About RPPFX

American Funds Preservation Portfolio Class R-5 is a fund-of-funds designed to deliver current income while emphasizing preservation of capital. According to the sponsor, it allocates predominantly to underlying American Funds fixed income strategies, keeping exposure squarely in bonds and cash-like instruments to limit volatility and drawdowns. The portfolio holds no equity, with the vast majority in U.S. bonds and a smaller allocation to non-U.S. debt, complemented by cash equivalents for liquidity. Its sector mix is diversified across mortgage‑backed and asset‑backed securities, U.S. Treasuries, and high‑quality corporates, reflecting a short-term bond orientation. The fund pays dividends monthly and maintains a low turnover profile, aligning with its income-and-capital‑preservation mandate. Launched in 2012, it is overseen by Capital Group and benchmarks against the Bloomberg 1–5 Year U.S. Government/Credit A+ Index, underscoring its short-duration risk posture. With hundreds of underlying issuers and a measured effective duration profile, the portfolio serves as a conservative fixed income core or ballast within diversified retirement accounts seeking stability and steady income.
