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.

PORTFOLIO POSITIONING

as of 06/30/2024

  • We still place most of our focus on individual companies and key themes we derive from intensive company research. The semiconductor industry is showing signs of recovery, which is particularly beneficial for non-U.S. companies. After a challenging 2023, marked by inventory adjustments and reduced consumer electronics demand, 2024 promises a rebound, especially for North Asian firms central to the PC and smartphone supply chains. Factors like chip restocking, a revival in electronics markets, and sustained demand for AI chips fuel this optimism. Chipmakers with sufficient scale and a global footprint are well-positioned to benefit from these trends, in our view, thanks to their investment in research and specialized manufacturing.
  • We remain excited about the scope for change in Japan. Following years of deflation/low inflation, Japan is experiencing its strongest bout of inflation in 30 years. Rising wages and consumer prices, coupled with a significantly weaker yen, provide hope that Japan can change its nominal growth rate. In addition, over 40% of the companies listed in the benchmark Japanese index, the TOPIX 500, were trading below book value versus less than 5% in the U.S. benchmark, the S&P 500® index. Many of these companies have been asked by the Tokyo Stock Exchange to share their plans to raise profitability and returns. Another potential tailwind is that many Japanese companies continue to hoard cash, with net cash positions on their balance sheets, and Japanese households, who hold 50% of their financial assets in cash and equivalents, have not yet moved out of cash into stocks and bonds.
  • There is also growing optimism for a resurgence in global small-cap stocks. In 2023, these stocks underperformed compared to large-cap stocks, creating a significant valuation gap. The convergence of favorable factors, including potential changes in global central bank policies, suggests a bright future for small caps in 2024. Rate cuts in response to easing inflation could lower borrowing costs for small-cap companies, encouraging growth. Additionally, the potential for increased merger and acquisition activity is high, as lower funding costs could drive larger companies to acquire high-growth small-cap firms.
  • We believe that quality metrics, such as strong return on equity, free cash flow, and prudent balance sheet management, paired with long-term competitive advantages and pricing power, will prove to be key factors allowing companies to outperform.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

 

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 investing strategy.

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. The 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. Investments in either growth or value stocks may shift in and out of favor for long periods of time, depending on market and economic conditions. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with derivatives, which may be different from and greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other investments. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), investments in ETFs are subject to a variety of risks, including the risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying securities that the ETF holds. 

 

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.

Class A  Except as noted below, returns with sales charges reflect a maximum sales charge of 5.75% for equity funds, 2.25% for all tax-free income funds, fixed income funds and multi-asset class funds. 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.

Class A Shares purchased subject to a front-end sales charge have no contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). However, effective 12/1/2021, 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 of the 18-month anniversary of the purchase. Fund shares purchased without a sales charge prior to 12/1/2021 may be assessed a CDSC of 1% if they 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.

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 MSCI data may not be further redistributed or used as a basis for other indices or any securities or financial products. This report is not approved, reviewed or produced by MSCI.

The Overall Morningstar RatingTM is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with a fund's three-, five-, and 10-year (as applicable) Morningstar RatingTM metrics. © Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved. The information contained herein (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.

 

Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Load-waived ratings do not include any front-end sales charges (which are only available for certain defined contribution plans and certain mutual fund advisory programs) and should only be considered by investors who are not subject to sales loads. Not all funds with a load-waived rating may waive their front-end load. An investor should check with their advisor to determine if they are eligible to purchase the load-waived Class A share. The top 10% of the funds in an investment category receive 5 stars, 22.5% receive 4 stars, 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages). The Overall Morningstar rating is a weighted average of funds' three-, five-, and 10-year (as applicable) ratings. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Morningstar Rating is for the Class A share only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.

 

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.
