Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (these charges vary among the share classes); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (these charges vary among the share classes); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021).
Actual Expenses
For each class of each Fund, the first line of the table on the following pages provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/21 – 6/30/21” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class of each Fund, the second line of the table on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Emerging Markets Bond Fund
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
Lord Abbett Global Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and was incorporated under Maryland law on February 23, 1988.
The Company consists of the following three funds (separately, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and their respective active share classes:
Funds | | Classes |
Lord Abbett Emerging Markets Bond Fund (“Emerging Markets Bond Fund”) | | A, C, F, F3, I, R3, R4, R5 and R6 |
Lord Abbett Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund (“Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund”) | | A, C, F, F3, I, R3, R4, R5 and R6 |
Lord Abbett Global Bond Fund (“Global Bond Fund”) | | A, C, F, F3, I, R3, R4, R5 and R6 |
Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund and Global Bond Fund are each diversified as defined in the Act and Emerging Markets Bond Fund is non-diversified as defined in the Act.
Emerging Markets Bond Fund’s investment objective is to seek high total return. Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund’s and Global Bond Fund’s investment objective is total return.
Each class of shares has different expenses and dividends. A front-end sales charge is normally added to the net asset value (“NAV”) for Class A shares. There is no front-end sales charge in the case of Class C, F, F3, I, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 shares, although there may be a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) in certain cases as follows: Class A shares purchased without a sales charge and redeemed before the first day of the month in which the one-year anniversary of the purchase falls (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in each Fund’s prospectus); Class C shares redeemed before the first anniversary of purchase. Class A shares purchased without a sales charge and redeemed before the first day of the month in which the one-year anniversary of the purchase falls (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in each Fund’s prospectus); and Class C shares redeemed before the first anniversary of purchase. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares on the 25th day of the month (or, if the 25th day is not a business day, the next business day thereafter) following the eighth anniversary of the month on which the purchase order was accepted, provided that the Fund or financial intermediary through which a shareholder purchased Class C shares has records verifying that the C shares have been held at least eight years.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These Funds are considered investment companies under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
(a) | Investment Valuation–Under procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”), Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), each Fund’s investment manager, has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio investments and to ensure that prices utilized reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures |
76
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
| allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value. |
| |
| Securities actively traded on any recognized U.S. or non-U.S. exchange or on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Events occurring after the close of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Each Fund may utilize an independent fair valuation service in adjusting the valuations of foreign securities. Unlisted equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices. Fixed income securities are valued based on evaluated prices supplied by independent pricing services, which reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations and the independent pricing services’ own electronic data processing techniques. Floating rate loans are valued at the average of bid and ask quotations obtained from dealers in loans on the basis of prices supplied by independent pricing services. Exchange traded options and futures contracts are valued at the last quoted sale price in the market where they are principally traded. If no sale has occurred, the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices is used. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using daily forward exchange rates. Swaps are valued daily using independent pricing services or quotations from broker/dealers to the extent available. |
| |
| Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their NAV each business day at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. |
| |
| Securities for which prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including observable and unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, yield curves, broker quotes, observable trading activity, option adjusted spread models and other relevant information to determine the fair value of portfolio investments. The Board or a designated committee thereof regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee and may employ techniques such as reviewing related market activity, reviewing inputs and assumptions, and retrospectively comparing prices of subsequent purchases and sales transactions to fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee. |
| |
| Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. |
| |
(b) | Security Transactions–Security transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost method. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. |
| |
(c) | Investment Income–Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis as earned. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method and are included in Interest and other on the Statements of Operations. Investment income is allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. |
77
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
(d) | Income Taxes–It is the policy of each Fund to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no income tax provision is required. |
| |
| Each Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each Fund’s filed U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020. The statutes of limitations on the Company’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. |
| |
(e) | Expenses–Expenses incurred by the Company that do not specifically relate to an individual fund are generally allocated to the funds within the Company on a pro rata basis by relative net assets. Expenses, excluding class-specific expenses, are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. In addition, Class F3 and R6 bear only their class-specific shareholder servicing expenses. Class A, C, F, R2, R3 and R4 shares bear their class-specific share of all expenses and fees relating to the Funds’ 12b-1 Distribution Plan. |
| |
