Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (these charges vary among the share classes); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (these charges vary among the share classes); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
For each class of each Fund, the first line of the table on the following pages provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During Period 11/1/20 – 4/30/21” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class of each Fund, the second line of the table on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Funds’ Class P shares are closed to substantially all investors, with certain exceptions as set forth in the Funds’ prospectus.
Each of Alpha Strategy Fund’s, Focused Large Cap Value Fund’s, Focused Small Cap Value Fund’s, Global Equity Research Fund’s, Health Care Fund’s, International Equity Fund’s, International Opportunities Fund’s, and Value Opportunities Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Micro-Cap Growth Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. Alpha Strategy Fund invests principally in other funds (“Underlying Funds”) managed by Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”). Fundamental Equity Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and income without excessive fluctuations in market value. Durable Growth Fund’s, Growth Leaders Fund’s and Focused Growth Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. International Value Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of total return.
Each class of shares has different expenses and dividends. A front-end sales charge is normally added to the net asset value (“NAV”) for Class A shares. There is no front-end sales charge in the case of Class C, F, F3, I, P, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 shares, although there may be a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) in certain cases as follows: Class A shares purchased without a sales charge and redeemed before the first day of the month in which the one-year anniversary of the purchase falls (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in each Fund’s prospectus); and Class C shares redeemed before the first anniversary of purchase. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares on the 25th day of the month (or, if the 25th day is not a business day, the next business
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
day thereafter) following the eighth anniversary of the month on which the purchase order was accepted, provided that the Fund or financial intermediary through which a shareholder purchased Class C shares has records verifying that the C shares have been held at least eight years.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These Funds are considered investment companies under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
(a) | Investment Valuation–Under procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), each Fund’s investment manager, has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio investments and to ensure that prices utilized reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value. |
| |
| Securities actively traded on any recognized U.S. or non-U.S. exchange or on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Events occurring after the close of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Each Fund may utilize an independent fair valuation service in adjusting the valuations of foreign securities. Unlisted equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices. Exchange traded options and futures contracts are valued at the last quoted sale price in the market where they are principally traded. If no sale has occurred, the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices is used. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using daily forward exchange rates. Swaps are valued daily using independent pricing services or quotations from broker/dealers to the extent available. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) each business day at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. |
| |
| Securities for which prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including observable and unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information to determine the fair value of portfolio investments. The Board or a designated committee thereof regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee and may employ techniques such as reviewing related market activity, reviewing inputs and assumptions, and retrospectively comparing prices of subsequent purchases and sales transactions to fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee. |
| |
| Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
(b) | Security Transactions–Security transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost method. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. |
| |
(c) | Investment Income–Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis as earned. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method and are included in Interest and Other on the Statements of Operations. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Investment income is allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. |
| |
(d) | Income Taxes–It is the policy of each Fund to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no income tax provision is required. |
| |
| Each Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each Fund’s filed U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2017 through October 31, 2020. The statutes of limitations on the Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. |
| |
(e) | Expenses–Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual fund are generally allocated to the Funds within the Trust on a pro rata basis by relative net assets. Expenses, excluding class-specific expenses, are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. In addition, Class F3 and R6 bear only their class-specific shareholder servicing expenses. Class A, C, F, P, R2, R3 and R4 shares bear their class-specific share of all expenses and fees relating to the Funds’ 12b-1 Distribution Plan. |
| |
(f) | Foreign Transactions–The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the Fund’s records at the rate prevailing when earned or recorded. Asset and liability accounts that are denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted daily to reflect current exchange rates. The resultant exchange gains and losses upon settlement of such transactions are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions in each Fund’s Statement of Operations. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in market prices of the securities. |
| |
(g) | Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings or gain or reduce exposure to foreign currency solely for investment purposes. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The contracts are valued daily at forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency exchange contracts in each Fund’s Statement of Operations. The gain (loss) arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
| upon closing of such contracts is included in Net realized gain/(loss) on foreign currency exchange in each Fund’s Statement of Operations. |
| |
