From what I’ve seen, the program gives you solid exposure to key areas like research, portfolio strategy, and trading, which makes it an excellent starting point for anyone serious about asset management.
Since Lord Abbett is a privately held firm, the culture tends to be more collaborative and performance-driven, so showing curiosity, initiative, and a strong grasp of market trends can really help you stand out during the interview process.
