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 9/30/2023

Our view is that the pressure on stock market valuations from the post-pandemic inflation surge and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s aggressive tightening is nearing an end, removing a major headwind for innovation stocks. While better than feared economic growth in the United States and the recent spike in oil prices has lowered the probability of Fed rate cuts, we still believe many of the drivers of falling “core” inflation remain intact.
Additionally, in an environment of moderate economic growth, we believe secular growth companies are positioned to outperform as their expanding markets, coupled with market-share gains, should allow continued strong compounding growth - which stands out relative to other parts of the market in a slowing economy. We saw some evidence of this beginning during the March and June earnings seasons.
Today, we are currently focused on several themes, including, but are not limited to, the AI revolution, the continued shift from offline consumption to online services, the proliferation of and improved use cases within medical devices, revolutionary advances in medical treatments, breakthroughs in genomics technology, the push to increase alternative energy consumption, and a sustained improvement in the structural growth rate of the industrial complex due to the impact of reshoring and post Covid supply chain strategy.
We also remain focused on companies with improving operating and price momentum, with an emphasis on strong revenue and profit growth – particularly in areas such as software, semiconductors, fintech, and industrials.

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 03/31/2024. 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

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, including market, liquidity, currency, and political risks. Mid cap company stocks tend to be more volatile and may be less liquid than large cap company stocks. Mid cap companies typically experience a higher risk of failure than large cap companies. Investments in growth companies can be more sensitive to the company's earnings and more volatile than the stock market in general. These factors can adversely 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.

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 Russell Midcap® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks are also members of the Russell 1000 Growth index.

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.

The Fund's portfolio is actively managed and portfolio characteristics, such as individual holdings and sector weightings may change significantly over time.
