- American Funds Growth Fund of America Class F-2 (GFFFX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Capital Research and Management Company that seeks growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of large- and mid-capitalization companies offering superior growth opportunities, including traditional growth stocks, cyclical companies, and turnarounds; its portfolio emphasizes U.S. equities (approximately 89%) with allocations to non-U.S. equities (9%), cash equivalents, and minimal fixed income, featuring heavy exposure to information technology (33%), consumer discretionary (14%), communication services (14%), and health care (12%); top holdings include NVIDIA Corp, Microsoft Corp, Meta Platforms Inc, Broadcom Inc, and Amazon.com Inc. The fund offers share classes with a minimum initial investment of $250, annual management fees of 0.25% plus other expenses totaling a net expense ratio of 0.40%, quarterly portfolio turnover around 32%, and annual distributions of dividends and capital gains paid in December. Launched in 1973 and domiciled in the United States with headquarters in Los Angeles, California, it operates globally with primary focus on U.S. markets, Canada, Europe, Japan, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets; it is part of the American Funds family under Capital Group and targets long-term investors in the large-growth category. Recent changes include a firmwide self-assessment by Capital Group leading to portfolio manager transitions effective January 1, 2026, with Julian Abdey moving from Capital International Investors to Capital World Investors and Anne-Marie Peterson shifting to CII from CWI while retaining her role as lead principal investment officer; additionally, veteran manager Blair Frank plans to step off the fund on June 1, 2026, and retire in July, with his approximately 8% asset allocation redistributed among the remaining 11 managers such as Chris Buchbinder, Mark Casey, Carl Kawaja, Martin Romo, and Alan Wilson. As of November 30, 2025, the fund manages over $340 billion in assets across more than 294 issuers and 1.3 million shareholder accounts.
