Municipal Bond Market Review

The unemployment rate declined from 8.4% in August to 7.9% as of September 30, 2020. Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 661,000 in September 2020, reflecting the continued resumption of economic activity that had been curtailed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Real gross domestic product (GDP) for the nation decreased at an annual rate of 31.4%, during the second quarter of 2020, according to statistics released by the

United States Bureau of Economic Analysis. Despite a recent pick-up in economic activity, the country still faces an uphill battle in the recovery phase of the coronavirus-induced economic downturn.

Municipal bond issuance for the calendar year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020 totaled approximately $347 billion, a 23.6% increase in issuance compared with the prior calendar year-to-date period, ended September 30, 2019. Municipal yields decreased across the curve during

the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020. Bonds within the 5-15 year range and bonds with higher credit qualities significantly outperformed the broader municipal bond market (as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index1) during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020.

The municipal market turned negative in mid-March amid volatility stemming from COVID-19 concerns. At the onset of the pandemic, investors feared a protracted slowdown in economic activity would weigh on the fundamentals of many municipalities and related enterprises. As a result, the market moved sharply lower as a 60-week streak of mutual fund inflows turned to outflows. As investors began to withdraw capital from funds rapidly, particularly high yield municipal funds, we saw portfolio managers across the market sell bonds to meet redemption requests. Bond prices quickly adjusted lower in order to reach levels that became attractive for non-retail buyers.

Beginning in early May, however, the municipal market has staged an impressive rebound and we believe investor demand has returned, as municipal mutual funds experienced 19 consecutive weeks of inflows before experiencing the first week of outflows. Looking forward, all eyes will be on the upcoming Presidential election, where we believe if the Republican Party maintains control of the Executive Branch, the Affordable Care Act (ACA)

may come under renewed pressure, potentially leading to higher numbers of uninsured patients and more unpaid hospital bills. Conversely, if the Democratic Party wins the election, we believe certain provisions of the ACA may be reinstated, leading to fewer unpaid bills and more proactive care. Finally, we believe infrastructure will be a key focus for Washington after the election, regardless of the outcome, potentially leading to an increase in municipal bond issuance. As a result of increased supply, municipal yields may face upward pressure. However, we believe the market is likely to absorb the elevated levels of supply.

 

Short Duration Tax Free Fund

The Short Duration Tax Free Fund returned 1.68%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of class A Shares with all distributions reinvested, for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2020. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Short 1-5 Year Index2, returned 3.35% during the same period. As yields across the tax-free curve moved lower, the Fund’s slightly longer duration contributed to relative performance. The Fund’s relative overweight to bonds rated ‘BBB’ and lower detracted from relative performance partially due to headwinds caused by the coronavirus pandemic. With regard to sectors, an overweight allocation to the transportation sector contributed to

relative performance, while security selection in housing bonds detracted.

As yields across the tax-free curve moved lower, the Fund’s longer duration relative to the benchmark led to a positive impact on relative performance. Security selection in bonds rated ‘BBB’ and lower detracted from relative performance. With regard to sectors, security selection and an overweight in the health care sector detracted as hospital systems dealt with the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, including being forced to provide lower margin basic care relative to high-margin elective procedures. Security selection in tobacco bonds led to a positive impact on relative performance.

As yields across the tax-free curve moved lower, the Fund’s longer duration relative to the benchmark led to a positive impact on relative performance. Security selection within ‘BBB’ and lower rated bonds led to a negative impact on relative performance. With regard to revenue sectors, security selection in health care credits detracted while an overweight allocation to and security selection in the government lease sector contributed to relative returns.

 

California Tax Free Fund

sectors, an overweight allocation to and security selection within the health care sector detracted from relative performance. The sector detracted as hospital systems dealt with the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, including being forced to provide lower margin basic care relative to high-margin elective procedures.

