C000263824 Investment Objective and Strategy

TCW Core Fixed Income Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Tcw Funds INC.

Investment objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to maximize current income and achieve above average total return consistent with prudent investment management over a full market cycle.

Principal investment strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in debt securities. If the Fund changes this investment policy, it will notify shareholders in writing at least 60 days in advance of the change. Debt securities include but are not limited to securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government or its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored corporations; corporate obligations (including convertible securities); mortgage-backed securities; asset-backed securities; U.S. dollar denominated foreign debt securities (corporate and government); and other securities bearing fixed or variable interest rates of any maturity. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in high yield/below investment grade bonds, commonly known as junk bonds.

The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in bank loans of companies in the high yield universe. High yield portfolio holdings are diversified by industry and issuer in an attempt to reduce the impact of negative events on an industry or issuer. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments such as options, futures and swap agreements. The Fund may invest in securities that are commonly referred to as mortgage derivatives, including inverse floaters, interest only (IO) strips, principal-only (PO) strips, inverse IOs and tiered index bonds. The Fund may also purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. In managing the Funds investments, under normal market conditions, the portfolio managers use a controlled risk approach. The techniques of this approach attempt to control the principal risk components of the fixed income markets and include consideration of: security selection within a given sector relative performance of the various market sectors the shape of the yield curve fluctuations in the overall level of interest rates The portfolio managers also utilize active asset allocation in managing the Funds investments and monitor the duration of the Funds portfolio securities to seek to mitigate the Funds exposure to interest rate risk.

Portfolio securities and other instruments may be sold for a number of reasons, including when the portfolio managers believe that (i) another security or instrument may offer a better investment opportunity, (ii) there has been a deterioration in the credit fundamentals of an issuer, (iii) an individual security or instrument has reached its sell target, or (iv) the portfolio should be rebalanced for diversification or portfolio weighting purposes.
