Get information about the ways you can withdraw shares.
You may withdraw money from your account at any time, although online and phone redemptions are not available for certain types of accounts. You should always talk to your financial professional before selling shares. He or she can offer advice and help you make decisions that fit your long-term financial plan.
You can sell shares on our website or by contacting us. See Options for Managing Your Account for details.
When you sell shares, the price you will receive is the next closing net asset value. This value may be more or less than your original purchase price, so please keep in mind that the sale may trigger a gain or loss for tax purposes.
The maximum daily redemption amount is $125,000 per shareholder. Redemption checks will be mailed to the address on your account, provided that address has not changed in the last 10 days. If sending funds directly to a bank account, any new instructions or updates will be subject to a 10-calendar-day hold before using this option.
Redemption checks will be mailed the next business day if the request is received before the close of the New York Stock Exchange® (NYSE). If you have linked your bank account to receive electronic deposits, the redemption amount will be automatically deposited into your bank account within 3 business days.
You could lose money by investing in American Funds® U.S. Government Money Market Fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will at any time.
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 fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses, which can be obtained from a financial professional and should be read carefully before investing.
The value of fixed income securities may be affected by changing interest rates and changes in credit ratings of the securities.