(f) | Foreign Transactions–The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the Fund’s records at the rate prevailing when earned or recorded. Asset and liability accounts that are denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted daily to reflect current exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss), if applicable, is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in each Fund’s Statement of Operations. The resultant exchange gains and losses upon settlement of such transactions are included in Net realized gain (loss), if applicable, on forward foreign currency related transactions in each Fund’s Statement of Operations. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the forward foreign exchange rates from the changes in market prices of the securities. |
| |
| The Funds use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms. |
| |
(g) | Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings, or gain or reduce exposure to foreign currency solely for investment purposes. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The contracts are valued daily at forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss), if applicable, is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in each Fund’s Statement of Operations. The gain (loss) arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing of such contracts is included, if applicable, in Net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in each Fund’s Statement of Operations. |
| |
(h) | Futures Contracts–Each Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts to enhance returns, to attempt to economically hedge some of its investment risk, or as a substitute position in lieu of holding the underlying asset on which the instrument is based. At the time of entering into |
78
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
| a futures transaction, an investor is required to deposit and maintain a specified amount of cash or eligible securities called “initial margin.” Subsequent payments made or received by a Fund called “variation margin” are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. Each Fund will record an unrealized gain (loss) based on the amount of variation margin. When a contract is closed, a realized gain (loss) is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. |
| |
(i) | When-Issued, Forward Transactions or To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) Transactions–Each Fund may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or forward basis. When-issued, forward transactions or TBA transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase securities, with payment and delivery (“settlement”) to take place in the future, in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield at the time of entering into the transaction. During the period between purchase and settlement, the fair value of the securities will fluctuate and assets consisting of cash and/or marketable securities (normally short-term U.S. Government or U.S. Government sponsored enterprise securities) marked to market daily in an amount sufficient to make payment at settlement will be segregated at each Fund’s custodian in order to pay for the commitment. At the time each Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, it will record the transaction and reflect the liability for the purchase and fair value of the security in determining its NAV. Each Fund, generally, has the ability to close out a purchase obligation on or before the settlement date rather than take delivery of the security. Under no circumstances will settlement for such securities take place more than 120 days after the purchase date. |
| |
(j) | Mortgage Dollar Rolls–Each Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which a Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, each Fund loses the right to receive principal (including prepayments of principal) and interest paid on the securities sold. |
| |
(k) | Commercial Paper–Each Fund may purchase commercial paper. Commercial paper consists of unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations to finance short-term credit needs. Commercial paper is issued in bearer form with maturities generally not exceeding nine months. Commercial paper obligations may include variable amount master demand notes. |
| |
(l) | Repurchase Agreements–Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to securities. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a fund acquires a security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (a bank or securities dealer) at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Each Fund requires at all times that the repurchase agreement be collateralized by cash, or by securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies, its instrumentalities, or U.S. Government sponsored enterprises having a value equal to, or in excess of, the value of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). If the seller of the agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the fair value of these securities has declined, a Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities. |
| |
(m) | Interest Rate Swaps–Each Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements. Pursuant to interest rate swap agreements, a Fund either makes floating-rate payments to the counterparty (or Central counterparty clearing house (“CCP”) in the case of centrally cleared swaps) based on a benchmark interest rate in exchange for fixed-rate payments or a Fund makes fixed-rate payments to the counterparty (or in the case of a centrally cleared swap) in exchange for payments on a floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made, including |
79
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
| amortization of upfront payments/receipts, are recorded as realized gains or losses. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the CCP daily. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. A Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. In the case of centrally cleared swaps, counterparty risk is minimal due to protections provided by the CCP. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates. |
| |
(n) | Credit Default Swaps–Each Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts in order to hedge credit risk or for speculation purposes. As a seller of a credit default swap contract (“seller of protection”), a Fund is required to pay the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, a Fund receives from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. |
| |
| As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract (“buyer of protection”), a Fund would receive the notional amount or other agreed upon value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, a Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contracts, provided no event of default has occurred. |
| |
| These credit default swaps may have as a reference obligation corporate or sovereign issuers or credit indexes. These credit indexes are comprised of a basket of securities representing a particular sector of the market. |
| |
| Credit default swaps are fair valued based upon quotations from counterparties, brokers or market-makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value as appropriate (“variation margin”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For a credit default swap sold by a Fund, payment of the agreed-upon amount made by a Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap purchased by a Fund, the agreed-upon amount received by a Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by a Fund. |
