Lord Abbett Funds Push for Monthly Share Repurchase Spree

Published Date: 7/7/2025

Notice

Summary

Lord Abbett and its related funds want permission to buy back their shares more often—monthly instead of less frequently—so they can repurchase between 5% and 25% of shares every three months. This change affects investors in these funds and could make it easier for the funds to manage their shares and cash flow. If no one objects by July 28, 2025, the SEC will likely approve this new plan.
