- To offer investors more choice and flexibility while they pursue their long-term financial goals, we’re expanding our ETF product lineup and recently launched three new fixed income funds: Capital Group Short Duration Income ETF (CGSD), Capital Group U.S. Multi-Sector Income ETF (CGMS) and Capital Group Municipal Income ETF (CGMU).
- Designed to help strengthen investors’ portfolios where it matters most, our ETFs are objective-oriented funds that seek better investment outcomes in a variety of markets.
- Capital Group ETFs are active transparent funds that combine our strengths as an active manager with the benefits of the ETF vehicle.
Occupying the long-ignored space between passive ETFs that intend to replicate market returns and some active ETFs that target niche allocations, Capital Group active transparent ETFs focus on investors’ enduring needs. While they’re different from the American Funds, some of our ETFs are based on seasoned strategies, and all leverage The Capital System™, our distinct investment approach. The result? ETFs that combine our strengths as an active manager to pursue better-than-average outcomes while offering the benefits of the ETF vehicle.
We’re committed to growing our ETF suite to offer investors more choice and flexibility while pursuing their long-term financial goals. In keeping with that commitment, we recently added three new fixed income ETFs to help tailor fixed income allocations to individual investors’ needs. To varying degrees, the new funds — Capital Group Short Duration Income ETF (CGSD), Capital Group U.S. Multi-Sector Income ETF (CGMS) and Capital Group Municipal Income ETF (CGMU) — all aim to fulfill the four roles of fixed income: diversification from equities, inflation protection, capital preservation and income. Learn more about the funds below.
