Capital Group TV ad....

Wow. I just saw a commercial for Capital Group (American Funds) during Sunday Night Football. I never would've thought this firm would be looking for publicity .... big as they are, they tend to prefer flying very much under the radar and avoid the media spotlight. Interesting.

(I hold several AFs across my accounts)

The game was entertaining, BTW.

Maybe they can actually close a fund one day. I wouldn’t mind seeing what they’d do with a mid / small cap strategy, but they’ll never do it.

I don't think that they know about this "closing" thing. It's a fairly new concept, and they aren't noted for quick embracement of this new stuff.

That said (in jest) American has done very well for us over the years.

Solid leader for large caps, but I was hoping they’d have this pet project where they can close a fund at 2-3 billion...call me crazy, haha

I too hold GFAFX and I've been asking myself, do I hold just an expensive index fund? But it's done fine so far so I'll keep it and see what happens.
