About REGHX
American Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund – Class R-2E is an open‑end mutual fund focused on emerging markets debt. Its stated objective is to deliver a high level of total return over the long term, with current income as a significant component. The strategy invests across sovereign and corporate issuers in developing economies and may hold bonds denominated in U.S. dollars or local currencies, providing diversified exposure to interest rate, credit, and currency dynamics in emerging markets. The portfolio has emphasized non‑U.S. government and agency securities alongside corporate bonds, reflecting a broad approach to the asset class. Managed by Capital Group, the fund applies a research‑driven process to identify opportunities across countries and sectors, seeking to balance yield generation with risk management typical of emerging markets fixed income. Class R-2E is designed for retirement plan platforms and carries a total expense ratio that includes management, other operating, and 12b‑1 service fees. By aggregating hard‑currency and local‑currency debt exposures, the fund serves as a dedicated vehicle for investors aiming to access the income and diversification characteristics of emerging markets bonds within a single, actively managed mandate.
