contains all information and legal documentation necessary to process the transaction. Orders in good order received after the
New York Stock Exchange closes (scheduled or unscheduled) will be processed at the net asset value (plus any applicable sales charge)
calculated on the following business day. A contingent deferred sales charge may apply at the time you sell certain Class A and
C shares.
11. The following is added after the second paragraph under the heading “Valuing shares” in the “Purchase,
exchange and sale of shares” section of the prospectus for each of the funds listed below:
| · GIF | · IVE |

the day after Thanksgiving) or an unscheduled close prior to 4 p.m. New York time, the net asset value of the fund will be determined
at approximately the time the New York Stock Exchange closes on that day. If on such a day market quotations and prices from third-party
pricing services are not based as of the time of the early close of the New York Stock Exchange but are as of a later time (up
to approximately 4 p.m. New York time), for example because the market remains open after the close of the New York Stock Exchange,
those later market quotations and prices will be used in determining the fund’s net asset value. The fund may also calculate
its share price on days the New York Stock Exchange is closed, consistent with applicable regulatory guidance.

once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4 p.m. New York time, each day the New York
Stock Exchange is open. If the New York Stock Exchange makes a scheduled (e.g. the day after Thanksgiving) or an unscheduled close
prior to 4 p.m. New York time, the net asset value of the fund will be determined at approximately the time the New York Stock
Exchange closes on that day. If on such a day market quotations and prices from third-party pricing services are not based as of
the time of the early close of the New York Stock Exchange but are as of a later time (up to approximately 4 p.m. New York
time), for example because the market remains open after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, those later market quotations
and prices will be used in determining the fund’s net asset value.
Orders in good order received after the New York Stock Exchange closes (scheduled or unscheduled) will be processed at the net
asset value (plus any applicable sales charge) calculated on the following business day. The New York Stock Exchange is currently
closed on weekends and on the following holidays: New Year’s Day; Martin Luther King Jr. Day; Presidents’ Day; Good
Friday; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Labor Day; Thanksgiving; and Christmas Day. Each share class of the fund has a separately
calculated net asset value (and share price).
Orders received by the investment dealer or authorized designee, the Transfer Agent or the fund after the time of the determination
of the net asset value will be entered at the next calculated offering price. Note that investment dealers or other intermediaries
may have their own rules about share transactions and may have earlier cut-off times than those of the fund. For more information
about how to purchase through your intermediary, contact your intermediary directly.
11. The third and fourth paragraphs in the “Price of shares” section of the American Funds U.S. Government Money
Market Fund statement of additional information is amended to read as follows:
Prices that appear in the newspaper do
not always indicate prices at which you will be purchasing and redeeming shares of the fund, since such prices generally reflect
the previous day’s closing price, while purchases and redemptions are made at the next calculated price. The price you pay
for shares, the offering price, is based on the net asset value per share which is calculated once daily as of the close of regular
trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4 p.m. New York time, each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. If the New
York Stock Exchange makes a scheduled (e.g. the day after Thanksgiving) or an unscheduled close prior to 4 p.m. New York time,
the net asset value of the fund will be determined at approximately the time the New York Stock Exchange closes on that day. If
on such a day market quotations and prices from third-party pricing services are not based as of the time of the early close of
the New York Stock Exchange but are as of a later time (up to approximately 4 p.m. New York time), for example because the market
remains open after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, those later market quotations and prices will be used in determining
the fund’s net asset value. The fund may also calculate its share price on days the New York Stock Exchange is closed, consistent
with applicable regulatory guidance.
Orders in good order received after the New York Stock Exchange closes (scheduled or unscheduled) will be processed at the net
asset value (plus any applicable sales charge) calculated on the following business day. The New York Stock Exchange is currently
closed on weekends and on the following holidays: New Year’s Day; Martin Luther King Jr. Day; Presidents’ Day; Good
Friday; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Labor Day; Thanksgiving; and Christmas Day.
Orders received by the investment dealer or authorized designee, the Transfer Agent or the fund after the time of the determination
of the net asset value will be entered at the next calculated offering price. Note that investment dealers or other intermediaries
