How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 6.77%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class A shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 6.12%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class C shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 6.88%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class F shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 7.09%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class F3 shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 6.99%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class I shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 6.49%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class P shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 6.35%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R2 shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 6.45%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R3 shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 6.72%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R4 shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 6.99%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R5 shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund returned 7.09%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class R6 shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to the Fund’s benchmark and broad-based securities market index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% over the same period. 

Positive factors for the markets included momentum around the soft-landing narrative, which was supported by signs of a cooling labor market and a slowing economy. This led to the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering its policy rate by 50 basis points in September, 25 basis points in November, and 25 basis points in December. Mixed economic data, including softer consumer price index reports and fluctuating job market indicators, contributed to rate cut expectations during the period, and also sparked recession fears. However, these factors were mostly balanced by strong consumer spending and retail sales.

Top contributors to performance: Allocation to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. Allocation to equity. Security selection within U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

Top detractors from performance:  Security selection within agency MBS. Allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

(c)   Total return for Classes A and C does not consider the effects of sales loads and assumes the reinvestment of all distributions. Total return for all other classes assumes the reinvestment of all distributions.
(d)   Realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share does not correlate to the aggregate of the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the timing of the sales and repurchases of the Fund’s shares in relation to fluctuating market values of the Fund’s portfolio.

1. ORGANIZATION  

 

Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund was organized in 1970 and incorporated under Maryland law on January 23, 1976.

 

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income and the opportunity for capital appreciation to produce a high total return. The Fund has eleven active classes of shares: Class A, C, F, F3, I, P, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6, each with 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 C, F, F3, I, P, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 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 the Fund’s prospectus); Class C shares redeemed before the first anniversary of purchase. Class C shares 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 month on which the purchase order was accepted, provided that the Fund or financial intermediary through which a shareholder purchased Class C shares has records verifying that the C shares have been held at least eight years. The Fund’s Class P shares are closed to substantially all new investors, with certain exceptions as set forth in the Fund’s prospectus. The Fund also invests in the Lord Abbett Private Credit Fund (“PCF”), which is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company which elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Act. As of December 31, 2024, PCF is available only to the Fund and certain other investment companies managed by Lord Abbett.

 

Basis of Preparation

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) 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.

 

Segment Reporting

The Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard resulted in new financial statement disclosures and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or its results of operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available.

 

The CODM for the Fund is Lord Abbett through its Management, Investment and Operating Committees, which are responsible for assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and that the Fund’s

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s Schedule of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statement of Operations, Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

 

(a) Investment ValuationUnder procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Board has designated the determination of fair value of the Fund’s portfolio investments to Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”) as its valuation designee. Accordingly, Lord Abbett is responsible for, among other things, assessing and managing valuation risks, establishing, applying and testing fair value methodologies, and evaluating pricing services. Lord Abbett has formed a Pricing Committee that performs these responsibilities on behalf of Lord Abbett, administers the pricing and valuation of portfolio investments and ensures that prices utilized reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow Lord Abbett, subject to Board oversight, to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
   
  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 reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Pricing Committee uses a third-party fair valuation service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that correlate to the fair-valued 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 ask prices. Investments in the PCF are valued at their NAV each month end. Exchange traded options and futures contracts are valued at the last quoted sale price in the market where they are principally traded. If no sale has occurred, the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask prices is used. Fixed income securities are valued based on evaluated prices supplied by independent pricing services, which reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations and the independent pricing services’ own electronic data processing techniques. Floating rate loans are valued at the average of bid and ask quotations obtained from dealers in loans on the basis of prices supplied by independent pricing services. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using daily forward exchange rates. Swaps, options and options on swaps (“swaptions”) are valued daily using independent pricing services or quotations from broker/dealers to the extent available.
   
  Securities for which prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including observable and unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may use observable inputs such as yield curves, broker quotes, observable trading activity, option adjusted spread models and other relevant information to determine the fair value of portfolio investments. The Board or a designated committee thereof periodically reviews reports that may include fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee, related market activity, inputs and assumptions,

 

55

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

  and retrospective comparison of prices of subsequent purchases and sales transactions to fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee.
   
  Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end money market mutual funds are valued at their NAV as of the close of each business day.
   
(b) Security TransactionsSecurity 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 IncomeDividend 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, if applicable, in the Statement 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 TaxesIt is the policy of the 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.
   
