About RERFX
American Funds EUPAC Fund Class R-5 is a diversified mutual fund focused on long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equities outside the United States. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, one of the industry’s established investment managers, the fund targets developed and emerging markets across Europe and the Pacific Basin, with a portfolio typically containing a broad range of companies from large multinationals to smaller firms. The fund aligns with the “Foreign Large Growth” category, emphasizing growth-oriented stocks with strong earnings and sales growth metrics, high market capitalizations, and international exposure—often maintaining less than 20% of assets in U.S. equities.
With an inception dating back to 1984, the fund has built a legacy of delivering international diversification benefits and capturing growth opportunities across major non-U.S. economies. Notable sector weights include technology, healthcare, industrials, and financial services, with top holdings featuring globally recognized firms such as TSMC, Novo Nordisk, and Airbus. The fund is known for its competitive expense ratio, semi-annual dividend distributions, and a disciplined, research-driven investment approach. As such, it plays a crucial role for investors seeking to broaden their portfolios beyond domestic markets and participate in the growth dynamics of international regions.
