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 (November 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011).
Actual Expenses
For each class of each Fund, the first line of the table on the following page 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 the Period 11/1/10 – 4/30/11” 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 page 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.

Alpha Strategy 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.

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.

1. ORGANIZATION
Lord Abbett Securities Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 26, 1993.
The Trust currently consists of ten funds. This report covers the following seven funds (separately, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and their respective classes:
| | | | |
Funds | | Classes | |
Lord Abbett Alpha Strategy Fund (“Alpha Strategy Fund”) | | | A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 | |
Lord Abbett Fundamental Equity Fund (“Fundamental Equity Fund” ) | | | A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 | |
Lord Abbett International Core Equity Fund (“International Core Equity Fund”) | | | A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 | |
Lord Abbett International Dividend Income Fund (“International Dividend Income Fund”) | | | A, B, C, F, I, R2 and R3 | |
Lord Abbett International Opportunities Fund (“International Opportunities Fund”) | | | A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 | |
Lord Abbett Large-Cap Value Fund (“Large Cap Value Fund”) | | | A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 | |
Lord Abbett Value Opportunities Fund (“Value Opportunities Fund”) | | | A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 | |
As of the date of this report, Alpha Strategy Fund has not issued Class P shares and International Dividend Income Fund has not issued Class B shares. The Funds’ Class P shares are closed to substantially all investors, with certain exceptions as set forth in the Funds’ prospectus. The Funds no longer issue Class B shares for purchase.
Each of Alpha Strategy Fund’s, International Core Equity Fund’s, International Opportunities Fund’s, and Value Opportunities Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Alpha Strategy Fund invests in other funds (“Underlying Funds”) managed by Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”). Fundamental Equity Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital and income without excessive fluctuations in market value. Each of International Dividend Income Fund’s and Large Cap Value Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of 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 B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 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 B shares redeemed before the sixth anniversary of purchase; and Class C shares redeemed before the first anniversary of purchase. Class B shares will 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 day on which the purchase order was accepted.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) | | Investment Valuation–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 more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE”). Each Fund may rely on 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 at the mean between the bid and asked prices on the basis of prices supplied by independent pricing services, which reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations and the independent pricing services’ own electronic data processing techniques. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using daily forward exchange rates. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by management and approved in good faith by the Board of Trustees. 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. Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates current 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 income in the Statements of Operations. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Investment income is allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. |
(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 the Funds’ U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 through October 31, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
(e) | | Expenses–Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual fund are generally allocated to the Funds within the Trust 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. Class A, B, C, F, P, R2 and R3 shares bear their class-specific share of all expenses and fees relating to the Funds’ 12b-1 Distribution Plan. |
107
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
(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 each 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) is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on each Fund’s Statement of Operations. The resultant exchange gains and losses upon settlement of such transactions are included in Net realized gain on investments (net of foreign capital gain tax) and foreign currency related transactions on each Fund’s Statement of Operations. Each Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the 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–International Core Equity Fund, International Dividend Income Fund and International Opportunities 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 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) is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on 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 in Net realized gain on investments (net of foreign capital gain tax) and foreign currency related transactions on each Fund’s Statement of Operations. As of April 30, 2011, each Fund had open forward foreign currency exchange contracts. |
(h) | | 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. |
(i) | | When-Issued or Forward Transactions–Each Fund and certain underlying funds of Alpha Strategy Fund may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or forward basis. When-issued or forward 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. |
108
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
| 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) | | 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 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 of inputs 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). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in valuing each Fund’s investments carried at fair value:

As of October 31, 2010, International Core Equity Fund, International Dividend Income Fund and International Opportunities Fund utilized adjusted valuations of foreign securities (as described in Note 2(a)) to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, which resulted in Level 1 inputs for substantially all foreign securities. As of April 30, 2011, each Fund utilized the last sale or official closing price on the exchange or system on which the foreign securities are principally traded. Accordingly, the valuations of foreign securities as of April 30, 2011 were categorized as Level 2 inputs. During the period ended April 30, 2011, all foreign securities held by each Fund that were classified as Level 1 as of October 31, 2010 that remain in the portfolio as of April 30, 2011 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2. As of October 31, 2010, the value of foreign securities included in Level 1 for each Fund were approximately $955,285,000, $434,978,000 and $356,667,000, respectively.