  The 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 Fund’s filed U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2024. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the Fund’s jurisdiction.
   
(e) ExpensesExpenses, 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. In addition, Class F3 and R6 shares bear only their class specific shareholder expenses. Class A, C, F, P, R2, R3 and R4 shares bear their class-specific share of all expenses and fees related to the Fund’s 12b-1 Distribution Plan.
   
(f) Foreign TransactionsThe books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the 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), if applicable, is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The resultant exchange gains and losses upon settlement of such transactions, if applicable, are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The 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 Fund uses 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.

 

56

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

(g) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange ContractsThe Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign portfolio holdings, or gain or reduce exposure to foreign currency solely 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), if applicable, is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the 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 forward foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing of such contracts is included, if applicable, in Net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
   
(h) Futures ContractsThe Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts to enhance returns, to attempt to economically hedge some of its investment risk, or as a substitute position in lieu of holding the underlying asset on which the instrument is based. At the time of entering into a futures transaction, an investor is required to deposit and maintain a specified amount of cash or eligible securities called “initial margin.” Subsequent payments made or received by the Fund called “variation margin” are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. The Fund will record an unrealized gain (loss) based on the amount of variation margin. When a contract is closed, a realized gain (loss) is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract.
   
(i) Credit Default Swap ContractsThe Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts in order to hedge credit risk or for speculation purposes. As a seller of a credit default swap contract (“seller of protection”), the Fund is required to pay the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, the Fund receives from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract.
   
  As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract (“buyer of protection”), the Fund would receive the notional amount or other agreed upon value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, the Fund makes periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contracts, provided no event of default has occurred.
   
  These credit default swap contracts may have as a reference obligation corporate or sovereign issuers or credit indexes. These credit indexes are comprised of a basket of securities representing a particular sector of the market.
   
  Credit default swap contracts are fair valued based upon quotations from counterparties, brokers or market-makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. For a credit default swap contract sold by the Fund, payment of the agreed-upon amount made by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap contract purchased by the Fund, the agreed-upon amount received by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by the Fund.

 

57

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

  Any upfront payments made or received upon entering a credit default swap contract would be amortized or accreted over the life of the swap contract and recorded as realized gains or losses. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the custodian bank or broker in accordance with the swap contract agreement. The value and credit rating of each credit default swap contract where the Fund is the seller of protection, are both measures of the current payment/performance risk of the swap contract. As the value of the swap contract changes as a positive or negative percentage of the total notional amount, the payment/performance risk may decrease or increase, respectively. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap contract agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap contract agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
   
  Entering into credit default swap contracts involves credit and market risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, and that Lord Abbett does not correctly predict the creditworthiness of the issuers of the reference obligation on which the credit default swap contract is based. For the centrally cleared credit default swap contracts, there was minimal counterparty risk to the Fund, since such credit default swap contracts entered into were traded through a central clearinghouse, which guarantees against default.
   
(j) Inflation-Linked DerivativesThe Fund may invest in inflation-linked derivatives, such as Consumer Price Index Swap Contract Agreements (“CPI swap contracts”). A CPI swap contract is a contract in which one party agrees to pay a fixed rate in exchange for a variable rate, which is the rate of change in the CPI during the life of the contract. Payments are based on a notional amount of principal. The Fund will normally enter into CPI swap contracts on a zero coupon basis, meaning that the floating rate will be based on the cumulative CPI during the life of the contract, and the fixed rate will compound until the swap contract’s maturity date, at which point the payments are netted. The swap contracts are valued daily and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in the Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination or maturity of the swap contract is recorded in realized gain (loss) and is included in Net realized gain (loss) on swap contracts in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared CPI swap contracts, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value as appropriate (“variation margin”) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the centrally cleared CPI swap contracts, there was minimal counterparty risk to the Fund, since such CPI swap contracts entered into were traded through a central clearinghouse, which guarantees against default.
   
(k) OptionsThe Fund may purchase and write exchange-listed and over-the-counter put or call options on securities, stock indices, currencies and other financial instruments for hedging purposes, to enhance portfolio returns and reduce overall volatility.

 

58

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

  When the Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When an option expires, the Fund realizes a gain on the option to the extent of the premium received. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security purchased by the Fund. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds of the security sold to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying investment. Other risks include the possibility of an illiquid options market or the inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.
   
  Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss when the underlying transaction is executed. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Realized and net change in unrealized gains and losses on purchased options are included in Net realized and Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
   
(l) Repurchase AgreementsThe 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. The 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, the Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities.
   
(m) Mortgage Dollar RollsThe Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal (including prepayments of principal) and interest paid on the securities sold.
   
(n) When-Issued, Forward Transactions or To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) TransactionsThe Fund may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or forward basis. When-issued, forward transactions or TBA transactions involve a commitment by the 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. Government or U.S. Government sponsored enterprise securities) marked to market daily in

 

59

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

  an amount sufficient to make payment at settlement will be segregated at the Fund’s custodian in order to pay for the commitment. At the time the 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. The 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.
   
(o) Reverse Repurchase Agreements–The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to a securities dealer or bank for cash and also agrees to repurchase the same security later at a set price. Reverse repurchase agreements expose the Fund to credit risk (that is, the risk that the counterparty will fail to resell the security to the Fund). Engaging in reverse repurchase agreements also may involve the use of leverage, in that the Fund may reinvest the cash it receives in additional securities. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities to be repurchased by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price.
   
  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund did not enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
   
(p) Floating Rate LoansThe Fund may invest in floating rate loans, which usually take the form of loan participations and assignments. Loan participations and assignments are agreements to make money available to U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities (the “Borrower”) in a specified amount, at a specified rate and within a specified time. A loan is typically originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign bank, insurance company or other financial institution (the “Agent”) for a group of loan investors (“Loan Investors”). The Agent typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the other Loan Investors in the syndicate and may hold any collateral on behalf of the Loan Investors. Such loan participations and assignments are typically senior, secured and collateralized in nature. The Fund records an investment when the Borrower withdraws money and records interest as earned. These loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).
   
  The loans in which the Fund invests may be subject to some restrictions on resale. For example, the Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent and/or Borrower prior to the sale of these investments. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). In the event that the Borrower, selling participant or Intermediate Participants become insolvent or enter into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.
   
  Unfunded commitments represent the remaining obligation of the Fund to the Borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the Borrower may demand the unfunded portion. Until demanded by the Borrower, unfunded commitments are not recognized as an asset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unrealized appreciation/depreciation on unfunded commitments is presented, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the mark to market of the unfunded portion of the Fund’s floating rate notes.

Total  $21,291,873   $21,137,833   $21,287,187   $(149,354)

 

(q) Total Return Swap ContractsThe Fund may enter into total return swap contract agreements to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in that market. The Fund may agree to make payments that are the equivalent of interest in exchange for the right to receive payments equivalent to any appreciation in the value of an underlying security, index or other asset, as well as receive payments equivalent to any distributions made on that asset, over the term of the swap contract. If the value of the asset underlying a total return swap contract declines over the term of the swap contract, the Fund also may be required to pay an amount equal to that decline in value to its counterparty.
   
(r) Fair Value MeasurementsFair value is defined as the price that the 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 classification is determined based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement, and 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 the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

  A summary of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments as of December 31, 2024 and, if applicable, Level 3 rollforwards for the fiscal year then ended is included in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

  Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the three-tier hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

3. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES  

 

Management Fee

 

The Fund has a management agreement with Lord Abbett, pursuant to which Lord Abbett provides the 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 the Fund’s investment portfolio. The management fee is accrued daily and payable monthly.

 

The management fee is based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rate:

 

First $500 million .50%
Next $9.5 billion .45%
Over $10 billion .40%

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the effective management fee, net of any applicable waiver, was at an annualized rate of .42% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

In addition, Lord Abbett provides certain administrative services to the Fund pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement in return for a fee at an annual rate of .04% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The fund administration fee is accrued daily and payable monthly. Lord Abbett voluntarily waived $328,433 of fund administration fees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

 

12b-1 Distribution Plan

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan with respect to Class A, C, F, P, R2, R3 and R4 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 distribution and service fees are accrued daily and payable monthly.

