Q: What were the overall market conditions during the year ended December 31, 2007?

A: International equity markets posted strong returns for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2007. The MSCI EAFE® Index with Net Dividends,¹ primarily a large company index, rose 11.17% (in U.S. dollar terms), and the S&P/Citigroup Extended Market World ex-U.S. Index,² primarily a small company index, rose 7.32% (in U.S. dollar terms), outperforming the U.S. equity markets, as measured by the S&P 500® Index,³ which rose 5.49% (in U.S. dollar terms). Developed markets, including Europe, which made up 70% of the MSCI EAFE Index as of December 31, 2007, had a strong 12-month period with positive

1

returns posted by developed market indexes. Emerging markets also performed well, as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index with Net Dividends⁴ returned 39.39% (in U.S. dollar terms) over the period.

While markets outside the U.S. performed well during the 12-month period, the performance belies the volatility experienced during the year owing to concerns about rising oil prices, the U.S. subprime market, and the subsequent deterioration in credit markets. As a result, financial stocks were hit hardest globally. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) reacted by cutting the discount rate by 50 basis points (bps) on September 18 in an attempt to allow banks access to funding. This provided a brief respite for global markets, but bank/financial stocks began to falter again as third quarter earnings disappointed. By the end of October, bank/financial stocks rallied in anticipation of the Fed's rate cut of 25 bps on October 31. However, the last two months of the year proved to be volatile as renewed credit worries sapped confidence.

Oil prices for most of the year were quite volatile owing to geopolitical concerns. At the beginning of the year, oil was trading at below $60 per barrel, which contrasts with its sharp increase over the subsequent 12 months, when it reached its all-time high of almost $100 per barrel.

Emerging equity markets finished the year quite strongly, reflecting the strong economic fundamentals in developing economies. Global demand for commodity exports from countries like Brazil and Chile remained strong, although prices in some commodities, like Chilean copper, seemed to stabilize. Latin America and Asia, in particular, significantly outperformed the developed markets. The U.S. dollar lost ground in global currency markets during much of the year.

Lord Abbett Global Equity Fund

Q: How did the Global Equity Fund perform during the year ended December 31, 2007?

A: The Fund returned 11.82%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class A shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to its benchmark, the MSCI World Index with Gross Dividends,⁵ which returned 9.57% over the same period.

Q: What were the most significant factors affecting performance?

A: The greatest contributors to the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark for the one-year period were the financials sector (owing to an underweight position), the materials sector, and the healthcare sector.

Among the individual holdings that contributed to performance were materials holdings Monsanto Co. (the Fund's number-one contributor), a

2

provider of technology-based solutions and agricultural products for growers and downstream customers in the agricultural markets, and Alcan Inc., a multinational aluminum industry company; financials holdings National Bank of Greece S.A., an international provider of retail and corporate banking services, and Agile Property Holdings Ltd., a developer of properties in the Guangdong province, China; and consumer discretionary holding GameStop Corp., an operator of specialty electronic game and PC entertainment software stores.

The worst detractors from the Fund's performance were the energy sector and the consumer discretionary sector.

Among the individual holdings that detracted from performance were energy holding Electromagnetic GeoServices AS (the Fund's number-one detractor), a specialist in seabed logging, a technique used in the search for offshore hydrocarbons; and four financials holdings: Citigroup Inc., a worldwide provider of a broad range of financial services, Orix Corp., a worldwide provider of comprehensive financial services, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, a provider of banking, insurance, and finance-related activities, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc., a Japanese supplier of commercial banking and a variety of financial services.

The Fund's portfolio is actively managed and, therefore, its holdings and weightings of a particular issuer or particular sector as a percentage of portfolio assets are subject to change. Sectors may include many industries.

