⁽¹⁾	Refer to Note 2(l) for a description of fair value measurements and the three-tier hierarchy of inputs.
⁽²⁾	See Schedule of Investments for fair values in each industry and identification of foreign issuers and/or geography. The table above is presented by Investment Type. Industries are presented within an Investment Type should such Investment Type include securities classified as two or more levels within the three-tier fair value hierarchy.
⁽³⁾	There were no Level 1/Level 2 transfers during the period ended September 30, 2016.
⁽⁴⁾	Includes securities valued using third party pricing information without adjustment. Such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of such Level 3 investments.
⁽⁵⁾	Level 3 securities fair valued by the Pricing Committee, as described in Note 2(a) in the Notes to Financials.
⁽⁶⁾	Floating Rate Loans categorized as Level 3 are valued based on a single quotation obtained from a dealer. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America do not require the Fund to create quantitative unobservable inputs that were not developed by the Fund. Therefore, the Fund does not have access to unobservable inputs and cannot disclose such inputs in the valuation.

The following is a reconciliation of investments with unobservable inputs (Level 3) that were used in determining fair value:

⁽³⁾	There were no Level 1/Level 2 transfers during the period ended September 30, 2016.
⁽⁴⁾	Includes securities valued using third party pricing information without adjustment. Such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of such Level 3 investments.
⁽⁵⁾	Floating Rate Loans categorized as Level 3 are valued based on a single quotation obtained from a dealer. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America do not require the Fund to create quantitative unobservable inputs that were not developed by the Fund. Therefore, the Fund does not have access to unobservable inputs and cannot disclose such inputs in the valuation.
⁽⁶⁾	Non-Agency Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities categorized as Level 3 investments include A10 Bridge Asset Financing LLC 2015-AA A, Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2016-SMPL E, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates 2016-GCT XA IO, H/2 Asset Funding 2015-1A-AFL, H/2 Asset Funding 2015-1A-AFX, H/2 Asset Funding 2015-1A-BFX and Prima Capital CRE Securization 2006-1.

1. ORGANIZATION

Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and was incorporated under Maryland law in 1989. The Company consists of the following thirteen portfolios (separately, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Bond-Debenture Portfolio (“Bond Debenture”), Calibrated Dividend Growth Portfolio (“Calibrated Dividend Growth”), Classic Stock Portfolio (“Classic Stock”), Developing Growth Portfolio (“Developing Growth”), Fundamental Equity Portfolio (“Fundamental Equity”), Growth and Income Portfolio (“Growth and Income”), Growth Opportunities Portfolio (“Growth Opportunities”), International Core Equity Portfolio (“International Core Equity”), International Opportunities Portfolio (“International Opportunities”), Mid Cap Stock Portfolio (“Mid Cap Stock”), Short Duration Income Portfolio (“Short Duration Income”), Total Return Portfolio (“Total Return”) and Value Opportunities Portfolio (“Value Opportunities”). Each Fund is diversified as defined in the Act.

The investment objective of Bond Debenture is to seek high current income and the opportunity for capital appreciation to produce a high total return. The investment objective of Calibrated Dividend Growth is to seek current income and capital appreciation. The investment objective of Classic Stock is growth of capital and growth of income consistent with reasonable risk. The investment objective of Developing Growth is long-term growth of capital. The investment objective of Fundamental Equity and Growth and Income is long-term growth of capital and income without excessive fluctuations in market value. The investment objective of Growth Opportunities is capital appreciation. The investment objective of International Core Equity, International Opportunities and Value Opportunities is long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of Mid Cap Stock is to seek capital appreciation through investments, primarily in equity securities, which are believed to be undervalued in the marketplace. The investment objective of Short Duration Income is to seek a high level of income consistent with preservation of capital. The investment objective of Total Return is to seek income and capital appreciation to produce a high total return.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)	Investment Valuation-Under procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”), Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), the Funds’ investment manager, has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio investments and to ensure that prices utilized reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the Funds 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. Each Fund may utilize an independent fair valuation service in adjusting the valuations of foreign 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 asked prices. Fixed income securities are valued based on evaluated prices supplied by independent pricing services, which reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations and the independent pricing services’ own electronic data processing techniques. Exchange traded options and futures contracts are valued at the last sale price in the market where they are principally traded. If no sale has occurred, the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices is used. Floating rate loans are valued at the average of bid and ask quotations obtained from dealers in loans on the basis of prices supplied by independent pricing services. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using daily forward exchange rates. Swaps are valued daily using independent pricing services or quotations from broker/dealers to the extent available.