 

The following annual rates have been authorized by the Board pursuant to the plan:

 

Fees*   Class A   Class C(1)   Class F(2)   Class P   Class R2   Class R3   Class R4
Service   .15%   .25%     .25%   .25%   .25%   .25%
Distribution   .05%   .75%   .10%   .20%   .35%   .25%  

 

* The Fund may designate a portion of the aggregate fees as attributable to service activities for purposes of calculating Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. sales charge limitations.
(1) The 12b-1 fee the Fund pays on Class C shares is a blended rate calculated based on (i) 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to shares held for less than one year and (ii) .80% (.25% service and .55% distribution) of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to shares held one year or more. All Class C shareholders of the Fund will bear 12b-1 fees at the same rate.
(2) The Class F shares Rule 12b-1 fee may be designated as a service fee in limited circumstances as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

 

Class F3, Class I, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a distribution plan.

Commissions

The Distributor received the following commissions on sales of shares of the Fund, after concessions were paid to authorized dealers, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024:

 

Distributor
Commissions
  Dealers’
Concessions
$334,798   $3,980,662

 

The Distributor received CDSCs of $99,426 and $45,435 for Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024:

 

4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX INFORMATION  

 

Dividends are paid from net investment income, if any. Capital gain distributions are paid from taxable net realized gains from investments transactions, reduced by allowable capital loss carryforwards, if any. 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 U.S. GAAP. 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 was as follows:

5. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS  

 

Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were as follows:

 

U.S.
Government

   Non-U.S.

* Includes U.S. Government sponsored enterprises securities.

 

The Fund is permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other Lord Abbett funds or client accounts pursuant to procedures approved by the Board in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Act (the “Rule”). Each cross-trade is executed at a fair market price in compliance with provisions of the Rule. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund did not engage in cross-trade purchases or sales.

 

6. DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES  

 

The Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (as described in Note 2(g)). A forward foreign currency exchange contract reduces the 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. The Fund’s use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict currency movements, and the 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. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts and deposits with brokers as collateral.

 

The Fund entered into U.S. Treasury futures contracts during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (as described in Note 2(h)) to economically hedge against changes in interest rates. The Fund bears the risk of interest rates moving unexpectedly, in which case the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and realize a loss. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees futures against default.

 

The Fund entered into CPI swap contracts during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (as described in Note 2(j)) to speculate the rate of inflation in the U.S. economy. The Fund’s use of CPI swap involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict expectations of inflation or

 

64

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

interest rates, and the Fund’s returns could be reduced as a result. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is unrealized appreciation on CPI swap contracts. For the centrally cleared CPI swap contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since these CPI swap contracts are traded through a central clearinghouse. As a counterparty to all centrally cleared swap contracts, the clearinghouse guarantees CPI swap contracts against default.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Fund had the following derivatives at fair value, grouped into appropriate risk categories that illustrate the Fund’s use of derivative instruments:

7. DISCLOSURES ABOUT OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES  

 

The FASB requires disclosures intended to help better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund’s financial position. The following tables illustrate gross and net information about recognized assets and liabilities eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and disclose such amounts subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement, by the counterparty. A master netting agreement is an agreement between a fund and a counterparty which provides for the net settlement of amounts owed under all contracts traded under that agreement, as well as cash collateral, through a single payment by one party to the other in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. The Fund’s accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the master netting agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty:

(c) Net amount represents the amount owed by the Fund to the counterparty as of December 31, 2024.

 

8. DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION  

 

The Fund’s officers and one Director, who are associated with Lord Abbett, do not receive any compensation from the Fund for serving in such capacities. Independent Directors’ fees are allocated among all Lord Abbett-sponsored funds primarily based on the relative net assets of each fund. There is an equity-based plan available to all Independent Directors under which Independent Directors may elect to defer receipt of a portion of Directors’ fees. The deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in the Fund. Such amounts and earnings accrued thereon are included in Directors’ fees in the Statement of Operations and in Directors’ fees payable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid.

 

9. LINE OF CREDIT  

 

For the period ended July 31, 2024, the Fund and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Participating Funds”) were party to a syndicated line of credit facility with various lenders for $1.6 billion (the “Syndicated Facility”) under which State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) participated as a lender and as agent for the lenders. The Participating Funds were subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of fund net assets (if fund net assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, $700 million, or $1 billion, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

 

Effective August 1, 2024, the Participating Funds renewed the Syndicated Facility for $1.6 billion. The Participating Funds are subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of fund net assets (if fund net assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $700 million, or $1 billion, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

 

For the period ended July 31, 2024, the Participating Funds were also party to an additional uncommitted line of credit facility with SSB for $330 million (the “Bilateral Facility”). Under the Bilateral Facility, the Participating Funds were subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of fund net assets (if fund net assets are less than $750 million), or $250 million based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

 

Effective August 1, 2024, the Participating Funds renewed the Bilateral Facility in the same amount. The Participating Funds remain subject to the same borrowing limits as were in place prior to the renewal.

