  • Rich Tradition

    Neuberger Berman’s commitment to investment management has deep roots. In 1939, renowned investor Roy Neuberger founded the firm to manage money for individuals and families. The firm thrived and grew, earning a reputation for excellent performance and integrity. In 1950, Neuberger Berman became one of the first firms to offer a no-load mutual fund to individual investors, and that mutual fund family grew alongside the private client business. In 1971, the firm launched a portfolio for institutions, marking its formal entry into the institutional investment management business. Today, we continue to serve a broad range of investors across traditional equity, fixed income and alternative asset classes, while offering portfolio advice and wealth planning services. Since our first application of “avoidance screens” in the 1940s to the launch of our Socially Responsive Investment team in 1989, Neuberger Berman has been on the forefront of integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into the investment process, which we continue to this day.
