Neuberger High Yield Strategies Fund owns high-yield debt from U.S. and overseas borrowers. It collects bond interest, but credit losses and the amount recovered after a default can reshape the income case.

How the business works
Bond interest becomes net investment income after fund and financing costs. Defaults, recoveries and price changes affect NAV and investment gains or losses separately.
Extras are shown separately and are not assumed to repeat.

Reported earnings and sources
Reported earnings for the latest four periods. Compare the same earnings measure across periods; different measures are not added together.
Cash distributions are the total paid per share during each reporting period, including any gains or return of capital. Period lengths may differ, so compare the dates before comparing amounts. Short periods are not annualized.
NAV change excludes distributions. Reported NAV total return includes reinvestment and is copied from the fund statement, not estimated by adding cash distributions to the NAV change.
Distribution and NAV evidence
Cash paid, opening and closing NAV, and the fund-reported NAV total return are separate observations. NAV change excludes distributions. These figures show outcomes, not which source funded a payment or whether future distributions are sustainable. Net investment income excludes investment gains and is not a payout-coverage ratio.
Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized$0.2400
$0.00$0.30
For the six months ended April 30, 2026, NHS recorded $0.24 of net investment income per common share and $0.54 of distributions. NAV moved from $7.44 to $6.82. Income paid for less than half the cash, and NAV fell, so the next report needs to clarify realized credit results and the sources of the distribution.
Bond interest, less expenses and financing costs, is the central recurring income source. A declared distribution can include gains or return of capital as well as investment income; its amount is not an earnings figure.
The earnings available to shareholders depend on the cash generated by these activities after operating and financing costs. Portfolio gains, financing proceeds and recurring income should be evaluated separately.
The portfolio information checked September 11, 2026 reports effective leverage of 32.98%.
Financing can increase earning assets, but its cost reduces income available to common shareholders. When borrowing costs rise or portfolio income falls, the distribution can become harder to sustain.
Neuberger High Yield Strategies Fund Inc. reported $0.2400 per share for 2025-11-01 through 2026-04-30, measured as Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized.
Actual per-share reporting period, without annualisation. Net investment income, realized gains, unrealized changes and cash distributions are different measures. This comparison is not the Fly High forward Dividend Coverage Ratio.
Losses or weaker cash generation in credit and multi-sector income investments can reduce the resources available for future distributions.
Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.
A maintained payment can exceed investment results. Review NAV and reported income together rather than treating distribution yield as total return.