| |
| Any upfront payments made or received upon entering a credit default swap contract would be amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gains or losses. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the custodian bank or broker in accordance with the swap agreement. The value and credit rating of each credit default swap where a Fund is the seller of protection, are both measures of the current payment/performance risk of the swap. As the value of the swap changes as a positive or negative percentage of the total notional amount, the payment/performance risk may decrease or increase, respectively. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon |
80
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
| entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities. |
| |
| Entering into credit default swaps involves credit and market risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, and that Lord Abbett does not correctly predict the creditworthiness of the issuers of the reference obligation on which the credit default swap is based. For centrally cleared swaps there was minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds, since the credit default swap entered into was traded through a central clearinghouse, which guarantees against default. |
| |
(o) | Floating Rate Loans–Each Fund may invest in floating rate loans, which usually take the form of loan participations and assignments. Loan participations and assignments are agreements to make money available to U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities (the “Borrower”) in a specified amount, at a specified rate and within a specified time. A loan is typically originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign bank, insurance company or other financial institution (the “Agent”) for a group of loan investors (“Loan Investors”). The Agent typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the other Loan Investors in the syndicate and may hold any collateral on behalf of the Loan Investors. Such loan participations and assignments are typically senior, secured and collateralized in nature. A Fund records an investment when the Borrower withdraws money and records interest as earned. These loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). |
| |
| The loans in which a Fund invests may be subject to some restrictions on resale. For example, a Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent and/or Borrower prior to the sale of these investments. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, each Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any other persons interpositioned between a Fund and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). In the event that the Borrower, selling participant or Intermediate Participants become insolvent or enter into bankruptcy, a Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. |
| |
| Unfunded commitments represent the remaining obligation of a Fund to the Borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the Borrower may demand the unfunded portion. Until demanded by the Borrower, unfunded commitments are not recognized as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Unrealized appreciation/depreciation on unfunded commitments presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represents mark to market of the unfunded portion of each Fund’s floating rate notes. As of December 31, 2020, the Funds have no unfunded loan commitments. |
| |
(p) | Fair Value Measurements–Fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or |
81
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
| liability, including assumptions about risk - for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement, and is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below: |
• | Level 1 – | unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; |
| | |
• | Level 2 – | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and |
| | |
• | Level 3 – | significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
| A summary of inputs used in valuing each Fund’s investments and other financial instruments as of June 30, 2021 and, if applicable, Level 3 rollforwards for the six months then ended is included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. |
| |
| Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the three-tier hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. |
3. | MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Management Fee
The Company has a management agreement with Lord Abbett, pursuant to which Lord Abbett supplies each Fund with investment management services and executive and other personnel, provides office space and pays for ordinary and necessary office and clerical expenses relating to research and statistical work and supervision of each Fund’s investment portfolio.
The management fee is based on each Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
Emerging Markets Bond Fund | | | | |
| | | | |
First $1 billion | | | .50 | % |
Over $1 billion | | | .45 | % |
| | | | |
Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund | | | | |
| | | | |
First $2 billion | | | .70 | % |
Next $3 billion | | | .65 | % |
Over $5 billion | | | .60 | % |
| | | | |
Global Bond Fund | | | | |
| | | | |
First $3 billion | | | .43 | % |
Over $3 billion | | | .40 | % |
| | | | |
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the effective management fee, net of waivers, was at the following annualized rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets:
82
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
| | Net Effective |
| | Management Fee |
Emerging Markets Bond Fund | | | .50% |
Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund | | | .40% |
Global Bond Fund | | | .00% |
In addition, Lord Abbett provides certain administrative services to each Fund pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement in return for a fee at an annual rate of .04% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Lord Abbett voluntarily waived the following fund administration fees during the six months ended June 30, 2021:
| | | Fund |
Fund | | Administration Fee |
Emerging Markets Bond Fund | | | $ | 6,455 |
Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund | | | | 5,038 |
Global Bond Fund | | | | 12,077 |
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and continuing through April 30, 2022, Lord Abbett has contractually agreed to waive its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the total net annual operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, to the following annual rates:
| Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund |
Classes | | | | |
A, C, F, I, R3, R4 and R5 | | 0.85% | | |
F3 and R6 | | 0.68% | | |
| | | | |
| | Global Bond Fund |
| | Effective | | Prior to |
Classes | | May 3, 2021 | | May 3, 2021 |
A, C, F, I, R3, R4 and R5 | | 0.58% | | 0.58% |
F3 and R6 | | 0.57% | | 0.53% |
All contractual management fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreements between the Funds and Lord Abbett may be terminated only upon approval of the Funds’ Board.
