Company Profile
Capital Research and Management (American Funds)

American Funds is one of the nation's oldest mutual fund families, serving investors since 1931. They are also one of the nation's largest – third largest, in fact – representing over 30 million shareholder accounts. American Funds are distributed through financial advisors because they believe in the value of professional advice.

American Funds Insurance Series® is guided by the same investment manager as the 29 American Funds. American Funds and American Funds Insurance Series accounted for more than $1.1 trillion in assets under management, as of 12/31/06. Four factors help make American Funds Insurance Series different:

  • Long-term, value-oriented approach — American Funds strives to buy the stocks and bonds of well-managed companies at reasonable prices and holds them for the long term.
  • Unparalleled, integrated global research effort — the investment professionals made more than 9,000 research visits last year to get to know companies inside and out.
  • Multiple portfolio counselor system — this unique system blends teamwork with individual effort.
  • Experienced portfolio counselors — every effort is made to attract, and keep, some of the brightest people in the mutual fund industry.
