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, by Capital Group, is one of the nation’s largest mutual fund families. For nearly 90 years, Capital Group 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. 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 capitalgroup.com.
Here are the total returns on a $1,000 investment with all distributions reinvested for periods ended September 30, 2020 (the most recent calendar quarter-end). Also shown are the gross expense ratios as of the series prospectus dated January 1, 2021 (unaudited). The expense ratios are restated to reflect current fees.

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, 2022, 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.

Investment allocations may not achieve fund objectives. 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.

Fellow investors:
It is our pleasure to present the annual report for the American Funds Portfolio Series, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2020.
All funds of funds in the series returned positive results for the period, led by the American funds Growth Portfolio at 14.43% and American Funds Global Growth Portfolio, slightly behind at 14.09%. American Funds Tax-Aware Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio returned 1.95% and American Funds Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio finished the period at 0.23%.
About the series
Effective January 1, 2020, the Portfolio Oversight Committee (POC) was split into two distinct teams, one of which — the Portfolio Solutions Committee — now oversees American Funds Portfolio Series. The Portfolio Solutions Committee includes prior POC members Alan Berro, Wesley Phoa and Andrew Suzman, and additional portfolio managers Michelle Black, Samir Mathur, John Queen and Will Robbins.
The economy
It would be difficult to find a news article or commentary about the year 2020 that does not include the word “unprecedented” as a descriptor. So, first, we acknowledge that this year has presented the world with challenges on a scale not seen in recent history. The global pandemic created chaos and hardships. Civil unrest fostered a sense of danger and loss of control. The political landscape was volatile and more rancorous than usual. There was plenty of general uncertainty.
As a result of precautions taken to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, this past March saw a near-total shutdown of the nation. To help prop up the battered economy, which had been doing fairly well until that point, the government passed the largest stimulus bill in U.S. history (a $2 trillion relief package). For its part, the Federal Reserve expanded its balance sheet from $4.3 trillion in mid-March to $7.2 trillion in early June. In the period that followed, parts of the economy began to reopen and signs of recovery became evident. Strong GDP numbers in the third quarter represented about a two-thirds recovery of those first-quarter losses.
To date, while the course of the pandemic remains uncertain, there are signs of life in the economy. Some important points should be kept in mind: This year, the U.S. economy experienced a contraction of a magnitude not seen since the Great Depression. However, this sits in stark contrast to the strength of some parts of the stock market, which have surged during this time. While it may be tempting to contrast a healthy stock market with the fact that many people are suffering financially, physically and emotionally, we think it’s important to acknowledge that markets are not an index of general social well-being. Equity indexes are not rigidly connected to the state of the world or peoples’ lives. Finally, investors are usually encouraged to look at the big picture, but in such an unusual environment, this becomes more difficult. We can be cautiously optimistic about the future and, based on past recoveries, have reason to hope 2020 will be a bleak period to look back on from much brighter circumstances.
The stock market
This year, it became more difficult than usual to group stocks and companies and to frame a big picture that would help us understand this environment. Stock selection came increasingly into focus for investors. Our approach is always to closely scrutinize each company and investment and this year it had to be that much more granular – that is, deciding to “buy tech” was not enough. With a slow and erratic recovery, there was time for investment managers to make decisions based on fundamental research. That said, macro factors were at play in some sectors: Notably, an oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia sent oil prices and energy stocks plummeting.
For the most part, however, the reporting period saw extraordinary growth among
American Funds Portfolio Series | 1 |
larger U.S. companies within major indexes. Tesla shares soared 392%. Apple became the first U.S. company with a market capitalization of $2 trillion, only two years after surpassing the $1 trillion milestone. Like several other large tech companies, Apple benefited from robust online sales and strong demand while consumers sheltered at home. Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook also outpaced the broader market and touched record highs.
By the end of the reporting period, global stocks had posted a second consecutive quarter of strong gains following the earlier selloff. Both developed and emerging markets rose, supported by massive government stimulus measures and investor optimism for a global economic recovery. Businesses reopened, and consumers adapted to new guidelines affecting work, commerce and recreation. Many trends evident since March continued, with growth stocks meaningfully outpacing value stocks, U.S. equity markets leading their non-U.S. peers and dividend-paying equities significantly lagging low- and non-yielding securities. For funds of funds, dividend-oriented strategies did not display the buoyancy in this recession that they have in past equity bear markets. Some dividend-paying stocks that had been quite resilient in the past were negatively impacted by the demand shock from pandemic-related public health measures.
While additional COVID-19 outbreaks sent markets somewhat lower in September, the broad equity market, led by technology stocks, completed a full reversal of the bear market’s steep losses: Between March 23 and September 2, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index soared over 61%.
The bond market
We believe that different types of fixed income investments play different roles in investor portfolios. Bond funds should provide diversity from equities, capital preservation, income, and inflation protection. U.S. bonds have done this very successfully in 2020.
Bond returns in the first calendar quarter were mixed, with U.S. Treasuries rallying 8% as demand soared for perceived safe-haven assets. Investment-grade (bonds rated BBB/Baa and above) and high-yield corporate bond returns fell 4% and 13%, respectively. In late March, the Fed cut interest rates to near zero and purchased assets aggressively, including, for the first time, corporate bonds. The European Central Bank also launched a bond-buying program to ease fears and provide a backstop.
By the third calendar quarter, U.S. bond markets continued modest gains, as investment-grade corporate and high-yield debt more than recovered their first-quarter losses. Government bond returns were modest as demand for safety waned. The Fed left rates unchanged and maintained existing commitments to provide sustained stimulus as virus cases continued to increase into the fall.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index gained less than 1% for the third calendar quarter but was up over 6% year to date. High-yield and emerging market debt benefited from investors’ increased appetite for risk during the third quarter.
Inside the series
As the eight portfolios in the series are combinations of individual funds, the results of the underlying funds are a primary driver of the series results. Funds with a growth-oriented focus outpaced those with a growth-and-income and equity-income objective. These growth-oriented funds tended to hold larger allocations to information technology and consumer discretionary companies, which rallied strongly through the third quarter, after gaining steadily over much of the year. And they held lower investments in energy companies, which fell sharply. In contrast, funds with growth-and-income and equity-income objectives tended to have larger investments in higher yielding sectors, which trailed the broader market.
As mentioned, U.S. Treasuries rallied early in the year, owing to demand from investors seeking safety. However toward the end of the reporting period, fixed income funds with meaningful investments in corporate bonds fared better than those with larger positions in government bonds.
Moving forward
As we have clearly seen this year, our emphasis and reliance on multiple perspectives is more important than ever. With different sectors of the markets performing with such disparity, our system of investing — The Capital SystemSM — has become ever more critical. We intentionally emphasize multiple, diverse perspectives within the portfolio management teams of our underlying funds, with each manager controlling a slice of the overall portfolio. In this way, no one person drives all investment decision-making, and the portfolios reflect a variety of experiences and ideas.
As we continue to press forward, we are right there, with you. The next year will be filled with challenges, some extraordinary, some expected. Although the timing is uncertain, we are anticipating a vaccine, which will have to be tested, approved and distributed sufficiently to be effective. The U.S. political landscape will have shifted. Markets will continue to react. All that considered, we believe that, as always, the markets ultimately will rebalance and the economy will recover. We continue to encourage you to take a long-term view on investing.
As always, we thank you for your trust in our efforts and look forward to reporting to you in the next year.
Cordially,
Andrew B. Suzman
President

