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 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 (November 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015).

 

Actual Expenses

For each class of each Fund, the first line of the table on the following page 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 11/1/14 – 4/30/15” 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 page 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.

Alpha Strategy Fund

 

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.

1. ORGANIZATION  

 

Lord Abbett Securities Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 26, 1993.

 

The Trust currently consists of nine funds. This report covers the following seven funds (separately, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and their respective active share classes during the six months ended April 30, 2015:

 

Funds  Share Classes
Lord Abbett Alpha Strategy Fund (“Alpha Strategy Fund”)  A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3
Lord Abbett Fundamental Equity Fund (“Fundamental Equity Fund”)  A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3
Lord Abbett Growth Leaders Fund (“Growth Leaders Fund”)  A, B, C, F, I, R2 and R3
Lord Abbett International Core Equity Fund (“International Core Equity Fund”)  A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3
Lord Abbett International Dividend Income Fund (“International Dividend Income Fund”)  A, C, F, I, R2 and R3
Lord Abbett International Opportunities Fund (“International Opportunities Fund”)  A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3
Lord Abbett Value Opportunities Fund (“Value Opportunities Fund”)  A, B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3

 

The Funds no longer issue Class B shares for purchase. The Funds’ Class P shares are closed to substantially all investors, with certain exceptions as set forth in the Funds’ prospectus. As of the date of this report, Alpha Strategy Fund has not issued Class P shares.

 

Each of Alpha Strategy Fund’s, International Core Equity Fund’s, International Opportunities Fund’s, and Value Opportunities Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Alpha Strategy Fund invests principally in other funds (“Underlying Funds”) managed by Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”). Fundamental Equity Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and income without excessive fluctuations in market value. Growth Leaders Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. International Dividend Income Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of 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 Class B, C, F, I, P, R2 and R3 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); 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 automatically convert to Class A shares on the 25th day of the month (or, if the 25th day is not a business day, the next business day thereafter) following the eighth anniversary of the day 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 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 ValuationUnder procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), 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 actively 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 reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Each Fund 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. 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. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using daily forward exchange rates. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their NAV each business day at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
   
  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 related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values 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 employs 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.
   
  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 and other income on the Statements of Operations. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with 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.

 

112

 

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

 

(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.
   
  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 October 31, 2011 through October 31, 2014. The statutes of limitations on the Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
   
(e) ExpensesExpenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual fund are generally allocated to the Funds within the Trust 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. 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 TransactionsThe books and records of each Fund 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 daily to reflect current exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on each Fund’s Statement of Operations. The resultant exchange gains and losses upon settlement of such transactions are included in Net realized gain (loss) on 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.
   
  The Funds use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
   
(g) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange ContractsInternational Core Equity Fund, International Dividend Income Fund and International Opportunities Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings, or gain or reduce exposure to foreign currency solely for investment purposes. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The contracts are valued daily at forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on 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 (loss) on foreign currency related transactions on each Fund’s Statement of Operations.

 

113

 

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

 

(h) Futures ContractsEach Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts to enhance returns, to attempt to 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.
   
(i) Repurchase AgreementsEach 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 fair value of these securities has declined, a Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities.
   
(j) When-Issued or Forward TransactionsEach Fund may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or forward basis. When-issued or forward 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 fair 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 custodian 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 fair value of the security in determining its NAV. 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) 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

 

114

 

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

 

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 of inputs 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 April 30, 2015 and, if applicable, Level 1/Level 2 transfers and Level 3 rollforwards for the six months 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. All transfers between different levels within the three-tier hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. 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 Fee

The Trust has a management agreement with Lord Abbett, pursuant to which Lord Abbett supplies each Fund with investment management services and executive and other personnel, provides office space and pays for ordinary and necessary office and clerical expenses relating to research and statistical work and supervision of each Fund’s investment portfolio.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, the effective management fee, net of any applicable waivers, was based on each Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annualized rates:

 

  Net Effective
Management Fee
Alpha Strategy Fund .00%(1)
Fundamental Equity Fund .52%(2)
Growth Leaders Fund .42%(3)
International Core Equity Fund .45%(4)
International Dividend Income Fund .57%(4)

In addition, Lord Abbett provides certain administrative services to each Fund pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement in return for a fee at an annual rate of .04% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Alpha Strategy Fund does not pay such fee.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2015 and continuing through February 29, 2016, Lord Abbett has contractually agreed to waive Growth Leaders Fund’s fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total net annual operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, to an annual rate of .60%.

