1. SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION (Continued)

 

The Low Duration Bond Fund seeks to maximize current income, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in fixed income securities it regards as bonds. The Fund’s portfolio duration is up to three years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from one to five years.

The Strategic Income Fund seeks to maximize long-term total return without tracking any particular markets or indices. The Fund pursues its objective by utilizing a flexible investment approach that allocates Investments across a range of global investment opportunities related to credit, currencies and interest rates. Satisfying the Fund’s objective would require it to achieve positive total returns over a full market cycle, i.e., a period of time generally understood to be contained between two consecutive periods of heightened default activity within the global fixed income markets. Total return includes income and capital gains, but the Fund’s strategy is also intended to produce high income.

The Sustainable Securitized Fund seeks to maximize current income and achieve above average long-term total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets in debt securities issued by securitized vehicles and similar instruments that the Adviser believes satisfy its proprietary screening criteria that identify securities with one or more positive environmental, social or sustainable factors. The Fund’s portfolio duration is two to eight years and the Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity ranges from two to fifteen years.

The Total Return Bond Fund seeks to maximize long-term total return. The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade fixed income securities or unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in fixed income securities it regards as bonds. The Fund’s portfolio duration is two to eight years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from two to fifteen years.

The Ultra Short Bond Fund seeks to maximize current income, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 90% of its net assets in investment grade fixed income securities or unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in fixed income securities it regards as bonds. The Fund’s portfolio duration normally will remain within one year of its benchmark index. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity normally exceeds one year.

The Unconstrained Bond Fund seeks to provide investors with positive long-term returns irrespective of general securities market conditions. The Fund intends to pursue its objective by utilizing a flexible investment approach that allocates investments across a range of global investment opportunities related to credit, currencies and interest rates. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities and instruments it regards as bonds in the U.S. and abroad, including emerging markets, and may purchase securities of varying maturities issued by domestic and foreign corporations and governments. There is no limit on the weighted average maturity of the Fund’s portfolio, and the average portfolio duration of the fixed-income portion of the Fund’s portfolio is expected to vary from negative three (-3) years to positive eight (8) years.

A more complete description of the objectives and strategies of each of the Funds can be found in the Prospectuses and the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained at www.tcw.com or by calling (800) 241-4671.

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 (“GAAP”) and which are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Fund is considered an investment company under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. Subsequent events, if any, have been evaluated through the date of issuance in the preparation of the financial statements.

Principles of Accounting: The Funds use the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes.

Principles of Consolidation: The TCW MetWest Cayman Total Return Bond Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary acting as an investment vehicle for the TCW Total Return Bond Fund (the “Parent”) in order to effect certain investments for the Parent consistent with the Parent’s investment objectives and policies as specified in its prospectus and statement of additional information. The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Subsidiary. The Parent’s investment in the Subsidiary will normally not exceed 25% of the value of the Parent’s total assets tested at the time of making an investment. The net assets of the Subsidiary at September 30, 2025 were $181,310,271 or 0.56% of the Parent’s consolidated net assets. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Net Asset Value: The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of each class of a Fund is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of the class of the Fund on each business day as of 4 p.m. ET.

Security Valuation: Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Board of Trustees”, and each member thereof, a “Trustee”) has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” with respect to the fair valuation of the Funds’ portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and periodic reporting to the Board. Fixed income securities for which market quotations are readily available were valued during the period at prices as provided by independent pricing vendors or broker quotes. The Funds received pricing information from independent pricing vendors selected and overseen by the valuation designee. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. The Funds also use a benchmark pricing system to the extent vendors’ prices for their securities are either inaccurate (such as when the reported prices are different from recent known market transactions) or are not available from another pricing source. For a security priced using this system, the Adviser initially selects a proxy composed of a relevant security (e.g., U.S. Treasury Note) or benchmark and a multiplier, divisor or margin that the Adviser believes would together best reflect changes in the market value of the security. The value of the security changes daily based on changes to the market price of the assigned benchmark. The benchmark pricing system is continuously reviewed by the Adviser and implemented according to the pricing policy reviewed by the Board. S&P 500 Index futures contracts are valued at the first sale price after 4 p.m. ET on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. All other futures contracts are valued at the official settlement price of the exchange on which those securities are traded. Equity securities, including depository receipts, are valued at the last reported sale price or the market’s closing price on the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the average of the bid and ask prices. In cases where equity securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange or market determined by the Adviser to be the broadest and most representative market,

which may be either a securities exchange or the over-the-counter market. Equity options are valued at the average of the bid and ask prices. Securities and other assets that could not be valued as described above were valued at their fair value as determined by the Adviser in accordance with procedures approved by and under the general oversight of the Board.