12b-1 Distribution Plan
Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan with respect to Class A, C, F, R2, R3 and R4 shares pursuant to Rule 12b1 under the Act, which provides for the payment of ongoing distribution and service fees to Lord Abbett Distributor LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Lord Abbett. The following annual rates have been authorized by the Board pursuant to the plan:
Fees* | | Class A | | Class C(1) | | Class F(2)(3) | | Class R3** | | Class R4 |
Service | | .15% | | .25% | | – | | .25% | | .25% |
Distribution | | .05% | | .75% | | .10% | | .25% | | – |
* | The Funds may designate a portion of the aggregate fee as attributable to service activities for purposes of calculating Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales charge limitations. |
** | Prior to the sale of shares to unaffiliated investors, service and distribution fees were fully waived. |
(1) | Each Fund’s Class C 12b-1 fee is a blended rate calculated based on 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares held for less than one year and .80% (.25% service, .55% distribution) of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares held for one year or more. All Class C shareholders of the Funds will bear Rule 12b-1 fees at the same rate. |
(2) | The Class F Shares Rule 12b-1 fee may be designated as a service fee in limited circumstances as described in the Funds’ prospectus. |
(3) | For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and continuing through April 30, 2022, the Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Emerging Markets Bond Fund’s and Global Bond Fund’s 0.10% Rule 12b-1 fee for Class F. These agreements may be terminated only by the Fund’s Board of Directors. |
Class F3, I, R5 and R6 shares do not have a distribution plan.

4. | DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS |
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly for the Funds. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by allowable capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amounts of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions that exceed earnings and profits for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.
The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 was as follows:

6. | DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
Each Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2021 (as described in note 2(g)). A forward foreign currency exchange contract reduces each Fund’s exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will deliver (or settle in cash) and increases its exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will receive (or settle in cash) for the duration of the contract. Each Fund’s use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict currency movements, and each Fund’s returns could be reduced as a result. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Each Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts and deposits with brokers as collateral.
Each Fund entered into futures contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2021 (as described in note 2(h)) to economically hedge against changes in interest rates. The Funds bear the risk of interest rates moving unexpectedly, in which case the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and realize a loss. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees futures against default. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to each Fund since centrally cleared credit default swaps are traded through a central clearinghouse. As the counterparty to all centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearinghouse guarantees credit default swaps against default.
Each Fund entered into credit default swaps for the six months ended June 30, 2021 (as described in note 2(n)) to hedge credit risk. Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of underlying securities within an index or the referenced obligation in the event of a defined credit event, such as payment default or bankruptcy. Under a credit default swap one party acts as a guarantor by receiving the fixed periodic payment in exchange for the commitment to purchase the underlying security at par or the referenced obligation if the defined credit event occurs. Upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the difference between the value of the reference obligation and the swap’s notional amount is recorded as realized gain or loss on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Each Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to each Fund since centrally cleared credit default swaps are traded through a central clearinghouse. As the counterparty to all centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearinghouse guarantees credit default swaps against default.
