A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, no portfolio turnover figures are available. </font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">“Other Expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year and calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s assets.</font><div style="display:none">~ http://www.tcw.com/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpensesTCWInternationalGrowthFund column period compact * ~</div>

The example also assumes that your investment has 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

The Fund invests primarily in issuers which are characterized as “growth” companies according to criteria established by the portfolio manager. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks; securities convertible into common or preferred stocks such as convertible bonds and debentures; rights or warrants to purchase common or preferred stocks; American Depository Receipts (ADRs); Global Depository Receipts (GDRs); and other securities with equity characteristics.<br/><br/>In selecting securities, the Fund’s portfolio manager evaluates investment opportunities on a company-by-company basis. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company’s operations and product development as well as its position in its industry. In selecting the Fund’s investments, the portfolio manager considers factors which may include one or more of the following: </font><ul type="square"><li><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">companies with businesses that are entering into a growth cycle </font></li></ul><ul type="square"><li><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">companies with accelerating earnings growth or cash flow whose stock is selling at a reasonable valuation</font></li></ul><ul type="square"><li><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">companies that enjoy a strong competitive position in their industry</font></li></ul><ul type="square"><li><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">companies with a strong management team</font></li></ul><ul type="square"><li><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">companies that demonstrate an ability to take advantage of business opportunities</font></li></ul><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The portfolio manager also considers the effect of worldwide trends on the growth of particular business sectors and looks for companies that may benefit from those trends. The trends considered include but are not limited to: rising domestic demand, new technologies and, a country’s and a global or local industry cycle. Trends that are considered may change over time.<br/><br/>The Fund may invest in companies that are not currently generating cashflow, but are expected to do so in the future in the portfolio manager’s opinion.<br/><br/>The Fund may invest in derivatives such as swaps, options, futures, foreign currency futures and forward contracts. These practices may be used to hedge the Fund’s portfolio as well as for investment purposes; however, such practices may reduce returns or increase volatility.<br/><br/>Portfolio securities may be sold when the Fund’s portfolio manager perceives deterioration in the fundamentals of the issuer, the portfolio manager believes there are negative macro geo-political considerations that may affect the issuer, the portfolio manager determines to take advantage of a better investment opportunity or the security has reached its price target.</font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><b>Principal Risks </b></font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><b>Investment Results </b></font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, it has no investment results. </font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Your investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, entity or person.</font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, it has no investment results. </font><div style="display:none">~ http://www.tcw.com/role/ScheduleExpenseExampleTransposedTCWInternationalGrowthFund column period compact * ~</div>

"Other Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year and calculated as a percentage of the Fund's assets.
The Fund's investment advisor has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses (excluding interest and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any) to 1.04% with respect to Class I shares and 1.34% with respect to Class N shares of average daily net assets. This contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement is for the period November 1, 2012 through February 28, 2014 and prior to such date, the investment advisor may not terminate this arrangement without approval of the Board of Directors. At the conclusion of this period, the Fund's investment advisor, in its sole discretion, may extend, terminate or otherwise modify the contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement.EX-101.SCH

