About LFVAX
The Lord Abbett Focused Small Cap Value Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund that pursues long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the stocks of small U.S. companies. This fund aims to identify undervalued small-cap businesses—typically those with market capitalizations on the lower end of the U.S. equity spectrum—and focuses on companies with the potential for appreciation as their businesses grow or improve their financial profiles. The investment approach is rooted in fundamental research, seeking companies trading below their intrinsic value, often in sectors spanning financials, industrials, health care, and consumer goods. The fund benchmarks its performance against key small-cap and value indices, including the Russell 2000 Value Index and the S&P 500, positioning it as a vehicle for investors looking to tap into the growth prospects and unique dynamics of smaller, value-oriented U.S. firms. With an expense ratio that is higher than the category average and a Class A share structure, the fund includes front-end sales charges and ongoing distribution fees. Its role in the financial market is to provide diversified exposure to the small-cap value segment, which historically demonstrates different performance patterns compared to large-cap or growth-focused funds.
