ONE-YEAR TURNOVER (%)6tooltip: Portfolio turnover is the portion of a portfolio's holdings sold and replaced with new securities annually, usually expressed as a percentage of the portfolio's total assets. For example, a portfolio with a turnover of 25% holds assets for an average of about four years, while a portfolio with a turnover of 100% holds assets for one year.
The fund's investment objective is to provide prudent growth of capital and conservation of principal.
Types of investments
The fund invests primarily in common stocks, or securities convertible into common stocks.
Distinguishing characteristics
This global strategy pursues prudent growth of capital and conservation of principal by investing in companies that are predominately based in developed markets. The strategy seeks to provide a smoother return profile over the full market cycle – with less volatility and lower downside capture than the market – by focusing on companies with characteristics associated with long-term growth and resilience to market declines, including strong balance sheets and dividend payments.
Portfolio restrictions
The fund may not invest more than 10% of its net assets in the securities of issuers based in emerging markets.
Holdings outside the U.S.
Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest at least 40% of net assets outside of the U.S. (or at least the level of the MSCI World Index’s ex-U.S. exposure minus 5%, whichever is lower).

Categorytooltip: In an effort to classify funds by what they own, as well as by their prospectus objectives and styles, Morningstar developed Morningstar Categories. While the prospectus objective identifies a fund's investment goals based on the wording in the fund prospectus, the Morningstar Category identifies funds based on their actual investment styles as measured by their underlying portfolio holdings (portfolio and other statistics over the past three years).
12-month distribution rate (at NAV)tooltip: The income per share paid by the fund over the past 12 months to an investor from dividends (including any special dividends). The distribution rate is expressed as a percentage of the current price.7
1.08
30-day SEC yield (gross/net)tooltip: The 30-day SEC yield reflects the rate at which the fund is earning income on its current portfolio of securities calculated according to the standardized SEC formula; when applicable, it reflects the maximum sales charge. If shown, a net yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, the yield would be reduced. Gross yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect.

Risk measures
As of 5/31/26 (updated monthly)
Standard deviation
Standard deviation (%)tooltip: Annualized standard deviation (based on monthly returns) is a common measure of absolute volatility that tells how returns over time have varied from the mean. A lower number signifies lower volatility.
RGLGX

Sharpe ratio
Sharpe ratiotooltip: Sharpe ratios use standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the number, the better the portfolio's historical risk-adjusted performance.
RGLGX
1.05
—tooltip:
—
R-squared (%)tooltip: R-squared is a measure of the correlation between a particular return and that of a benchmark index. A measure of 100 indicates that all of the return can be explained by movements in the benchmark. Generally the higher the R-squared measure, the more reliable the beta measurement will be.
94.63
Alphatooltip: Alpha is a measure of the difference between a portfolio's actual returns and its expected results, given its level of risk as measured by beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, a negative alpha indicates the portfolio has underperformed, given the expectations established by beta.
-2.18
Betatooltip: Beta relatively measures sensitivity to market movements over a specified period of time. The beta of the market (represented by the benchmark index) is equal to 1; a beta higher than 1 implies that a return was more volatile than the market. A beta lower than 1 suggests that a return was less volatile than the market. Generally the higher the R-squared measure, the more reliable the beta measurement will be.
0.92
Information ratiotooltip: The information ratio represents the excess return generated (over the market) per unit of relative risk as measured by tracking error.
-1.34
Downside capture ratio (%)tooltip: Ratio of a portfolio/composite's return during periods when the index was down, divided by the return of the index during those periods. For example, during periods when the index was down, a down-capture ratio greater than 100 indicates the portfolio/composite produced a lower return than the index.
95
Upside capture ratio (%)tooltip: Ratio of a portfolio/composite's return during periods when the index was up, divided by the return of the index during those periods. For example, an up-capture ratio greater than 100 indicates the portfolio/composite produced a higher return than the index during periods when the index was up.
87
Tracking error (%)tooltip: The tracking error is the standard deviation of the difference between the returns of an investment and its benchmark.
2.95
S&P 500 correlationtooltip: Correlation describes the strength of the association between a return and a benchmark. Correlation is shown on a scale from 1 to -1. The higher the positive correlation, the more closely the return and the benchmark moved relative to one another. The lower the negative correlation, the more the return and the benchmark diverged from one another.
0.92
MSCI ACWI correlationtooltip: Correlation describes the strength of the association between a return and a benchmark. Correlation is shown on a scale from 1 to -1. The higher the positive correlation, the more closely the return and the benchmark moved relative to one another. The lower the negative correlation, the more the return and the benchmark diverged from one another.

