About UGSCX

American Funds U.S. Government Securities Fund Class C is a mutual fund focused primarily on providing a high level of current income while maintaining prudent investment risk and preservation of capital. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. government securities—this includes a significant allocation to both U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, as well as mortgage-backed obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. As of June 2025, key holdings consisted of approximately 46% mortgage-backed obligations and 42% U.S. Treasury securities. The fund aims for minimal credit risk by focusing on securities backed by the U.S. government or holding the highest quality ratings. It pays dividends monthly and has a modest minimum investment requirement. With a portfolio effective duration of around 6.4 years, the fund is suited for investors seeking steady income, lower credit risk exposure, and capital preservation within the fixed-income sector. Class C shares feature higher expense ratios due to ongoing distribution and service fees, and they are structured to convert into Class A shares after a set holding period.
