How Target Date Funds Work
Investments in the MyCompass American Funds target date series are allocated among a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds. Investors select a target date fund, typically the one nearest their anticipated retirement date. Over time, that fund's mix of stocks and bonds will shift toward more conservative investments. This gradual shift over time is called a "glidepath."
Here's how it works:
- Larger allocation to stock investments throughout your investing lifetime can help manage the risk of outliving your savings in retirement.
- An increased emphasis on bonds as you near your retirement date can help manage the risk of market declines.
- The fund is managed beyond retirement, so you could possibly use a single fund for decades.

Approach to Building and Preserving Wealth:
The Series is made up of a mix of underlying American Funds with varying objectives and risk. All of the funds are actively managed, with Capital Group professionals seeking to deliver superior returns while managing risk.
The Series features multi-asset and global funds that empower underlying fund managers to shift between equities and fixed income as well as U.S. and non-U.S. equities in response to market conditions. Certain funds allow market capitalization flexibility as well.
The Series places a greater emphasis on dividend-paying (or equity-income) stocks over time in an effort to provide more equity exposure while managing volatility. This approach can also help to reduce the risk of outliving your savings by maintaining exposure to equities later in life.
In addition to a focus on asset classes (such as equities and bonds), our Series is built from a mix of funds tied to certain investor objectives of their own.
Bonds funds anchor the glide path by seeking to provide diversification from equities, seeking a degree of inflation protection, capital preservation and income depending on the stage of life.
The Series Features a "Glide Path Within a Glide Path" Approach
