The 10-year investment result for American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund includes the fund’s results as a money market fund through the date of its conversion (August 7, 2009) to a short-term tax-exempt bond fund, and therefore is not representative of the fund’s results had it operated as a short-term tax-exempt bond fund for the full term of that period. Investment results assume all distributions are reinvested and reflect applicable fees and expenses. When applicable, investment results reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, without which results would have been lower. The investment adviser is currently reimbursing a portion of other expenses for American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York. Investment results reflect the reimbursement, without which the results would have been lower. This reimbursement will be in effect through at least January 1, 2018, unless modified or terminated by the fund’s board. The adviser may elect at its discretion to extend, modify or terminate the reimbursement at that time. Visit americanfunds.com for more information.

Fellow investors:

 

This report covers the results of American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York for the six months ended January 31, 2017.

 

Volatility returned to the municipal bond market during the first half of the funds’ fiscal year as investors weighed the potential impact of the U.S. presidential election, strengthening economic conditions and rising interest rates. The market was further pressured by a record level of municipal bond issuance in 2016. Against this backdrop, all six funds registered declines, ranging from –0.92% for American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund to –3.77% for American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund. (See pages 4 through 10 for fund specific results and information.)

 

Economic and market overview

The first half of the fiscal year began as the prior ended, with a strong showing for municipal bond markets on the whole. In August, the unmanaged Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a broad measure of the tax-exempt investment-grade market (bonds rated BBB/Baa and above), recorded its 14th consecutive month of positive returns. By September, however, that trend reversed sharply and the tax-exempt market experienced a high level of volatility.

 

This abrupt shift in market sentiment was attributable to several factors, including upbeat economic news. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose an annualized rate of 3.5% in the third quarter of 2016, up from 1.4% in the second. Wages also improved, climbing nearly 3.0% year over year in December. In response to expectations for tax cuts and a pro-growth agenda from the new administration, bond yields spiked in November and December.

 

Inflation expectations also increased significantly. In December, U.S. consumer prices rose 2.1% on a year-over-year basis, the largest inflation bump since June 2014. In a widely anticipated move, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate to a range of 0.50%–0.75% in mid-December. Longer term interest rates also rose during the period, depressing U.S. Treasury bond prices. Tax-exempt bonds sold off along with the broader bond market.

 

Municipal bond issuance reached an all-time high in 2016, further pressuring the market. The year’s $445 billion in offerings — driven by refundings mid-year as issuers looked to take advantage of low borrowing costs — eclipsed the old record of $433 billion set in 2010. After experiencing inflows for the first 10 months of the year, muni fund flows turned negative in November and December, further contributing to the volatility.

 

In the closing weeks of the period however, fund flows turned positive

again, helping drive a modest muni market rebound.

 

In general, municipal bonds of lower credit quality suffered more pronounced declines than higher rated issues, and longer term bonds tended to trail those with shorter maturities. Given the accelerating growth of the U.S. economy and anticipation of the Fed’s rate hike in December, most of the funds covered in this report entered the period with a conservative approach, maintaining a relatively short duration position. This helped mitigate the worst of the declines during the heightened volatility that characterized the final months of the calendar year. That said, the funds tended to lag the broader market during the rebound that occurred during the closing weeks of the period.

 

Looking ahead

As we look to the months ahead, there remains a great deal of uncertainty. The United States economy appears to be gaining momentum, and bond and equity markets alike have appeared to price in the potential effect of any shifts in policy under President Trump. That said, it is important to recognize that the details of future policy and their potential impact remain unclear. The possibility of both higher inflation and interest rates presents further challenges for municipal bond investors. Fed officials have in fact signaled that more rate increases are likely in 2017.

 

At this time we do not expect municipal bond returns to match the strong levels of the last few years. Faced with higher uncertainty and probable market volatility, we expect to maintain relatively neutral duration and curve investment positions. That being said, we believe that in the current low-yield environment we may continue to uncover potentially compelling income opportunities through comprehensive credit research.

 

We appreciate the trust you have placed in us and look forward to reporting back to you at the close of the fiscal year.

 

Sincerely,

Funds’ 30-day yields

 

Below is a summary of each fund’s 30-day yield and 12-month distribution rate for Class A shares as of February 28, 2017. Both measures reflect the 2.50%/3.75% maximum sales charge. Each fund’s 30-day yield is calculated in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) formula. The SEC yield reflects the rate at which each fund is earning income on its current portfolio of securities while the distribution rate reflects the funds’ past dividends paid to shareholders. Accordingly, the funds’ SEC yields and distribution rates may differ. The equivalent taxable yield assumes a 43.4% tax rate.1

1 Based on 2016 federal tax rates. For the year 2016, there will be an Unearned Income Medicare Contribution Tax of 3.8% that applies to net investment income for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds $200,000 (for single filers) and $250,000 (for married filing jointly). Thus taxpayers in the highest tax bracket will face a combined 43.4% marginal tax rate on their investment income. The federal rates do not include an adjustment for the loss of personal exemptions and the phaseout of itemized deductions that are applicable to certain taxable income levels.
2 For investors in the 50.93% federal and California state tax bracket.
3 The SEC 30-day yield for American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York is 2.10% with the fund’s reimbursement.
4 For investors in the 48.39% federal and New York state tax bracket.

 

The return of principal for bond funds and for funds with significant underlying bond holdings is not guaranteed. Fund shares are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings. Income may be subject to state or local income taxes and/or federal alternative minimum taxes. Also, certain other income (such as distributions from gains on the sale of certain bonds purchased at less than par value, for The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America), as well as capital gain distributions, may be taxable. High-yield/lower rated bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade/higher rated bonds. The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York are more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of each state’s tax-exempt securities than a more widely diversified municipal bond fund. Refer to the funds’ prospectus and the Risk Factors section of this report for more information on these and other risks associated with investing in the funds.

American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund

 

The fund registered a total return of –0.92% for the first half of the fiscal year, trailing the –0.68% return of the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Average, a peer group measure. The fund also lagged the –0.88% decline of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Short 1–5 Years Index.

 

The fund paid monthly dividends totaling 6 cents a share for the six months. This amounts to a federally tax-exempt income return of 0.55% for investors who reinvested dividends. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 0.97% for investors in the 43.4%1 maximum federal tax bracket. A portion of the fund’s return also may be exempt from some state and local taxes.

 

In an uncertain market environment, the fund’s managers sought to provide relative stability. With yields near multiyear lows, the fund maintained its focus on high-quality issues of shorter duration. Municipal bonds on the whole struggled during the period; among the fund’s biggest detractors were revenue bonds supporting single-family housing and hospital facilities.

4 American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds
 

Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America

 

The fund recorded a decline of –1.75% for the six months ended January 31, a result that bested the –1.91% total return of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Short-Intermediate 1–10 Years Index. The fund’s result was in line with the –1.78% total return of the Lipper Short-Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average, a peer group measure.

 

The fund paid monthly dividends totaling 16 cents a share for the period. Those individuals who reinvested dividends received a federally tax-exempt income return of 1.00%. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 1.77% for investors in the 43.4%1 maximum federal tax bracket.

 

The fund focuses primarily on investment-grade bonds (those rated BBB/Baa and above). The fund’s managers positioned the portfolio fairly conservatively, seeking to maintain a relatively short duration. This approach dampened returns to an extent as the broader municipal bond market experienced a solid rebound in the final weeks of the period.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds 5
 

The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America

 

The fund logged a total return of –3.37% during the six-month period, a result that was in line with the –3.34% decline of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. However, the fund outpaced the –3.59% total return of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average, a peer group measure.

 

During the period, the fund paid monthly dividends totaling 20 cents a share, amounting to a federally tax-exempt income return of 1.51% for investors who reinvested dividends. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 2.67% for investors in the 43.4%1 maximum federal tax bracket. The fund does not invest in bonds subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

 

The fund’s managers continued on a relatively conservative path during the first half of the fiscal year, focusing on minimizing risk in an uncertain environment. They continue to seek out opportunities for incremental yield through deep credit research while remaining mindful of improving economic conditions and the potential for rising interest rates. At the close of the period about 93% of the portfolio consisted of revenue bonds. The largest concentrations were in holdings backing health care and transportation initiatives.

 

Amid declines across most areas of the market, holdings of bonds supporting hospital facilities were particularly detrimental to fund returns.

6 American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds
 

American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund

 

The fund registered a total return of –3.77% for the first half of its fiscal year. This result exceeded both the –3.91% loss of the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index, and the –4.25% total return of the Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average, a measure of the fund’s peer group.

