Summary

The American Funds Preservation and Income series’ strong management team and thoughtful, research-based approach help it stand out among peers. The Conservative Income portfolio takes full advantage of the research-driven asset-allocation approach and strong lineup of underlying active managers, but the Preservation portfolio’s two-fund roster 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.
