This fund is designed to deliver a combination of capital appreciation, current income, and the preservation of principal. It follows a dynamic allocation strategy, gradually shifting a greater portion of its investments into more conservative assets such as fixed income, income-generating equities, and balanced funds as it nears and passes its designated target year. To achieve its investment goals, the advisor constructs a diversified portfolio by investing in a selection of other American Funds, applying varying proportions and weightings. These underlying holdings encompass a wide range of fund categories, including those focused on aggressive growth, growth with income, equity income, balanced strategies, and fixed income, each with distinct investment objectives.
