This fund strategically adjusts its asset allocation as it approaches and moves beyond its designated target date, progressively favoring investments in fixed income, equity-income, and balanced funds. To achieve its investment objectives, the portfolio manager constructs a diversified portfolio by investing in a selection of American Funds, dynamically adjusting their proportions and weightings. These constituent American Funds encompass a wide array of categories, including those focused on capital appreciation (growth funds), a blend of growth and income (growth-and-income funds), current income (equity-income funds), comprehensive multi-asset approaches (balanced funds), and stability (fixed income funds). Each of these underlying fund categories pursues distinct investment objectives and employs varied strategies.