Emerging Markets Bond Fund entered into interest rate swaps for the six months ended June 30, 2021 (as described in note 2(m)) to economically hedge against interest rate risk. The Fund’s use of interest rate swaps involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict expectations of interest rates, and the Fund’s returns could be reduced as a result. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since centrally cleared interest rate swaps are traded through a central clearinghouse. As the counterparty to all centrally cleared interest rate swaps, the clearinghouse guarantees interest rate swaps against default.

7. | DISCLOSURES ABOUT OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) requires disclosures intended to help better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund’s financial position. The following tables illustrate gross and net information about recognized assets and liabilities eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities; and disclose such amounts subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement, by a counterparty. A master netting agreement is an agreement between a fund and a counterparty which provides for the net settlement of amounts owed under all contracts traded under that agreement, as well as cash collateral, through a single payment by one party to the other in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. The Funds’ accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the master netting agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Funds and the applicable counterparty:

8. | DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION |
The Company’s officers and the one Director who are associated with Lord Abbett do not receive any compensation from the Company for serving in such capacities. Independent Directors’ fees are allocated among all Lord Abbett-sponsored funds based on the net assets of each fund. There is an equity-based plan available to all Independent Directors under which Independent Directors must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, Directors’ fees. The deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in the Funds. Such amounts and earnings accrued thereon are included in Directors’ fees on the Statements of Operations and in Directors’ fees payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid.
The Company has entered into an arrangement with its transfer agent and custodian, whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of each Fund’s expenses.
For the period ended June 30, 2021, the Funds and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Participating Funds”) entered into a syndicated line of credit facility with various lenders for $1.17 billion (the “Syndicated Facility”) whereas State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) participated as a lender and as agent for the lenders. The Participating Funds were subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of Fund net assets (if Fund net assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, $600 million, or $900 million, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors. Effective August 5, 2021, the Participating Funds entered into a Syndicated Facility with various lenders for $1.275 billion whereas SSB participates as a lender and as agent for the lenders. The Participating Funds are subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of Fund net assets (if Fund net assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, $700 million, or $1 billion, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Participating Funds were party to an additional line of credit facility with SSB for $330 million (the “Bilateral Facility”), $250 million committed and $80 million uncommitted. Under the Bilateral Facility, the Participating Funds are subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of Fund net assets (if net assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, or $330 million, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.
The Syndicated Facility and the Bilateral Facility are to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to satisfy redemptions.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Funds did not utilize the Syndicated Facility or Bilateral Facility.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC exemptive order”), certain registered open-end management investment companies managed by Lord Abbett, including each Fund, participate in a joint lending and borrowing program (the “Interfund Lending Program”). The SEC exemptive order allows the Funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes subject to the limitations and conditions.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Funds did not participate as a borrower or lender in the Interfund Lending Program.
12. | CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT |
SSB is the Company’s custodian and accounting agent. SSB performs custodial, accounting and recordkeeping functions relating to portfolio transactions and calculating each Fund’s NAV.
13. | SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT |
The Funds have established a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. for the lending of securities to qualified brokers in exchange for securities or cash collateral equal to at least the market value of securities loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Cash collateral is invested in an approved money market fund. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending agreement, the market value of securities on loan is determined each day at the close of business and any additional collateral required to cover the value of securities on loan is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience a delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or becomes insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Any income earned from securities lending is included in Securities lending net income on the Statements of Operations.
The initial collateral received by the Funds are required to have a value equal to at least 100% of the market value of the securities loaned. The collateral must be marked-to-market daily to cover increases in the market value of the securities loaned (or potentially a decline in the value of the collateral). In general, the risk of borrower default will be borne by Citibank, N.A.; the Funds will bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. The advantage of such loans is that the Funds continue to receive income on loaned securities while receiving a portion of any securities lending fees and earning returns on the cash amounts which may be reinvested for the purchase of investments in securities.
As of June 30, 2021, the Funds did not loan any securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
Each Fund is subject to the risks of investing in securities that are issued by non-U.S. entities, the risks of investing in derivatives, liquidity risk, and the risks from leverage.
On July 27, 2017, the head of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced a delay in the phase out of a majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications to still end at the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on the Funds or the LIBOR-based instruments in which the Funds invest cannot yet be determined. The transition process might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based instruments. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior and/or subsequent to the end of 2021.
