“The Lord Abbett Short Duration Income Fund is very much a case of right time, right product. In an era of volatility and uncertainty surrounding the trajectory of US rates, the solution provides U/HNW clients in Asia-Pacific diversified exposure to high quality short duration credit. This has been the ideal product for private bank investment teams seeking to get their clients out of cash and gradually taking more risk,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker and head of the Judging Panel for the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025.

“But most importantly, the Lord Abbett Short Duration Income Fund is backed up by a robust research and credit selection process that avoids falling into the trap of being guided by a few top-down macro calls. Instead, the portfolio management team harnesses its risk budget to deliver market-leading credit research and single-line, cash bond selections capable of delivering long-term outperformance.

“Asian Private Banker is honoured to present Lord Abbett with the award for Best Fund Provider – Global Bond – Short Term, a richly-deserved accolade and recognition of the fund house’s dedicated regional wealth team.”
