About NFFFX
American Funds New World Fund® Class F-2 is a diversified emerging markets mutual fund that aims for long-term capital appreciation. Managed by Capital Group, the fund primarily invests in common stocks of companies that have significant exposure to developing economies, either by being domiciled in emerging market countries or by generating a large portion of their revenues from these markets. In addition to equities, the fund can allocate assets to debt securities, including government and lower-rated bonds (often termed “junk bonds”), providing a broader exposure to emerging market growth and risk profiles.
Notably, New World Fund® combines direct investments in emerging market firms with stakes in multinational corporations benefiting from growth in developing regions, setting it apart from peers that focus solely on one or the other. This multi-manager fund is guided by a team-based approach and leverages robust global research capabilities. Its portfolio spans various sectors, including technology, healthcare, and consumer services, with significant holdings in companies like Taiwan Semiconductor, Microsoft, and Tencent. The fund’s role within the financial market is to offer investors diversified access to the high-growth opportunities and volatility inherent in emerging markets, aiming to balance risk and reward over the long term.
