Under normal conditions, the Fund pursues its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in floating or adjustable rate instruments and derivatives and other instruments that effectively enable the Fund to achieve a floating rate of income. The floating or adjustable rate instruments in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to:
·senior secured or unsecured floating rate loans or debt;
·second lien or other subordinated secured or unsecured floating rate loans or debt; and
·floating-rate structured (or securitized) products, including collateralized loan obligations.
The other instruments that effectively enable the Fund to achieve a floating rate of income may include, but are not limited to:
·fixed-rate loans or debt with respect to which the Fund has entered into derivative instruments to effectively convert the fixed-rate interest payments into floating or adjustable rate interest payments;
·exchange-traded funds or notes that provide exposure to floating or adjustable rate loans or obligations; and
·money market investment companies.
The Fund may invest in senior and subordinated loans or debt securities of any maturity or credit quality, including, without limitation, those rated below investment grade by a rating agency or, if unrated, determined by Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”) to be of comparable quality. Below investment grade securities are commonly referred to as “high-yield” or “junk” bonds and are speculative in nature.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in other types of debt securities and short-term instruments, including corporate debt securities and repurchase agreements. For the purposes of this limitation, where the Fund has entered into a derivatives instrument or other transaction intended to effectively convert fixed-rate interest payments on a debt security into floating or adjustable rate interest
payments, the value of the Fund’s investment in the fixed-rate debt security underlying the derivative instrument will not be counted towards this 20% limitation.
The Fund may invest in non-U.S. dollar-denominated loans or securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in loans and securities issued by issuers organized in a country outside of the U.S. or economically tied to a country outside of the U.S., including in emerging markets. The Fund will deem an issuer to be economically tied to a non-U.S. country by looking at a number of factors, including its country of domicile, the primary stock exchange on which it trades, the location from which the majority of its revenue comes, and its reporting currency. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any industry; however, this limitation does not apply to mortgage-backed securities, privately issued mortgage-related securities, or securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities.
The Fund may invest in derivative instruments. Currently, the Fund expects to invest in derivatives consisting principally of futures, forwards, options, and swaps. The Fund may use derivatives to seek to enhance returns; to attempt to hedge elements of its investment risk, on both a security- or portfolio-level basis; to manage portfolio duration; as a substitute for holding the underlying asset on which the derivative instrument is based; to effectively convert the fixed-rate interest payments of a debt security held by the Fund into floating or adjustable rate interest payments; or for cash management purposes.
The portfolio management team conducts fundamental research by analyzing industry and issuer specific data and performing quantitative and qualitative credit research. The portfolio management team’s portfolio construction process is based on positioning across the credit quality spectrum, seeking to maximize favorable industries, and selecting loans with attractive structural features. The portfolio management team seeks to reduce risk through portfolio diversification, credit analysis, assessment of risk/return potential, and attention to current developments and trends in interest rates and economic conditions. The investment team may also consider the risks and return potential presented by environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors in investment decisions.
The Fund may sell a security when the Fund believes the security is less likely to benefit from the current market and economic environment, or shows signs of deteriorating fundamentals, among other reasons. The Fund may deviate from the investment strategy described above for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund may miss certain investment opportunities if defensive strategies are used and thus may not achieve its investment objective.