 

For the six months, the fund paid monthly dividends totaling 29 cents a share, amounting to a federally tax-exempt income return of 1.83% for investors who reinvested dividends. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 3.23% for investors in the 43.4%1 maximum federal tax bracket. A portion of the fund’s return also may be exempt from some state and local taxes.

 

Rigorous credit research helped the fund mitigate the impact of some of the more extreme crosscurrents in the municipal bond market. Holdings of bonds backing hospitals, senior living facilities and airports posted some of the worst declines for the period.

Thus taxpayers in the highest tax bracket will face a combined 43.4% marginal tax rate on their investment income.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds 7
 

The Tax-Exempt Fund of California

 

The fund posted a total return of –3.66% for the six months. This result bested the –4.22% total return of the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average, a peer group measure. However, the fund trailed the –3.54% return of the Bloomberg Barclays California Municipal Index.

 

For the period, the fund paid monthly dividends totaling 27 cents a share. Those investors who reinvested dividends received an income return of 1.48%. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 3.02% for investors in the 50.93%1 effective combined federal and California state tax bracket.

 

Holdings of tax assessment bonds and issues backing hospitals and school districts dampened fund returns.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York

 

The fund recorded a total return of –3.55%, trailing the –3.22% decline of the Bloomberg Barclays New York Municipal Index. By way of comparison, the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Average, a peer group measure, posted a –3.51% total return.

 

The fund paid monthly dividends totaling 14 cents a share for the six months. This represents an income return of 1.23% for those who reinvested dividends. For investors in the 48.39%1,2 combined effective federal and New York state tax bracket, this is equivalent to a taxable income return of 2.38%.

 

Revenue bonds supporting higher education and hospitals and general obligation bonds were among those holdings that detracted from the fund’s overall total return.

* 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. In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund’s investment policies. Securities in the “unrated” category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund’s investment policies.

Portfolio quality summary* Percent of net assets

 

 

 

* 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. In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund’s investment policies. Securities in the “unrated” category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund’s investment policies.

Summary investment portfolio January 31, 2017  

 

Portfolio quality summary* Percent of net assets

 

 

 

* 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. In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund’s investment policies. Securities in the “unrated” category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund’s investment policies.

Portfolio quality summary* Percent of net assets

 

 

* 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. In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund’s investment policies. Securities in the “unrated“ category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund’s investment policies.

Portfolio quality summary* Percent of net assets

 

 

 

* 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. In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund’s investment policies. Securities in the “unrated“ category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund’s investment policies.

Summary Investment portfolio January 31, 2017  

 

Portfolio quality summary* Percent of net assets

 

 

 

* 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. In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund’s investment policies. Securities in the “unrated” category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund’s investment policies.

The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York each have six retail share classes (Classes A, B and C, as well as three F share classes, F-1, F-2 and F-3). Some share classes are only available to limited categories of investors. The funds’ share classes are described further in the following table:

 

Share class   Initial sales charge   Contingent deferred sales

On January 27, 2017, each fund made an additional retail plan share class (Class F-3) available for sale pursuant to an amendment to its registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Refer to the fund’s prospectus for more details.

 

Holders of all share classes of each fund have equal pro rata rights to the assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds of each fund held. Each share class of each fund has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share

classes have different fees and expenses (“class-specific fees and expenses”), primarily due to different arrangements for distribution, transfer agent and administrative services. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each share class of each fund.

 

2. Significant accounting policies

 

Each fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each fund’s financial statements have been prepared to comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These principles require the funds’ investment adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, have been evaluated through the date of issuance in the preparation of the financial statements. The funds follow the significant accounting policies described in this section, as well as the valuation policies described in the next section on valuation.

 

Security transactions and related investment income — Security transactions are recorded by the funds as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, the funds will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet their payment obligations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

 

Class allocations — Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) are allocated daily among the various share classes of each fund based on the relative value of their settled shares. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes of each fund based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution, transfer agent and administrative services, are charged directly to the respective share class of each fund.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders — Dividends to shareholders are declared daily after the determination of each fund’s net investment income and are paid to shareholders monthly. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on each fund’s ex-dividend date.

