C000132118 Investment Objective and Strategy
Lord Abbett Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Lord Abbett Global Fund INC.
Investment objective
The Funds investment objective is total return.
Principal investment strategy
To pursue its investment objective, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in corporate debt securities that are tied economically to emerging market countries and derivative instruments that are intended to provide economic exposure to such securities. For purposes of this policy, the Fund considers emerging market countries to include every nation in the world except the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and most countries located in Western Europe. Although the Fund invests primarily in securities denominated in the U.S. dollar, the Fund may invest in securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies. The Fund may invest in derivatives consisting principally of swaps, options, forwards, and futures, for hedging or non-hedging purposes, or as a substitute for investing directly in emerging market debt securities.
The Fund may invest in all types of emerging market debt securities and derivative instruments, including corporate debt securities, government securities, senior loans, convertible securities, mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, inflation-linked investments, sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds, structured notes, hybrid or indexed securities, event-linked bonds, and government-sponsored enterprises, debentures, and derivatives based on the return of debt securities. The Fund may invest in securities of any credit quality, maturity, or duration. Although Lord Abbett expects to maintain an average duration for the Fund that generally is consistent with those of intermediate- to long-term debt funds, there are no duration restrictions on the Funds individual investments or its overall portfolio.
The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in high-yield debt securities (commonly referred to as below investment grade or junk bonds). High-yield debt securities are rated BB/Ba or lower at the time of purchase by an independent rating agency, or are unrated but deemed by Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (Lord Abbett) to be of comparable quality. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest in securities economically tied to at least three emerging market countries. However, from time to time the Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in securities tied economically to one country, including the U.S., to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. The Fund buys and sells securities using a relative value-oriented investment process and combines bottom-up and top-down analysis to construct its portfolio.
In selecting securities, portfolio management may overweight or underweight individual issuers, industries, sectors, countries, or regions relative to the benchmark. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities. The Fund may sell a security when the Fund believes the security is less likely to benefit from the current market and economic environment, shows signs of deteriorating fundamentals, or has reached its valuation target, among other reasons. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested in accordance with its investment objective. The Fund may, however, deviate entirely 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.
