About CMBQX
American Funds Multi-Sector Income Fund 529-F-3 is a multi-sector bond mutual fund designed to deliver a high level of current income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. It allocates across diverse fixed income segments—including corporate credit, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed obligations, and both U.S. and non-U.S. government issues—to balance income generation with risk management. The portfolio emphasizes corporate bonds and maintains a moderate interest-rate profile, reflected in an effective duration of roughly the mid‑4‑year range, while distributing income on a monthly basis. Managed by Capital Group, the strategy employs extensive security selection across hundreds of issuers and actively adjusts sector and quality exposures to navigate changing credit and rate environments. Within education savings plans, this 529 share class provides access to the same underlying strategy while aligning fees and features to the plan structure. The fund’s role in the market is to serve as a core-plus income solution, aiming to diversify equity-heavy allocations and complement core bond holdings by tapping multiple fixed income sectors for consistent cash flow and credit-driven total return potential.
