Fellow investors:

We are pleased to present you with this annual report for six American Funds municipal bond funds: American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York. This report covers results from August 1, 2013, through July 31, 2014, the conclusion of the funds’ fiscal year.

Municipal bond investors experienced a healthy market environment for much of the period, as tax-exempt securities rebounded from a turbulent 2013. Mixed economic news and geopolitical conflict drove renewed interest in fixed-income investments. Relatively attractive valuations for municipal bonds and a favorable supply-demand imbalance helped perpetuate the rally.

All six funds generated positive results. Total returns ranged from 1.43% for American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund to 9.99% for American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund. (See pages 4 through 16 for fund-specific results and information.)

Rebounding after a volatile 2013

At the start of the funds’ fiscal year last August, prices for most types of tax-exempt bonds were depressed, as investors fled fixed-income securities on concerns that the Federal Reserve would begin reducing its bond purchasing programs and that interest rates would gradually begin to rise. Shortly before the start of the fiscal year, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury bond had reached its highest level in two years. Municipal bond investors were further unnerved by news coverage of the fiscal troubles facing Detroit and Puerto Rico.

By September, however, a turnaround in the Treasury market and attractive yields for most types of tax-exempt bonds helped trigger a rebound in the municipal market. In the early months of 2014, weather-related weakness in the U.S. economy, growing tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine, and turbulence in a number of overseas markets provided additional momentum for the broad bond market rally, as investors sought the relative safety of Treasuries and other fixed-income securities.

In general, municipal bonds delivered stronger returns than many types of taxable bonds, thanks in part to attractive valuations for tax-exempt bonds both in absolute terms and relative to Treasury securities at the beginning of the fiscal year. While returns for municipal bonds varied across the yield curve, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a broad measure of the investment-grade tax-exempt bond market, recorded a 7.27% gain for the fiscal year, compared with a rise of 3.97% for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, a broad measure of the investment-grade taxable fixed-income market. The indexes are unmanaged and, therefore, have no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Attractive supply-and-demand dynamics provided an additional tailwind for the municipal market. After strong outflows through much of 2013, fund flows recovered in the latter half of the fiscal year. As demand increased, however, the supply of municipal bonds declined. For the first six months of 2014, issuance

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds

was down 15% compared with the same period in 2013.

The fiscal problems confronting Puerto Rico continued to make headlines throughout the year. Bonds issued by Puerto Rico were among the most actively traded municipal securities in the second half of the fiscal year. Investor reaction to the Commonwealth’s challenges, including news of a potential restructuring of its public agencies, remains fluid.

In general, municipal bonds with longer maturities outpaced shorter term bonds, and lower rated securities generated better returns than those of higher quality. As interest rates declined over the period, investors gained confidence and increasingly sought opportunities for yield. In general, most of the tax-exempt bond funds covered in this report maintained relatively short duration positions, which proved to be a drag on overall returns. However, thanks to strong credit selection driven by our disciplined research effort, many of the funds kept pace with the market rally.

Looking forward

U.S. economic activity continues to accelerate, albeit at a modest pace. As growth continues to pick up, inflation is also likely to increase. Given these circumstances, and with the Fed winding down its asset purchase program, we expect interest rates to rise and feel it is likely there will be periods of uncertainty with regard to their future path. In such an environment, bond returns may be muted.

However, periods of rising interest rates provide opportunities to reinvest proceeds from bonds reaching maturity into less expensive bonds at higher yields and therefore higher tax-exempt income. Furthermore, the fiscal and economic outlook for many states and municipalities has improved substantially in recent months. While we maintain a conservative approach to the market, we are continuing to find opportunities to invest in bonds with attractive valuations that offer solid tax-exempt income. As always, we seek to maintain a careful balance between risk and potential return in the funds’ holdings.

We are grateful you have chosen to invest with us, and we look forward to reporting back to you in six months.

