The performance quoted represents past performance, which is no indication 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. Therefore, there can be no assurance for future results.

Not Rated

Ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. Where the rating agencies rate a security differently, Lord Abbett uses the lower credit rating. Ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Bonds rated BBB or above are considered investment grade. Credit ratings BB and below are lower-rated securities (junk bonds). High-yielding, non investment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risks than investment grade bonds. Adverse conditions may affect the issuer's ability to pay interest and principal on these securities. A portion of the portfolio's securities may not be rated. Breakdown is not an S&P credit rating or an opinion of S&P as to the creditworthiness of such portfolio. Ratings apply to the credit worthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not the  fund or its shares. Ratings may be subject to change.

Portfolio Positioning as of 09/30/2024

  • We continued to focus on sourcing loans with higher carry. As starting yields remain above 8%, we believe that bank loans are an attractive source of carry. Within the Fund, we added to Single B-rating exposure, primarily through primary markets. We also maintained a modest underweight to BBs and focused on selective opportunities within CCCs as we believe that the current backdrop is favorable for floating rate risk. While there are concerns around slowing growth which may affect lower-rated issuers, there is much higher levels of dispersion within lower-rated credit which in our view provides attractive potential investment opportunities.
  • The Fund is more balanced in sector allocations. We have moved the Fund to be more balanced in relative sector positioning. The top two sector allocations continued to be Technology and Healthcare, which have continued to benefit from shifts in secular trends following the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we added to areas such as Utilities, which has tailwinds including growing demand and falling gas prices, and Media/Telecom, which should see some relief from lower interest rates. On the other hand, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to Aerospace, Gaming/Leisure and Energy over the period, primarily as a result of concerns around weaker consumer and economic activity.
  • We added to sectors that have historically benefited from a lower interest rate environment. With the Fed expected to implement further rate cuts in the near term, we have shifted focus to adding exposure in sectors that should benefit from a lower interest rate environment. These include sectors like Financial Services and Real Estate which have performed well in lower rate environments.
  • Bank loans may provide an opportunity to capture carry amidst a higher rate environment. We continue to be constructive on bank loans despite falling interest rates and concerns around growth in U.S. economy. Loan issuer fundamentals remain health over the last several years in the face of high base rates, and lower rates should benefit issuer balance sheets. Additionally, the current pace of easing priced into futures markets may be too aggressive, and a walk back of those expectations could lead to higher rates which should benefit bank loans. Additionally, the technical picture in loan land remains particularly robust given historic CLO issuance and a limited new issue pipeline. However, we remain wary of the lowest tier of risk given the high volume of liability management exercises from issuers and sponsors alike which we expect to continue to meaningfully weigh on recoveries. Key risk factors to watch remain a resurgence of inflation that upends the narrative accommodative monetary policy, a pivot by issuers to more credit-unfriendly uses of debt finance, and a macro or policy driven spike of interest rate volatility that would leave investors flipping to defensive with less focus on credit.

‡Morningstar Bank Loan Category. Data as of 06/30/2016. The Morningstar Bank Loan portfolios primarily invest in floating-rate loans instead of bonds. In exchange for their credit risk, these loans offer high interest payments that typically float above a common short-term benchmark such as the London Interbank Offered Rate or LIBOR.

+

Minimum initial investment varies depending on the class of shares you buy and the type of account. IRAs, SIMPLEs, and SEP accounts with payroll deductions have no minimums. Please see Fund prospectuses for additional information.      

                    

1

Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a mutual fund pays out in dividends each year relative to value with maximum sales charges and without sales charges. The dividend yield is calculated by annualizing the last dividend and dividing it by the fund’s net asset value with maximum sales charges and without sales charges.

 

2

The 30-day Standardized Subsidized yields reflect fee waivers in effect. Without such fee waivers, yields would be reduced.  

 

3

The 30-day Standardized Unsubsidized yield does not reflect fee waivers.

A Note about Risk: The Fund is subject to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities, including market, credit, liquidity, and interest rate risk. The value of investments in debt securities will fluctuate in response to market movements. When interest rates rise, the prices of debt securities are likely to decline, and when interest rates fall, the prices of debt securities tend to rise. The Fund may invest substantially in high yield, lower-rated securities. These securities carry increased risks of price volatility, illiquidity, and the possibility of default in the timely payment of interest and principal. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan's value. The Fund may invest in foreign or emerging market securities, which may be adversely affected by economic, political, or regulatory factors and subject to currency volatility and greater liquidity risk. The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are subject to greater liquidity, leverage, and counterparty risk. Certain of the Fund's derivative transactions may give rise to leverage risk. Leverage, including borrowing for investment purposes, may increase volatility in the Fund by magnifying the effect of changes in the value of the Fund's holdings. The use of leverage may cause investors in the Fund to lose more money in adverse environments than would have been the case in the absence of leverage. These factors may 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.

Class A  Except as noted below, returns with sales charges reflect a maximum sales charge of 5.75% for equity funds, 2.25% for all tax-free income funds, fixed income funds and multi-asset class funds. There are also ongoing 12b-1 service fees (and, in certain cases, distribution fees).

Class A Shares purchased subject to a front-end sales charge have no contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). However, certain purchases of Class A shares made without a front-end sales charge may be subject to a CDSC of 1% if the shares are redeemed before the first day of the month in which the one year anniversary of the purchase falls. The CDSC is not reflected in the performance with maximum sales charge.

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.   

 

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.

 

The Overall Morningstar RatingTM is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with a fund's three-, five-, and 10-year (as applicable) Morningstar RatingTM metrics. © Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved. The information contained herein (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.

 

Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Load-waived ratings do not include any front-end sales charges (which are only available for certain defined contribution plans and certain mutual fund advisory programs) and should only be considered by investors who are not subject to sales loads. Not all funds with a load-waived rating may waive their front-end load. An investor should check with their advisor to determine if they are eligible to purchase the load-waived Class A share. The top 10% of the funds in an investment category receive 5 stars, 22.5% receive 4 stars, 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages). The Overall Morningstar rating is a weighted average of funds' three-, five-, and 10-year (as applicable) ratings. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Morningstar Rating is for the Class A share only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.

 

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.

 

 

Lipper Category Average Expense Ratio reflects the average net expenses of Class A shares of all funds with in the peer group based on Lipper data available.