 

3. Valuation

 

Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”), the funds’ investment adviser, values each fund’s investments at fair value as defined by U.S. GAAP. The net asset value of each share class of each fund is generally determined as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.

 

Methods and inputs — The funds’ investment adviser uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of each 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.

 

Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities, are generally valued at prices obtained from one or more pricing vendors. Vendors value such securities based on one or more of the following inputs: benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, quotations from dealers and trading systems, new issues, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities; and proprietary pricing models such as yield measures calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data. For certain distressed securities, valuations may include cash flows or liquidation values using a net present value calculation based on inputs that include, but are not limited to, financial statements and debt contracts.

 

When the funds’ investment adviser deems it appropriate to do so (such as when vendor prices are unavailable or not deemed to be representative), fixed-income securities will be valued in good faith at the mean quoted bid and ask prices that are reasonably and timely available (or bid prices, if ask prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Some securities may be valued based on their effective maturity or average life, which may be shorter than the stated maturity.

 

Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the funds’ investment adviser are fair valued as determined in good faith under fair valuation guidelines adopted by authority of each fund’s 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; 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 and 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 — Each fund’s board of trustees has delegated authority to the funds’ investment adviser to make fair value determinations, subject to board oversight. The investment adviser has established a Joint Fair Valuation Committee (the “Fair Valuation Committee”) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process, and to make fair value decisions. The Fair Valuation Committee regularly reviews its own fair value decisions, as well as decisions made under its standing instructions to the investment adviser’s valuation teams. The Fair Valuation Committee reviews changes in fair value measurements from period to period and may, as deemed appropriate, update the fair valuation guidelines to better reflect the results of back testing and address new or evolving issues. The Fair Valuation Committee reports any changes to the fair valuation guidelines to the boards of trustees with supplemental information to support the changes. Each fund’s board and audit committee also regularly review reports that describe fair value determinations and methods.

 

The funds’ investment adviser has also established a Fixed-Income Pricing Review Group to administer and oversee the fixed-income valuation process, including the use of fixed-income pricing vendors. This group regularly reviews pricing vendor information and market data. Pricing decisions, processes and controls over security valuation are also subject to additional internal reviews, including an annual control self-evaluation program facilitated by the investment adviser’s compliance group.

 

Classifications — The funds’ investment adviser classifies each 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. At January 31, 2017, all of the investment securities held by each fund were classified as Level 2.

 

4. Risk factors

 

Investing in each fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.

 

Market conditions — The prices of, and the income generated by, the securities held by the funds may decline — sometimes rapidly or unpredictably — due to various factors, including events or conditions affecting the general economy or particular industries; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; governmental or governmental agency responses to economic conditions; and currency exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.

 

Issuer risks — The prices of, and the income generated by, securities held by the funds may decline in response to various factors directly related to the issuers of such securities, including reduced demand for an issuer’s goods or services, poor management performance and strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions or dispositions and the market response to any such initiatives.

 

Investing in municipal securities — The yield and/or value of the funds’ investments in municipal securities may be adversely affected by events tied to the municipal securities markets, which can be very volatile and significantly impacted by unfavorable legislative or political developments and negative changes in the financial conditions of municipal securities issuers and the economy. To the extent the funds invest in obligations of a municipal issuer, the volatility, credit quality and performance of the funds may be adversely impacted by local political and economic conditions of the issuer. For example, a credit rating downgrade, bond default or bankruptcy involving an issuer within a particular state or territory could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of that state or territory. Income from municipal securities held by the funds could also be declared taxable because of changes in tax laws or interpretations by taxing authorities or as a result of noncompliant conduct of a municipal issuer. Additionally, the relative amount of publicly available information about municipal securities is generally less than that for corporate securities.

 

58 American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds
 

Investing in debt instruments — The prices of, and the income generated by, bonds and other debt securities held by the funds may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit ratings of these securities.

 

Rising interest rates will generally cause the prices of bonds and other debt securities to fall. Falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, call or refinance a debt security before its stated maturity, which may result in the funds having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Longer maturity debt securities generally have greater sensitivity to changes in interest rates and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than shorter maturity debt securities.

 

Bonds and other debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default. Lower quality debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than higher quality debt securities. Credit risk is gauged, in part, by the credit ratings of the debt securities in which the funds invest. However, ratings are only the opinions of the rating agencies issuing them and are not guarantees as to credit quality or an evaluation of market risk. The funds’ investment adviser relies on its own credit analysts to research issuers and issues in seeking to mitigate various credit and default risks.

 

Thinly traded securities — There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular bonds or other debt securities, which may make them more difficult to value, acquire or sell.

 

Credit and liquidity support — Changes in the credit quality of banks and financial institutions providing credit and liquidity support features with respect to securities held by the funds could cause the values of these securities to decline.

 

Investing in lower rated debt instruments — Lower rated bonds and other lower rated debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and involve greater risk of default or price declines due to changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness than those of higher quality debt securities. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate more than the prices of higher quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty. These risks may be increased with respect to investments in junk bonds.

 

Investing in similar municipal bonds — Investing significantly in municipal obligations of issuers in the same state or backed by revenues of similar types of projects or industries may make the funds more susceptible to certain economic, political or regulatory occurrences. As a result, the potential for fluctuations in the funds’ share price may increase.

 

Risks of investing in municipal bonds of issuers within the state of California — Because The Tax-Exempt Fund of California invests primarily in securities of issuers within the state of California, the fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of California securities than a comparable municipal bond mutual fund that does not concentrate its investments in a single state. For example, in the past, California voters have passed amendments to the state’s constitution and other measures that limit the taxing and spending authority of California governmental entities, and future voter initiatives may adversely affect California municipal bonds.

 

Risks of investing in municipal bonds of issuers within the state of New York — Because American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York invests primarily in securities of issuers within the state of New York, the fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of New York securities than a comparable municipal bond mutual fund that does not concentrate its investments in a single state. For example, such factors may include political policy changes, tax base erosion, state constitutional limits on tax increases, budget deficits and other financial or economic difficulties, and changes in the credit ratings assigned to New York’s municipal issuers. New York’s economy and finances may be especially vulnerable to changes in the performance of the financial services sector, which historically has been volatile.

 

Management — The investment adviser to the funds actively manages the funds’ investments. Consequently, the funds are subject to the risk that the methods and analyses employed by the investment adviser in this process may not produce the desired results. This could cause the funds to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.

 

5. Taxation and distributions

 

Federal income taxation — Each fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net income and net capital gains each year. The funds are not subject to income taxes to the extent taxable income and net capital gains are distributed. Generally, income earned by each fund is exempt from federal income taxes; however, each fund may earn taxable income from certain investments.

 

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds 59
 

As of and during the period ended January 31, 2017, none of the funds had a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in their respective statement of operations. During the period, none of the funds incurred any interest or penalties.

 

The funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2012 or by state tax authorities for tax years before 2011.

 

Distributions — Distributions paid to shareholders are based on each fund’s net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to different treatment for items such as short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase; deferred expenses; cost of investments sold; net capital losses and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes.

 

As indicated in the following tables, all of the funds had capital loss carryforwards available at July 31, 2016. These will be used to offset any capital gains realized by these funds in future years through the expiration dates, if applicable. None of the funds will make distributions from capital gains while a capital loss carryforward remains.

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after July 31, 2011, (August 31, 2011, for The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America and The Tax-Exempt Fund of California) may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

 

The components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are reported as of each fund’s most recent year-end. As of July 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for each fund were as follows (dollars in thousands):

6. Fees and transactions with related parties

 

CRMC, the funds’ investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Distributors,® Inc. (“AFD”), the principal underwriter of the funds’ shares, and American Funds Service Company® (“AFS”), the funds’ transfer agent. CRMC, AFD and AFS are considered related parties to each fund.

 

Investment advisory services — Each fund has an investment advisory and service agreement with CRMC that provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on annual rates that generally decrease as average net asset levels increase. The agreement for each fund, except American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, also provides for monthly fees accrued daily based on a series of decreasing rates on each fund’s monthly gross income.

