The funds investment objective is to provide long-term growth of capital.
The fund is a fund of funds that invests in a mix of American Funds, primarily growth funds and growth-and-income funds, to achieve long-term capital growth through exposure to growth-oriented common stocks. The fund maintains significant international diversification, targeting at least 25% of assets in underlying funds with at least 40% exposure to issuers outside the United States across at least three countries, and may also hold smaller-capitalization and emerging-market issuers. The investment adviser adjusts the combination and weighting of underlying funds based on their historical volatility, returns, and complementary characteristics, as well as current market conditions. Because the fund's returns depend on the adviser's selection and weighting of underlying funds, performance will diverge from any benchmark if those selections prove misaligned with market conditions.

How it has done
PGGAX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 15.35%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
