LAIEX : Lord Abbett International Opportunities Fund Class A

Fund Summary

The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests in stocks of companies principally based outside the United States. It normally intends to invest at least 65% of its net assets in equity securities of small companies. The fund uses a "blend" strategy to gain investment exposure to both growth and value stocks, or to stocks with characteristics of both. The fund's portfolio management team invests in value and growth companies that it believes to be undervalued relative to their fundamentals.