110
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
| April 30, 2011 (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/depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. |
As of April 30, 2011, International Core Equity Fund, International Dividend Income Fund and International Opportunities Fund had the following forward foreign currency exchange contracts:

4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for International Dividend Income Fund and annually for Alpha Strategy Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, International Core Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, and Value Opportunities Fund. 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
114
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, which 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 April 30, 2011 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 was as follows:

Outside Trustees’ 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 outside Trustees under which outside Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of Trustees’ 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 Trustees’ fees on the Statements of Operations and in Trustees’ 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.
7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS
The Trust has entered into an arrangement with each Fund’s 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.
8. LINE OF CREDIT
The Funds and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett have available an unsecured revolving credit facility (“Facility”) from State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”), to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. The Facility is renewed annually under terms that depend on market conditions at the time of the renewal. The amount available under the Facility is $200,000,000. The annual fee to maintain the Facility (of which each participating fund pays its pro rata share based on the net assets of each participating fund) is .15% of the amount available under the Facility. This amount is included in Other expenses on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. In connection with the annual renewal period that commenced December 4, 2009, the Funds paid an upfront commitment fee of .05%, which was amortized through Other expenses on the Statements of Operations over the annual period of the Facility.
On November 22, 2010, the Funds and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett entered into a short term extension of the Facility through February 2, 2011. On February 3, 2011, the Facility was renewed for an annual period by the Funds and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett. The amount available under the Facility remained the same. The annual fee to maintain the Facility was reduced from .15% to .125% and the upfront commitment fee of .05% was removed. Any borrowings under this Facility will bear interest at current market rates as set forth in the credit agreement. As of April 30, 2011, there were no loans outstanding pursuant to this Facility nor was the Facility utilized at any time during the six months ended April 30, 2011.

11. INVESTMENT RISKS
Each Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with equity investing. The value of an investment will fluctuate in response to movements in the equity securities markets in general and to the changing prospects of individual companies in which the Funds invest.
Large company value stocks, in which each of the Fundamental Equity Fund and Large Cap Value Fund invest, may perform differently than the market as a whole and other types of stocks, such as small company stocks and growth stocks. Small and mid-sized company stocks, in which Value Opportunities Fund invests, may also perform differently than the market as a whole and other types of stocks, such as large-company and growth stocks. This is because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions. The market may fail to recognize the intrinsic value of a particular value stock for a long time. The small and mid-sized company stocks in which Value Opportunities Fund invests may be less able to weather economic shifts or other adverse developments than those of larger, more established companies.
118
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
In addition, if a Fund’s assessment of a company’s value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds, even in a rising market.
In addition, although Fundamental Equity Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in large-cap company stocks, it also invests in mid-cap and small-cap company stocks which may be more volatile and less liquid than large-cap stocks.
International Core Equity Fund is subject to the risks of investing in foreign securities, the securities of large foreign companies, and derivatives. Foreign securities may pose greater risks than domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations and higher transaction costs. Foreign investments also may be affected by changes in currency rates or currency controls.
International Dividend Income Fund is also subject to the risks of investing in foreign securities, dividend yielding stocks, and derivatives. Foreign securities may pose greater risks than domestic securities, including price fluctuations and higher transaction costs. These risks are generally greater for securities issued by companies in emerging market companies. Dividend paying stocks may be sensitive to changes in market interest rates, and the prices of such stocks may decline as rates rise. The International Dividend Income Fund may be subject to the volatility of stocks that have high dividends per share due to recent decreases in their share prices. The International Dividend Income Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in small and mid-sized companies that may be less able to weather economic shifts or other adverse developments than larger, more established companies.
International Opportunities Fund is also subject to the risks of investing in foreign securities, the securities of small-cap companies, and derivatives. Foreign securities may pose greater risks than domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations and higher transaction costs. Foreign investments also may be affected by changes in currency rates or currency controls. Investing in small-cap companies generally involves greater risks than investing in the stocks of large-cap companies, including more volatility and less liquidity.
Alpha Strategy Fund’s investments are concentrated in the Underlying Funds and, as a result, the Fund’s performance is directly related to their performance and subject to their risks, including those associated with foreign investments and small-cap companies.
Due to their investments in multinational and foreign companies, Fundamental Equity Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Value Opportunities Fund, and Alpha Strategy Fund may experience increased market, liquidity, currency, political, information and other risks.
Each Fund is subject to the risks associated with derivatives, which may be different from and greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other investments.
These factors can affect each Fund’s performance.

