Capital Group, at its discretion, currently waives some of its management fees or absorbs some expenses of certain Capital Group funds. Such waivers and absorptions may be terminated at any time, but can be expected to continue for certain portfolios until such time as such funds are of sufficient size to reasonably absorb all management fees and expenses incurred in their operations.
The management expense ratio for the portfolio is based on audited total expenses for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net assets during the period. Actual MERs may vary. For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the total net asset value of the series was of sufficient size to reasonably absorb all management fees and expenses incurred in the operations of the fund attributable to this series, and therefore there were no waivers or absorptions during this period.

Investment funds are not guaranteed or covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. For investment funds other than money market funds, their values change frequently. For money market funds, there can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you.
