Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund Announces Monthly Distribution

Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NHS) has officially declared its monthly distribution amounting to $0.0905 per share of common stock. This announcement, made on August 29, 2025, forms a crucial part of the Fund’s ongoing communication with shareholders and potential investors.

The distribution is set to be disbursed on September 30, 2025, with both the record date and ex-date identified as September 15, 2025. Such announcements play a key role in maintaining investment confidence, as they underline the Fund’s commitment to consistent returns amid dynamic market conditions.

Under its proactive level distribution policy, the Fund aims to deliver regular monthly distributions of $0.0905 per share, although this is subject to market variations. The stability of the monthly payout largely hinges on several interrelated factors including the income generated from the Fund's investment portfolio, the costs associated with leveraging, as well as other administrative fees and expenses. Thus, while the Fund is poised to make these distributions, there is no absolute guarantee that the payments will consistently meet a specific figure or that they will exclusively derive from net investment income.

In a move towards ensuring financial clarity for its shareholders, Neuberger Berman has indicated that future distributions may consist of net investment income, net realized capital gains, and potentially, a return of capital. According to the stipulations outlined in Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund will issue informative notices for any distribution that is not strictly composed of net investment income. These notices will primarily have an informative nature rather than being for tax reporting purposes, detailing the expected portions of distributions along with their components.

The final assessment of the source and tax implications for all distributions made in 2025 will be performed after the fiscal year concludes, ensuring that shareholders receive accurate and timely information regarding their earnings.
