                            SMALLCAP WORLD FUND, INC.
               333 SOUTH HOPE STREET, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071

                                PROXY STATEMENT
                      MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS --APRIL 5, 1995
                                   _________
 The enclosed Proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of the Fund in
connection with the Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 5, 1995. Every
Proxy returned in time to be voted at the meeting will be voted, and if a
specification is made with respect to any proposal, the Proxy will be voted
accordingly. If no specification is made, the Proxy will be voted for each of
the nominees for director and in favor of the other proposals. Anyone having
submitted a Proxy may revoke it prior to its exercise, either by filing with
the Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed Proxy
bearing a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. This
Proxy was first mailed to shareholders on or about February 15, 1995. 
 
 At the close of business on January 6, 1995, the record date fixed by the
Board of Directors for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at the meeting, there were outstanding 163,329,622 shares of
capital stock, $1 par value, the only authorized class of securities of the
Fund. Each share is entitled to one vote. There is no provision for cumulative
voting. No person owned of record or was known by the Fund to own beneficially
5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund. 
 
 With respect to the election of Directors (Item 1), the eleven nominees
receiving the highest number of votes shall be deemed to be elected. The vote
required to approve Item 2 is the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or
more of all shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting, provided the
holders of more than 50% of all shares outstanding and entitled to vote are
present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of all outstanding
shares. 
 
 In the event that sufficient votes are not received by the meeting date, a
person named as proxy may propose one or more adjournments of the meeting for a
period or periods not more than 120 days in the aggregate to permit further
solicitation of Proxies. The persons named as proxies will vote all Proxies in
favor of such adjournment. Signed but unmarked Proxies will be voted for the
below nominated Trustees and in favor of all proposals. Shareholders who return
Proxies marked as abstaining from voting on the proposals are treated as being
present at the meeting for purposes of obtaining the quorum necessary to hold
the meeting, but are not counted as part of the vote necessary to approve the
proposals. Where brokers holding Fund shares for their customers in Street Name
have not received instructions and are not authorized to vote without
instruction, those shares also will be treated as abstentions. 
 
1.  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
 Eleven Directors are to be elected at the meeting, each to hold office until a
successor is elected and qualified. Because it is not anticipated that meetings
of shareholders will be held each year, the Directors' terms will be indefinite
in length. All of the nominees for Director except Richard G. Capen, Jr.,
William R. Grimsley, E. Graham Holloway and Leonade D. Jones were elected by
shareholders at their last meeting on April 17, 1991. Mr. Capen was elected by
the Directors on October 14, 1993; and Messrs. Grimsley and Holloway were
elected by the Directors on October 18, 1991. Ms. Jones has been nominated by
the Board of Directors and has agreed to serve as Director if elected. 
 
 Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as Director if elected. If, due to
presently unforeseen circumstances, any nominee should not be available for
election, the persons named as proxies will vote the signed but unmarked
Proxies and those marked for the nominated Director for such other nominee as
the present Directors may recommend. The table below and on the following page
sets forth certain information regarding the nominees.
