Insights

Income Investment Specialist

NHS announced its regular $0.0905 monthly distribution, maintaining its consistent dividend policy despite noting potential sustainability challenges.

Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund (NHS) has declared its monthly distribution of $0.0905 per share, maintaining its established dividend level. This distribution will be paid on September 30, with a record and ex-date of September 15.

The fund's distribution announcement includes standard but important cautionary language about sustainability factors that warrant investor attention. Specifically, NHS notes that maintaining this distribution rate depends on several variables including income stability from investments, leverage costs, and expense levels.

What's particularly noteworthy is the fund's disclosure that future distributions may include not just net investment income, but potentially net realized capital gains and return of capital. This is significant because return of capital components essentially represent a return of investors' principal rather than genuine investment returns.

The fund is operating under a level distribution policy, which aims to provide shareholders with consistent monthly payments regardless of underlying portfolio performance fluctuations. This approach prioritizes payment stability but requires careful monitoring of distribution composition.

For income-focused investors, this announcement signals continuity in the near term, but the cautionary language serves as a reminder that high-yield strategies face various pressures in maintaining distribution levels, especially in changing interest rate environments. The fund's transparency about potential return of capital components reflects regulatory compliance while alerting investors to monitor future Section 19 notices for the true economic nature of their distributions.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NHS) (the "Fund") has announced a distribution declaration of $0.0905 per share of common stock. The distribution announced today is payable on September 30, 2025, has a record date of September 15, 2025, and has an ex-date of September 15, 2025.

Under its level distribution policy, the Fund anticipates that it will make regular monthly distributions, subject to market conditions, of $0.0905 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, the cost of leverage 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 only of 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.
