Focused on Markets. Focused on Our Research.Focused on Our Clients.

For more than four decades, The Messinger Group has focused on serving clients by

taking a holistic approach to addressing their financial needs and delivering customized

solutions based on well-defined goals. Throughout the years we have built exceptionally

strong relationships with multiple generations of clients—relationships we never

stop developing. Our portfolio managers average more than 30 years of investment

experience. We offer strategies that seek protection of capital, income generation,

capital appreciation or a combination of these.

“ TAKE C ARE OF THE CLIENT, AND THE REST WILL

TAKE C ARE OF ITSELF.”

— MARTY MESSINGER, SENIOR ADVISOR, MESSINGER GROUP

Taking a Holistic Approach for our Clients

While Neuberger Berman is primarily known for its expertise as an investment adviser, we also provide a high level of personalized service to

our clients in many related disciplines. For example:

NEUBERGER BERMAN TRUST COMPANY

Headquartered in New York and Delaware, the trust company can act as corporate fiduciary for our clients and their families. While we do not provide

legal services, our experienced trust and estates professionals can help navigate complex issues when passing wealth to children and grandchildren.

WEALTH PLANNING Our firm has a number of Wealth Analysts who are CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals on staff, including one working directly

on our team. We can offer wealth analysis to help clients facing important long-term financial decisions.

PHILANTHROPY For clients who are philanthropically inclined, we can help plan charitable giving in partnership with the Neuberger Berman Trust Companies and

our Philanthropic Advisory Services team. This might include the use of charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder trusts, private foundations

and/or donor advised funds.

We can also collaborate with your key advisors, such as attorneys, accountants, insurance agents, business managers and other trusted

professionals to ensure we deliver advanced solutions in line with your tax, trust and estate planning circumstances.

Your Life through a Financial Lens

To us, being your investment adviser means taking a personal interest in your well-being. It is inevitable that, in life, new chapters will begin.

Transitions such as retirement, the sale of a business, divorce or the death of a spouse may affect your financial picture. You can be confident

knowing whatever important life event you face, you are not alone. That's why there are no “one-size-fits-all” solutions at Neuberger Berman

and The Messinger Group. We consider your investment and estate plans to be living documents, which we review on a regular basis.

P E R S O N A L I Z AT I O N : T H E H A L L M A R K O F O U R I N V E S T M E N T P R O C E S S

Assess Requirements We work with you individually to understand your objectives and attitudes toward risk.

Set Strategic Direction Based on your investor profile, we work together to design a target allocation across equity and fixed income asset classes.

Develop Portfolio We select investments for your portfolio that reflect our fundamental investment philosophy of diversification and risk management.

Maintain; RebalanceBecause markets move and goals evolve, we review your portfolio allocation and specific holdings on an ongoing basis. When returns of one or more holdings shift and allocations fall outside of target weightings, we rebalance to align with the target asset allocation.

Keep You Informed

We communicate in person, over the phone, via email and through periodic client updates. The purpose is to regularly assess progress toward your goals and discuss any changes in your circumstances and/or investment objectives. We share our views through quarterly performance reports, commentaries and The Messinger Group website (www.nb.com/messinger).

Are you able to retire comfortably?Long-time clients came for a visit and explained that they were hoping to retire in the next year or so. They had spent more than 30 years accumulating assets for this purpose and wanted to understand how things would work after they had left their jobs and switched to “spending mode.” Their key concerns were: Could they afford to maintain their current lifestyle in retirement? Should they change their asset allocation (the mix of stocks, bonds and other securities in their portfolio)? How would they manage their monthly expenses and other costs, such as vacations, once the direct deposit of their paychecks ended? After discussing several scenarios, we helped create a customized retirement plan.

Investment considerations for widows / widowers A recently widowed client reached out to us with a complex set of issues to discuss. The substantial estate that her husband had left would be divided among a handful of different accounts: She would have a personal account; she would be the income beneficiary of a marital trust for her benefit; she would be a potential beneficiary (but not the only beneficiary) of a trust for multiple generations; and she would have an IRA as beneficiary for the proceeds of her husband’s profit sharing plan. We were able to successfully partner with the client’s other advisers, including her accountant, to identify the income and estate tax considerations specific to each of these accounts. As a result, we were able to discuss a number of targeted investment solutions that, in our opinion, could help address her new financial circumstances.

Sometimes an investor’s complete financial picture can get complicated, so discussions are not limited to just the investment portfolio. Some example scenarios:

Implementing Solutions through an Integrated Investment Management Approach

Unique Needs of Corporate Executives

We can help navigate some of the intricate issues that corporate executives and others face, such as employee benefit plans and

concentrated positions of employer stock. For example:

• Providing education on transfers from Qualified Plans to an IRA

• Planning for the exercise of employee stock options

• Integrating pension benefits into asset allocation plans

• Hedging concentrated positions through options

• Using charitable giving techniques to address issues arising from low-cost stock holdings
