American Funds 2010 Target Date Retirement Fund®
Retirement Target Date
Overview
American Funds 2010 Target Date Retirement Fund may be appropriate for investors seeking:
- A prudent way to save for retirement in a single fund
- An investment that adjusts over time to meet their changing needs
- A portfolio of American Funds designed for someone retiring around 2010
Objective
Depending on the proximity to its target date, which we define as the year that corresponds roughly to the year in which the investor expects to retire, the fund will seek to achieve the following objectives to varying degrees: growth, income and conservation of capital. The fund will increasingly emphasize income and conservation of capital by investing a greater portion of its assets in fixed income, equity-income and balanced funds as it continues past its target date. In this way, the fund seeks to balance total return and stability over time.

The fund is managed by Capital Research and Management Company, one of the nation’s oldest, largest investment management firms. Since 1931, Capital Research has invested with a long-term focus based on thorough research and attention to risk.

Class R-6 shares were first offered on 5/1/09 and are sold without a sales charge. Class R-6 share returns prior to the date of first sale are hypothetical. Hypothetical returns prior to the date of first sale were calculated by adjusting Class A share returns without a sales charge for the difference between the Class A share expense ratio and the estimated Class R-6 share expense ratio as of the date of first sale. See the dates of first sale and expense adjustments for Class R-6 shares. The investment adviser has waived management fees for target date funds since their inception on 2/1/07. The investment adviser waived a portion of its management fees from 9/1/04 through 12/31/08 and reimbursed certain expenses for some funds. When applicable, hypothetical returns reflect the waivers and/or reimbursements, without which results would have been lower. Please see the fund prospectus for more information about specific expenses.
