About
Lord Abbett is a global, active asset manager, founded in 1929.

As an independent, private partnership that operates with a long-term mindset, we think in decades, not quarters.

We develop our capabilities with intention, investing where active management makes a difference across public and private markets. We build it right, or not at all.

We act with agility and transparency and move decisively when it counts to deliver an exceptional investment experience across changing markets.

Independent

Independence gives us the freedom to think long-term and act with conviction. We form our own views and challenge assumptions rather than follow convention. As a private partnership, we think in decades, not quarters, keeping our focus on what will create enduring value for our clients.

Intentional

We choose where to compete based on where we believe active management can make a difference. A defined set of investment strategies across equities, fixed income, municipals, and alternatives, reflects this focus. We invest deeply in our people, data, and technology to anticipate client needs, strengthen what works, and expand from demonstrated expertise.

Agile

As a private partnership, we move decisively when conditions warrant it, without losing sight of where clients need to be long-term. Nearly a century of experience informs every decision, giving us the perspective to act with conviction when it counts.

Leadership Team

Lord Abbett is led by Partners who bring a long-term mindset to the firm’s strategy, investment discipline, and client relationships.

Douglas B. Sieg

CEO & Managing Partner