Investment Comparison

 

Below is a comparison of a $10,000 investment in Class A shares to the same investment in the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The performance of other classes will be greater than or less than the performance shown in the graph below due to different sales loads and expenses applicable to such classes. The graph and performance table below do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. During certain periods, expenses of the Fund have been waived or reimbursed by Lord Abbett; without such waiver or reimbursement of expenses, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (these charges vary among the share classes); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (these charges vary among the share classes); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020).

 

Actual Expenses

For each class of each Fund, the first line of the table on the following pages provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During Period 4/1/20 – 9/30/20” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class of each Fund, the second line of the table on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Each of California, New Jersey and New York also seeks as high a level of interest income exempt from the personal income tax of its corresponding state as is consistent with reasonable risk. In addition, New York seeks as high a level of interest income exempt from New York City personal income tax as is consistent with reasonable risk.

 

Each class has 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 and I 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 each Fund’s prospectus); and Class C shares redeemed before the first anniversary of purchase. Effective June 30, 2020, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on the 25th day of the month (or, if the 25th 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 first conversion of Class C to A Shares under this new policy took place on July 25, 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of June 30, 2020. Prior to June 30, 2020, Class C shares converted following the tenth anniversary of the month on which the purchase order was accepted.

 

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. These Funds are considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

 

(a)Investment ValuationUnder procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”), Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), each Fund’s investment manager, has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio investments and to ensure that prices utilized reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.

 

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. Exchange traded options and futures contracts are valued at the last sale price in the market where they are principally traded. If no sale has occurred, the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices is used.

 

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 regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee and may employ techniques such as reviewing related market activity, reviewing inputs and assumptions, and retrospectively comparing prices of subsequent purchases and sales transactions to fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee.

 

Investments in open-end money market mutual funds are valued at their NAV as of the close of each business day. Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value.

 

(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 income on the Statements of Operations. 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 each 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.

 

195

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Each 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 each Fund’s filed U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 through September 30, 2020. The statutes of limitations on the Company’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

 

(e)ExpensesExpenses incurred by the Company that do not specifically relate to an individual fund are generally allocated to the Funds within the Company on a pro rata basis by relative net assets. Expenses, 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. Each share class bears its class-specific share of expenses.

 

(f)Futures ContractsEach 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 a Fund called “variation margin” are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. Each 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.

 

(g)When-Issued Municipal BondsEach Fund may purchase new issues of municipal bonds, which are generally offered on a when-issued basis, with delivery and payment normally taking place approximately one month after the purchase date.

 

(h)Municipal Bonds Held in TrustEach Fund may invest in leveraged residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”) issued by tender option bond trusts (“TOBs”). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity into which a Fund, or an agent on behalf of the Fund, transfers municipal securities. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates (trust certificates), which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates, which are generally issued to a Fund which made the transfer or to affiliates of the Fund. Each Fund’s transfer of the municipal securities to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, therefore the municipal securities deposited into a TOB are presented as investments in a Fund’s Schedule of Investments and the proceeds from the transactions are reported as a liability for trust certificates on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Similarly, proceeds from residual certificates issued to affiliates, if any, from the transaction are included in the liability for trust certificates. Interest income from the underlying security is recorded by a Fund on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are reported as expenses of a Fund. The floating rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. The residual interests held by a Fund include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share of floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par and (2) to transfer a corresponding share of the municipal securities from the TOB to the Fund. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of the Fund upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of the liquidity

 

196

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third party investors.

 

The following is a summary of each Fund’s liability for trust certificates, range of interest rates for such certificates and the aggregate value of the underlying municipal securities transferred to TOBs as of September 30, 2020, as well as the average trust certificates for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020:

 

             Underlying   Average 
       Interest Rate   Municipal Bonds   Trust 
    Liability for   or Range of   Transferred   Certificates 
  Fund  Trust Certificates   Interest Rates   to TOBs   Outstanding 
  Short Duration    $       $        $ 
  Intermediate                
  National               5,000,000 
  High Yield                
  Short Duration High Yield                
  California                
  New Jersey                
  New York                

 

Financial transactions executed through TOBs generally will underperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate municipal bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Should short-term interest rates rise, a Fund’s investment in TOB Residuals likely will adversely affect a Fund’s net investment income and distributions to shareholders. Fluctuations in the market value of municipal securities deposited into the TOB may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV per share. As of September 30, 2020, the carrying value of each Fund’s Liability for Trust Certificates approximates its fair value.

