NEW YORK, March 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund Inc. (NYSE MKT: NRO) (the "Fund") announced today that the Fund has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a notice of intention to redeem all of its issued and outstanding Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares (the "Preferred Stock").
