- Neuberger Berman Genesis Fund Investor Class (NBGNX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in common stocks of small-capitalization companies, defined as those with total market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 2000 Index at the time of purchase; the fund may continue holding or add to positions that subsequently grow beyond this range. It targets high-quality small-cap growth companies exhibiting consistent free cash flow generation, above-average profitability, conservative balance sheets, sustainable growth prospects, and differentiated business models with durable competitive barriers, typically trading at below-average to average valuations; sector allocations emphasize industrials (approximately 33%), technology (20%), financial services (15%), consumer cyclical (9%), and healthcare (7%), with over 95% in U.S. equities, a small portion in non-U.S. stocks, and minimal cash holdings. The fund offers multiple share classes including Investor Class (NBGNX, net expense ratio 0.99%), Institutional Class (NBGIX), Trust Class (NBGEX), and others, with daily pricing, a minimum initial investment of $1,000 for Investor Class, and management by a dedicated team led by Robert D'Alelio (since 1997), Brett Reiner (since 2005), and Gregory Spiegel (since 2015). Launched on September 27, 1988, and domiciled in the United States, the fund is managed by Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC, with the firm's headquarters at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY. Total net assets stand at approximately $8.88 billion, with the Investor Class comprising about $1.49 billion. In recent developments, Neuberger Berman has simplified names across several of its funds effective December 18, 2025, as part of a marketing simplification initiative, though the Genesis Fund name remains unchanged; the firm also closed its NB Strategic Co-Investment Partners V fund at over $2.8 billion in July 2025, surpassing its target and bolstering its $140 billion private markets platform, and raised more than $4 billion for NB Strategic Capital Fund II in June 2025 to capitalize on secondary market opportunities.
