About RBFGX

The Bond Fund of America Class R-6 is an open-end mutual fund that focuses on providing a high level of current income while preserving capital. This fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in a broad array of U.S. and non-U.S. bonds and other debt securities, including government, corporate, mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities. Targeting intermediate core bond exposure, it diversifies holdings across various sectors to manage credit and interest rate risk, making it a cornerstone for investors seeking balanced fixed income exposure. A notable feature of this fund is its emphasis on high credit quality—normally maintaining at least 60% of its assets in investment-grade debt. Limited allocations to below-investment-grade bonds add measured risk for enhanced income potential without compromising its conservative strategy. The fund regularly distributes income monthly, underscoring its focus on generating stable cash flows for shareholders. Managed by a team of portfolio managers with a multi-manager approach, The Bond Fund of America Class R-6 leverages a disciplined investment process and broad diversification. Its large asset base and established history highlight its significance within the mutual fund marketplace as a key vehicle for income-oriented investors and those seeking portfolio diversification with moderate interest rate sensitivity.
