About RANEX

American Funds Strategic Bond Fund Class R-4 is an actively managed mutual fund classified within the intermediate core-plus bond category.

With an inception date in 2016, the fund has grown to manage billions in assets and holds hundreds of distinct issuers, contributing to its diversification. Its effective duration of approximately 6.5 years places it within the intermediate term, and its turnover rate reflects an active management approach. American Funds Strategic Bond Fund Class R-4 plays a significant role for investors seeking a core fixed-income holding that can adapt to various interest rate environments, serving both as a primary bond allocation and as a complementary piece within broader, diversified portfolios.
