About FGIGX
The American Funds International Growth and Income Fund, Class 529F3, is a mutual fund managed by Capital Group that seeks to provide investors with long-term growth of capital while offering current income through regular dividends. Its primary focus is investing in a diversified range of larger, well-established companies primarily domiciled outside the United States, including developed and emerging markets. The fund emphasizes sectors such as technology, healthcare, industrials, and energy, reflecting a broad international equity exposure with limited U.S. equities—typically under 4% of total assets. With an inception in October 2008, it has demonstrated a commitment to steady income streams, paying dividends quarterly and capital gains distributions annually. Its investment strategy underscores a balance between growth and income, targeting attractively valued companies that present above-average long-term potential. The fund is designed for investors seeking international diversification, stability through established global companies, and a balance between capital appreciation and income generation in their portfolios.
