About LIFRX

Lord Abbett Inflation Focused Fund Class R3 is an actively managed mutual fund designed to deliver total returns that exceed U.S. inflation over a full cycle. The strategy centers on a diversified core of short- to intermediate‑term fixed income securities, complemented by targeted inflation‑linked instruments. A notable feature is the use of CPI‑linked derivatives—such as inflation swaps—that exchange expected inflation for realized changes in the Consumer Price Index to help preserve purchasing power during rising price environments. The portfolio typically emphasizes investment‑grade bonds, including U.S. TIPS and corporate issues, with interest‑rate sensitivity managed through shorter duration and limited maturities to moderate volatility. The fund distributes income monthly and maintains a broad opportunity set across hundreds of holdings to balance liquidity and credit risk. Its stated objective and construction position it within the inflation‑protected bond category, serving investors who seek bond‑like income while aligning returns with inflation metrics across economic regimes.
