Upcoming proxy vote for American Funds shareholders

Dear Financial Adviser:

In late August, American Funds shareholders will begin receiving proxy materials asking them to vote on measures designed to reduce expenses and increase investment flexibility. If approved, the proposals will give fund managers the tools necessary to make the funds more efficient and better able to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing investment environment.

Some of the eight proposals will affect all of the American Funds, and some apply only to certain funds. The proposals fall into categories that include:

·  
fund business, such as electing members to the funds’ boards
·  
agreements between the funds and Capital Research and Management Company,SM the investment adviser to the funds
·  
definition of the funds’ investment policies

American Funds Insurance Series® has scheduled a similar proxy vote.

Detailed information about the individual proposals will be available on americanfunds.com in late August.

Please alert your clients who are invested in the American Funds that they will receive proxy materials by mail. Encourage them to vote promptly in order to avoid receiving follow-up phone calls and mailings about these important proxy measures. If you have questions, call us at 800/421-9900, ext. 4. More information will be available on americanfunds.com/adviser in coming weeks.

Thank you for your continued support of American Funds.

Cordially,
 
/s/ Kevin G. Clifford
 
Kevin G. Clifford
President
 
 

Shareholders of each fund are encouraged to read the joint proxy statement when it becomes available as it contains important information regarding the proposed transactions. Shareholders may obtain the joint proxy statement, and other relevant documents, for free on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. You may also request a complimentary copy of the joint proxy statement by calling American Funds Service Company at 800/421-0180 or writing to the secretary of the applicable fund at 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, California 90071.