 

These credit facilities are to be used for short-term working capital purposes as additional sources of liquidity to satisfy redemptions.

 

67

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund did not utilize the Syndicated Facility or Bilateral Facility.

 

10. INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM  

 

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC exemptive order”) certain registered open-end management investment companies managed by Lord Abbett, including the Fund, participate in a joint lending and borrowing program (the “Interfund Lending Program”). The SEC exemptive order allows the funds that participate in the Interfund Lending Program to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes subject to the limitations and conditions.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund did not participate as a borrower or lender in the Interfund Lending Program.

 

11. CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT  

 

SSB is the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent. SSB performs custodial, accounting and recordkeeping functions relating to portfolio transactions and calculating the Fund’s NAV.

 

12. SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT  

 

The Fund has established a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. for the lending of securities to qualified brokers in exchange for securities or cash collateral equal to at least the market value of securities loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Cash collateral is invested in an approved money market fund. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending agreement, the market value of securities on loan is determined each day at the close of business and any additional collateral required to cover the value of securities on loan is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience a delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or the borrower becomes insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Any income earned from securities lending is included in Securities lending net income in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

 

The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value equal to at least 100% of the market value of the securities loaned. The collateral must be marked-to-market daily to cover increases in the market value of the securities loaned (or potentially a decline in the value of the collateral). In general, the risk of borrower default will be borne by Citibank, N.A.; the Fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. The advantage of such loans is that the Fund continues to receive income on loaned securities while receiving a portion of any securities lending fees and earning returns on the cash amounts which may be reinvested for the purchase of investments in securities.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the market value of securities loaned and collateral received were as follows:

 

Market Value of
Securities Loaned
Collateral
Received(1)
$279,823,281 $295,465,590

 

(1) Statement of Assets and Liabilities location: Collateral due to broker for securities lending.

13. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS  

 

The Fund intends to obtain exposure to less liquid or illiquid private credit investments, generally involving corporate borrowers, through its investments in pooled investment vehicles, including PCF managed by Lord Abbett (“Underlying Fund”). Typically, private credit investments are not traded in public markets and are illiquid, such that an underlying fund may not be able to dispose of its holdings for extended periods, which may be several years, or at the price at which the underlying fund is valuing its investments. An underlying fund will also be illiquid, and the Fund incurs two layers of fees, with Lord Abbett potentially receiving a management fee at both levels. An underlying fund may, from time to time or over time, focus its private credit investments in a particular industry or sector or select industries or sectors. Investment performance of such industries or sectors may thus at times have an out-sized impact on the performance of an underlying fund or a Fund indirectly. Additionally, private credit investments can range in credit quality depending on security-specific factors, including total leverage, amount of leverage senior to the security in question, variability in the issuer’s cash flows, the size of the issuer, the quality of assets securing debt and the degree to which such assets cover the subject company’s debt obligations. The issuers of the underlying fund’s private credit investments will often be leveraged, often as a result of leveraged buyouts or other recapitalization transactions, and often will not be rated by national credit rating agencies.

 

The Fund’s investment in the PCF is subject to restrictions on transfer and the PCF currently expects to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers each quarter, up to 5% of the PCF’s Common Shares outstanding, using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter. There will be no trading market for the Fund’s investments in the PCF. The Schedule of Investments lists the PCF as an investment as of year end, but does not include the underlying holdings of the PCF. The Fund indirectly bears the proportionate share of the expenses of the PCF. The Fund had the following transactions with the PCF during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024:

(1) The Fund acquired PCF shares from 2/23/2024 to 12/31/2024, at a cost of $131,202,192.

 

The Fund has an unfunded commitment to make investments in the PCF at a future date in the amount of $493,797,808 at year end. This unfunded commitment is not recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at year end. On February 24, 2025, all outstanding capital commitments were extinguished and the PCF has begun to take monthly subscriptions in connection with a continuous offering of its Common Shares.

