The performance quoted represents past performance, which is no indication of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Returns shown include the reinvestment of all distributions. Returns shown at net asset value do not reflect the current maximum sales charge, had the sales charge been included, returns would have been lower. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, on any given day or when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Therefore, there can be no assurance for future results.

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 median, but if there are only two ratings, the lower rating is used. 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.

Yield to maturity (YTM) represents the expected total return on a bond (expressed as an annualized rate) based on the bond’s expected future cash flows, including coupon payments over the life of the bond and the bond’s principal value received at maturity.

Modified Duration - The change in the value of a fixed income security that will result from a 1% change in interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years, and generally, the larger a portfolio’s duration, the greater the interest-rate risk or reward for underlying bond prices. Where applicable, securities, such as common or preferred stock, convertible bonds and convertible preferred stock, ETFs and ADRs and futures, are excluded from these calculations.

Minimum initial investment varies 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.      

                    

1

The 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). Yields for other share classes will vary.

 

2

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

 

3

The 30-day Standardized Unsubsidized yield does not reflect fee waivers.

Effective August 1, 2018, the Fund changed its name from Lord Abbett Emerging Markets Currency Fund to Lord Abbett Emerging Markets Bond Fund and transitioned its investment approach from an emerging market currency-oriented strategy to a strategy of investing in a diversified portfolio of emerging market corporate and sovereign bonds. Therefore, the performance and the characteristics for the periods prior to August 1, 2018 are not representative of the Fund's current investment strategy. The change in investment approach may affect the Fund's performance.

 

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. Investing in the bond market is also subject to issuer, call, and inflation risk; investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. Bonds issued or guaranteed by foreign governments and governmental entities (commonly referred to as ''sovereign debt'') present risks not associated with investments in other types of bonds. The sovereign government or governmental entity issuing or guaranteeing the debt may be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal owed. The securities markets of emerging market countries tend to be less liquid, especially subject to greater price volatility, have a smaller market capitalization, have less government regulation and may not be subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements as securities markets in more developed countries. Further, investing in the securities of issuers located in certain emerging countries may present a greater risk of loss resulting from problems in security registration and custody or substantial economic or political disruptions. The Fund may invest substantially in derivatives, which are subject to certain risks such as liquidity, market, and counterparty risk and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could cause the Fund to lose more than the amount invested. High-yield, lower-rated securities involve greater credit risk, price volatility, illiquidity, and default risk than higher-rated securities. These factors can affect Fund performance.

 

Performance data quoted is historical. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, on any given day or when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent quarter-end, go to quarter ending performance on our Website or call Lord Abbett at (888) 522-2388.

The net expense ratio for Class F takes into account a contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement that currently is scheduled to remain in place through 04/30/2020. For periods when fees and expenses were waived and/or reimbursed, the share class benefited by not bearing such expenses. Without such waivers, performance would have been lower.

 

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.   

 

The Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI® Global): The EMBI Global tracks returns for the US dollar-denominated debt intruments issued by emerging market soverign and quasi-sovereign entities:Brady bonds, loans, Eurobonds.

 

The Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified (EMBI® Global Diversified): The EMBI Global Diversified is a uniquely-weighted version of the EMBI Global. It limits the weights of those index countries with larger debt stocks by only including specified portions of these countries' eligible current face amounts of debt outstanding. The countries covered in the EMBI Global Diversified are identical to those covered by the EMBI Global. 

 

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.

 

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.

 

 

Lipper Category Average Expense Ratio reflects the average net expenses of Class A shares of all funds with in the peer group based on Lipper data available.
