Description

This fund is designed to pursue a combination of capital appreciation, income generation, and the preservation of principal. As it approaches and eventually passes its target retirement date, the portfolio's allocation typically shifts to emphasize a greater proportion of fixed-income, equity-income, and balanced investment vehicles. The fund manager seeks to accomplish these objectives by strategically investing in a diverse mix of other American Funds, employing various combinations and weightings. These underlying American Funds encompass a wide range of investment categories, such as those focused on growth, growth-and-income, equity income, balanced strategies, and fixed income, each with its own distinct investment goals.
