Neuberger Berman Dividend Growth Fund Institutional Class is an actively managed mutual fund that seeks to deliver a combination of long-term capital appreciation and modest current income. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies with a strong track record of paying and growing dividends. Its portfolio consists mainly of U.S. common stocks, but it also has the flexibility to allocate up to 10% of assets each to master limited partnerships and convertible securities, including those that are below investment grade. The fund employs a bottom-up, value-oriented investment approach, focusing on businesses with strong balance sheets, consistent cash flow, and the ability to increase dividend distributions over time. While its sector exposure may shift based on market conditions, the fund tends to favor companies perceived as dividend champions, initiators, and accelerators. Launched in 2015, the institutional share class is designed for investors seeking stable income and capital growth, contributing to the large blend category—an important segment for those looking to balance growth and income in their investment portfolios.
