About LANSX
The Lord Abbett National Tax Free Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with a high level of interest income that is exempt from federal income tax. Its primary function is to invest at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of U.S. municipal bonds, with a focus on investment grade securities. The fund seeks to balance income generation with reasonable risk, typically maintaining an average effective maturity of approximately 20 years and an effective duration around 8 years. This fund may hold a mix of general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, municipal leases, and various other municipal instruments, including some that may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Managed by a team with deep industry experience, it leverages in-depth credit risk analysis and considers both return potential and risk factors, such as interest rate sensitivity and call protection. The fund pays dividends monthly and is suitable for investors seeking tax-advantaged income, making it an important option for individuals looking to reduce their federal tax liabilities while gaining exposure to the municipal bond market. Launched in 1984, it has established a long track record within the national municipal bond fund category.
