About RCBEX
American Funds Corporate Bond Fund Class R-5 is an open-end mutual fund specializing in investment-grade corporate debt securities. Its primary objective is to achieve maximum total return while ensuring capital preservation and prudent risk management. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in corporate bonds, notes, and loans, focusing on those with quality ratings of Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or BBB- or higher by S&P. A significant portion of the portfolio, over 80%, is dedicated to corporate debt, with smaller allocations to U.S. Treasury bonds and a minor presence in asset-backed and revenue bonds. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund is designed to provide enhanced income relative to core bond funds, with a monthly dividend distribution and a relatively low expense ratio. By focusing on high quality credit within the corporate sector, the fund plays an important role for investors seeking dedicated exposure to U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds and diversification from equity-based strategies.
