American Funds Portfolio Series seeks to help investors meet a wide range of investment goals, including preservation of capital, income, balance and growth. Each fund in the series is an objective-based portfolio of actively managed American Funds.
American Funds, from Capital Group, is one of the nation’s largest mutual fund families. For more than 85 years, Capital has invested with a long-term focus based on thorough research and attention to risk.
Fund results shown in this report, unless otherwise indicated, are for Class A shares at net asset value. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower. Results are for past periods and are not predictive of results for future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. Share prices and returns will vary, so investors may lose money. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely. For current information and month-end results, visit americanfunds.com.
Here are the total returns on a $1,000 investment with all distributions reinvested for periods ended March 31, 2018 (the most recent calendar quarter-end). Also shown are the gross expense ratios as of the series prospectus dated January 1, 2018:

Investment results assume all distributions are reinvested and reflect applicable fees and expenses.
The portfolio series funds invest in Class R-6 shares of the underlying funds. The investment adviser is currently reimbursing a portion of other expenses for American Funds Tax-Exempt Preservation Portfolio, and has in the past reimbursed certain expenses for other funds. Fund results and the net expense ratio reflect the reimbursements, without which the results would have been lower and the expenses would have been higher. After January 1, 2019, the adviser may modify or terminate the reimbursements. Expense ratios are as of each fund’s prospectus available at the time of publication and include the weighted average expenses of the underlying funds.
For other share class results, visit americanfunds.com and americanfundsretirement.com.
Investment allocations may not achieve fund objectives. There are expenses associated with the underlying funds in addition to fund of funds expenses. The funds’ risks are directly related to the risks of the underlying funds. Refer to the series prospectus and the Risk Factors section of this report for more information on these and other risks associated with investing in the series.
Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.

We are happy to present this semi-annual report for American Funds Portfolio Series for the six months ended April 30, 2018.
Despite market volatility over the reporting period, all but two of the funds within the series advanced. Returns ranged from 5.10% (for American Funds Growth Portfolio) to –1.28% (for American Funds Preservation Portfolio). For a glimpse at how the series fared over the past six-month and one-year periods in comparison to their benchmark indexes, see Results at a glance on page 3 of this report.
About the series
The American Funds Portfolio Series consists of eight funds of funds that are designed to help investors pursue real-life goals, both long- and short-term, within a framework that includes three broad objectives: growth, balance and preservation. These funds of funds can be used individually or in combination, based on an investor’s needs, risk tolerance and time horizon (the total length of time that an investor expects to hold a security or portfolio). The series was created by the American Funds Portfolio Oversight Committee, a group of seasoned investment professionals with varied backgrounds, diverse investment approaches and decades of experience. In creating the series, the Committee carefully selects a mix of individual American Funds, employing an objective-based process and rigorous analysis. The Committee regularly monitors each fund in the series.
The economy
For the first half of the funds’ fiscal year, the global economy continued to grow at a moderate pace. Most major economies were healthy. In the United States, the unemployment rate continued to fall and stood at 4.1% in March, while gross domestic product rose 2.9% in the fourth quarter of 2017. Consumer confidence was steady, and inflation remained low.
The picture was similar overseas. In the eurozone, fourth quarter GDP gained 2.7%, while unemployment stood at 8.5% for February — still high, but the lowest figure reported since 2008. Economic activity in Japan continued to increase modestly, while in China growth has stabilized at a strong rate over the past several years.
The stock market
Over the six months, volatility returned to a number of equity markets — some for the first time in years. In several instances it could be attributed to geopolitical concerns, such as continuing conflicts in Syria and changes to U.S. trade policies. Corporate earnings were generally sound throughout much of the world, however.
Domestically, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index, a market capitalization-weighted index based on the results of approximately 500 widely held common stocks, gained 3.82% during the period. The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA, which reflects the returns of more than 40 developed and developing country
| American Funds Portfolio Series | 1 |
stock markets, climbed 3.47%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, measuring markets in more than 20 developing countries, advanced 4.80%.
The bond market
With the U.S. economy on sound footing, the Federal Reserve continued its slow, steady progression of rate hikes, the most recent of which increased the benchmark (the rate at which the central bank loans money to other banks) to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%. This remains well below historical norms.
During the period, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond — a widely regarded benchmark for the U.S. bond market — increased 58 basis points to 2.95%, despite the volatility in equities. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, which measures investment-grade U.S. bonds (rated BBB/Baa and above), fell 1.87% — not unexpected in the wake of the Fed’s moves. Global bonds fared better, with the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, a measure of global investment-grade bonds (rated BBB/Baa and above), rising 1.19%.
Inside the series
Each portfolio in the series consists of an objective-based mix of individual American Funds. Their results reflect those of the underlying funds.
