Investment results assume all distributions are reinvested and reflect applicable fees and expenses.The investment adviser is currently reimbursing a portion of the other expenses, without which the results would have been lower. This reimbursement will be in effect through at least January 1, 2021. The adviser may elect at its discretion to extend, modify or terminate the reimbursement at that time. Read details about how waivers and/or reimbursements affect the results for each fund.

For example, in addition to your retirement plan investments, you should consider any investments (including those in an Individual Retirement Account) and savings accounts.

The fund is subject to the risks and returns of the underlying funds.

Investing outside the United States involves risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility, as more fully described in the prospectus. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries. Investing in smaller companies also involves additional risks, and small-company stocks can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks.

Lower rated bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated bonds. The return of principal for bond funds and for funds with significant underlying bond holdings is not guaranteed. Fund shares are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings.

Investments in mortgage-related securities involve additional risks, such as prepayment risk, as more fully described in the prospectus. Higher yielding, higher risk bonds can fluctuate in price more than investment-grade bonds, so investors should maintain a long-term perspective. While not directly correlated to changes in interest rates, the values of inflation-linked bonds generally fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates and may experience greater losses than other debt securities with similar durations.

Fund shares of U.S. Government Securities Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Although the fund is managed for investors on a projected retirement date time frame, the fund’s allocation strategy does not guarantee that their retirement goals will be met. American Funds investment professionals actively manage the fund’s portfolio, moving it from a more growth-oriented strategy to a more income-oriented focus as the fund gets closer to its target date.

The target date is the year that corresponds roughly to the year in which an investor is assumed to retire and begin taking withdrawals. Investment professionals continue to manage each fund for approximately 30 years after it reaches its target date.

Underlying funds and their allocation percentages are subject to the oversight committee’s discretion and will evolve over time. Underlying funds may be added or removed during the year.

The funds’ investment adviser anticipates that the funds will invest their assets within a range that deviates no more than 10% above or below these allocations. Changes in the equity allocation within the underlying equity-income and balanced funds may affect the overall equity exposure in the target date funds.
