About SDHFX

Lord Abbett Short Duration High Income Municipal Bond Fund Class F is an actively managed municipal bond mutual fund designed to provide a high level of income that is exempt from federal income tax. The strategy focuses on shorter-duration, higher-yielding municipal securities, balancing income generation with interest-rate sensitivity management. The portfolio spans a broad set of revenue-backed sectors—including healthcare, transportation, housing, education, special tax, and water and sewer—reflecting diversified exposure to essential-service and project-driven issuers. It invests across multiple states and U.S. territories, with notable allocations to large municipal markets such as New York and California, alongside specialized issuers like industrial development authorities. The fund maintains a large, granular holdings list and pays distributions monthly, aligning with income-oriented objectives. Launched in 2015, it reports net assets in the billions and a competitively managed expense structure for its share class. By concentrating on short duration within the high income municipal space, the fund serves investors seeking federally tax-exempt cash flow while targeting credit-driven opportunities in the municipal market’s lower- to mid-tier quality spectrum.