Domestic-oriented growth funds such as The Growth Fund of America® and AMCAP Fund® led the way as far as contributions to results over the period, followed by SMALLCAP World Fund® and Capital World Growth and Income Fund®. American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund® and American High-Income Trust® were among the bond funds that were additive and stabilizing. The series’ other underlying fixed income funds delivered slightly negative results, in concert with the Federal Reserve’s first rate hike of 2018 and worries on higher inflation.
Growth funds tended to outpace income-oriented funds, due in part to optimism over the health of the global economy. Fixed income funds tended to retreat over the period. As always, we remind investors that six months is a limited period from which to extract and examine results. It is very important to keep a long-term perspective and to note, as the table on page 3 reflects, all of the portfolios in the series have returned positive results over their five-year lifetimes.
Please note that effective January 1, 2018, in order to help clarify the objective of each portfolio, the names of three of the funds of funds within the American Funds Portfolio Series were changed:
| • | American Funds Balanced PortfolioSM became American Funds Moderate Growth and Income PortfolioSM | |
| • | American Funds Income PortfolioSM became American Funds Conservative Growth and Income PortfolioSM | |
| • | American Funds Tax-Advantaged Income PortfolioSM became American Funds Tax-Advantaged Growth and Income PortfolioSM |
Moving forward
Looking ahead, we believe the global economy will continue to grow over the short term, buoyed by a general trend toward deregulation and lower taxes in the United States. However, trade policy remains a concern. While current disputes between the U.S. and China have had little real economic impact, the possibility of escalation is worrisome.
In light of this and other geopolitical issues, we expect to see higher levels of volatility in equity markets. This is not necessarily a sign of trouble, but rather a return to normalcy as the past year’s lack of volatility was unusual. Overall we believe the market environment, given a foundation of strong corporate earnings, will be positive.
As always, we thank you for placing your trust in American Funds, and look forward to reporting to you again in six months.
Cordially,
Bradley J. Vogt
Vice Chairman of the Board
Walter R. Burkley
President

1. Organization
American Funds Portfolio Series (the “series”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The series consists of eight funds (the “funds”). The assets of each fund are segregated, with each fund accounted for separately. The funds’ investment objectives are as follows:
| American Funds Global Growth Portfolio | Seeks long-term growth of capital. | |
| American Funds Growth Portfolio | Seeks long-term growth of capital. | |
| American Funds Growth and Income Portfolio | Seeks long-term growth of capital while providing current income. | |
| American Funds Moderate Growth and Income Portfolio (formerly American Funds Balanced Portfolio) | Seeks current income and long-term growth of capital and income. | |
| American Funds Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio (formerly American Funds Income Portfolio) | Seeks current income and, secondarily, long-term growth of capital. | |
| American Funds Tax-Advantaged Growth and Income Portfolio (formerly American Funds Tax-Advantaged Income Portfolio) | Seeks current income, a portion of which is exempt from regular federal income tax, while secondarily striving for long-term growth of capital. | |
| American Funds Preservation Portfolio | Seeks current income, consistent with preservation of capital. | |
| American Funds Tax-Exempt Preservation Portfolio | Seeks current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. |
Each fund will attempt to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a mix of American Funds (the “underlying funds”) in different combinations and weightings. Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”), the series’ investment adviser, is also the investment adviser to the underlying funds.
The Global Growth Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Growth and Income Portfolio, Moderate Growth and Income Portfolio, Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio and Preservation Portfolio each have 19 share classes consisting of seven retail share classes (Classes A, C, T, F-1, F-2 and F-3), six 529 college savings plan share classes (Classes 529-A, 529-C, 529-E, 529-T and 529-F-1) and eight retirement plan share classes (Classes R-1, R-2, R-2E, R-3, R-4, R-5E, R-5 and R-6). The 529 college savings plan share classes can be used to save for college education. The retirement plan share classes are generally offered only through eligible employer-sponsored retirement plans. The Tax-Advantaged Growth and Income Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Preservation Portfolio each have six retail share classes (Classes A, C, T, F-1, F-2 and F-3). The funds’ share classes are described further in the following table:
| Share class | Initial sales charge | Contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption | Conversion feature | |||
| Classes A and 529-A | Up to 2.50% for Preservation Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Preservation Portfolio; up to 3.75% for Tax-Advantaged Income Portfolio; up to 5.75% for all other funds | None (except 1% for certain redemptions within 18 months of purchase without an initial sales charge) | None | |||
| Class C | None | 1% for redemptions within one year of purchase | Class C converts to Class F-1 after 10 years | |||
| Class 529-C | None | 1% for redemptions within one year of purchase | Class 529-C converts to Class 529-A after 10 years* | |||
| Class 529-E | None | None | None | |||
| Classes T and 529-T† | Up to 2.50% | None | None | |||
| Classes F-1, F-2, F-3 and 529-F-1 | None | None | None | |||
| Classes R-1, R-2, R-2E, R-3, R-4, R-5E, R-5 and R-6 | None | None | None |
| * | Effective December 1, 2017. |
| † | Class T and 529-T shares are not available for purchase. |
Holders of all share classes of each fund have equal pro rata rights to the assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds of each fund held. Each share class of each fund has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses (“class-specific fees and expenses”), primarily due to different arrangements for distribution and transfer agent services. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each share class of each fund.

