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 06/30/2021

One of the primary themes this quarter has been to take profits in outperforming areas of the portfolio, primarily in the industrials and information technology sectors, and to rotate into underperforming areas, such as information technology services in Japan. While we took down exposure in select stocks (mainly) to take profits and reposition, we remain invested in many of these companies as we are confident in them long term. Within the real estate sector, we were heavily leaning towards logistics companies and work-from-home beneficiaries as the coronavirus pandemic accelerated the behavioral shift to online and the need for more sophisticated logistics solutions. We have taken a fair amount of this exposure down this quarter - taking profits from big winners in this category - as we shifted focus to reopening and recovery.
We continued to add to the financials sector. Part of our focus remained on well-capitalized and well-positioned banks in Emerging Markets. However, this quarter we also added to banks with rate sensitivity, given expectations of continued rate volatility in the near and mid-term. We remain constructive on Emerging Markets as we believe the long-term economic recovery brought about by positive vaccine news will disproportionately benefit these countries, especially as the banking segment had been particularly hurt last year.
We reduced some of the cyclicality in the portfolio over the quarter as we took profits in recent reopening winners. Within materials specifically, we reduced exposure to a few long-term holdings with copper exposure. While our longer-term outlook for copper supply is positive for the industry, there are more projects in the pipeline slated for the next two years, so the shortages we are seeing now might alleviate in the near term. In addition, the proposals to tax copper sales at higher rates in Chile and Peru have also led to our caution on mining companies in the region.
We still place most of our focus on individual companies and key themes we derive from intensive company research. One of these themes is that the COVID-19 pandemic will lead to permanent changes in consumer and corporate behaviors. In many cases, these shifts have already taken place, but in our view may now accelerate by three to five years. In many cases, these investments have performed exceedingly well, and we sold or reduced these positions as we shifted into underperforming areas like information technology services in Japan. We are also exploring the shift to cloud computing and storage. We believe that the need for a physical presence is diminishing and will benefit providers of innovative cloud solutions. The shift to online consumerism also brings our focus to online retail. The global pandemic has accelerated this existing trend and we are seeing higher adoption rates of e-commerce as a platform. Within online retail, profitability is increasing due to lower return rates, and this may be due to a shift in consumer preferences for social responsibility and waste consciousness, a theme that we believe is here to stay.
We believe coordinated global fiscal and monetary support will continue to have a positive impact on markets as liquidity is injected into the global economy. However, interest rates and inflation expectations began to rise as a result, with investors anticipating a substantially healthier economic backdrop. More recently, rates began to stabilize, while inflation readings continue to remain elevated. Whether rising inflation will be transitory or long-lasting is difficult to ascertain currently, but we are more certain that the economy should be back to full swing by the end of 2021. Therefore, we now have a portfolio that is more balanced between value and growth, as we have been taking profits in some of the earlier reopening and cyclicality plays.
We maintain our long-term exposure to Emerging Markets, but it falls below our historical weightings in the region as significant risks surrounding capacity to battle the COVID-19 pandemic remains. However, over the course of the last few months, we have been adding to the region, primarily focused on strong, well-capitalized banking franchises that we believe will be beneficiaries of an economic recovery. Most recently, we built positions in regional banks and insurance companies that will provide a ballast to interest rate sensitivity.

About Wilshire Attribution

The Wilshire Atlas Variance Analysis tool provides a methodology for explaining the difference in performance between a portfolio and its benchmark, based on the decomposition of returns. The user specifies the portfolio, index, link frequency, sector and weighting. The weighting can be shown as beginning, average or end weights and is used for display purposes only.

Average Weight (Portfolio): This is the average weight of each group in the portfolio. Alternatively, the weight at the end of the reporting period, or on average across the reporting period, may be selected.

Base Return (Portfolio): This is the weighted average holding period return for the securities in each group. This weighted average is calculated for each link period using beginning weights and then the resulting values are linked together to calculate the displayed value.

Average Weight (Benchmark): This is the average weight of each group in the benchmark. Alternatively, the weight at the end of the reporting period, or on average across the reporting period, may be selected.

Base Return (Benchmark): This is the weighted average holding period return for the benchmark securities in each group. This weighted average is calculated for each link period using beginning weights, then the resulting values are linked together to calculate the displayed value.

Stock Selection Variance: This is the success of selection decisions within each group versus the benchmark. It is calculated for each link period using the following equation: Stock Selection Variance = WP,G * (RP,G - RB,G), where WP,G = Weight of the group in the portfolio, RP,G = Return of the group in the portfolio, RB,G = Return of the group in the benchmark.

Group Weighting Variance: This is the result of weighting decisions in each group versus the benchmark. It is calculated for each link period using the following equation: Group Weighting Variance = (WP,G – WB,G) * (RB,G – RB,T), where WP,G = Weight of the group in the portfolio, WB,G = Weight of the group in the benchmark, RB,G = Return of the group in the benchmark, RB,T = Overall return of the benchmark.

Total Variance: This is the sum of group weighting and stock selection variances. This represents the amount of total variance that is explained by the selection and allocation decisions for each group.

Wilshire generated returns are calculated gross of fees based on end of day prices and do not capture intraday cash flow, price changes or trading activity, and therefore are subject to some variance from Lord Abbett returns. In addition, Wilshire and Lord Abbett may use different pricing sources and methodologies.

Not Classified securities represent those securities which have not been assigned an official GICS Direct classification. GICS Direct, a joint product of Standard & Poor’s and MSCI, provides industry classifications for more than 40,000 companies and over 45,000 securities. Not Classified securities may include, but are not limited to: Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), pink sheet-listed issues, pre-IPO placements, private placements, secondary issues, open-end funds, closed-end funds, and non-operating establishments.

Under certain circumstances, Lord Abbett may elect to have Wilshire map an ETF holding to the relevant characteristics represented by that ETF’s underlying index in order to reflect the exposure and performance contributed by the ETF to the overall portfolio. When this option is selected, Wilshire will remove the ETF from the Not Classified category and instead allocate the ETF’s exposures across the relevant attributes based on the composition of the ETF’s underlying index.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A Note about Risk: The Fund invests primarily in foreign small and mid cap company stocks, which tend to be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. or large cap company stocks. Foreign securities generally pose greater risks than domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations and higher transaction costs. Foreign investments 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. Small and mid cap companies may have more limited product lines, markets, or financial resources and typically experience a higher risk of failure than large cap companies. 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. 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.

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.

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.

The Fund's portfolio is actively managed and portfolio characteristics, such as individual holdings and sector weightings may change significantly over time. The portfolio data is for information only. It does not constitute a recommendation or an offer for a particular security or fund, nor should it be taken as a solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell securities or other investments.

Dividends and Capital Gains: The information presented in this section is intended for general information and is not intended to be relied upon and should not be relied upon, as financial, legal or tax advice for any particular investor. We strongly recommend that you contact your financial, legal or tax advisor regarding your particular tax situation.
