  • Neuberger Berman Fund Offers 8.7% Yield Amid 13.7% Discount on Tech-Driven Assets
    June 18, 2026, 10:07 AM EDT. The Neuberger Berman Next Generation Connectivity Fund (NBXG) delivers a high 8.7% dividend yield while trading at a 13.7% discount to net asset value (NAV), offering a compelling entry point. The fund focuses on AI and tech sectors, holding major names like NVIDIA and Amazon. Analysts note that potential easing in oil prices due to the Iran deal could lower inflation and interest rates, benefiting closed-end funds (CEFs) like NBXG that typically perform well in such environments. Despite a higher-than-average market price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 28.1, strong corporate earnings growth of 28.8% supports valuations. Investors are encouraged to consider NBXG as a tactical income and growth play amid improving economic fundamentals and AI adoption.