2. Significant accounting policies
Each fund in the series is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each fund’s financial statements have been prepared to comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These principles require the series’ investment adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, have been evaluated through the date of issuance in the preparation of the financial statements. The funds follow the significant accounting policies in this section, as well as the valuation policies described in the next section on valuation.
Security transactions and related investment income — Security transactions are recorded by the funds as of the date the trades are executed. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
Fees and expenses — The fees and expenses of the underlying funds are not included in the fees and expenses reported for each of the funds; however, they are indirectly reflected in the valuation of each of the underlying funds. These fees are included in the net effective expense ratios that are provided as supplementary information in the financial highlights tables.
Class allocations — Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes of each fund based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution, transfer agent and administrative services, are charged directly to the respective share class of each fund.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on each fund’s ex-dividend date.
3. Valuation
Security valuation — The net asset value of each share class of each fund is calculated based on the reported net asset values of the underlying funds in which each fund invests. The net asset value of each underlying fund is calculated based on the policies and procedures of the underlying fund contained in each underlying fund’s statement of additional information. Generally, the funds and the underlying funds determine the net asset value of each share class as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
Processes and structure — The series’ board of trustees has delegated authority to the series’ investment adviser to make fair value determinations, subject to board oversight. The investment adviser has established a Joint Fair Valuation Committee (the “Fair Valuation Committee”) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process, and to make fair value decisions. The Fair Valuation Committee regularly reviews its own fair value decisions, as well as decisions made under its standing instructions to the investment adviser’s valuation teams. The Fair Valuation Committee reviews changes in fair value measurements from period to period and may, as deemed appropriate, update the fair valuation guidelines to better reflect the results of back testing and address new or evolving issues. The Fair Valuation Committee reports any changes to the fair valuation guidelines to the board of trustees with supplemental information to support the changes. The series’ board and audit committee also regularly review reports that describe fair value determinations and methods. Pricing decisions, processes and controls over security valuation are also subject to additional internal reviews, including an annual control self-evaluation program facilitated by the investment adviser’s compliance group.
Classifications — The series’ investment adviser classifies each fund’s assets and liabilities into three levels based on the method used to value the assets or liabilities. Level 1 values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar securities and quoted prices in inactive markets. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the investment adviser’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the securities. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. At April 30, 2018, all of the investment securities held by each fund were classified as Level 1.
4. Risk factors
Investing in the funds may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.
Allocation risk — Investments in the fund are subject to risks related to the investment adviser’s allocation choices. The selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of the fund’s assets could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
| American Funds Portfolio Series | 23 |
Fund structure — The fund invests in underlying funds and incurs expenses related to the underlying funds. In addition, investors in the fund will incur fees to pay for certain expenses related to the operations of the fund. An investor holding the underlying funds directly and in the same proportions as the fund would incur lower overall expenses but would not receive the benefit of the portfolio management and other services provided by the fund.
Underlying fund risks — Because the fund’s investments consist of underlying funds, the fund’s risks are directly related to the risks of the underlying funds. For this reason, it is important to understand the risks associated with investing in the underlying funds, as described below and on the following pages.
Market conditions — The prices of, and the income generated by, the common stocks, bonds and other securities held by the underlying funds may decline — sometimes rapidly or unpredictably — due to various factors, including events or conditions affecting the general economy or particular industries; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; governmental or governmental agency responses to economic conditions; and currency exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.
Issuer risks — The prices of, and the income generated by, securities held by the underlying funds may decline in response to various factors directly related to the issuers of such securities, including reduced demand for an issuer’s goods or services, poor management performance and strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions or dispositions and the market response to any such initiatives.
Investing in stocks — Investing in stocks may involve larger price swings and greater potential for loss than other types of investments. As a result, the value of the underlying funds may be subject to sharp, short-term declines in value. Income provided by an underlying fund may be reduced by changes in the dividend policies of, and the capital resources available at, the companies in which the underlying fund invests.
Investing in growth-oriented stocks — Growth-oriented common stocks and other equity-type securities (such as preferred stocks, convertible preferred stocks and convertible bonds) may involve larger price swings and greater potential for loss than other types of investments.