Lord Abbett Developing Local Markets Fund

(Prior to June 29, 2007, the Lord Abbett Developing Local Markets Fund was known as the Lord Abbett Global Income Fund. Performance commentary in this report is divided into two components of six months each. The first six months of the calendar year reflect the Fund's investment strategy and benchmark as a global bond fund. Effective June 29, 2007, the Fund adopted a new investment objective, investment strategy, and benchmark. Since that date, the Fund seeks high total return through investing primarily in instruments that provide investment exposure to the currencies of, and in fixed-income instruments denominated in the currencies of, developing markets. Developing markets include countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe. Accordingly, the performance discussed for the second six–month period of the calendar year reflects this new strategy.)

Q: How did the Developing Local Markets Fund perform during the year ended December 31, 2007?

A: The Fund returned 7.98%, reflecting performance at the net asset value (NAV) of Class A shares with all distributions reinvested, compared to its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Bond Index,⁶ which returned 9.41% over the same period. The Fund's new benchmark, the JPMorgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus,⁷ returned 9.33% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2007.

Q: What were the most significant factors affecting performance?

A: The Fund was managed as a global bond fund in the first six months of the calendar year. The following performance discussion reflects the global bond fund strategy from January 1, 2007, through June 28, 2007. Performance is relative to the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Bond Index⁶. Detracting from performance relative to its benchmark was the portfolio's overweight position in mortgage-backed securities, particularly commercial mortgage-backed securities, which were negatively affected by the distress in the U.S. subprime mortgage market. Spreads between mortgages and U.S. Treasuries widened in the period.

Contributing to performance relative to its benchmark were the portfolio's holdings in Brazilian and Mexican bonds, both of which were bought and then sold during the period. In the currency market, the portfolio's underweight position in the U.S. dollar and overweight in euro and British pound added to performance as the Bank of England and the European Central Bank raised rates. Also helping performance was the portfolio's overweight position in long–term European bonds and an underweight position in intermediate-term bonds. An underweight position in investment-grade bonds aided performance as spreads between that sector and U.S. Treasuries widened.

The Fund was managed as a developing local markets currency fund in the second half of the year. The following performance discussion reflects the local developing markets strategy from June 29, 2007, through December 31, 2007. Performance is relative to the JPMorgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus⁷. A key strategy employed by the Fund was to overweight currencies of countries that are benefiting from high commodity prices, such as the Brazilian real and Chilean peso. The portfolio was overweight in both currencies in the calendar year. The portfolio also had an overweight position in the Turkish lira, as that currency benefited from that nation's continuing economic strength. Also contributing to performance in the period was the portfolio's underweight in lower-yielding Asian currencies, such as the Taiwan and Hong Kong dollars. Detracting from performance during the calendar year was the portfolio's overweight in the Indonesi an rupiah.

The Fund's portfolio is actively managed and, therefore, its holdings and weightings of a particular issuer or particular sector as a percentage of portfolio assets are subject to change. Sectors may include many industries.

Investment Comparison

Below is a comparison of a $10,000 investment in Class A shares with the same investment in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index ("With Gross Dividends") and the MSCI World Index ("With Net Dividends"), assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. "With Net Dividends" reflects a reduction in dividends after taking into account withholding of taxes by certain foreign countries represented in the MSCI World Index. The performance of the 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. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Developing Local Markets

Investment Comparison

Below is a comparison of a $10,000 investment in Class A shares with the same investment in the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Bond Index and the JPMorgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Fund believes that the JPMorgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus is a more appropriate benchmark for the Fund as a measure of the Fund's performance, and therefore will remove Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Bond Index in its 2008 Annual Report. The performance of the 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.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges 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 each 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 (July 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007).

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 entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period 7/1/07 – 12/31/07" 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 each 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.

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. 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.

1. ORGANIZATION

Lord Abbett Global Fund, Inc. (the "Company") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") as an open-end management investment company incorporated under Maryland law on February 23, 1988. The Company consists of the following two portfolios (the "Funds") and their respective classes: Equity Series ("Global Equity Fund") and Lord Abbett Developing Local Markets Fund ("Developing Local Markets Fund"; formerly named the "Global Income Fund"), Classes A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 shares. As of the date of this report, no P, R2 or R3 shares have been issued for Global Equity Fund. Global Equity Fund is diversified as defined under the Act and the Developing Local Markets Fund is non-diversified. Effective September 28, 2007, Class Y was renamed Class I. As of October 1, 2007, the Fund's Class P shares were closed to substantially all new retirement and benefit plans and fee-based programs, with certain exceptions as set for th in the Funds' Prospectus.

