About RMDTX
American Funds Multi-Sector Income Fund Class R-5 is an open-end bond fund designed to deliver a high level of current income with a secondary goal of capital appreciation. It employs a flexible, multi-sector approach that allocates across the credit spectrum, including investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, emerging market debt, and securitized sectors such as mortgage- and asset-backed securities, with opportunistic use of U.S. government, municipal, and non-corporate credit. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the strategy blends diversified income sources to moderate volatility relative to single-sector high-yield or emerging market debt funds while targeting consistent distributions. As of mid-2025, the portfolio skews toward corporate credit alongside meaningful allocations to mortgage-backed and asset-backed obligations, complemented by selective sovereign exposure, and it pays dividends on a monthly schedule. The fund’s risk and return profile is contextualized against broad bond market benchmarks, with intermediate effective duration and yield metrics reflecting its multi-sector positioning and active management focus on income generation and credit selection.
