About FCHTX
American Funds 2045 Target Date Retirement Fund F3 is a target date mutual fund tailored for individuals planning to retire around the year 2045. The fund's primary purpose is to provide a professionally managed, all-in-one retirement savings solution that automatically adjusts its allocation as the target retirement date approaches. Early in its lifecycle, the fund maintains a higher allocation to growth-oriented assets such as U.S. and international equities, aiming for capital appreciation. As 2045 nears, the fund gradually shifts its allocation toward more conservative investments, including fixed income, equity-income, and balanced funds, with a focus on income generation and capital preservation. This dynamic asset allocation seeks to balance total return and risk reduction over time. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund leverages a blend of underlying American Funds portfolios, offering broad diversification across sectors such as information technology, financials, healthcare, and consumer discretionary. The fund plays a significant role in retirement planning by simplifying investment decisions for participants and providing a structured path to transition from asset growth to income and stability as investors approach and transition through retirement.