 

For the twelve month period through February 28, 2015, Lord Abbett had contractually agreed to waive International Core Equity Fund’s fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total net annual operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, to an annual rate of .77%. Effective March 1, 2015 and continuing through February 29, 2016, the annualized rate for Classes A, B, C, P, R2, and R3 was increased to .87% and the annual rate for Classes F and I remained at .77%.

 

For the twelve month period through February 28, 2015, Lord Abbett had contractually agreed to waive International Dividend Income Fund’s fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total net annual operating expenses, excluding 12b-1 fees, to an annual rate of .77%. Effective March 1, 2015 and continuing through February 29, 2016, the annualized rate for Classes A, C, R2, and R3 was increased to .87% and the annual rate for Classes F and I was increased to .81%.

 

All contractual fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreements between the Funds and Lord Abbett may be terminated only upon the approval of the Funds’ Board.

 

Alpha Strategy Fund has entered into a Servicing Arrangement with the Underlying Funds in which it invests, pursuant to which each Underlying Fund will pay a portion of the expenses (excluding management fees and distribution and service fees) of Alpha Strategy Fund in proportion to the average daily value of total Underlying Fund shares owned by Alpha Strategy Fund. The expenses assumed by the Underlying Funds are reflected in Expenses assumed by Underlying Funds in Alpha Strategy Fund’s Statement of Operations and Receivables from affiliates on Alpha Strategy Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

In addition, Fundamental Equity Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, International Core Equity Fund, International Dividend Income Fund, International Opportunities Fund, and Value Opportunities Fund, along with certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”), have entered into a Servicing Arrangement with certain “Fund of Funds” managed by Lord Abbett, pursuant to which each Underlying Fund pays a portion of the expenses (excluding management

fees and distribution and service fees) of each Fund of Funds in proportion to the average daily value of the Underlying Fund shares owned by each Fund of Funds. Amounts paid pursuant to the Servicing Arrangement, if applicable, are included in Subsidy expense of each Fund’s Statement of Operations and Payable to affiliates on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

As of April 30, 2015, the percentages of Fundamental Equity Fund’s, Growth Leaders Fund’s, International Core Equity Fund’s, International Dividend Income Fund’s, International Opportunities Fund’s and Value Opportunities Fund’s outstanding shares owned by each Fund of Funds were as follows:

4. DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS  

 

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for International Dividend Income Fund and annually for Alpha Strategy Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, International Core Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund and Value Opportunities Fund. 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 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 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.

6. DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES  

 

International Core Equity Fund, International Dividend Income Fund and International Opportunities Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the six months ended April 30, 2015 (as described in note 2(g)). A forward foreign currency exchange contract reduces each Fund’s exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will deliver (or settle in cash) and increases its exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will receive (or settle in cash) for the duration of the contract. Each Fund’s use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict currency movements, and each Fund’s returns could be reduced as a result. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the

 

120

 

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

 

case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Each Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

7. DISCLOSURES ABOUT OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES  

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). These disclosure requirements are intended to help better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund's financial position. In addition, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"), specifying which transactions are subject to disclosures about offsetting.

 

The following tables illustrate gross and net information about recognized assets and liabilities eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities; and disclose such amounts subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement, by 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 the Funds and the applicable counterparty:

8. TRUSTEES’ REMUNERATION  

 

The Trust’s officers and a Trustee, who are associated with Lord Abbett, do not receive any compensation from the Trust for serving in such capacities. Independent Trustees’ 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 Trustees under which Independent Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of Trustees’ 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 Trustees’ fees on the Statements of Operations and in Trustees’ 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 Trust 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  

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Funds and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Participating Funds”) participated in a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”). The Facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to satisfy redemptions. The Participating Funds are subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of Fund assets (if Fund assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, or $350 million based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings. Each Participating Fund bears its ratable share of the $525,000 annual Facility fee based on the maximum amount the Fund can borrow under the Facility. This amount is included for each Fund in Other expenses in the Statements of Operations. Any borrowings under the Facility will incur interest at current market rates as set forth in the credit agreement.

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Funds did not utilize the Facility.

 

11. CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT  

 

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

13. INVESTMENT RISKS  

 

Each Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with equity investing. The value of the Funds’ investments will fluctuate in response to movements in the equity securities markets in general and to the changing prospects of individual companies in which the Funds invest. If a Fund’s assessment of a company’s value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds, even in a rising market.

