NEUBERGER BERMAN HIGH YIELD STRATEGIES FUND ANNOUNCES MONTHLY DISTRIBUTION

I recommend holding Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies for its 12.8% yield, despite its current high premium to NAV. The NHS closed-end fund benefits from lower interest rates, which increase bond prices, and has outperformed peers in total return YTD. The fund's steady monthly distributions and defensive portfolio make it a compelling high-yield income option.

NHS: High-Yield Bond CEF Yields Over 12% And May Benefit From Lower Rates

The Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund offers a 13.15% yield, appealing to income-seeking investors but raising concerns about sustainability going forward. The fund primarily invests in junk bonds and has underperformed relevant indices over the past seven months. The fund's leverage ratio has decreased to 27.50%, which is below the peer median, indicating a reasonable use of leverage for its strategy.

Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies offers a high yield of 14.46%, higher than other closed-end funds investing in junk bonds. The NHS closed-end fund's net asset value has been declining, raising concerns about the sustainability of its distribution. The NHS fund is doing a reasonably good job at protecting itself from default risk, which seems to be increasing with interest rates.

Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies offers a remarkable 14.25% distribution yield but has underperformed over the past year due to rising interest rates.

CEF NAVs took a big hit in June and continue to show downward trends as they have for most of this year. That trend is driven by wider spreads. Discounts have tightened a bit in recent weeks and are basically saying that a recession is not imminent. If a recession comes, much wider discounts are likely.
