| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | Management's discussion of fund performance The fund's shares gained 16.85% on a net asset value (NAV) basis and 17.32% on a market price basis for the year ended May 31, 2024. These results compare with a 16.74% gain for the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA. For information on returns for additional periods, including the fund lifetime, please refer to capitalgroup.com/ETF-returns What factors influenced During the fund’s fiscal year, the United States saw economic growth driven by recovery in labor markets and increased supply of goods. In Europe, the market saw positive momentum attributed to decreased natural gas prices and increased manufacturing activity. However, the United Kingdom experienced stagnant growth, with inflation decreasing at a slower rate. In the Asia-Pacific region, Japan and India saw growth in corporate profits, while China faced an economic slowdown due to a downturn in the real estate sector. The fund’s holdings in information technology, energy and industrials were particularly additive to returns during the period, as were companies based in the United States, the Eurozone and in developed markets around the world. In terms of detractors, holdings in the energy and real estate sectors saw negative returns during the period. Likewise, the fund’s holdings in companies based in the Asia-Pacific region (ex-Japan) posted negative overall returns, particularly those domiciled in Hong Kong and Singapore. |
