About ANBFX
American Funds Strategic Bond Fund Class F-2 is an open-end mutual fund that focuses on delivering maximum total return while prioritizing preservation of capital. Structured as an intermediate core-plus bond fund, it actively invests at least 80% of its assets in a wide array of bonds and other debt securities, including corporate, government, mortgage-backed, and agency-issued instruments. The portfolio reflects a mix of U.S. bonds (approximately 82%), non-U.S. bonds (about 14%), and a modest allocation to cash equivalents, with no equity exposure. Notably, the fund employs a flexible, research-driven approach, seeking opportunities across sectors, including both domestic and international fixed income markets, and has the capacity to utilize derivatives for additional risk and return management. Managed by a seasoned team since its inception in 2016, the fund is diversified, holding over 900 issuers, and seeks to maintain a moderate level of interest rate and credit risk. Regular income is distributed quarterly, and its benchmark is the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, situating it as a strategic choice for investors seeking diversified fixed income exposure with an emphasis on stability.
