Pursuing better returns
American Funds vs. the index*
The first retail S&P 500 Index-tracking fund was founded in 1976. The chart shows how much a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the five equity-focused American Funds available that year would be worth compared to the index more than 40 years later.
Index funds are not striving to outpace their benchmarks; rather, they seek to replicate the benchmark's return pattern.
*$10,000 hypothetical investment in American Funds and the S&P 500 from August 31, 1976, through December 31, 2023.
Class F-2, net of all expenses.
Includes all five of the U.S. equity-focused American Funds available for investment when the first S&P 500 Index-tracking fund was launched on August 31, 1976.
The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization-weighted index based on the results of approximately 500 widely held common stocks. This index is unmanaged, and its results include reinvested dividends and/or distributions but do not reflect the effect of sales charges, commissions, account fees, expenses or U.S. federal income taxes. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. There have been periods when the funds have lagged the index.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index is a market capitalization-weighted index based on the results of approximately 500 widely held common stocks. The market index is unmanaged and, therefore, has no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. There have been periods when the funds have lagged the index.
