The Capital Group Companies, Inc.
 PROFILE
If asset management companies were described like potential romantic partners in lonely hearts ads, The Capital Group Companies would definitely be marriage material. One of the top mutual fund firms (with Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Group), the 70-year-old company and its subsidiaries are quiet (they doesn't advertise or grant many interviews), conservative (known for consistent performance), and faithful (most of its investments and its executives are long-term). Among its dislikes are hierarchy, star traders, and fads (no Internet companies or smokers, please). Subsidiaries include Capital Research and Management, which manages The American Funds Group.