Approval of Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on December 15 and 16, 2010, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust, including all of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), considered whether to approve the continuation of the existing management agreements between each of the Funds and Lord Abbett. In addition to the materials the Board had reviewed throughout the course of the year, the Board received materials relating to the management agreement before the meeting and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. The Board also took into account its familiarity with Lord Abbett gained through its previous meetings and discussions, and the examination of the portfolio management teams conducted by members of the Contract Committee during the year.
The materials received by the Board as to each Fund included, but were not limited to, (1) information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) regarding the investment performance of the Fund compared to the investment performance of one or more groups of funds with substantially similar investment objectives, including a group of funds within the same investment classification/objective (each group a “performance universe”) and to the investment performance of an appropriate securities index; (2) information on the expense ratios, effective management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund and one or more groups of funds with similar objectives and of similar size (the “peer group”); (3) information provided by Lord Abbett on the projected expense ratios, management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund; (4) sales and redemption information for the Fund; (5) information regarding Lord Abbett’s financial condition; (6) an analysis of the relative profitability of the management agreement to Lord Abbett; (7) information provided by Lord Abbett regarding the investment management fees Lord Abbett receives from its other advisory clients maintaining accounts with a similar investment strategy as the Fund (if Lord Abbett managed other accounts with such a strategy); (8) information regarding the distribution arrangements of the Fund; and (9) information regarding the personnel and other resources devoted by Lord Abbett to managing the Fund.
Investment Management Services Generally. The Board considered the investment management services provided by Lord Abbett to each Fund, including investment research, portfolio management, and trading, and Lord Abbett’s commitment to compliance with all relevant legal requirements. The Board also observed that Lord Abbett was solely engaged in the investment management business and accordingly did not experience the conflicts of interest resulting from being engaged in other lines of business. The Board noted that in recent years Lord Abbett had not used brokerage commissions to purchase third-party research, but had changed this practice in 2009, as it previously had discussed with the Board. The Board considered the investment advisory services provided by Lord Abbett to other clients, the fees charged for the services, and the differences in the nature of the services provided to each of the Funds and other Lord Abbett Funds, on the one hand, and the services provided to other clients, on the other.
Investment Performance. The Board reviewed each Fund’s investment performance in relation to that of one or more performance universes.
As to Alpha Strategy Fund, the Board observed that the investment approach of the Fund was not common. It considered the performance of the Fund in comparison to a performance universe consisting of small-cap core funds. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of the performance universe for the nine-month, one-year, and three-year periods, the first quintile for the five-year period, and the fourth
132
quintile for the ten-year period. The Board also observed that the performance was lower than that of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Index for the nine-month, one-year, and ten-year periods and higher than that of the Index for the three-year and five-year periods.
As to Fundamental Equity Fund, the Board considered the investment performance of the Fund in relation to two different performance universes, the first consisting of multi-cap core funds and the second consisting of multi-cap value funds. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of the first performance universe for the nine-month and one-year periods and the first quintile for the three-year, five-year, and ten-year periods. The Board observed that the investment performance was higher than that of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Index for the nine-month, three-year, five-year, and ten-year periods and lower than that of the Index for the one-year period. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of the second performance universe for the nine-month period, the second quintile for the one-year and ten-year periods, and the first quintile for the three-year and five-year periods. The Board also observed that the investment performance was higher than that of the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Index for each of those periods.
As to International Core Equity Fund, the Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the nine-month and one-year periods and the third quintile for the three-year and five-year periods and lower than that of the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Index for each of those periods.
As to International Dividend Income Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had commenced investment operations on June 30, 2008 and thus it was not possible to draw definitive conclusions regarding its investment performance or level of expenses. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the nine-month period, the third quintile for the one-year period, and the second quintile for the period since inception. The Board observed that the investment performance was lower than that of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Value Index for the nine-month and one-year periods and higher than that of the Index for the period since inception.
As to International Opportunities Fund, the Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the nine-month and one-year periods, the fourth quintile for the three-year and five-year periods, and the fifth quintile for the ten-year period. The Board also observed that the investment performance was higher than that of the Lipper International Small/Mid-Cap Growth Index for the nine-month and one-year periods and lower than that of the Index for the three-year, five-year, and ten-year periods.
As to Large Cap Value Fund, the Board considered the investment performance of the Fund in relation to two different performance universes, the first consisting of large-cap core funds and the second consisting of large-cap value funds. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of the first performance universe for the nine-month period, the fifth quintile for the one-year and three-year periods, and the fourth quintile for the five-year period. The Board also observed that the performance was lower than that of the Lipper Large-Cap Core Index for each of those periods. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of the second performance universe for the nine-month, three-year, and five-year periods and the fifth quintile for the one-year period. The Board also observed that the performance was lower than that of the Lipper Large-Cap Value Index for each of those periods.
133
As to Value Opportunities Fund, the Board considered the investment performance of the Fund in relation to two different performance universes, the first consisting of mid-cap core funds and the second consisting of mid-cap value funds. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of the first performance universe for the nine-month period, the third quintile for the one-year period, and the first quintile for the three-year period. The Board observed that the investment performance was higher than that of the Lipper Mid-Cap Core Index for the nine-month and three-year periods and lower than that of the Index for the one-year period. The Board observed that the investment performance was in the third quintile of the second performance universe for the nine-month and one-year periods and the first quintile for the three-year period. The Board observed that the investment performance was higher than that of the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Index for each of those periods.
Lord Abbett’s Personnel and Methods. The Board considered the qualifications of the personnel providing investment management services to each Fund, in light of its investment objective and discipline. Among other things, the Board considered the size, experience, and turnover of Lord Abbett’s investment management staff, Lord Abbett’s investment methodology and philosophy, and Lord Abbett’s approach to recruiting, training, and retaining investment management personnel. The Board observed that in 2009 one of Fundamental Equity Fund’s portfolio managers, Mr. Hansen, had left Lord Abbett, with Mr. Fetch continuing as portfolio manager for the Fund, assisted by Mr. Khanna. The Board also noted that Lord Abbett had changed the portfolio manager for Large-Cap Value Fund later in 2009, naming Mr. Frascarelli to be the portfolio manager. The Board determined that Lord Abbett had the expertise and resources to manage each Fund effectively.
Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board considered the nature, quality, costs, and extent of compliance, administrative, and other services performed by Lord Abbett and Lord Abbett Distributor LLC (the “Distributor”) and the nature and extent of Lord Abbett’s supervision of third party service providers, including each Fund’s transfer agent and custodian.
Expenses. The Board considered the expense levels of each Fund and the expense levels of one or more peer groups. The Board considered the fiscal periods on which the peer group comparison or comparisons were based, and noted that such periods ended before September 30, 2010. It also considered the projected expense levels of the Fund. It also considered the amount and nature of the fees paid by shareholders.
As to Alpha Strategy Fund, the Board considered the management fees and the total expenses of the Fund in comparison to two peer groups, the first consisting of passively managed global small-cap core and multi-cap core funds of funds and the second consisting of small-cap core funds that are not funds of funds. As to the first peer group, the Board observed that for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 the contractual management fees were approximately one basis point below the median of the peer group and the actual management fees were approximately the same as the median of the peer group. The Board observed that, like other funds in the first and second peer groups, the Fund indirectly pays the management fees and other expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. The Board also observed that, taking into account these indirect expenses, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, the total expense ratio of Class A was approximately twenty-one basis points above the median of the first peer group, the total expense ratios of Class B, Class C, and Class F were approximately the same as the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class I was approximately eleven basis points above the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class R2 was approximately thirty-six basis points above the median of the peer group, and the total expense ratio of Class R3 was approximately twenty-six
134
basis points above the median of the peer group. As to the second peer group, the Board observed that, taking into account indirect expenses, the total expense ratio of Class A was approximately fourteen basis points above the median of the first peer group, the total expense ratios of Class B and Class C were approximately nine basis points above the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class F was approximately twenty-six basis points above the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class I was approximately twenty-four basis points above the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class R2 was approximately twenty-three basis points above the median of the peer group, and the total expense ratio of Class R3 was approximately thirteen basis points above the median of the peer group. The Board noted that it and Lord Abbett had entered into a management fee waiver agreement under which Lord Abbett waived all ten basis points of its management fee and that Lord Abbett proposed to enter into a new management fee waiver agreement through February 29, 2012 under which it would waive five basis points of its management fee. The Board considered the projected expense ratio of each class and how those ratios would relate to those of the peer group.
As to Fundamental Equity Fund, the Board considered the management fees and the total expenses of the Fund in comparison to two peer groups, the first consisting of multi-cap core funds and the second consisting of multi-cap value funds. As to the first peer group, the Board observed that for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 the contractual management and administrative services fees were approximately ten basis points below the median of the peer group and the actual management and administrative services fees were approximately seven basis points below the median of the peer group.

