American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund Fiscal Year-End Summary: 7/31/15 Tax-Exempt Bond Fund American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund offers opportunities for higher tax-exempt income and diversification. Ticker symbols: A shares: AMHIX F-1 shares: ABHFX F-2 shares: AHMFX Figures shown are past results for Class A shares and are not predictive of results in future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. Share prices and returns will vary, so investors may lose money. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely. Unless otherwise indicated, results shown are at net asset value with all distributions reinvested. If the 3.75% maximum Class A sales charge had been deducted, results would have been lower. For current information and month-end results, visit americanfunds.com. High-Yield Opportunities The fund seeks to offer higher income than investment-grade (rated BBB/Baa and above) municipal bond funds for investors willing to assume the higher risks of highyield bonds. As of 7/31/15, the fund s distribution rate was 4.07%. To match this rate, an investor in the 43.4% tax bracket would have to find a taxable investment with a yield of 7.19%.* Thorough Analysis To manage the additional risks associated with high-yield investing, we rely on the extensive proprietary research efforts of our portfolio managers, analysts, economists and traders. We combine top-down analysis of macroeconomic, political and monetary forces with in-depth, bottomup research on individual securities and issuers. Diversified Portfolio As of its fiscal year-end on 7/31/15, the fund owned bonds from approximately 580 issuers in 48 states. Because highyield municipal bonds are typically sold in blocks of $100,000, the fund offers greater diversification than most individual investors can achieve in this asset class. The High-Yield Difference A History of Lower Volatility Than Its Peers 12-month distribution rates as of 7/31/15 10-fiscal-year period as of 7/31/15 American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund 4.1 American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund 6.2 General and Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average 3.2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6% High Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average 7.6 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Volatility 12-month distribution rates, also known as yields, are calculated at net asset value by Lipper. Lipper General and Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average represents funds that invest in municipal debt issues in the top four rating categories (BBB/Baa and above). Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average represents funds that invest at least 50% of their assets in lower rated (BB/Ba and below) municipal debt issues. Volatility is calculated by Lipper using annualized standard deviation (based on monthly returns), a measure of how returns have varied from the mean over time; a lower number signifies lower volatility. * Taxable equivalent rate is calculated using the top 2015 effective federal income tax rate and includes the 3.8% Medicare tax. Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.

Experienced Portfolio Management The fund s three portfolio managers each manage a portion of fund assets independently and have a median 24 years of investment experience as of the prospectus dated 10/1/15.

The SEC yield reflects the rate at which the fund is earning income on its current portfolio of securities, while the distribution rate reflects the fund s past dividends paid to shareholders. Accordingly, the fund s SEC yield and distribution rate may differ. The return of principal for the fund is not guaranteed. Fund shares are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings. Lower rated bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated bonds. Income may be subject to state or local income taxes and/or the federal alternative minimum tax. Certain other income, as well as capital gain distributions, may be taxable.

Quarterly Statistical Update March 31, 2016 This update must be used (until superseded) with any American Funds and CollegeAmerica sales materials that include investment results for periods ended before the date shown. As a practical matter, financial advisors should consider including this update with all American Funds and CollegeAmerica sales literature. This material may be photocopied. Investment results updated monthly, and daily share price information, are available at americanfunds.com. Exchange privileges generally allow shareholders to transfer some or all of their holdings among American Funds in the same share class without a sales charge. CollegeAmerica allows exchanges twice per calendar year and when the beneficiary is changed. Class A, C and F-1 shares generally may be exchanged into the corresponding 529 share class without a sales charge, but such exchanges from UGMA or UTMA custodial accounts may create significant legal and tax consequences. Exchange privileges are subject to change or termination. American Funds American Funds Class A shares are subject to a 5.75% maximum up-front sales charge for equity funds, Retirement Income Portfolio Series funds and most Portfolio Series funds, 3.75% for most bond and tax-exempt bond funds and American Funds Tax-Advantaged Income Portfolio, and 2.50% for shorter term bond funds, American Funds Preservation Portfolio and American Funds Tax-Exempt Preservation Portfolio. There is no sales charge for the Class A money market fund. Share classes without an up-front sales charge are also available. Class C shares have a 1% contingent deferred sales charge on shares sold within the first year of purchase and convert to Class F-1 shares after 10 years. Class F-1 and F-2 shares have an annual assetbased fee charged by the sponsoring firm. New investments in Class B shares are no longer allowed. For more information and investment results, please see americanfunds.com. Class C shares are limited to a maximum purchase of $500,000, and are not available to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans. Class F-1 and F-2 shares are available only through certain fee-based programs offered by registered investment advisors. Your financial advisor can help you decide which share class is best for you. Class F-2 shares were introduced on August 1, 2008. Fund results prior to the date of first sale are hypothetical, based on Class A share returns without a sales charge and adjusted for typical additional expenses as described on pages 8 and 9. Individual fund expenses are also shown on pages 8 and 9. American Funds in CollegeAmerica CollegeAmerica, a 529 college savings plan sponsored by Virginia529 SM, is available nationwide and allows federal-tax-free earnings and withdrawals for a beneficiary's qualified higher education expenses. (Qualified withdrawals from 529 plans are exempt from federal income tax. Qualified withdrawals may also be exempt from state income tax. Check with a tax advisor. If withdrawals are used for purposes other than higher education, the earnings will be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty in addition to federal and, if applicable, state income tax.) Interests in CollegeAmerica are sold through unaffiliated intermediaries. Depending on your state of residence, there may be an instate plan that provides tax and other benefits not available through CollegeAmerica. CollegeAmerica features four share classes. Class 529-A, 529-C and 529-F-1 shares are structured similarly to American Funds Class A, C and F-1 shares, respectively. Unless otherwise indicated, 529 share class details (including sales charges and share conversion) are generally the same as the corresponding American Funds share class. Class 529-E shares are structured similarly to Class 529-F-1 shares but are available only through eligible employer-sponsored plans. Unless otherwise indicated, Class 529-E share details are generally the same as Class 529-F-1 shares. New investments in Class 529-B shares are no longer allowed. More information and investment results for Class 529-B and 529-E shares can be found on americanfunds.com. Class 529-C shares do not convert to Class 529-F-1 shares after 10 years. Class 529-F-1 shares are available only through certain feebased programs offered by broker-dealer firms and registered investment advisors. CollegeAmerica investors can contribute up to $14,000 a year per beneficiary ($28,000 for married couples) without gift-tax consequences. With a special gift-tax election, five years' worth of investments can be accelerated, so investors can contribute up to $70,000 at one time ($140,000 for married couples). Each beneficiary is limited to $350,000 in combined account values (including investments and earnings) of all 529 plans administered by Virginia529. Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value. Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other important information is contained in the fund prospectuses, summary prospectuses and CollegeAmerica Program Description, which can be obtained from a financial professional and should be read carefully before investing. CollegeAmerica is distributed by American Funds Distributors, Inc., and sold through unaffiliated intermediaries. Investing outside the United States involves risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility, as more fully described in the prospectus. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries. Diversification does not eliminate the risks of investing; losses are possible in diversified portfolios. Small-company stocks entail additional risks, and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks.
