About CTHFX
American Funds College 2030 Fund (Class 529-F-1) is a target‑date mutual fund within the American Funds College Target Date Series, built for education savers anticipating enrollment around 2028–2030. The fund’s primary purpose is to streamline college saving by offering a single, diversified portfolio that automatically adjusts its mix of underlying American Funds as the enrollment date approaches. According to Capital Group, the series follows a glide path that gradually shifts from growth‑oriented equities toward fixed income, equity‑income, and balanced strategies to emphasize income and capital preservation nearer college entry, ultimately merging into the College Enrollment Fund at the target date. The portfolio spans U.S. and non‑U.S. stocks, U.S. and non‑U.S. bonds, and cash equivalents, with a majority allocation to fixed income at this stage of the glide path. Managed by a seasoned investment team, the fund targets growth, income, and preservation of capital to varying degrees over time, aiming to reduce risk as tuition draws near.
