NBSM

Neuberger Berman Small-Mid Cap ETF

NBSM Description

NBSM focuses on capital growth primarily through investments in small- and mid-cap firms. The fund seeks out undervalued companies with strong market positions and financial health, mainly in domestic markets with a minor proportion in foreign securities. Utilizing a bottom-up analysis, the fund manager identifies organizations they believe are valued below their intrinsic worth. Key considerations include historical returns, market niche, barriers to entry, and self-financing capabilities, emphasizing companies with established business operations over speculative growth prospects. NBSM aims to capitalize on market inefficiencies and manage risks through diversification and fundamental analysis. Furthermore, the manager also takes into account ESG factors into their decision making whenever applicable, aiming for a more comprehensive evaluation of potential investments. The fund may sell a security if it underperforms, reaches a set price or when better investment opportunities arise.
