F. Thomas O'Halloran, who manages the Growth Leaders Fund and three others for Lord Abbett, told CNBC that his team used a series of timely shifts in its portfolio this year to beat the broader market and continue a track record of outperformance. The, as measured by its R3 share class, has gained more than 37% year-to-date, according to Morningstar.
The fund's top positions as of June 30 were in trillion-dollar stocks, but O'Halloran said his background as a small-cap investor means that his team often looks to move "down cap" to smaller companies.