(h) | Futures Contracts–Each Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts to enhance returns, to attempt to economically hedge some of its investment risk, or as a substitute position in lieu of holding the underlying asset on which the instrument is based. At the time of entering into a futures transaction, an investor is required to deposit and maintain a specified amount of cash or eligible securities called “initial margin.” Subsequent payments made or received by a Fund called “variation margin” are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. Each Fund will record an unrealized gain (loss) based on the amount of variation margin. When a contract is closed, a realized gain (loss) is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. |
| |
(i) | Total Return Swaps–Each Fund may enter into total return swap agreements to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in that market. Each Fund may agree to make payments that are the equivalent of interest in exchange for the right to receive payments equivalent to any appreciation in the value of an underlying security, index or other asset, as well as receive payments equivalent to any distributions made on that asset, over the term of the swap. If the value of the asset underlying a total return swap declines over the term of the swap, each Fund also may be required to pay an amount equal to that decline in value to their counterparty. |
| |
(j) | Repurchase Agreements–Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to securities. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a fund acquires a security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (a bank or securities dealer) at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Each Fund requires at all times that the repurchase agreement be collateralized by cash, or by securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies, its instrumentalities, or U.S. Government sponsored enterprises having a value equal to, or in excess of, the value of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). If the seller of the agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the fair value of these securities has declined, a Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities. |
| |
(k) | Fair Value Measurements–Fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk-for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement, and is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below: |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
• | Level 1 – | unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; |
| | |
• | Level 2 – | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and |
| | |
• | Level 3 – | significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
| A summary of inputs used in valuing each Fund’s investments and other financial instruments as of April 30, 2021 and, if applicable, Level 3 rollforwards for the six months then ended is included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. |
| |
| Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the three-tier hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. |

4. | DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS |
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for International Value Fund, and annually for Alpha Strategy Fund, Durable Growth Fund, Focused Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund, Focused Small Cap Value Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, Global Equity Research Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, Health Care Fund, International Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Micro Cap Growth and Value Opportunities Fund. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by allowable capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amounts of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

6. | DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
International Equity Fund and International Opportunities Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the period ended April 30, 2021(as described in note 2(g)). A forward foreign currency exchange contract reduces each Fund’s exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will deliver (or settle in cash) and increases its exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will receive (or settle in cash) for the duration of the contract. Each Fund’s use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict currency movements, and each Fund’s returns could be reduced as a result. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Each Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
Global Equity Research Fund entered into E-Mini S&P Index futures contracts for the period ended April 30, 2021 (as described in note 2(h)) to manage cash. The Fund bears the risk that the underlying index will move unexpectedly, in which case the Fund may realize a loss. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees futures against default.
International Opportunities Fund entered into total return swaps on indexes for the six months ended April 30, 2021 (as described in note 2(i)) to hedge credit risk. The Fund may enter into total return swap agreements to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in that market. The Fund may agree to make payments that are the equivalent of interest in exchange for the right to receive payments equivalent to any appreciation in the value of an underlying security, index or other asset, as well as receive payments equivalent to any distributions made on that asset, over the term of the swap. If the value of the asset underlying a total return swap declines over the term of the swap, the Fund also may be required to pay an amount equal to that decline in value to their counterparty.
As of April 30, 2021, International Opportunities Fund had the following derivatives at fair value, grouped into risk categories that illustrate the Funds’ use of derivative instruments:
| International Opportunities Fund |
Asset Derivatives | | Equity Contracts |
Total Return Swap Contracts(1) | | $30,175 |

7. | DISCLOSURES ABOUT OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) requires disclosures intended to help better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund’s financial position. The following tables illustrate gross and net information about recognized assets and liabilities eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities; and disclose such amounts subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement, by a counterparty. A master netting agreement is an agreement between a fund and a counterparty which provides for the net settlement of amounts owed under all contracts traded under that agreement, as well as cash collateral, through a single payment by one party to the other in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. The Funds’ accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the master netting agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Funds and the applicable counterparty:

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
The Trust’s officers and one Trustee who are associated with Lord Abbett do not receive any compensation from the Trust for serving in such capacities. Independent Trustees’ fees are allocated among all Lord Abbett-sponsored funds based on the net assets of each fund. There is an equity-based plan available to all Independent Trustees under which Independent Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, Trustees’ fees. The deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in the funds. Such amounts and earnings accrued thereon are included in Trustees’ fees on the Statements of Operations and in Trustees’ fees payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid.
