About RBOEX
American Funds Intermediate Bond Fund of America® Class R-4 is an intermediate-term bond mutual fund designed to provide current income while seeking to preserve capital. The fund primarily invests in a diverse portfolio of investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, including a significant allocation to mortgage-backed obligations, U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, corporate bonds, and asset-backed securities. These allocations help reduce interest rate risk compared to longer-duration bond funds and offer a measure of stability for investors seeking to diversify their equity exposure. The fund typically avoids equities, focusing almost exclusively on fixed-income instruments, with more than 90% of assets held in U.S. bonds and a smaller portion in non-U.S. bonds and cash equivalents. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund aims to deliver reliable income while mitigating downside risk associated with interest rate fluctuations. It is commonly used as a core fixed-income holding within diversified portfolios, offering a blend of higher yield potential than short-term funds and lower volatility than long-term bond strategies. The fund targets investors who value stability, income generation, and capital preservation over long investment horizons.
