About PPVCX
American Funds Preservation Portfolio Class C is a fund-of-funds designed to prioritize capital preservation while providing current income. It allocates primarily to underlying American Funds fixed income strategies, with a focus on short- and intermediate‑term bond exposures to temper interest‑rate sensitivity and reduce volatility relative to longer‑duration portfolios. The portfolio seeks a material portion of income from bond funds, including those investing in securities exempt from regular federal income tax, such as municipal bonds, alongside taxable U.S. investment‑grade holdings. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the approach leverages multi‑manager research and risk controls within a conservative allocation mandate established in 2012. As a Class C share class, it carries ongoing distribution and service fees and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if shares are redeemed within one year. Positioned for conservative investors and retirement plan participants seeking stability during challenging markets, the portfolio serves as a lower‑volatility anchor within diversified fixed income and capital preservation allocations.
