Our organization was founded in 1931 by Jonathan Bell Lovelace. The ideals and values he established continue to guide the way we operate today—even as we evolve to meet ever-changing business conditions. These values shape our decision-making and the way we interact with one another:
Integrity
Ours is a trust-based business. We seek individuals who recognize the benefit of, and the necessity for, the highest ethical standards.
Accountability
Success begins with all associates holding themselves responsible for their decisions and their results.
Rigorous analysis
Those who excel here are often analytical thinkers—asking questions, conducting thorough research and understanding the facts before coming to a conclusion.
Collaboration
It's important to be willing to share ideas and discuss differing points of view. Associates who succeed here recognize that collaboration in conjunction with individual effort leads to the best results.
Humility
Successful associates at the Capital Group prefer to focus on the benefits to the business, and not their own roles. We acknowledge that none of us have all the answers and we learn from our mistakes.
Long-term focus
We seek individuals with good judgment and the ability to make decisions based on long-term impact on our business.
Consistency
We look for individuals who can exercise sensible judgment and apply their experience, training and knowledge. There's no single way to do our work, but we believe in approaching each situation with common values and an emphasis on serving the needs of our investors.
Respect for individuals
We treat our mutual fund shareholders, clients and fellow associates with respect. We rely on all associates to interact with one another honestly, constructively, with enthusiasm and compassion.
