About RCBCX

American Funds Corporate Bond Fund Class R-3 is a mutual fund focused on investment-grade corporate debt securities. Its primary objective is to provide maximum total return while maintaining capital preservation and prudent risk management. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. and non-U.S. corporate bonds, notes, and loans, resulting in significant exposure to the credit markets of major corporations. This approach offers investors dedicated access to the corporate bond sector, which can serve as a diversifying component alongside equities and other fixed income in broader investment portfolios. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, one of the industry's longstanding investment firms, the fund leverages active management and rigorous research. It holds a diversified portfolio with more than 180 issuers and emphasizes risk control and credit quality. The fund distributes income monthly and targets investors seeking enhanced yield versus core bond funds, moderate interest rate sensitivity (average duration around 6.6 years), and a medium credit risk profile. With assets approaching $2 billion and a role as a reliable credit instrument, the fund contributes to the overall stability and income generation capacity of retirement and long-term investment portfolios.
