Capital Group Ultra Short Income ETF (CGUI) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks current income and capital preservation through investments primarily in USD-denominated, investment-grade debt securities featuring ultra-short durations. The ETF maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of two years or less, with a portfolio encompassing short-term bonds issued or guaranteed by U.S. government entities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, and other income-producing fixed income instruments rated investment grade; it holds approximately 248 securities as of late 2024. CGUI trades on the NYSE Arca and targets investors seeking high-quality, low-volatility fixed income exposure with monthly dividend distributions, evidenced by its recent ex-dividend announcement of $0.05398 per share on November 28, 2025.
Launched on June 25, 2024, CGUI forms part of Capital Group's rapidly expanding suite of actively managed ETFs, which grew to 21 funds by early 2025 through new launches including equity, fixed income, and high yield strategies such as the Capital Group U.S. Large Value ETF (CGVV), U.S. Large Growth ETF (CGGG), and High Yield Bond ETF (CGHY). In March 2025, Capital Group introduced eight active ETF model portfolios incorporating CGUI and peer funds to meet demand from financial professionals building diversified client portfolios. The issuer further advanced its offerings with an exclusive strategic partnership with KKR announced in 2025, enabling hybrid public-private fixed income solutions expected to launch that year, alongside a filing for the Capital Group KKR U.S. Equity+ interval fund targeting early 2026 availability.
Capital Group, the ETF's sponsor and one of the world's largest active investment managers with over $3 trillion in assets under management, was founded in 1931 and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The firm operates globally across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia, serving institutional and retail investors through sub-advisory services, mutual funds under the American Funds brand, and its ETF platform; CGUI caters principally to U.S.-based investors pursuing income in ultrashort bond segments with an expense ratio of 0.18%. As of late 2025, CGUI manages approximately $165 million in assets with shares outstanding around 3.18 million, reflecting steady growth since inception amid Capital Group's broader ETF expansion.