 

Large company stocks, in which Fundamental Equity Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, International Core Equity Fund and International Dividend Income Fund invest, may perform differently than the market as a whole and other types of stocks, such as small company stocks. Small and mid-sized company stocks, in which Alpha Strategy Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, International Core Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund and Value Opportunities Fund invest, may be less able to weather economic shifts or other adverse developments than those of larger, more established companies.

 

In general, Growth Leaders Fund employs a growth investing style and Fundamental Equity Fund, International Dividend Income Fund and Value Opportunities Fund employ a value investing style. Growth stocks generally are more volatile than value stocks. The price of value stocks may lag the market for long periods of time.

 

International Core Equity Fund, International Dividend Income Fund and International Opportunities Fund are subject to the risks of investing in foreign securities. Foreign securities may pose greater risks than domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations and higher transaction costs. Foreign investments also may be affected by changes in currency rates or currency controls. These risks are generally greater for securities issued by companies in emerging market companies. Similarly, due to their investments in multinational and foreign companies, Alpha Strategy Fund, Fundamental Equity Fund, Growth Leaders Fund, and Value Opportunities Fund, may similarly experience increased market, liquidity, currency, political, information and other risks.

 

International Dividend Income Fund is subject to the risks of investing in dividend paying stocks. Dividend paying stocks may be sensitive to changes in market interest rates, and the prices of such stocks may decline as rates rise. International Dividend Income Fund may be subject to the volatility of stocks that have high dividends per share due to recent decreases in their share prices.

 

Alpha Strategy Fund’s investments are concentrated in the Underlying Funds and, as a result, the Fund’s performance is directly related to their performance and subject to their risks.

 

Each Fund is subject to the risks associated with derivatives, which may be different from and greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other investments.

 

These factors can affect each Fund’s performance.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(concluded)

 

15. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT  

 

In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014–11 Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures to improve the financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into repurchase agreements or securities lending transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

Approval of Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees of the Company, including all of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Company or of Lord Abbett, annually considers whether to approve the continuation of the existing management agreement between each Fund and Lord Abbett. In connection with its most recent approval, the Board reviewed materials relating specifically to the management agreement, as well as numerous materials received throughout the course of the year, including information about each Fund’s investment performance compared to the performance of its benchmark. Before making its decision as to each Fund, the Board had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information, taking into account its familiarity with Lord Abbett gained through its meetings and discussions. These meetings and discussions included the examination of the portfolio management teams conducted by members of the Contract Committee, the deliberations of the Contract Committee, and discussions between the Contract Committee and Lord Abbett’s management.

 

The materials received by the Board as to each Fund included, but were not limited to: (1) information provided by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) regarding the investment performance of the Fund compared to the investment performance of a group of funds in the same Morningstar investment category (the “performance peer group”) and the investment performance of one or more appropriate benchmarks; (2) information provided by Morningstar regarding the expense ratios, contractual and effective management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund and one or more groups of funds in the same Morningstar category, with the same share classes and operational characteristics, including asset size (the “expense peer group”); (3) certain supplemental investment performance information provided by Lord Abbett; (4) information provided by Lord Abbett on the projected expense ratios, management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund; (5) sales and redemption information for the Fund; (6) information regarding Lord Abbett’s financial condition; (7) an analysis of the relative profitability of the management agreement to Lord Abbett; (8) information provided by Lord Abbett regarding the investment management fees Lord Abbett receives from its other advisory clients maintaining accounts with a similar investment strategy as the Fund; (9) information regarding the distribution arrangements of the Fund; and (10) information regarding the personnel and other resources devoted by Lord Abbett to managing the Fund.

 

Investment Management Services Generally. The Board considered the investment management services provided by Lord Abbett to each Fund, including investment research, portfolio management, and trading, and Lord Abbett’s commitment to compliance with all applicable 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 that may result from being engaged in other lines of business. 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. The Board reviewed each Fund’s investment performance in relation to that of the performance peer group, in each case as of various periods ended August 31, 2014. As to each of Alpha Strategy Fund and Fundamental Equity Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was below the median of the performance peer group for the one-year, three-year, and five-year periods and above the median for the ten-year period. As to Growth Leaders Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-year and three-year periods. As to each of International

 

143

 

Approval of Advisory Contract (continued)

 

Core Equity Fund and Value Opportunities Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was below the median of the performance peer group for each of the periods. As to International Dividend Income Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one-year and five-year periods and below the median for the three-year period. As to International Opportunities Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was below the median of the performance peer group for the one-year, five-year, and ten-year periods and at the median for the three-year period.

 

Lord Abbett’s Personnel and Methods. The Board considered the qualifications of the personnel providing investment management services to each Fund, in light of its investment objective and discipline. Among other things, the Board considered the size, experience, and turnover 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.