Investing in income-oriented stocks — Income provided by an underlying fund may be reduced by changes in the dividend policies of, and the capital resources available for dividend payments at, the companies in which the underlying fund invests.
Investing in debt instruments — The prices of, and the income generated by, bonds and other debt securities held by an underlying fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit ratings of these securities.
Rising interest rates will generally cause the prices of bonds and other debt securities to fall. Falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, call or refinance a debt security before its stated maturity, which may result in the fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Longer maturity debt securities generally have greater sensitivity to changes in interest rates and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than shorter maturity debt securities.
Bonds and other debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default. Credit risk is gauged, in part, by the credit ratings of the debt securities in which the underlying fund invests. However, ratings are only the opinions of the rating agencies issuing them and are not guarantees as to credit quality or an evaluation of market risk. The underlying funds’ investment adviser relies on its own credit analysts to research issuers and issues in seeking to mitigate various credit and default risks.
Investing in lower rated debt instruments — Lower rated bonds and other lower rated debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and involve greater risk of default or price declines due to changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness than those of higher quality debt securities. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate more than the prices of higher quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty. These risks may be increased with respect to investments in junk bonds.
Investing in small companies — Investing in smaller companies may pose additional risks. For example, it is often more difficult to value or dispose of small company stocks and more difficult to obtain information about smaller companies than about larger companies. Furthermore, smaller companies often have limited product lines, operating histories, markets and/or financial resources, may be dependent on one or a few key persons for management, and can be more susceptible to losses. Moreover, the prices of their stocks may be more volatile than stocks of larger, more established companies.
| 24 | American Funds Portfolio Series |
Currency — The prices of, and the income generated by, many debt securities held by the underlying funds may also be affected by changes in relative currency values. If the U.S. dollar appreciates against foreign currencies, the value in U.S. dollars of an underlying fund’s securities denominated in such currencies would generally fall and vice versa. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by changes in relative currency values.
Investing outside the U.S. — Securities of issuers domiciled outside the U.S., or with significant operations or revenues outside the U.S., may lose value because of adverse political, social, economic or market developments (including social instability, regional conflicts, terrorism and war) in the countries or regions in which the issuers operate or generate revenue. These securities may also lose value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar and/or currencies of other countries. Issuers of these securities may be more susceptible to actions of foreign governments, such as the imposition of price controls or punitive taxes, that could adversely impact the value of these securities. Securities markets in certain countries may be more volatile and/or less liquid than those in the U.S. Investments outside the U.S. may also be subject to different accounting practices and different regulatory, legal and reporting standards and practices, and may be more difficult to value, than those in the U.S. In addition, the value of investments outside the U.S. may be reduced by foreign taxes, including foreign withholding taxes on interest and dividends. Further, there may be increased risks of delayed settlement of securities purchased or sold by an underlying fund. The risks of investing outside the U.S. may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets.
Investing in emerging markets — Investing in emerging markets may involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in the securities markets of developed countries. For instance, developing countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems than those in developed countries. The governments of these countries may be less stable and more likely to impose capital controls, nationalize a company or industry, place restrictions on foreign ownership and on withdrawing sale proceeds of securities from the country, and/or impose punitive taxes that could adversely affect the prices of securities. In addition, the economies of these countries may be dependent on relatively few industries that are more susceptible to local and global changes. Securities markets in these countries can also be relatively small and have substantially lower trading volumes. As a result, securities issued in these countries may be more volatile and less liquid, and may be more difficult to value, than securities issued in countries with more developed economies and/or markets. Less certainty with respect to security valuations may lead to additional challenges and risks in calculating the underlying fund’s net asset value. Additionally, there may be increased settlement risks for transactions in local securities.
Investing in securities backed by the U.S. government — Securities backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. Accordingly, the current market values for these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Securities issued by government-sponsored entities and federal agencies and instrumentalities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. government.
Investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities — Mortgage-related securities, such as mortgage-backed securities, and other asset-backed securities, include debt obligations that represent interests in pools of mortgages or other income-bearing assets, such as consumer loans or receivables. Such securities often involve risks that are different from or more acute than the risks associated with investing in other types of debt securities. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are subject to changes in the payment patterns of borrowers of the underlying debt. When interest rates fall, borrowers are more likely to refinance or prepay their debt before its stated maturity. This may result in the underlying fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, effectively reducing the underlying fund’s income. Conversely, if interest rates rise and borrowers repay their debt more slowly than expected, the time in which the mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are paid off could be extended, reducing the underlying fund’s cash available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities.
