About CLBFX

American Balanced Fund 529-F-1 is a mutual fund designed to deliver a combination of capital preservation, current income, and long-term capital growth. It employs a balanced investment strategy by diversifying across a wide array of asset classes—including common stocks and investment-grade bonds—while also allocating assets to securities issued and guaranteed by the U.S. government and federal agencies. The fund typically maintains at least 50% of its assets in equities and a minimum of 25% in debt securities, including money market instruments, providing a dynamic blend of growth and income potential. This fund is managed using a multi-manager approach, where its portfolio is segmented and overseen by different experienced managers, leveraging complementary investment perspectives to enhance decision-making. American Balanced Fund 529-F-1 targets medium to large-capitalization companies but is not restricted by market cap or geography, occasionally including international holdings. It is structured to suit investors seeking a core holding with exposure to both stock market appreciation and steady bond income, reflecting its significant role as part of the allocation category in mixed-asset portfolios.
