About RMDUX
American Funds Multi-Sector Income Fund Class R-6 is an actively managed open-end bond fund designed to deliver a high level of current income with a secondary goal of capital appreciation. It allocates across a broad spectrum of fixed income markets, including investment-grade and high-yield corporates, emerging market debt, and securitized sectors such as mortgage- and asset-backed securities, with opportunistic exposure to U.S. government and municipal bonds. The portfolio emphasizes diversified credit sources and intermediate-rate sensitivity, reflecting an effective duration around the mid‑4‑year range and a multi-curve approach to income generation. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the strategy draws on a large analyst platform and seeks through-cycle income with lower equity correlation than standalone high-yield or emerging markets offerings. Regular monthly distributions, wide issuer diversification, and dynamic sector rotation position the fund as a core-plus income solution for retirement plans and institutional platforms, aiming to balance yield, credit selection, and risk management across varying market conditions.