Investing in future delivery contracts — An underlying fund may enter into contracts, such as to-be-announced contracts and mortgage dollar rolls, that involve an underlying fund selling mortgage-related securities and simultaneously contracting to repurchase similar securities for delivery at a future date at a predetermined price. This can increase the underlying fund’s market exposure, and the market price of the securities that the underlying fund contracts to repurchase could drop below their purchase price. While an underlying fund can preserve and generate capital through the use of such contracts by, for example, realizing the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price, the income generated by the underlying fund may be reduced by engaging in such transactions. In addition, these transactions may increase the turnover rate of the underlying fund.

Investing in inflation linked bonds — The values of inflation linked bonds generally fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates — i.e., rates of interest after factoring in inflation. A rise in real interest rates may cause the prices of inflation linked securities to fall, while a decline in real interest rates may cause the prices to increase. Inflation linked bonds may experience greater losses than other debt securities with similar durations when real interest rates rise faster than nominal interest rates. There can be no assurance that the value of an inflation linked security will be directly correlated to changes in interest rates; for example, if interest rates rise for reasons other than inflation, the increase may not be reflected in the security’s inflation measure.
Investing in inflation linked bonds may also reduce an underlying fund’s distributable income during periods of extreme deflation. If prices for goods and services decline throughout the economy, the principal and income on inflation linked securities may decline and result in losses to the underlying fund.
Liquidity risk — Certain underlying fund holdings may be deemed to be less liquid or illiquid because they cannot be readily sold without significantly impacting the value of the holdings. Liquidity risk may result from the lack of an active market for a holding, legal or contractual restrictions on resale, or the reduced number and capacity of market participants to make a market in such holding. Market prices for less liquid or illiquid holdings may be volatile, and reduced liquidity may have an adverse impact on the market price of such holdings. Additionally, the sale of less liquid or illiquid holdings may involve substantial delays (including delays in settlement) and additional costs and the underlying fund may be unable to sell such holdings when necessary to meet its liquidity needs.
Credit and liquidity support — Changes in the credit quality of banks and financial institutions providing credit and liquidity support features with respect to securities held by the underlying fund could cause the values of these securities to decline.
Investing in municipal securities — The yield and/or value of the fund’s investments in municipal securities may be adversely affected by events tied to the municipal securities markets, which can be very volatile and significantly impacted by unfavorable legislative or political developments and negative changes in the financial conditions of municipal securities issuers and the economy. To the extent the fund invests in obligations of a municipal issuer, the volatility, credit quality and performance of the fund may be adversely impacted by local political and economic conditions of the issuer. For example, a credit rating downgrade, bond default or bankruptcy involving an issuer within a particular state or territory could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of that state or territory. Income from municipal securities held by the fund could also be declared taxable because of changes in tax laws or interpretations by taxing authorities or as a result of noncompliant conduct of a municipal issuer. Additionally, the relative amount of publicly available information about municipal securities is generally less than that for corporate securities.
Investing in similar municipal bonds — Investing significantly in municipal obligations of multiple issuers in the same state or backed by revenues of similar types of projects or industries may make an underlying fund more susceptible to certain economic, political or regulatory occurrences. As a result, the potential for fluctuations in the underlying fund’s share price may increase.
Investing in derivatives — The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional cash securities, such as stocks and bonds. Changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, rate or index, and a derivative instrument may expose the underlying fund to losses in excess of its initial investment. Derivatives may be difficult for the underlying fund to buy or sell at an opportune time or price and may be difficult to terminate or otherwise offset. The underlying fund’s use of derivatives may result in losses to the underlying fund, and investing in derivatives may reduce the underlying fund’s returns and increase the underlying fund’s price volatility. The underlying fund’s counterparty to a derivative transaction (including, if applicable, the underlying fund’s clearing broker, the derivatives exchange or the clearinghouse) may be unable or unwilling to honor its financial obligations in respect of the transaction.
Management — The investment adviser to the fund and to the underlying funds actively manages each underlying fund’s investments. Consequently, the underlying funds are subject to the risk that the methods and analyses employed by the investment adviser in this process may not produce the desired results. This could cause an underlying fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.

5. Taxation and distributions
Federal income taxation — Each fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and each intends to distribute substantially all of its net income and net capital gains each year. The funds are not subject to income taxes to the extent taxable income and net capital gains are distributed. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of and during the period ended April 30, 2018, none of the funds had a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Each fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in their respective statements of operations. During the period, none of the funds incurred any significant interest or penalties.
Each fund’s tax returns are not subject to examination by federal, state and, if applicable, non-U.S. tax authorities after the expiration of each jurisdiction’s statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the date of filing but can be extended in certain jurisdictions.
Distributions — Distributions paid to shareholders are based on each fund’s net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to different treatment for items such as short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase; deferred expenses; cost of investments sold and net capital losses. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes.
