The Neuberger Berman Genesis Fund Institutional Class is dedicated to achieving long-term capital appreciation. It primarily invests in the common stocks of smaller companies, specifically defining "small-capitalization" as businesses whose total market value falls within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index at the time of their initial purchase. The fund retains the flexibility to maintain or even increase its holdings in a company, even if that company's market capitalization eventually moves outside the Russell 2000® Index range.
