Multi-asset investments at Capital Group

Beauty beyond your expectations

To many, multi-asset investment may simply mean gaining exposure to a diverse mix of asset classes in one single portfolio. However, at Capital Group, multi-asset investment is much more than just a well-diversified portfolio. By offering you our best-in-class research capability and investment expertise, we are dedicated to providing you a smooth investment journey and robust risk-adjusted results over the long term.

Double layers of diversification

At Capital Group, diversification is not only achieved by blending different asset classes together but is also enhanced by the diversity embedded in our distinctive Capital System^TM.

Double layers of diversification

The Capital System^TM - The power of diversity

Our multi-asset portfolios are not only invested flexibly across different asset classes, but they are also divided into segments that are managed independently by individual managers via The Capital System^TM . This time-tested approach does not only offer double layers of diversification but is also designed to attain management continuity and consistent long-term returns for our investors.

“The firm's multimanager system drives its success. Dividing each fund into independently run sleeves lets managers invest in line with their styles, enhancing diversification and reducing the overall portfolio's volatility.”

— Morningstar’s “The Best Fund Companies and their Ratings,” dated 28 January 2020

Extensive research capability

Few firms can match our scale and scope

We combine on-the-ground research with comprehensive macro analysis around the world, covering both equity and fixed income.

Collaborative research

Our equity and fixed-income analysts work closely together, pooling research. The blending of the diverse perspectives of these two groups of analysts has enabled us to see ‘both sides of the balance sheet’. Such a process has the potential to deliver compelling investment ideas and gives our portfolio managers a broader, deeper understanding of risk.

“When I meet and research companies, I am looking at everything from both a bond and equity perspective.”

Past results are not a guarantee of future results. Invested capital is at risk; these strategies aim to achieve a positive return over the long term although there is no guarantee this will be achieved over that or any time period. For illustrative purposes only.

Results are net of management fees and expenses for a representative Luxembourg fund share class (Z). Peer group is defined as the Morningstar category for each strategy. Return statistic is the percentage of Capital Group Luxembourg funds, or strategies where there is an insufficient track record for the analysis, in which the average annual total return exceeded the peer group median. Capital Group strategies in the three-year period: 3 multi-asset; five-year period: 3 multi-asset; and in the eight-year period: 3 multi-asset. In the case of investors investing with the help of a distributor or intermediary, Class Z shares would only apply to distributors and intermediaries who are directly compensated by investors through separate fee arrangements.
