Capital World Bond Fund
Actively managed global bond fund
As of its 2026 Q2 report, Capital World Bond Fund held 2,698 positions with $9.88B in net assets. Its ten largest holdings made up 18.4% of the fund. The CWBFX share class costs 0.98% a year. Over the 12 months to May 2026, CWBFX returned 2.6%, with dividends reinvested. In 2026 Q2 it added 547 new positions and exited 458.
The funds investment objective is to provide you, over the long term, with a high level of total return consistent with prudent investment management. Total return comprises the income generated by the fund and the changes in the market value of the funds investments.
The fund seeks high total return by investing at least 80% of assets in global debt securities across investment grades and up to 25% in high-yield bonds, with exposure to developing countries and multiple currencies; returns derive from interest income, market value changes, and currency fluctuations. A team of portfolio managers oversees separate segments, selecting securities the adviser judges to offer attractive long-term value and selling when that case weakens. Because performance depends on the managers' security selection decisions, results will diverge from any benchmark.

What the fund is made of
Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.
| Bonds | 79.92% |
| Securitized | 13.47% |
| Cash & short-term | 8.42% |
| Loans | 0.13% |
| Stocks | 0.04% |
| Derivatives | -0.19% |
Look-through blends 1 underlying fund; 0.0% of NAV was not looked through and stays direct-classified.
The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

How it has done
CWBFX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 5.83%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 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.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.62pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.12pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-06-30
Share of the fund's debt by how its coupon behaves — the fact that decides whether a rate move reaches this portfolio at all.
| Fixed rate | 85.5% |
| Floating rate | 14.5% |
Share of the fund's debt value in each maturity band, shortest first.
| <1y | 3.8% |
| 1-3y | 12.0% |
| 3-5y | 17.2% |
| 5-10y | 29.8% |
| 10y+ | 37.2% |
These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.
Risk profile
Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2
Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying about half as much.
Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.
| Interest rates | 74% |
| Credit spreads | 26% |
Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.
Share of the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| Investment grade | +1.83 yr |
| High yield | +0.58 yr |
Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.
| 1 yr | 0.92 yr | 13% |
| 5 yr | 2.07 yr | 30% |
| 10 yr | 2.35 yr | 34% |
| 30 yr | 1.51 yr | 22% |
3 mo is NEGATIVE (-0.07 yr) — a deliberate hedge at that point on the curve, so it is not part of the band above.
| 3 mo | 0.01 yr | 1% |
| 1 yr | 0.28 yr | 11% |
| 5 yr | 1.03 yr | 43% |
| 10 yr | 0.85 yr | 35% |
| 30 yr | 0.25 yr | 10% |
The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.

Dollar change per 1bp of spread movement, as filed and sign-anchored. A blank cell was not filed; a zero was.
Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 6.78 yr.
This is where the fund's rate exposure sits, not its currency risk — most international bond funds hedge the currency back to dollars, and the size of those hedges is not in the filing. Tenors are also summed across curves, so a 5-year JPY point and a 5-year USD point are added together.
