"The Lord Abbett Short Duration Income Fund returned 1.59% in 3Q25, outperforming its benchmark. To capitalize on spread compression, the fund rotated capital from corporate credit into higher-rated securitized assets like AAA CMBS and CLOs."
During 3Q25, the Lord Abbett Short Duration Income Fund (Class I) returned 1.59%, outperforming its benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index, which returned 1.46%. Stronger fixed income markets were driven by falling short-end yields after the Federal Reserve's September rate cut. In response to tightening credit spreads, the portfolio rotated away from corporate credit into high-quality securitized sectors, including AAA-rated conduit CMBS and short-average-life CLOs. While the manager views the current yield environment as a highly compelling entry point for short-to-intermediate bonds, they remain watchful of geopolitical, trade, and policy uncertainties.