The Trust has entered into an arrangement with its transfer agent and custodian, whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of each Fund’s expenses.
For the period ended April 30, 2021, the Funds and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Participating Funds”) entered into a syndicated line of credit facility with various lenders for $1.17 billion (the “Syndicated Facility”) whereas State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) participated as a lender and as agent for the lenders. The Participating Funds were subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of Fund net assets (if Fund net assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, $600 million, or $900 million, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.
For the period ended April 30, 2021 the Participating Funds were party to an additional line of credit facility with SSB for $330 million (the “Bilateral Facility”), $250 million committed and $80 million uncommitted. Under the Bilateral Facility, the Participating Funds are subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of Fund net assets (if net assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, or $330 million, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.
The Syndicated Facility and the Bilateral Facility are to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to satisfy redemptions.
The Value Opportunities Fund utilized the Facility on January 13, 2021 and January 14, 2021 with an average borrowing amount of 9,527,500. The average interest rate during the period was 1.38% and total interest paid amounted to $729.
11. | INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM |
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC exemptive order”) certain registered open-end management investment companies managed by Lord Abbett, including each Fund, participate in a joint lending and borrowing program (the “Interfund Lending Program”). The SEC exemptive order allows the Funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes subject to the limitations and conditions.
For the period ended April 30, 2021, the following Funds participated as lenders in the Interfund Lending Program. For the period in which the loan was outstanding, the average amount loaned, interest rate and interest income were as follows:

12. | CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT |
SSB is the Trust’s custodian and accounting agent. SSB performs custodial, accounting and recordkeeping functions relating to portfolio transactions and calculating each Fund’s NAV.
13. | TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED ISSUERS |
An affiliated issuer is one in which a Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the outstanding voting securities of the underlying issuer at any point during the fiscal year or any company which is under common ownership or control. Alpha Strategy Fund had the following transactions with affiliated issuers (i.e. the Underlying Funds) during the six months ended April 30, 2021:

14. | SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT |
The Funds have established a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. for the lending of securities to qualified brokers in exchange for securities or cash collateral equal to at least the market value of securities loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Cash collateral is invested in an approved money market fund. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending agreement, the
173
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
market value of securities on loan is determined each day at the close of business and any additional collateral required to cover the value of securities on loan is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience a delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Any income earned from securities lending is included in Securities lending net income on the Statements of Operations.
The initial collateral received by the Funds is required to have a value equal to at least 100% of the market value of the securities loaned. The collateral must be marked-to-market daily to cover increases in the market value of the securities loaned (or potentially a decline in the value of the collateral). In general, the risk of borrower default will be borne by Citibank, N.A.; the Funds will bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. The advantage of such loans is that the Funds continue to receive income on loaned securities while receiving a portion of any securities lending fees and earning returns on the cash amounts which may be reinvested for the purchase of investments in securities.
As of April 30, 2021, the market value of securities loaned and collateral received for the Funds were as follows:
Funds | | Market Value of Securities Loaned | | | Collateral Received(1) | |
Durable Growth Fund | | $ | 95,832 | | | $ | 102,487 | |
Focused Small Cap Value Fund | | | 42,400 | | | | 50,000 | |
Growth Leaders Fund | | | 9,720,057 | | | | 10,395,019 | |
International Equity Fund | | | 6,660,365 | | | | 10,046,076 | |
International Opportunities Fund | | | 3,980,484 | | | | 4,256,764 | |
International Value Fund | | | 15,935,843 | | | | 29,217,786 | |
Micro-Cap Growth Fund | | | 8,055,568 | | | | 8,410,333 | |
(1) | Statements of Assets and Liabilities location: Payable for collateral due to broker for securities lending. |
Each Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with equity investing, as well as the particular risks associated with micro-cap growth stock. The value of the Funds’ investments will fluctuate in response to movements in the equity securities markets in general and to the changing prospects of individual companies in which the Funds invest. If a Fund’s assessment of a company’s value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds, even in a favorable market.
