About BFACX

American Funds The Bond Fund of America Class C is an open-ended mutual fund focused on fixed-income investments. Its primary objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income while preserving capital. To achieve this, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of bonds and other debt securities, including U.S. government, corporate, and mortgage-backed securities. It emphasizes investment-grade debt, with the majority of holdings rated A or better at the time of purchase, and typically limits exposure to lower-rated bonds. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund follows an intermediate core bond strategy, which balances income potential with risk management by investing across various sectors, maturities, and issuers. This approach makes it a popular core holding for income-oriented investors and those seeking to add stability to their broader investment portfolios. The fund distributes dividends monthly and maintains a long performance history, having been established in 1974. As one of the larger bond funds in the market, it plays a significant role in offering liquidity and diversification for fixed-income investors.
