Not Rated

Ratings (other than U.S. Treasury securities or securities issued or backed by U.S. agencies) provided by Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch. For certain securities that are not rated by any of these three agencies, credit ratings from other agencies may be used. Where the rating agencies rate a security differently, Lord Abbett uses the average rating based on numeric values assigned to each rating. Ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Bonds rated BBB or above are considered investment grade. Credit ratings BB and below are lower-rated securities (junk bonds). High-yielding, non-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risks than investment-grade bonds. Adverse conditions may affect the issuer's ability to pay interest and principal on these securities. A portion of the portfolio's securities may not be rated. Breakdown is not an S&P credit rating or an opinion of S&P as to the creditworthiness of such portfolio. Ratings apply to the credit worthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not the fund or its shares. Ratings may be subject to change.

Average Coupon - The weighted average annual rate of interest on a bond’s face value that the issuer agrees to pay the holder until maturity for all the securities in a portfolio.

Average Maturity - The length of time until the average security in a portfolio will mature or be redeemed by its issuer in proportion to its dollar value. Indicating a portfolio’s sensitivity to general market interest rate changes, a longer average maturity implies greater relative portfolio volatility.

Average Effective Duration - The change in the value of a fixed income security that will result from a 1% change in interest rates, taking into account anticipated cash flow fluctuations from mortgage prepayments, puts, adjustable coupons, and potential call dates. Duration is expressed as a number of years, and generally, the larger a duration, the greater the interest-rate risk or reward for a portfolio’s underlying bond prices. Where applicable, certain investments, such as common or preferred stock, convertible bonds and convertible preferred stock, ETFs, ADRs, and CPI swaps and related futures, are excluded from these calculations.

Yield-To-Worst - The yield-to-worst (YTW) is the lowest potential yield that can be received on a bond without the issuer actually defaulting. YTW is calculated by making worst-case scenario assumptions on the issue by calculating the return that would be received if the issuer uses provisions, including prepayments, calls or sinking funds. Average YTW is based on the weighted average YTW of the securities held in the Fund’s portfolio.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

 

The Fund is structured as an unlisted closed-end interval fund.  Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly offers to repurchase between 5% and 25% of its outstanding shares at net asset value, subject to applicable law and approval of the Board of Trustees. The Fund currently expects to offer to repurchase 5% of outstanding shares per quarter.  There is no secondary market for the Fund’s shares and none is expected to develop.  There is no guarantee that an investor will be able to tender all or any of their requested Fund shares in a periodic repurchase offer.  Investors should consider shares of the Fund to be an illiquid investment.

Although the Fund may impose a repurchase fee of up to 2.00% on shares accepted for repurchase by the Fund that have been held for less than one year, the Fund does not currently intend to impose such a fee.  Please refer to the Fund's prospectus for additional information.

The Fund’s ability to be fully invested and achieve its investment objective may be affected by the need to fund repurchase obligations. In addition, the fees and costs associated with investing in an interval fund may be significantly greater than those of other fund structures.

New Fund Risk: The Fund is newly organized. There can be no assurance that the Fund will reach or maintain a sufficient asset size to effectively implement its investment strategy.
 

A Note about Risk: The Fund is subject to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities, including market, credit, liquidity, and interest rate risk. The Fund may invest in high-yield, lower-rated securities, sometimes called junk bonds. These securities carry increased risks of price volatility, illiquidity, and the possibility of default in the timely payment of interest and principal. The Fund may invest in debt securities of stressed and distressed issuers as well as in defaulted securities and debtor-in-possession financings, all of which may be considered Special Situations. Distressed and defaulted instruments generally present the same risks as investment in below investment grade instruments. However, in most cases, these risks are of a greater magnitude because of the uncertainties of investing in an issuer undergoing financial distress. The Fund may invest in foreign or emerging market securities, which may be adversely affected by economic, political, or regulatory factors and subject to currency volatility and greater liquidity risk. The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are subject to greater liquidity, leverage, and counterparty risk. These factors can affect Fund performance.

Because of the risks associated with the Fund’s ability to invest in high yield securities, loans and related instruments and mortgage-related and other asset-backed instruments, foreign (including emerging market) securities (and related exposure to foreign currencies), and the Fund’s ability to use leverage, an investment in the Fund should be considered speculative and involving a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial loss of investment. 

 

With Sales Charge - Returns with sales charges reflect applicable fees and expenses and include all distributions reinvested.

 

Without Sales Charge - Returns shown are without sales charges and 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.

 

Double-Digit Returns - instances of high double-digit returns were achieved primarily during favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable over time.   

 

Indexes reflect total return, unless otherwise specified, with all dividends reinvested. Indexes are unmanaged, do not reflect the deduction of fees or expenses, and are not available for direct investment. 

The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index is designed to mirror the investable universe of the U.S. dollar-denominated leveraged loan market. The CS Leveraged Loan Index is an unmanaged, trader-priced index that tracks leveraged loans. The CS Leveraged Loan Index, which includes reinvested dividends, has been taken from published sources.

 

Lipper Category Average - Peer group averages are based on universes of funds with the same investment objectives. The average return for the peer group is based on the returns of each individual fund within the group for the period shown. This average assumes reinvestment of dividends.

 

Fund Expense Ratio Detail: Reflects expenses for the Fund's fiscal year-end and is subject to change. Fund expenses may fluctuate with market volatility. A substantial reduction in Fund assets (since its most recently completed fiscal year), whether caused by market conditions or significant redemptions or both, will likely cause total operating expenses (as a percentage of Fund assets) to become higher than those shown.

 

1

12-Month Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a mutual fund pays out in dividends each year relative to its value with maximum sales charges and without sales charges. The fund’s dividend yield is calculated by dividing the fund’s income distributions over the previous year by the fund’s current value with maximum sales charges and without sales charges.

 

2The 30-Day Standardized Yield represents net investment income earned by a fund over a 30-day period. It is expressed as an annual percentage rate using a method of calculation adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The 30-day Standardized Yield does not reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50%applicable to Class A Shares. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I and Class U Shares. Yields for other share classes will vary.

 

3The 30-day Standardized Subsidized yields reflect fee waivers in effect. Without such fee waivers, yields would be reduced.  

 

4The Fund’s unsubsidized yields reflect what the yield would have been without the effect of fee waivers or expense limitation arrangements.
