Use the Lord Abbett Fund Calculator to see how different annual return assumptions (proxy for risk) affect future value over various horizons. Higher assumed returns create wider final value ranges, reflecting greater volatility.
Match fund allocation to your timeline: equities for long-term goals, a mix for medium-term, and conservative instruments for short-term objectives. Projections help quantify the trade-offs.
Longer horizons generally tolerate higher volatility for greater expected returns; shorter horizons benefit from capital preservation.
