About FGIGX
The American Funds International Growth and Income Fund, Class 529F3, is a mutual fund managed by Capital Group that seeks to provide investors with long-term growth of capital while offering current income through regular dividends. Its primary focus is investing in a diversified range of larger, well-established companies primarily domiciled outside the United States, including developed and emerging markets.

Its investment strategy underscores a balance between growth and income, targeting attractively valued companies that present above-average long-term potential.