 

The range of rates, net asset levels, gross income levels and annualized rates of average net assets for each fund are as follows:

Class-specific fees and expenses — Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class of each fund. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are described below:

 

Distribution services — Each fund has plans of distribution for all share classes, except Class F-2, F-3 and R-6 shares, if applicable. Under the plans, each fund’s board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares and service existing accounts. The plans provide for payments based on an annualized percentage of average daily net assets. In some cases, the boards of trustees have limited the amounts that may be paid to less than the maximum allowed by the plans. All share classes with a plan may use the allotted percentage of average daily net assets to pay service fees, or to compensate AFD for paying service fees, to firms that have entered into agreements with AFD to provide certain

Trustees’ deferred compensation — Trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of each fund, are treated as if invested in shares of the funds or other American Funds. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of each fund and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Trustees’ compensation in the funds’ statement of operations reflects the current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net increase in the value of the following deferred amounts (dollars in thousands):

Affiliated officers and trustees — Officers and certain trustees of the funds are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFD and AFS. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the funds.

 

Security transactions with related funds — Each fund may purchase from, or sell securities to, other CRMC-managed funds (or funds managed by certain affiliates of CRMC) under procedures adopted by each fund’s board of trustees. The funds involved in such transactions are considered related by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common trustees and/or common officers. When such transactions occur, each transaction is executed at the current market price of the security and no brokerage commissions or fees are paid in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. During the six months ended January 31, 2017, such purchase transactions occurred between American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and related funds in the amount of $12,543,000. There were no sale transactions between American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and related funds during the period.

Expense example unaudited

 

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as initial sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (loads), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period (August 1, 2016, through January 31, 2017).

 

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in the table on the following pages provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading titled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the table on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Notes:

Classes F-1, F-2 and F-3 shareholders may be subject to fees charged by financial intermediaries, typically ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% of assets annually depending on services offered. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would be lower by the amount of these fees.

 

Note that the expenses shown in the table on the following pages are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

American Funds from Capital Group

 

The Capital AdvantageSM

 

Since 1931, American Funds, part of Capital Group, has helped investors pursue long-term investment success. Our consistent approach — in combination with The Capital SystemSM — has resulted in a superior long-term track record.

 

Aligned with investor success
  We base our decisions on a long-term perspective, which we believe aligns our goals with the interests of our clients. Our portfolio managers average 27 years of investment experience, including 21 years at our company, reflecting a career commitment to our long-term approach.1
   
  The Capital SystemSM
  The Capital System combines individual accountability with teamwork. Funds using The Capital System are divided into portions that are managed independently by investment professionals with diverse backgrounds, ages and investment approaches. An extensive global research effort is the backbone of our system.
   
  American Funds’ superior long-term track record
  Equity funds have beaten their Lipper peer indexes in 93% of 10-year periods and 98% of 20-year periods. Fixed income funds have beaten their Lipper indexes in 80% of 10-year periods and 80% of 20-year periods.2 Fund management fees have been among the lowest in the industry.3
   
  1 Portfolio manager experience as of December 31, 2016.
  2 Based on Class F-2 share results for rolling periods through December 31, 2016. Periods covered are the shorter of the fund’s lifetime or since the comparable Lipper index inception date (except Capital Income Builder and SMALLCAP World Fund, for which the Lipper average was used). Expenses differ for each share class, so results will vary. Class F-2 shares were first offered on August 1, 2008. Class F-2 share results prior to the date of first sale are hypothetical based on Class A share results without a sales charge, adjusted for typical estimated expenses. Results for certain funds with an inception date after August 1, 2008, also include hypothetical returns because those funds’ Class F-2 shares sold after the funds’ date of first offering. Please see americanfunds.com for more information on specific expense adjustments and the actual dates of first sale.
  3 On average, our management fees were in the lowest quintile 73% of the time, based on the 20-year period ended December 31, 2016, versus comparable Lipper categories, excluding funds of funds.

ITEM 10 – Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Registrant’s board of trustees since the Registrant last submitted a proxy statement to its shareholders. The procedures are as follows. The Registrant has a nominating and governance committee comprised solely of persons who are not considered ‘‘interested persons’’ of the Registrant within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The committee periodically reviews such issues as the board’s composition, responsibilities, committees, compensation and other relevant issues, and recommends any appropriate changes to the full board of trustees. While the committee normally is able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates, it will consider shareholder suggestions of persons to be considered as nominees to fill future vacancies on the board. Such suggestions must be sent in writing to the nominating and governance committee of the Registrant, c/o the Registrant’s Secretary, and must be accompanied by complete biographical and occupational data on the prospective nominee, along with a written consent of the prospective nominee for consideration of his or her name by the nominating and governance committee.

 

 

ITEM 11 – Controls and Procedures

(b) There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