 

While the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in inverse floating rate securities such as TOB Residuals, they generally do not allow the Funds to borrow money for purposes of making investments. The Funds’ management believes that the Funds’ restrictions on borrowings do not apply to TOB transactions, accounted for as secured borrowings.

 

(i)Fair Value MeasurementsFair value is defined as the price that each 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

 

197

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
       
A summary of inputs used in valuing each Fund’s investments and other financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and, if applicable, Level 3 rollforwards for the fiscal year then ended is included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

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 Fees

4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS  

 

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by allowable capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. 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

 

200

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 September 30, 2020 and fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:

6. DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES  

 

Each Fund, except Short Duration entered into U.S. Treasury futures contracts during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 (as described in note 2(f)) to economically hedge against changes in interest rates. The Funds bear the risk of interest rates moving unexpectedly, in which case the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and realize a loss. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees futures against default.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Funds had interest rate futures contracts with cumulative net unrealized appreciation/depreciation which are included in the Schedules of Investments.

7. DISCLOSURES ABOUT OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES  

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) requires disclosure to help better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund’s financial position. These requirements include the disclosure of gross and net information about recognized assets and liabilities eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities; and to disclose such amounts subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement, by a 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 Funds’ 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 a Fund and the applicable counterparty. As of September 30, 2020, the Funds did not have assets or liabilities subject to the FASB disclosure requirements.

8. DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION  

 

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

 

9. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS  

 

The Company has entered into an arrangement with its transfer agent and custodian, whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of each Fund’s expenses.

 

10. LINE OF CREDIT  

 

For the period ended August 5, 2020, the Fund and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Participating Funds”) entered into a syndicated line of credit facility with various lenders for $1.17 billion (the “Syndicated Facility”) whereas 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, $350 million, $500 million, or $1 billion, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors. Effective August 6, 2020, 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, $300 million, $600 million, or $900 million, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

 

For the period ended September 30, 2020, the Participating Funds were party to an additional line of credit facility with SSB for $330 million (the “Bilateral Facility”), $250 million committed and $80 million uncommitted. Under the Bilateral Facility, the Participating Funds are subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of Fund net assets (if net assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, or $330 million, based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

 

The Syndicated Facility and the Bilateral Facility are to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to satisfy redemptions.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Funds did not utilize the Facilities.

 

11. 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 each Fund, participate in a joint lending and borrowing program (the “Interfund Lending Program”). The SEC exemptive order allows the Funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes subject to the limitations and conditions.

 

204

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Funds did not participate as a borrower or lender in the Interfund Lending Program.

 

12. CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT  

 

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

 

13. SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT  

 

The Funds have 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 Funds’ 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 Funds may experience a delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become 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 Income on the Statement of Operations.

 

The initial collateral received by the funds are 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 the Funds’ agent; the Funds will bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. The advantage of such loans is that the Funds continue 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.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Funds did not loan any securities.

 

14. INVESTMENT RISKS  

 

Each Fund’s performance and the fair value of its investments will vary in response to changes in interest rates and other market factors. As interest rates rise, a Fund’s investments typically will lose value. This risk is usually greater for long-term bonds and particularly for TOB Residuals. As a result, each Fund, to the extent it invests in long-term bonds and TOB Residuals, is subject to such greater market risk. During periods of falling interest rates, a Fund’s investments may gain value; however, because Short Duration and Short Duration High Yield typically invest in shorter term bonds, those Funds are subject to the risk that they will underperform funds invested in longer-term bonds during such periods.

