Past results are not predictive of results in future periods. It is not possible to invest directly in an index, which is unmanaged. The value of investments and income from them can go down as well as up and you may lose some or all of your initial investment.

Capital Group manages equity assets through three investment groups. These groups make investment and proxy voting decisions independently.
