A refined investment process

The strategy’s seven-decade history has its roots in a Washington, D.C., court case following the Great Depression, which established a list of high-quality stocks appropriate for investors. Rigorous screening criteria are used to establish a list of eligible stocks that meet stringent financial requirements and have a consistent record of earnings and dividends.


MANY ARE CALLED, FEW ARE CHOSEN

This graphic shows a funnel depicting the eligibility process for the Capital Group Washington Mutual Investors strategy. The top of the funnel is light blue and represents the approximately 2,400 companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The funnel then narrows to a green section meant to represent the 745 NYSE-listed companies that met the strategy's rigorous investment standards as of January 3, 2023. Finally, at the bottom of the funnel is a narrow blue box meant to represent the number of companies held, which is approximately 1/4 of the 745 companies that were eligible.
