Supplement to the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus of Neuberger Berman Greater China Equity Fund, each dated December 15, 2020, as amended and supplemented
  


Change of Benchmark Index
Effective immediately, the Neuberger Berman Greater China Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is changing its benchmark index to the MSCI China All Shares Index (Net). The Fund is changing its benchmark index because the MSCI China All Shares Index (Net) has characteristics that are more representative of the Fund’s investment strategy than its current index, the MSCI China Index (Net).  To reflect the change in the Fund’s benchmark, the bar chart titled “Year-by-Year % Returns as of 12/31 Each Year” and the table titled “Average Annual Total % Returns as of 12/31/19” in the “Performance” section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

The following is added to the “Descriptions of Indices” section of the Prospectus:

The MSCI China All Shares Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of China share classes listed in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen and outside of China.  It covers the integrated MSCI China equity universe comprising A-shares, B-shares, H-shares, Red-chips, P-chips and foreign listings listed outside China or Hong Kong (e.g. ADRs).  A-shares are incorporated in China and trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges; they are quoted in local renminbi and entail foreign investment regulations (QFII). B-shares are incorporated in China, and trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges; they are quoted in foreign currencies (Shanghai USD, Shenzhen HKD) and are open to foreign investors. H-shares are incorporated in China and trade on the Hong Kong exchange and other foreign exchanges. Red chips and P-chips are incorporated outside of China and trade on the Hong Kong exchange. Red chips are usually controlled by the state or a province or municipality. P-chips are non state-owned Chinese companies incorporated outside the mainland and traded in Hong Kong.  Net total return indexes reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using (for international indexes) a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