Foreign securities may pose greater risks than domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations, less government regulation, higher transaction costs and other costs, and delays in settlement to the extent they are traded on non-U.S. exchanges or markets. Foreign securities may also be subject to inadequate exchange control regulations and the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions. These risks generally are greater for emerging markets securities. Foreign investments also may be affected by changes in currency rates or currency controls.
The risks associated with derivatives may be different from and greater than the risks associated with directly investing in securities. Derivatives are subject to risks such as liquidity risk, leveraging risk, interest rate risk, market risk, and credit risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the value of the underlying asset, rate, or index. Whether a Fund’s use of derivatives is successful will depend on, among other things, the Fund’s ability to correctly forecast market movements, changes in foreign exchange and interest rates, and other factors. Losses may also arise from the failure of a derivative counterparty to meet its contractual obligations. If a Fund incorrectly forecasts these and other factors, its performance could suffer. A Fund’s use of derivatives could result in a loss exceeding the amount of the Fund’s investment in these instruments.
Emerging Markets Bond Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a greater portion of its assets in a single issuer than a diversified fund. Thus, the Fund may be exposed to greater risk.
Each Fund may invest in swap contracts. Swap contracts are bilateral agreements between a fund and its counterparty. Each party is exposed to the risk of default by the other. In addition, swap contracts may involve a small investment of cash compared to the risk assumed, with the result that small changes may produce disproportionate and substantial gains or losses to a Fund.
Each Fund may invest in convertible securities, which have both equity and fixed income risk characteristics. Generally, convertible securities offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality and less potential for gains or capital appreciation in a rising equity securities market than equity securities. They tend to be more volatile than other fixed income securities and the market for convertible securities may be less liquid than markets for stocks or bonds. A significant portion of convertible securities have below investment grade credit ratings and are subject to increased credit and liquidity risks.
93
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
Each Fund may invest in credit default swap and interest rate swap contracts. Such contracts are subject to the risk that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements. Credit default swaps are subject to the risk and that Lord Abbett does not correctly predict the creditworthiness of the issuers of the reference obligation on which the swap is based. Interest rate swaps are subject to the risk that Lord Abbett does not correctly anticipate changes in interest rates.
Each Fund may invest in senior loans, which are subject to increased credit and liquidity risks. Senior loans are business loans made to borrowers that may be U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships, or other business entities. The senior loans in which a Fund invests may consist primarily of senior loans that are rated below investment grade or, if unrated, deemed by Lord Abbett to be equivalent to below investment grade securities. Below investment grade senior loans, as in the case of high-yield debt securities, or junk bonds, are usually more credit sensitive than interest rate sensitive, although the value of these instruments may be impacted by broader interest rate swings in the overall fixed income market. In addition, senior loans may be subject to structural subordination.
Illiquid securities may lower a Fund’s returns since it may be unable to sell these securities at its desired time or price. To the extent illiquid securities can be sold, a Fund may have to do so at disadvantageous prices in order to meet requests for the redemption of Fund shares.
Leverage, including borrowing, may increase volatility in a Fund by magnifying the effect of changes in the value of each Fund’s holdings. The use of leverage may cause investors in a Fund to lose more money in adverse environments than would be the case in the absence of leverage.
Each Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with investing in debt securities and to the changing prospects of individual companies and/or sectors in which a Fund invests, including interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the prices of debt securities and an investment in a Fund are likely to decline. In times of economic uncertainty, high-yield debt securities (“lower-rated bonds” or “junk bonds”) may decline in price, even when interest rates are falling. There is also the risk that an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest to a Fund, a risk that is greater with junk bonds. A default, or concerns in the market about an increase in risk of default, may result in losses to a Fund. High-yield securities are subject to greater price fluctuations, as well as additional risks. The market for below investment grade securities may be less liquid, which may make such securities more difficult to sell at an acceptable price, especially during periods of financial distress, increased market volatility, or significant market decline.
Each Fund is subject to the risk of investing in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae’’), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). Unlike Ginnie Mae securities, securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government-related organizations such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law. Consequently, each Fund may be required to look principally to the agency issuing or guaranteeing the obligation.
