About REGAX

American Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund Class R-1 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on fixed income securities from developing economies. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of total return over the long term, with current income as a major component, by investing broadly across government, quasi-sovereign, and corporate bonds in both U.S. dollar and local-currency formats. The strategy is overseen by Capital Research and Management Company and emphasizes diversified exposure to non‑U.S. government/agency issues alongside emerging-markets corporates, with modest allocations to U.S. Treasuries and cash for liquidity and risk management. Within the emerging-markets bond category, the fund balances credit and interest-rate risk at a medium/moderate level and maintains an effective duration profile consistent with its mandate. Class R‑1 shares are designed for retirement platforms, carrying a higher expense ratio relative to other share classes of the same strategy, reflecting plan-servicing features. The fund plays a role in portfolios seeking income diversification beyond developed-market debt, offering access to a wide opportunity set across regions, currencies, and issuers within the emerging-markets fixed income universe.
