Growth Fund of America
Actively managed U.S. stock fund
The funds investment objective is to provide you with growth of capital.
The fund invests primarily in large and mid-capitalization common stocks selected by its investment adviser for attractive valuations and long-term growth potential, with up to 25% of assets permitted outside the United States. Multiple portfolio managers oversee separate segments of the portfolio, each applying professional judgment to identify and hold securities that meet the adviser's investment criteria. Securities are sold when they no longer appear to offer relatively attractive opportunities.

How it has done
AGTHX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 16.74%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
May 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