Micro-cap companies, in which Micro-Cap Growth Fund invests in may be subject to greater risks and may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions than larger, more established companies. There may be less liquidity in micro-cap company stocks, subjecting them to greater price fluctuations than larger company stocks. Micro cap companies also may fall out of favor relative to larger companies in certain market cycles. In the case of Micro-Cap Growth Fund, the growth stocks in which it generally invests may add to the Fund’s volatility. Moreover, different investment styles, such as growth investing, may shift in and out of favor over time, depending on market and economic conditions, as well as investor sentiment.
174
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
Large company stocks, in which Durable Growth Fund. Focused Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, Global Equity Research Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, International Equity Fund and International Value Fund invest, may perform differently than the market as a whole and other types of stocks, such as small company stocks. Small and mid-sized company stocks, in which Alpha Strategy Fund, Focused Small Cap Value Fund, Focused Growth Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, International Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund and Value Opportunities Fund invest, may be less able to weather economic shifts or other adverse developments than those of larger, more established companies.
In general, Durable Growth Fund, Focused Growth Fund and Growth Leaders Fund employ a growth investing style, Global Equity Research Fund employs a blended growth investing and value investing style, and Focused Large Cap Value Fund, Focused Small Cap Value Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, International Value Fund and Value Opportunities Fund employ a value investing style. Growth stocks generally are more volatile than value stocks. The price of value stocks may lag the market for long periods of time.
Global Equity Research Fund, International Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund and International Value Fund are subject to the risks of investing in foreign securities. Foreign securities may pose greater risks than domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations, economic, political, and social instability and subject to less government supervision, lack of transparency, inadequate regulatory and accounting standards, foreign taxes, and higher transaction costs. Foreign investments also may be affected by changes in currency rates or currency controls. These risks are generally greater for securities issued by companies in emerging market companies. Similarly, due to their investments in multinational and foreign companies, Alpha Strategy Fund, Durable Growth Fund, Focused Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund, Focused Small Cap Value Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, Health Care Fund, and Value Opportunities Fund are subject to the risks of investing in foreign securities and similarly may experience increased market, liquidity, currency, political, informational, and other risks.
Health Care Fund is subject to the risks of investing in the health care sector, including changes in government regulations, dependence on patents and intellectual property rights, expenses and losses from litigation based on product liability and similar claims, industry competition, extensive research and development, marketing, and sales costs, and rapid technological change and potential for product obsolescence. Health Care Fund is also subject to the risks of investing in structured securities. As a result, Health Care Fund is subject to the same risks associated with direct investments in the underlying securities or other instruments they seek to replicate, as well as liquidity risk and the risk that the issuer and/or the counterparty of the structured security may be unable to perform under the terms of the instrument, or may disagree as to the meaning or application of such terms.
International Value Fund is subject to the risks of investing in dividend paying stocks. Dividend paying stocks may be sensitive to changes in market interest rates, and the prices of such stocks may decline as rates rise. There is no guarantee that companies that currently pay dividends will continue to do so. International Value Fund may be subject to the volatility of stocks that have high dividends per share due to recent decreases in their share prices.
Alpha Strategy Fund’s investments are concentrated in the Underlying Funds and, as a result, the Fund’s performance is directly related to their performance and subject to their risks. In addition, the Fund is exposed to the same risks as the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the allocation of its assets among the Underlying Funds.
175
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
Alpha Strategy Fund, Global Equity Research Fund, Health Care Fund, International Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund and International Value Fund are 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. Derivatives may be subject to risks such as liquidity risk, leveraging risk, interest rate risk, market risk, and credit risk. Illiquid securities may lower the Funds’ returns since the Funds may be unable to sell these securities at their desired time or price. Derivatives also may involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the value of the underlying asset, rate or index. Whether a Fund’s use of derivatives is successful will depend on, among other things, the Fund’s ability to correctly forecast market movements, changes in foreign exchange and interest rates, and other factors. If a Fund incorrectly forecasts these and other factors, its performance could suffer. A Fund’s use of derivatives could result in a loss exceeding the amount of the Fund’s investment in these instruments.
