About RCWEX

American Funds Capital World Bond Fund Class R-4 is an open-ended mutual fund specializing in global fixed-income investments. Its primary purpose is to deliver a high level of total return through prudent investment in a diversified portfolio of bonds and debt securities. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds, including those issued by governments, supranational institutions, and corporations, and spans both developed and emerging markets. The portfolio is distinguished by its broad diversification, typically covering more than 60 countries and maintaining significant exposure to both U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. The fund targets primarily investment-grade bonds, but its managers have the flexibility to include select below-investment-grade securities based on their global research and macroeconomic outlook, aiming to benefit from income and capital appreciation opportunities. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, one of the industry’s longstanding investment firms, the fund employs a multi-manager approach and fundamental analysis. Its performance is benchmarked against indices like the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index. With a moderate risk profile and a focus on global diversification, the fund serves investors seeking exposure to international interest rate trends, protection from U.S. market-specific risks, and income opportunities outside domestic bonds.
