Lord Abbett Mid Cap Stock Fund (LAVLX) Diversifiers

The investment seeks capital appreciation through investments, primarily in equity securities, which are believed to be undervalued in the marketplace. The fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of mid-sized companies. It may invest up to 10% of its net assets in foreign companies, including emerging market companies, American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), and other similar depositary receipts. The adviser defines foreign companies as those whose securities are traded primarily on non-U.S. securities exchanges.
