Newsroom Capital Group Announces Major Investment to Expand Advisor Support & Deepen Client Partnerships, Creating New Client Hubs in New York and Los Angeles

Firm to hire 130 advisor-support professionals, starting immediately 
 

LOS ANGELES, April 2, 2026 – Capital Group, one of the world’s largest and most experienced active managers, today announced a significant, multi‑year investment to expand how it supports financial advisors and their clients, reinforcing the firm’s long-standing belief in the value of professional advice and its commitment to being a trusted partner in an increasingly complex investment landscape.
 

The firm plans to invest up to $70 million per year to expand its client-facing capabilities, including the addition of approximately 130 new sales and sales support roles over the next two years that will include licensed professionals, product specialists and early career talent. This investment will grow Capital Group’s U.S. client-facing organization that directly works with financial professionals from roughly 470 to 600 associates, marking one of the largest people investments in the firm’s client facing platform to date.
 

As part of the initiative, Capital Group is establishing new coastal client hubs in New York and Los Angeles, complementing its existing presence. The expanded footprint is designed to increase proximity to advisors, and deliver deeper, more specialized support. This follows the announcement last week that Capital Group has entered into an agreement to purchase its Los Angeles headquarters.
 

“We have been working with financial advisors since the 1940s,” said Matt O’Connor, CEO of Capital Group’s Client Group. “At our core, we believe investors achieve better outcomes with professional advice. Advisors are being asked to do more than ever, navigating more complex markets, managing growing practices and serving as trusted guides to their clients.

“This investment reflects our conviction that strong, human-centered partnerships matter, and that now is the right time to lean into one of our greatest strengths. As a private company, when others are stepping back, we are prioritizing talent and long-term client needs. We’re focused on delivering two primary services to our advisors, solutions that can provide superior investment results over the long-term and true business partnership.”

Today, about 75% of all U.S. advisors have Capital Group or American Funds assets in their client portfolios. Since inception, 84% of Capital Group’s equity and multi-asset strategies and 74% of fixed income strategies have beaten their benchmarks net of fees.¹

“We’re seeing advisors and firms prioritize depth over breadth in their relationships,” O’Connor added. “They want partners who can show up consistently, understand their business, and help them serve clients better. This expansion allows us to do exactly that, with greater impact. Our focus is simple, be accessible, be relevant, and be the partner advisors trust to help them succeed, today and over the long term.”

Based on applicable composite results, and in cases where a composite includes only one fund, applicable fund results, compared to each composite’s/fund’s assigned benchmark. Strategies offered primarily by Capital Group Private Client Services are excluded. Gross results were calculated without the deduction of fees and expenses; results would have been lower if they were subject to fees and expenses.