Additional tax basis disclosures for each fund are as follows (dollars in thousands):

CRMC, the series’ investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Distributors®, Inc. (“AFD”), the principal underwriter of the series’ shares, and American Funds Service Company® (“AFS”), the series’ transfer agent. CRMC, AFD and AFS are considered related parties to the series.

These fees are included in the net effective expense ratios that are provided as supplementary information in the financial highlights tables.
| American Funds Portfolio Series | 31 |
Class-specific fees and expenses — Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are further described below:
Distribution services — The series has plans of distribution for all share classes of each fund, except Class F-2, F-3, R-5E, R-5 and R-6 shares. Under the plans, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares and service existing accounts. The plans provide for payments, based on an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, ranging from 0.30% to 1.00% as noted in this section. In some cases, the board of trustees has limited the amounts that may be paid to less than the maximum allowed by the plans. All share classes with a plan may use up to 0.25% of average daily net assets to pay service fees, or to compensate AFD for paying service fees, to firms that have entered into agreements with AFD to provide certain shareholder services. The remaining amounts available to be paid under each plan are paid to dealers to compensate them for their sales activities.
| Share class | Currently approved limits | Plan limits | ||||||
| Class A | 0.30 | % | 0.30 | % | ||||
| Class 529-A | 0.30 | 0.50 | ||||||
| Classes C, 529-C and R-1 | 1.00 | 1.00 | ||||||
| Class R-2 | 0.75 | 1.00 | ||||||
| Class R-2E | 0.60 | 0.85 | ||||||

| Classes T, F-1, 529-T, 529-F-1 and R-4 | 0.25 | 0.50 | ||||||
For Class A and 529-A shares, distribution-related expenses include the reimbursement of dealer and wholesaler commissions paid by AFD for certain shares sold without a sales charge. These share classes reimburse AFD for amounts billed within the prior 15 months but only to the extent that the overall annual expense limits are not exceeded. As of April 30, 2018, unreimbursed expenses subject to reimbursement for the funds’ Class A and 529-A shares were as follows (dollars in thousands):

529 plan services — Each 529 share class is subject to service fees to compensate the Virginia College Savings Plan (“Virginia529”) for its oversight and administration of the 529 college savings plan. The quarterly fee is based on a series of decreasing annual rates beginning with 0.10% on the first $20 billion of the net assets invested in the Class 529 shares of the American Funds and decreasing to 0.03% on such assets in excess of $100 billion. The fee for any given calendar quarter is accrued and calculated on the basis of the average net assets of Class 529 shares of the American Funds for the last month of the prior calendar quarter. The fee is included in other expenses in the fund’s statement of operations. Virginia529 is not considered a related party to the fund.

| Expense example | unaudited |
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as initial sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (loads), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period (November 1, 2017, through April 30, 2018).
Actual expenses:
The first line of each share class in the tables on the following pages provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading titled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:
The second line of each share class in the tables on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Notes:
Retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor, and Class F-1, F-2 and F-3 shareholders may be subject to fees charged by financial intermediaries, typically ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% of assets annually depending on services offered. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would be lower by the amount of these fees.
Note that the expenses shown in the tables on the following pages are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of each share class in the tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Service Agreement
American Funds Portfolio Series’ board has approved the series’ Investment Advisory and Service Agreement (the “agreement”) with Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”) for an additional one-year term through January 31, 2019. The board approved the agreement following the recommendation of the series’ Contracts Committee (the “committee”), which is composed of all of the series’ independent board members. The board and the committee determined in the exercise of their business judgment that each fund’s advisory fee structure was fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided, and that approving the agreement was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders.
In reaching this decision, the board and the committee took into account information furnished to them throughout the year and otherwise provided to them, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with their review of the agreement, and were advised by their independent counsel. They considered the following factors, among others, but did not identify any single issue or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor, and each board and committee member did not necessarily attribute the same weight to each factor.
1. Nature, extent and quality of services
The board and the committee considered the depth and quality of CRMC’s investment management process, including its global research capabilities; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the low turnover rates of its key personnel; the overall financial strength and stability of CRMC and the Capital Group organization; the resources and systems CRMC devotes to investment management, compliance, trading, portfolio accounting and other services; and the ongoing evolution of CRMC’s organizational structure designed to maintain and strengthen these qualities. The board and the committee also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, compliance and shareholder services provided by CRMC to the funds under each fund’s agreement and other agreements, as well as the benefits to each fund’s shareholders from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds. The board and the committee concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CRMC have benefited and should continue to benefit each fund and its shareholders.
