About this ETF
The Capital Group Core Bond ETF (CGCB) endeavors to deliver a high level of current income, consistent with the diligent preservation of investors' principal capital. Its portfolio primarily consists of debt instruments from corporations and various government bodies (both domestic and international), mortgage-backed securities, and cash. The fund also retains the flexibility to invest in fixed-income securities issued by companies and governments situated outside the United States. Crucially, at least 80% of its total assets will be invested in bonds and other debt instruments, a definition that encompasses cash equivalents and specific preferred securities. The fund may also utilize derivative instruments, such as futures contracts and swap agreements, to represent underlying investments. Finally, up to 5% of the fund's assets may be allocated to common stocks, warrants, or rights, but only if these equity holdings are obtained from the sale of associated debt securities or via debt-for-equity exchanges.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
