The grade scores this fund's specialist share — the slice that overlaps what the top 1% of proven funds are building. We ignore index ballast and names outside our edge on purpose: that slice is small, and it's what decides the outcome.

The read · what to do with it
NBSRX earns a B grade, ranking 107 of 440 graded funds, with specialists holding 35.6% of the book. The most striking early call is an 8.7% position in AMZN paired with Early Conviction reads on AMAT and an Emerging stage in BRK-B, suggesting the fund is leaning into a few concentrated bets before the crowd arrives. Higher graded funds exist within the same Neuberger Berman family.
→ Watch the Fading positions in CI, CL, and HD closely, as specialists are already reducing exposure in all three.
→ Compare NBSRX against higher graded funds in the Neuberger Berman family before adding new money, given the grade difference.
