The Registrant’s “Schedule I - Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers” as of the close of the reporting period is included under Item 7 of this Form N-CSR.

The basis for the approval of the investment adviser contract is included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 (a) of this form N-CSR.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2026 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value⁽¹⁾:

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a material amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period in relation to the Fund’s net assets.

Lord Abbett Affiliated Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund was organized in 1934 and was reincorporated under Maryland law on November 26, 1975.

The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and income without excessive fluctuations in market value.

The Fund has eleven active classes of shares: Class A, C, F, F3, I, P, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6, each with different expenses and dividends. A front-end sales charge is normally added to the net asset value (“NAV”) for Class A shares. There is no front-end sales charge in the case of Class C, F, F3, I, P, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 shares, although there may be a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) in certain cases as follows: Class A shares purchased without a sales charge and redeemed before the first day of the month in which the one-year anniversary of the purchase falls (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Fund’s prospectus); and Class C shares redeemed before the first anniversary of purchase. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares on the 25th day of the month (or, if the 25th day is not a business day, the next business day thereafter) following the eighth anniversary of the month on which the purchase order was accepted, provided that the Fund or financial intermediary through which a shareholder purchased Class C shares has records verifying that the Class C shares have been held at least eight years. The Fund’s Class P shares are closed to substantially all new investors, with certain exceptions as set forth in the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

An operating segment is defined in FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available.

The CODM for the Fund is the Investment Committee of Lord Abbett, which represents the highest-level body responsible for evaluating the Fund’s operating performance and making decisions regarding resource allocation. The Investment Committee regularly reviews the Fund’s operating results, including investment performance and financial information, in making strategic and operational decisions.

The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and that the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s Schedule of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statement of Operations, Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.

Fair Value Measurements–Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk – for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement, and is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

A summary of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments as of April 30, 2026 and, if applicable, Level 3 rollforwards for the six months then ended is included in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the three-tier hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund has a management agreement with Lord Abbett, pursuant to which Lord Abbett provides the Fund with investment management services and executive and other personnel, provides office space and pays for ordinary and necessary office and clerical expenses relating to research and statistical work and supervision of the Fund’s investment portfolio. The management fee is accrued daily and payable monthly.

The management fee is based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

For the six months ended April 30, 2026, the effective management fee, net of any applicable waiver, was at an annualized rate of .31% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

In addition, Lord Abbett provides certain administrative services to the Fund pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement in return for a fee at an annual rate of .04% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The fund administration fee is accrued daily and payable monthly.

Lord Abbett voluntarily waived $37,380 of certain fees and expenses during the six months ended April 30, 2026.

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan with respect to Class A, C, F, P, R2, R3 and R4 shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which provides for the payment of ongoing distribution and service fees to Lord Abbett Distributor LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Lord Abbett. The distribution and service fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. The following annual rates have been authorized by the Board pursuant to the plan:

Class F3, Class I, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a distribution plan.

The Distributor received the following commissions on sales of shares of the Fund, after concessions were paid to authorized dealers, during the six months ended April 30, 2026:

The Distributor received CDSCs of $1,006 and $765 for Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2026.

One Director and certain of the Fund’s officers have an interest in Lord Abbett.

As of April 30, 2026, the percentage of the Fund’s outstanding shares owned by Lord Abbett Multi-Balanced Opportunity Fund and Lord Abbett Multi-Asset Income Fund was 2.90% and 0.65%, respectively.

Dividends are paid from net investment income, if any. Capital gain distributions are paid from taxable net realized gains from investments transactions, reduced by allowable capital loss carryforwards, if any. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amounts of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended April 30, 2026 was as follows:

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 was as follows:

Net capital losses recognized by the Fund may be carried forward indefinitely and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. Capital losses incurred that will be carried forward are as follows:

As of April 30, 2026, the tax cost of investments and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for the Fund are shown below. The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable to the tax treatment of certain securities and wash sales.

Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) for the six months ended April 30, 2026 were as follows:

The Fund is permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other Lord Abbett funds or client accounts pursuant to procedures approved by the Board in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act (the “Rule”). Each cross-trade is executed at a fair market price in compliance with provisions of the Rule. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Fund did not engage in cross-trade purchases or sales.

The Fund’s officers and one Director, who are associated with Lord Abbett, do not receive any compensation from the Fund for serving in such capacities. Independent Directors’ fees are allocated among all Lord Abbett-sponsored funds primarily based on the relative net assets of each fund. There is an equity-based plan available to all Independent Directors under which Independent Directors may elect to defer receipt of a portion of Directors’ fees. The deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in the Fund. Such amounts and earnings accrued thereon are included in Directors’ fees in the Statement of Operations and in Directors’ fees payable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid.

For the period ended April 30, 2026, the Fund and certain other funds managed by Lord Abbett (collectively, the “Participating Funds”) were party to a syndicated line of credit facility with various lenders for $1.675 billion (the “Syndicated Facility”) under which State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) participated as a lender and as agent for the lenders. The Participating Funds were subject to graduated borrowing limits of the lesser of either one-third or one-fifth of unencumbered fund net assets and $250 million, $300 million, $700 million or $1 billion, in each case based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

Effective June 5, 2026, the Participating Funds renewed the Syndicated Facility for $1.8 billion. The Participating Funds are subject to graduated borrowing limits of the lesser of either one-third or one-fifth of unencumbered fund net assets and $250 million, $500 million, $700 million or $1 billion, in each case based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

For the period ended April 30, 2026, the Participating Funds were also party to an additional uncommitted line of credit facility with SSB for $330 million (the “Bilateral Facility”). Under the Bilateral Facility, the Participating Funds were subject to graduated borrowing limits of the lesser of either one-third or one-fifth of unencumbered fund net assets and $250 million based on past borrowings and likelihood of future borrowings, among other factors.

Effective June 5, 2026, the Participating Funds renewed the Bilateral Facility in the same amount. The Participating Funds remain subject to the same borrowing limits as were in place prior to the renewal.

Interest associated with these credit facilities is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings generally at an amount above the Federal Funds rate or at the negotiated rate for swing line loans. In addition, there is a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.20% on the daily unused portion of the Syndicated Facility which is allocated among the Participating Funds at the end of each quarter and is included with Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations. There is no fee associated with the unused portion of the Bilateral Facility.

These credit facilities are to be used for short-term working capital purposes as additional sources of liquidity to satisfy redemptions.

For the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Fund did not utilize the Syndicated Facility or Bilateral Facility.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC exemptive order”), certain registered open-end management investment companies managed by Lord Abbett, including the Fund, participate in a joint lending and borrowing program (the “Interfund Lending Program”). The SEC exemptive order allows the funds that participate in the Interfund Lending Program to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes subject to the limitations and conditions.

During the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Fund did not participate as a borrower or lender in the Interfund Lending Program.

SSB is the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent. SSB performs custodial, accounting and recordkeeping functions relating to portfolio transactions and calculating the Fund’s NAV.

The Fund has established a securities lending agreement with Citibank, N.A. for the lending of securities to qualified brokers in exchange for securities or cash collateral equal to at least the market value of securities loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Cash collateral is invested in an approved money market fund. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending agreement, the market value of securities on loan is determined each day at the close of business and any additional collateral required to cover the value of securities on loan is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience a delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or the borrower becomes insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Any income earned from securities lending is included in Securities lending net income, if any, in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value equal to at least 100% of the market value of the securities loaned. The collateral must be marked-to-market daily to cover increases in the market value of the securities loaned (or potentially a decline in the value of the collateral). In general, the risk of borrower default will be borne by Citibank, N.A.; the Fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. The advantage of such loans is that the Fund continues to receive income on loaned securities while receiving a portion of any securities lending fees and earning returns on the cash amounts which may be reinvested for the purchase of investments in securities.