Investments in registered open-ended investment companies, including those classified as money market funds, are valued based upon the reported NAV of such investments.

Fair value methods used by the Adviser included, but were not limited to, obtaining market quotations from secondary pricing services, broker-dealers, or widely used quotation systems. General factors considered in determining the fair value of securities include fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition of the securities, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are purchased and sold. These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used. In the event that the security or asset could not be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods used by the Adviser, the value of the security or asset was determined in good faith by the Adviser, as the valuation designee. When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Adviser believes accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of its NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Funds cannot guarantee that values determined by the Adviser would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) foreign currency denominated 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 reclassified to 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.

Securities and Derivatives Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are accounted for no later than the first NAV calculation on the first business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, portfolio securities transactions are reported on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the first-in, first-out method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Discounts, including original issue discount, and premiums on securities are amortized using the effective interest method.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds expect to pay dividends monthly to shareholders. Distributions of net capital gains, if any, will be made at least annually. The Board may determine to declare and make distributions more or less frequently.

Federal Income Taxation: It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three and four fiscal years, respectively.

As of and during the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Trust has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash which can be in interest-bearing accounts. The Funds also maintain cash in bank account deposits that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds have not experienced any losses in any such accounts.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

* Level 1 —    unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
* Level 2 —    other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
* Level 3 —    significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data

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.

 

189

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

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 as 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.

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 as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized as 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 market inputs obtained from independent sources. Bank loans are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable; they would then be categorized as Level 3.

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 as 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 as Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Credit default swaps. Credit default swaps are fair valued using pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, default probabilities from index-specific credit spread curves, recovery rates, and cash flows. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of credit default swaps would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Equity securities. Securities such as common stocks and warrants are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied and they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Restricted securities issued by publicly held companies are valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities and may be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that the discount is considered to be insignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety; otherwise they

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

may be categorized as Level 3. Restricted securities held in non-public entities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore the inputs are unobservable.

Foreign currency contracts. The fair value of foreign currency contracts is derived from indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of broker-dealer quotations or by pricing service providers. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of financial derivatives can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as indices and exchange rates. Foreign currency contracts are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are traded on commodity exchanges and are fair valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange, and to the extent valuation adjustments are not applied to futures contracts, they are categorized as Level 1. To the extent that valuation adjustments are observable and timely, the fair values of futures contracts would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are fair valued using pricing models that are based on real-time intraday snap shots of relevant interest rate curves that are built using the most actively traded securities for a given maturity. The pricing models also incorporate cash and money market rates. In addition, market data pertaining to interest rate swaps are monitored regularly to ensure that interest rates are properly depicting the current market rate. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of interest rate swaps would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Money market funds. Money market funds are open-ended mutual funds that invest in short-term debt securities. To the extent that these funds are valued based upon the reported NAV, they are categorized as 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-wanted 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 as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Options and Swaptions contracts. Exchange-listed options contracts are traded on securities exchanges and are fair valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange, and to the extent valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1. If valuation adjustments are applied and such adjustments are observable and timely, the fair values of exchange-listed options contracts would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3. Options and swaptions contracts traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are fair valued based on pricing models and incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money contracts based on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of OTC options and swaptions contracts would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Restricted securities. Restricted securities that are deemed to be both Rule 144A securities and illiquid, as well as restricted securities held in non-public entities, are categorized as Level 3 of the fair

value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore the inputs are unobservable. Any other restricted securities are valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities and may be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that the discount is considered to be insignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety; otherwise they may be categorized as Level 3.

Short-term investments. Short-term investments (commercial paper and repurchase agreements) are valued using market price quotations, and are reflected as 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 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 total return swaps would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as 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. Some government securities are actively traded and transparent in the marketplace. As such, they can be categorized as Level 1. Other government and agencies securities are quoted based on similar securities and yields, and therefore would be categorized as Level 2.

Certain securities held by the Funds are categorized as Level 3 investments. Their prices may be derived by utilizing unobservable prior transaction values or information from third party valuation services. The value of Level 3 investments could be significantly affected by changes in these unobservable inputs. As of September 30, 2025, Level 3 securities consist of certain asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, bank loans, warrants, preferred stocks, common stocks and corporate bonds.

The summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of September 30, 2025 in valuing the Funds’ investments is listed after the Schedule of Investments for each Fund.

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, a reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund had a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets. The following tables are a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value:

Counterparty Credit Risk:  

A derivative contract may suffer 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. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Fund. For OTC options purchased, each Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Funds do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Funds to perform, and not the counterparty.

With exchange-traded purchased options and 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, a Fund does 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, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund 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, each 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 the 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 currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty.

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold typically of $250,000 or $500,000 before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Fund, and additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Fund on the next business day. Typically, the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge or use the collateral they receive. 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. Each Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it 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 Accounting Standards update 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. Under this guidance the Funds disclose in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset such as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the Funds disclose collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements.

3. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

The Funds may enter into dollar roll transactions with financial institutions to take advantage of opportunities in the MBS 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 counterparties may potentially be unable to complete the transaction. There were no such transactions by the Funds for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

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.

The Funds may invest in securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (“FHLMC”). These are fixed-income securities that derive their value from or represent interests in a pool of mortgages or mortgage securities. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of a mortgage-backed security and could result in losses to the Funds. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage pools that include sub-prime mortgages. Sub-prime mortgages refer to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages.

3. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS (Continued)

 

Additionally, securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States and are supported by the right to the issuer to borrow from the Treasury.

On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency was appointed as conservator of FNMA and FHLMC. In addition, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has agreed to provide capital as needed to ensure FNMA and FHLMC continue to provide liquidity to the housing and mortgage markets.

The 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 the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), FHLMC, or FNMA. The issuer of a series of CMOs may elect to be treated for tax purposes as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit. 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.

The Funds may enter into to be announced (“TBA”) commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Funds’ other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described in Note 2 under “Security Valuation”.

The Funds may invest in Collateralized Bond Obligations (“CBOs”), Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and other Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”), which are debt instruments backed solely by a pool of other debt securities. The risks of an investment in a CBO, CLO or other CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CBO, CLO or other CDO in which a Fund invests. Some CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs have credit ratings, but are typically issued in various classes with various priorities. Normally, CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs are privately offered and sold (that is, not registered under the securities laws) and may be characterized by the Funds as illiquid securities, but an active dealer market may exist for CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs that qualify for Rule 144A transactions. In addition to the normal interest rate, default and other risks of fixed income securities, CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs carry additional risks, including the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default, the Funds may invest in CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs that are subordinate to other classes, there may be volatility in value, and the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

The Funds may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of

 

209


TCW Metropolitan West Funds

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

3. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS (Continued)

 

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). During the six months ended September 30, 2025, certain interest-only securities were held as part of the overall mortgage portfolio holdings. 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. Such securities will be considered liquid only if so determined in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board. The Funds also may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities that are privately issued. These securities will be considered illiquid for purposes of each Fund’s limit on illiquid securities.

The Funds may purchase participations in commercial loans, or may purchase assignments of such loans. Such indebtedness may be secured or unsecured. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan to a corporate borrower, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The Funds may participate in such syndications, or can buy part of a loan, becoming a part lender. When purchasing loan participations, a Fund assumes the credit risk associated with the corporate borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with an interposed bank or other financial intermediary. The participation interests in which a Fund intends to invest may not be rated by any nationally recognized rating service. Participations and assignments also involve special types of risk, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risk of being a lender. If a Fund purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower.

The Funds may also sell a debt or equity security short, that is, without owning it, and borrow the same security from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Adviser may use short sales when it believes a security is overvalued or as a partial hedge against a position in a related security of the same issuer held by a Fund. The High Yield Bond Fund, Investment Grade Credit Fund, Strategic Income Fund and Sustainable Securitized Fund may not make short sales of securities or maintain a short position if more than 33 1/3% of the Fund’s total assets (taken at current value) are held as collateral for such sales at any one time. The Low Duration Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, Ultra Short Bond Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund will not make total short sales exceeding 25% of the Fund’s total assets. If the value of the security sold short increases, a Fund would lose money because it would need to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at a higher price. The potential loss is unlimited. (If the short sale was intended as a hedge against another investment, the loss on the short sale may be fully or partially offset by gains in that other investment). At September 30, 2025, the Funds did not hold any short debt or equity.