Sincerely,

Brenda S. Ellerin

Funds’ 30-day yields

Below is a summary of each fund’s 30-day yield and 12-month distribution rate for Class A shares as of August 31, 2014. Both measures reflect the 2.50%/3.75% maximum sales charge. Each fund’s 30-day yield is calculated in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) formula. The SEC yield reflects the rate at which each fund is earning income on its current portfolio of securities while the distribution rate reflects the funds’ past dividends paid to shareholders. Accordingly, the funds’ SEC yields and distribution rates may differ. The equivalent taxable yield assumes a 43.4% tax rate.¹

	SEC		Equivalent		12-month

American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York	2.05		4.15	³	2.82

¹	Based on 2014 federal tax rates. For the year 2014, there will be an Unearned Income Medicare Contribution Tax of 3.8% that applies to net investment income for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds $200,000 (for single filers) and $250,000 (for married filing jointly). Thus taxpayers in the highest tax bracket will face a combined 43.4% marginal tax rate on their investment income. The federal rates do not include an adjustment for the loss of personal exemptions and the phaseout of itemized deductions that are applicable to certain taxable income levels.
²	For investors in the 50.93% federal and California state tax bracket.
³	For investors in the 50.59% federal, New York state and New York City tax bracket.

The return of principal for bond funds and for funds with significant underlying bond holdings is not guaranteed. Fund shares are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings. Income may be subject to state or local income taxes and/or federal alternative minimum taxes. Also, certain other income (such as distributions from gains on the sale of certain bonds purchased at less than par value for The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America), as well as capital gain distributions, may be taxable. High-yield/lower rated bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade/higher rated bonds. The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York are more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of each state’s tax-exempt securities than a more widely diversified municipal bond fund. Refer to the fund prospectus and the Risk Factors section of this report for more information on these and other risks associated with investing in the funds.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds

American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund

The fund produced a 1.43% total return for the fiscal year, exceeding the 1.16% gain of the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Average, a peer group measure. The Barclays Municipal Short 1–5 Years Index recorded a 1.98% total return. The index is unmanaged and, therefore, has no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

For the 12 months ended July 31, 2014, the fund paid monthly dividends totaling about 11 cents a share. This amounts to a federally tax-exempt income return of 1.04% for those who reinvested dividends. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 1.84% for investors in the 43.4%¹maximum federal tax bracket. A portion of the fund’s return also may be exempt from some state and local taxes.

While returns in the municipal bond market were positive overall, securities at the shorter end of the maturity spectrum — where the fund invests — tended to lag the broader market. Yields for shorter term bonds remain quite low, in part due to the Federal Reserve’s accommodative policies. The fund’s focus is first and foremost on protecting investor capital, which fund managers recognize as a top priority for most investors. At the close of the period, the largest concentrations in the portfolio included revenue bonds supporting hospital facilities (9.52%), airports (9.51%) and single-family housing (9.16%).

Portfolio quality summary*

Percent of net assets

Bond ratings, which typically range from AAA/Aaa (highest) to D (lowest), are assigned by credit rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch as an indication of an issuer’s creditworthiness. In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. If agency ratings differ, the security will be considered to have received the highest of those ratings, consistent with the fund’s investment policies. Securities in the “unrated” category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund’s investment policies. The ratings are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds

Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America

The fund produced a 3.56% gain, which slightly trailed the 3.75% total return of the Barclays Municipal Short-Intermediate 1–10 Years Index. The index is unmanaged and, therefore, has no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

The fund’s total return also fell short of the 5.30% total return of the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average, a peer group measure.

The fund paid monthly dividends totaling about 40 cents a share for the fiscal year, which represents a federally tax-exempt income return of 2.55% for those who reinvested dividends. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 4.51% for investors in the 43.4%¹maximum federal tax bracket.

During the 12-month period, the fund’s returns were limited due in part to an unexpected decline in already low interest rates and tightening of credit spreads. These conditions proved to be somewhat challenging for the fund, which focuses chiefly on investment-grade bonds (those rated BBB/Baa and above) with maturities ranging from a few years to 10 years. Nevertheless, the fund delivered a solid gain while continuing to focus on preserving investor principal and generating reasonable income. The fund’s largest concentrations at the end of the fiscal year included revenue bonds supporting critical local enterprises, including airports (14.0%) and hospital facilities (11.3%).

