About LALDX

Lord Abbett Short Duration Income Fund Class A is an actively managed open‑end mutual fund focused on short‑maturity fixed income. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of income while emphasizing preservation of capital through a diversified portfolio of short duration debt securities. The fund invests predominantly in investment‑grade bonds and maintains broad exposure across sectors such as corporate credit, asset‑backed and mortgage‑related securities, collateralized loan obligations, and selected government and agency issues, resulting in a moderate credit profile with limited interest‑rate sensitivity. The strategy targets an effective duration of only a few years, positioning it as a lower‑volatility core bond holding for investors seeking steady income and dampened rate risk relative to intermediate bonds. Established in 1993 and managed by Lord Abbett, the fund distributes income monthly and typically holds over a thousand positions to enhance diversification and liquidity. Its sizable asset base and consistent process underscore its role as a staple in the short‑term bond category for balancing income needs with capital stability.
