Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares
at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a
5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Class
C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. The expense
example for Class C shares for the ten-year period reflects the conversion to Class A
shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 31% of the
average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund is a “fund-of-funds” that invests in affiliated investment companies (the
“underlying funds”) managed by Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”). Under
normal conditions, through the underlying funds, the Fund indirectly invests in U.S.
equity securities across all market capitalization ranges and all investment styles,
fixed income securities of various types, and select foreign (including emerging
market) securities. The Fund tactically allocates its assets among these asset classes
in response to market conditions or to seek to capitalize on investment opportunities.
The Fund uses a “blend” strategy to gain investment exposure to both growth and
value stocks, or to stocks with characteristics of both.
Equity securities in which an underlying fund may invest include common stocks,
preferred stocks, equity interests in trusts (including real estate investment trusts
(“REITs”) and privately offered trusts), partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability
companies and vehicles with similar legal structures, and other instruments with
similar characteristics.
Currently, the underlying funds invest in fixed income securities consisting
principally of high-yield debt securities, investment grade debt securities, mortgage-
related and other asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, U.S. Government
securities, convertible securities, bank loans, inflation-linked investments, and cash
equivalents. Certain of the underlying funds may invest up to 100% of their assets in