The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America

The fund advanced 7.60% for the fiscal year, outpacing the 7.27% total return of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. The index is unmanaged and, therefore, has no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

By way of comparison, the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average, a measure of the fund’s peer group, recorded a 7.67% total return.

For the 12 months, the fund paid monthly dividends totaling nearly 45 cents a share, amounting to a federally tax-exempt income return of 3.65% for those who reinvested dividends. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 6.45% for investors in the 43.4%¹maximum federal tax bracket. The fund does not invest in bonds subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

Continuing with a fairly conservative approach to the market that we have discussed in recent reports, the fund focused on relatively shorter duration securities throughout the year. This approach proved to be slightly unfavorable in a period when longer maturities and lower rated securities generally outgained shorter term securities. However, efforts by the fund’s managers to seek out yield opportunities through strong credit research proved rewarding and the fund outpaced the overall market. Holdings of revenue bonds supporting hospital facilities and toll roads — among the fund’s largest concentrations — generated some of the strongest gains for the fund.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds

American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund

The fund produced an outstanding 9.99% total return for the fiscal year, exceeding both the 6.84% gain of the Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index and the 7.27% return of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a measure of the investment-grade market. The indexes are unmanaged and, therefore, have no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The fund also bested the 9.10% total return of the Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average, a peer group measure.

While we are pleased with the fund’s return, we remind readers that we take a long-term view of investing. You can find results for longer time frames on page 16. That said, we are gratified that our research-driven approach has helped the fund produce favorable relative results in the recently concluded fiscal year — a strong period for lower rated bonds — and that it also outpaced the Barclays Municipal Bond Index for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2013, which was a particularly challenging period for high-yield municipal securities.

For the 12 months ended July 31, 2014, the fund paid monthly dividends totaling about 67 cents a share, amounting to a federally tax-exempt income return of 4.71% for investors who reinvested dividends. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 8.32% for investors in the 43.4%¹maximum federal tax bracket. A portion of the fund’s return also may be exempt from some state and local taxes.

The fund received positive contributions from a number of bonds representing a variety of sectors and geographies. Investments in revenue bonds backing senior living facilities and tax-exempt corporate bonds produced some of the strongest gains of the period.

¹	For the year 2014, there will be an Unearned Income Medicare Contribution Tax of 3.8% that applies to net investment income for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds $200,000 (for single filers) and $250,000 (for married filing jointly). Thus taxpayers in the highest tax bracket will face a combined 43.4% marginal tax rate on their investment income.
²	Based on 2014 federal tax rates. The federal rates do not include an adjustment for the loss of personal exemptions and the phaseout of itemized deductions that are applicable to certain taxable income levels.
³	The distribution rate is based on dividends paid over the last 12 months divided by the maximum offering price as of July 31, 2014. Capital gain distributions, if any, are added back at the maximum offering price to determine the rate.

Bond ratings, which typically range from AAA/Aaa (highest) to D (lowest), are assigned by credit rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch as an indication of an issuer’s creditworthiness. In assigning a credit rating to a security, the fund looks specifically to the ratings assigned to the issuer of the security by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. If agency ratings differ, securities are placed in the lowest rated category. Securities in the “unrated” category (above) have not been rated by a rating agency; however, the investment adviser performs its own credit analysis and assigns comparable ratings that are used for compliance with the fund’s investment policies. The ratings are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

The Tax-Exempt Fund of California

The fund generated an 8.72% total return, a result that lagged the 9.04% gain of the Barclays California Municipal Index. The index is unmanaged and, therefore, has no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The fund also trailed the 9.27% total return recorded by the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average, a peer group measure.

The fund paid monthly dividends totaling about 63 cents a share for the 12-month period. Those investors who reinvested dividends received an income return of 3.83%. This is equivalent to a taxable income return of 7.81% for investors in the 50.93% effective combined federal and California tax bracket.

With the state economy improving and tax revenues rising, California is starting the current fiscal year in solid shape. The state’s planned budget for the current year features increases for education, pays down debt, and proposes a 32-year plan to fully fund the teachers’ pension system. These conditions have proved to be tailwinds for the state’s municipal bond market, which has seen spreads tighten across the credit spectrum. A reduced supply of bonds also has been supportive of returns.

The fund had a small concentration of holdings issued by Puerto Rico issuers (1.85%), which offer triple-tax-exempt status to investors. Select holdings in this area detracted from the fund’s overall positive result during the period.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York

The fund produced a 6.83% total return. That result lagged the 7.47% gain of the Barclays New York Municipal Index. The index is unmanaged and, therefore, has no expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The fund also trailed the 7.01% total return of the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Average, a measure of its peer group. However, as you can see in the table on page 16, the fund has continued to outpace its benchmarks over its lifetime.

For the year, the fund paid monthly dividends totaling about 31 cents a share. This represents an income return of 3.12% for those who reinvested dividends. For investors in the 50.59% combined effective federal, New York state and New York City tax bracket, this is equivalent to a taxable income return of 6.31%.

Generally speaking, the New York municipal bond market — which tends to be relatively higher quality — trails the broad market during periods when lower rated and longer duration bonds excel. However, over the past 12 months, the New York municipal bond market outpaced the broader national tax-exempt bond market due in part to strong demand for New York state tax-exempt bonds and improved credit quality among the larger issuers in the state. A wide variety of revenue bonds — including securities backing higher education facilities and hospitals - contributed to the fund’s overall positive return.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds

Notes to financial statements

1. Organization

American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, The Tax-Exempt Fund of California, which is presently the only series of The American Funds Tax-Exempt Series II, and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York (each a “fund” or collectively, the “funds”), are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as open-end, diversified management investment companies.

Each fund’s investment objectives and the principal strategies each fund uses to achieve these objectives are as follows:

American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund — Seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax, consistent with the maturity and quality standards described in the prospectus, and to preserve capital.

Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America — Seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax, consistent with the maturity and quality standards described in the prospectus, and to preserve capital.

The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America — Seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital.

American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund — Seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax.

The Tax-Exempt Fund of California — Seeks a high level of current income exempt from regular federal and California state income taxes, with a secondary objective of preservation of capital.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York — Seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal, New York state and New York City income taxes, with a secondary objective of preservation of capital.

American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund has three share classes (Class A, as well as two F share classes, F-1 and F-2). Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America and American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund each have six share classes consisting of five retail share classes (Classes A, B and C, as well as two F share classes, F-1 and F-2) and one share class that is only available to the American Funds Portfolio Series (Class R-6). The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York each have five retail share classes (Classes A, B and C, as well as two F share classes, F-1 and F-2). Some share classes are only available to limited categories of investors. The funds’ share classes are described further in the following table:

Share class	Initial sales charge	Contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption	Conversion feature
Class A	Up to 2.50% for American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America; up to 3.75% for all other funds	None (except 1% for certain redemptions within one year of purchase without an initial sales charge)	None
Class B*	None	Declines from 5% to 0% for redemptions within six years of purchase	Class B converts to Class A after eight years
Class C^†	None	1% for redemptions within one year of purchase	Class C converts to Class F-1 after 10 years
Classes F-1 and F-2	None	None	None
Class R-6	None	None	None

*	Class B shares are not available for purchase in Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York.
^†	Class C shares are not available for purchase in Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America.

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, transfer agent and administrative 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 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 funds’ investment adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The funds follow the significant accounting policies described 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 with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities in each fund. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, each impacted fund will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet its payment obligations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations — Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) are allocated daily among the various share classes of each fund based on the relative value of their settled shares. 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 to shareholders are declared daily after the determination of each fund’s net investment income and are paid to shareholders monthly. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on each fund’s ex-dividend date.

3. Valuation

Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”), the funds’ investment adviser, values each fund’s investments at fair value as defined by U.S. GAAP. The net asset value of each share class of each fund is generally determined as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.

Methods and inputs — The funds’ investment adviser uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of each fund’s assets and liabilities. Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic conditions evolve.

Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities, are generally valued at prices obtained from one or more pricing vendors. Vendors value such securities based on one or more of the following inputs: benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, quotations from dealers and trading systems, new issues, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities; and proprietary pricing models such as yield measures calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data. For certain distressed securities, valuations may include cash flows or liquidation values using a net present value calculation based on inputs that include, but are not limited to, financial statements and debt contracts.

When the funds’ investment adviser deems it appropriate to do so (such as when vendor prices are unavailable or deemed to be not representative), fixed-income securities will be valued in good faith at the mean quoted bid and ask prices that are reasonably and timely available (or bid prices, if ask prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Some securities may be valued based on their effective maturity or average life, which may be shorter than the stated maturity.

Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the funds’ investment adviser are fair valued as determined in good faith under fair valuation guidelines adopted by authority of each fund’s board of trustees as further described. The investment adviser follows fair valuation guidelines, consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and guidance, to consider relevant principles and factors when making fair value determinations. The investment adviser considers relevant indications of value that are reasonably and timely available to it in determining the fair value to be assigned to a particular security, such as the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds

Processes and structure — Each fund’s board of trustees has delegated authority to the funds’ 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 boards of trustees with supplemental information to support the changes. Each fund’s board and audit committee also regularly review reports that describe fair value determinations and methods.

The funds’ investment adviser has also established a Fixed-Income Pricing Review Group to administer and oversee the fixed-income valuation process, including the use of fixed-income pricing vendors. This group regularly reviews pricing vendor information and market data. 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 funds’ investment adviser classifies each fund’s assets and liabilities into three levels based on the inputs 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. For example, U.S. government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market. At July 31, 2014, all of the investment securities held by each fund were classified as Level 2.

4. Risk factors

Investing in each fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.

Market conditions — The prices of, and the income generated by, the securities held by the 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, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.

Issuer risks — The values of, and the income generated by, securities held by the funds may also 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 initiative.

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 debt instruments — The prices of, and the income generated by, bonds and other debt securities held by the funds 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 a fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Longer maturity debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than shorter maturity debt securities.

58	American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds

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. Lower quality debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than higher quality debt securities. Credit risk is gauged, in part, by the credit ratings of the debt securities in which a 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 funds’ investment adviser relies on its own credit analysts to research issuers and issues in seeking to mitigate various credit and default risks.

Thinly traded securities — There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular bonds or other debt securities, which may make them more difficult to value, acquire or sell.

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 funds could cause the values of these securities to decline.

Investing in lower rated bonds — Certain funds may invest in lower rated bonds and other lower rated debt securities. 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.

Investing in similar municipal bonds — Investing significantly in municipal obligations of issuers in the same state or backed by revenues of similar types of projects or industries may make the funds more susceptible to certain economic, political or regulatory occurrences. As a result, the potential for fluctuations in the funds’ share prices may increase.

Risks of investing in municipal bonds of issuers within the state of California — Because The Tax-Exempt Fund of California invests primarily in securities of issuers within the state of California, the fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of California securities than a comparable municipal bond mutual fund that does not concentrate its investments in a single state. For example, in the past, California voters have passed amendments to the state’s constitution and other measures that limit the taxing and spending authority of California governmental entities, and future voter initiatives may adversely affect California municipal bonds. More detailed information about the risks of investing in California municipal securities is contained in the fund’s statement of additional information.

Risks of investing in municipal bonds of issuers within the state of New York — Because American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York invests primarily in securities of issuers within the state of New York, the fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of New York securities than a comparable municipal bond mutual fund that does not concentrate its investments in a single state. For example, such factors may include political policy changes, tax base erosion, state constitutional limits on tax increases, budget deficits and other financial or economic difficulties, and changes in the credit ratings assigned to New York’s municipal issuers. New York’s economy and finances may be especially vulnerable to changes in the performance of the financial services sector, which historically has been volatile. More detailed information about the risks of investing in New York municipal securities is contained in the fund’s statement of additional information.

Management — The investment adviser to the funds actively manages the funds’ investments. Consequently, the 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 the funds to lose value or their 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 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. Generally, income earned by each fund is exempt from federal income taxes; however, each fund may earn taxable income from certain investments.

As of and during the period ended July 31, 2014, none of the funds had a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in their respective statement of operations. During the period, none of the funds incurred any significant interest or penalties.

*	The year the fund commenced operations.

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; net capital losses; amortization of discounts; and income on certain investments. 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. Each fund may also designate a portion of the amount paid to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for tax purposes.

As indicated in the following tables, all of the funds had capital loss carryforwards available at July 31, 2014. These will be used to offset any capital gains realized by these funds in future years through the expiration dates. Funds with a capital loss carryforward will not make distributions from capital gains while a capital loss carryforward remains.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after July 31, 2011, (August 31, 2011, for The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America and The Tax-Exempt Fund of California) may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

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

62	American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds

Investment advisory services — Each fund has an investment advisory and service agreement with CRMC that provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on annual rates that generally decrease as average net asset levels increase. The agreements also provide for monthly fees accrued daily based on a series of decreasing rates on each fund’s monthly gross income.

The ranges of rates, net asset levels, gross income levels and annualized rates of average net assets for each fund are as follows:

CRMC has agreed to reimburse a portion of the fees and expenses of American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York during its startup period. This reimbursement may be adjusted or discontinued by CRMC, subject to any restrictions in the fund’s prospectus. For the year ended July 31, 2014, total fees and expenses reimbursed by CRMC were $114,000. Fees and expenses in the statement of operations are presented gross of any reimbursements from CRMC.

Class-specific fees and expenses — Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class of each fund. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are further described below:

Distribution services — Each fund has plans of distribution for all share classes, except Class F-2 and Class R-6 shares, if applicable. Under the plans, each fund’s 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. In some cases, the boards of trustees have limited the amounts that may be paid to less than the maximum allowed by the plans. All share classes with a plan may use the allotted percentage 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary investment portfolios (investment portfolio for American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York), and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York (the “Funds”) at July 31, 2014, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented (other than as noted below for The Tax-Exempt Fund of California), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial statements of The Tax-Exempt Fund of California as of July 31, 2013, and for the fiscal years ended through July 31, 2013 as appearing herein, were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 9, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Expense examples

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. The examples shown on the following pages are intended to help shareholders understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the funds so they 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 (February 1, 2014, through July 31, 2014).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class of each fund 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 entitled “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 of each fund 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:

Class F-1 and F-2 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), if any. 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

The boards of American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, The Tax-Exempt Fund of California and American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York (the “board”) have approved each fund’s Investment Advisory and Service Agreement (the “agreement”) with Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”) for an additional one-year term through March 31, 2015. The board approved the agreement following the recommendation of each fund’s Contracts Committee (the “committee”), which is composed of each fund’s independent board members. The board and the committee determined 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 agreements, 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 its organization; 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 relevant funds (including funds that form the basis of the Lipper index for the category in which the fund is included), and data such as relevant market and fund indexes, over various periods through September 30, 2013. This report, including the letter to shareholders and related disclosures, contains certain information about each fund’s investment results.

American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund seeks to provide current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax, consistent with the maturity and quality standards described in the prospectus, and to preserve capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Average and the Barclays Municipal Short 1-5 Years Index. They noted that the investment results for the fund were above the results of the Lipper average over the 9-month, one-year, three-year and lifetime periods, while below those of the Barclays index for those periods.

Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America seeks to provide current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax, consistent with the maturity and quality standards described in the prospectus, and to preserve capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average and the Barclays Municipal Short-Intermediate 1-10 Years Index. They noted that the investment results for the fund were equal to or above the results of the Lipper average for the 9-month, one-, three- and 10-year periods (although below the results of the average for the five-year and lifetime periods), and were below the results of the Barclays index for all periods shown other than the three-year and five-year periods.

American Funds Tax-Exempt Funds

Approval of Investment Advisory and Service Agreement (continued)

The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average and the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. They noted that the investment results for the fund were above the results of the Lipper average for all periods considered, and were above the results of the Barclays index for the one-year and three-year periods (although below the results of the index for the 9-month, five-year and 10-year periods).

American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against the Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average and the Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index. They noted that the investment results for the fund were above the results of the Lipper average for all periods shown, while below those of the Barclays index for all periods other than the 9-month period.

The Tax-Exempt Fund of California seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal and California income taxes, with a secondary objective of preservation of capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average and the Barclays California Municipal Bond Index. They noted that the investment results for the fund were above the results of the Lipper average for all periods considered, and were above the results of the Barclays index for the three- and five-year periods (although below the results of the Barclays index for the 9-month, one-year and 10-year periods).

American Funds Tax-Exempt Fund of New York seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal, New York state and New York City income taxes, with a secondary objective of preservation of capital. The board and the committee reviewed the fund’s investment results measured against the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Average and the Barclays New York Municipal Bond Index. They noted that the investment results for the fund were above the results of the Lipper average for all periods considered, while below those of the Barclays index for all periods other than the lifetime period.

The board and the committee concluded that each fund’s investment results have been satisfactory and that CRMC’s record in managing the funds indicated that its continued management should benefit the funds and their shareholders.

3. Advisory fees and total expenses

The board and the committee compared the advisory fees and total expense levels of each fund to those of other relevant funds. They observed that each fund’s advisory fees and expenses were below the median fees and expenses of the other funds included in its Lipper category described above. The board and the committee also considered the breakpoint discounts in each fund’s advisory fee structure that reduce the level of fees charged by CRMC to the fund as fund assets increase. In addition, they reviewed information regarding the effective advisory fees charged to non-mutual fund clients by CRMC and its affiliates. They noted that, to the extent there were differences between the advisory fees paid by each fund and the advisory fees paid by those clients, the differences appropriately reflected the investment, operational and regulatory differences between advising the fund 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 funds.

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 other 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 fund’s 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 that while CRMC receives the benefit of research provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of each fund, it does not obtain third-party research or other services in return for allocating brokerage to such broker-dealers. 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 each fund.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Service Agreement (continued)

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 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 noted information regarding the compensation structure for CRMC’s investment professionals. 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. They further considered the breakpoint discounts in each fund’s advisory fee structure. The board and the committee concluded that each fund’s advisory fee structure reflected a reasonable sharing of benefits between CRMC and each fund’s shareholders.

The American Funds 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 System^SM – 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 26 years of investment experience, including 21 years at our company, reflecting a career commitment to our long-term approach.¹

The Capital System^SM

Our investment process, The Capital System, combines individual accountability with teamwork. Each fund is 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.

Superior long-term track record

Our equity funds have beaten their Lipper peer indexes in 90% of 10-year periods and 96% of 20-year periods. Our fixed-income funds have beaten their Lipper indexes in 56% of 10-year periods and 57% of 20-year periods.² Our fund management fees have been among the lowest in the industry.³

¹	Portfolio manager experience as of December 31, 2013.
²	Based on Class A share results for rolling periods through December 31, 2013. Periods covered are the shorter of the fund’s lifetime or since the comparable Lipper index inception date (except SMALLCAP World Fund, for which the Lipper average was used).
³	Based on management fees for the 20-year period ended December 31, 2013, versus comparable Lipper categories, excluding funds of funds.

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 to American Funds Service Company at 800/421-9225 or to the Secretary of the Registrant, 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, California 90071.

ITEM 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Registrant’s board has determined that Laurel B. Mitchell, 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 $26,000 for fiscal year 2013 and $69,000 for fiscal year 2014. 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.

ITEM 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrants

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a listed issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary investment portfolios, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the investment portfolios(included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Funds Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund and The Tax-Exempt Fund of California (the “Funds”) at July 31, 2014, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented (other than as noted below for The Tax-Exempt Fund of California), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements, financial highlights, and investment portfolios (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial statements of The Tax-Exempt Fund of California as of July 31, 2013, and for the fiscal years ended through July 31, 2013 as appearing herein, were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 9, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

ITEM 7 – Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.

ITEM 8 – Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.

ITEM 9 – Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.

ITEM 10 – Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Registrant’s board of trustees since the Registrant last submitted a proxy statement to its shareholders. 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 second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 12 – Exhibits

(a)(1)	The Code of Ethics that is the subject of the disclosure required by Item 2 is attached as an exhibit hereto.

(a)(2)	The certifications required by Rule 30a-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are attached as exhibits hereto.
