David S. DeVito

President, Chief Executive Officer & Director

 

Dear Valued Investors:

I am pleased to present the semi-annual report for the TCW Funds, Inc. covering the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. I would like to thank you for your continued investment in the TCW Funds as well as welcome new shareholders to our fund family. As of April 30, 2015, the TCW Funds held total net assets of approximately $19.3 billion.

 

This report contains information outlining the performance of the TCW Funds and a listing of the portfolio holdings as of April 30, 2015.

 

About the TCW Funds

 

The TCW Funds offer shareholders a choice of 22 funds, each targeted to specific asset classes, market segments or multiple sectors of the global equity and fixed income markets. For U.S. equities, we offer funds across the market capitalization and growth/value spectrums. In fixed income, our funds provide investors opportunities across global fixed income markets including U.S. government, corporate and high yield bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, as well as sovereign and corporate bonds denominated in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies. Each TCW Fund is managed by long-tenured investment teams with experience through many market cycles. Rigorous fundamental research, disciplined risk analysis and deep market expertise are the foundation for each of our funds.

 

The Economy

 

When the Federal Reserve announced in December 2013 that the time had come to begin drawing down its purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgages, the market reacted with a backup in yields that saw the 10-Year Note climb above 3% for the first time since 2011. That wasn’t so surprising; after all, the Fed was removing itself — and $85 billion of monthly purchasing power — from those markets, a considerable technical drag. What wasn’t expected, however, was that would be the last time the 10-Year saw a yield as high as 3%! Despite a reasonably good pace of economic growth through 2014 and strong gains in employment in the past 15 months, U.S. rates have fallen, primarily due to a global environment of central bank accommodation that has rates across most of the developed

markets lower than within the U.S. So, it’s ironic that despite the lack of sustained upward rate pressure out the yield curve, much of the current rates discussion focuses on when rate hikes will begin and the anticipated pace of follow-up. And it would seem that the Fed’s objectives are at least twofold: one, to take the Fed Funds rate off the zero bound while remaining accommodating and, two, to avoid a violent reaction to the regime change presaged in the May 2013 “Taper Tantrum.”

 

The U.S. Stock Market and our U.S. Equity Funds

 

U.S. stocks posted solid gains during the six month period ended April 30, 2015, with the S&P 500 Index advancing 4.4% on a total return basis despite a number of headwinds during the period. The 58% decline in the price of WTI crude oil from mid-June 2014 to late January of this year, coupled with a nearly 20% gain in the DXY U.S. Dollar Index, undercut stock market investors’ confidence in the resilience of corporate earnings estimates. At the same time, a steady stream of weak macroeconomic data emanating from Europe, Japan, China and many emerging market countries stoked concerns that the U.S. economy could be dragged down by the slowdown in global growth. However, these worries were assuaged by both the Fed’s statement that it would continue to remain patient in terms of the timetable for hiking interest rates, as well as the ECB’s announcement that it would embark upon a quantitative easing program entailing asset purchases totaling at least 1.1 trillion Euros through September 2016. Importantly, corporate earnings results for the first quarter of 2015 proved better than expected and provided support to U.S. stock prices.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, our value-oriented equity strategies outperformed their respective benchmarks, in many cases boosted by their exposure to names in the top-performing consumer discretionary, healthcare, and technology sectors. Several of our more aggressive growth-oriented equity funds trailed their respective benchmarks during the same period, as global growth concerns raised doubts about the strength of the US economic recovery and hurt investor sentiment towards higher beta aggressive growth names.

Letter to Shareholders (Continued)

   

 

The U.S. Fixed Income Market and our U.S. Fixed Income Funds

 

Through early 2015, U.S. Treasury yields fell, led by a vigorous rally in January, after which rates retraced higher on a strong February job report, before finishing on a downtrend due to a dovish interpretation of the March FOMC meeting, where the governors uniformly lowered estimates of future Fed Funds levels. The lower yields fueled price appreciation across the market, with modestly narrowing investment grade corporate spreads delivering a solid gain. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) struggled to keep up with the strong U.S. Treasury performance in January and spent the remainder of the quarter playing catch-up, ultimately resulting in a nearly 50 basis point lag on a duration-adjusted basis. Both agency and non-agency commercial MBS (CMBS) generated good relative performance, while asset-backed securities (ABS), overwhelmingly floating rate in nature and thus limited in interest rate duration, produced positive relative returns as well. High yield corporates enjoyed a very good start to the year, especially in February, with a rebound in energy issues, overcoming considerable volatility and a disappointing end to 2014.

 

International/Global Markets and our Emerging Markets Funds

 

The Emerging Markets (EM) have been volatile — a default in Argentina, a border crisis in Russia, the threat of a downgrade in Brazil and a significant repricing of the commodity complex. Throughout this period of volatility, however, EM sovereigns as a whole have been able to retain strong balance sheets, with external debt to GDP in the 40% range – at or near the levels before the Global Financial Crisis — and significantly below that of many developed economies. Against this backdrop, Emerging Markets hard currency debt has outperformed or performed in line with various developed market fixed income indices this year. EM local currency debt, however, has underperformed due to dollar strength, although we believe this segment of the market could be an attractive investment opportunity as we get closer to the first Fed rate hike (dollar strength has typically peaked at or before the first Fed move in previous cycles).

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, the TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund I Share returned a negative 3.59% versus the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index return of +1.37%. Underperformance during this period was primarily driven by an active restructuring in the portfolio in December and January to

reduce corporate exposure and add sovereign exposure. Since we made this shift, we have been tracking more in line with the index. During the same period, the TCW Emerging Markets Local Currency Fund I Share returned a negative 6.46%, outperforming the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index which returned a negative 8.24%. This outperformance was driven by our focus on reform-oriented countries and active currency hedging.

 

An Update on the TCW Fund Family

 

We wanted to update our shareholders on the TCW Funds family over the past six months. During the first quarter, Ray Prasad, CFA, Managing Director, was named Lead Portfolio Manager, and Andrey Glukhov, CFA, Senior Vice President, was named Co-Portfolio Manager for the TCW International Small Cap Fund (TGICX and TGNIX) and the TCW International Growth Fund (TGIBX and TGIDX). Rohit Sah, who served as Portfolio Manager of the funds, left TCW to pursue other opportunities.

 

Looking Ahead

 

As a basis for strategy from a forward-looking perspective, through much of 2014, U.S. economic data had been largely consistent with an effort by the Fed to begin removing monetary accommodation, either by raising rates or shrinking its balance sheet. However, with global growth languishing and a strong U.S. dollar, any move by the Fed to begin tightening policy runs a risk of importing a slower economic pace and spurring market volatility. As a result, the pundits will talk about the Fed looking to “thread the needle” of removing incentives to misallocate capital, while not inadvertently bringing havoc to the markets. Exacerbating the risk of volatility is a liquidity environment that could amplify such effects to the downside, as the reduced size of bank trading books may prove insufficient to meet investor needs. That, in fact, could be an opportunity to capture returns across all the markets in which the Funds operate through disciplined strategy implementation and rigorous security selection, as well as being a provider of liquidity to those most willing to pay for it.

 

With respect to U.S. equities, looking forward, we believe that should the Fed initiate an interest rate hike this Fall, such a rate hike would not necessarily portend a negative backdrop for U.S. stocks if accompanied by sufficient underlying strength in the real economy. Yet, we note that because 2015 U.S. earnings growth expectations have declined from the high to the

mid-single digits on the back of a dismal energy sector earnings outlook, consensus stock valuations have drifted up to approximately 17 times forward earnings, which is slightly above their three-decade average of around 16 times. We would add, however, that current valuation levels are in many cases warranted by strong company fundamentals, including deleveraged balance sheets, high cash balances, and near-record profit margins in the midst of a low, stable inflation environment. We remain mindful, of course, of the prospect for heightened volatility until greater clarity emerges with respect to the nature and timing of the Fed’s monetary policy shift to “normalize” interest rates, as well as the resiliency of corporate earnings.

 

We know that you have many choices when it comes to the management of your financial assets. On behalf of everyone at TCW, I would like to thank you for making the TCW Funds part of your long-term investment plan. We truly value our relationship with you. If you have any questions or require further information, I invite you to visit our website at www.tcw.com, or call our shareholder services department at 800-386-3829.

 

 

I look forward to reporting to you again at the end of our fiscal year.

 

 

Sincerely,

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and which are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

 

Principles of Accounting:    The Funds use the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. Each Fund is considered an investment company under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.

 

Net Asset Value:    The Net Asset Value of each Class of a Fund is determined by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to each class by the number of shares issued and outstanding of that Class at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time or 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time, but the NYSE sometimes closes earlier) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading.

 

Security Valuations:    Securities listed or traded on the New York and other stock exchanges are valued at the latest sale price on that exchange. Securities traded on the NASDAQ stock market are valued using

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

official closing prices as reported by NASDAQ. All other securities for which over-the-counter (“OTC”) market quotations are readily available, including short-term securities, are valued with prices furnished by independent pricing services or by broker dealers. Options are valued at the last reported sales price or the mean of the current bid and asked prices if there are no sales in the trading period. Repurchase agreements are priced at cost which approximates market value. Open-end mutual funds held in the TCW Conservative Allocation Fund are valued based on the net asset value per share of the mutual fund.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which it is determined by the Advisor that prices received are not reflective of a security’s market value, are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that a fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Funds disclose investments in a three-tier hierarchy. This hierarchy is utilized to establish classification of fair value inputs for disclosure purposes. Inputs that go into fair value measurement refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

 

Level 1 —    quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 —    other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 —    significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

Fair Value Measurements:    A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows:

 

Equity securities.    Securities are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Restricted securities issued by publicly held companies are categorized in Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether a discount is applied and significant. Restricted securities held in non-public entities are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore, the inputs are unobservable. Certain foreign securities that are fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Exchange-traded funds.    Exchange-traded funds are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. They are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Master Limited Partnerships.    Master Limited Partnerships are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. They are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Mutual Funds.    Open-end Mutual funds are valued using the net asset value as reported by the fund companies. As such, they are categorized in Level 1.

 

Options contracts.    Exchange listed option contracts traded on securities exchanges are fair valued using quoted prices from the applicable exchange; as such, they are categorized in Level 1. Option contracts traded over-the-counter (OTC) are fair valued based on pricing models and incorporate various inputs such as interest rate, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-money contracts on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair value of OTC option contracts would be categorized in Level 2; otherwise, the fair values would be categorized in Level 3.

 

Restricted securities.    Restricted securities held in non-public entities, including illiquid Rule 144A securities, are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore, the inputs are unobservable. Any other restricted securities valued similar to publicly traded securities may be categorized in Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on observability of the inputs.

 

Short-term investments.    Short-term investments are valued using market price quotations, and are reflected in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized in Level 2.

 

The Funds, within the exception of the TCW Global Real Estate Fund, categorized their investments at Level 1, with the corresponding industries as represented in the Schedule of Investments, and all short-term investments at Level 2 as of April 30, 2015.

The Funds did not have any transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the period ended April 30, 2015.

 

The Funds held no investments or other financial instruments at April 30, 2015 whose fair value was calculated using Level 3 inputs.

 

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income:    Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded on the basis of specific identification. Distributions received from real estate investment trust securities may include return of capital. Such distributions reduce the cost basis of those investments. Distributions received, if any, in excess of the cost basis of a security is recognized as capital gain.

 

Foreign Currency Translation:    The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the market value of foreign securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies, are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

 

Foreign Taxes:    The Funds may be subject to withholding taxes on income and capital gains imposed by certain countries in which they invest. The withholding tax on income is netted against the income accrued or received. Any reclaimable taxes are recorded as income. The withholding tax on realized or unrealized gain is recorded as a liability.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

Derivative Instruments:    Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on the values of one or more indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. It is possible that a derivative transaction will result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested. The Funds may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, the TCW Global Real Estate Fund and the TCW High Dividend Equities Fund had the following derivatives and transactions in derivatives, grouped in the following risk categories (amounts in thousands except Notional Amounts or Shares/Units):

Options:    The Funds may purchase and sell put and call options on an index of securities to enhance investment performance and to protect against changes in market prices. The Funds may also enter into currency options to hedge against currency fluctuations.

 

A call option gives the holder the right to purchase, and obligates the writer to sell, a security at the strike price at any time before the expiration date. A Fund may purchase put options to protect portfolio holdings against a decline in market value of a security or securities held by it. A Fund may also purchase a put option hoping to profit from an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying security. If a Fund holds the security underlying the option, the option premium and any transaction costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it sold the underlying security instead of buying the put option. A Fund may

purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price of securities that the Fund ultimately wants to buy. A Fund may also purchase a call option as a long directional investment hoping to profit from an anticipated increase in the value of the underlying security. In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit a Fund might have realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call option.

 

When a Fund purchases an option, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the option in a relatively short period of time, unless the Fund exercises the option or enters into a closing sale transaction before the option’s expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise (in the case of a call) or fall (in the case of a put) to an extent sufficient to cover the option premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment in the option. This contrasts with an investment by a Fund in the underlying security, since the Fund will not realize a loss if the security’s price does not change. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses.

 

Options purchased or sold by a Fund may be traded on a securities or options exchange. Such options typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. However, an exchange or market may at times find it necessary to impose restrictions on particular types of options transactions, such as opening transactions. If an underlying security ceases to meet qualifications imposed by an exchange or the Options Clearing Corporation, new series of options on that security will no longer be opened to replace expiring series, and opening transactions in existing series may be prohibited.

 

OTC options are options not traded on exchanges or backed by clearinghouses. Rather, they are entered into directly between a Fund and the counterparty to the option. In the case of an OTC option purchased by a Fund, the value of the option to the Fund will depend on the willingness and ability of the option writer to perform its obligations to the Fund. In addition, OTC options may not be transferable and there may be little or no secondary market for them, so they may be considered illiquid. It may not be possible to enter into closing transactions with respect to OTC options or otherwise to terminate such options, and as a result a Fund may be required to remain obligated on an unfavorable OTC option until its expiration. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the TCW Global Real Estate Fund and the TCW High Dividend Equities Fund had written options. Open written options are listed on the Schedule of Investments

When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery and Forward Commitment Transactions:    The Funds, with the exception of the TCW Conservative Allocation Fund, may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment transactions in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security. In when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. Although the Fund does not pay for the securities until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. If the Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased on a when issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.

 

Prior to settlement of these transactions, the value of the subject securities will fluctuate with market conditions. In addition, because the Fund is not required to pay for when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitment securities until the delivery date, they may result in a form of leverage to the extent the Fund does not maintain liquid assets equal to the face amount of the contract. To guard against the deemed leverage, the Fund segregates cash or securities in the amount or value at least equal to the amount of these transactions.

 

Repurchase Agreements:    The Funds may enter into Repurchase Agreements, under the terms of Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”). The MRA permits each Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from each Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Funds receive securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period are listed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The following table presents the net amounts available for offset under the MRA and net of the related collateral received by the Funds as of April 30, 2015 (in thousands):

Security Lending:    The Funds may lend their securities to qualified brokers. The loans must be collateralized at all times primarily with cash although the Funds can accept money market instruments or U.S. government securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with any extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral if the borrowers of the securities fail financially. The Funds earn additional income for lending their securities by investing the cash collateral in short-term investments. The Funds did not lend any securities during the period ended April 30, 2015.

 

Allocation of Operating Activity for Multiple Classes    Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the classes of shares of the Funds based on the relative net assets of each class. Distribution fees, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to the operations of the class. All other expenses are charged to each Fund or class as incurred on a specific identification basis. Differences in class specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income, and therefore, the payment of different per share dividends by each class.

 

Dividends and Distributions:    Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The TCW Global Real Estate Fund, the TCW High Dividend Equities Fund and the TCW Relative Value Dividend Appreciation Fund declare and pay, or reinvest, dividends from net investment income quarterly. The other Equity Funds and TCW Conservative Allocation Fund declare and pay, or reinvest, dividends from net investment income annually. Capital gains realized by a Fund will be distributed at least annually.

 

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, market discount and premium, losses deferred due to wash sales, excise tax regulations and employing equalization in determining

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

amounts to be distributed to fund shareholders. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications between paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income (loss), and/or undistributed accumulated realized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income or loss may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or capital gain remaining at fiscal year-end is distributed in the following year. Distributions received from real estate investment trust securities may include return of capital. Such distributions reduce the cost basis of the respective securities. Distributions, if any, in excess of the cost basis of the security are recognized as capital gain.

 

Use of Estimates:    The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Note 3 — Risk Considerations

 

Market Risk:    The Funds’ investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Funds. You could lose money on your investment in the Funds or the Funds could underperform other investments.

 

Liquidity Risk:    The Funds’ investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Funds because they may not be able to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Investments in high yield securities, foreign securities, derivatives or other securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. Certain investments in private placements and Rule 144A securities may be considered illiquid investments. The Funds may invest in private placements and Rule 144A securities.

 

Interest Rate Risk:    The values of the Funds’ investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The longer the average duration of the Funds’ investment portfolio, the greater the change in value.

 

Credit Risk:    The values of any of the Funds’ investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower-rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment-grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions.

 

Counterparty Risk:    The Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties.

 

Investment Style Risk:    Certain Funds may also be subject to investment style risk. The Advisor’s investment styles may be out of favor at times or may not produce the best results over short or longer time periods and may increase the volatility of a Fund’s share price.

 

Equity Risk:    Equity securities may include common stock, preferred stock or other securities representing an ownership interest of the right to acquire an ownership interest in an issuer. Equity risk is the risk that stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and can decline in value over short or extended periods. The value of stocks and other equity securities will be affected by changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market, economic and political conditions.

Note 4 — Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

(1) Utilization of the loss is subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred after that date will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in the pre-enactment taxable years. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. There were no capital losses carryforward by the Funds that were incurred after December 22, 2010.

 

The Funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at April 30, 2015, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the period ended April 30, 2015. The Funds are subject to examination by the U.S. Federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three and four fiscal years, respectively.

The TCW Conservative Allocation Fund does not pay management fees to the Advisor; however, the Fund pays management fees to the Advisor indirectly, as a shareholder in the affiliated funds.

 

In addition to the management fees, the Funds reimburse, with approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Advisor’s costs associated in support of the Funds’ Rule 38a-1 compliance obligations. These amounts are allocated to each Fund based on management fees paid and are included in the Statements of Operations.

 

The Advisor limits the operating expenses of the Funds not to exceed the following expense ratios relative to the Funds’ average daily net assets:

(1) These limitations are based on an agreement between the Advisor and the Company.
(2) Limitations based on average expense ratio as reported by Lipper, Inc., which is subject to change on a monthly basis. This ratio was in effect as of April 30, 2015. The advisor may, at its sole discretion, extend or modify the expense limitation at the conclusion of the one-year period.

 

The amount borne by the Advisor during a fiscal year when the operating expenses of a Fund are in excess of the expense limitation cannot be recaptured in the subsequent fiscal years should the expenses drop below the expense limitation in the subsequent years. The Advisor can only recapture expenses within a given fiscal year for that year’s operating expenses.

Note 5 — Fund Management Fees and Other Expenses (Continued)

 

 

Directors’ Fees:    Directors who are not affiliated with the Advisor receive compensation from the Funds which are shown on the Statement of Operations. Directors may elect to defer receipt of their fees in accordance with the terms of a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts deferred is recorded on the Funds’ books as other liabilities. Deferred compensation is included within Directors’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Note 6 — Distribution Plan

 

TCW Funds Distributors (“Distributor”), an affiliate of the Advisor and the Funds, serves as the nonexclusive distributor of each class of the Funds’ shares. The Funds have a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the N Class shares of each Fund. Under the terms of the plan, each Fund compensates the Distributor at a rate equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to its N Class shares for distribution and related services.

Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. There were no restricted securities at April 30, 2015.

 

Note 11 — Indemnifications

 

Under the Company’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement with each of the Directors which provides that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Director against any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any Director in any proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Director’s services to the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Securities Act of 1933, and the 1940 Act, each as now or hereinafter in force. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote. The Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnification.

 

Note 12 — Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures” (“ASU 2014-11”) to improve the financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. ASU 2014-11 includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements.

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a TCW Fund, you incur ongoing operational costs of the Fund, including management fees and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015 (181 days).

 

Actual Expenses    The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes    The second line under each Fund in the table below provides information about the hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account value and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

David S. DeVito

President, Chief Executive Officer & Director

 

Dear Valued Investors:

I am pleased to present the semi-annual report for the TCW Funds, Inc. covering the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. I would like to thank you for your continued investment in the TCW Funds as well as welcome new shareholders to our fund family. As of April 30, 2015, the TCW Funds held total net assets of approximately $19.3 billion.

 

This report contains information outlining the performance of the TCW Funds and a listing of the portfolio holdings as of April 30, 2015.

 

About the TCW Funds

 

The TCW Funds offer shareholders a choice of 22 funds, each targeted to specific asset classes, market segments or multiple sectors of the global equity and fixed income markets. For U.S. equities, we offer funds across the market capitalization and growth/value spectrums. In fixed income, our funds provide investors opportunities across global fixed income markets including U.S. government, corporate and high yield bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, as well as sovereign and corporate bonds denominated in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies. Each TCW Fund is managed by long-tenured investment teams with experience through many market cycles. Rigorous fundamental research, disciplined risk analysis and deep market expertise are the foundation for each of our funds.

 

The Economy

 

When the Federal Reserve announced in December 2013 that the time had come to begin drawing down its purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgages, the market reacted with a backup in yields that saw the 10-Year Note climb above 3% for the first time since 2011. That wasn’t so surprising; after all, the Fed was removing itself — and $85 billion of monthly purchasing power — from those markets, a considerable technical drag. What wasn’t expected, however, was that would be the last time the 10-Year saw a yield as high as 3%! Despite a reasonably good pace of economic growth through 2014 and strong gains in employment in the past 15 months, U.S. rates have fallen, primarily due to a global environment of central bank accommodation that has rates across most of the developed

markets lower than within the U.S. So, it’s ironic that despite the lack of sustained upward rate pressure out the yield curve, much of the current rates discussion focuses on when rate hikes will begin and the anticipated pace of follow-up. And it would seem that the Fed’s objectives are at least twofold: one, to take the Fed Funds rate off the zero bound while remaining accommodating and, two, to avoid a violent reaction to the regime change presaged in the May 2013 “Taper Tantrum.”

 

The U.S. Stock Market and our U.S. Equity Funds

 

U.S. stocks posted solid gains during the six month period ended April 30, 2015, with the S&P 500 Index advancing 4.4% on a total return basis despite a number of headwinds during the period. The 58% decline in the price of WTI crude oil from mid-June 2014 to late January of this year, coupled with a nearly 20% gain in the DXY U.S. Dollar Index, undercut stock market investors’ confidence in the resilience of corporate earnings estimates. At the same time, a steady stream of weak macroeconomic data emanating from Europe, Japan, China and many emerging market countries stoked concerns that the U.S. economy could be dragged down by the slowdown in global growth. However, these worries were assuaged by both the Fed’s statement that it would continue to remain patient in terms of the timetable for hiking interest rates, as well as the ECB’s announcement that it would embark upon a quantitative easing program entailing asset purchases totaling at least 1.1 trillion Euros through September 2016. Importantly, corporate earnings results for the first quarter of 2015 proved better than expected and provided support to U.S. stock prices.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, our value-oriented equity strategies outperformed their respective benchmarks, in many cases boosted by their exposure to names in the top-performing consumer discretionary, healthcare, and technology sectors. Several of our more aggressive growth-oriented equity funds trailed their respective benchmarks during the same period, as global growth concerns raised doubts about the strength of the US economic recovery and hurt investor sentiment towards higher beta aggressive growth names.

The U.S. Fixed Income Market and our U.S. Fixed Income Funds

 

Through early 2015, U.S. Treasury yields fell, led by a vigorous rally in January, after which rates retraced higher on a strong February job report, before finishing on a downtrend due to a dovish interpretation of the March FOMC meeting, where the governors uniformly lowered estimates of future Fed Funds levels. The lower yields fueled price appreciation across the market, with modestly narrowing investment grade corporate spreads delivering a solid gain. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) struggled to keep up with the strong U.S. Treasury performance in January and spent the remainder of the quarter playing catch-up, ultimately resulting in a nearly 50 basis point lag on a duration-adjusted basis. Both agency and non-agency commercial MBS (CMBS) generated good relative performance, while asset-backed securities (ABS), overwhelmingly floating rate in nature and thus limited in interest rate duration, produced positive relative returns as well. High yield corporates enjoyed a very good start to the year, especially in February, with a rebound in energy issues, overcoming considerable volatility and a disappointing end to 2014.

 

International/Global Markets and our Emerging Markets Funds

 

The Emerging Markets (EM) have been volatile — a default in Argentina, a border crisis in Russia, the threat of a downgrade in Brazil and a significant repricing of the commodity complex. Throughout this period of volatility, however, EM sovereigns as a whole have been able to retain strong balance sheets, with external debt to GDP in the 40% range – at or near the levels before the Global Financial Crisis — and significantly below that of many developed economies. Against this backdrop, Emerging Markets hard currency debt has outperformed or performed in line with various developed market fixed income indices this year. EM local currency debt, however, has underperformed due to dollar strength, although we believe this segment of the market could be an attractive investment opportunity as we get closer to the first Fed rate hike (dollar strength has typically peaked at or before the first Fed move in previous cycles).

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, the TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund I Share returned a negative 3.59% versus the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index return of +1.37%. Underperformance during this period was primarily driven by an active restructuring in the portfolio in December and January to

reduce corporate exposure and add sovereign exposure. Since we made this shift, we have been tracking more in line with the index. During the same period, the TCW Emerging Markets Local Currency Fund I Share returned a negative 6.46%, outperforming the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index which returned a negative 8.24%. This outperformance was driven by our focus on reform-oriented countries and active currency hedging.

 

An Update on the TCW Fund Family

 

We wanted to update our shareholders on the TCW Funds family over the past six months. During the first quarter, Ray Prasad, CFA, Managing Director, was named Lead Portfolio Manager, and Andrey Glukhov, CFA, Senior Vice President, was named Co-Portfolio Manager for the TCW International Small Cap Fund (TGICX and TGNIX) and the TCW International Growth Fund (TGIBX and TGIDX). Rohit Sah, who served as Portfolio Manager of the funds, left TCW to pursue other opportunities.

 

Looking Ahead

 

As a basis for strategy from a forward-looking perspective, through much of 2014, U.S. economic data had been largely consistent with an effort by the Fed to begin removing monetary accommodation, either by raising rates or shrinking its balance sheet. However, with global growth languishing and a strong U.S. dollar, any move by the Fed to begin tightening policy runs a risk of importing a slower economic pace and spurring market volatility. As a result, the pundits will talk about the Fed looking to “thread the needle” of removing incentives to misallocate capital, while not inadvertently bringing havoc to the markets. Exacerbating the risk of volatility is a liquidity environment that could amplify such effects to the downside, as the reduced size of bank trading books may prove insufficient to meet investor needs. That, in fact, could be an opportunity to capture returns across all the markets in which the Funds operate through disciplined strategy implementation and rigorous security selection, as well as being a provider of liquidity to those most willing to pay for it.

 

With respect to U.S. equities, looking forward, we believe that should the Fed initiate an interest rate hike this Fall, such a rate hike would not necessarily portend a negative backdrop for U.S. stocks if accompanied by sufficient underlying strength in the real economy.

We would add, however, that current valuation levels are in many cases warranted by strong company fundamentals, including deleveraged balance sheets, high cash balances, and near-record profit margins in the midst of a low, stable inflation environment. We remain mindful, of course, of the prospect for heightened volatility until greater clarity emerges with respect to the nature and timing of the Fed’s monetary policy shift to “normalize” interest rates, as well as the resiliency of corporate earnings.

(1) Past performance is not indicative of future performance.
(2) Performance data includes the performance of the predecessor limited partnership for periods before the Fund’s registration became effective. The predecessor limited partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the “1940 Act”), and therefore, was not subjected to certain investment restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the limited partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, the limited partnership’s performance may have been lower.

Notes to the Schedule of Investments:

EETC Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificate.
REIT   Real Estate Investment Trust.
(1)   Rate stated is the effective yield.
(2)   Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold, normally only to qualified institutional buyers. At April 30, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $13,113,207 or 34.6% of net assets. These securities are determined to be liquid by the Advisor, unless otherwise noted, under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors.
(3)   Floating or variable rate security. The interest shown reflects the rate in effect at April 30, 2015.
(4)   All or a portion of this security is segregated to cover when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitments. (Note 2)
(5)   Security is currently in default due to bankruptcy or failure to make payment of principal or interest of the issuer. Income is not being accrued.
(6)   This security is purchased on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.
(7)   Rate disclosed is the 7-day net yield as of April 30, 2015.
(8)   Rate shown represents yield-to-maturity.
(9)   The maximum potential amount the Fund could receive as buyer or pay as seller of protection if a credit event occurred as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
(10)   An implied credit spread is the spread in yield between a U.S. Treasury security and the referenced obligation. Implied credit spreads, represented in the absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads, in comparison to narrower credit spreads, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(11)   The value of a credit default swap agreement serves as an indicator of the current status of the payments/performance risk and represents the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit worthiness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreements.

Note 1 — Organization (Continued)

 

 

All Funds, except for the TCW Short Term Bond Fund, offer two classes of shares: I Class and N Class. The TCW Short Term Bond Fund offers only the I Class shares. The classes are substantially the same except that the N Class shares are subject to a distribution fee (see Note 6).

 

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and which are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

 

Principles of Accounting:    The Funds use the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. Each Fund is considered an investment company under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.

 

Principles of Consolidation:    The financial statements of the TCW Enhanced Commodity Strategy Fund (“Parent”) are consolidated with the TCW Cayman Enhanced Commodity Fund, Ltd (“Subsidiary”), organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Parent gains exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in the Subsidiary which has the same objective, investment policies and restrictions as the Parent. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Subsidiary. The Parent may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The net assets of the Subsidiary at April 30, 2015 were $490,520 or 15.91% of the Parent’s consolidated net assets. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Net Asset Value:    The Net Asset Value of each Class of a Fund is determined by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to each class by the number of shares issued and outstanding of that Class at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time or 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time, but the NYSE sometimes closes earlier) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading.

 

Security Valuations:    Securities listed or traded on the New York and other stock exchanges are valued at the latest sale price on that exchange. Securities traded on the NASDAQ stock market are valued using official closing prices as reported by NASDAQ. All other securities including short-term securities for which over-the-counter (“OTC”) market quotations are readily available are valued with prices furnished by independent pricing services or by broker dealers. Repurchase agreements are priced at cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which it is determined by the Advisor that prices received are not reflective of a security’s market value, are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that a fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Funds disclose investments in a three-tier hierarchy. This hierarchy is utilized to establish classification of fair value inputs for disclosure purposes. Inputs that go into fair value measurement refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may

 

80


Table of Contents

TCW Funds, Inc.

 

April 30, 2015

 

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

 

Level 1 —

   quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 —    other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 —    significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

Fair Value Measurements:    A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows:

 

Asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities.    The fair value of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities is estimated based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche including, but not limited to, the prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3.

 

Bank loans.    The fair value of bank loans is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable and are obtained from independent sources. Bank loans are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

Corporate bonds.    The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, or credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. Corporate bonds are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; in instances where prices, spreads, or any of the other aforementioned key inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in Level 3 of the hierarchy.

 

Credit default swaps.    Credit default swaps are fair valued using pricing models that take into account among other factors, index spread curves, nominal values, modified duration values and cash flows. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of credit default swaps would be categorized in Level 2; otherwise, the fair values would be categorized in Level 3.

 

Foreign currency contracts.    The fair value of foreign currency contracts are derived from indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. To the extent that these factors can be observed, foreign currency contracts are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Futures contracts.    Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the exchange on which they are traded. As such they are categorized in Level 1.

 

Money market funds.    Money market funds are open-end mutual funds that invest in short-term debt securities. To the extent that these funds are valued based upon the reported net asset value, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Municipal bonds.    Municipal bonds are fair valued based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid wants lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of municipal bonds would be categorized in Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized in Level 3.

 

Restricted securities.    Restricted securities, including illiquid Rule 144A securities, issued by non-public entities are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore, the inputs are unobservable. Any other restricted securities valued similar to publicly traded securities may be categorized in Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether a discount is applied and significant to the fair value.

 

Short-term investments.    Short-term investments are valued using market price quotations, and are reflected in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Total return swaps.    Total return swaps are fair valued using pricing models that take into account among other factor, index spread curves, nominal values, modified duration values and cash flows. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of the total return swaps would be categorized in Level 2; otherwise, the fair values would be categorized in Level 3.

 

U.S. and foreign government and agency securities.    U.S. and foreign government and agency securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. Accordingly, U.S. and foreign government and agency securities are normally categorized in Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the liquidity and transparency of the market.

* The valuation technique employed on the Level 3 securities involves the use of the vendor prices. The Advisor monitors the effectiveness of vendor pricing using the valuation process described below.

 

Level 3 Valuation Process:    Investments classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy may be fair valued by the Advisor with consent by the Company’s Pricing Committee in accordance with the guidelines established by the Board of Directors, and under the general oversight of the Board of Directors. The Company’s Pricing Committee employs various methods to determine fair valuations including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions and review of any related market activity. The Company’s Pricing Committee reports to the Board of Directors at their regularly scheduled meetings. It is possible that fair value prices will be used by the Funds to a significant extent. The value determined for an investment using the Company’s fair value procedures may differ from recent market prices for the investment and may be significantly different from the value realized upon the sale of such investment. The Advisor, as part of the daily process, conducts back-testing of prices based on daily trade activities.

 

The Pricing Committee consists of the Chief Risk Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary, and a representative from the portfolio management team as well as alternate members as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate. The Pricing Committee reviews and makes recommendations concerning the fair valuation of portfolio securities and the Funds’ pricing procedures in general.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income:    Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded on the basis of specific identification.

 

Foreign Currency Translation:    The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies, are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

 

Foreign Taxes:    The Funds may be subject to withholding taxes on income and capital gains imposed by certain countries in which they invest. The withholding tax on income is netted against the income accrued or received. Any reclaimable taxes are recorded as income. The withholding tax on realized or unrealized gain is recorded as a liability.

 

Derivative Instruments:    Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on the values of one or more indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. A derivative contract may result in a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. It is possible that a derivative transaction will result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested. The Funds may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, the Funds had the following derivatives and transactions in derivatives, grouped in the following risk categories (amounts in thousands except Notional Amounts or Shares/Units):

Counterparty Credit Risk:    Derivative contracts may be exposed to counterparty risk. Losses can occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

 

The Funds’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on Over-the-Counter (OTC) derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Funds.

 

With exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Funds do not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds. In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with their derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Funds and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets declines by a stated percentage or a Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

 

Collateral requirements:    For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral pledged or received by a Fund.

 

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold typically $250,000 or $500,000, before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of each business day and the collateral is transferred on the next business day. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that the Advisor believes

have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds have implemented the disclosure requirements pursuant to FASB ASU No. 2013-01, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, that requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards.

 

Repurchase Agreements:    The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”). The MRA permits a Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, a Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, a Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the year are listed in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

 

The following table presents the Funds’ OTC derivatives assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under ISDA and/or MRA and net of the related collateral received by the Funds as of April 30, 2015 (in thousands):

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:    The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at April 30, 2015 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures Contracts:    The Funds may enter into futures contracts. A Fund may seek to manage a variety of different risks through the use of futures contracts, such as interest rate risk, equity price risk, and currency risk. A Fund may use index futures to hedge against broad market risks to its portfolio or to gain broad market exposure when it holds uninvested cash or as an inexpensive substitute for cash investments directly in securities or other assets. Securities index futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell units of a securities index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made and are settled in cash. Positions in futures may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a secondary market for such futures. Because futures contracts are exchange-traded, they typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. Parties to a futures contract are not required to post the entire notional amount of the contract, but rather a small percentage of that amount (by way of margin), both at the time they enter into futures transactions, and then on a daily basis if their positions decline in value; as a result, futures contracts are highly leveraged. Such payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Because futures markets are highly leveraged, they can be extremely volatile, and there can be no assurance that the pricing of a futures contract will correlate precisely with the pricing of the asset or index underlying it or the asset or liability of a Fund that is the subject of the hedge. It may not always be possible for a Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to a futures contract it has entered into at a favorable time or price. When a Fund enters into a futures transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the futures contract will move in a direction unfavorable to it.

 

When a Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The TCW Total Return Bond Fund utilized futures to help manage daily liquidity as well as interest rate duration and credit market exposure. Futures contracts outstanding at April 30, 2015 are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

Swap Agreements.    The Funds may enter into swap agreements. Swap agreements are typically two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).

 

In a total return swap, one party typically agrees to pay to the other a short-term interest rate in return for a payment at one or more times in the future based on the increase in the value of an underlying security or other asset, or index of securities or assets; if the underlying security, asset, or index declines in value, the party that pays the short-term interest rate must also pay to its counterparty a payment based on the amount of the decline. A Fund may take either side of such a swap, and so may take a long or short position in the underlying security, asset, or index. A Fund may enter into a total return swap to hedge against an exposure in its portfolio — such as interest rate risk (including to adjust the duration or credit quality of a Fund’s bond portfolio), equity risk, or credit risk — or generally to put cash to work efficiently in the markets in anticipation of, or as a replacement for, cash investments. A Fund may also enter into a total return swap to gain exposure to securities or markets in which it might not be able to invest directly (in so called market access transactions).

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty default is the discounted net asset value of the cash flows paid to/received from the counterparty over the interest rate swap’s remaining life.

 

A Fund may enter into credit default swap transactions as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. In a credit default swap, one party provides what is in effect insurance against a default or other adverse credit event affecting an issuer of debt securities (typically referred to as a “reference entity”). In general, the buyer of credit protection is obligated to pay the protection seller an upfront amount or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the swap. If a “credit event” occurs, the buyer has the right to deliver to the seller bonds or other obligations of the reference entity (with a value up to the full notional value of the swap), and to receive a payment equal to the par value of the bonds or other obligations. Credit events that would trigger a request that the seller make payment are specific to each credit default swap agreement, but generally include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. When a Fund buys protection, it may or may not own securities of the reference entity. When a Fund sells protection under a credit default swap, the position may have the effect of creating leverage in the Fund’s portfolio through the Fund’s indirect long exposure to the issuer or securities on which the swap is written. When a Fund sells protection, it may do so either to earn additional income or to create such a “synthetic” long position.

 

Whenever a Fund enters into a swap agreement, it takes on counterparty risk — the risk that its counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swap agreement. A Fund also takes the risk that the market will move against its position in the swap agreement. In the case of a total return swap, the swap will change in value depending on the change in value of the asset or index on which the swap is written. When a Fund enters into any type of swap for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the swap, at least in part. Swap agreements may be non-transferable or otherwise highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to terminate or transfer a swap agreement at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

 

During the term of a swap transaction, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking to market to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the agreement. Upfront swap premium payments paid or received by a Fund, if any, are recorded within the value of the open swap agreement on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap agreement.

 

During the term of a swap transaction, the periodic net payments can be made for a set period of time or may be triggered by a predetermined credit event. The net periodic payments may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate, the change in market value of a specified security, basket of securities or index, or the return generated by a security. These periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded as

realized gains and losses, respectively. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the TCW High Yield Bond Fund utilized credit default swaps to manage credit market exposure; and the TCW Enhanced Commodity Strategy Fund used total return swap agreements to gain exposure to the commodity market. Swap agreements outstanding at April 30, 2015 are listed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

Mortgage-Backed Securities:    The Funds may invest in mortgage pass-through securities which represent interests in pools of mortgages in which payments of both principal and interest on the securities are generally made monthly, in effect “passing through” monthly payments made by borrowers on the residential or commercial mortgage loans which underlie the securities (net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities). Mortgage pass-through securities differ from other forms of debt securities which normally provide for periodic payment of interest in fixed amounts with principal payments at maturity or specified call dates. These Funds may also invest in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by residential or commercial mortgage loans or residential or commercial mortgage pass-through securities. Interest and principal are generally paid monthly. CMOs may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or private mortgage pass-through securities but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. The issuer of a series of CMOs may elect to be treated for tax purposes as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (“REMIC”). CMOs are structured into multiple classes, each bearing a different stated maturity. Monthly payment of principal received from the pool of underlying mortgages, including prepayments, is first returned to investors holding the shortest maturity class. Investors holding the longer maturity classes usually receive principal only after shorter classes have been retired. An investor may be partially protected against a sooner than desired return of principal because of the sequential payments. These Funds may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.

 

Inflation-Indexed Bonds:    The Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, which are fixed income securities whose principal value or coupon is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income.

 

Inflation-indexed securities issued by the U.S. Treasury have maturities of five, ten, twenty, or thirty years, although it is possible that securities with other maturities will be issued in the future. The U.S. Treasury securities pay interest on a semi-annual basis, equal to a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount.

 

If the periodic adjustment rate measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds, even during a period of deflation. However, the current market value of the bonds is not guaranteed, and will fluctuate.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

The Funds may also invest in other inflation related bonds which may or may not provide a similar guarantee. If a guarantee of principal is not provided, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

 

The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates in turn are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if inflation were to rise at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increased at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds.

 

While the values of these securities are expected to be protected from long-term inflationary trends, short term increases in inflation may lead to declines in values. If interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation (for example, due to changes in currency exchange rates), investors in these securities may not be protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the bond’s inflation measure.

 

When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, To be Announced (“TBA”) and Forward Commitment Transactions:    The Funds may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment transactions in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security or to adjust the interest rate exposure of the Funds’ existing portfolios. In when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. Although the Fund does not pay for the securities or start earning interest on them until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased on a when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment basis, there may be a loss, and that Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.

 

Prior to settlement of these transactions, the value of the subject securities will fluctuate, reflecting interest rate changes. In addition, because a Fund is not required to pay for when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment securities until the delivery date, they may result in a form of leverage to the extent a Fund does not maintain liquid assets equal to the face amount of the contract. To guard against this deemed leverage, the Funds segregate cash and/or securities in an amount or value at least equal to the amount of these transactions.

 

Dollar Roll Transactions:    The Funds may enter into dollar roll transactions with financial institutions to take advantage of opportunities in the mortgage-backed securities market. A dollar roll transaction involves a simultaneous sale of securities by a Fund with an agreement to repurchase substantially similar securities at an agreed upon price and date, but generally will be collateralized at time of delivery by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. These transactions are accounted for as financing transactions as opposed to sales and purchases. The differential between the sale price and the repurchase price is recorded as deferred income and recognized between the settlement dates of the sale and repurchase. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve risk that the market value of the security sold by a Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the security and the potential inability of counter parties to complete the transaction. There were no such transactions by the Funds for the period ended April 30, 2015.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

Reverse Repurchase Agreements:    The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales of portfolio securities by a Fund concurrently with an agreement by the same Fund to repurchase the same securities at a later date for a fixed price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, while it will be able to keep the interest income associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are only advantageous if the interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the cost of otherwise obtaining the cash. There were no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at April 30, 2015.

 

Security Lending:    The Funds may lend their securities to qualified brokers. The loans must be collateralized at all times primarily with cash although the Funds can accept money market instruments or U.S. Government securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with any extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral if the borrowers of the securities fail financially. The Funds earn additional income for lending their securities by investing the cash collateral in short-term investments. The Funds did not lend any securities during the period ended April 30, 2015.

 

Allocation of Operating Activity for Multiple Classes:    Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the classes of shares of a Fund based on the relative net assets of each class. Distribution fees, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to the operations of that class. All other expenses are charged to each Fund or class as incurred on a specific identification basis. Differences in class specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income, and therefore, the payment of different per share dividends by each class.

 

Dividends and Distributions:    Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The TCW Enhanced Commodity Strategy Fund declares and pays, or reinvests, dividends from net investment income quarterly. The other Fixed Income Funds declare and pay, or reinvest, dividends from net investment income monthly. Distribution of any net long-term and net short-term capital gains earned by a Fund will be distributed at least annually.

 

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, market discount and premium, losses deferred due to wash sales, excise tax regulations and employing equalization in determining amounts to be distributed to fund shareholders. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications between paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income (loss), and/or undistributed accumulated realized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income or loss may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or capital gain remaining at fiscal yearend is distributed in the following year.

 

Use of Estimates:    The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 3 — Risk Considerations

 

Market Risk:    The Funds’ investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Funds. You could lose money on your investment in the Funds or the Funds could underperform other investments.

 

Liquidity Risk:    The Funds’ investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Funds because they may not be able to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Investments in high yield securities, foreign securities, derivatives or other securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. Certain investments in private placements and Rule 144A securities may be considered illiquid investments. The Funds may invest in private placements and Rule 144A securities.

 

Interest Rate Risk:    The values of the Funds’ investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The longer the average duration of a Fund’s investment portfolio, the greater the change in value.

 

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk:    Each Fund may invest in mortgage-backed or other asset-backed securities. The values of some mortgage-backed or other asset-backed securities may expose a Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage related-securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed-income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If unanticipated rate of prepayment on underlying mortgages increase the effective maturity of a mortgage-related security, the volatility of the security can be expected to increase. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

 

Derivatives Risk:    Use of derivatives, which at times is an important part of the Funds’ investment strategies, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Investments in derivatives could cause the Funds to lose more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Funds will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when that would be beneficial.

 

Credit Risk:    The values of any of the Funds’ investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which a Fund may invest are considered speculative and are subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment-grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The value of some mortgage-related securities in which the Funds invest also may fall because of unanticipated levels of principal prepayments that can occur when interest rates decline. Certain Funds invest a material portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage

Note 3 — Risk Considerations (Continued)

 

loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain issuers held by the Funds.

 

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and Asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are characterized and classified in a variety of different ways. These classifications include a view of the securities’ cash flow structure (passthrough, sequential pay, prepayment-protected, interest-only, principal-only, etc.), the security of the claim on the underlying assets, (senior, mezzanine and subordinated), as well as types of underlying collateral (prime conforming loans, prime non-conforming loans, Alt-A loans, subprime loans, commercial loans, etc.) In many cases, the classification incorporates a degree of subjectivity: a particular loan might be categorized as “prime” by the underwriting standards of one mortgage issuer while another might classify the loan as “subprime.” In addition to other functions, the risk associated with an investment in a mortgage loan must take into account the nature of the collateral, the form and the level of credit enhancement, the vintage of the loan, the geography of the loan, the purpose of the loan (refinance versus purchase versus equity take-out), the borrower’s credit quality (e.g. FICO score), and whether the loan is a first trust deed or a second lien.

 

Counterparty Risk:    The Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is reflected in fair value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

For complete information on the various risks involved, please refer to the Funds’ prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information which can be obtained on the Funds’ website (www.tcw.com) or by calling the customer service.

 

Note 4 — Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred after that date will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in the pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of the ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

 

The following Funds had net realized losses that will be carried forward indefinitely for federal income tax purposes (amounts in thousands):

The amount borne by the Advisor during the fiscal year when the operating expenses of a fund are in excess of the expense limitation cannot be recaptured in the subsequent fiscal years should the expenses drop below the expense limitation in the subsequent years. The Advisor can recapture expenses only within a given fiscal year for that year’s operating expenses.

 

Directors’ Fees:    Directors who are not affiliated with the Advisor receive compensation from the Funds which are shown on the Statement of Operations. Directors may elect to defer receipt of their fees in accordance with the terms of a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts deferred are recorded on the Funds’ books as other liabilities. Deferred compensation is included within directors’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 9 — Restricted Securities

 

The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that have legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. There were no restricted securities at April 30, 2015.

 

Note 10 — Indemnifications

 

Under the Company’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement with each of the Directors which provides that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Director against any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any Director in any proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Director’s services to the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Securities Act of 1933, and the 1940 Act, each as now or hereinafter in force. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote. The Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnification.

 

Note 11 — Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures” (“ASU 2014-11”) to improve the financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. ASU 2014-11 includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements.

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a TCW Fund, you incur ongoing operational costs of the Fund, including management fees and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015 (181 days).

 

Actual Expenses    The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes    The second line under each Fund in the table below provides information about the hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account value and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

David S. DeVito

President, Chief Executive Officer & Director

 

Dear Valued Investors:

I am pleased to present the semi-annual report for the TCW Funds, Inc. covering the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. I would like to thank you for your continued investment in the TCW Funds as well as welcome new shareholders to our fund family. As of April 30, 2015, the TCW Funds held total net assets of approximately $19.3 billion.

 

This report contains information outlining the performance of the TCW Funds and a listing of the portfolio holdings as of April 30, 2015.

 

About the TCW Funds

 

The TCW Funds offer shareholders a choice of 22 funds, each targeted to specific asset classes, market segments or multiple sectors of the global equity and fixed income markets. For U.S. equities, we offer funds across the market capitalization and growth/value spectrums. In fixed income, our funds provide investors opportunities across global fixed income markets including U.S. government, corporate and high yield bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, as well as sovereign and corporate bonds denominated in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies. Each TCW Fund is managed by long-tenured investment teams with experience through many market cycles. Rigorous fundamental research, disciplined risk analysis and deep market expertise are the foundation for each of our funds.

 

The Economy

 

When the Federal Reserve announced in December 2013 that the time had come to begin drawing down its purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgages, the market reacted with a backup in yields that saw the 10-Year Note climb above 3% for the first time since 2011. That wasn’t so surprising; after all, the Fed was removing itself — and $85 billion of monthly purchasing power — from those markets, a considerable technical drag. What wasn’t expected, however, was that would be the last time the 10-Year saw a yield as high as 3%! Despite a reasonably good pace of economic growth through 2014 and strong gains in employment in the past 15 months, U.S. rates have fallen, primarily due to a global environment of central bank accommodation that has rates across most of the developed

markets lower than within the U.S. So, it’s ironic that despite the lack of sustained upward rate pressure out the yield curve, much of the current rates discussion focuses on when rate hikes will begin and the anticipated pace of follow-up. And it would seem that the Fed’s objectives are at least twofold: one, to take the Fed Funds rate off the zero bound while remaining accommodating and, two, to avoid a violent reaction to the regime change presaged in the May 2013 “Taper Tantrum.”

 

The U.S. Stock Market and our U.S. Equity Funds

 

U.S. stocks posted solid gains during the six month period ended April 30, 2015, with the S&P 500 Index advancing 4.4% on a total return basis despite a number of headwinds during the period. The 58% decline in the price of WTI crude oil from mid-June 2014 to late January of this year, coupled with a nearly 20% gain in the DXY U.S. Dollar Index, undercut stock market investors’ confidence in the resilience of corporate earnings estimates. At the same time, a steady stream of weak macroeconomic data emanating from Europe, Japan, China and many emerging market countries stoked concerns that the U.S. economy could be dragged down by the slowdown in global growth. However, these worries were assuaged by both the Fed’s statement that it would continue to remain patient in terms of the timetable for hiking interest rates, as well as the ECB’s announcement that it would embark upon a quantitative easing program entailing asset purchases totaling at least 1.1 trillion Euros through September 2016. Importantly, corporate earnings results for the first quarter of 2015 proved better than expected and provided support to U.S. stock prices.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, our value-oriented equity strategies outperformed their respective benchmarks, in many cases boosted by their exposure to names in the top-performing consumer discretionary, healthcare, and technology sectors. Several of our more aggressive growth-oriented equity funds trailed their respective benchmarks during the same period, as global growth concerns raised doubts about the strength of the US economic recovery and hurt investor sentiment towards higher beta aggressive growth names.

The U.S. Fixed Income Market and our U.S. Fixed Income Funds

 

Through early 2015, U.S. Treasury yields fell, led by a vigorous rally in January, after which rates retraced higher on a strong February job report, before finishing on a downtrend due to a dovish interpretation of the March FOMC meeting, where the governors uniformly lowered estimates of future Fed Funds levels. The lower yields fueled price appreciation across the market, with modestly narrowing investment grade corporate spreads delivering a solid gain. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) struggled to keep up with the strong U.S. Treasury performance in January and spent the remainder of the quarter playing catch-up, ultimately resulting in a nearly 50 basis point lag on a duration-adjusted basis. Both agency and non-agency commercial MBS (CMBS) generated good relative performance, while asset-backed securities (ABS), overwhelmingly floating rate in nature and thus limited in interest rate duration, produced positive relative returns as well. High yield corporates enjoyed a very good start to the year, especially in February, with a rebound in energy issues, overcoming considerable volatility and a disappointing end to 2014.

 

International/Global Markets and our Emerging Markets Funds

 

The Emerging Markets (EM) have been volatile — a default in Argentina, a border crisis in Russia, the threat of a downgrade in Brazil and a significant repricing of the commodity complex. Throughout this period of volatility, however, EM sovereigns as a whole have been able to retain strong balance sheets, with external debt to GDP in the 40% range – at or near the levels before the Global Financial Crisis — and significantly below that of many developed economies. Against this backdrop, Emerging Markets hard currency debt has outperformed or performed in line with various developed market fixed income indices this year. EM local currency debt, however, has underperformed due to dollar strength, although we believe this segment of the market could be an attractive investment opportunity as we get closer to the first Fed rate hike (dollar strength has typically peaked at or before the first Fed move in previous cycles).

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, the TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund I Share returned a negative 3.59% versus the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index return of +1.37%. Underperformance during this period was primarily driven by an active restructuring in the portfolio in December and January to

reduce corporate exposure and add sovereign exposure. Since we made this shift, we have been tracking more in line with the index. During the same period, the TCW Emerging Markets Local Currency Fund I Share returned a negative 6.46%, outperforming the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index which returned a negative 8.24%. This outperformance was driven by our focus on reform-oriented countries and active currency hedging.

 

An Update on the TCW Fund Family

 

We wanted to update our shareholders on the TCW Funds family over the past six months. During the first quarter, Ray Prasad, CFA, Managing Director, was named Lead Portfolio Manager, and Andrey Glukhov, CFA, Senior Vice President, was named Co-Portfolio Manager for the TCW International Small Cap Fund (TGICX and TGNIX) and the TCW International Growth Fund (TGIBX and TGIDX). Rohit Sah, who served as Portfolio Manager of the funds, left TCW to pursue other opportunities.

 

Looking Ahead

 

As a basis for strategy from a forward-looking perspective, through much of 2014, U.S. economic data had been largely consistent with an effort by the Fed to begin removing monetary accommodation, either by raising rates or shrinking its balance sheet. However, with global growth languishing and a strong U.S. dollar, any move by the Fed to begin tightening policy runs a risk of importing a slower economic pace and spurring market volatility. As a result, the pundits will talk about the Fed looking to “thread the needle” of removing incentives to misallocate capital, while not inadvertently bringing havoc to the markets. Exacerbating the risk of volatility is a liquidity environment that could amplify such effects to the downside, as the reduced size of bank trading books may prove insufficient to meet investor needs. That, in fact, could be an opportunity to capture returns across all the markets in which the Funds operate through disciplined strategy implementation and rigorous security selection, as well as being a provider of liquidity to those most willing to pay for it.

 

With respect to U.S. equities, looking forward, we believe that should the Fed initiate an interest rate hike this Fall, such a rate hike would not necessarily portend a negative backdrop for U.S. stocks if accompanied by sufficient underlying strength in the real economy. Yet, we note that because 2015 U.S. earnings growth expectations have declined from the high to the

mid-single digits on the back of a dismal energy sector earnings outlook, consensus stock valuations have drifted up to approximately 17 times forward earnings, which is slightly above their three-decade average of around 16 times. We would add, however, that current valuation levels are in many cases warranted by strong company fundamentals, including deleveraged balance sheets, high cash balances, and near-record profit margins in the midst of a low, stable inflation environment. We remain mindful, of course, of the prospect for heightened volatility until greater clarity emerges with respect to the nature and timing of the Fed’s monetary policy shift to “normalize” interest rates, as well as the resiliency of corporate earnings.

 

We know that you have many choices when it comes to the management of your financial assets. On behalf of everyone at TCW, I would like to thank you for making the TCW Funds part of your long-term investment plan. We truly value our relationship with you. If you have any questions or require further information, I invite you to visit our website at www.tcw.com, or call our shareholder services department at 800-386-3829.

 

 

I look forward to reporting to you again at the end of our fiscal year.

 

 

Sincerely,

The limited partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the “1940 Act”), and therefore, was not subjected to certain investment restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the limited partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, the limited partnership’s performance may have been lower.
(3) Inception date of the predecessor entity.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and which are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

 

Principles of Accounting:    The Funds use the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. Each Fund is considered an investment company under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.

 

Net Asset Value:    The Net Asset Value of each Class of a Fund is determined by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to each class by the number of shares issued and outstanding of that Class at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time or 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time, but the NYSE sometimes closes earlier) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading.

 

Security Valuations:    Securities listed or traded on the New York and other stock exchanges are valued at the latest sale price on that exchange. Securities traded on the NASDAQ stock market are valued using official closing prices as reported by NASDAQ. All other securities for which over-the-counter (“OTC”) market quotations are readily available including short-term securities are valued with prices furnished by independent pricing services or by broker dealers. Repurchase agreements are priced at cost which approximates market value. Exchange traded derivatives are valued at the last sale price, or if no sales are reported, the mean price for purchased and written options, and the last ask price for swaps and futures. Over the counter options are valued using dealer quotations.

 

The Company has adopted, after the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, a fair valuation methodology for foreign equity securities (exclusive of certain Latin American and Canadian equity securities). This methodology is designed to address the effect of movements in the U.S. market on the securities traded on a foreign exchange that has been closed for a period of time due to time zone difference. The utilization of the fair value model may result in the adjustment of prices taking into account fluctuations in the U.S. market. The fair value model is utilized each trading day and not dependent on certain thresholds or triggers.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which the prices received are not reflective of a security’s market value, are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that a fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Funds disclose investments in a three-tier hierarchy. This hierarchy is utilized to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs that go into fair value measurement refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

 

Level 1 —    quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 —    other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 —    significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

Fair Value Measurements:    A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows:

 

Corporate bonds.    The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, or credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. Corporate bonds are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; in instances where prices, spreads, or any of the other aforementioned key inputs are unobservable, they are categorized in Level 3 of the hierarchy.

 

Equity securities.    Securities are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Restricted securities issued by publicly held companies are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; if a discount is applied and significant, they are categorized in Level 3. Restricted securities held in non-public entities are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore, the inputs are unobservable. Certain foreign securities that may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

Foreign currency contracts.    The fair value of foreign currency contracts are derived from indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. To the extent that these factors can be observed, foreign currency contracts are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Futures contracts.    Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the exchange on which they are traded. The value of each of the Funds’ futures contracts is marked daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. As such they are categorized in Level 1.

 

Participation Notes.    Participation Notes are fair valued based on underlying equity security valuations. Valuation of underlying equity securities is derived from the market exchange or quotations from dealers. Participation Notes are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Restricted securities.    Restricted securities, including illiquid Rule 144A securities, issued by non-public entities are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore, the inputs are unobservable. Any other restricted securities valued similar to publicly traded securities may be categorized in Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether a discount is applied and significant to the fair value.

 

Rights.    Rights are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. They are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Short-term investments.    Short-term investments are valued using market price quotations, and are reflected in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized in Level 2.

 

Warrants.    Warrants are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. They are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2015 in valuing the TCW Funds:

TCW International Growth Fund

TCW International Small Cap Fund

             244,091   

 

* The Funds recognized transfers between the Levels as of the beginning of the period.

 

The transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the period ended April 30, 2015, were due to utilization of exchange closing prices rather than “fair value” prices.

 

The Funds held no investments or other financial instruments at April 30, 2015 whose fair value was calculated using Level 3 inputs.

 

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income:    Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded on the basis of specific identification.

 

Foreign Currency Translation:    The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the market value of foreign securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies, are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

Foreign Taxes:    The Funds may be subject to withholding taxes on income and capital gains imposed by certain countries in which they invest. The withholding tax on income is netted against the income accrued or received. Any reclaimable taxes are recorded as income. The withholding tax on realized or unrealized gain is recorded as a liability.

 

Derivative Instruments:    Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based on the values of one or more indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. It is possible that a derivative transaction will result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested. The Funds may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, the Funds had the following derivatives and transactions in derivatives, grouped in the following risk categories (amounts in thousands except Notional Amounts or Shares/Units):

(2) Amount disclosed represents average number of contracts or notional amounts, which are representative of the volume traded for the period ended April 30, 2015.

Counterparty Credit Risk:    Derivative contracts may be exposed to counterparty risk. Losses can occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

 

The Funds’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Funds.

 

With exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Funds do not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds. In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master

Agreement”) or similar agreement with their derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Funds and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or fail to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

 

Collateral requirements:    For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral pledged or received by a Fund.

 

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold typically $250,000 or $500,000, before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of each business day and the collateral is transferred on the next business day. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that Advisor believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds have implemented the disclosure requirements pursuant to FASB ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities that requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards.

 

Repurchase Agreements:    The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”). The MRA permits a Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from each Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Funds receive securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Funds upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Funds recognize a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Funds obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period are listed in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:    The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to market daily and the change in market value is recorded by each Fund as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at April 30, 2015 are listed in each of the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

Future Contracts:    The Funds may enter into futures contracts. A Fund may seek to manage a variety of different risks through the use of futures contracts, such as interest rate risk, equity price risk, and currency risk. A Fund may use index futures to hedge against broad market risks to its portfolio or to gain broad market exposure when it holds uninvested cash or as an inexpensive substitute for cash investments directly in securities or other assets. Securities index futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell units of a securities index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made and are settled in cash. Positions in futures may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a secondary market for such futures. Because futures contracts are exchange-traded, they typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. Parties to a futures contract are not required to post the entire notional amount of the contract, but rather a small percentage of that amount (by way of margin), both at the time they enter into futures transactions, and then on a daily basis if their positions decline in value; as a result, futures contracts are highly leveraged. Such payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Because futures markets are highly leveraged, they can be extremely volatile, and there can be no assurance that the pricing of a futures contract will correlate precisely with the pricing of the asset or index underlying it or the asset or liability of a Fund that is the

subject of the hedge. It may not always be possible for a Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to a futures contract it has entered into, at a favorable time or price. When a Fund enters into a futures transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the futures contract will move in a direction unfavorable to it.

 

When a Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund utilized futures to help manage interest rate duration and credit market exposure. Futures contracts outstanding at April 30, 2015 are listed in the Schedules of Investments.

 

Options:    The Funds may purchase and sell put and call options on an index of securities to enhance investment performance and to protect against changes in market prices. The Funds may also enter into currency options to hedge against currency fluctuations.

 

A call option gives the holder the right to purchase, and obligates the writer to sell, a security at the strike price at any time before the expiration date. A Fund may purchase put options to protect portfolio holdings against a decline in market value of a security or securities held by it. A Fund may also purchase a put option hoping to profit from an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying security. If a Fund holds the security underlying the option, the option premium and any transaction costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it sold the underlying security instead of buying the put option. A Fund may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price of securities that the Fund ultimately wants to buy. A Fund may also purchase a call option as a long directional investment hoping to profit from an anticipated increase in the value of the underlying security. In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit a Fund might have realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call option.

 

When a Fund purchases an option, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the option in a relatively short period of time, unless the Fund exercises the option or enters into a closing sale transaction before the option’s expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise (in the case of a call) or fall (in the case of a put) to an extent sufficient to cover the option premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment in the option. This contrasts with an investment by a Fund in the underlying security, since the Fund will not realize a loss if the security’s price does not change. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses.

 

Options purchased or sold by a Fund may be traded on a securities or options exchange. Such options typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. However, an exchange or market may at times find it necessary to impose restrictions on particular types of options transactions, such as opening transactions. If an underlying security ceases to meet qualifications imposed by an exchange or the Options Clearing Corporation, new series of options on that security will no longer be opened to replace expiring series, and opening transactions in existing series may be prohibited.

 

OTC options are options not traded on exchanges or backed by clearinghouses. Rather, they are entered into directly between a Fund and the counterparty to the option. In the case of an OTC option purchased by a Fund, the value of the option to the Fund will depend on the willingness and ability of the option writer to

perform its obligations to the Fund. In addition, OTC options may not be transferable and there may be little or no secondary market for them, so they may be considered illiquid. It may not be possible to enter into closing transactions with respect to OTC options or otherwise to terminate such options, and as a result a Fund may be required to remain obligated on an unfavorable OTC option until its expiration. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the Funds did not purchase or write any options.

 

Swap Agreements.    The Funds may enter into swap agreements. Swap agreements are typically two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).

 

A Fund may enter into total return swaps. In a total return swap, one party typically agrees to pay to the other a short-term interest rate in return for a payment at one or more times in the future based on the increase in the value of an underlying security or other asset, or index of securities or assets; if the underlying security, asset, or index declines in value, the party that pays the short-term interest rate must also pay to its counterparty a payment based on the amount of the decline. A Fund may take either side of such a swap, and so may take a long or short position in the underlying security, asset, or index. A Fund may enter into a total return swap to hedge against an exposure in its portfolio — such as interest rate risk (including to adjust the duration or credit quality of a Fund’s bond portfolio), equity risk, or credit risk—or generally to put cash to work efficiently in the markets in anticipation of, or as a replacement for, cash investments. A Fund may also enter into a total return swap to gain exposure to securities or markets in which it might not be able to invest directly (in so-called market access transactions). A Fund may enter into enter into an interest rate swap agreement. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty default is the discounted net asset value of the cash flows paid to/received from the counterparty over the interest rate swap’s remaining life.

 

A Fund may enter into credit default swap transactions as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. In a credit default swap, one party provides what is in effect insurance against a default or other adverse credit event affecting an issuer of debt securities (typically referred to as a “reference entity”). In general, the buyer of credit protection is obligated to pay the protection seller an upfront amount or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the swap. If a “credit event” occurs, the buyer has the right to deliver to the seller bonds or other obligations of the reference entity (with a value up to the full notional value of the swap), and to receive a payment equal to the par value of the bonds or other obligations. Credit events that would trigger a request that the seller make payment are specific to each credit default swap agreement, but generally include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. When a Fund buys protection, it may or may not own securities of the reference entity. When a Fund sells protection under a credit default swap, the position may have the effect of creating leverage in the Fund’s portfolio through the Fund’s indirect long exposure to the issuer or securities on which the swap is written. When a Fund sells protection, it may do so either to earn additional income or to create such a “synthetic” long position.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

Whenever a Fund enters into a swap agreement, it takes on counterparty risk — the risk that its counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swap agreement. A Fund also takes the risk that the market will move against its position in the swap agreement. In the case of a total return swap, the swap will change in value depending on the change in value of the asset or index on which the swap is written. When a Fund enters into any type of swap for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the swap, at least in part. Swap agreements may be non-transferable or otherwise highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to terminate or transfer a swap agreement at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

 

During the term of a swap transaction, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking to market to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the agreement. Upfront swap premium payments paid or received by a Fund, if any, are recorded within the value of the open swap agreement on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap agreement.

 

During the term of a swap transaction, the periodic net payments can be made for a set period of time or may be triggered by a predetermined credit event. The net periodic payments may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate, the change in market value of a specified security, basket of securities or index, or the return generated by a security. These periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded as realized gains and losses, respectively. During the period ended April 30, 2015, the Funds did not enter into such agreements.

 

When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, and Forward Commitment Transactions:    The Funds may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment transactions in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security or to adjust the interest rate exposure of each Fund’s existing portfolio. In when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. Although the Fund does not pay for the securities or start earning interest on them until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased on a when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment basis, there may be a loss, and that Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.

 

Prior to settlement of these transactions, the value of the subject securities will fluctuate, reflecting interest rate changes. In addition, because the Fund is not required to pay for when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment securities until the delivery date, they may result in a form of leverage to the extent the Fund does not maintain liquid assets equal to the face amount of the contract. To guard against this deemed leverage, the Funds segregate cash and/or securities in an amount or value at least equal to the amount of these transactions.

 

Participation Notes:    The Funds may invest in participation notes of equity-linked instruments (collectively, participation notes), through which a counterparty provides exposure to common stock, in the form of an unsecured interest, in markets where direct investment by a Fund is not possible. Participation

notes provide the economic benefit of common stock ownership to a Fund, while legal ownership and voting rights are retained by the counterparty. Although participation notes are usually structured with a defined maturity or termination date, early redemption may be possible. Risks associated with participation notes include the possible failure of counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement, inability to transfer or liquidate the notes, potential delays or an inability to redeem before maturity under certain market conditions, and limited legal recourse against the issuer of the underlying common stock. The TCW Emerging Markets Multi-Asset Opportunities Fund held participation notes as of April 30, 2015, which are listed on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

Security Lending:    The Funds may lend their securities to qualified brokers. The loans must be collateralized at all times primarily with cash although the Funds can accept money market instruments or U.S. Government securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with any extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral if the borrowers of the securities fail financially. The Funds earn additional income for lending their securities by investing the cash collateral in short-term investments. The Funds did not lend any securities during the period ended April 30, 2015.

 

Allocation of Operating Activity for Multiple Classes:    Investment income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the classes of shares of the Funds based on the relative net assets of each class. Distribution fees, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to the operations of the class. All other expenses are charged to each Fund or class as incurred on a specific identification basis. Differences in class specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income, and therefore, the payment of dividends may differ between classes.

 

Dividends and Distributions:    Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund and the TCW Emerging Markets Local Currency Income Fund declare and pay, or reinvest, dividends from net investment income monthly. The other Funds declare and pay, or reinvest, dividends from net investment income annually. Distribution of any net long term and net short-term capital gains earned by a fund will be distributed at least annually.

 

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, market discount and premium, losses deferred due to wash sales, excise tax regulations and employing equalization in determining amounts to be distributed to fund shareholders. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications between paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income (loss), and/or undistributed accumulated realized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income or loss may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or capital gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

 

Use of Estimates:    The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 3 — Risk Considerations

 

 

Market Risk:    The Funds’ investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Funds. You could lose money on your investment in the Funds or the Funds could underperform other investments.

 

Liquidity Risk:    The Funds’ investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Funds because they may not be able to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Investments in high yield securities, foreign securities, derivatives or other securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. Certain investments in private placements and Rule 144A securities may be considered illiquid investments. The Funds may invest in private placements and Rule 144A securities.

 

Interest Rate Risk:    The values of the Funds’ investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The longer the average duration of a Fund’s investment portfolio, the greater the change in value.

 

Derivatives Risk:    Use of derivatives, which at times is an important part of the Funds’ investment strategy, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Investments in derivatives could cause the Funds to lose more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Funds will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when that would be beneficial.

 

Credit Risk:    The values of any of the Funds’ investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which a Fund may invest are considered speculative and are subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment-grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions.

 

Counterparty Risk:    The Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is reflected in fair value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Foreign Currency Risk:    The Funds may be exposed to the risk that the value of the Funds’ investments denominated in foreign currencies will decline in value because the foreign currency has declined in value relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

Foreign Investing Risk:    The Funds may be exposed to the risk that the Funds share prices will fluctuate with market conditions, currency exchange rates and the economic and political climates in countries where the Funds invest.

 

For complete information on the various risks involved, please refer to the Funds’ prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information which can be obtained on the Funds’ website (www.tcw.com) or by calling the customer service.

 

Note 4 — Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

(2) These limitations are based on an agreement between the Advisor and Company.

 

The amount borne by the Advisor during the fiscal year when the operating expenses of a fund are in excess of the expense limitation cannot be recaptured in the subsequent fiscal years should the expenses drop below the expense limitation in the subsequent years. The Advisor can recapture expenses only within a given fiscal year for that year’s operating expenses.

 

Note 6 — Distribution Plan

 

TCW Funds Distributors (“Distributor”), an affiliate of the Advisor and the Funds, serves as the nonexclusive distributor of each class of the Funds’ shares. The Funds have a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the N Class shares of each Fund. Under the terms of the

Note 10 — Indemnifications

 

 

Under the Company’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement with each of the Directors which provides that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Director against any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any Director in any proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Director’s services to the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Securities Act of 1933, and the 1940 Act, each as now or hereinafter in force. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote. The Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnification.

 

Note 11 — Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures” (“ASU 2014-11”) to improve the financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. ASU 2014-11 includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements.

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a TCW Fund, you incur ongoing operational costs of the Fund, including management fees and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015 (181 days).

 

Actual Expenses    The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes    The second line under each Fund in the table below provides information about the hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account value and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
