Description of the Default Investment Designed to simplify your investment decision-making, the American Funds Target Date Retirement Series is made up of 12 target date fund portfolios, each composed of a different mix of the American Funds, with retirement dates ranging from 2010 through 2065 in five-year increments. New funds may be added to the series for future retirement dates as needed. Each target date fund serves as a single diversified retirement portfolio — with an underlying investment approach aligned with its retirement date — so you only need to select one. Each fund in the Series attempts to balance investors’ long-term needs for both return and conservation of capital.
