Fixed Income / Core
Core Plus Bond Strategy (CPB)
A balanced approach to core plus investing. The strategy takes a diversified approach to credit, complemented by active rates positioning to drive results. Risk management designed to monitor portfolio diversification.
Overview
Key information
Investment Objectives
The strategy’s investment objective is to provide current income and seek maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital.
Types of Investment
Government debt and agency bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, emerging markets debt, non-U.S., municipals and high-yield.
Distinguishing Characteristics
Collaborative research, diverse perspectives and a long-term view distinguish Capital’s investment approach. This core plus strategy seeks a higher return than core bond strategies while seeking diversification from equities. In addition to strong bottom-up security selection, the strategy can benefit from active rotation across credit sectors alongside active interest rate management.
Portfolio Restrictions
The strategy will generally invest no more than 25% of its assets in securities rated below investment grade (BB+/Ba1 and below, or unrated, but determined by the strategy’s investment adviser to be of equivalent quality) at the time of purchase. The strategy may generally invest up to 10% of its assets in equity securities (including common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants or rights). The strategy may generally invest up to 25% of its assets in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The strategy may generally invest up to 25% of its assets in securities of emerging market issuers.

Risk measures5, 10

| Standard deviationtooltip: Annualized standard deviation (based on monthly returns) is a common measure of absolute volatility that tells how returns over time have varied from the mean. A lower number signifies lower volatility. | |
| CPB (gross/net %) | —/— |
| —tooltip: definition not found. | — |
| Sharpe ratiotooltip: Sharpe ratios use standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the number, the better the portfolio's historical risk-adjusted performance. | |
| CPB (gross/net %) | —/— |
| —tooltip: definition not found. | — |
| R-squared (gross/net)tooltip: R-squared is a measure of the correlation between a particular return and that of a benchmark index. A measure of 100 indicates that all of the return can be explained by movements in the benchmark. Generally the higher the R-squared measure, the more reliable the beta measurement will be. | —/— |
| Alpha (gross/net)tooltip: Alpha is a measure of the difference between a portfolio's actual returns and its expected results, given its level of risk as measured by beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, a negative alpha indicates the portfolio has underperformed, given the expectations established by beta. | —/— |
| Beta (gross/net)tooltip: Beta relatively measures sensitivity to market movements over a specified period of time. The beta of the market (represented by the benchmark index) is equal to 1; a beta higher than 1 implies that a return was more volatile than the market. A beta lower than 1 suggests that a return was less volatile than the market. Generally the higher the R-squared measure, the more reliable the beta measurement will be. | —/— |
| Information ratio (gross/net)tooltip: The information ratio represents the excess return generated (over the market) per unit of relative risk as measured by tracking error. | —/— |
| Downside capture ratio (gross/net)tooltip: Ratio of a portfolio/composite's return during periods when the index was down, divided by the return of the index during those periods. For example, during periods when the index was down, a down-capture ratio greater than 100 indicates the portfolio/composite produced a lower return than the index. | —/— |
| Upside capture ratio (gross/net)tooltip: Ratio of a portfolio/composite's return during periods when the index was up, divided by the return of the index during those periods. For example, an up-capture ratio greater than 100 indicates the portfolio/composite produced a higher return than the index during periods when the index was up. | —/— |

For institutional investors and registered investment advisors only. Not for use with the public.
Figures shown are past results and are not predictive of results in future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely.
Prices and returns will vary, so investors may lose money.

Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.
Data based on the representative account of the Capital Group Core Plus Bond Composite, unless otherwise noted.
Bond ratings, which typically range from AAA/Aaa (highest) to D (lowest), are assigned by credit rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's and/or Fitch, as an indication of an issuer's creditworthiness.
Unless otherwise noted below, if agency ratings differ, a security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with applicable investment policies. Securities in the Unrated category have not been rated by any of the rating agencies referenced above; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with applicable investment policies.
The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds.
Lower rated bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated bonds.
The return of principal for bond portfolios and portfolios with significant underlying bond holdings is not guaranteed. Investments are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings.
Investing outside the United States involves risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries.
There have been periods when the results lagged the index(es) and/or average(s).
The indexes are unmanaged and, therefore, have no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Alpha
Alpha is a measure of the difference between a portfolio's actual returns and its expected results, given its level of risk as measured by beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, a negative alpha indicates the portfolio has underperformed, given the expectations established by beta.

Beta
Beta relatively measures sensitivity to market movements over a specified period of time. The beta of the market (represented by the benchmark index) is equal to 1; a beta higher than 1 implies that a return was more volatile than the market.
