Past performance is not a reliable indicator or guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Returns shown include the reinvestment of all distributions. Returns shown at net asset value do not reflect the current maximum sales charge, had the sales charge been included, returns would have been lower. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, on any given day or when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A Note about Risk: The Fund invests primarily in U.S. and global small, mid-sized and micro-cap stocks, which tend to be more volatile and less liquid than large cap company stocks. The value of the underlying funds' investments and the net asset values of the shares of both the Fund and the underlying funds will fluctuate in response to various market and economic factors related to equity markets, as well as the financial condition and prospects of issuers in which the underlying funds invest. Investments in small, mid-sized and micro-cap company stocks typically involve greater risk, particularly in the short term, than those in larger, more established companies. Investments in either growth or value stocks may shift in and out of favor for long periods of time, depending on market and economic conditions. Investing internationally involves risks not associated with investing solely in the United States, such as currency fluctuation, political risk, differences in accounting and the limited availability of information. These risks can be greater in the case of emerging country securities. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with derivatives, which may be different from and greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other investments. These factors can affect Fund performance.

Performance data quoted is historical. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, on any given day or when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent quarter-end, go to quarter ending performance on our Website or call Lord Abbett at (888) 522-2388.

With Sales Charge - Returns with sales charges reflect applicable fees and expenses and include all distributions reinvested.

Without Sales Charge - Returns shown are without sales charges and have all distributions reinvested. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower.

Returns shown at less than a year reflect aggregate total returns.

Double-Digit Returns - instances of high double-digit returns were achieved primarily during favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable over time.

The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index.

Indexes reflect total return, unless otherwise specified, with all dividends reinvested. Indexes are unmanaged, do not reflect the deduction of fees or expenses, and are not available for direct investment.

Lipper Category Average - Peer group averages are based on universes of funds with the same investment objectives. The average return for the peer group is based on the returns of each individual fund within the group for the period shown. This average assumes reinvestment of dividends.

Fund Expense Ratio Detail: Reflects expenses for the Fund's fiscal year-end and is subject to change. Fund expenses may fluctuate with market volatility. A substantial reduction in Fund assets (since its most recently completed fiscal year), whether caused by market conditions or significant redemptions or both, will likely cause total operating expenses (as a percentage of Fund assets) to become higher than those shown.

Gross Expense Ratio includes Management fees, Distribution and Service (12b-1) fees, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, and Other Expenses.

The net expense ratio takes into account a voluntary fee waiver that Lord Abbett may discontinue at any time. For periods when fees and expenses were waived and/or reimbursed, the Fund benefited by not bearing such expenses. Without such waivers, performance would have been lower.

The Fund's portfolio is actively managed and portfolio characteristics, such as individual holdings and sector weightings may change significantly over time. The portfolio data is for information only. It does not constitute a recommendation or an offer for a particular security or fund, nor should it be taken as a solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell securities or other investments.

Dividends and Capital Gains: The information presented in this section is intended for general information and is not intended to be relied upon and should not be relied upon, as financial, legal or tax advice for any particular investor. We strongly recommend that you contact your financial, legal or tax advisor regarding your particular tax situation.

About Barron's Best Fund Families
Source: Barron's, "Best Fund Families of 2024." February 27, 2025. Used with permission. ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

The 2024 Barron’s Best Fund Families List ranks the active management ability of qualifying companies. Rankings are based on the asset-weighted one-year returns as of 12/31/24, excluding 12b-1 fees and sales loads, of a company’s actively managed fund line up in five asset class categories: US Equity, World Equity, Mixed Asset, Taxable Bond, and Tax-Exempt Bond as determined by Barron’s. Overall ranking based on aggregate, weighted score across the five asset categories. Performance data from Refinitiv Lipper.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Lord Abbett ranked overall #1 of 48, #6 of 46, and #23 of 46 for the 1- ,5-, and 10-year periods respectively. Lord Abbett ranked #1 of 48 in US Equity, #2 of 48 in Mixed Asset, #2 of 48 in Taxable Bond, and #5 of 48 in Tax-Exempt Bond.

How We Ranked the Fund Families
In ranking mutual and exchange-traded funds, our aim is to measure manager skill, independent of expenses beyond annual management fees. That is why we calculate returns before any 12b-1 fees are deducted. Similarly, fund loads, or sales charges, aren’t included in our calculation of returns.

Each fund’s performance is measured against all of the other funds in its LSEG Lipper category, with a percentile ranking of 100 being the highest and one the lowest. This result is then weighted by asset size relative to the fund family’s other assets in its general classification. If a family’s biggest funds do well, that boosts its overall ranking, and vice versa.

To be included in the ranking, a firm must have at least three funds in the general equity category, one in world equity, one in mixed equity such as a balanced or target-date fund, two taxable bond funds, and one national tax-exempt bond fund.

Single-sector and country equity funds are factored into the rankings as general equity. We exclude all index funds, but include actively managed ETFs and so-called smart-beta ETFs, which are passively managed but created from active strategies.

Finally, the score is multiplied by the weighting of its general classification, as determined by the Lipper universe of funds. The category weightings for 2024 were general equity, 39.1%; mixed asset, 21.6%; world equity, 15.3%; taxable bond,20.1%; and tax-exempt bond, 3.9%.

The category weightings for the five-year results were general equity, 39%; mixed asset, 21.7%; world equity, 15.3%; taxable bond, 19.9%; and tax-exempt bond, 4%.For the 10-year list, they were general equity, 40%; mixed asset, 22.1%; world equity, 14.8%; taxable bond, 19.2%; and tax[1]exempt bond, 3.9%. The weightings may not total 100 due to rounding.

How the scoring works: Say a fund in the general U.S. equity category has $500million in assets, accounting for half of the firm’s assets in that category, and its performance lands it in the 75th percentile for the category. The first calculation would be 75 times 0.5, which comes to 37.5. That score is then multiplied by 39.1%, general equity’s overall weighting in Lipper’s universe. So, it would be 37.5 times0.391, which equals 14.66. Similar calculations are done for each fund in our study; then the numbers are added for each category and overall. The shop with the highest total score wins. The same process is repeated to determine the five- and 10-year rankings.