 

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 the Distributor and the nature and extent of Lord Abbett’s supervision of third party service providers, including each Fund’s transfer agent and custodian.

 

Expenses. The Board considered the expense levels of each Fund and the expense levels of one or more corresponding expense peer groups. It also considered the projected expense levels of each Fund and how those levels would relate to those of the expense peer group and the amount and nature of the fees paid by shareholders. As to Alpha Strategy Fund, the Board observed that the overall expense ratio was above the median of the expense peer group. As to each of Fundamental Equity Fund and Value Opportunities Fund, the Board observed that the overall expense ratio was below the median of the expense peer group. As to each of Growth Leaders Fund, International Core Equity Fund, International Dividend Income Fund, and International Opportunities Fund, the Board observed that the overall expense ratio was well below the median of the expense peer group.

 

Profitability. As to each Fund, 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 any profits realized by Lord Abbett in connection with the operation of each Fund, including the fee that Lord Abbett receives from the Fund for providing administrative services to 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 business segments 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 personnel. 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 concluded that Lord Abbett’s profitability as to each Fund was not excessive.

 

Economies of Scale. As to each Fund, 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 each existing management fee schedule, with its breakpoint or breakpoints in the level of the management fee, adequately addressed any economies of scale in managing the applicable Fund.

 

144

 

Approval of Advisory Contract (concluded)

 

Other Benefits to Lord Abbett. As to each Fund, the Board considered the character and amount of fees paid by the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders to Lord Abbett and the 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 the 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 it receives, 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 its business of providing investment advice to clients other than the Lord Abbett Funds, but 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. As to each Fund, the Board considered whether, instead of approving 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. After considering all of the relevant factors, the Board unanimously found that continuation of the existing management agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders and voted unanimously to approve the continuation of the management agreements. 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.

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 the Funds 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 (November 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015).

 

Actual Expenses

For each class of each Fund, the first line of the tables 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 11/1/14 – 4/30/15” 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 tables 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 each 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 (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.

1.ORGANIZATION  

 

Lord Abbett Securities Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 26, 1993. The Trust currently consists of nine funds. This report covers the following two funds (separately, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and their respective classes: Lord Abbett Micro-Cap Growth Fund (“Micro Cap Growth Fund”), Class A and I shares and Lord Abbett Micro-Cap Value Fund (“Micro Cap Value Fund”), Class A and I shares. The investment objective of both Micro Cap Growth Fund and Micro Cap Value Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

 

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. A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may apply to certain redemptions of 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). Class I shares are not subject to any sales charges.

 

The preparation of the 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–Under procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), the Funds’ 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 actively 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 reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Each Fund 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.
  
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 related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values 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 employs techniques such as reviewing related market activity,

 

19

 

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

 

 reviewing inputs and assumptions, and retrospectively comparing prices of subsequent purchases and sales transactions to fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee.
  
Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair 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 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with 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)Income 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 income tax provision is required.
  
 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 October 31, 2011 through October 31, 2014. The statutes of limitations on the Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
  
(e) Expenses–Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual fund are generally allocated to the Funds within the Trust on a pro rata basis by relative net assets. Expenses incurred by the Funds, 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 shares bear class-specific expenses and fees relating to the Funds’ 12b-1 Distribution Plan.
  
(f)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 fair value of these securities has declined, a Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities.
  
(g)Fair Value Measurements–Fair 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 of inputs 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 as of April 30, 2015 and, if applicable, Level 1/Level 2 transfers and Level 3 rollforwards for the six months 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. All transfers between different levels within the three-tier hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. 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 Fee

The Trust has a management agreement with Lord Abbett, pursuant to which Lord Abbett supplies each Fund with investment management services and executive and other personnel, provides office space and pays for ordinary and necessary office and clerical expenses relating to research and statistical work and supervision of each Fund’s investment portfolio.

 

The management fee is based on each Fund’s average daily net assets at an annual rate of 1.50%, which was the Funds’ annualized effective management fee rate for the six months ended April 30, 2015.