Health Care Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund and Focused Small Cap Value Fund are subject to the general risks and considerations associated with investing in fixed income securities. The value of an investment will change as interest rates fluctuate and in response to market movements. When interest rates rise, the prices of fixed income securities are likely to decline; when interest rates fall, such prices tend to rise. Longer-term securities are usually more sensitive to interest rate changes. There is also the risk that an issuer of a fixed income security will fail to make timely payments of principal and/or interest to a Fund, a risk that is greater with high-yield bonds (sometimes called “junk bonds”) in which one or more of the Funds may invest. Some issuers, particularly of high-yield bonds, may default as to principal and/or interest payments after a Fund purchases their securities. A default, or concerns in the market about an increase in risk of default, may result in losses to each Fund. High-yield bonds are subject to greater price fluctuations and increased liquidity risk, as well as additional risks.
Focused Growth Fund and Focused Large Cap Value Fund are non-diversified mutual funds under the Act. The value of each Fund’s investments may be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory event than the value of the investments of a diversified mutual fund.
Durable Growth Fund, Focused Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund, Global Equity Research Fund and Health Care Fund are newly organized and there can be no assurance that a Fund will reach or maintain a sufficient asset size to effectively implement its investment strategy. A Fund’s gross expense ratio may fluctuate during its initial operating period because of the Fund’s relatively smaller asset size and, until the Fund achieves sufficient scale, a Fund shareholder may experience proportionally higher Fund expenses than would be experienced by shareholders of a fund with a larger asset base.
Geopolitical and other events (e.g., wars, terrorism, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak which began in late 2019) may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets, thereby decreasing the value of each Fund’s investments. Market disruptions can also prevent the Funds from implementing its investment strategies and achieving its investment objective.
The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in, among other things, border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity, lower consumer demand for goods and services, event cancellations and restrictions, service cancellations, reductions and other changes, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, and prolonged
176
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
quarantines, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak could negatively affect the global economy, the economies of individual countries, and the financial performance of individual issuers, sectors, industries, asset classes, and markets in significant and unforeseen ways.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects may last for an extended period of time, and in either case could result in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn or recession. The foregoing could disrupt the operations of each Fund and its service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of each Fund’s investments, and negatively impact each Fund’s performance and your investment in each Fund.
These factors can affect each Fund’s performance.

Approval of Advisory Contract
The Board, including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Company or of Lord Abbett, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), annually considers whether to approve the continuation of the existing management agreement between each Fund and Lord Abbett (the “Agreement”). In connection with its most recent approval, the Board reviewed materials relating specifically to the Agreement, as well as numerous materials received throughout the course of the year, including information about each Fund’s investment performance compared to the performance of one or more appropriate benchmarks. Before making its decision as to each Fund, the Board had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information, taking into account its knowledge of Lord Abbett gained through its meetings and discussions. These meetings and discussions included reviews of Fund performance conducted by members of the Contract Committee, the deliberations of the Contract Committee, and discussions between the Contract Committee and Lord Abbett’s management. The Independent Trustees also met with their independent legal counsel in various private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
The materials received by the Board as to each Fund included, but were not limited to: (1) for each Fund (other than Durable Growth Fund, which commenced operations in 2019), information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”) regarding the investment performance of the Fund compared to the investment performance of certain funds with similar investment styles as determined by Broadridge, based, in part, on the Fund’s Morningstar category (the “performance peer group”), and the investment performance of one or more appropriate benchmarks; (2) information provided by Broadridge regarding the expense ratios, contractual and actual management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund and certain funds in the same Morningstar category, with generally the same or similar share classes and operational characteristics, including asset size (the “expense peer group”); (3) certain supplemental investment performance information provided by Lord Abbett (for each Fund other than Durable Growth Fund); (4) information provided by Lord Abbett on the expense ratios, management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund; (5) sales and redemption information for the Fund; (6) information regarding Lord Abbett’s financial condition; (7) an analysis of the relative profitability of the Agreement to Lord Abbett; (8) information provided by Lord Abbett regarding the investment management fee schedules for Lord Abbett’s other advisory clients maintaining accounts with a similar investment strategy as the Fund (in the case of each Fund other than Alpha Strategy Fund, Durable Growth Fund, Focused Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund, Focused Small Cap Value Fund, Health Care Fund, International Equity Fund and International Value Fund); and (9) information regarding the personnel and other resources devoted by Lord Abbett to managing the Fund.