	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, yield curves, broker quotes, observable trading activity, option adjusted spread models and other relevant information to determine the fair value of portfolio investments. The Board or a designated committee thereof regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee and employs techniques such as reviewing related market activity, reviewing inputs and assumptions, and retrospectively comparing prices of subsequent purchases and sales transactions to fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee.

N-Q	168th “Page” of 174	TOC	1st	Previous	Next	↓Bottom	Just 168th

</PAGE>

Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited)(continued)

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

(b)	Security Transactions-Security transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).

(c)	Foreign Transactions-The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in each Fund’s records at the rate prevailing when earned or recorded.

	The Funds use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

(d)	Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts-Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings, or gain or reduce exposure to foreign currency solely for investment purposes. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. The contracts are valued daily at forward exchange rates.

(e)	Futures Contracts-Bond Debenture, Calibrated Dividend Growth, Short Duration Income and Total Return may purchase and sell futures contracts to enhance returns, to attempt to economically hedge some of its investment risk, or as a substitute position in lieu of holding the underlying asset on which the instrument is based. Calibrated Dividend Growth may purchase and sell index future contracts to manage cash. At the time of entering into a futures transaction, an investor is required to deposit and maintain a specified amount of cash or eligible securities called “initial margin.” Subsequent payments made or received by the Fund called “variation margin” are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. The Fund will record an unrealized gain (loss) based on the amount of variation margin. When a contract is closed, a realized gain (loss) is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract.

(f)	Repurchase Agreements-Each 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. Each 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, a Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities.

(g)	Reverse Repurchase Agreements-Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells a security to a securities dealer or bank for cash and also agrees to repurchase the same security later at a set price. Reverse repurchase agreements expose the Fund to credit risk (that is, the risk that the counterparty will fail to resell the security to the Fund). Engaging in reverse repurchase agreements also may involve the use of leverage, in that the Fund may reinvest the cash it receives in additional securities. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities to be repurchased by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price.

(h)	Credit Default Swaps-The Bond Debenture Portfolio may enter into credit default swap contracts in order to economically hedge credit risk or for speculation purposes. As a seller of a credit default swap contract (“seller of protection”), the Fund is required to pay the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, the Fund receives from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract.

N-Q	169th “Page” of 174	TOC	1st	Previous	Next	↓Bottom	Just 169th

</PAGE>

Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited)(continued)

	As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract (“buyer of protection”), the Fund would receive the notional amount or other agreed upon value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of default by or other credit event involving the referenced issuer, obligation or index. In return, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contracts, provided no event of default has occurred.

	These credit default swaps may have as a reference obligation corporate or sovereign issuers or credit indexes. These credit indexes are comprised of a basket of securities representing a particular sector of the market. During the period, Bond Debenture Portfolio entered into credit default swaps based on CMBX indexes, which are comprised of a basket of commercial mortgage-backed securities.

	Credit default swaps are fair valued based upon quotations from counterparties, brokers or market-makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation. For a credit default swap sold by the Fund, payment of the agreed-upon amount made by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap purchased by the Fund, the agreed-upon amount received by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by the Fund.

	Any upfront payments made or received upon entering a credit default swap contract would be amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gains or losses. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the custodian bank or broker in accordance with the swap agreement. The value and credit rating of each credit default swap where the Fund is the seller of protection, are both measures of the current payment/performance risk of the swap. As the value of the swap changes as a positive or negative percentage of the total notional amount, the payment/performance risk may decrease or increase, respectively. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

	Entering into credit default swaps involves credit and market risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, and that Lord Abbett does not correctly predict the creditworthiness of the issuers of the reference obligation on which the credit default swap is based.