 

In addition, Lord Abbett provides certain administrative services to each Fund pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement in return for a fee at an annual rate of ..04% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

Each Fund, along with certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”), has entered into a Servicing Arrangement with Lord Abbett Alpha Strategy Fund (“Alpha Strategy Fund”) of the Trust, pursuant to which each Underlying Fund pays a portion of the expenses (excluding management fees and distribution and service fees) of Alpha Strategy Fund in proportion to the average daily value of the Underlying Fund shares owned by Alpha Strategy Fund. Amounts paid pursuant to the Servicing Arrangement are included in Subsidy expense on each Fund’s Statement of Operations and Payable to affiliate on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

 

As of April 30, 2015, the percentages of Micro Cap Growth Fund’s and Micro Cap Value Fund’s outstanding shares owned by Lord Abbett Alpha Strategy Fund were 75.72% and 77.98%, respectively.

 

12b-1 Distribution Plan

Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan with respect to Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act under which the Board may authorize the payment of ongoing distribution and service fees to Lord Abbett Distributor LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Lord Abbett. During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Board did not authorize such Class A 12b-1 fees.

 

Class I shares do not have a distribution plan.

 

A Trustee and certain of the Trust’s officers have an interest in Lord Abbett.

 

4.DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS  

 

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for each fund. 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 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 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 six months ended April 30, 2015 and fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 was as follows:

 

   Micro Cap Growth Fund   Micro Cap Value Fund 
   Six Months       Six Months     
   Ended       Ended     
   4/30/2015   Year Ended   4/30/2015   Year Ended 
   (unaudited)  10/31/2014   (unaudited)  10/31/2014 
Distributions paid from:                    
Ordinary income  $3,677,493   $26,623,391   $   $ 
Net long-term capital gains   16,488,714    12,468,210    16,710,811    18,796,441 
Total distributions paid  $20,166,207   $39,091,601   $16,710,811   $18,796,441 

 

As of April 30, 2015, the aggregate unrealized security gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

   Micro Cap   Micro Cap 
   Growth Fund   Value Fund 
Tax cost  $130,179,386   $125,318,944 
Gross unrealized gain   37,134,232    38,291,141 
Gross unrealized loss   (3,069,346)   (1,492,801)
Net unrealized security gain  $34,064,886   $36,798,340 

 

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

5.PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS  

 

Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) for the six months ended April 30, 2015 were as follows:

There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities for the six months ended April 30, 2015.

 

6.DISCLOSURES ABOUT OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES  

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). These disclosure requirements are intended to help better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund’s financial position. In addition, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”), specifying which transactions are subject to disclosures about offsetting.

 

The following tables illustrate gross and net information about recognized assets eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities; and disclose such amounts subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement, by 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 the Funds and the applicable counterparty:

 

         Micro Cap Growth Fund 
       Gross Amounts   Net Amounts of 
       Offset in the   Assets Presented 
   Gross Amounts of Statement of Assets   in the Statement of

(a)Collateral disclosed is limited to an amount not to exceed 100% of the net amount of assets presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, for each respective counterparty.
(b)Net amount represents the amount owed to the Fund by the counterparty as of April 30, 2015.

 

7.TRUSTEES’ REMUNERATION  

 

The Trust’s officers and a Trustee, who are associated with Lord Abbett, do not receive any compensation from the Trust for serving in such capacities. Independent Trustees’ 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 Trustees under which Independent Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of Trustees’ 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 Trustees’ fees on the Statements of Operations and in Trustees’ 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.

 

8.EXPENSE REDUCTIONS  

 

The Trust 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.

 

9.LINE OF CREDIT  

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Funds and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Participating Funds”) participated in a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”). The Facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to satisfy redemptions. The Participating Funds are subject to graduated borrowing limits of one-third of Fund assets (if Fund assets are less than $750 million), $250 million, $300 million, or $350 million based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings. Each Participating Fund bears its ratable share of the $525,000 annual Facility fee based on the maximum amount the Fund can borrow under the Facility. This amount is included for each Fund in Other expenses in the Statements of Operations. Any borrowings under the Facility will incur interest at current market rates as set forth in the credit agreement.

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Funds did not utilize the Facility.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)(continued)

 

10.CUSTODIAN AND ACCOUNTING AGENT  

 

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

 

11.INVESTMENT RISKS  

 

Each Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with equity investing, as well as the particular risks associated with micro-cap and growth or value stocks. The value of an investment in each Fund will fluctuate in response to movements in the equity securities market in general and to the changing prospects of individual companies in which the Funds invest. Micro-cap companies may be subject to greater risks and may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions than larger, more established companies. There may be less liquidity in micro-cap company stocks, subjecting them to greater price fluctuations than larger company stocks. In the case of Micro Cap Growth Fund, the growth stocks in which it generally invests may add to the Fund’s volatility. In the case of Micro Cap Value Fund, the prices of value stocks in which it generally invests may lag the stock market for long periods of time if the market fails to recognize the company’s intrinsic worth.

