About AMUSX

American Funds U.S. Government Securities Fund Class A is a mutual fund with a primary focus on providing a high level of current income while prioritizing prudent investment risk and the preservation of capital. Managed by Capital Group, this fund directs at least 80% of its portfolio to securities that are either guaranteed or sponsored by the U.S. government, including Treasury bonds, notes, and mortgage-backed securities issued by federal agencies. The fund may also hold a portion of its assets—up to 20%—in highly rated mortgage- and asset-backed securities, further diversifying its exposure within the realm of government-backed debt instruments. By concentrating on government-issued and government-sponsored securities, the fund seeks to minimize credit risk and generally offers low correlation to equities, making it a notable choice for investors interested in stabilizing portfolios and managing interest rate sensitivity. With regular monthly dividends and a moderate duration profile, the fund plays a prominent role among intermediate government bond funds, serving both income-focused investors and those seeking capital preservation in fixed-income markets. Its long-standing history and sizable asset base highlight its significance as a core holding within the U.S. government bond sector.
