Neuberger NBXG Fund Discloses September 2026 Distribution Sources

Neuberger Next Generation Connectivity Fund Inc. (NYSE: NBXG) has notified shareholders of the sources underlying its September 2026 distribution, fulfilling a disclosure obligation mandated under Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The New York-based closed-end fund is required to inform investors whenever a distribution includes sources other than net investment income, such as realized capital gains or return of capital.

Section 19(a) notices are a standard regulatory mechanism designed to give fund investors a clearer picture of what is actually funding their periodic payments. When a managed distribution plan is in place — as is the case with NBXG — the fund pays out a set amount on a regular schedule regardless of whether current earnings fully cover that amount, making transparent sourcing disclosures particularly important for shareholder decision-making.

Shareholders are encouraged to review the full 19(a) notice carefully, as the composition of a distribution — whether derived from income, gains, or return of capital — can carry different tax implications.
