Fund Summary 
The investment seeks current income and capital growth. The fund is a "fund of funds" that invests principally in affiliated mutual funds managed by Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (the "underlying funds"). Under normal market conditions, through the underlying funds, the fund indirectly invests principally in U.S. equity securities and fixed income securities and selects foreign (including emerging market) securities. It uses a "blend" strategy to gain investment exposure to both growth and value stocks, or to stocks with characteristics of both.