The Fund is subject to the general risks and considerations associated with equity investing, as well as the particular risks associated with value stocks and dividend paying companies. The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate in response to movements in the equity securities markets in general, and to the changing prospects of individual companies in which the Fund invests. Large-cap value stocks may perform differently than the market as a whole and other types of

stocks, such as small company stocks and growth stocks. Different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions. The market may fail to recognize the intrinsic value of particular value stocks for a long time. In addition, if the Fund’s assessment of a company’s value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds, even in a rising market. The performance of dividend paying companies may lag the performance of other companies or the broader market as a whole. There is no guarantee that the companies that currently pay dividends will continue to do so. Due to its investments in multinational companies, foreign companies and American Depositary Receipts, the Fund may experience increased market liquidity, currency, political information and other risks.

The Fund is subject to the risks associated with derivatives, which may be different from and greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other investments.

Geopolitical and other events, such as war, acts of terrorism, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illnesses, epidemics and pandemics, environmental and other public health issues, supply chain disruptions, inflation, recessions or other events, and governments’ reactions to such events, may lead to increased market volatility and instability in world economies and markets generally and may have adverse effects on the performance of the Fund and its investments.

A widespread health crisis, such as a global pandemic, could cause substantial market volatility, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and adversely impact Fund performance. For example, the effects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and may in the future have, a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, including exacerbating other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. In addition, the increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events or conditions in a single country or region or events affecting a single or small number of issuers.

It is difficult to accurately predict or foresee when events or conditions affecting the U.S. or global financial markets, economies, and issuers may occur, the effects of such events or conditions, potential escalations or expansions of these events, possible retaliations in response to sanctions or similar actions and the duration or ultimate impact of those events. The foregoing could disrupt the operations of the Fund and its service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments and negatively impact the Fund’s performance and your investment in the Fund.

Remuneration paid to directors, officers, and others is included in “Directors’ Remuneration” under Item 7 of this Form N-CSR.

The Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund or of Lord Abbett, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Directors”), annually considers whether to approve the continuation of the existing management agreement between the Fund and Lord Abbett (the “Agreement”). In connection with its most recent approval, the Board reviewed materials relating specifically to the Agreement, as well as numerous materials received throughout the course of the year, including information about the Fund’s investment performance compared to the performance of an appropriate benchmark. Before making its decision as to the Fund, the Board had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information, taking into account its knowledge of Lord Abbett gained through its meetings and discussions. The Independent Directors also met with their independent legal counsel in various private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.

The materials received by the Board included, but were not limited to: (1) information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”) regarding the investment performance of the Fund compared to the investment performance of certain funds with similar investment styles as determined by Broadridge, based, in part, on the Fund’s Morningstar category (the “performance peer group”), and the investment performance of an appropriate benchmark; (2) information provided by Broadridge regarding the expense ratios, contractual and actual management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund and certain funds in the same Morningstar category, with generally the same or similar share classes and operational characteristics, including asset size (the “expense peer group”); (3) certain supplemental investment performance information provided by Lord Abbett; (4) information provided by Lord Abbett on the expense ratios, management fee rates, and other expense components for the Fund; (5) sales and redemption information for the Fund; (6) information regarding Lord Abbett’s financial condition; (7) an analysis of the relative profitability to Lord Abbett of providing management and administrative services to the Fund; and (8) information regarding the personnel and other resources devoted by Lord Abbett to managing the Fund.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)

Investment Management and Related Services Generally. The Board considered the services provided by Lord Abbett to the Fund, including investment research, portfolio management, risk oversight, and trading, and Lord Abbett’s commitment to compliance with all applicable legal requirements and investments undertaken to enhance its compliance oversight. The Board also observed that Lord Abbett was solely engaged in the investment management business and accordingly did not experience the conflicts of interest that may result from being engaged in other lines of business, although the Board was mindful that other conflicts of interest may exist. The Board considered the investment advisory services provided by Lord Abbett to other clients, the fees charged for the services, and the differences in the nature of the services provided to the Fund and other Lord Abbett Funds, on the one hand, and the services provided to other clients, on the other. The Board observed that differences in fee rates between these clients and the Lord Abbett Funds are not uniform when examined on a fund-by-fund basis, suggesting that differences in the pricing of investment management services to these clients may reflect a variety of factors, including historical competitive forces operating in separate marketplaces. The Board considered the fact that in many instances fee rates are higher on average for mutual fund clients than for other clients. The Board did not rely on these comparisons to any significant extent in reaching their decision. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded that the Fund was likely to continue to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the investment services provided by Lord Abbett under the Agreement.

