The benchmark performance is presented for illustrative purposes only to show general trends in the market for the relevant periods shown. The investment objectives and strategies of the benchmarks may be different than the investment objectives and strategies of a particular private fund, and may have different risk and reward profiles.

30 Building a Small & Emerging Manager Portfolio
Sample Model Portfolio Portfolio Allocation Target NB Commentary Lower Middle Market Buyout Funds Rationale: Lower middle market buyout has the greatest number of fund managers, strategies and methods of value creation Investment Size: $10-$20mm per investment Special Situations Funds Rationale: Complements traditional buyout through the inclusion of value oriented managers Investment Size: $10-$15mm per investment Venture / Growth Funds Rationale: Venture capital has the highest potential upside but with higher volatility, while growth equity represents an attractive strategy to invest in growing companies on a minority basis Investment Size: $5-$10mm per investment Co-Investments & Secondaries Co-Investments Rationale: Potential for higher returns and greater fee and capital efficiency through enhanced deal selection Secondaries: Rationale: Greater capital efficiency with the potential for early distributions Investment Size: $3-$20mm per investment ~30% ~20% ~10% ~40% Note: There can be no assurance that the portfolio will achieve the targeted or desired diversification or asset allocations, that the portfolio will be able to or will ultimately elect to implement the assumptive investment strategy and approach described in the model.

38 appendix

39 11/9/2019 7:27 AM Endnotes Information is as of September 30, 2018 unless otherwise indicated. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The data set includes primary investments that are in fund which are considered first time institutional funds since January 1, In reviewing the performance information, please keep in mind the inherent limitations of the reliability of certain of the valuations upon which that performance presentation is made. The results are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to predict the performance of any specific investment. Similarly, there can be no assurance that a fund will achieve, or be able to achieve, comparable results. This analysis includes funds managed by NB Alternatives and its predecessors-in-interest. Neuberger Berman and its affiliates are the successor to all of the predecessors’ operational assets, and employ substantially all of their key personnel, and NB Alternatives became either the advisor or sub-advisor to the Fund Accounts previously advised by the predecessors. The data does not include NB Private Equity’s dedicated commingled secondary funds and certain specialty funds which focus primarily on private debt investments, healthcare income generating strategies, brand licensing, purchasing minority interests in hedge and private equity fund managers, advisory mandates, or outsourced CIO programs. The track record presented includes investments made through vehicles managed by the Private Investment Portfolios and Co-Investment Investment Committee and their predecessor Investment Committees (collectively, the “IC”), with certain exceptions as set forth below. Investments that are included in the track record, which were not, however, approved by the Investment Committee (“IC”), include investments made by registered funds and funds focused on impact investing, each of which have one additional member on their IC. Investments that are excluded from the track record, which were, nonetheless, approved by the IC, include (i) equity co-investments made in conjunction with debt investments, with the debt investment required to be made in order to make the equity investment; (ii) debt investments only made by funds, which by their terms, contain specific debt investment allocations and investment objectives; (iii) Fund Account investments in other NB Private Equity managed funds. Data is net of underlying investment fees, expenses, and carried interest but gross of NB fees, expenses, and carried interest. Returns are presented on a gross basis because the governing documents of the commingled and custom funds do not provide a mechanism to appropriately allocate fees, expenses and carried interest to each investment across different fund complexes by vintage year and asset class. These related return results are unaudited.

The values of unrealized investments are estimated, inherently uncertain and subject to change. Actual returns on unrealized investments will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, legal and contractual restrictions on transfer that may limit liquidity, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may differ from the assumptions and circumstances on which the valuations used in the prior performance data contained herein are based.