Profitability. As to each Fund, the Board considered the level of Lord Abbett’s profits in managing the Fund, including a review of Lord Abbett’s methodology for allocating its costs to its management of the Fund. The Board concluded that the allocation methodology had a reasonable basis and was appropriate. It considered any profits realized by Lord Abbett in connection with the operation of the Fund and whether the amount of profit was fair for the management of the Fund. The Board also considered the profits realized from other businesses of Lord Abbett, which may benefit from or be related to the Fund’s business. The Board considered Lord Abbett’s profit margins in comparison with available industry data, both accounting for and ignoring marketing and distribution expenses, and how those profit margins could affect Lord Abbett’s ability to recruit and retain investment personnel. The Board recognized that Lord Abbett’s profitability was a factor in enabling it to attract and retain qualified investment management personnel to provide services to the Fund. The Board noted that Lord Abbett’s overall profitability had increased in its 2010 fiscal year. The Board concluded that Lord Abbett’s profitability overall and as to each Fund was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. As to each Fund, the Board considered whether there had been any economies of scale in managing the Fund, whether the Fund had appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there was potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board concluded that each existing advisory fee schedule, with its breakpoints in the level of the advisory fee, adequately addressed any economies of scale in managing the applicable Fund.
Other Benefits to Lord Abbett. As to each Fund, the Board considered the character and amount of fees paid by the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders to Lord Abbett and the Distributor for services other than investment advisory services. The Board also considered the revenues and
138
profitability of Lord Abbett’s investment advisory business apart from its mutual fund business, and the intangible benefits enjoyed by Lord Abbett by virtue of its relationship with the Fund. The Board observed that the Distributor receives 12b-1 fees from certain of the Lord Abbett Funds as to shares held in accounts for which there is no other broker of record, may retain a portion of the 12b-1 fees from the Funds, and receives a portion of the sales charges on sales and redemptions of some classes of shares. In addition, the Board observed that Lord Abbett accrues certain benefits for its business of providing investment advice to clients other than the Lord Abbett Funds, but that that business also benefits the Funds. The Board also noted that Lord Abbett, as disclosed in the prospectuses of the Funds, has entered into revenue sharing arrangements with certain entities that distribute shares of the Funds. The Board also took into consideration the investment research that Lord Abbett receives as a result of Fund brokerage transactions.
Alternative Arrangements. As to each Fund, the Board considered whether, instead of approving the continuation of the management agreement, it might be in the best interests of the Fund to implement one or more alternative arrangements, such as continuing to employ Lord Abbett, but on different terms. After considering all of the relevant factors, the Board unanimously found that continuation of the existing management agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders and voted unanimously to approve the continuation. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the management agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor as paramount or controlling. This summary does not discuss in detail all matters considered.