Investment Management and Related Services Generally. The Board considered the services provided by Lord Abbett to each Fund, including investment research, portfolio management, and trading, and Lord Abbett’s commitment to compliance with all applicable legal requirements. The Board also observed that Lord Abbett was solely engaged in the investment management business and accordingly did not experience the conflicts of interest that may result from being engaged in other lines of business. The Board considered the investment advisory services provided by Lord Abbett to other clients, the fees charged for the services, and the differences in the nature of the services provided to each Fund and other Lord Abbett Funds, on the one hand, and the services provided to other clients, on the other. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the investment services provided by Lord Abbett under the Agreement.
199
Approval of Advisory Contract (continued)
Investment Performance. The Board reviewed each Fund’s investment performance (other than Durable Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund and Health Care Fund, each of which commenced operations in 2019) in relation to that of its performance peer group and one or more appropriate benchmarks as of various periods ended June 30, 2020. As to Alpha Strategy Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was below the median of the performance peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. As to Focused Growth Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-year period. As to Focused Small Cap Value Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. As to Fundamental Equity Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods, and equal to the median of the performance peer group for the ten-year period. As to Global Equity Research Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one- and three-year periods. As to Growth Leaders Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. As to International Equity Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods, but below the median of the performance peer group for the ten-year period. As to International Opportunities Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-year period, but below the median of the performance peer group for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods. As to International Value Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one- and three-year periods, but below the median of the performance peer group for the five- and ten-year periods. As to Value Opportunities Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-, three-, and ten-year periods, and equal to the median of the performance peer group for the five-year period. As to Micro-Cap Growth Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. As to Durable Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund and Health Care Fund, the Board observed that the Funds commenced operations on November 1, 2019, July 26, 2019, and July 26, 2019, respectively, and therefore did not yet have investment performance for a full calendar year. With respect to each Fund, the Board took into account actions taken by Lord Abbett to attempt to improve equity fund performance. The Board also took into account changes to the Global Equity Research Fund’s investment strategies, effective June 30, 2020. The Board further considered Lord Abbett’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of other Lord Abbett-managed funds overseen by the Board, and the willingness of Lord Abbett to take steps intended to improve performance when appropriate. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded that each Fund’s Agreement should be continued.
Lord Abbett’s Personnel and Methods. The Board considered the qualifications of the personnel providing investment management services to each Fund, in light of its investment objective and discipline, and other services provided to each Fund by Lord Abbett. Among other things, the Board considered the size, experience, and turnover of Lord Abbett’s staff, Lord Abbett’s investment methodology and philosophy, and Lord Abbett’s approach to recruiting, training, and retaining personnel.
200
Approval of Advisory Contract (continued)
Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of compliance, administrative, and other services performed by Lord Abbett and the nature and extent of Lord Abbett’s supervision of third party service providers, including each Fund’s transfer agent and custodian.
Expenses. The Board considered the expense level of each Fund, including the contractual and actual management fee rates, and the expense levels of the Fund’s expense peer group. It also considered how the expense level of each Fund related to those of the expense peer group and the amount and nature of the fees paid by shareholders. As to Alpha Strategy Fund, the Board observed that while the net total expense ratio was above the median of the expense peer group, the Fund’s advisory fee (excluding underlying fund fees) was below the median of the expense peer group. As to Micro-Cap Growth Fund, the Board observed that the net total expense ratio was above the median of the expense peer group. As to each of Durable Growth Fund, Focused Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, Global Equity Research Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, Health Care Fund, International Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund, and International Value Fund, the Board observed that the net total expense ratio was below the median of the expense peer group. As to Focused Small Cap Value Fund and Value Opportunities Fund, the Board observed that the net total expense ratio was equal to the median of the expense peer group.