Global Equity Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital and income consistent with reasonable risk. The production of current income is a secondary consideration. Developing Local Markets Fund's investment objective is to seek high total return. Each class of shares 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 the Classes B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 shares, although there may be a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") as follows: certain redemptions of Class A shares made within 12 months following certain purchases made without a sales charge; Class B shares redeemed before the sixth anniversary of purchase; and Class C shares redeemed before the first anniversary of purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares on the eighth anniversary of an original purchase of Class B shares .

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)  Investment Valuation–Securities 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 more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The Funds may rely on an independent fair valuation service in adjusting the valuations of foreign 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 asked prices. Fixed income securit ies are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices on the basis of prices supplied by independent pricing services, which reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations and 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 market quotations are not

41

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

readily available are valued at fair value as determined by management and approved in good faith by the Board of Directors. Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates current market value.

(b)  Security Transactions–Security 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 Income–Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of 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)  Federal Taxes–It 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 Federal income tax provision is required.

(e)  Expenses–Expenses 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. 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. Class A, B, C, F, P, R2 and R3 shares bear their class specific share of all expenses and fees relating to the Funds' 12b-1 Distribution Plan.

(f)  Foreign Transactions–The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in each Fund's records at the rate prevailing when earned or recorded. Asset and liability accounts that are denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted to reflect current exchange rates. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in Net realized gain on investments, futures contracts and foreign currency related transactions on each Fund's Statement of Operations. Each 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.

(g)  Commitments–At December 31, 2007, Global Equity Fund had entered into foreign exchange contracts, under which it had agreed to purchase and sell various foreign currencies with approximate values of $814,552 and $10,415, respectively.

(h)  Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts–The Developing Local Markets Fund may invest substantially in forward foreign currency contracts or other derivatives, such as options, futures contracts, and swap agreements. U.S. fixed income instruments are used to "cover" the Developing Local Markets Fund's net exposure under forward contracts and other instruments that provide investment exposure to the currencies of developing markets. The Global Equity Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings and to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of firm purchase and sale commitments for

42

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

securities denominated in foreign currencies. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. Forward contracts may also be structured for cash settlement rather than physical delivery. The contracts are valued daily at forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments, futures contracts and translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on each 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 foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing of such contracts is included in Net realized gain on investments, futures contracts and foreign currency related transactions on the Statement of Operations.

(i)  Futures Contracts–Each Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts for bona fide hedging purposes including hedging against changes in interest rates and securities prices. 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 called "variation margin" are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. The Funds 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. Generally, open futures contracts are marked to market for Federal income tax purposes at fiscal year-end. As of December 31, 2007, only Developing Local Markets Fund had open futures contracts.

(j)  When-Issued or Forward Transactions–Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or forward basis. When-issued, forward transactions or to-be-announced ("TBA") transactions involve a commitment by a 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 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 an amount sufficient to make payment at settlement will be segregated at each Fund's custod ian in order to pay for the commitment. At the time each 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 value of the security in determining its net asset value. Each 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.

(k)  TBA Sale Commitments–Developing Local Markets Fund may enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as "cover" for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under "Investment Valuation" above. The contract is adjusted to market value daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as u nrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the TBA sale (purchase) commitment is closed

43

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase (sale) commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.

(l)  Mortgage Dollar Rolls–Developing Local Markets Fund may sell mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contract to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specific 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.

(m)  Repurchase Agreements–Each 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. Each 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 value of these securities has dec lined, the Funds may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities.

(n)  Reverse Repurchase Agreements–Developing Local Markets 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 agrees to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon later date at an agreed-upon price. The interest payments associated with such transactions are included in interest expense in the Statement of Operations. Reverse repurchase agreements expose a Fund to credit risk, but this risk is reduced because each Fund maintains collateral equal to at least 100% of the market value of the securities sold. As of December 31, 2007, Developing Local Markets Fund did not have any open reverse repurchase agreements.