A look inside the funds
American Funds Portfolio Series was launched in May 2012 to help investors pursue preservation, income, balance and appreciation. Each of the eight funds in the series represents a blend of individual American Funds designed to help investors meet particular investment goals.
The members of the Portfolio Solutions Committee actively monitor the series to keep the portfolios aligned with their objectives.
The pages that follow describe the funds’ objectives and the key drivers of results during the reporting period. They also include a table showing the target allocations of the underlying funds.

Notes to financial statements
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 | Seeks current income and long-term growth of capital and income. | |
American Funds Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio | Seeks current income and, secondarily, long-term growth of capital. | |
American Funds Tax-Aware Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio (formerly American Funds Tax-Advantaged Growth and 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 23 share classes consisting of six retail share classes (Classes A, C, T, F-1, F-2 and F-3), seven 529 college savings plan share classes (Classes 529-A, 529-C, 529-E, 529-T, 529-F-1, 529-F-2 and 529-F-3), two tax-advantaged share classes for individuals with disabilities (Classes ABLE-A and ABLE-F-2) 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-Aware Conservative 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).

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), realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation 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 and transfer agent services, are charged directly to the respective share class of each fund.
Distributions paid to shareholders — Income dividends and capital gain distributions 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. The net asset value per share of each fund and each underlying fund is calculated once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4 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. 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 October 31, 2020, 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 each fund are subject to risks related to the investment adviser’s allocation choices. The selection of the underlying funds and the allocation of each fund’s assets could cause the funds to lose value or their results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.
Fund structure — Each fund invests in underlying funds and incurs expenses related to the underlying funds. In addition, investors in each 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 each fund would incur lower overall expenses but would not receive the benefit of the portfolio management and other services provided by each fund. Additionally, in accordance with an exemption under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the investment adviser considers only proprietary funds when selecting underlying investment options and allocations. This means that the fund’s investment adviser did not, nor does it expect to, consider any unaffiliated funds as underlying investment options for the fund. This strategy could raise certain conflicts of interest when choosing underlying investments for the fund, including the selection of funds that result in greater compensation to the adviser or funds with relatively lower historical investment results. The investment adviser has policies and procedures designed to mitigate material conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with its management of each fund.
Underlying fund risks — Because each fund’s investments consist of underlying funds, each 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, governmental agency or central bank responses to economic conditions; and currency exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are highly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, natural disasters, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious disease) and other circumstances in one country or region, including actions taken by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities in response to any of the foregoing, could have impacts on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the underlying funds invest in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries affected, the value and liquidity of the underlying funds’ investments may be negatively affected by developments in other countries and regions.
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, major litigation, investigations or other controversies related to the issuer, changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or its competitive environment 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 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. These risks may be even greater in the case of smaller capitalization stocks.
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 factors such as the interest rates, maturities and credit ratings of these securities.
Rising interest rates will generally cause the prices of bonds and other debt securities to fall. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to sell debt securities on a large scale, which could also adversely affect the price and liquidity of debt securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the fund. 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 failing to recoup the full amount of its initial investment and 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.
American Funds Portfolio Series | 37 |
Bonds and other debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer or guarantor will weaken or be perceived to be weaker, 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. A downgrade or default affecting any of the underlying funds’ securities could cause the value of the underlying funds’ shares to decrease. 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 assess 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, particularly during times of market turmoil.
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 nationalization, currency blockage or the imposition of price controls or punitive taxes, each of which 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, emerging market 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, emerging markets are more likely to experience problems with the clearing and settling of trades and the holding of securities by banks, agents and depositories that are less established than those in developed countries.
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 and the credit rating of the U.S. government. 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. While such securities are subject to the risks associated with investments in debt instruments generally (for example, credit, extension and interest rate risks), they are also subject to other and different risks. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are subject to changes in the payment patterns of borrowers of the underlying debt, potentially increasing the volatility of the securities and an underlying fund’s net asset value. When interest rates fall, borrowers are more likely to refinance or prepay their debt before its stated maturity. This may result in an underlying fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, effectively reducing the underlying fund’s income. Conversely, if interest rates rise and
38 | American Funds Portfolio Series |
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 an underlying fund’s cash available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to the risk that underlying borrowers will be unable to meet their obligations and the value of property that secures the mortgages may decline in value and be insufficient, upon foreclosure, to repay the associated loans. Investments in asset-backed securities are subject to similar risks.
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 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 or may become difficult or impossible to sell, particularly during times of market turmoil. Liquidity may be impacted by 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 or may be forced to sell at a loss.
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 — Municipal securities are debt obligations that are exempt from federal, state and/or local income taxes. 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 underlying fund has greater risk of volatility, and greater risk of loss, from these investments.
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 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 to value, difficult for the underlying fund to buy or sell at an opportune time or price and difficult, or even impossible, 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. In certain cases, the underlying fund may be hindered or delayed in exercising remedies against or closing out derivative instruments with a counterparty, which may result in additional losses.
Management — The investment adviser to each 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, including models, tools and data, employed by the investment adviser in this process may be flawed or incorrect and 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 October 31, 2020, 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; net capital losses and amortization of premiums and discounts. 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. The funds may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as distributions for tax purposes.
Additional tax basis disclosures for each fund as of October 31, 2020, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

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, 529-F-2, 529-F-3, ABLE-F-2, 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.

529 and ABLE plan services — Each 529 and ABLE share class is subject to service fees to compensate the Virginia College Savings Plan (“Virginia529”) for its oversight and administration of the CollegeAmerica 529 college savings plan and ABLEAmerica® tax-advantaged savings program. Prior to January 1, 2020, the quarterly fees were based on a series of decreasing annual rates beginning with 0.10% on the first $20 billion of the combined net assets invested in the American Funds and decreasing to 0.03% on such assets in excess of $100 billion. Effective January 1, 2020, the quarterly fees were amended to a series of decreasing annual rates beginning with 0.09% on the first $20 billion of the combined net assets invested in the American Funds and decreasing to 0.03% on such assets in excess of $100 billion. The fees for any given calendar quarter are accrued and calculated on the basis of the average net assets of Class 529 and ABLE shares of the American Funds for the last month of the prior calendar quarter. Virginia529 is currently waiving the portion of its service fees attributable to Class ABLE shares. The waivers are expected to remain in effect until the date on which total net assets invested in ABLEAmerica® reach $300 million or June 30, 2023, whichever is earlier. The service fees are shown as 529 and ABLE plan services and the waivers are shown as ABLE plan services fee waiver in each fund’s statement of operations. Virginia529 is not considered a related party to the fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of American Funds Portfolio Series:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the American Funds Portfolio Series (the “Funds”) comprising the American Funds Global Growth Portfolio, American Funds Growth Portfolio, American Funds Growth and Income Portfolio, American Funds Moderate Growth and Income Portfolio, American Funds Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio, American Funds Tax-Aware Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio (formerly American Funds Tax-Advantaged Growth and Income Portfolio), American Funds Preservation Portfolio, and American Funds Tax-Exempt Preservation Portfolio, including the investment portfolios, as of October 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of October 31, 2020, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of October 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 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 (May 1, 2020, through October 31, 2020).
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, F-3 and 529-F-1 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.