 

Additional risks that could reduce each Fund’s performance or increase volatility include call risk credit risk, defaulted bonds risk (High Yield and Short Duration High Yield only), derivatives risk, distressed debt risk (High Yield and Short Duration High Yield only), extension risk, governmental risk, industry risk, liquidity risk, market and portfolio management risks, market disruption and geopolitical risk state and territory risks, taxability risk and zero coupon, deferred interest, pay-in-kind, and capital appreciation bonds risk (all Funds except Short Duration, Intermediate, and Short

Duration High Yield). Credit risk varies among states based upon the economic and fiscal conditions of each state and the municipalities within the state.

 

There is the risk that an issuer of a municipal bond may fail to make timely payments of principal or interest to a Fund, a risk that is greater with municipal bonds rated below investment grade (sometimes called “lower rated bonds” or “junk bonds”). High Yield and Short Duration High Yield, and, to a lesser extent, other Funds invest a portion of its assets in such bonds. Some issuers, particularly of junk bonds, may default as to principal and/or interest payments after a Fund purchases their securities. A default, or concerns in the market about an increase in risk of default or the deterioration in the creditworthiness of an issuer, may result in losses to a Fund. Junk bonds are considered predominantly speculative by traditional investment standards. In addition, the market for lower rated municipal bonds generally is less liquid and more volatile than the market for higher rated bonds, subjecting them to greater price fluctuations which could result in losses.

 

Each of High Yield, Short Duration High Yield, California, New Jersey and New York is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a greater portion of its assets in a single issuer than a diversified fund. Thus, it may be exposed to greater risk.

 

Because each of California, New Jersey, and New York focuses on a particular state or territory, the Fund’s performance may be more affected by local, state and regional factors than a Fund that invests in municipal bonds issued in many states. These factors may include, for example, economic or political developments, erosion of the tax base and the possibility of credit problems. In addition, downturns or developments in the U.S. economy or in foreign economies or significant world events may harm the performance of any of the Funds (including Short Duration, Intermediate, National, High Yield, and Short Duration High Yield), and may do so disproportionately as a result of the corresponding disproportionate impact of such occurrences on particular state, territory, or local economies.

 

Each Fund may invest in private activity bonds (sometimes called “AMT paper”). The credit quality of AMT paper usually is directly related to the credit standing of the private user of the facilities.

 

High Yield, Short Duration High Yield and, to a lesser extent, other Funds may invest in TOB Residuals. A TOB Residual, sometimes referred to as an inverse floater or a residual interest bond (“RIB”), is a type of derivative debt instrument with a floating or variable interest rate that moves in the opposite direction of the interest rate on another specific fixed-rate security. Changes in the interest rate on the specific fixed-rate security inversely affect the residual interest paid on the TOB Residual, with the result that when interest rates rise, TOB Residuals’ interest payments are lowered and their value falls faster than securities similar to the specific fixed-rate security. When interest rates fall, not only do TOB Residuals generally provide interest payments that are higher than securities similar to the specific fixed-rate security, but their values generally also rise faster than such similar securities.

 

In addition, loss may result from a Fund’s investments in certain derivative transactions such as futures contracts, swap transactions, interest rate caps, TOB Residuals and similar transactions. These instruments may be leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate and substantial losses to a Fund. They also may increase a Fund’s interest rate risk.

 

Each Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for such securities can take place a month or more after the transaction date. During this period such securities are subject to market fluctuations.

 

206

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Geopolitical and other events (e.g., wars, terrorism, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak which began in late 2019) may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets, thereby decreasing the value of each Fund’s investments. Market disruptions can also prevent the Funds from implementing its investment strategies and achieving its investment objective.

