About TXEFX
American Funds Tax-Exempt Preservation Portfolio Class F-2 is a municipal bond mutual fund designed to provide current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax while emphasizing preservation of capital. The portfolio invests primarily in a mix of American Funds fixed income strategies focused on short- to limited-duration municipal securities, resulting in a conservative interest rate profile and lower volatility versus the broad muni market. It maintains exposure largely to U.S. municipal revenue and general obligation bonds, with revenue bonds representing a significant majority of assets. The fund’s structure concentrates holdings through underlying American Funds muni portfolios, aligning the vehicle with the Muni National Short category and targeting a duration generally under four years. Key characteristics include a relatively low expense profile for its share class, monthly income distributions, and a minimum initial investment suited to a broad investor base. Within the municipal market, this portfolio serves as a tax-aware, capital-preservation option for those seeking federally tax-exempt income with limited interest rate sensitivity and broad diversification across states, sectors, and issuers via its underlying funds.
