About RGVCX
American Funds U.S. Government Securities Fund Class R-3 is an open-end mutual fund specializing in the government bond sector. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of current income while maintaining prudent investment risk and capital preservation. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities either guaranteed or sponsored by the U.S. government, such as Treasury notes, Treasury bills, and obligations from agencies like the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association. It may also allocate up to 20% to mortgage- and asset-backed securities, provided these hold the highest credit ratings at purchase. Distinguished by its focus on minimizing credit risk, the fund aims to appeal to investors seeking income stability and safety of principal. With regular monthly dividends and a track record spanning decades since its inception in 1985, it serves as a core fixed-income option for retirement and conservative investment strategies. As of early 2025, the fund manages over $23 billion in assets, maintaining a portfolio predominantly composed of U.S. government-related bonds and mortgage-backed obligations, reflecting its critical role in providing liquidity and stability within the broader bond market.