Figures shown are past results and are not predictive of results in future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely.
Prices and returns will vary, so investors may lose money.

View current mutual fund SEC yields.
Active Share is determined by (1) differences in stock weightings between the fund and the fund's primary benchmark shown in the prospectus (2) inclusion of stocks outside of the benchmark, and (3) exclusion of stocks in the benchmark.
Active Share is neither a predictor of future returns nor a measure of manager skill. Since it measures the difference between a fund's holdings and its benchmark, it could be used in conjunction with other indicators as a measure of portfolio risk or to compare the management fees charged by actively managed funds. While an active share greater than zero is needed to provide returns above the benchmark, there is no indication a particular level of active share has resulted in higher returns than the fund's index. A fund's active share can change significantly over time, thus measuring a single point in time may not be reflective of longer periods.
The Capital Group portfolios are managed by multiple portfolio managers who invest based on their highest convictions. The result is a diversified portfolio based on the collection of managers' individual investment decisions. A fund's active share is the product of this process and is not comparable to the active share produced by a fund managed by an individual or a committee of investors. The funds are managed based on their investment objectives and strategies described in the prospectus; managing to active share is not part of any fund's strategy.
Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.
Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.
This and other important information is contained in the mutual fund prospectuses and/or summary prospectuses, which can be obtained from a financial professional and should be read carefully before investing.
Investing outside the United States involves risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries.
Capital Group offers some funds in a range of share classes designed to meet the needs of retirement plan sponsors and participants. The different share classes incorporate varying levels of financial professional compensation and service provider payments.
Because Class R-6 shares do not include any recordkeeping payments, expenses are lower and results are higher. Other share classes that include recordkeeping costs have higher expenses and lower results than Class R-6.
There have been periods when the results lagged the index(es) and/or average(s).
The indexes are unmanaged and, therefore, have no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Past results are not a guarantee of results in future periods. The Morningstar Ratings are based on the share classes of each underlying fund held by the series; other underlying fund share classes may have different performance characteristics.

Accrued income and the timing of its settlement, as well as classification of convertible bonds as debt or equity, can cause slight variations in the balances displayed in different portfolio composition breakdowns.

The Morningstar Ownership Zone™ provides detail about a portfolio's equity investment style by showing the range of stock sizes and styles. A portfolio's Ownership Zone™ is derived by plotting each stock in the fund's portfolio within the proprietary Morningstar Style Box™. The shaded area represents the center 75% of the fund's assets, and it provides an intuitive visual representation of the area of the market in which the fund invests. A "centroid" plot in the middle of the Ownership Zone represents the weighted average of all the fund's holdings. A fund that is concentrated will have a small ownership zone relative to the area of the style box, and broadly diversified fund will have an ownership zone that stretches across many sizes and style. Over a period of time, the shape and location of a fund's ownership zone may vary.
13.
Figures include convertible securities. The equity breakdown by revenue reflects the portfolio's publicly traded equity holdings and excludes cash (and fixed income securities, if applicable). Underlying revenue data were compiled by MSCI and account for disparities in the way companies report their revenues across geographic segments. MSCI breaks out each company's reported revenues into country-by-country estimates. MSCI provides revenue data figures based on a proprietary, standardized model. Revenue exposure at the portfolio and index level was calculated by using FactSet, which takes these company revenue exposures and multiplies by the company's weighting in the portfolio and index. In this breakdown, Israel has been included in Europe.
