser may vary among these accounts and Portfolio Management Team members may personally invest in these accounts. These factors could create conflicts of interest because the Portfolio Management Team members may have incentives to favor certain accounts over others, that could result in other accounts outperforming the Registrant. A conflict may also exist if a Portfolio Management Team member identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be appropriate for more than one account, but the Registrant is not able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to the need to allocate that opportunity among multiple accounts. In addition, a Portfolio Management Team member may execute transactions for another account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Registrant. However, the Investment Adviser believes that these risks are mitigated by the fact that accounts with like investment strategies managed by the Portfolio Management Team members are generally managed in a similar fashion and the Investment Adviser has policies that seek to allocate opportunities on a fair and equitable basis, taking into consideration the investment objectives and strategies and any legal, tax or regulatory considerations.

 

 

 

 

(a)(3) Compensation Structure of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members - As of March 31, 2024:

 

Neuberger Berman's compensation philosophy is one that focuses on rewarding performance and incentivizing our employees. We are also focused on creating a compensation process that we believe is fair, transparent, and competitive with the market.

 

Compensation for the Fund’s Portfolio Management Team consists of a fixed base salary and annual discretionary, performance-based bonus, which is a variable portion of total compensation. Compensation is paid from a portfolio management team compensation pool made available to the portfolio management team with which the investment professional is associated. The size of the team compensation pool is determined based on a number of factors including the revenue that is generated by that particular portfolio management team, less certain adjustments. The percentage allocated to individual team participants is based on a variety of criteria, including investment performance (including the aggregate multi-year track record), utilization of central resources (including research, sales and operations/support), business building to further the longer term sustainable success of the investment team, effective team/people management, and overall contribution to the success of Neuberger Berman.

 

The terms of our long-term retention incentives are as follows:

 

  Employee-Owned Equity. We offer a voluntary equity acquisition program which allows employees a direct opportunity to invest in Neuberger Berman. This program is open to senior employees who meet certain investment criteria. In addition, in prior years certain employees may have elected to have a portion of their compensation delivered in the form of equity. 

 

For confidentiality and privacy reasons, Neuberger Berman cannot disclose individual equity holdings or program participation.

 

  Contingent Compensation. Certain employees may participate in the Neuberger Berman Group Contingent Compensation Plan (the “CCP”) to serve as a means to further align the interests of our employees with the success of the firm and the interests of our clients, and to reward continued employment. Under the CCP, up to 20% of a participant’s annual total compensation in excess of $500,000 is contingent and subject to vesting. Contingent amounts under the CCP are held in a notional account representing the Neuberger Berman Portfolio, which is a portfolio of the investment strategies we manage across the firm. For members of investment teams, a portion of the contingent amounts are held in a notional account representing the team’s strategies as determined by senior management, in addition to the Neuberger Berman Portfolio, which is a portfolio of select investment strategies that we manage across the firm. Subject to continued employment at the firm and other conditions, a participant’s contingent amounts vest in equal installments over three years.

 

  Restrictive Covenants. Most investment professionals, including Portfolio Fund Managers, are subject to notice periods and restrictive covenants which include employee and client non-solicit restrictions as well as restrictions on the use of confidential information. In addition, depending on participation levels, certain senior investment professionals may have non-compete restrictions.
