Global Income Fund Proxy Vote
Questions and Answers

Q. What are the proposed changes to the Global Income Fund?

Four key changes are proposed:

1.Investment objective:  Right now, the Fund seeks high current income (dividends) consistent with reasonable risk, with capital appreciation (an increase in the price of the security itself) as a secondary consideration. The Fund proposes to seek high total return (from both income and capital appreciation).

2.Investment strategy:  The Fund currently focuses on both domestic and foreign bonds with high credit ratings. The Fund proposes to change its focus to developing markets by investing directly in the currencies of those markets and by investing in fixed-income instruments denominated in those currencies. Many of these investments may have below investment-grade credit ratings and are sometimes called junk bonds. They may have the potential for higher income for shareholders, but also carry greater risk.

3.New name:  The Lord Abbett Global Income Fund would be renamed the Lord Abbett Developing Local Markets Fund.

4.New benchmark:  The current benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Bond Index, would be replaced by the JPMorgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+). This index tracks total returns for local currency-denominated money market instruments in 25 emerging markets.

The changes to the Fund’s investment strategy, name, and benchmark are contingent upon shareholder approval of the change to the investment objective.

Q. Why are these changes being proposed?

Since the Fund was launched in 1988, the world has changed dramatically. Developing markets are now assuming increasingly prominent roles in the global economy. Many of them are growing significantly faster than markets in developed countries or regions such as the United States, Western Europe, and Japan. The Fund, as currently structured, is not suited to take advantage of these new market realities. By repositioning it, we believe the Fund can better seek increases in capital appreciation and potentially higher investment yields.

Q. What about dividends and yields?

As of December 31, 2006, the Fund had an average current yield of 4.5% and an average credit quality rating of AA+. If its investment objective and strategy changes, the Fund could invest more of its assets in securities with lower-quality credit ratings. Although there are no guarantees, this may increase income (dividends) and investment yields, but does present greater risk.

Q. What about fees?

Lord Abbett does not expect fees to change as a result of these alterations.