TCW International Growth Fund
TCW INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND
Investment Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long term capital appreciation. The Corporation’s Board of Directors may change this investment objective without shareholder approval.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.
Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Shareholder Fees
TCW International Growth Fund
(USD $)
"Other Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year and calculated as a percentage of the Fund's assets.
[2]
The Fund's investment advisor has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses (excluding interest and acquired fund fees and expenses, if any) to 1.04% with respect to Class I shares and 1.34% with respect to Class N shares of average daily net assets. This contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement is for the period November 1, 2012 through February 28, 2014 and prior to such date, the investment advisor may not terminate this arrangement without approval of the Board of Directors. At the conclusion of this period, the Fund's investment advisor, in its sole discretion, may extend, terminate or otherwise modify the contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
This example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, no portfolio turnover figures are available.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund will invest primarily (except when maintaining a temporary defensive position) in equity securities of companies across all market capitalizations that are domiciled outside the United States or whose primary business operations are outside the United States. The Fund invests primarily in issuers which are characterized as “growth” companies according to criteria established by the portfolio manager. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks; securities convertible into common or preferred stocks such as convertible bonds and debentures; rights or warrants to purchase common or preferred stocks; American Depository Receipts (ADRs); Global Depository Receipts (GDRs); and other securities with equity characteristics.
In selecting securities, the Fund’s portfolio manager evaluates investment opportunities on a company-by-company basis. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company’s operations and product development as well as its position in its industry. In selecting the Fund’s investments, the portfolio manager considers factors which may include one or more of the following:
companies with businesses that are entering into a growth cycle
companies with accelerating earnings growth or cash flow whose stock is selling at a reasonable valuation
companies that enjoy a strong competitive position in their industry
companies with a strong management team
companies that demonstrate an ability to take advantage of business opportunities
The portfolio manager also considers the effect of worldwide trends on the growth of particular business sectors and looks for companies that may benefit from those trends. The trends considered include but are not limited to: rising domestic demand, new technologies and, a country’s and a global or local industry cycle. Trends that are considered may change over time.
The Fund may invest in companies that are not currently generating cashflow, but are expected to do so in the future in the portfolio manager’s opinion.
The Fund may invest in derivatives such as swaps, options, futures, foreign currency futures and forward contracts. These practices may be used to hedge the Fund’s portfolio as well as for investment purposes; however, such practices may reduce returns or increase volatility.
Portfolio securities may be sold when the Fund’s portfolio manager perceives deterioration in the fundamentals of the issuer, the portfolio manager believes there are negative macro geo-political considerations that may affect the issuer, the portfolio manager determines to take advantage of a better investment opportunity or the security has reached its price target.
Principal Risks
Since the Fund holds securities with fluctuating market prices, the value of the Fund’s shares will vary as its portfolio securities increase or decrease in value. Therefore, the value of your investment in the Fund could go down as well as up. You can lose money by investing in the Fund.
The principal risks affecting the Fund that can cause a decline in value are:
foreign investing risk: the risk that Fund share prices will fluctuate with market conditions, currencies, and the economic and political climates where investments are made.
foreign currency risk: the risk that the value of the Fund’s investment denominated in foreign currencies will decline in value because the foreign currency has declined in value relative to the U.S. dollar.
emerging market country risk: the risk that Fund share prices will decline due to the greater degree of economic, political and social instability of emerging market countries as compared to developed countries.
equity risk: the risk that stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline in value over short or extended periods based on changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market, economic and political conditions.
investment style risk: the risk that the particular style or set of styles that the investment adviser primarily uses may be out of favor or may not produce the best results over short or longer time periods and may increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price.
derivatives risk: the risk of investing in a derivative instrument, including liquidity, interest rate, market and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index and the Fund could lose more than principal amount invested.
leveraging risk: the risk that leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended result.
globalization risk: the risk that the growing inter-relationship of global economies and financial markets has increased the effect of conditions in one country or region on issuers of securities in a different country or region.
price volatility risk: the risk that the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio will change as the prices of its investments go up or down.
issuer risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer such as mangement performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.
liquidity risk: the risk that there may be no willing buyer of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund may have to sell at a lower price or may not be able to sell the securities at all, each of which would have a negative effect on performance.
market risk: the risk that returns from the securities in which the Fund invests will underperform returns from other types of securities.
securities selection risk: the risk that the securities held by the Fund will underperform those held by other funds in the same asset class or benchmarks that are representative of the asset class because of the portfolio manager’s choice of securities.
portfolio management risk: the risk that an investment strategy may fail to produce the intended results.
small and mid-capitalization company risk: the risk that the stock performance of small and mid-capitalization companies can be more volatile than the stock performance of large capitalization companies and they face a greater risk of business failure which increases the risk of loss to the Fund.
non-diversification risk: the risk that because a relatively higher percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of a limited number of issuers, the Fund may be more susceptible to any single economic, political or regulatory event than a diversified fund.
Your investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, entity or person.
Investment Results
Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, it has no investment results.
Distribution [and/or Service] (12b-1) Fees" include all distribution or other expenses incurred during the most recent fiscal year under a plan adopted pursuant to rule 12b-1 [17 CFR 270.12b-1]. Under an appropriate caption or a subcaption of "Other Expenses," disclose the amount of any distribution or similar expenses deducted from the Fund's assets other than pursuant to a rule 12b-1 plan.
Risk/Return Summary Fee Table Includes the following information, in plain English under rule 421(d) under the Securities Act, after Item 2 Fees and expenses of the Fund This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shared of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $[_____] in [name of fund family] funds. Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return per year and that the Fund's operating expenses remained the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares The Example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends [and other distributions]. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds. For purposes of this Item, a "New Fund" is a Fund that does not include in Form N-1A financial statements reporting operating results or that includes financial statements for the Fund's initial fiscal year reporting operating results for a period of 6 months or less. The following Instructions apply to New Funds.
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shared of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $[_____] in [name of fund family] funds. Include the narrative explanations in the order indicated. A Fund may modify the narrative explanations if the explanation contains comparable information to that shown. The narrative explanation regarding sales charge discounts is only required by a Fund that offers such discounts and should specify the minimum level of investment required to qualify for a discount. Modify the narrative explanation to state that Fund shares are sold on a national securities exchange at the end of the time periods indicated, and that brokerage commissions for buying and selling Fund shares through a broker are not reflected.
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses. If the Fund is a Feeder Fund, reflect the aggregate expenses of the Feeder Fund and the Master Fund in a single fee table using the captions provided. In a footnote to the fee table, state that the table and Example reflect the expenses of both the Feeder and Master Funds. If the prospectus offers more than one Class of a Multiple Class Fund or more than one Feeder Fund that invests in the same Master Fund, provide a separate response for each Class or Feeder Fund. Base the percentages of "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" on amounts incurred during the Fund's most recent fiscal year, but include in expenses amounts that would have been incurred absent expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangements. If the Fund has changed its fiscal year and, as a result, the most recent fiscal year is less than three months, use the fiscal year prior to the most recent fiscal year as the basis for determining "Annual Fund Operating Expenses."
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses. If there were expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangements that reduced any Fund operating expenses and will continue to reduce them for no less than one year from the effective date of the Fund's registration statement, a Fund may add two captions to the table one caption showing the amount of the expense reimbursement or fee waiver, and a second caption showing the Fund's net expenses after subtracting the fee reimbursement or expense waiver from the total fund operating expenses. The Fund should place these additional captions directly below the "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" caption of the table and should use appropriate descriptive captions, such as "Fee Waiver [and/or Expense Reimbursement]" and "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver [and/or Expense Reimbursement]," respectively. If the Fund provides this disclosure, also disclose the period for which the expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangement is expected to continue, and briefly describe who can terminate the arrangement and under what circumstances.
Management Fees include investment advisory fees (including any fees based on the Fund's performance), any other management fees payable to the investment adviser or its affiliates, and administrative fees payable to the investment adviser or its affiliates that are not included as "Other Expenses."
Investment Objectives/Goals. Disclose the Fund's investment objectives or goals. A Fund also may identify its type or category (e.g., that it is a Money Market Fund or a balanced fund).

