Code of Ethics

June 2022

Capital Group associates are responsible for maintaining the highest ethicalstandards. The Code of Ethics is intended to help associates observe exemplary standards of integrity, honesty and trust. It sets outstandards for our personal conduct, including personal investing, gifts and entertainment, outside business interests and affiliations,political contributions, insider trading, and client confidentiality.

Our fund shareholders and clients have placed their trust in Capital tomanage their assets. As investment advisers, we act as fiduciaries to our clients. This means we owe them both a duty of care and a dutyof loyalty.

Capital has earned a reputation over many years for acting with the highestintegrity and ethics. Reputations are fragile, however, and Capital’s reputation can be harmed if any of us fails to act ethicallyand in the best interests of our clients. We each must hold ourselves to the highest standards of behavior, regardless of business custom,and strive to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. We all share this responsibility — if you have any doubt whether an actionor circumstance is consistent with our standards, raise it.

Associates should be aware that their actions outside of the workplace canreflect on the ethics of our organization and potentially harm our reputation. For this reason, associates should exercise caution andgood judgment in order to avoid having their actions outside of the workplace impact Capital, our workplace or our associates.

No set of rules can anticipate every possible situation, so it is essentialthat associates adhere to the spirit as well as the letter of the Code of Ethics. Any activity that compromises the trust our clientshave placed in us, even if it does not expressly violate a rule, has the potential to harm our reputation. Associates are reminded ofone of Capital’s core principles: that we must do the right thing as a matter of principle, not just in observance of policy.

In addition to the specific policies described below, associates have thefollowing fundamental obligations under the Code of Ethics:

Associates must avoid those situations that might place, or appear to place, their personal interests in conflict with the interests of Capital, our clients or fund shareholders.
Associates must not take advantage of their role with Capital to benefit themselves or another party.
Associates must comply with the laws, rules and regulations that apply to us in the conduct of our business.
Associates must promptly report violations of the Code of Ethics.

It is important that all associates comply with the Code of Ethics, includingits related guidelines and policies. Failure to do so could result in disciplinary action, including termination.

Questions regarding the Code of Ethics may be directed to the Code of EthicsTeam.

Working ethically

In order to maintain the highest ethical standards, Capital strives to recruit,hire and retain exceptional and diverse talent. We can only do so by offering a work environment where associates have a voice, feel respectedand can thrive, grow, and bring their most authentic selves to the workplace. In order to help foster such an environment, we have establishedcertain employment policies designed in part to ensure associates interact in a professional, productive and inclusive manner. All associatesare expected to be familiar and comply with these and the other policies included in our Associate Handbooks. Because we hold ourselvesto the highest ethical standards, our policies often exceed what may be required by law or observed at other companies.

The following sections summarize some of your obligations under the AssociateHandbook. Due to their importance to our workplace, violation of the policies in our Associate Handbooks could result in disciplinaryaction, up to and including termination of employment.

Providing equal employment opportunities and preventingdiscrimination and harassment

All associates at Capital are responsible for maintaining a professional,inclusive work environment. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not tolerate discrimination. Our policies prohibit unlawful discriminationon the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex (including gender, gender expression and gender identity), pregnancy,childbirth and related medical conditions, age, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status,sexual orientation, citizenship status, AIDS/HIV status, political activities or affiliations, military or veteran status, status as avictim of domestic violence, assault or stalking or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law.

Harassment is a form of discrimination and violates our commitment to equalemployment opportunities. Harassment in violation of our policies occurs when unwelcome comments or conduct based on a protected statusunreasonably interfere with an associate’s work performance or create an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.

We are committed to promptly investigating and taking action to eliminateany discrimination and harassment that occurs in the workplace. When requested by our Human Resources or Legal Department, all associatesare expected to cooperate fully in any investigation into a violation of our policies against discrimination and harassment. Our commitmentis to address such claims promptly and to take corrective action as appropriate.

Associates are encouraged to report harassment to Human Resources, any managerin the organization or through our Open Line (contact information for Open Line is outlined below in Reporting requirements).

Close personal relationships in the office

When associates have a close personal, intimate or familial relationshipin the workplace, it can create an actual or potential conflict of interest. It can also negatively impact the work environment. For thisreason, Capital requires that all associates report any personal intimate or familial relationship with another associate or a businesspartner employee to Human Resources. Under this policy, certain relationships are prohibited, such as intimate relationships between managersand associates in their reporting lines.

Interacting with the public

Regardless of whether you are speaking on behalf of Capital or simply usingsocial media for personal use, we expect all associates to maintain both client and firm confidentiality, and to protect the firm’sreputation. The lines between public and private, personal and professional, can become blurred, particularly within the realm of socialmedia. By identifying yourself as a Capital associate within a social network, you are connected, either directly or indirectly, to colleagues,managers, clients and investors. Information originally intended for friends and family can be forwarded and, ultimately, lead to unintendedconsequences. For this reason, associates should exercise extra caution and good judgment and avoid mixing personal and business socialnetworks and ensure that they abide by all local laws and regulations and applicable Capital policies, such as the policy against harassment.

Protecting sensitive information

Capital Group regularly creates, collects, and maintains valuable proprietaryinformation, which is essential to our business operations and the performance of services for our clients. This information derives itsvalue, in part, from not being generally known outside of Capital (hereinafter “Confidential Information”). It includes confidentialelectronic information in any medium, hard-copy information, and information shared orally or visually (such as by telephone or videoconference). The confidentiality, integrity and limited availability of such information is regarded as fundamental to the successfulbusiness operations of Capital Group. The purpose of the Confidential Information Policy is to protect our information from disclosure– intentional or inadvertent – and to ensure that associates understand their obligation to protect and maintain its confidentiality.

Code of Ethics guidelines

No special treatment from broker-dealers

Associates may not accept negotiated commission rates or any other termsthey believe may be more favorable than the broker-dealer grants to accounts with similar characteristics. U.S. broker-dealers are subjectto certain rules designed to prevent favoritism toward such accounts. Favors or preferential treatment from broker-dealers may not beaccepted. This rule applies to the associate’s spouse/spouse equivalent and any immediate family member residing in the same household.

No excessive trading of Capital-affiliated funds

Associates should not engage in excessive trading of the American Fundsor other Capital-managed investment vehicles worldwide in order to take advantage of short-term market movements. Excessive activity,such as a frequent pattern of exchanges, could involve actual or potential harm to shareholders or clients. This rule applies to the associate’sspouse/spouse equivalent and any immediate family member residing in the same household.

All associates and immediate family members residing in the same householdmay not participate in IPOs or ICOs.

Exceptions for participation in IPOs are rarely granted; however, they willbe considered on a case-by-case basis (for example, where a family member is employed by the IPO company and IPO shares are consideredpart of that family member’s compensation).

Avoiding conflicts

Associates must avoid conflicts of interest that can occur when their business,financial or other interests interfere, or reasonably appear to interfere, with their duty to serve the interests of Capital and our clients.Conflicts of interest include any situation where financial or other personal factors compromise objectivity or professional judgment.Even the appearance of conflict could negatively impact Capital and harm our reputation.

Portfolio managers and investment analysts should be aware of the potentialconflicts that can arise when they invest on behalf of fund shareholders and clients. The investments we make for our clients must bebased on their best interests, and should not be, or appear to be, based on the self-interest of our associates. Accordingly, membersof the investment group must disclose to the Code of Ethics Team if they or any of their family members, such as parents, children, siblings,in-laws or other family members with whom they have a close relationship, has a material business, financial or personal relationshipwith a company that they hold or are eligible to purchase professionally. Examples of a material relationship include: (1) a family memberserving as a senior officer or executive of a portfolio company, (2) significant beneficial ownership of a portfolio company by the associateor their family members, and (3) involvement by the associate or a family member in a significant transaction or business opportunitywith a portfolio company.

In addition, associates should avoid conflicts related to Capital’sbusiness, and therefore must not:

Engage in a business that competes, directly or indirectly, with the interests of Capital, or is related to their role or responsibilities at Capital;
Act for Capital in any transaction or business relationship that involves the associate, members of their family or other people or organizations with whom the associate or their family member(s) have a significant personal connection or financial interest;

Negotiate with Capital on behalf of any such people or organizations; or
Use or attempt to use their position at Capital to obtain any improper personal benefit for themselves, family member(s) or any other party.

No policy can anticipate every possible conflict of interest and all associatesmust be vigilant in guarding against anything that could color our judgment. Any associate who is aware of a transaction or relationshipthat could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest or perceived conflict of interest must disclose the matter promptlyto a member of the Code of Ethics Team. If there is any doubt or if something does not feel consistent with our standards, raise the issue.

Any changes in a previously disclosed potential conflict, outside businessinterest or affiliation that could be relevant to an evaluation of a potential conflict must also be promptly disclosed. Examples of changesto disclose include: (1) a change in research coverage of an investment analyst to include a company with a family member serving as asenior executive (even if the senior executive relationship had previously been disclosed); (2) a change in an associate’s roleto trader if the associate had previously disclosed a sibling who works as a sell-side trader; and 3) a change in the line of businessor activities of an outside business interest of an associate.

Outside business interests/affiliations

Associates should avoid outside business interests or affiliations thatmay give rise to conflicts of interest or that may create divided loyalties, divert substantial amounts of their time, or compromise theirindependent judgment.

Associates must obtain approval from the Code of Ethics Team to serve onthe board of directors or as an advisory board member of any public or private company. This rule does not apply to: (1) boards of Capitalcompanies or funds; (2) board service that is a direct result of the associate’s responsibilities at Capital, such as for portfoliocompanies of private equity funds managed by Capital; or (3) boards of non-profit and charitable organizations. Associates must discloseto the Code of Ethics Team if they serve on the board of a non-profit or charitable organization that has issued or has future plans toissue publicly held securities, including debt obligations.

In addition, associates must disclose to the Code of Ethics Team if theyor any of their family members, such as parents, children, siblings, in-laws or other family members with whom they have a close relationship:

serves as a board director or as an advisory board member of,
holds a senior officer position, such as CEO, CFO or Treasurer with, or
owns 5% or more, individually or together with other such family members, of

any public company or any private company that may be reasonably expectedto go public.

In addition to the disclosure obligations set forth above, associates shouldbe mindful of and must disclose to the Code of Ethics Team any other outside business interest or activity that may present a conflictof interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest or that may compromise their independent judgment. For example, associates mustdisclose if they have a significant interest in a private company that does business with or competes with Capital, even if that companyis not reasonably expected to go public.

Family members employed by a financial institution

Associates who are “Covered Associates” (as defined below) mustdisclose if any of their family members, such as parents, children, siblings, in-laws or other family members with whom they have a closerelationship, is employed by a broker-dealer, investment adviser or other firm that provides investment research or trade execution servicesto Capital.

Policies

Capital’s policies regarding gifts and entertainment, political contributions,insider trading and personal investing are summarized below.

Gifts and Entertainment Policy

The Gifts and Entertainment Policy (Policy) is intended to ensurethat gifts and entertainment involving associates do not raise questions of propriety regarding Capital’s business relationshipsor prospective business relationships, or Capital’s interactions with government officials. If a gift or entertainment is excessive,repetitive or extravagant, it can raise the appearance of favoritism or the potential for a conflict of interest. By understanding andfollowing the Policy requirements, associates help Capital safeguard the company and ensure compliance with regulatory rules.

Associates may not accept from or give to any one individual or entity a gift or group of gifts exceeding in aggregate $100 in a 12-month calendar year period if such a person or entity conducts, or may conduct, business with Capital. Trading department associates are subject to different limits and reporting requirements and are generally not permitted to receive gifts. Trading associates may be asked to return gifts received.
Associates must receive approval from their manager and the Code of Ethics Team before accepting or extending entertainment with a market value greater than $500. This value is cumulative for associates and their invited guests. Trading department associates are prohibited from accepting entertainment, regardless of value, unless the associate or Capital pays.

Gifts or entertainment extended to a private-sector person by a Capitalassociate and approved by the associate’s manager for reimbursement by Capital do not need to be reported (or precleared). Tradingdepartment associates should report gifts and entertainment extended regardless of reimbursement. Dollar amounts refer to U.S. dollars.

Please note AFD/CGIIS associates are subject to separate policies regardingextending gifts and entertainment and are also required under the Policy to report all gifts and entertainment, regardless of value.

Capital Group is registered as a federal lobbyist and special rules applyto gifts and entertainment involving government officials and employees as a result. Associates must receive approval from Capital’sCode of Ethics Team prior to either: (1) hosting a federal government official or employee at a Capital facility if anything of value(e.g. food, tangible item) will be presented to that individual; or (2) providing anything of value to a federal government official oremployee if Capital will pay or reimburse for the related cost.

Reporting

The limitations relating to gifts and entertainment apply to all associatesas described above, and associates will be asked to complete quarterly disclosures. Associates must report any gift exceeding $50 andbusiness entertainment in which an event exceeds $75 (although it is recommended that associates report all gifts and entertainment).Trading department associates should notify the Code of Ethics Team when gifts are received and report such gifts quarterly, whetherthe gift is received by an individual associate or by a department. In addition, trading associates should report gifts and entertainmentextended regardless of reimbursement.

Charitable contributions

Associates must not allow Capital’s present or anticipatedbusiness to be a factor in soliciting political or charitable contributions from outside parties. In addition, it is generally not appropriateto solicit these outside parties or Capital associates for donations to a family-run non-profit organization, family foundation, donor-advisedfund or other charitable organization in which an associate or their family members are significantly involved. Board membership alonewould not be considered significant involvement.

Gifts and Entertainment Committee

Political Contributions Policy

Associates must be cautious when engaging in personal political activities,particularly when supporting officials, candidates, or organizations that may be in a position to influence decisions to award businessto investment management firms. Associates should not make political contributions to officials or candidates (in any country) for thepurpose of influencing the hiring of a Capital Group company as an advisor to a governmental entity. Associates are encouraged to contactthe Code of Ethics Team with any questions about this policy.

Associates may not use Capital offices or equipment to engagein political fundraising or solicitation activity, for example, hosting a fundraising event at the office or using Capital phones or emailsystems to help solicit donations for an elected official, a candidate, Political Action Committee (PAC) or political party. Associatesmay volunteer their time on behalf of a candidate or political organization but should limit volunteer activities to non-work hours.

For contributions or activities supporting candidates or politicalorganizations within the U.S., we have adopted the guidelines set forth below, which apply to associates classified as “RestrictedAssociates.”

Guidelines for political contributions and activities withinthe U.S.


U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations limit political contributions to certain Covered Government Officials by certainemployees of investment advisory firms and certain affiliated companies. “Covered Government Official,” for purposes of thePolitical Contributions Policy, is defined as: (1) a state or local official; (2) a candidate for state or local office; or (3) a federalcandidate currently holding state or local office.

Many U.S. cities and states have also adopted regulations restricting politicalcontributions by associates of investment management firms seeking to provide services to a governmental entity. Some associates are alsosubject to these regulations.

Restricted Associates

Certain associates are deemed “Restricted Associates” underthis Policy. Restricted Associates include (1) “covered associates” as defined in the SEC’s rule relating to politicalcontributions by investment advisers (Rule 206(4)-5 under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940); and (2) other associates who do not meetthat definition but whom Capital has determined should be subject to the restrictions on political contributions contained in the Policybased on their roles and responsibilities at Capital. Contributions by Restricted Associates and their spouse/spouse equivalent are subjectto specific limitations, preclearance, and reporting requirements as described below.

Preclearance of political contributions

Contributions by Restricted Associates to any of the following must be precleared:

State or local officials, or candidates for state or local office

Restricted Associates must also preclear U.S. political contributions bytheir spouse/spouse equivalent to any of the foregoing, as well as contributions to any state, local or federal political party or politicalparty committee, if the aggregate contributions by the Restricted Associate and spouse/spouse equivalent to any one candidateor political entity equals or exceeds $100,000 in a calendar year.

Certain documentation is required for contributions to Covered GovernmentalOfficials, PACs or Super PACs, and may be required for contributions to other entities that engage in political activity.

Contributions to joint fund-raising committees
Contributions made by a Political Action Committee (PAC) controlled by a Restricted Associate[1]

[1] “Control” for this purpose includes service asan officer or member of the board (or other governing body) of a PAC.

Required documentation

Restricted Associates must obtain additional documentation from an independentlegal authority before they will be approved to contribute to Covered Government Officials. The purpose of the legal documentation isto verify that a specific state or local office does not have the ability to directly or indirectly influence the awarding of businessto an investment manager. For contributions to PACs, Super PACs, or other entities that engage in political activities, Restricted Associatesmay be required to obtain a certification that the entity does not contribute to Covered Government Officials. The Code of Ethics Teamwill provide language for the documentation when you preclear the contribution.

If a candidate currently holds a state/local office and is running for adifferent state/local office, legal documentation must be obtained for both the current position and the office for which the candidateis running. Exceptions to the documentation requirements may be granted on a case-by-case basis.

Insider Trading Policy

Antifraud provisions of U.S. securities laws as well as the laws of othercountries generally prohibit persons in possession of material non-public information from trading on or communicating the informationto others. Sanctions for violations can include civil injunctions, permanent bars from the securities industry, civil penalties up tothree times the profits made or losses avoided, criminal fines and jail sentences. In addition, trading in fund shares while in possessionof material, non-public information that may have an immediate impact on the value of the fund’s shares may constitute insider trading.

While investment research analysts are most likely to come in contact withmaterial non-public information, the rules (and sanctions) in this area apply to all Capital associates and extend to activities bothwithin and outside each associate's duties.

Additional policies for Investment Professionals and CIKKassociates

Report cross-holdings for certain Investment Professionals

Portfolio managers, research directors and investment analysts are requiredto report issuers owned personally by you or an immediate family member residing in your household that you also own professionally, ona quarterly basis. If you are a research director or an investment analyst, you are also required to report issuers owned personally byyou or an immediate family member residing in your household that are within your research responsibilities. This reporting must be madeto the Code of Ethics Team and may be reviewed by various Capital committees.

When recommending a security for purchase or sale in a fund or client accountthat you or a family member residing in your household own personally, you should first disclose such personal ownership either in writing(in a company write-up) or verbally (when discussing the company at investment meetings) prior to making a recommendation. This disclosurerequirement is consistent with both the CFA Institute standards as well as the ICI Advisory Group Guidelines.

Ban on short-term trading

Investment Professionals and CIKK associates are prohibited from engagingin short-term trading of reportable securities and economically equivalent instruments.

Associates and their family members may not buy and then sell or sell andthen buy the same security and/or economically equivalent instruments:

Within 60 -calendar days for Investment Professionals
Within 6 months for CIKK associates

Economically equivalent instruments include derivatives or other securitiesor instruments with a value derived from the value of the subject security. Additionally, they may not enter into an option or other derivativeinstrument that expires within 60 days from purchase.

Investment Professionals and CIKK associates should contact the Code ofEthics Team before transacting if they have any questions about the application of this rule to transactions in derivatives.

Failure to comply with this requirement may result in remedial action, includingdisgorgement of the profits.

Blackout periods

Investment Professionals may not buy or sell a security during the sevencalendar days after Capital has transacted in that security’s issuer for a fund or client account. If you are affiliated with aninvestment group, the blackout period applies to trades in the same investment group with which you are affiliated.

For example, if you receiveda better price than the fund or client accounts, you may be subject to a price adjustment, and may be asked to donate to a charitableorganization. This blackout period helps mitigate the appearance of front running.

In addition, information about particular transactions may be provided to an associate’smanager, appropriate Human Resources manager and/or a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) by the Code of Ethics Team if the transactions arein violation of this Policy.
