Lord Abbett Core Fixed Income Fund Class R2 LCRQX

The investment seeks income and capital appreciation to produce a high total return. 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 fixed income securities of various types. The manager expects to invest in derivatives consisting principally of futures, forwards, options, and swaps. It may use derivatives to seek to enhance returns, to attempt to hedge some of its investment risk, to manage portfolio duration, as a substitute for holding the underlying asset on which the derivative instrument is based, or for cash management purposes.
