Please
see "Glossary of Indices" on page 12 for a description of indices. Please
note that individuals cannot
invest
directly in any index. The indices described in this report do not take
into account any fees, expenses
or
tax consequences of investing in the individual securities that they
track. Data about the performance of
an
index are prepared or obtained by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC
("NBIA") and reflect the
reinvestment
of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The Fund may invest
in securities not
included
in a described index and generally does not invest in all securities
included in a described index. |
4 |
Unlike
mutual funds, ETF shares are purchased and sold in secondary market
transactions at negotiated
market
prices rather than at NAV and as such ETFs may trade at a premium or
discount to their NAV. As a
result,
shareholders of the Fund may pay more than NAV when purchasing shares and
receive less than
NAV
when selling Fund shares. ETF shares may only be redeemed at NAV by
authorized participants in large
creation
units. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for shares
will develop or be
maintained
or that the Fund’s shares will continue to be listed. The trading of
shares may incur brokerage
commissions.
The Fund has a limited number of Authorized Participants. To the extent
they exit the
business
or are otherwise unable to proceed in creation and redemption transactions
with the Fund and no
other
Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, shares
of the Fund may be more
likely
to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possible face trading halts
or delisting. Unexpected
episodes
of illiquidity, including due to market factors, instrument or
issuer-specific factors and/or
unanticipated
outflows, could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s NAV,
liquidity, and
brokerage
costs. To the extent the Fund’s investments trade in markets that are
closed when the Fund is
open,
premiums or discounts to NAV may develop in share
prices. |
MSCI
All Country World Index
(Net): |
The
index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index that
is
designed
to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging
markets.
The index consists of 47 country indexes comprising 23 developed and 24
emerging
market country indexes. The developed market country indexes included
are:
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Hong
Kong,
Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway,
Portugal,
Singapore,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The
emerging market country indexes included are: Brazil, Chile, China,
Colombia,
the
Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait,
Malaysia,
Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa,
Taiwan,
Thailand, Turkey, and the UAE. China A shares are included starting from
June
1, 2018 and are partially represented at 20% of their free float-adjusted
market
capitalization
as of November 2019. 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. Effective after the close on March 9, 2022, MSCI reclassified
MSCI
Russia
Indexes from Emerging Markets to Standalone Markets status. At that time,
all
Russian
securities were removed from this index at a final price of 0.00001,
including
both
locally traded Russian equity constituents and Russian ADRs/GDRs
constituents. |
Russell 1000® Index: |
The
index is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index that
measures the
performance
of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. It includes
approximately
1,000 of the largest securities in the Russell 3000®
Index (which
measures
the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. public companies based on total
market
capitalization). The index is rebalanced annually in
June. |
Russell 1000® Growth Index: |
The
index is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index that
measures the
performance
of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity market. It includes
those
Russell 1000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher
forecasted
growth rates. The index is rebalanced annually in
June. |
Actual
Expenses and
Performance: |
The
first section of the table provides information about actual account
values and actual
expenses
in dollars, based on the Fund’s actual performance during the period
indicated.
You
may use the information in this line, together with the amount you
invested, to
estimate
the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by
$1,000
(for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then
multiply
the
result by the number in the first section of the table under the heading
entitled
“Expenses
Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid over the
period. |
Hypothetical
Example for
Comparison
Purposes: |
The
second section of the table provides information about hypothetical
account values
and
hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an
assumed rate
of
return at 5% per year before expenses. This return is not the Fund’s
actual return. The
hypothetical
account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending
account
balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information
to
compare
the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund versus other funds. To do so,
compare
the
expenses shown in this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical
examples
that
appear in the shareholder reports of other
funds. |

a |
Calculated
based on the average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal
period. |
b |
Total
return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV on
the performance of each
Fund
during the fiscal period. Returns assume income dividends and other
distributions, if any, were
reinvested.
Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results.
Current returns may be
lower
or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns and
principal will fluctuate and
shares,
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. The Fund is
new and has limited
performance
history that should not be relied on. Past performance, particularly for
brief periods of time,
are
not indicative of future returns. Total return would have been lower if
Management had not waived
certain
expenses. |
c |
Represents
the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets if
Management had not waived
a
portion of the investment management fee. |
d |
Portfolio
turnover rate excludes securities received or delivered in-kind. The
portfolio turnover rate of
Carbon
Transition & Infrastructure ETF, Disrupters ETF and Next Generation
Connected Consumer ETF
including
securities received or delivered in-kind was 8%, 9% and
31%, respectively, for the period ended
August
31, 2022. |
e |
The
date investment operations commenced. |