The average balance of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding and the weighted-average interest rate during the year ended December 31, 2007, was as follows:

	Weighted Average Daily Balance		Weighted Average Interest Rate
Developing Local Markets Fund	$	95,902		4.51	%

The maximum balance of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding during the year was $3,899,520 which was 6.64% of average daily net assets of Developing Local Markets Fund.

(o)  Short Sales–Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be realized upon the termination of a short sale. As of December 31, 2007, the Funds did not have any open short sales.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Lord Abbett provides certain administrative services to the Funds pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement at an annual rate of .04% of each Fund's average daily net assets.

12b-1 Distribution Plan

Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan with respect to Class A, B, C, F, P, R2 and R3 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 ("Distributor"), an affiliate of Lord Abbett. The fees are accrued daily at annual rates based upon average daily net assets as follows:

Fees*	Class A			Class B			Class C			Class F			Class P			Class R2			Class R3
Service		.25	%		.25	%		.25	%		-			.20	%		.25	%		.25	%
Distribution		.10	%		.75	%		.75	%		.10	%		.25	%		.35	%		.25	%

4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid semiannually for Global Equity Fund, and declared daily and paid monthly for Developing Local Markets. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by 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 amount 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 t he 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.

46

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

	Global Equity Fund				Developing Local Markets Fund

Total accumulated earnings (losses) – net	$	15,165,372		$	(5,628,249	)

* As of December 31, 2007, the capital loss carryforwards, along with the related expiration dates, are as follows:

	2008		2010		2014		2015		Total
Developing Local Markets Fund	$	2,677,712	$	3,056,190	$	1,173,526	$	1,482,087	$	8,389,515

Certain losses incurred after October 31 ("Post-October Losses"), within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund's next taxable year. Each fund incurred and will elect to defer net losses during fiscal 2007 as follows:

	Ordinary		Capital
Global Equity Fund	$	19,115	$	–
Developing Local Markets Fund		–		348,658

As of December 31, 2007, the aggregate unrealized security gains and losses based on cost for U.S. Federal income tax purposes are as follows:

	Global Equity Fund			Developing Local Markets Fund
Tax cost	$	111,368,538		$	51,384,028

Gross unrealized loss		(4,130,725	)		(11,155	)
Net unrealized security gain	$	13,424,029		$	691,997

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable to wash sales and amortization.

* Includes U.S. Government sponsored enterprises securities.

6. DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION

The Company's officers and the two Directors who are associated with Lord Abbett do not receive any compensation from the Company for serving in such capacities. Outside 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 outside Directors under which outside 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 have been invested in the funds. Such amounts and earnings accrued thereon are included in Directors' fees on the Statement of Operations and in Directors' fees payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are not deductible for U.S. Federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid.

7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS

The Company has entered into arrangements with the Funds' 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.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

Global Equity Fund, along with certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett, has available a $250,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility ("Facility") from a consortium of banks, to be

48

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Any borrowings under this Facility will bear interest at current market rates as defined in the agreement. The fee for this Facility is at an annual rate of .08%. As of December 31, 2007, there were no loans outstanding pursuant to this Facility nor was the Facility utilized at any time during the year ended December 31, 2007.

9. CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT

State Street Bank & Trust Company ("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.

10. INVESTMENT RISKS

Each Fund is subject to the risks of investing in securities that are issued by non-U.S. entities, the risks of investing in derivatives, liquidity risk, and the risks from leverage.

Foreign securities may pose greater risks than domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations, less government regulation, and higher transaction costs. Foreign investments also may be affected by changes in currency rates or currency controls.

Derivatives are subject to risks such as liquidity risk, leveraging risk, interest rate risk, market risk, and credit risk. Derivatives also 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.

Illiquid securities may lower a Fund's returns since the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at its desired time or price.

