The fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of underlying American Funds, including growth funds such as AMCAP Fund, The Growth Fund of America, New Perspective Fund, and SMALLCAP World Fund; growth-and-income funds such as American Mutual Fund, Capital World Growth and Income Fund, Fundamental Investors, International Growth and Income Fund, The Investment Company of America, and Washington Mutual Investors Fund; equity-income and balanced funds such as American Balanced Fund, American Funds Global Balanced Fund, Capital Income Builder, and The Income Fund of America; and bond funds such as American Funds Inflation Linked Bond Fund, American Funds Mortgage Fund, American Funds Multi-Sector Income Fund, American Funds Strategic Bond Fund, The Bond Fund of America, Capital World Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund of America, and U.S. Government Securities Fund.

Launched on February 1, 2007, the fund is domiciled in the United States and managed from Capital Group's headquarters in Los Angeles, California, targeting individual and retirement plan investors planning retirement around 2035. It features a net expense ratio of 0.70%, comprising 0.12% other expenses, 0.25% 12b-1 service fees, and 0.33% acquired fund fees, with a minimum initial investment of $250 and assets under management exceeding $54 billion as of November 30, 2025. The fund maintains low portfolio turnover at 9% in 2025 and pays regular dividends and capital gains annually in December.
