Review your alertsAmerican Funds International Growth and Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund managed by Capital Research and Management Company that seeks long-term growth of capital while providing current income. It primarily invests in stocks of larger, well-established companies domiciled outside the United States, with a portfolio heavily weighted toward non-U.S. equities comprising about 94.5% of net assets. The fund offers geographic diversification across regions including Europe and the Middle East, Japan, emerging markets excluding China, Canada, China, and Asia-Pacific excluding Japan, alongside sectors such as financials, industrials, information technology, consumer staples, and consumer discretionary. Designed for conservative investors pursuing international opportunities, it balances growth potential with dividend income for added stability, making it suitable for portfolio diversification beyond U.S. markets.