 

These factors can affect each Fund’s performance.

 

12.SUMMARY OF CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

13.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT  

 

In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014–11 Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures to improve the financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into repurchase agreements or securities lending transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

Approval of Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees of the Company, including all of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Company or of Lord Abbett, annually considers whether to approve the continuation of the existing management agreement between each Fund and Lord Abbett. In connection with its most recent approval, the Board reviewed materials relating specifically to the management agreement, as well as numerous materials received throughout the course of the year, including information about each Fund’s investment performance compared to the performance of its benchmark. Before making its decision as to each Fund, the Board had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information, taking into account its familiarity with Lord Abbett gained through its meetings and discussions. These meetings and discussions included the examination of the portfolio management teams conducted by members of the Contract Committee, the deliberations of the Contract Committee, and discussions between the Contract Committee and Lord Abbett’s management.

 

The materials received by the Board as to each Fund included, but were not limited to: (1) information provided by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) regarding the investment performance of the Fund compared to the investment performance of a group of funds in the same Morningstar investment category (the “performance peer group”) and the investment performance of one or more appropriate benchmarks; (2) information provided by Morningstar regarding the expense ratios, contractual and effective management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund and one or more groups of funds in the same Morningstar category, with the same share classes and operational characteristics, including asset size (the “expense peer group”); (3) certain supplemental investment performance information provided by Lord Abbett; (4) information provided by Lord Abbett on the projected expense ratios, management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund; (5) sales and redemption information for the Fund; (6) information regarding Lord Abbett’s financial condition; (7) an analysis of the relative profitability of the management agreement to Lord Abbett; (8) information provided by Lord Abbett regarding the investment management fees Lord Abbett receives from its other advisory clients maintaining accounts with a similar investment strategy as the Fund; (9) information regarding the distribution arrangements of the Fund; and (10) information regarding the personnel and other resources devoted by Lord Abbett to managing the Fund.

 

Investment Management Services Generally. The Board considered the investment management services provided by Lord Abbett to each Fund, including investment research, portfolio management, and trading, and Lord Abbett’s commitment to compliance with all applicable 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 that may result from being engaged in other lines of business. 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. The Board reviewed each Fund’s investment performance in relation to that of the performance peer group, in each case as of various periods ended August 31, 2014. As to Micro Cap Growth Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for each of the periods. As to Micro Cap Value Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median for the one-year, three-year, and ten-year periods and below the median for the five-year period.

 

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

 

28

 

Approval of Advisory Contract (continued)

 

discipline. Among other things, the Board considered the size, experience, and turnover 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.

 

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 the Distributor and the nature and extent of Lord Abbett’s supervision of third party service providers, including each Fund’s transfer agent and custodian.

 

Expenses. The Board considered the expense levels of each Fund and the expense levels of one or more corresponding expense peer groups. It also considered the projected expense levels of each Fund and how those levels would relate to those of the expense peer group and the amount and nature of the fees paid by shareholders. As to each of Micro Cap Growth Fund and Micro Cap Value Fund, the Board observed that the overall expense level was well above the median of the expense peer group.

 

Profitability. As to each Fund, 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 any profits realized by Lord Abbett in connection with the operation of each Fund, including the fee that Lord Abbett receives from the Fund for providing administrative services to 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 business segments 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 personnel. 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 concluded that Lord Abbett’s profitability as to each Fund was not excessive.

 

Economies of Scale. As to each Fund, 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 each existing management fee schedule, with its breakpoint or breakpoints in the level of the management fee, adequately addressed any economies of scale in managing the applicable Fund.

 

Other Benefits to Lord Abbett. As to each Fund, the Board considered the character and amount of fees paid by the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders to Lord Abbett and the 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 the 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 it receives, 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 its business of providing investment advice to clients other than the Lord Abbett Funds, but that business also benefits the Funds. The Board also noted that Lord Abbett, as disclosed in the

 

29

 

Approval of Advisory Contract (concluded)

 

prospectuses of the Funds, has entered into revenue sharing arrangements with certain entities that distribute shares of the Funds. The Board also took into consideration the investment research that Lord Abbett receives as a result of Fund brokerage transactions.

 

Alternative Arrangements. As to each Fund, the Board considered whether, instead of approving 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. After considering all of the relevant factors, the Board unanimously found that continuation of the existing management agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders and voted unanimously to approve the continuation of the management agreements. 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.

Householding

Box 219336, Kansas City, MO 64121.
