- American Funds The Growth Fund of America Class A (AGTHX) is a large-growth mutual fund that seeks growth of capital through primary investments in common stocks of companies offering superior growth opportunities; it may allocate up to 25% of assets to non-U.S. issuers domiciled outside the United States. Managed by Capital Group using a multiple portfolio manager approach, the fund divides its portfolio into segments overseen by individual managers, with current top sectors including information technology (32.7%), consumer discretionary (13.7%), and communication services (13.6%) as of November 30, 2025. Core offerings encompass Class A shares with a minimum initial investment of $250, annual expense ratio of 0.59% (including 0.25% management fees, 0.24% 12b-1 fees, and 0.10% other expenses), portfolio turnover of 32% for fiscal year 2025, and December distributions of regular income dividends and capital gains. The fund holds over 294 companies across U.S. equities (88.8%), non-U.S. equities (8.6%), and cash equivalents, with regional exposure primarily in the United States (91.1%), Canada (2.6%), Europe & Middle East (2.9%), Japan (0.6%), Asia-Pacific ex-Japan (0.1%), and emerging markets ex-China (2.6%) as of November 30, 2025. It targets individual and institutional investors seeking long-term capital appreciation in the large-cap growth segment, benchmarked against the S&P 500 Index, and maintains assets under management of $340.0 billion with 3.76 million shareholder accounts. Launched on December 1, 1973, the fund operates under Capital Group Companies, Inc., headquartered at 333 South Hope Street in Los Angeles, California. Recent portfolio distributions in December 2024 included a regular income dividend of $0.31 per share and long-term capital gains of $6.381 per share, reflecting strong performance amid market conditions. At the parent company level, Capital Group launched its first two public-private investment solutions in partnership with KKR in 2025, expanding into hybrid funds blending public bonds and private credit; it also announced strategic shifts in 2024 to grow fixed income, accelerate global expansion, and diversify beyond core equities toward a $4 trillion assets target by 2031.