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 the Funds 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 (November 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011).
Actual Expenses
For each class of each Fund, the first line of the tables 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 the Period 11/1/10 – 4/30/11” 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 tables 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 each 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.

Micro Cap Growth 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.

1. ORGANIZATION
Lord Abbett Securities Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 26, 1993. The Trust currently consists of ten funds. This report covers the following two funds (separately, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and their respective classes: Lord Abbett Micro-Cap Growth Fund (“Micro Cap Growth Fund”), Class A and I shares and Lord Abbett Micro-Cap Value Fund (“Micro Cap Value Fund”), Class A and I shares. The investment objective of both Micro Cap Growth Fund and Micro Cap Value Fund is long-term capital appreciation.
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. A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may apply to certain redemptions of 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 I shares are not subject to any sales charges.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) | | Investment Valuation–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 more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange LLC. Each Fund may rely on 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. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by management and approved in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates current 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 income in 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. |
19
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 the Funds’ U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 through October 31, 2010. The statutes of limitations on the Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. |
(e) | | Expenses–Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual fund are generally allocated to the Funds within the Trust on a pro rata basis by relative net assets. Expenses incurred by the Funds, 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. Class A shares bear class-specific expenses and fees relating to the Funds’ 12b-1 Distribution Plan. |
(f) | | 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 value of these securities has declined, a Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities. |
(g) | | 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 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 of inputs 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). |

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in valuing each Fund’s investments carried at fair value:

3. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management Fee
The Trust has a management agreement with Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“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 an annual rate of 1.50%, which was the Funds’ annualized effective management fee rate for the six months ended April 30, 2011.
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.
For the period November 1, 2010 through February 29, 2012, Lord Abbett has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee for each Fund and, if necessary, reimburse each Fund’s other expenses to the extent necessary so that each class’ total net annual operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, do not exceed an annualized rate of 1.85%. This agreement may be terminated, with respect to each Fund, only upon the approval of the Funds’ Board of Trustees.
The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”), have entered into a Servicing Arrangement with Lord Abbett Alpha Strategy Fund (the “Alpha Strategy Fund”) of the Trust, pursuant to which each Underlying Fund pays a portion of the expenses (excluding management fees and distribution and service fees) of Alpha Strategy Fund in proportion to the average daily value of the Underlying Fund shares owned by Alpha Strategy Fund. Amounts paid pursuant to the Servicing Arrangement are included in Subsidy expense on each Fund’s Statement of Operations and Payable to affiliate on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of April 30, 2011, the percentages of the Micro Cap Growth Fund’s and Micro Cap Value Fund’s outstanding shares owned by Alpha Strategy Fund were 81.41% and 68.51%, respectively.
21
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)
12b-1 Distribution Plan
Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan with respect to Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 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 fees are accrued daily at annual rates based upon each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A at an annual rate of .25%.
Class I shares do not have a distribution plan.
Two Trustees and certain of the Trust’s officers have an interest in Lord Abbett.
4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, which exceed earnings and profits for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.
As of October 31, 2010, the capital loss carryforwards, along with the related expiration dates, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2017 | | | Total | |
Micro Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 5,036,909 | | | $ | 3,962,488 | | | $ | 8,999,397 | |
Micro Cap Value Fund | | | – | | | | 15,468,761 | | | | 15,468,761 | |
As of April 30, 2011, the aggregate unrealized security gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Micro Cap Growth Fund | | | Micro Cap Value Fund | |
Tax cost | | $ | 102,750,093 | | | $ | 121,974,664 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 34,606,391 | | | | 34,385,725 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (1,152,131 | ) | | | (2,653,859 | ) |
Net unrealized security gain | | $ | 33,454,260 | | | $ | 31,731,866 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable to the tax treatment of wash sales.
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”) was signed by the President. The Modernization Act includes numerous provisions that generally become effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Management is currently assessing the impact of the Modernization Act as it relates to the Funds.

5. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) for the six months ended April 30, 2011 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Micro Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 81,962,112 | | | $ | 73,986,321 | |
Micro Cap Value Fund | | | 52,511,824 | | | | 37,931,267 | |
6. TRUSTEES’ REMUNERATION
The Trust’s officers and the two Trustees who are associated with Lord Abbett do not receive any compensation from the Trust for serving in such capacities. Outside Trustees’ 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 outside Trustees under which outside Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of Trustees’ 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 Trustees’ fees on the Statements of Operations and in Trustees’ 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.
7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS
The Trust 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.
8. LINE OF CREDIT
Each Fund and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett have available an unsecured revolving credit facility (“Facility”) from State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”), to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. The Facility is renewed annually under terms that depend on market conditions at the time of the renewal. The amount available under the Facility is $200,000,000. The annual fee to maintain the Facility (of which each participating fund pays its pro rata share based on the net assets of each participating fund) is .15% of the amount available under the Facility. This amount is included in Other expenses on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. In connection with the annual renewal period that commenced December 4, 2009, the Funds paid an upfront commitment fee of .05%, which was amortized through Other expenses on the Statements of Operations over the annual period of the Facility.
On November 22, 2010, each Fund and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett entered into a short term extension of the Facility through February 2, 2011. On February 3, 2011, the Facility was renewed for an annual period by each Fund and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett. The amount available under the Facility remained the same. The annual fee to maintain the Facility was reduced from .15% to .125% and the upfront commitment fee of .05% was removed. Any borrowings under this Facility will bear interest at current market rates as set forth in the credit agreement. As of April 30, 2011, there were no loans outstanding pursuant to this Facility nor was the Facility utilized at any time during the six months ended April 30, 2011.

9. CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT
SSB is the Trust’s custodian and accounting agent. SSB performs custodial, accounting and recordkeeping functions relating to portfolio transactions and calculating each Fund’s NAV.
10. INVESTMENT RISKS
Each Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with equity investing, as well as the particular risks associated with micro-cap and growth or value stocks. The value of an investment in each Fund will fluctuate in response to movements in the equity securities market in general and to the changing prospects of individual companies in which the Funds invest. Micro-cap companies may be subject to greater risks and may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions than larger, more established companies. There may be less liquidity in micro-cap company stocks, subjecting them to greater price fluctuations than larger company stocks. In the case of Micro Cap Growth Fund, the growth stocks in which it generally invests may add to the Fund’s volatility. In the case of the Micro Cap Value Fund, the intrinsic value of particular value stocks may not be recognized for a long time.
These factors can affect each Fund’s performance.