Investment Performance. The Board reviewed the Fund’s investment performance in relation to that of the performance peer group and an appropriate benchmark as of various periods ended June 30, 2025. The Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance was above the median of the performance peer group for the one- and three-year periods and below the median of the performance peer group for the five- and ten-year periods. The Board considered Lord Abbett’s explanation of the Fund’s performance. The Board further considered Lord Abbett’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of other Lord Abbett-managed funds overseen by the Board, and the willingness of Lord Abbett to take steps intended to improve performance when appropriate. After reviewing these and other factors, including those described below, the Board concluded that the Fund’s Agreement should be continued.

Lord Abbett’s Personnel and Methods. The Board considered the qualifications of the personnel providing investment management services to the Fund, in light of its investment objective and strategy, and other services provided to the Fund by Lord Abbett. Among other things, the Board considered the size, experience, and turnover of Lord Abbett’s staff, the resources made available to them, Lord Abbett’s investment methodologies and philosophy, and Lord Abbett’s approach to recruiting, training, and retaining personnel.

Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of compliance, administrative, and other services performed by Lord Abbett and the nature and extent of Lord Abbett’s oversight of third party service providers, including the Fund’s transfer agent and custodian.

Expenses. The Board considered the expense level of the Fund, including the contractual and actual management fee rates, and the expense levels of the Fund’s expense peer group. It also considered how each of the expense level and the actual management fee rates of the Fund related to those of the expense peer group and the amount and nature of the fees paid by shareholders.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (continued)

The Board observed that the net total expense ratio and the actual management fee of the Fund were both below the median of the expense peer group. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of its overall approval of the Agreement, that the management fee schedule in place for the Fund was reasonable in light of all of the factors it considered, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by Lord Abbett.

Profitability. The Board considered the level of Lord Abbett’s operating margin in managing the Fund, including the administrative services it provides to the Fund, and reviewed Lord Abbett’s methodology for allocating its costs to its management of the Fund. It considered whether the Fund was profitable to Lord Abbett in connection with the Fund’s operation, including the fee that Lord Abbett receives from the Fund for providing administrative services to the Fund. The Board considered Lord Abbett’s profit margins excluding Lord Abbett’s marketing and distribution expenses. The Board also considered Lord Abbett’s profit margins, without those exclusions, in comparison with available industry data and how those profit margins could affect Lord Abbett’s ability to recruit and retain personnel. The Board recognized that Lord Abbett’s overall profitability was a factor in enabling it to attract and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Fund. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of its overall approval of the Agreement, that Lord Abbett’s profitability with respect to the Fund was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the extent to which there had been economies of scale in managing the Fund, whether the Fund’s shareholders had appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there was potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board also considered information provided by Lord Abbett regarding how it shares any potential economies of scale through its investments in its businesses supporting the Fund. The Board also considered the Fund’s existing management fee schedule, with contractual breakpoints in the level of management fee. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that any economies of scale were adequately addressed in respect of the Fund.

Other Benefits to Lord Abbett. The Board considered the amount and nature of the fees paid by the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders to Lord Abbett and the Distributor for services other than investment advisory services, such as the fee that Lord Abbett receives from the Fund for providing administrative services to the Fund. The Board also considered the revenues and profitability of Lord Abbett’s investment advisory business apart from its mutual fund business, and the intangible benefits enjoyed by Lord Abbett by virtue of its relationship with the Fund. The Board observed that the Distributor receives 12b-1 fees from certain of the Lord Abbett Funds as to shares held in accounts for which there is no other broker of record, that the Distributor may retain a portion of the 12b-1 fees it receives, and that the Distributor receives a portion of the sales charges on sales and redemptions of some classes of shares of the Lord Abbett Funds. In addition, the Board observed that Lord Abbett accrues certain benefits for its business of providing investment advice to clients other than the Lord Abbett Funds, but that business also benefits the Funds. The Board also noted that Lord Abbett has entered into revenue sharing arrangements with certain entities that distribute shares of the Lord Abbett Funds. The Board also took into consideration the investment research that Lord Abbett receives as a result of client brokerage transactions, including its mutual fund clients.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract (concluded)

