International Dividend Income Fund (LIDAX) - 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.

⁺ Minimum initial investment vary 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.

A Note about Risk: The value of investments in equity securities will fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and to changes in the prospects of particular companies and/or sectors in the economy. Foreign securities in which the Fund primarily invests generally pose greater risks than domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations and higher transaction costs. Foreign investments also may be affected by changes in currency rates or currency controls. With respect to certain foreign countries, there is a possibility of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding or other taxes, and political or social instability that could affect investments in those countries. These risks can be greater in the case of emerging country securities. The market may fail to recognize the intrinsic value of particular dividend-paying stocks the Fund may hold. In addition to large company stocks, the Fund may invest in mid- and small-sized stocks, which tend to be more volatile and may be less able to weather economic shifts or other adverse developments. These factors can affect Fund performance.

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