The portfolio is actively managed, drawing on a seasoned research and investment team to navigate changing market conditions. Monthly dividend payments and a yield near 4.9% make the fund appealing for income-focused investors. Launched in 1996, Lord Abbett Income Fund Class C is widely regarded for its blended approach, balancing credit quality and income generation.