Approval of Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on December 15 and 16, 2010, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust, including all of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), considered whether to approve the continuation of the existing management agreements between each of the Funds and Lord Abbett. In addition to the materials the Board had reviewed throughout the course of the year, the Board received materials relating to the management agreement before the meeting and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. The Board also took into account its familiarity with Lord Abbett gained through its previous meetings and discussions, and the examination of the portfolio management teams conducted by members of the Contract Committee during the year.
The materials received by the Board as to each Fund included, but were not limited to, (1) information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) regarding the investment performance of the Fund compared to the investment performance of one or more groups of funds with substantially similar investment objectives, including a group of funds within the same investment classification/objective (each group a “performance universe”) and to the investment performance of an appropriate securities index; (2) information on the expense ratios, effective management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund and one or more groups of funds with similar objectives and of similar size (the “peer group”); (3) information provided by Lord Abbett on the projected expense ratios, management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund; (4) sales and redemption information for the Fund; (5) information regarding Lord Abbett’s financial condition; (6) an analysis of the relative profitability of the management agreement to Lord Abbett; (7) information provided by Lord Abbett regarding the investment management fees Lord Abbett receives from its other advisory clients maintaining accounts with a similar investment strategy as the Fund; (8) information regarding the distribution arrangements of the Fund; and (9) information regarding the personnel and other resources devoted by Lord Abbett to managing the Fund.
Investment Management Services Generally. The Board considered the investment management services provided by Lord Abbett to each Fund, including investment research, portfolio management, and trading, and Lord Abbett’s commitment to compliance with all relevant legal requirements. The Board also observed that Lord Abbett was solely engaged in the investment management business and accordingly did not experience the conflicts of interest resulting from being engaged in other lines of business. The Board noted that in recent years Lord Abbett had not used brokerage commissions to purchase third-party research, but had changed this practice in 2009, as it previously had discussed with the Board. The Board considered the investment advisory services provided by Lord Abbett to other clients, the fees charged for the services, and the differences in the nature of the services provided to each of the Funds and other Lord Abbett Funds, on the one hand, and the services provided to other clients, on the other.
Investment Performance. The Board reviewed each Fund’s investment performance in relation to that of one or more performance universes.
As to Micro Cap Growth Fund, the Board noted the difficulty of comparing the Fund to an appropriate performance universe and peer expense group, given the limited number of registered investment companies having a similar investment objective, and considered the investment performance of the Fund in comparison to a performance universe of small-cap core funds. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the
25
second quintile for the nine-month period, the first quintile for the one-year, three-year, and five-year periods, and the third quintile for the ten-year period. The Board also observed that the investment performance was higher than that of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Index for each of those periods.
As to Micro-Cap Value Fund, the Board noted the difficulty of comparing the Fund to an appropriate performance universe, given the limited number of registered investment companies having a similar investment objective, and considered the investment performance of the Fund in relation to a performance universe consisting of small-cap core funds. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of the performance universe for the nine-month and five-year periods, the fifth quintile for the one-year period, the third quintile for the three-year period, and the first quintile for the ten-year period. The Board also observed that the investment performance was lower than that of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Index for the nine-month, one-year, and three-year periods and higher than that of the Index for the five-year and ten-year periods.
Lord Abbett’s Personnel and Methods. The Board considered the qualifications of the personnel providing investment management services to each Fund, in light of its investment objective and discipline. Among other things, the Board considered the size, experience, and turnover of Lord Abbett’s investment management staff, Lord Abbett’s investment methodology and philosophy, and Lord Abbett’s approach to recruiting, training, and retaining investment management personnel. The Board determined that Lord Abbett had the expertise and resources to manage each Fund effectively.
Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board considered the nature, quality, costs, and extent of compliance, administrative, and other services performed by Lord Abbett and Lord Abbett Distributor LLC (the “Distributor”) and the nature and extent of Lord Abbett’s supervision of third party service providers, including each Fund’s transfer agent and custodian.
Expenses. The Board considered the expense levels of each Fund and the expense levels of one or more peer groups. The Board considered the fiscal periods on which the peer group comparison or comparisons were based, and noted that such periods ended before September 30, 2010. It also considered the projected expense levels of each Fund. It also considered the amount and nature of the fees paid by shareholders.
