Portfolio Positioning as of 03/31/2019

Over the course of the first quarter, we increased the portfolio’s allocation to the information technology sector with the increase of its position in a U.S. - based provider of payment technology and software solutions. The portfolio remains underweight in the sector, relative to its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index.
We added to the portfolio’s allocation to the industrials sector with the purchases of shares in a France-based multinational rail transportation company and an American industrial tools and hardware company, decreasing the portfolio’s underweight in the sector, relative to the benchmark.
We decreased the portfolio’s allocation to the financials sector by selling its positions in a U.S. bank and a Swiss life insurance company. The portfolio shifted from an overweight to an underweight in the sector, relative to the benchmark.
Geographically, we increased the portfolio’s allocation to Emerging Markets, which represented approximately 7.9% of the portfolio, decreasing our underweight position to developing countries, relative to the benchmark. We also increased our allocation to Japan, decreasing our underweight position in the region, relative to the benchmark. We reduced the portfolio’s position in North America, moving from an overweight to an underweight position, relative to the benchmark. The portfolio remains overweight in Western Europe and the United Kingdom, and underweight in Emerging Markets, Asia Developed and Japan.

Expense ratio details, Click here.

The net expense ratio takes into account contractual fee waivers/expense reimbursements that currently are scheduled to remain in place through 02/29/2020. For periods when fees and expenses were waived and/or reimbursed, the Fund benefited by not bearing such expenses. Without such fee waivers/reimbursements, performance would have been lower.

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 R3 - The performance quotations for Class R3 reflect the following methods of calculation: (a) for periods prior to the inception date for Class R3, a restated figure is used based on the Fund's Class A performance, excluding the effect of Class A's maximum sales charge (which does not apply to Class R3, adjusted to reflect the Rule 12b-1 rate differential between Class A and Class R3, which has a higher 12b-1 fee than Class A; and (b) for periods after the inception date for Class R3, actual Class R3 performance is used reflecting all charges and fees applicable to Class R3 shares. Hypothetical performance data for Class R3, as measured from since inception of the Fund using the methodology described above, is not available if the Class A inception date is equal or greater than ten years old. Please refer to the Class R3 performance information for the inception date for Class R3. Please refer to the Class A performance information for the inception date for Class A.

Class R3 shares are only offered to certain eligible investors. For additional information, see the Fund’s current prospectus.

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 ACWI Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets.

The developed market country indices included are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

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.

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.
