Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management's discussion of fund performance
The fund’s Class A shares gained 7.09% for the year ended August 31, 2024. That result compares with a 7.11% gain for the Bloomberg 75% Government Credit 1-7 Years 25% Securitized Index. For information on returns for additional periods, including the fund lifetime, please refer to
capitalgroup.com/mutual-fund-returns-A
.
What factors influenced results
Expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will begin cutting the federal funds rate contributed to a notable decline in Treasury bond yields, which pushed bond prices higher. The Fed’s potential move comes as inflation has cooled, hitting a three-year low in August, and hiring has slowed. Corporate issuance continued apace during the period.
Within the fund, each sector contributed positively to overall returns. The fund’s holdings in mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities were particularly additive to results during the period. Corporate bonds also helped the fund’s absolute returns.
The fund’s overall duration positively contributed to relative returns compared to the benchmark. However, its strategic allocation of bond investments across different maturities, known as yield curve positioning, slightly detracted from results. This was due to less favorable yield movements for longer-duration securities compared to shorter-duration ones amid the yield curve shifts during the period.

Effective July 24, 2024, the fund’s primary benchmark changed from the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit 1–7 Years ex BBB Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index, a broad-based index that represents the overall applicable securities market, as required by the SEC. There is no change in the fund’s investment strategies as a result of the benchmark change. The fund has selected the

75% Government Credit 1–7 Years 25% Securitized Index to replace the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit 1–7 Years ex BBB Index as its secondary market index. The fund’s investment adviser believes that the Bloomberg 75% Government Credit 1–7 Years 25% Securitized Index provides a means to compare the fund’s results to a benchmark that is more representative of the fund’s investment universe.

Management's discussion of fund performance
The fund’s Class F-2 shares gained 7.41% for the year ended August 31, 2024. That result compares with a 7.11% gain for the Bloomberg 75% Government Credit 1-7 Years 25% Securitized Index. For information on
returns
for additional periods, including the fund lifetime, please refer to
capitalgroup.com/mutual-fund-returns-F2
.
What factors influenced results
Expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will begin cutting the federal funds rate contributed to a notable decline in Treasury bond yields, which pushed bond prices higher. The Fed’s potential move comes as inflation has cooled, hitting a three-year low in August, and hiring has slowed. Corporate issuance continued apace during the period.
Within the fund, each sector contributed positively to overall returns. The fund’s holdings in mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities were particularly additive to results during the period. Corporate bonds also helped the fund’s absolute returns.
The fund’s overall duration positively contributed to relative returns compared to the benchmark. However, its strategic allocation of bond investments across different maturities, known as yield curve positioning, slightly detracted from results. This was due to less favorable yield movements for longer-duration securities compared to shorter-duration ones amid the yield curve shifts during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management's discussion of fund performance
The fund’s Class R-2 shares gained 6.32% for the year ended August 31, 2024. That result compares with a 7.11% gain for the Bloomberg 75% Government Credit 1-7 Years 25% Securitized Index. For information on returns for additional periods, including the fund lifetime, please refer to
capitalgroup.com/mutual-fund-returns-R2
.
What factors influenced results
Expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will begin cutting the federal funds rate contributed to a notable decline in Treasury bond yields, which pushed bond prices higher. The Fed’s potential move comes as inflation has cooled, hitting a three-year low in August, and hiring has slowed. Corporate issuance continued apace during the period.
Within the fund, each sector contributed positively to overall returns. The fund’s holdings in mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities were particularly additive to results during the period. Corporate bonds also helped the fund’s absolute returns.
The fund’s overall duration positively contributed to relative returns compared to the benchmark. However, its strategic allocation of bond investments across different maturities, known as yield curve positioning, slightly detracted from results. This was due to less favorable yield movements for longer-duration securities compared to shorter-duration ones amid the yield curve shifts during the period.

Within the fund, each sector contributed positively to overall returns. The fund’s holdings in mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities were particularly additive to results during the period. Corporate bonds also helped the fund’s absolute returns.
The fund’s overall duration positively contributed to relative returns compared to the benchmark. However, its strategic allocation of bond investments across different maturities, known as yield curve positioning, slightly detracted from results. This was due to less favorable yield movements for longer-duration securities compared to shorter-duration ones amid the yield curve shifts during the period.

Management's discussion of fund performance
The fund’s Class 529-C shares gained 6.23% for the year ended August 31, 2024. That result compares with a 7.11% gain for the Bloomberg 75% Government Credit 1-7 Years 25% Securitized Index. For information on returns for additional periods, including the fund lifetime, please refer to
capitalgroup.com/mutual-fund-returns-529C
.
What factors influenced results
Expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will begin cutting the federal funds rate contributed to a notable decline in Treasury bond yields, which pushed bond prices higher. The Fed’s potential move comes as inflation has cooled, hitting a three-year low in August, and hiring has slowed. Corporate issuance continued apace during the period.
Within the fund, each sector contributed positively to overall returns. The fund’s holdings in mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities were particularly additive to results during the period. Corporate bonds also helped the fund’s absolute returns.
The fund’s overall duration positively contributed to relative returns compared to the benchmark. However, its strategic allocation of bond investments across different maturities, known as yield curve positioning, slightly detracted from results. This was due to less favorable yield movements for longer-duration securities compared to shorter-duration ones amid the yield curve shifts during the period.