Leverage, including borrowing, may increase volatility in a Fund by magnifying the effect of changes in the value of the Fund's holdings. The use of leverage may cause investors in a Fund to lose more money in adverse environments than would be the case in the absence of leverage.

The Global Equity Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with equity investing. The value of an investment will fluctuate in response to movements in the stock market in general and to the changing prospects of individual companies in which the Global Equity Fund invests. Although certain companies in which the Global Equity Fund may invest may exhibit earnings and revenue growth above the market trend, the stocks of these companies may be more volatile and may drop in value if earnings and revenue growth do not meet expectations. With respect to foreign currency transactions in which the Fund may engage, there is no guarantee that these transactions will be successful. They may lower the Fund's return or result in significant losses.

The Developing Local Markets Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with investing in debt securities, including interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, the prices of debt securities and an investment in the Developing Local Markets Fund are likely to decline. In times of economic uncertainty, high-yield debt securities (or "junk bonds") may decline in price, even when interest rates are falling. There is also the risk that an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest to the Developing Local Markets Fund, a risk that is greater with junk bonds.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Foreign currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The Developing Local Markets Fund's use of currency-related transactions involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict currency movements, and the Fund's returns could be reduced as a result. A decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of securities held by the Developing Local Markets Fund that are denominated in those currencies.

The securities markets of developing or emerging countries tend to be less liquid, are especially subject to greater price volatility, have a smaller market capitalization, have less government regulation and may not be subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial, and other reporting requirements as securities issued in more developed countries.

The Developing Local Markets Fund believes that its investment strategies with respect to foreign currencies will generate qualifying income under current U.S. federal income tax law. However, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Treasury Department will not issue regulations in the future (possibly with retroactive effect) that would treat some or all of the Fund's foreign currency gains as nonqualifying income.

These factors can affect each Fund's performance.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. Effective June 29, 2007, the Funds have adopted FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 has not resulted in a material impact on the Funds' net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures. The Funds file U.S. Federal and various state tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Funds' tax returns remain open for examination for the years ended December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2007.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on each Fund's financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
Lord Abbett Global Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Lord Abbett Global Fund, Inc. (the "Funds") comprising Equity Series and Lord Abbett Developing Local Markets Fund (formerly Income Series) as of December 31, 2007, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant e stimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting the Lord Abbett Global Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, 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 periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Approval of Advisory Contracts

At meetings held on December 12 and 13, 2007, the Board, including all of the Directors who are not interested persons of either Fund or Lord Abbett, considered whether to approve the continuation of the existing management agreement between each of the Funds and Lord Abbett. In addition to the materials the Board had reviewed throughout the course of the year, the Board received materials relating to the management agreement before the meeting and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. The Board also took into account its familiarity with Lord Abbett gained through its previous meetings and discussions, and the examination of the portfolio management teams conducted by members of the Contracts Committee during the year.

The materials received by the Board as to each Fund included, but were not limited to, (1) information provided by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. regarding the investment performance of the Fund compared to the investment performance of one or more groups of funds with substantially similar investment objectives (the "performance universe") and to the investment performance of an appropriate securities index (if such an index existed), for various time periods each ended September 30, 2007, (2) information on the effective management fee rates and expense ratios for one or more groups of funds with similar objectives and of similar size (the "peer expense group"), (3) sales and redemption information for the Fund, (4) information regarding Lord Abbett's financial condition, (5) an analysis of the relative profitability of the management agreement to Lord Abbett, (6) information regarding the distribution arrangements of the Fund, and (7) i nformation regarding the personnel and other resources devoted by Lord Abbett to managing the Fund.

The specific considerations for each Fund are set forth below.