 

The transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in, among other things, border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions, significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity, lower consumer demand for goods and services, event cancellations and restrictions, service cancellations, reductions and other changes, significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery, and prolonged quarantines, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak 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.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects may last for an extended period of time, and in either case could result in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn or recession. The foregoing could disrupt the operations of each Fund and its service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of each Fund’s investments, and negatively impact each Fund’s performance and your investment in each Fund.

 

These factors can affect each Fund’s performance.

16. REORGANIZATION  

 

As of the close of business on March 22, 2019, National acquired the net assets of AMT Free, pursuant to a plan of reorganization. The reorganization permitted AMT Free shareholders to pursue a substantially similar investment goal, but as part of a larger fund with a lower expense ratio. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange whereby holders of shares of AMT Free outstanding on March 22, 2019 received shares valued at $201,497,691 of National. AMT Free’s net assets at the date of acquisition, including $8,144,374 of net unrealized appreciation, $298,718 of undistributed net investment income and $(6,500,530) of accumulated net realized losses, were combined with those of National. The cost basis of securities received from AMT Free was carried forward.

 

The total net assets of AMT Free immediately before the transfer were $201,497,691. Total net assets of National immediately before the transfer were $2,150,472,746. Total net assets of National immediately after the transfer were $2,351,970,437.

 

The following table illustrates share conversion ratios and dollar amounts of the reorganization on March 22, 2019:

 

   AMT Free   Conversion   National   National 
Class  Shares   Ratio   Shares   Amount 
A   7,879,445    1.416318    11,159,800    $126,998,522 
C   1,392,195    1.414723    1,969,571    22,433,415 
F   1,964,920    1.417520    2,785,313    31,669,013 
F3   338,368    1.419120    480,185    5,459,706 
I   926,207    1.418391    1,313,723    14,937,035 

 

213

 

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

 

Had the acquisition been completed on October 1, 2018, the beginning of National’s 2019 fiscal year, the Fund’s condensed pro-forma results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2019 would be as follows:

 

Net investment income:  $78,147,462 
Net realized and unrealized gain:  $146,027,374 
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations:  $224,174,836 

 

The combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed. Revenue and earnings of AMT Free’s portfolio holdings have been included in National’s Statement of Operations since the date of acquisition.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Lord Abbett Municipal Income Fund, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Lord Abbett Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) comprising Lord Abbett Short Duration Tax Free Fund, Lord Abbett Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Lord Abbett National Tax-Free Income Fund, Lord Abbett High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Lord Abbett Short Duration High Yield Municipal Bond Fund, Lord Abbett California Tax-Free Income Fund, Lord Abbett New Jersey Tax-Free Income Fund, and Lord Abbett New York Tax-Free Income Fund, including the schedules of investments, as of September 30, 2020, the related statements 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 each of the funds constituting the Lord Abbett Municipal Income Fund, Inc. as of September 30, 2020, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their 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 Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’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 September 30, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, each Fund has adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program and Policy (“Program”). The Program is designed to assess, manage and periodically review the Fund’s liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is defined under Rule 22e-4 as the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board has appointed Lord Abbett as the administrator for each Fund’s Program. At the May 28-29, 2020 meeting, Lord Abbett provided the Board with a report addressing the operation of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period December 1, 2018 through February 28, 2020. Lord Abbett reported that the Program operated effectively during the period. In particular, Lord Abbett reported that: the Fund did not breach its 15% limit on illiquid investments at any point during the period and all regulatory reporting related to Rule 22e-4 was completed on time and without issue during the period. There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Funds’ prospectus for more information regarding each Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

 

Householding

 

The Company has adopted a policy that allows it to send only one copy of each Fund’s prospectus, proxy material, annual report and semiannual report to certain shareholders residing at the same “household.” This reduces Fund expenses, which benefits you and other shareholders. If you need additional copies or do not want your mailings to be “householded,” please call Lord Abbett at 888-522-2388 or send a written request with your name, the name of your fund or funds and your account number or numbers to Lord Abbett Family of Funds, P.O. Box 219336, Kansas City, MO 64121.