2. Investment results
The board and the committee considered the investment results of each fund in light of its objective. They compared each fund’s investment results with those of other funds (including funds that currently form the basis of the Lipper index for the category in which the fund is included), and data such as market indexes and fund averages, over various periods ended June 30, 2017. This report, including the letter to shareholders and related disclosures, contains certain information about each fund’s investment results.
American Funds Global Growth Portfolio seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against (i) the MSCI All Country World Index and (ii) the Lipper Global Large-Cap Growth Funds Index. They noted that the fund’s investment results were higher than all of the comparisons for the six-months, one-year and five-year periods and lifetime of the fund since May 18, 2012. For the three-month and three-year periods, the fund’s investment results were higher than the MSCI Index but lower than the Lipper Index for those periods.
American Funds Growth Portfolio seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against (i) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index, (ii) the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA, and (iii) the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index. They noted that for the three-month, six-month and one-year periods, the fund’s investment results were higher than the S&P 500 Index but lower than the MSCI Index and Lipper Index for those periods, and for the three-year and five-year periods and lifetime of the fund since May 18, 2012, the fund’s investment results were higher than the MSCI Index and Lipper Index but lower than the S&P 500 Index for those periods.
American Funds Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to provide long-term growth of capital while providing current income. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against (i) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index, (ii) the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA, (iii) the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index and (iv) the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index. They noted that the fund’s investment results were higher than all of the
| 80 | American Funds Portfolio Series |
comparisons for the three-month and six-month periods except the MSCI Index for those periods. They also noted that for the one-year period, the fund’s investment results were higher than the Bloomberg Barclays Index but lower than the S&P 500 Index, MSCI Index and Lipper Index, and for the three-year and five year periods and lifetime of the fund since May 18, 2012, the fund’s investment results were higher than all of the comparisons except the S&P 500 Index.
American Funds Moderate Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to provide current income and long-term growth of capital and income. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against (i) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index, (ii) the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA, (iii) the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and (iv) the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index. They noted that for the three-month period, the fund’s investment results were higher than all of the comparisons except the MSCI Index. They also noted that for the six-month period, the fund’s investment results were higher than the Bloomberg Barclays Index and Lipper Index but lower than the S&P 500 Index and MSCI Index, for the one-year period, the fund’s investment results were higher than the Bloomberg Barclays Index but lower than the S&P 500 Index, MSCI Index and Lipper Index, and for the three-year period, the fund’s investment results were higher than all of the comparisons except the S&P 500 Index. In addition, they noted that for the five-year period and lifetime of the fund since May 18, 2012, the fund’s investment results were higher than the MSCI Index and Bloomberg Barclays Index but lower than the S&P 500 Index and Lipper Index.
American Funds Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to provide current income and, secondarily, long-term growth of capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against (i) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index, (ii) the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA, (iii) the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and (iv) the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index. They noted that the fund’s investment results were higher than the Bloomberg Barclay Index for all periods, although they were lower than the S&P 500 Index for all periods. They also noted that the fund’s investment results were higher than the MSCI Index for the three-year and five-year periods, although they were lower for all other periods. In addition, they noted that the fund’s investment results were lower than the Lipper Index for all periods except the three-year period.
American Funds Tax-Advantaged Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to provide current income, a portion of which is exempt from regular federal income tax, while secondarily striving for long-term growth of capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against (i) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index, (ii) the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA, (iii) the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and (iv) the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index. They noted that the fund’s investment results were higher than the Bloomberg Barclays Index for all periods, although they were lower than the S&P 500 Index for all periods. They also noted that the fund’s investment results were higher than the Lipper Index for all periods except the one-year period. In addition, they noted that the fund’s investment results were higher than the MSCI Index for all periods except the three-month, six-month and one-year periods.
| American Funds Portfolio Series | 81 |
American Funds Preservation Portfolio seeks to provide current income, consistent with preservation of capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against (i) the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit 1-5 Years A+ Index and (ii) the Lipper Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Index. They noted that the fund’s investment results were lower than both comparisons for all periods.
American Funds Tax-Exempt Preservation Portfolio seeks to provide current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against (i) the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-7 Years Blend Index, (ii) the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Short-Intermediate 1-10 Years Index and (ii) the Lipper Short-Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index. They noted that the fund’s investment results were higher than the Lipper Index for all periods except the three-month and one-year periods, higher than the Bloomberg Barclays Bond Index for all periods except the six-month and one-year periods, and were lower than the Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate Index for all periods.
The board and the committee concluded that each fund’s investment results have been satisfactory for renewal of the agreement and that CRMC’s record in managing the funds indicated that its continued management should benefit each fund and its shareholders.
3. Advisory fees and total expenses
The board and the committee compared the total expense levels of each fund to those of other relevant funds. They observed that each fund’s total expenses were less than the median and average expenses of those of the other funds included in its Lipper category described above.