 

14. INVESTMENT RISKS  

 

The Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with investing in debt securities and to the changing prospects of individual companies and/or sectors in which the Fund invests. The value of an investment will change as interest rates fluctuate and in response to market movements. When interest rates rise, the prices of debt securities are likely to decline; when rates fall, such prices tend to rise. Longer-term debt securities are usually more sensitive to interest rate changes. There is also the risk that an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest to the Fund, a risk that is greater with high-yield securities (sometimes called

 

69

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

“lower-rated bonds” or “junk bonds”), in which the Fund may substantially invest. Some issuers, particularly of high-yield securities, may default as to principal and/or interest payments after the Fund purchases its securities. A default, or concerns in the market about an increase in risk of default, may result in losses to the Fund. High-yield securities are subject to greater price fluctuations, as well as additional risks. The market for below investment grade securities may be less liquid, which may make such securities more difficult to sell at an acceptable price, especially during periods of financial distress, increased market volatility, or significant market decline.

 

The Fund is subject to the risk of investing in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”)). Unlike Ginnie Mae securities, securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government-related organizations such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law. Consequently, the Fund may be required to look principally to the agency issuing or guaranteeing the obligation.

 

The mortgage-related and asset-backed securities in which the Fund may invest may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates, and economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. These changes can affect the value, income, and/or liquidity of such positions. When interest rates are declining, the value of these securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed income securities. Early principal repayment may deprive the Fund of income payments above current market rates. Alternatively, rising interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a slower-than-expected rate, extending the duration of a security and typically reducing its value. The payment rate will thus affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security. In addition, the Fund may invest in non-agency asset backed and mortgage related securities, which are issued by private institutions, not by government-sponsored enterprises.

 

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities, the value of which fluctuates in response to movements in the equity securities markets in general, the changing prospects of individual companies in which the Fund invests, or an individual company’s financial condition.

 

The Fund may invest in convertible securities, which have both equity and fixed income risk characteristics, including market, credit, liquidity, and interest rate risks. Generally, convertible securities offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality and less potential for gains or capital appreciation in a rising equity securities market than equity securities. They tend to be more volatile than other fixed income securities and the market for convertible securities may be less liquid than the markets for stocks or bonds. A significant portion of convertible securities have below investment grade credit ratings and are subject to increased credit and liquidity risks.

 

Due to the Fund’s investment exposure to foreign companies and American Depositary Receipts, the Fund may experience increased market, industry and sector, liquidity, currency, political, information, and other risks. The securities of foreign companies also may be subject to inadequate exchange control regulations, the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions, higher transaction and other costs, and delays in settlement to the extent they are traded on non-U.S. exchanges or markets.

 

The Fund is subject to the risks associated with derivatives, which may be different from and greater than the risks associated with directly investing in securities. Derivatives may be subject to risks such as liquidity risk, leveraging risk, interest rate risk, market risk, and credit risk. Illiquid securities

may lower the Fund’s returns since the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at their desired time or price. Derivatives also may involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the value of the underlying asset, rate or index. Whether the Fund’s use of derivatives is successful will depend on, among other things, the Fund’s ability to correctly forecast market movements and other factors. Losses may also arise from the failure of a derivative counterparty to meet its contractual obligations. If the Fund incorrectly forecasts these and other factors, the Fund’s performance could suffer. The Fund’s use of derivatives could result in a loss exceeding the amount of the Fund’s investment in these instruments.

 

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in floating rate or adjustable rate senior loans, including bridge loans, novations, assignments, and participations, which are subject to increased credit and liquidity risks. Senior loans are business loans made to borrowers that may be U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities. The senior loans in which the Fund invests may consist primarily of senior loans that are rated below investment grade or, if unrated, deemed by Lord Abbett to be equivalent to below investment grade securities. Below investment grade senior loans, as in the case of high-yield debt securities, or junk bonds, are usually more credit sensitive than interest rate sensitive, although the value of these instruments may be impacted by broader interest rate swings in the overall fixed income market. In addition, senior loans may be subject to structural subordination.

 

Geopolitical and other events (e.g., wars, terrorism, natural disasters, infectious illness outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics) may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets, thereby decreasing the value of the Fund’s investments. Market disruptions can also prevent the Fund from implementing its investment strategies and achieving its investment objective.

 

Adverse developments that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, may reduce liquidity in the market generally or have other adverse effects on the economy, the Fund or issuers in which the Fund invests. In addition, issuers in which the Fund invests and the Fund may not be able to identify all potential solvency or stress concerns with respect to a financial institution or to transfer assets from one bank or financial institution to another in a timely manner in the event such bank or financial institution comes under stress or fails.

