Management prefers blue-chip stocks. It also keeps a fair amount in cash and bonds, which "[makes] it one of our more conservative growth and income funds," says Dale Hanks, vice president of Capital Research and Management. The fund does not invest in companies that get the majority of their money from tobacco or alcohol.
