What types of risks are associated with investments made through Lord Abbett?

Investing through Lord Abbett, like any investment, carries a variety of risks that investors should be aware of before making decisions. One of the primary risks is market risk, which refers to the potential for the value of investments to fluctuate due to changes in market conditions. Economic factors, interest rates, and geopolitical events can all influence the performance of investments, potentially leading to losses. Another important risk is credit risk, which is associated with fixed income investments. This risk arises from the possibility that issuers of bonds or debt instruments may fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating can also negatively impact the value of these investments. Liquidity risk is another concern; it relates to the ability to sell an investment without significantly affecting its price. In certain market conditions, investors may find it difficult to sell specific securities, which could lead to losses. Furthermore, there are sector-specific risks depending on the types of investments Lord Abbett manages. For instance, investments in the technology sector may be subject to rapid changes and volatility, while real estate investments might be impacted by changes in property values. Investors should keep these risks in mind and consider their own risk tolerance and investment objectives.
