Lord Abbett Short Duration Income Fund - Class I CHF (Hedged)/  IE00BVFM4H20  /

The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund primarily invests in short term debt securities. At least 65% of its assets are held in investment grade debt securities, including corporate debt of U.S. issuers and U.S. Dollar denominated securities of non-U.S. issuers, mortgage-backed, other asset backed securities, securities issued or guaranteed by the U. S. government (including its agencies and government-sponsored enterprises) and inflation-linked investments. The Fund invests substantially in residential and commercial mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities. In addition, the Fund's investments in high yield ("High Yield") securities (which are below investment grade and also referred to as "junk bonds") and lower rated commercial mortgage-backed securities comprise a significant portion of the Fund's portfolio. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in any one or a combination of the following: High Yield securities, non-U.S. (including emerging market) debt securities that are denominated in non-U.S. currencies, convertible securities, and collateralised debt obligations. The Fund expects to maintain its average duration range between one and three years in order to seek to manage interest rate risk in the portfolio. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in third party floating or adjustable rate senior loans. Total assets in any one industry, other than mortgage related securities or those issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, will not exceed 25% of assets. The Fund employs a relative value-oriented investment process that emphasizes securities believed to be undervalued. The Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments ("FDIs") to seek to enhance returns, to attempt to hedge some of its investment risk, to manage portfolio duration, or as a substitute for holding the underlying reference asset on which the FDI is based. Any income less expenses realised will only be distributed to investors in distributing classes and will be accumulated in the net asset value per share for accumulation classes. The Fund is actively managed. It uses the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index HKD for performance comparison purposes. Investors can redeem shares each day (except Saturdays, Sundays, and normal bank holidays) on which banks in Dublin and New York are open for regular business.

Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, defined terms have the same meaning assigned in the Prospectus.
