Lord Abbett Affiliated Fund Class R6 (LAFVX)

Overview

The fund is a financial vehicle designed primarily for investing in equity securities of large companies within the United States. Notably, it commits at least 80% of its net assets, in addition to any borrowed funds for investment purposes, to acquire shares in large-cap companies. For the purposes of this fund, a 'large company' is one whose market capitalization at the time of purchase is within the same range as those listed in the Russell 1000® Index. This investment strategy targets entities that not only pay dividends but also show promise for capital appreciation. The selection of investments is carefully managed by a dedicated portfolio management team, which focuses on finding U.S. companies that meet these criteria.