Global Equity Fund

Investment Management Services Generally. The Board considered the investment management services provided by Lord Abbett to the Fund, including investment research, portfolio management, and trading, and Lord Abbett's commitment to compliance with all relevant legal requirements. The Board also observed that Lord Abbett was solely engaged in the investment management business and accordingly did not experience the conflicts of interest resulting from being engaged in other lines of business. The Board noted that Lord Abbett did not use brokerage commissions to purchase third-party research. The Board considered the investment advisory services provided by Lord Abbett to other clients, the fees charged for the services, and the differences in the nature of the services provided to the Fund and other Lord Abbett Funds, on the one hand, and the services provided to other clients, on the other.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board reviewed the Fund's investment performance in relation to that of the performance universe, both in terms of total return and in terms of other statistical measures. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the nine-month, one-year, three-year and five-year periods, and in the fifth quintile for the ten-year period. The Board also observed that the Fund's investment performance was above that of the Lipper Global Large-Cap Core Index for the nine-month, three-year, and five-year periods and below that of the Index for the one-year and ten-year periods.

Lord Abbett's Personnel and Methods. The Board considered the qualifications of the personnel providing investment management services to the Fund, in light of its investment

59

objective and discipline. Among other things, the Board considered the size, experience, and turnover rates of Lord Abbett's investment management staff, Lord Abbett's investment methodology and philosophy, and Lord Abbett's approach to recruiting, training, and retaining investment management personnel. The Board determined that Lord Abbett had the expertise and resources to manage the Fund effectively.

Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board considered the nature, quality, costs, and extent of compliance, administrative, and other services performed by Lord Abbett and Lord Abbett Distributor and the nature and extent of Lord Abbett's supervision of third party service providers, including the Fund's transfer agent and custodian.

Expenses. The Board considered the expense levels of the Fund and the expense levels of the peer expense group. It also considered the amount and nature of the fees paid by shareholders. The Board noted that it and Lord Abbett had agreed to an expense reimbursement agreement that limited the total expense ratio of Class A to not more than 1.60%, the total expense ratios of Class B and Class C to not more than 2.25%, the total expense ratio of Class F to not more than 1.35%, the total expense ratio of Class I to not more than 1.25%, the total expense ratio of Class P to not more than 1.70%, the total expense ratio of Class R2 to not more than 1.85%, and the total expense ratio of Class R3 to not more than 1.75%, and that Lord Abbett proposed to enter into a new expense reimbursement agreement with the same terms. The Board observed that the contractual and actual m anagement and administrative services fees were approximately eight basis points below the median of the peer group. The Board observed that at September 30, 2007 the total expense ratio of Class A was approximately one basis points below the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class B and Class C were approximately two basis points above the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class F was approximately six basis points below the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class I was approximately twenty basis points above the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class R2 was approximately fifteen basis points above the median of the peer group, and the total expense ratio of Class R3 was approximately five basis points above the median of the peer group. The Board also observed that the Fund continued to have a relatively high level of transfer agent and shareholder servicing costs, due to its relatively small average account size.

Profitability. The Board considered the level of Lord Abbett's profits in managing the Fund, including a review of Lord Abbett's methodology for allocating its costs to its management of the Fund. The Board concluded that the allocation methodology had a reasonable basis and was appropriate. It considered the profits realized by Lord Abbett in connection with the operation of the Fund and whether the amount of profit was fair for the management of the Fund. The Board also considered the profits realized from other businesses of Lord Abbett, which may benefit from or be related to the Fund's business. The Board considered Lord Abbett's profit margins in comparison with available industry data, both accounting for and ignoring marketing and distribution expenses, and how those profit margins could affect Lord Abbett's ability to recruit and retain investment personn el. The Board recognized that Lord Abbett's profitability was a factor in enabling it to attract and retain qualified investment management personnel to provide services to the Fund. The Board noted that Lord Abbett's profitability had increased in recent years, in part due to an increase in assets under management, but concluded that Lord Abbett's profitability overall and as to the Fund was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there had been any economies of scale in managing the Fund, whether the Fund had appropriately benefited from any such economies of

60

scale, and whether there was potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board concluded that the existing advisory fee schedule, with its breakpoints in the level of the advisory fee, adequately addressed any economies of scale in managing the Fund.

