About ANBCX

American Funds Strategic Bond Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in the intermediate core-plus bond category. Its primary objective is to achieve maximum total return while preserving capital, making it suitable for investors seeking a flexible, diversified approach to fixed income investing. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in a broad array of bonds and other debt securities, which include U.S. Treasury and government bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and international, including emerging market, debt. A distinctive feature of this fund is its capacity to allocate up to 50% of assets to non-investment grade (high-yield) and non-U.S. dollar denominated securities, as well as up to 40% in securities from emerging market issuers. This allows for increased diversification and the pursuit of opportunities across global fixed income markets. The fund is managed by Capital Research and Management Company, backed by a team with a strong research emphasis and an established investment process. Designed to complement traditional bond funds or to diversify away from equities, the American Funds Strategic Bond Fund Class C plays a strategic role in seeking risk-adjusted returns across diverse market environments.