The amount of expenses deducted from the Fund's assets are the amounts shown as expenses in the Fund's statement of operations (including increases resulting from complying with paragraph 2(g) of rule 6-07 of Regulation S-X [17 CFR 210.6-07]). "Other Expenses" do not include extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles (see Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30). If extraordinary expenses were incurred that materially affected the Fund's "Other Expenses," disclose in a footnote to the table what "Other Expenses" would have been had the extraordinary expenses been included.
Disclose the portfolio turnover rate provided in response to Item 14(a) for the most recent fiscal year (or for such shorter period as the Fund has been in operation).

Since the Fund holds securities with fluctuating market prices, the value of the Fund’s shares will vary as its portfolio securities increase or decrease in value. Therefore, the value of your investment in the Fund could go down as well as up. You can lose money by investing in the Fund.
The principal risks affecting the Fund that can cause a decline in value are:
foreign investing risk: the risk that Fund share prices will fluctuate with market conditions, currencies, and the economic and political climates where investments are made.
foreign currency risk: the risk that the value of the Fund’s investment denominated in foreign currencies will decline in value because the foreign currency has declined in value relative to the U.S. dollar.
emerging market country risk: the risk that Fund share prices will decline due to the greater degree of economic, political and social instability of emerging market countries as compared to developed countries.
equity risk: the risk that stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline in value over short or extended periods based on changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market, economic and political conditions.
investment style risk: the risk that the particular style or set of styles that the investment adviser primarily uses may be out of favor or may not produce the best results over short or longer time periods and may increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price.
derivatives risk: the risk of investing in a derivative instrument, including liquidity, interest rate, market and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, reference rate or index and the Fund could lose more than principal amount invested.
leveraging risk: the risk that leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended result.
globalization risk: the risk that the growing inter-relationship of global economies and financial markets has increased the effect of conditions in one country or region on issuers of securities in a different country or region.
price volatility risk: the risk that the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio will change as the prices of its investments go up or down.
issuer risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer such as mangement performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.
liquidity risk: the risk that there may be no willing buyer of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund may have to sell at a lower price or may not be able to sell the securities at all, each of which would have a negative effect on performance.
market risk: the risk that returns from the securities in which the Fund invests will underperform returns from other types of securities.
securities selection risk: the risk that the securities held by the Fund will underperform those held by other funds in the same asset class or benchmarks that are representative of the asset class because of the portfolio manager’s choice of securities.
portfolio management risk: the risk that an investment strategy may fail to produce the intended results.
small and mid-capitalization company risk: the risk that the stock performance of small and mid-capitalization companies can be more volatile than the stock performance of large capitalization companies and they face a greater risk of business failure which increases the risk of loss to the Fund.
non-diversification risk: the risk that because a relatively higher percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of a limited number of issuers, the Fund may be more susceptible to any single economic, political or regulatory event than a diversified fund.
Your investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, entity or person.

The amount of expenses deducted from the Fund's assets are the amounts shown as expenses in the Fund's statement of operations (including increases resulting from complying with paragraph 2(g) of rule 6-07 of Regulation S-X [17 CFR 210.6-07]). "Other Expenses" do not include extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles (see Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30). If extraordinary expenses were incurred that materially affected the Fund's "Other Expenses," disclose in a footnote to the table what "Other Expenses" would have been had the extraordinary expenses been included.
For a Fund that provides annual total returns for only one calendar year or for a Fund that does not include the bar chart because it does not have annual returns for a full calendar year, modify, as appropriate, the narrative explanation required by stating that the information gives some indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by comparing the Fund's performance with a broad measure of market performance). Provide a brief explanation of how the information illustrates the variability of the Fund's returns (e.g., by stating that the information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance). Provide a statement to the effect that the Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