The board and the committee also reviewed the fee schedule of the funds (including the fees and expenses of the underlying American Funds in which the funds invest) to those of other relevant funds. The board and the committee noted CRMC’s prior elimination of the entire advisory fee payable by the funds under the agreement. The board and committee also considered the breakpoint discounts in each underlying fund’s advisory fee structure that reduce the level of fees charged by CRMC to the underlying fund as its assets increase. In addition, they reviewed information regarding the effective advisory fees charged to other clients by CRMC and its affiliates. They noted that, to the extent there were differences between the advisory fees paid by the underlying American Funds and the advisory fees paid by those clients, the differences appropriately reflected the investment, operational, regulatory and market differences between advising the funds and the other clients. The board and the committee concluded that each fund’s cost structure was fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided, and that each fund’s shareholders receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to CRMC by the fund.
| 82 | American Funds Portfolio Series |
4. Ancillary benefits
The board and the committee considered a variety of other benefits that CRMC and its affiliates receive as a result of CRMC’s relationship with each fund and the underlying American Funds, including fees for administrative services provided to certain share classes; fees paid to CRMC’s affiliated transfer agent; sales charges and distribution fees received and retained by the funds’ principal underwriter, an affiliate of CRMC; and possible ancillary benefits to CRMC and its institutional management affiliates in managing other investment vehicles. The board and the committee reviewed CRMC’s portfolio trading practices, noting the benefits CRMC receives from the research obtained with commissions from portfolio transactions made on behalf of the underlying American Funds. The board and the committee took these ancillary benefits into account in evaluating the reasonableness of the advisory fees and other amounts paid to CRMC by the funds.
5. Adviser financial information
The board and the committee reviewed information regarding CRMC’s costs of providing services to the American Funds, including personnel, systems and resources of investment, compliance, trading, accounting and other administrative operations. They considered CRMC’s costs and related cost allocation methodology as well as its willingness to invest in technology, infrastructure and staff to maintain and expand services and capabilities, respond to industry and regulatory developments, and attract and retain qualified personnel. They also considered CRMC’s sharing of any economies of scale, or efficiencies, through breakpoints and other fee reductions and costs voluntarily absorbed. They noted information regarding the compensation structure for CRMC’s investment professionals. They reviewed information on the profitability of the investment adviser and its affiliates. The board and the committee also compared CRMC’s profitability and compensation data to the reported results and data of several large, publicly held investment management companies. The board and the committee noted the competitiveness and cyclicality of both the mutual fund industry and the capital markets, and the importance in that environment of CRMC’s long-term profitability for maintaining its independence, company culture and management continuity. The board and the committee concluded that each fund’s advisory fee structure reflected a reasonable sharing of benefits between CRMC and the funds’ shareholders.

American Funds from Capital Group
The Capital Advantage®
Since 1931, American Funds, part of Capital Group, has helped investors pursue long-term investment success. Our consistent approach — in combination with The Capital SystemSM — has resulted in a superior long-term track record.
| Aligned with investor success | |
| We base our decisions on a long-term perspective, which we believe aligns our goals with the interests of our clients. Our portfolio managers average 27 years of investment experience, including 22 years at our company, reflecting a career commitment to our long-term approach.1 | |
| The Capital System | |
| The Capital System combines individual accountability with teamwork. Funds using The Capital System are divided into portions that are managed independently by investment professionals with diverse backgrounds, ages and investment approaches. An extensive global research effort is the backbone of our system. | |
| American Funds’ superior long-term track record | |
| Equity funds have beaten their Lipper peer indexes in 92% of 10-year periods and 99% of 20-year periods. Fixed income funds have beaten their Lipper indexes in 77% of 10-year periods and 80% of 20-year periods.2 Fund management fees have been among the lowest in the industry.3 |
| 1 | Portfolio manager experience as of December 31, 2017. | |
| 2 | Based on Class F-2 share results for rolling periods through December 31, 2017. Periods covered are the shorter of the fund’s lifetime or since the comparable Lipper index inception date (except Capital Income Builder and SMALLCAP World Fund, for which the Lipper average was used). Expenses differ for each share class, so results will vary. Class F-2 shares were first offered on August 1, 2008. Class F-2 share results prior to the date of first sale are hypothetical based on Class A share results without a sales charge, adjusted for typical estimated expenses. Results for certain funds with an inception date after August 1, 2008, also include hypothetical returns because those funds’ Class F-2 shares sold after the funds’ date of first offering. Please see americanfunds.com for more information on specific expense adjustments and the actual dates of first sale. | |
| 3 | On average, our management fees were in the lowest quintile 71% of the time, based on the 20-year period ended December 31, 2017, versus comparable Lipper categories, excluding funds of funds. |