Profitability. As to each Fund, the Board considered the level of Lord Abbett’s operating margin in managing the Fund, including a review of Lord Abbett’s methodology for allocating its costs to its management of the Fund. It considered whether each Fund was profitable to Lord Abbett in connection with the Fund’s operation, including the fee that Lord Abbett receives from the Fund for providing administrative services to the Fund. The Board considered Lord Abbett’s profit margins excluding Lord Abbett’s marketing and distribution expenses. The Board also considered Lord Abbett’s profit margins, without those exclusions, in comparison with available industry data and how those profit margins could affect Lord Abbett’s ability to recruit and retain personnel. The Board recognized that Lord Abbett’s overall profitability was a factor in enabling it to attract and retain qualified personnel to provide services to each Fund. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of its overall approval of the Agreement, that Lord Abbett’s profitability with respect to each Fund was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. As to each Fund, the Board considered the extent to which there had been economies of scale in managing the Fund, whether the Fund’s shareholders had appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there was potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board also considered information provided by Lord Abbett regarding how it shares any potential economies of scale through its investments in its businesses supporting the Funds. With respect to Alpha Strategy Fund, Focused Small Cap Value Fund and Micro-Cap Growth Fund, the Board concluded that the existing management fee schedule, and, with respect to the Focused Small Cap Value Fund only, the Fund’s expense limitation agreement, adequately addressed any economies of scale in managing the Fund. With respect to each Fund other than Alpha Strategy Fund, Focused Small Cap Value Fund and Micro-Cap Growth Fund, the Board concluded that the existence of one or more contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s existing management fee schedule, and, with respect to each of Durable Growth Fund, Focused Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Value Fund, Global Equity Research Fund, Health Care Fund, International Equity Fund, and International Value Fund, the Fund’s expense limitation agreement, adequately addressed any economies of scale in managing the Fund.
201
Approval of Advisory Contract (concluded)
Other Benefits to Lord Abbett. As to each Fund, the Board considered the amount and nature of the fees paid by the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders to Lord Abbett and the Distributor for services other than investment advisory services, such as the fee that Lord Abbett receives from each Fund for providing administrative services to the Fund. The Board also considered the revenues and profitability of Lord Abbett’s investment advisory business apart from its mutual fund business, and the intangible benefits enjoyed by Lord Abbett by virtue of its relationship with each Fund. The Board observed that the Distributor receives 12b-1 fees from certain of the Lord Abbett Funds as to shares held in accounts for which there is no other broker of record, may retain a portion of the 12b-1 fees it receives, and receives a portion of the sales charges on sales and redemptions of some classes of shares of the Lord Abbett Funds. In addition, the Board observed that Lord Abbett accrues certain benefits for its business of providing investment advice to clients other than the Lord Abbett Funds, but that business also benefits the Funds. The Board also noted that Lord Abbett, as disclosed in the prospectus of each Fund, has entered into revenue sharing arrangements with certain entities that distribute shares of the Lord Abbett Funds. The Board also took into consideration the investment research that Lord Abbett receives as a result of client brokerage transactions.
Alternative Arrangements. As to each Fund, the Board considered whether, instead of approving continuation of the Agreement, it might be in the best interests of the Fund to implement one or more alternative arrangements, such as continuing to employ Lord Abbett, but on different terms. After considering all of the relevant factors, the Board unanimously found that continuation of the Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders and voted unanimously to approve the continuation of the Agreement on behalf of each Fund. As to each Fund, in considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as paramount or controlling. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. This summary does not discuss in detail all matters considered.

Householding
The Trust has adopted a policy that allows it to send only one copy of each Fund’s prospectus, proxy material, annual report and semiannual report to certain shareholders residing at the same “household.” This reduces Fund expenses, which benefits you and other shareholders. If you need additional copies or do not want your mailings to be “householded,” please call Lord Abbett at 888-522-2388 or send a written request with your name, the name of your fund or funds and your account number or numbers to Lord Abbett Family of Funds, P.O. Box 219336, Kansas City, MO 64121.
Proxy Voting Policies, Procedures and Records
