Summary

The American Funds Preservation and Income series is overseen by a top management team applying a measured, objectives-based approach. The Conservative Income portfolio benefits from strong underlying funds, but the two-fund Preservation portfolio’s lineup is less inspiring and limited in scope. The two portfolios are made available through model portfolios and separate accounts, with the Preservation portfolio also offered as a mutual fund.