As to Micro Cap Growth Fund, the Board noted the difficulty in finding an appropriate universe of funds for purposes of expense comparisons, given the limited number of registered investment companies having a similar investment objective, and instead considered the relationship of the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of small-cap core, small-cap value, and small-cap growth funds, but recognized that the comparison was of limited utility, given the inherent differences between micro-cap equity funds and small-cap equity funds. The Board observed that for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 the contractual management and administrative services fees were approximately thirty-nine basis points above the median of the peer group and the actual management and administrative services fees were approximately forty-two basis points above the median of the peer group. The Board observed that for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 the total expense ratio of Class A was approximately forty-nine basis points above the median of the peer group and the total expense ratio of Class I was approximately forty-nine basis points above the median of the peer group. The Board also observed that it and Lord Abbett had agreed to an expense reimbursement agreement that had the effect of limiting the total expense ratio of Class A to 2.10% and the total expense ratio of Class I to 1.85%, that Lord Abbett proposed to renew the
26
agreement through February 29, 2012, and that those expense ratios were the same as those used in the peer group comparisons. The Board also observed the Fund was offered only to institutional investors, employees of Lord Abbett, and Alpha Strategy Fund.
As to Micro Cap Value Fund, the Board noted the difficulty in finding an appropriate universe of funds for purposes of expense comparisons, given the limited number of the registered investment companies having a similar investment objective, and instead considered the relationship of the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of small-cap core, small-cap value, and small-cap growth funds, but recognized that the comparison was of limited utility, given the inherent differences between micro-cap equity funds and small-cap equity funds. The Board observed that for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 the contractual management and administrative services fees were approximately thirty-nine basis points above the median of the peer group and the actual management and administrative services fees were approximately fifty-two basis points above the median of the peer group. The Board observed that for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 the total expense ratio ratios of Class A and Class I were approximately fifty basis points above the median of the peer group. The Board also observed that it and Lord Abbett had agreed to an expense reimbursement agreement that had the effect of limiting the total expense ratio of Class A to 2.10% and the total expense ratio of Class I to 1.85%, that Lord Abbett proposed to renew the agreement through February 29, 2012, and that those expense ratios were the same as those used in the peer group comparisons. The Board also observed that the Fund was offered only to institutional investors, employees of Lord Abbett, and Alpha Strategy Fund.
Profitability. As to each Fund, the Board considered the level of Lord Abbett’s profits in managing the Fund, including a review of Lord Abbett’s methodology for allocating its costs to its management of the Fund. The Board concluded that the allocation methodology had a reasonable basis and was appropriate. It considered any profits realized by Lord Abbett in connection with the operation of the Fund and whether the amount of profit was fair for the management of the Fund. The Board also considered the profits realized from other businesses of Lord Abbett, which may benefit from or be related to the Fund’s business. The Board considered Lord Abbett’s profit margins in comparison with available industry data, both accounting for and ignoring marketing and distribution expenses, and how those profit margins could affect Lord Abbett’s ability to recruit and retain investment personnel. The Board recognized that Lord Abbett’s profitability was a factor in enabling it to attract and retain qualified investment management personnel to provide services to the Fund. The Board noted that Lord Abbett’s overall profitability had increased in its 2010 fiscal year. The Board concluded that Lord Abbett’s profitability overall and as to each Fund was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. As to each Fund, the Board considered whether there had been any economies of scale in managing the Fund, whether the Fund had appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there was potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board concluded that each existing advisory fee schedule, adequately addressed any economies of scale in managing the applicable Fund.
Other Benefits to Lord Abbett. As to each Fund, the Board considered the character and amount of fees paid by the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders to Lord Abbett and the Distributor for services other than investment advisory services. The Board also considered the revenues and profitability of Lord Abbett’s investment advisory business apart from its mutual fund business, and the intangible benefits enjoyed by Lord Abbett by virtue of its relationship with the Fund. The Board observed that the Distributor receives 12b-1 fees from certain of the Lord Abbett Funds as to shares held in accounts for which there is no other broker of record, may retain a portion of the 12b-1
27
fees from the Funds, and receives a portion of the sales charges on sales and redemptions of some classes of shares. In addition, the Board observed that Lord Abbett accrues certain benefits for its business of providing investment advice to clients other than the Lord Abbett Funds, but that that business also benefits the Funds. The Board also noted that Lord Abbett, as disclosed in the prospectuses of the Funds, has entered into revenue sharing arrangements with certain entities that distribute shares of the Funds. The Board also took into consideration the investment research that Lord Abbett receives as a result of Fund brokerage transactions.
Alternative Arrangements. As to each Fund, the Board considered whether, instead of approving the continuation of the management agreement, it might be in the best interests of the Fund to implement one or more alternative arrangements, such as continuing to employ Lord Abbett, but on different terms. After considering all of the relevant factors, the Board unanimously found that continuation of the existing management agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders and voted unanimously to approve the continuation. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the management agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor as paramount or controlling. This summary does not discuss in detail all matters considered.