Other Benefits to Lord Abbett. The Board considered the character and amount of fees paid by the Fund and the Fund's shareholders to Lord Abbett and Lord Abbett Distributor for services other than investment advisory services. The Board also considered the revenues and profitability of Lord Abbett's investment advisory business apart from its mutual fund business, and the intangible benefits enjoyed by Lord Abbett by virtue of its relationship with the Fund. The Board observed that Lord Abbett Distributor receives 12b-1 fees from certain of the Lord Abbett Funds as to shares held in accounts for which there is no other broker of record, may retain a portion of the 12b-1 fees from the Funds, and receives a portion of the sales charges on sales and redemptions of some classes of shares. In addition, the Board observed that Lord Abbett accrues certain benefits for it s business of providing investment advice to clients other than the Lord Abbett Funds, but that that business also benefits the Funds. The Board also noted that Lord Abbett, as disclosed in the prospectuses of the Funds, has entered into revenue sharing arrangements with certain entities that distribute shares of the Funds.

Alternative Arrangements. The Board considered whether, instead of approving the continuation of the management agreement, it might be in the best interests of the Fund to implement one or more alternative arrangements, such as continuing to employ Lord Abbett, but on different terms. The Board noted that Lord Abbett was considering recommending changes to the operations of the Fund, including considering recommending that it be restructured to invest in other Lord Abbett Funds, and that the Board would have the opportunity to consider any recommendation in 2008.

In considering whether to approve the continuation of the management agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as paramount or controlling. This summary does not discuss in detail all matters considered. After considering all of the relevant factors, the Board unanimously found that continuation of the existing management agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and voted unanimously to approve the continuation of the management agreement.

Developing Local Markets Fund

Investment Management Services Generally. The Board considered the investment management services provided by Lord Abbett to the Fund, including investment research, portfolio management, and trading, and Lord Abbett's commitment to compliance with all relevant legal requirements. The Board also observed that Lord Abbett was solely engaged in the investment management business and accordingly did not experience the conflicts of interest resulting from being engaged in other lines of business. The Board noted that Lord Abbett did not use brokerage commissions to purchase third-party research. The Board considered the investment advisory services provided by Lord Abbett to other clients, the fees charged for the services, and the differences in the nature of the services provided to the Fund and other Lord Abbett Funds, on the one hand, and the services provided to other clients, on the other.

Investment Performance and Compliance. The Board reviewed the Fund's investment performance in relation to that of the performance universe, both in terms of total return and in terms of other statistical measures. The Board noted that shareholders had approved a change in the Fund's current investment objective from seeking high current income consistent with reasonable risk, with capital appreciation as a secondary consideration, to seeking high total

61

return, and a change in the Fund's principal investment strategy from investing primarily in high-quality and investment grade debt securities of domestic and foreign companies, to investing primarily in currencies of, and in fixed income instruments denominated in currencies of, developing markets. The Board noted that these changes had resulted in Lipper changing the classification of the Fund from global income to international income. Accordingly, the Board considered the operations of the Fund in relationship to two different performance universes and expense peer groups, the first being global income and the second being international income. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of the first performance universe for the nine-month, one-year, and five-year periods and in the fifth quintile for the three-year and ten-year periods. The Board also observed that the Fund's investment performance was below that of the Lipper Global Income Fund Index for each of those periods. The Board observed that the investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of the second performance universe and below that of the Lipper International Income Fund Index for each of those periods.

Lord Abbett's Personnel and Methods. The Board considered the qualifications of the personnel providing investment management services to the Fund, in light of its investment objective and discipline. Among other things, the Board considered the size, experience, and turnover rates of Lord Abbett's investment management staff, Lord Abbett's investment methodology and philosophy, and Lord Abbett's approach to recruiting, training, and retaining investment management personnel. The Board determined that Lord Abbett had the expertise and resources to manage the Fund effectively.

Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board considered the nature, quality, costs, and extent of compliance, administrative, and other services performed by Lord Abbett and Lord Abbett Distributor and the nature and extent of Lord Abbett's supervision of third party service providers, including the Fund's transfer agent and custodian.

