About RBFFX

American Funds The Bond Fund of America Class R-5 is an intermediate core bond mutual fund designed to provide a high level of current income while emphasizing the preservation of capital. Managed by Capital Group, the fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in a diversified mix of U.S. government, corporate, and mortgage-backed securities, with the flexibility to allocate up to 25% in non-U.S. issuers. Most holdings are rated A or better, reflecting a strong focus on credit quality, and the fund limits its exposure to below-investment-grade securities to no more than 10% of assets. The portfolio is broadly diversified across more than 1,400 issuers, with significant allocations to mortgage-backed obligations, corporate bonds, and U.S. Treasury instruments. Regular monthly dividends make the fund appealing to income-focused investors, and its core bond designation enables it to serve as a foundational holding for balanced or fixed-income portfolios. The fund’s conservative approach to credit risk, combined with active management and broad market exposure, makes it a notable vehicle for seeking both income generation and stability in varying interest rate environments.
