Performance Table One Class of after Tax Shown [Text]

After-tax returns are shown only for Class F-3 shares; after-tax returns for other share classes will vary.

Performance Table Closing [Text Block]

The fund was organized for the purpose of effecting the reorganization of Capital Group Global Equity Fund (the “predecessor fund”) into a new Delaware statutory trust. The fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the predecessor fund on November 8, 2019, and the predecessor fund is the accounting and performance survivor of the reorganization. This means that the predecessor fund’s performance and financial history have been adopted by the fund and will be used going forward from the date of reorganization. Except where the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to the “fund” include the predecessor fund prior to November 8, 2019. In connection with the reorganization, former shareholders of the predecessor fund received Class F-3 shares of the fund. The performance of Class F-3 shares of the fund includes the performance of the predecessor fund prior to the reorganization. Class F-3 shares of the fund have the same expenses as shares of the predecessor fund. The inception date shown in the table for Class F-3 shares is that of the predecessor fund.

After-tax returns are shown only for Class F-3 shares; after-tax returns for other share classes will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest individual federal income tax rates in effect during each year of the periods shown and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns depend on your individual tax situation and likely will differ from the results shown above. In addition, after-tax returns are not relevant if you hold your fund shares through a tax-favored arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, individual retirement account (IRA) or 529 college savings plan.
