About CFAEX

American Funds The Bond Fund of America Class 529-E is an actively managed open-end mutual fund specializing in intermediate core bonds. Its primary objective is to provide a high level of current income while maintaining a strong emphasis on preserving capital. The fund invests predominantly in investment-grade U.S. and non-U.S. bonds, with significant allocations to U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed obligations, and asset-backed securities. Key characteristics include a broad diversification across more than a thousand issuers, a moderate effective duration of approximately 6.1 years, and a monthly dividend distribution schedule. The portfolio’s composition is heavily weighted toward U.S. bonds, but it also maintains exposure to international debt markets. Serving as a core fixed-income holding, this fund supports the needs of investors seeking steady income streams and principal stability, and it is commonly used within 529 college savings plans to help manage long-term educational expenses. With its substantial asset base and disciplined risk management approach, the fund plays a prominent role in providing bond market access to a wide range of investors.
