 Re:	American Funds Core Plus Bond Fund ("AFCP")

 File Nos. 333-286599; 811-24077

 Dear Ms. Im-Tang:

 In response to your comments received on July
29, 2025, relating to the filing made on July 17, 2025 (the "Registration Statement") of AFCP (the "Fund"), we
hereby file Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")
(such amendment, the "Amendment") pursuant to Rule 472 of the 1933 Act.

 Our responses to your comments are set forth
below.

 1. Section 2.11(b) of the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "DOT") requires that a shareholder may bring
a derivative action on behalf of the trust with respect to a series or class only if (i) the shareholder makes a pre-suit demand upon
the trustees to bring the subject action unless an effort to cause the trustees to bring such an action is not likely to succeed, and
(ii) the trustees are afforded a reasonable amount of time to consider such shareholder request and to investigate the basis of such claim.
Please disclose these provisions in an appropriate location in the prospectus.

 Response : We have added the below language to the "Shareholder
information" section of the Prospectus as follows to address this comment:

 " Derivative actions The fund's declaration
of trust provides a process for the bringing of derivative actions by shareholders. Except for claims under federal securities laws,
no shareholder may maintain a derivative action on behalf of the fund unless holders of at least 20% of the outstanding shares of
the fund join in bringing such action. Prior to bringing a derivative action, a demand by the complaining shareholder must first be
made on the trustees. Following receipt of the demand, the trustees must be afforded a reasonable amount of time to consider and
investigate the demand. The trustees will be entitled to retain counsel or other advisers in considering the merits of the request
and, except for claims under federal securities laws, the trustees may require an undertaking by the shareholders making such
request to reimburse the fund for the expense of any such advisers in the event that the trustees determine not to bring such
action."

 2. Section 2.11(a) of the DOT provides that no shareholder of a series or a class may maintain a derivative action on behalf of the trust
with respect to such series or class unless holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of such series or class
join in the bringing of such action. Section 2.11(b) of the DOT provides that upon a pre-suit demand, the trustees shall be entitled to
retain counsel or other advisers in considering the merits of the request and may require an undertaking by the shareholder(s) making
such request to reimburse the trust for the expense of any such advisers in the event that the trustees determine not to bring such action.
Please revise the organizational trust documents to reflect that these provisions do not apply to claims under federal securities laws.
Please also disclose these provisions in an appropriate location in the prospectus.

 Response : We have updated the language in Sections 2.11(a)
and (b) of the DOT as follows to address this comment:

 Section 2.11(a): " Except
with respect to claims arising under federal securities laws, no Shareholder of a Series or a Class may maintain a derivative
action on behalf of the Trust with respect to such Series or Class unless holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding
Shares of such Series or Class join in the bringing of such action."

 Section 2.11(b): "[…] (ii) unless a demand is not required
under clause (i) of this paragraph, the Trustees must be afforded a reasonable amount of time (in any case, not less than ninety (90)
days) to consider such Shareholder request and to investigate the basis of such claim, and the Trustees shall be entitled to retain counsel
or other advisers in considering the merits of the request and , except with respect to claims arising
under federal securities laws, may require an undertaking by the Shareholders making such request to reimburse the Trust
for the expense of any such advisers in the event that the Trustees determine not to bring such action."

profit-seeking or business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, whether or not such ventures are competitive
with the Trust and the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Fiduciary Covered Person;

to the Trust;

if the Trustees shall determine, with the advice of counsel, that any of such provisions is in conflict with the
1940 Act federal securities laws , the regulated investment company provisions

a part of this Trust Instrument (including, if the context requires, any non-conflicting provisions contained in the same section or subsection
as the conflicting provision)…"