The mortgage-related and asset-backed securities in which a Fund may invest may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates, economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. These changes can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.
94
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
When interest rates are declining, the value of these securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed income securities. Early principal repayment may deprive a Fund of income payments above current market rates. Alternatively, rising interest rates may cause payments to occur at a slower-than-expected rate, extending the duration of a security and typically reducing its value. The payment rate will thus affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security.
The cost of a Fund’s potential use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts varies with factors such as the currencies involved, the length of the contract period, and the market conditions prevailing. Foreign currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Each Fund’s use of currency-related transactions involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict currency movements, and each Fund’s returns could be reduced as a result. A decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of securities held by the Funds that are denominated in those currencies.
The securities markets of developing or emerging countries tend to be more vulnerable to economic, political and social instability, less liquid, are especially subject to greater price volatility, have a smaller market capitalization, have less government regulation and may not be subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial, and other reporting requirements as securities issued in more developed countries.
Bonds issued or guaranteed by foreign governments and governmental entities (commonly referred to as “sovereign debt”) are subject to the risk that such governments or entities are unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal owed. Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund may have limited recourse in such instances.
The Funds believe that their investment strategies with respect to foreign currencies will generate qualifying income under current U.S. federal income tax law. However, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Treasury Department will not issue regulations in the future (possibly with retroactive effect) that would treat some or all of each Fund’s foreign currency gains as nonqualifying income.
Geopolitical and other events (e.g., wars, terrorism, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak which began in late 2019) may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets, thereby decreasing the value of each Fund’s investments. Market disruptions can also prevent the Funds from implementing its investment strategies and achieving its investment objective.
The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in, among other things, border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity, lower consumer demand for goods and services, event cancellations and restrictions, service cancellations, reductions and other changes, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, and prolonged quarantines, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak could negatively affect the global economy, the economies of individual countries, and the financial performance of individual issuers, sectors, industries, asset classes, and markets in significant and unforeseen ways.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects may last for an extended period of time, and in either case could result in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn or recession. The foregoing could disrupt the operations of each Fund and its service providers, adversely affect

the value and liquidity of each Fund’s investments, and negatively impact each Fund’s performance and your investment in each Fund.
These factors, and others, can affect each Fund’s performance.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program and Policy (“Program”). The Program is designed to assess, manage and periodically review the Fund’s liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is defined under Rule 22e-4 as the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund.
The Board has appointed Lord Abbett as the administrator for the Fund’s Program. At the June 2-3, 2021 meeting, Lord Abbett provided the Board with a report addressing the operation of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period March 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. Lord Abbett reported that the Program operated effectively during the period. In particular, Lord Abbett reported that: the Fund did not breach its 15% limit on illiquid investments at any point during the period and all regulatory reporting related to Rule 22e-4 was completed on time and without issue during the period.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
Householding
The Company has adopted a policy that allows it to send only one copy of each Fund’s prospectus, proxy material, annual report and semiannual report (or related notice of internet availability of annual report and semiannual report) to certain shareholders residing at the same “household.” This reduces Fund expenses, which benefits you and other shareholders. If you need additional copies or do not want your mailings to be “householded,” please call Lord Abbett at 888-522-2388 or send a written request with your name, the name of your fund or funds and your account number or numbers to Lord Abbett Family of Funds, P.O. Box 219336, Kansas City, MO 64121.
Proxy Voting Policies, Procedures and Records
A description of the policies and procedures that Lord Abbett uses to vote proxies related to each Fund’s portfolio securities, and information on how Lord Abbett voted each Fund’s proxies during the 12-month period ended June 30 are available without charge, upon request, (i) by calling 888-522-2388; (ii) on Lord Abbett’s Website at www.lordabbett.com; and (iii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Website at www.sec.gov.
Shareholder Reports and Quarterly Portfolio Disclosure
The Funds are required to file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters as an attachment to Form N-PORT. Copies of the filings are available without charge, upon request on the SEC’s Website at www.sec.gov and may be available by calling Lord Abbett at 888-522-2388.
