About LDLQX

Lord Abbett Short Duration Income Fund Class R2 is an actively managed open‑end mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income while emphasizing preservation of capital. The strategy concentrates on short‑duration fixed income, typically investing across investment‑grade corporate bonds, U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage‑backed and other asset‑backed securities, and select U.S. dollar‑denominated issues from non‑U.S. issuers. By maintaining a short average effective duration, the fund seeks to moderate interest‑rate sensitivity while offering consistent income through monthly distributions. Management employs broad sector and issuer diversification, reflected in a large number of holdings, and aligns results against short‑term corporate bond benchmarks to frame risk and return. The fund plays a role in the market as a short‑term bond option for investors seeking credit diversification beyond cash or ultrashort vehicles without extending materially into intermediate duration. Its profile—combining active credit selection, multi‑sector exposure, and short interest‑rate positioning—positions it as a core short‑duration building block within fixed income allocations, particularly for liquidity‑aware portfolios and plan platforms that utilize retirement‑plan share classes.