A lender may request that the borrowed securities be returned on short notice; if that occurs at a time when other short sellers of the subject security are receiving similar requests, a “short squeeze” can occur. This means that the Funds might be compelled, at the most disadvantageous time, to replace borrowed securities previously sold short, with purchases on the open market at prices significantly greater than those at which the securities were sold short. Short selling also may produce higher than normal portfolio turnover and result in increased transaction costs to the Funds. The Funds also may make short sales “against-the-box”, in which the Funds sell short securities they own. The Funds will

3. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS (Continued)

 

incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales against-the-box, which result in a “constructive sale”, requiring the Fund to recognize any taxable gain from the transaction.

The Funds may invest in payment-in-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require a pro-rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the High Yield Bond Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Strategic Income Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, and the Unconstrained Bond Fund received in-kind payments with respect to PIK securities of $292,764, $51,104, $7,700, $2,533,552, and $323,674, respectively.

The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, the Funds purchase a security from a counterparty who agrees to repurchase the same security at a mutually agreed upon date and price. On a daily basis, the counterparty is required to maintain collateral subject to the agreement and in value no less than the agreed repurchase amount. The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book entry system or held in a segregated account by the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. In the event the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, the Funds could experience losses, delays and costs in liquidating the collateral.

Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”) permit 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 an MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, each Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by each Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, each Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect each Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. As of September 30, 2025, the Funds did not hold any repurchase agreements.

The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements, whereby a Fund sells securities concurrently with entering into an agreement to repurchase those securities at a later date at a fixed price. During the reverse repurchase agreement period, the Fund continues to receive principal and interest payments on those securities. Reverse repurchase agreements are speculative techniques involving leverage and are considered secured borrowings by the Fund for purposes of the percentage limitations applicable to borrowings in accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as a liability. Interest payments made are recorded as a component of interest expense. In periods of increased demand for the security, a Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result

3. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS (Continued)

 

in interest income to the Fund. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the risk that the market value of the security sold by a Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the security. A Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the manager or otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.

Reverse repurchase transactions and treasury roll transactions are entered into by a Fund under MRAs. With reverse repurchase transactions and treasury roll transactions, typically the Funds and the counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, a Fund receives or posts securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by a Fund upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, a Fund is considered an unsecured creditor with respect to excess collateral and, as such, the return of excess collateral may be delayed. As of September 30, 2025, the Funds did not hold any reverse repurchase agreements.

In the event the counterparty of securities under an MRA files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the proceeds from the agreement may be restricted while the counterparty, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce a Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.

Each Fund may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment transactions in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security, or in order to adjust the interest rate exposure of the 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 a 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 a 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 a Fund does not maintain liquid assets equal to the face amount of the contract. The Funds segregate assets (cash and/or securities) to cover the amounts outstanding related to these transactions.

Derivatives:

The Funds may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Funds and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Funds are subject to credit risk, equity price risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below:

Over the reporting period, the Funds engaged in interest rate futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, swap agreements and swaptions as a means of managing interest rate risk and yield curve positioning consistent with the Adviser’s current market perspectives. Additionally, credit

default swaps were held for the purposes of (1) hedging valuation risks specific to identified market segments, industries and credits and (2) efficiently gaining income-bearing exposures to selected market segments, industries and credits. The market value of these instruments, realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses, and the types of contracts are included in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments and the Notes to Financial Statements.

Options — The Funds may purchase and write call and put options on securities, securities indices and on foreign currencies. A Fund may purchase put options on securities to seek to protect holdings in an underlying or related security against a substantial decline in market value. A Fund may purchase call options on securities to seek to protect against substantial increases in prices of securities the Fund intends to purchase pending its ability to invest in such securities in an orderly manner. The Fund pays a premium which is included as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. A Fund may write a call or put option only if the option is covered by the Fund holding a position in the underlying securities or by other means which would permit immediate satisfaction of the Fund’s obligation as writer of the option. When the Fund writes a call or put, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written.

These liabilities are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain (loss). The purchase and writing of options involves certain risks. During the option period, the covered call writer has, in return for the premium on the option, given up the opportunity to profit from a price increase in the underlying securities above the sum of the premium and exercise price, but as long as its obligation as a writer continues, has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying securities decline. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying securities at the exercise price. If a put or call option purchased by the Fund is not sold when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying security, in the case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the exercise price or, in the case of a call, remains less than or equal to the exercise price, the Fund will lose its entire investment in the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position. Furthermore, if trading restrictions or suspensions are imposed on the options markets, a Fund may be unable to close out a position.

