NEW YORK, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuberger Berman, a private, independent, employee-owned investment manager, announced the launch of a tax-managed long/short strategy as part of its expansion of the Neuberger Berman Custom Direct Investing (NB CDI™) platform, with the first client portfolio incepting in May. The long/short strategy uses leverage (e.g., 130% long and 30% short) to seek to improve both pre-tax and after-tax returns.
This long/short strategy addresses the growing market interest in long/short approaches and may assist high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to better manage their tax liabilities. NB CDI™ currently manages $6.6 billion in assets as of May 30, 2025.
Neuberger Berman's approach blends quantitative and fundamental insights to enhance expected returns. With the addition of this capability, the firm now offers a comprehensive tax-aware toolkit for clients in the U.S. and Canada, including:
"Our wealth clients, and increasingly endowments, are coming to us to help them manage their portfolios with a tax-aware lens," said Scott Kilgallen, Managing Director and Head of North American Intermediary at Neuberger Berman. "This new long/short strategy is designed to help investors manage both their pre-tax and after-tax liabilities with an eye toward what we call 'tax alpha.' As the tax landscape continues to shift and evolve, customizable and adaptive strategies for managing tax burdens and generating alpha are becoming a core focus for our investors."
