About RGVFX
American Funds U.S. Government Securities Fund Class R-5 is a mutual fund focused on providing a high level of current income while maintaining prudent investment risk and capital preservation. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in securities backed or guaranteed by the U.S. government—including Treasury bonds, notes, and mortgage-backed obligations. The remaining allocation may include highly rated mortgage- and asset-backed securities, as well as selected securities issued by government agencies that are not fully government-guaranteed. Serving retirement plans and institutional investors, the fund emphasizes minimal credit risk through its holdings in government-backed instruments and maintains a moderate interest rate sensitivity with an effective duration around 6.4 years. Regular monthly dividends and a low expense ratio further distinguish its value proposition for retirement plan sponsors seeking reliable income and a conservative fixed income core. With a significant asset base, the fund plays an important role in the intermediate government bond fund segment, offering broad exposure to U.S. government securities for diversification and stability within retirement portfolios.