 

The impacts and effects of infectious illness outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics (such as the COVID-19 outbreak), may be short term or may continue for an extended period of time. For example, a global pandemic or other widespread health crises could negatively affect the global economy, the economies of individual countries, and the financial performance of individual issuers, sectors, industries, asset classes, and markets in significant and unforeseen ways. Health crises caused by outbreaks of disease may also exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The foregoing could disrupt the operations of the Fund and its service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance and your investment in the Fund.

 

Advancements in technology may also adversely impact markets and the overall performance of the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of technology. As the use of technology grows, liquidity and market movements may be affected. As technology is used more widely in the asset management industry, the profitability and growth of the Fund’s holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture Fund, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2024, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian or counterparties; when replies were not received from counterparties, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Exhibit-99.CODE ETH

 

THE LORD ABBETT FAMILY OF FUNDS

SARBANES-OXLEY CODE OF ETHICS

FOR THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER

AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

 

I. Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

 

The Lord Abbett Family of Funds’ code of ethics (the “Code”) for the investment companies within the complex (collectively, “Funds” and each individually a “Fund”), applies to each Fund’s Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers (the “Covered Officers”, each of whom is set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:

 

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
   
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds;
   
compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;
   
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and
   
accountability for adherence to the Code.

 

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

 

II.Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Any Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

 

Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his/her service to, a Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his/her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his/her position with a Fund.

 

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and a Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the investment adviser to each of the Funds. The compliance programs and procedures of Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”) are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of such requirements. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

 

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between each of the Funds

 

June 2003

 

and Lord Abbett of which the Covered Officers are also members. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for a Fund or for Lord Abbett, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on Lord Abbett and each of the Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between each of the Funds and Lord Abbett and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of one or more Funds and, if addressed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Funds that the Covered Officers are also officers of the other Lord Abbett investment companies covered by this and by a separate code of ethics.

 

Other conflicts of interest are covered by this Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. In reading the following examples of conflicts of interest under this Code, Covered Officers should keep in mind that such a list cannot ever be exhaustive by covering every possible scenario. It follows that the overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of a Fund.

 

          *                      *                    *                      *

Each Covered Officer must:

 

not use his/her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund; and
   
not cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the Fund.

 

There are some potential conflict of interest situations that should be discussed with Lord Abbett’s General Counsel if material. Examples of these include:

 

service as a director on the board of any public company;
   
any direct ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Funds’ service providers, other than Lord Abbett or any affiliated person of Lord Abbett;
   
a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares, other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or as a member of Lord Abbett.

 

III. Disclosure & Compliance

 

Each Covered Officer should familiarize him/herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds;

 

June 2003

 
each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Fund to others, whether within or outside Lord Abbett or a Fund, including to a Fund’s independent directors/trustees and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;
   
each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his/her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and Lord Abbett with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and
   
it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

IV. Reporting and Accountability

 

Each Covered Officer must:

 

upon adoption of the Code, affirm in writing to the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of a Fund that he/she has received, read, and understands the Code;
   
annually thereafter affirm to the Committee that he/she has complied with the requirements of the Code;
   
report at least annually such affiliations or other relationships related to conflicts of interest as covered by the Funds’ Annual Directors & Officers Questionnaire;
   
not retaliate against any employee or member of Lord Abbett for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and
   
notify Lord Abbett’s General Counsel promptly if he/she alleges any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

 

Lord Abbett’s General Counsel is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The General Counsel may consult, as appropriate, with the Committee, and/or counsel to the Independent Directors, and is encouraged to do so. However, any approvals or waivers sought by the Covered Persons will be considered by the Committee.

 

June 2003

 

Each of the Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

 

Lord Abbett’s General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him;
   
if, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action, but he shall discuss with the Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting his investigation and conclusion;
   
any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the Committee;
   
if the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of Lord Abbett; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;
   
the Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and
   
any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

 

V. Other Policies and Procedures

 

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds’ adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superceded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Funds’ and Lord Abbett’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

 

VI. Amendments

 

Except as to the individuals listed in Exhibit A, this Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved or ratified by a majority vote of a Fund’s independent directors/trustees.

 

VII. Confidentiality

 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Committee and its counsel.

 

June 2003

 
VIII. Internal Use

 

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by each of the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