Alternative Arrangements. The Board considered whether, instead of approving continuation of the Agreement, it might be in the best interests of the Fund to implement one or more alternative arrangements, such as continuing to employ Lord Abbett, but on different terms. After considering all of the relevant factors, the Board unanimously found that continuation of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and voted unanimously to approve the continuation of the Agreement. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as paramount or controlling. Individual Directors may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. This summary does not discuss in detail all matters considered.

^(a)	Calculated using average shares outstanding during the period.

^(c)	Unaudited.
^(d)	Not annualized.
^(e)	Annualized.

(a)	Investment Valuation–Under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Board has designated the determination of fair value of the Fund’s portfolio investments to Lord Abbett as its valuation designee. Accordingly, Lord Abbett is responsible for, among other things, assessing and managing valuation risks, establishing, applying and testing fair value methodologies, and evaluating pricing services. Lord Abbett has formed a pricing committee (the “Pricing Committee”) that performs these responsibilities on behalf of Lord Abbett, administers the pricing and valuation of portfolio investments and ensures that prices utilized reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow Lord Abbett, subject to Board oversight, to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

	Securities actively traded on any recognized U.S. or non-U.S. exchange or on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Events occurring after the close of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Pricing Committee uses a third-party fair valuation service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that correlate to the fair-valued securities. Unlisted equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask prices. Exchange traded options and futures contracts are valued at the last quoted sale price in the market where they are principally traded. If no sale has occurred, the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask prices is used.

	Securities for which prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including observable and unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information to determine the fair value of portfolio investments. The Board or a designated committee thereof periodically reviews reports that may include fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee, related market activity, inputs and assumptions, and retrospective comparison of prices of subsequent purchases and sales transactions to fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee.

	Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value.

●	Level 1 –	unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

●	Level 2 –	other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

●	Level 3 –	significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

(b)	Expenses–Expenses, excluding class-specific expenses, are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day. In addition, Class F3 and R6 shares bear only their class-specific share of shareholder servicing expenses. Class A, C, F, P, R2, R3 and R4 shares bear their class-specific share of all expenses and fees relating to the Fund’s 12b-1 Distribution Plan.

(c)	Foreign Transactions–The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the Fund’s records at the rate prevailing when earned or recorded. Asset and liability accounts that are denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted daily to reflect current exchange rates and any unrealized gain/(loss), if applicable, is included in Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The resultant exchange gains and losses upon settlement of such transactions, if applicable, are included in Net realized gain/(loss) on foreign currency related transactions in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in market prices of the securities.

(d)	Income Taxes–It is the policy of the Fund to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no income tax provision is required.

	Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of April 30, 2026, no liability for Federal Income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The statutes of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the Fund’s jurisdiction.

(e)	Investment Income–Dividend income, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis as earned. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method and are included in Interest and other, if applicable, in the Statement of Operations. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Investment income is allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day.

(f)	Repurchase Agreements–The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to securities. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a fund acquires a security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (a bank or securities dealer) at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. The Fund requires at all times that the repurchase agreement be collateralized by cash, or by securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies, its instrumentalities, or U.S. Government sponsored enterprises having a value equal to, or in excess of, the value of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). If the seller of the agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the fair value of these securities has declined, the Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities.

	Because the Fund’s repurchase agreements are not subject to master netting arrangements, no offsetting disclosures have been presented for these transactions.

(g)	Security Transactions–Security transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost method. Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets at the beginning of the day.
