Valuation disclosures
Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”), the fund’s investment adviser, values the fund’s investments at fair value as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The net asset value per share is calculated once
daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4 p.m. New York time, each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
Security transactions are recorded by the fund as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Assets and liabilities, including
investment securities, denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates supplied by one or
more pricing vendors on the valuation date.
Methods and inputs — The fund’s investment adviser uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of the fund’s assets and liabilities. Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic
conditions evolve.
Equity securities, including depositary receipts, are generally valued at the official closing price of, or the last reported
sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking
any sales, at the last available bid price. Prices for each security are taken from the principal exchange or market on which the security trades.

Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities, are generally valued at evaluated prices obtained from third-party
pricing vendors. Vendors value such securities based on one or more of the inputs described in the following table. The table provides examples of
inputs that are commonly relevant for valuing particular classes of fixed-income securities in which the fund is authorized to invest. However, these
classifications are not exclusive, and any of the inputs may be used to value any other class of fixed-income security.

Securities with both fixed-income and equity characteristics, or equity securities traded principally among fixed-income dealers,
are generally valued in the manner described for either equity or fixed-income securities, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate by the fund’s investment adviser. The Capital Group Central Cash Fund (“CCF”), a fund within the Capital Group Central Fund Series (“Central Funds“), is valued based upon a floating net asset value, which fluctuates with changes in the value of CCF’s portfolio securities. The underlying securities are valued based on the policies and procedures in CCF’s statement of additional information.
Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the fund’s investment adviser are fair valued as determined in good faith under fair valuation guidelines adopted by the fund’s investment adviser and approved by the board of trustees as further described. The investment adviser follows fair valuation guidelines, consistent with U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission rules and guidance, to consider relevant principles and factors when making fair value determinations. The investment
adviser considers relevant indications of value that are reasonably and timely available to it in determining the fair value to be assigned
to a particular security, such as the type and cost of the security, contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security, relevant financial or business
developments of the issuer, actively traded similar or related securities, dealer or broker quotes, conversion or exchange rights on the security, related
corporate actions, significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security, and changes in overall market conditions. In addition,
the closing prices of equity securities that trade in markets outside U.S. time zones may be adjusted to reflect significant events that occur after the
close of local trading but before the net asset value of each share class of the fund is determined. Fair valuations of investments that are not actively
trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.
Processes and structure — The fund’s board of trustees has designated the fund’s investment adviser to make fair value determinations, subject to board oversight. The investment adviser has established a Joint Fair Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process and to make fair value decisions. The Committee regularly reviews its own fair value decisions,
as well as decisions made under its standing instructions to the investment adviser’s valuation team. The Committee reviews changes in fair value measurements from period to period, pricing vendor information and market data, and may, as deemed appropriate, update the fair valuation guidelines to
better reflect the results of back testing and address new or evolving issues. Pricing decisions, processes and controls over security valuation are
also subject to additional internal reviews facilitated by the investment adviser’s global risk management group. The Committee reports changes to the fair valuation guidelines to the board of trustees. The fund’s board and audit committee also regularly review reports that describe fair value determinations and methods.

Classifications — The fund’s investment adviser classifies the fund’s assets and liabilities into three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets or liabilities. Level 1 values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 values are based
on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar securities and quoted prices in inactive markets. Certain securities trading
outside the U.S. may transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 due to valuation adjustments resulting from significant market movements following the
close of local trading. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the investment adviser’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the securities. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the
risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. For example, U.S. government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine
fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market. The following table presents the fund’s valuation levels as of March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):
