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 09/30/2020

Walmart, Inc. (2.2%), an American retail and wholesale business company, is the portfolio’s largest overweight stock position relative to its benchmark. We believe the company has made numerous positive changes in recent years which will be beneficial in the long-run, such as upgrading the management team and building a more agile, innovative and nimble corporate culture.
The Fund is overweight, relative to the benchmark, in Sanwa Holdings, Corp. (1.7%), a Japanese building materials company which manufactures, installs, and maintains commercial shutters and garage doors. Stricter commercial buildings standards stipulating increased fire safety specifications for commercial shutters are expected to drive an upgrade cycle in the medium term. Management’s continuing shift towards the more defensive maintenance services business and highly reputable installation services create a strong value proposition for the customer.
Norfolk Southern, Corp. (1.7%), a rail transportation company operating primarily in the Southeastern, Eastern, and Midwestern United States, is another of the Fund’s overweight positions relative to its benchmark. Norfolk Southern is our favorite of the Class 1 railroads given its ongoing margin improvement opportunity through the implementation of Precision Scheduled Railroading (PSR) which sets up attractive incremental margins for the rest of 2020 and into 2021.
Key risks include the clear tradeoff between economic recovery and the spread of Covid-19, the shape of the ongoing U.S. social crisis/2020 U.S. Presidential election, and Sino-US relations.

The net expense ratio takes into account contractual fee waivers/expense reimbursements that currently are scheduled to remain in place through 02/28/2021. 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.

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.
