About CWBFX

American Funds Capital World Bond Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund in the global bond category. Its primary objective is to provide a high level of total return over the long term while adhering to prudent investment management. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company since its inception in 1987, the fund invests predominantly in quality fixed-income securities issued by governments and corporations worldwide, including both developed and emerging markets. The portfolio typically consists of both U.S. and non-U.S. bonds, with over half of the assets often allocated to international issuers, offering broad currency and geographic diversification. Up to 25% of the portfolio may be invested in bonds rated below investment grade at the time of purchase, granting exposure to additional yield opportunities. The fund also includes asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities among its holdings. With a minimum investment requirement of $250 and an expense ratio of 0.99%, it targets investors seeking income potential, risk diversification, and sensitivity to global interest rate trends within their fixed-income allocation. Regular dividends are paid quarterly, and capital gains are distributed semiannually, contributing to a total return approach that blends income with price appreciation and currency effects.