Expenses. The Board considered the expense levels of the Fund and the expense levels of peer expense groups, the first peer group consisting of global income funds and the second consisting of international income funds. It also considered the amount and nature of the fees paid by shareholders. The Board observed that Lord Abbett had implemented an expense reimbursement agreement for the Fund that limited the total expense ratio of Class A to not more than 1.30%, the total expense ratios of Class B and Class C to not more than 1.95%, the total expense ratio of Class P to not more than 1.40%, and the total expense ratio of Class I to not more than 0.95%, and that the Board and Lord Abbett had agreed to a new expense reimbursement agreement with the same terms. The Board observed that the contractual and actual management and administrative services fees were approx imately two basis points below the median of the peer group. The Board observed that the total expense ratio of Class A was approximately five basis points above the median of the peer group, the total expense ratios of Class B and Class C were approximately the same as the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class P was approximately twenty-one basis points above the median of the peer group, and the total expense ratio of Class I was approximately five basis points above the median of the peer group. As to the second peer group, the Board observed that the contractual and actual management and administrative services fees were approximately eleven basis points below the median of the peer group. The Board observed that the total expense ratio of Class A was approximately six basis points above the median of the peer group, the total expense ratios of Class B and Class C were approximately the same as the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class F was approximately two bas is points below the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class I was approximately one basis point below the median of the peer group, the total

62

expense ratio of Class P was approximately four basis points below the median of the peer group, the total expense ratio of Class R2 was approximately eleven basis points above the median of the peer group, and the total expense ratio of Class R3 was approximately one basis point above the median of the peer group.

Profitability. The Board considered the level of Lord Abbett's profits in managing the Fund, including a review of Lord Abbett's methodology for allocating its costs to its management of the Fund. The Board concluded that the allocation methodology had a reasonable basis and was appropriate. It considered the profits realized by Lord Abbett in connection with the operation of the Fund and whether the amount of profit was fair for the management of the Fund. The Board also considered the profits realized from other businesses of Lord Abbett, which may benefit from or be related to the Fund's business. The Board considered Lord Abbett's profit margins in comparison with available industry data, both accounting for and ignoring marketing and distribution expenses, and how those profit margins could affect Lord Abbett's ability to recruit and retain investment personn el. The Board recognized that Lord Abbett's profitability was a factor in enabling it to attract and retain qualified investment management personnel to provide services to the Fund. The Board noted that Lord Abbett's profitability had increased in recent years, in part due to an increase in assets under management, but concluded that Lord Abbett's profitability overall and as to the Fund was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there had been any economies of scale in managing the Fund, whether the Fund had appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there was potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board concluded that the existing advisory fee schedule, with its breakpoints in the level of the advisory fee, adequately addressed any economies of scale in managing the Fund.

Other Benefits to Lord Abbett. The Board considered the character and amount of fees paid by the Fund and the Fund's shareholders to Lord Abbett and Lord Abbett Distributor for services other than investment advisory services. The Board also considered the revenues and profitability of Lord Abbett's investment advisory business apart from its mutual fund business, and the intangible benefits enjoyed by Lord Abbett by virtue of its relationship with the Fund. The Board observed that Lord Abbett Distributor receives 12b-1 fees from certain of the Lord Abbett Funds as to shares held in accounts for which there is no other broker of record, may retain a portion of the 12b-1 fees from the Funds, and receives a portion of the sales charges on sales and redemptions of some classes of shares. The Board observed that, in addition, Lord Abbett accrues certain benefits for i ts business of providing investment advice to clients other than the Lord Abbett Funds, but that that business also benefits the Funds. The Board also noted that Lord Abbett, as disclosed in the prospectuses of the Funds, has entered into revenue sharing arrangements with certain entities that distribute shares of the Funds.

Alternative Arrangements. The Board considered whether, instead of approving the continuation of the management agreement, it might be in the best interests of the Fund to implement one or more alternative arrangements, such as continuing to employ Lord Abbett, but on different terms.

In considering whether to approve the continuation of the management agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as paramount or controlling. This summary does not discuss in detail all matters considered. After considering all of the relevant factors, the Board unanimously found that continuation of the existing management agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and voted unanimously to approve the continuation of the management agreement.
