- Neuberger Berman Large Cap Value Fund Trust Class (NBPTX) is an open-ended mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of large-capitalization companies, defined as those within the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Value Index at the time of purchase; the fund employs a bottom-up, conviction-based value investment approach focused on well-managed companies with undervalued stock prices due for catalyst-driven normalization within 12-18 months, emphasizing industries starved of capital and capacity. Portfolio managers target upside participation while mitigating downside risk through rigorous fundamental research, with key sectors including financial services, healthcare, basic materials, energy, and industrials; top holdings feature companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp., Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Southern Copper Corp., and Boeing Co., representing approximately 18% of the portfolio. The Trust Class carries a net expense ratio of 0.95%, with total net assets exceeding $8.6 billion and a portfolio turnover rate of 81% as of the most recent fiscal year.
Neuberger Berman Large Cap Value Fund Trust Class operates within the large value category, primarily targeting U.S. equities (over 90% allocation) with limited exposure to non-U.S. stocks, cash, and select regions including Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australasia; it serves institutional investors, advisors, high-net-worth individuals, and mutual fund investors through financial intermediaries. The fund, domiciled in the United States and available for sale therein with no minimum initial investment or loads, is managed by Eli Salzmann (since December 2011) and David Levine (since April 2021).
Neuberger Berman Group LLC, the fund's investment adviser and a privately held, employee-owned firm founded in 1939 and headquartered at 1290 Avenue of the Americas in New York City, oversees the fund as part of its broad capabilities in equities, fixed income, private equity, and alternatives, managing over $558 billion in client assets globally across offices in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and other regions. The NBPTX share class launched on August 30, 1993.
In recent developments as of December 2025, Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC announced simplifications to the names of certain funds, including this one, effective immediately to enhance marketing clarity. The firm has also pursued major fundraising successes, closing NB Strategic Capital Fund II above its $2.5 billion target at over $4 billion in June 2025 for GP-led secondary deals and NB Strategic Co-Investment Partners V at $2.8 billion in July 2025, raising approximately $6 billion in co-investment capital since January 2024 amid strong investor demand for its private markets platform. These initiatives underscore Neuberger Berman's strategic expansion in alternatives, complementing its core mutual fund offerings like NBPTX.
