The Capital Group Companies, Inc. · Los Angeles, CA United States

If mutual fund firms were described like potential romantic partners in lonely hearts ads, The Capital Group Companies might be marriage material. The mutual fund firm, founded in 1931, is quiet (they don't advertise or grant many interviews), stable (it prides itself on consistency and believes investment decisions should not be taken lightly), and faithful (most of its investments and its executives are long-term). Subsidiary Capital Research and Management manages The American Funds, a family of about 30 mutual funds that ranks among the largest groups of mutual funds by assets in the US. Other Capital Group units offer mutual funds in Canada and Europe, and investment trusts in Japan. To read the full description, subscribe now.