The Funds may execute transactions in both listed and over-the-counter options. Listed options involve minimal counterparty risk since listed options are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade. Transactions in certain over-the-counter options may expose the Funds to the risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction. In the event of default by the counterparty to the over-the-counter option transaction, a Fund’s maximum amount of loss is the premium paid (as purchaser) or the unrealized loss of the contract (as writer). As of September 30, 2025, the Funds did not hold any options.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

3. PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS (Continued)

 

Futures — The Funds purchased or sold exchange-traded futures contracts, which are contracts that obligate the Funds to make or take delivery of a financial instrument or the cash value of a security index at a specified future date at a specified price. The Funds may use futures contracts to manage exposure to the stock and bond markets or changes in interest rates and currency values, or for gaining exposure to markets. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market at the time the Adviser to the Fund may be attempting to sell some or all of the Fund holdings or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund, generally on a daily basis. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Futures transactions involve minimal counterparty risk since futures contracts are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade.

Foreign Currency — The Funds may hold foreign currency as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds entered into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by a Fund, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by a Fund are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that a counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.

Swaps — The Funds invested in swap agreements. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than a year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, such as the return on, or increase in value of, a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a basket of securities representing a particular index. A swap contract may not be assigned without the consent of the counterparty (and in certain circumstances may not be assignable), and may result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the counterparty.

The Funds entered into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular

issuer’s default. The buyer in a credit default contract is obligated to pay the seller a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided no event of default has occurred. In the event of default, the seller must pay the buyer the par value (full notional value) of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. The Funds may be either the buyer or seller in such transactions. If a Fund is a buyer and no event of default occurs, the Fund loses its investment and recovers nothing. However, if an event of default occurs, the buyer receives full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller of a credit default swap, the Fund receives a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the contract, provided there is no default event. If an event of default occurs, the seller may pay the notional value of the reference obligation. The value of the reference obligation received by the seller, coupled with the periodic payments previously received may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the Fund. Credit default swaps involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. In addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

The aggregate fair value of credit default swaps in a net liability position is reflected as unrealized depreciation. The collateral posted for swap contracts, net of assets received as collateral, is also disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a portfolio as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement is an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts are partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities. As of September 30, 2025, the Funds did not hold any credit default swaps.

The Funds entered into interest rate swap agreements. 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 Funds’ maximum risk of loss due to counterparty default is the discounted NAV of the cash flows paid to/received from the counterparty over the interest rate swap’s remaining life. The Funds enter into interest rate swaps to manage duration, the yield curve, or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed-rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk).

The Funds may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions. Swaption contracts written by the Funds represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a new swap agreement, or to shorten, extend, cancel or modify an existing swap agreement, on a future date on specified terms. Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than it will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when a Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the option the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement. At September 30, 2025, the Investment Grade Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and Ultra Short Bond Fund held swaptions.

The Funds may enter into total return swap agreements. Total return swap is the generic name for any non-traditional swap where one party agrees to pay the other the “total return” of a defined underlying asset. The total return swap may be applied to any underlying asset but is most commonly used with equity indices, single stocks, bonds and defined portfolios of loans and mortgages. The total return swap is a mechanism for the user to accept the economic benefits of asset ownership without utilizing the balance sheet. The other leg of the swap is spread to reflect the non-balance sheet nature of the product. Total return swaps can be designed with any underlying asset agreed between two parties.

As a result, unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the value of the swaps, including periodic amounts of interest paid or received on swaps, is reported as unrealized gains or losses in both the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or termination of swap agreements. Swap agreements are stated at fair value. Notional principal amounts are used upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or termination of swap agreements to express the extent of involvement in these transactions, but the amounts subject to credit risk are much smaller. At September 30, 2025, outstanding swap agreements, if any, are shown in the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Swap transactions present risk of loss in excess of the related amounts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

4. RISK CONSIDERATIONS

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.

Market Risk: Because the values of 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 mortgaged-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

4. RISK CONSIDERATIONS (Continued)

 

an unanticipated rate of prepayment on underlying mortgages increases 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 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 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. 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 of the 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 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 (pass-through, 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.

The mortgage industry lacks a single bright-line as to what separates a subprime loan from an Alt-A loan. Often it is a combination of loan characteristics involving both borrower criteria as well as collateral criteria that determine which category a loan is placed in. However, in order to be both conservative and objective as possible, the Adviser applied the following criteria to the Funds’ residential mortgage and asset-backed holdings in coming up with its categorizations:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

4. RISK CONSIDERATIONS (Continued)

 

Sub Prime — Any asset-backed bond whose collateral was residential mortgages which were considered to be subprime, provided that the loans did not belong to the classification of manufactured housing loans.

