Key Terms

net investment income, net realized capital gains, return of capital, record date, +2 more

6 terms

net investment income financial

"may consist of net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital"

Net investment income is the money an investor or fund actually keeps from its investments after subtracting the costs of running those investments (like management fees, interest, and losses). Think of it as your paycheck from owning assets: gross returns minus the bills needed to earn them. Investors watch it because it shows how profitable the investment activities are, influences dividend payouts and cash available for growth, and helps compare true performance across funds or companies.

net realized capital gains financial

"may consist of net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital"

Net realized capital gains are the total profits an investor or fund actually locks in by selling investments at a higher price than they were bought, after subtracting any losses and transaction costs. Think of it like a garage sale where you tally the money made from items sold for more than you paid, minus the losses on items that sold for less; these net gains affect taxable income, dividend distributions and reported earnings, so they directly influence investor returns and tax bills.

return of capital financial

"may consist of net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital"

Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.

record date financial

"payable on December 31, 2025, has a record date of December 15, 2025"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

ex-date financial

"has a record date of December 15, 2025, and has an ex-date of December 15, 2025"

The ex-date is the specific day when a stock stops trading with the right to receive an upcoming dividend or other benefit. If you buy the stock on or after this date, you won't get the upcoming payout; instead, the seller will. It’s like a cut-off point that determines who is entitled to receive the benefits of a company’s distribution to shareholders.

Investment Company Act of 1940 regulatory

"In compliance with Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended"

A U.S. federal law that sets the rulebook for pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and similar money managers, requiring them to register with regulators, disclose holdings and fees, limit conflicts of interest, and follow governance standards. It matters to investors because these protections and transparency rules act like a referee and scoreboard, helping people compare funds, trust that managers follow fair practices, and spot hidden costs or risks.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuberger Berman Next Generation Connectivity Fund Inc. (NYSE: NBXG) (the "Fund") has announced a distribution declaration of $0.12 per share of common stock.  The distribution announced today is payable on December 31, 2025, has a record date of December 15, 2025, and has an ex-date of December 15, 2025.

Under its level distribution policy, the Fund anticipates that it will make regular monthly distributions, subject to market conditions, of $0.12 per share of common stock, unless further action is taken to determine another amount. The Fund's ability to maintain its current distribution rate will depend on a number of factors, including the amount and stability of income received from its investments, availability of capital gains, and the level of other Fund fees and expenses. There is no assurance that the Fund will always be able to pay a distribution of any particular amount or that a distribution will consist of only net investment income.

Due to an effort to maintain a stable distribution amount, the distribution announced today, as well as future distributions, may consist of net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. In compliance with Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, a notice would be provided for any distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income. The notice would be for informational purposes and not for tax reporting purposes, and would disclose, among other things, estimated portions of the distribution, if any, consisting of net investment income, capital gains and return of capital. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all distributions paid in 2025 will be made after the end of the year.
