Intermediate Tax Free Fund (LISAX) - Class A

Important Information
Maximum Offering Price (MOP) - Returns with sales charges reflect applicable fees and expenses and include all distributions reinvested.
Net Asset Value (NAV) - Returns shown at net asset value 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.
Instances of high double-digit returns were achieved primarily during favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable over time.

Class A- Except as noted below, returns with sales charges reflect a maximum sales charge of 5.75% for equity and strategic allocation funds, 4.75% for Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Fund, and 2.25% for all tax-free income funds and taxable fixed income funds (except for Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Fund). 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.


A Note about Risk: The value of an investment in the Fund will change as interest rates 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. A portion of the income derived from the Fund's portfolio may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Any capital gains realized may be subject to taxation. Federal, state, and local taxes may apply. There is a risk that a bond issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS as taxable, creating taxable rather than taxexempt income. In addition, the Fund is subject to other types of risks such as call, credit, liquidity, interest rate, and general market risks. Shareholders should consult with their tax advisors for more specific information on taxation.

¹ The Fund’s dividend yield is shown without sales charges (at NAV) and with maximum sales charges (at MOP).

Information regarding any fee waivers or expense limitation arrangements applicable to the Fund is provided with the Fund’s expense ratio information.