(i)	*When-Issued, Forward Transactions or To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) Transactions-Each Fund may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or forward basis. When-issued, forward transactions or TBA transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase securities, with payment and delivery (“settlement”*) to take place in the future, in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield at the time of entering into the transaction. During the period between purchase and settlement, the fair value of the securities will fluctuate and assets consisting of cash and/or marketable securities (normally short-term U.S. Government or U.S. Government sponsored enterprise securities) marked to market daily in an amount sufficient to make payment at settlement will be segregated at each Fund’s custodian in order to pay for the commitment. At the time each Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, it will record the transaction and reflect the liability for the purchase and fair value of the security in determining its net asset value. Each Fund, generally, has the ability to close out a purchase obligation on or before the settlement date rather than take delivery of the security. Under no circumstances will settlement for such securities take place more than 120 days after the purchase date.

(j)	Mortgage Dollar Rolls-Bond Debenture and Total Return may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which a fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, each Fund loses the right to receive principal (including prepayments of principal) and interest paid on the securities sold.

</PAGE>

Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited)(continued)

(k)	Floating Rate Loans-Bond Debenture, Short Duration Income and Total Return may invest in floating rate loans, which usually take the form of loan participations and assignments. Loan participations and assignments are agreements to make money available to U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities (the “Borrower”) in a specified amount, at a specified rate and within a specified time. A loan is typically originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign bank, insurance company or other financial institution (the “Agent”) for a group of loan investors (“Loan Investors”). The Agent typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the other Loan Investors in the syndicate and may hold any collateral on behalf of the Loan Investors. Such loan participations and assignments are typically senior, secured and collateralized in nature. A Fund records an investment when the Borrower withdraws money and records interest as earned. These loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).

	The loans in which each Fund invests may be subject to some restrictions on resale. For example, each Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent and/or Borrower prior to the sale of these investments. Each Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, each Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any other persons interpositioned between each Fund and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). In the event that the Borrower, selling participant or Intermediate Participants become insolvent or enter into bankruptcy, each Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

	Unfunded commitments represent the remaining obligation of each Fund to the Borrower. At any point in time, up to the maturity date of the issue, the Borrower may demand the unfunded portion. As of September 30, 2016, the following Fund had unfunded loan commitments:

Security Name	Fund Name
	Short Duration Income
Lam Research Corporation 3 Year Tranche Loan	$	25,000
Lam Research Corporation 5 Year Tranche Loan		19,000


(l)	Fair Value Measurements-Fair value is defined as the price that each 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:

·	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 each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A summary of inputs used in valuing each Fund’s investments and other financial instruments as of September 30, 2016 and, if applicable, Level 1/Level 2 transfers and Level 3 rollforwards for the period then ended is included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

N-Q	171st “Page” of 174	TOC	1st	Previous	Next	↓Bottom	Just 171st

</PAGE>

Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited)(continued)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the three-tier hierarchy. All transfers between different levels within the three-tier hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

3. DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Bond Debenture entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts during the period ended September 30, 2016 (as described in Note 2(d)). A forward foreign currency exchange contract reduces the Fund’s exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will deliver (or settle in cash) and increases its exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will receive (or settle in cash) for the duration of the contract. The Fund’s use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that Lord Abbett will not accurately predict currency movements, and the Fund’s returns could be reduced as a result. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

Bond Debenture, Short Duration Income and Total Return entered into U.S. Treasury futures contracts and Calibrated Dividend Growth entered into E-Mini S&P 500 index futures, during the period ended September 30, 2016 (as described in note 2(e)) to economically hedge against changes in interest rates and to manage cash. Bond Debenture, Short Duration Income and Total Return bear the risk of interest rates moving unexpectedly, in which case the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and realize a loss. Calibrated Dividend Growth bears the risk that the underlying index will move unexpectedly, in which case the Fund may realize a loss. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees futures against default.

As of September 30, 2016, Bond Debenture, Calibrated Dividend Growth, Short Duration Income and Total Return had the following derivatives at fair value, grouped into risk categories that illustrate the Funds use of derivative instruments:
