The Capital Group Companies

 

Student Center: MBA

We’re committed to providing consistently superior long-term investment results and services to our mutual fund shareholders and institutional investors.

Our investment professionals have unique experience and act on individual convictions. Our process encourages diversity of thought and style; we don’t force anyone into a mold or particular approach to investing. We believe shareholders ultimately benefit from this variety of outlooks and investment styles. Our culture and our work environment also benefit tremendously.

Our investment process is characterized by a focus on global research.

  • Under our multiple portfolio counselor system, assets are managed by portfolio counselors (or managers) and research analysts.
  • All our research analysts manage money. The career analyst track is based on the notion of offering equal respect and opportunity to research analysts and portfolio counselors.
  • Our research analysts and portfolio counselors work in small groups within independent research units. This allows them the flexibility needed to share and debate ideas, an environment we believe leads to better decisions and investment results.
  • We operate multiple investment companies, which allows for flexibility, autonomy and strong relationships with colleagues.
  • We benefit from the resources (technology, travel, experienced colleagues) that come from being part of a large organization.

Research

To determine a security’s true worth, our investment professionals get to know a company inside and out. Many of our research analysts have been building relationships with the same companies for decades. Our global presence and depth of experienced investment professionals provide unique research advantages. We operate one of the industry’s most globally integrated research networks, visiting companies both before and after investing. Our analysts sit down face to face with company executives, but they’ll also meet with suppliers, bankers, customers and competitors to get a well-rounded view of a firm’s operations.

Our campus recruiting focuses on the following areas of investment research:
