<h2> The Founding Years</h2>

Jonathan Bell Lovelace was raised in Southern Alabama by a family who

was in the timber business. He initially studied to become an architect

at what was then Alabama Polytechnic (Currently <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auburn_University" title="Auburn University">Auburn University</a>). After college, he enlisted in the military, working on a project that pioneered anti-aircraft artillery.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Group_Companies#cite_note-1">[2]</a>

Lovelace worked with E.E. MacCrone & Company, eventually becoming a

partner. In 1929, Lovelace believed the stock market to be wildly

overvalued and sold his stake in the company. In 1931, he founded an

investment firm, Lovelace, Dennis & Renfrew, what would eventually

become the Capital Group Companies. The early company was a model of

efficiency, with communications between Los Angeles and New York being

hugely expensive.

<h2> Overview</h2>

Capital Group is headquartered in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles,California" title="Los Angeles, California" class="mw-redirect">Los Angeles, California</a>, and has over 7,000 associates in 23 office locations around the globe, including offices in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva" title="Geneva">Geneva</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney" title="Sydney">Sydney</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto" title="Toronto">Toronto</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo" title="Tokyo">Tokyo</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong" title="Hong Kong">Hong Kong</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai" title="Mumbai">Mumbai</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore" title="Singapore">Singapore</a>. The company also has a large newly built campus in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irvine,California" title="Irvine, California">Irvine, California</a>,

making it one of the largest employers in that city. Due to the recent

decline in the markets and economy, the company has reduced its staff by

over 1,500 from the previous high of 9,000 associates. Its families of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_funds" title="Mutual funds" class="mw-redirect">mutual funds</a> include "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Funds" title="American Funds">American Funds</a>"

and "Capital International Funds." On the institutional side, Capital

manages money for pensions, governments, and other entities worldwide.

It also manages money for wealthy individuals and engages in private

equity investments. One of its subsidiaries, Capital International, was

responsible for the construction of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Stanley_Capital_International" title="Morgan Stanley Capital International" class="mw-redirect">MSCI</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_market_index" title="Stock market index">stock market indices</a>. The Capital Group was voted as the third-most satisfactory workplace in the Greater Los Angeles area by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Business_Journal" title="Los Angeles Business Journal">Los Angeles Business Journal</a> in 2006.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Group_Companies#cite_note-2">[3]</a>

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Funds" title="American Funds">American Funds</a>, managed by the Capital Group Companies was as of June 2007 the largest family of mutual funds in the US, followed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vanguard_Group" title="The Vanguard Group">The Vanguard Group</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidelity_Investments" title="Fidelity Investments">Fidelity Investments</a>, with roughly $1.3 trillion in assets under management[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>].

In 2008, Capital Research and Management Company implemented the

disaggregation of its equity investment operations to become known as

Capital Research Global Investors and Capital World Investors.

A study published in September, 2009 in the scientific journal <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Review" title="Physical Review">Physical Review E</a>

on the topic of new network analysis methodologies in economics

concluded — in the course of presenting an example — that The Capital

Group was the most powerful controlling shareholder in the global stock

market, with major stakes in 36 of the 48 countries studied.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Group_Companies#cite_note-3">[4]</a>

Capital Group is organized into tiers of subsidiaries, one of which

is the wholly owned Capital Guardian Trust Company, which in turn

manages the division, Personal Investment Management, founded in 1974 to

manage the assets of employees and retirees of The Capital Group

Companies.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Group_Companies#cite_note-4">[5]</a>
