Description

The American Funds Int Bond Fd of America F-1 (IBFFX) aims to generate current income while simultaneously protecting investors' capital. This objective is pursued in alignment with established maturity and credit quality benchmarks. The fund's portfolio typically consists of a mix of bonds, various other debt instruments, and money market securities. These holdings maintain a dollar-weighted average effective maturity that generally falls between three and five years under usual market circumstances. A significant portion of its investments targets high-quality debt securities, meaning those with credit ratings of at least A- (from S&P) or A3 (from Moody's). The fund may also include unrated securities if the investment adviser determines them to possess comparable creditworthiness. Furthermore, its investments are predominantly in debt securities issued in U.S. dollars.