4 | The “effective annualized expense ratio” reflects the net annualized expense ratio of the class plus the class’s pro-rata share of the weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds in which it invests. The annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds for the period reflects the net actual expense ratio of each underlying fund for the period, annualized and weighted for the fund’s relative average investment therein during the period. |

The Capital Advantage®
Since 1931, Capital Group, home of American Funds, has helped investors pursue long-term investment success. Our consistent approach — in combination with The Capital SystemSM — has resulted in superior outcomes.
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 28 years of investment industry 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 outcomes
Equity funds have beaten their Lipper peer indexes in 92% of 10-year periods and 99% of 20-year periods.2 Fixed income funds have helped investors achieve diversification through attention to correlation between bonds and equities.3 Fund management fees have been among the lowest in the industry.4
1 | Investment industry experience as of December 31, 2019. | |
2 | Based on Class F-2 share results for rolling periods through December 31, 2019. 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. | |
3 | Based on Class F-2 share results as of December 31, 2019. Fifteen of the 17 fixed income American Funds that have been in existence for the three-year period showed a three-year correlation below 0.2. Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index was used as an equity market proxy. Correlation based on monthly total returns. Correlation is a statistical measure of how two securities move in relation to each other. A correlation ranges from –1 to 1. A positive correlation close to 1 implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security will move in “lockstep,” in the same direction. A negative correlation close to –1 indicates that the securities have moved in the opposite direction. | |
4 | On average, our management fees were in the lowest quintile 65% of the time, based on the 20-year period ended December 31, 2019, versus comparable Lipper categories, excluding funds of funds. |
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 the results of the original share class of the fund 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 capitalgroup.com for more information on specific expense adjustments and the actual dates of first sale.

ITEM 2 – Code of Ethics
The Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. The Registrant undertakes to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the Code of Ethics. Such request can be made by calling 800/421-4225 or to the Secretary of the Registrant, 6455 Irvine Center Drive, Irvine, California 92618.
ITEM 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Registrant’s board has determined that James G. Ellis, a member of the Registrant’s audit committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” and "independent," as such terms are defined in this Item. This designation will not increase the designee’s duties, obligations or liability as compared to his or her duties, obligations and liability as a member of the audit committee and of the board, nor will it reduce the responsibility of the other audit committee members. There may be other individuals who, through education or experience, would qualify as "audit committee financial experts" if the board had designated them as such. Most importantly, the board believes each member of the audit committee contributes significantly to the effective oversight of the Registrant’s financial statements and condition.

All audit and permissible non-audit services that the Registrant’s audit committee considers compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence are required to be pre-approved by the committee. The pre-approval requirement will extend to all non-audit services provided to the Registrant, the investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. The committee will not delegate its responsibility to pre-approve these services to the investment adviser. The committee may delegate to one or more committee members the authority to review and pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services. Actions taken under any such delegation will be reported to the full committee at its next meeting. The pre-approval requirement is waived with respect to non-audit services if certain conditions are met. The pre-approval requirement was not waived for any of the non-audit services listed above provided to the Registrant, adviser and affiliates. | ||
Aggregate non-audit fees paid to the Registrant’s auditors, including fees for all services billed to the Registrant, adviser and affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Registrant, were $1,652,000 for fiscal year 2019 and $1,712,000 for fiscal year 2020. The non-audit services represented by these amounts were brought to the attention of the committee and considered to be compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence. |

The procedures are as follows. The Registrant has a nominating and governance committee comprised solely of persons who are not considered ‘‘interested persons’’ of the Registrant within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The committee periodically reviews such issues as the board’s composition, responsibilities, committees, compensation and other relevant issues, and recommends any appropriate changes to the full board of trustees. While the committee normally is able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates, it will consider shareholder suggestions of persons to be considered as nominees to fill future vacancies on the board. Such suggestions must be sent in writing to the nominating and governance committee of the Registrant, c/o the Registrant’s Secretary, and must be accompanied by complete biographical and occupational data on the prospective nominee, along with a written consent of the prospective nominee for consideration of his or her name by the nominating and governance committee.
ITEM 11 – Controls and Procedures
(a) | The Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 30a-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940), that such controls and procedures are adequate and reasonably designed to achieve the purposes described in paragraph (c) of such rule. |
(b) | There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s semi-annual period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
