[edit] Company edited?
This article sounds like it was written by the company. Previous editions of this article in the history show (with reference) that, for instance, '[American Funds] is one of few major Fund families to escape unscathed from the recent SEC crackdown on the mutual fund industry' is misleading. Also notice that the person that did the editing for this page is anonymous and did editing for Capital Group Companies. I'm going to include that previous version with the reference to counter what is in the many edits already on the January 6th entries. andye 01:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I removed the biased sentence ("What Makes Us Different" page on the company's own website is quite far from a neutral source) and added some references requirements. Let's see if American Funds' PR people jump out... EIFY 08:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
This profile also contradicts information regarding Fidelity, which has statements suggesting it also has over $1.5 trillion in assets under management; in either case, without further definitive documentation, neither company can claim the title of "largest." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.123.173 (talk) 05:22, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
The difference between the Fidelity and American "we're number one!" is that Fidelity does have more assets under management, but a huge chunk is in their money market funds. American's claim to number one is based on dollars that are actually invested in stocks and bonds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.85.209.39 (talk) 20:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