Alt-A — Any mortgage-backed security whose average borrower FICO score was less than 730 and/or was listed as an Alt-A pool by Bloomberg were considered to be Alt-A bonds.

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 extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated by their fair value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

U.S. Trade Policy Risk: There have been significant changes to United States trade policies, agreements and tariffs, and in the future there may be additional significant changes. These and any future developments, and continued uncertainty surrounding trade policies, agreements and tariffs, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, inflation and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United states. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict the access by issuers of the Fund’s portfolio securities to suppliers or customers, increase their supply-chain costs and expenses and could have material adverse effects on the Fund’s portfolio investments.

Bank Loan Risk: There is a risk of investing in corporate loans made by commercial banks and other financial institutions or institutional investors to companies that need capital to grow or restructure, which includes interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk. The Fund may also be subject to the credit risk of other financial institutions and the risks associated with insufficient collateral securing a bank loan, limited available public information about a bank loan, delayed settlement, and less protection for holders of bank loans as compared to holders of registered securities. Bank loans are not registered and otherwise may not be treated as securities under the federal securities laws, meaning investors in loans have less protection against improper practices than investors in securities that are registered under or are otherwise subject to the protections of the securities laws.

7. INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

As compensation for advisory services, the Adviser charges the High Yield Bond Fund, the Investment Grade Credit Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Strategic Income Fund, the Sustainable Securitized Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, the Ultra Short Bond Fund and the Unconstrained Bond Fund a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50%, 0.35%, 0.30%, 0.65%, 0.40%, 0.35%, 0.25% and 0.65%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has agreed in an operating expenses agreement with the Trust to limit each Fund’s expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, short sales dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, and any expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) as described in the table below. The operating expenses agreement has a one-year term, renewable at the end of each fiscal year. Each Fund has agreed to reimburse the Adviser, for a period of up to three years, for any such payments to the extent that the Fund’s operating expenses are otherwise below its expense cap at both the time of the waiver and the recoupment. The Adviser’s obligation will not be recorded as a liability on the books of the applicable Fund to the extent that the total operating expenses of the Fund are at or above the expense cap. However, if the total operating expenses of a Fund fall below the expense cap, the reimbursement to the Adviser (up to the cap) will be accrued by the Fund as a liability if the Adviser seeks to recoup those amounts and the independent trustees have approved that reimbursement. The Adviser may not request or receive reimbursement from a Fund for prior reductions or reimbursements before the payment of a Fund’s operating expenses for the year.

Trustees’ Fees:  Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are also officers and Trustees of the Adviser. Such officers and Trustees serve without direct compensation from the Funds. Each of the independent Trustees receives an annual retainer of $137,500 and $6,500 for each meeting of the Board attended in person and $1,000 for each meeting attended telephonically. The chairman of the Board receives an annual retainer of $51,000 and the vice chairman of the Board receives an additional annual retainer of $34,000. The respective chairman of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee each receives an additional annual retainer of $8,500. The Trust has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for certain eligible Trustees. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows Trustees to defer some or all of their annual trustees’ fees otherwise payable by the Trust for a minimum of three years. The fees deferred are posted to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Trust. The various series of the Trust will use the returns on those Funds selected by the Trustee to determine the income, gains and losses to allocate to the account. At the time for commencing distributions from a Trustee’s deferral account, which is no later than when the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board, deferred fees will be

paid out in a single sum in cash or a maximum of 10 annual installments. The expenses related to the annual retainer, meeting fees, and/or any fluctuation in the selected Funds under the Deferred Compensation Plan are recorded in Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.

8. SHARE MARKETING (12b-1) PLAN AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN

The Trust has a Share Marketing Plan (or the “12b-1 Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act with respect to Class M shares of the High Yield Bond Fund, the Investment Grade Credit Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Strategic Income Fund, the Sustainable Securitized Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, the Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Unconstrained Bond Fund, and the Administrative Class shares of the Low Duration Bond Fund and Total Return Bond Fund. Under the 12b-1 Plan, the Trust pays TCW Funds Distributors, Inc., as the Trust’s distribution coordinator, an annual fee up to 0.25% of the particular Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class M shares and Administrative Class shares to reimburse expenses in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares of the respective Fund. The Adviser has undertaken to limit the Rule 12b-1 expenses to 0.16% for the Ultra Short Bond Fund, 0.19% for the Low Duration Bond Fund, and 0.21% for the Total Return Bond Fund, for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan that allows each Fund to pay to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries a fee for shareholder services provided to Fund shareholders who invest in the Administrative Class shares of a Fund through the intermediary. The fee is payable under the Shareholder Servicing Plan at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the particular Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Administrative Share class, but the Adviser has undertaken to limit these expenses for the current fiscal year to 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets invested through the intermediary.

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts which provide a variety of representations and warranties, and that provide general indemnifications. Such contracts include those with certain service providers, brokers and trading counterparties. Any exposure to the Trust under these arrangements is unknown as it would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust; however, based on the Trust’s experience, the risk of loss is remote and no such claims are expected to occur. As such, the Trust has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

11. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that have legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities may be sold privately, but are required to be registered before being sold to the public (exemption rules apply). Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Trust considers 144A securities to be restricted if those securities have been deemed illiquid. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Restricted securities held by the Funds at September 30, 2025 are listed below:

12. AFFILIATE OWNERSHIP

As of September 30, 2025, affiliates of the Funds and Advisor owned 9.99% and 27.31% of the net assets of the Investment Grade Credit Fund and Sustainable Securitized Fund, respectively.

13. COMMITTED LINE OF CREDIT

The Funds, together with the TCW Funds, Inc. and TCW ETF Trust, have entered into a $250,000,000 committed revolving line of credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”) for temporary borrowing purposes, with an expiration date of December 18, 2025. The interest rate on borrowing is the higher of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.10%, plus 1.25% or the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 0.10%, plus 1.25%. There were no borrowings from the line of credit as of or during the six months ended September 30, 2025. The Funds pay the Bank a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on any unused portion of the committed line amount. The commitment fees incurred by the Funds are presented in the Statements of Operations. The commitment fees are allocated to each applicable Fund in proportion to its relative average daily net assets and the interest expenses are charged directly to the applicable Fund.

14. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve further claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

15. SEGMENT REPORTING

In the reporting period, the Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds’ financial position or the results of their operations. The Funds represent a single operating segment as the operating results of the Funds are monitored as a whole and their long-term asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable prospectus, based on defined investment objectives that is executed by the Funds’ portfolio management team. A senior executive team comprised of the Funds’ Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, serves as the Funds’ chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who act in accordance with Board reviews and approvals. The CODM uses financial information, such as changes in net assets from operations, changes in net assets from fund share transactions, and income and expense ratios, consistent with that presented within the accompanying financial statements and financial highlights to assess the Funds’ profits and losses and to make resource allocation decisions. Segment assets are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Net Assets, which consists primarily of investment securities, at value, and significant segment expenses are listed in the accompanying statement of operations.

TCW Metropolitan West Funds

Approval of Investment Management Agreement by Trustees (Unaudited)

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that both the full Board of Trustees and a majority of non-interested (“Independent”) Trustees, voting separately, annually approve the continuation of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement (each, an “Agreement”) with Metropolitan West Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”). The Trustees consider matters bearing on the Funds and their advisory agreements throughout the year, including a review of performance data at each regular meeting. In addition, at an in-person meeting on September 15, 2025, the Board approved the renewal of the Agreement for an additional one-year term from February 6, 2026 through February 5, 2027 with respect to each Fund. The renewal of the Agreement was approved by the Board (including by a majority of the Independent Trustees) upon the recommendation of the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees also met by videoconference in a working session on August 21, 2025 to hear presentations by representatives of the Adviser, to ask related questions, to review and discuss materials provided by the Adviser for their consideration, and to meet separately with their independent legal counsel. On September 15, 2025, they also met separately with their independent legal counsel to review and discuss the materials that had been requested on their behalf by their independent legal counsel and presented by the Adviser. The information, material facts, and conclusions that formed the basis for the Independent Trustees’ recommendation and the Board’s subsequent approval are described below.

1. Information received

Materials reviewed—During the course of each year, the Trustees receive a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by the Adviser, including reports on the Adviser’s investment processes, as well as on each Fund’s investment results, portfolio composition, portfolio trading practices, compliance monitoring, shareholder services, and other information relating to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds. In addition, the Board reviewed information furnished to the Independent Trustees in response to a detailed request sent to the Adviser on their behalf. The information in the Adviser’s responses included extensive materials regarding each Fund’s investment results, advisory fee comparisons to advisory fees charged by the Adviser to its institutional clients, financial and profitability information regarding the Adviser, descriptions of various services provided to the Funds and to other advisory and sub-advisory clients, descriptions of functions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and information about the personnel providing investment management services to each Fund. The Trustees also considered information provided by an independent data provider, Broadridge, comparing the investment performance and the fee and expense levels of each Fund to peer groups of mutual funds selected by Broadridge. After reviewing this information, the Trustees requested additional information from the Adviser, which the Adviser provided and the Trustees considered.

Review process—The Trustees’ determinations were made on the basis of each Trustee’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the renewal process and received and reviewed advice from their independent legal counsel regarding legal and industry standards applicable to the renewal of the Agreement, including a legal memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing their fiduciary duties related to their approval of the continuation of the Agreement. The Independent Trustees also discussed the renewal of the Agreement with the Adviser’s representatives and in private sessions at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreement with respect to each Fund, the

 

256


TCW Metropolitan West Funds

 

 

Independent Trustees did not identify any single piece of information or particular factor that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. It is also important to recognize that the fee arrangements for each Fund are the result of years of review and discussion between the Independent Trustees and the Board, that certain aspects of such arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these same arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and Independent Trustees.

2. Nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Adviser

The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the depth and quality of the Adviser’s investment management process, including its research and strong analytical capabilities; the experience, capability, and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the advance planning and transition arrangements put in place with respect to the changes in key portfolio management and other personnel; the overall resources available to the Adviser in managing the Funds’ assets; and the ability of their organizational structure to address the fluctuations in assets that have been experienced over the past several years. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s continued commitment and ability to attract and retain well-qualified investment professionals, noting in particular the Adviser’s hiring of professionals in various areas over the past several years, continued upgrading of resources in its middle office and back office operations and other areas, as well as a continuing and extensive program of infrastructure and systems enhancements, including business continuity, cybersecurity, and the modernization of the technology ecosystem with the implementation of Aladdin, as well as investments in sales and marketing to increase brand awareness, updates to information security defenses, and budgeting for certain future initiatives. The Board and the Independent Trustees noted the significant role played by the Adviser, as valuation designee, with respect to the valuation of portfolio securities, including research and analysis related to fair valued securities and due diligence and oversight of pricing vendors. The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered that the Adviser made available to its investment professionals a variety of resources and systems relating to investment management, compliance, trading, operations, administration, research, portfolio accounting and legal matters. They noted the substantial additional resources made available by The TCW Group, Inc., the parent company of the Adviser (“TCW”). The Board and the Independent Trustees examined and discussed a detailed description of the extensive additional services provided to the Funds to support their operations and compliance, as compared to the much narrower range of services provided to the Adviser’s institutional and sub-advised clients, as well as the Adviser’s oversight and coordination of numerous outside service providers to the Funds. They further noted the high level of regular communication between the Adviser and the Independent Trustees. The Adviser explained its responsibility to supervise the activities of the Funds’ various service providers, as well as supporting the Independent Trustees and their meetings, regulatory filings, and various operational personnel, and the related costs.

The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser are of a high quality and have benefited and should continue to benefit the Funds and their shareholders.

3. Investment results

The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the investment results of each Fund in light of its investment objective(s) and principal investment strategies. They compared each Fund’s total returns with the total returns of other mutual funds in peer group reports prepared by Broadridge with respect to various longer and more recent periods all ended May 31, 2025. The Board and the Independent Trustees reviewed information as to peer group selections presented by Broadridge and discussed the methodology for those selections with Broadridge. In reviewing each Fund’s relative performance, the Board and the Independent Trustees took into account each Fund’s investment strategies, distinct characteristics, asset size and diversification.

The Board and the Independent Trustees reviewed each Fund’s performance over the relevant periods, particularly over longer periods, which the Board and the Independent Trustees believe are generally the most relevant. The Board and the Independent Trustees indicated their belief that the performance of each Fund for periods where the Fund lagged its respective peer group average remained satisfactory when assessed on a risk-adjusted basis, in part because performance quintiles do not necessarily reflect the amount of risk employed by peer funds to achieve their returns. The Board and the Independent Trustees recognized the Adviser’s deliberate strategy to manage risk in light of its critical view of the fixed-income securities markets and evolving overall investment market conditions at present and in the near term. For that reason, the Board and the Independent Trustees believed that relative performance also should be considered in light of future market conditions expected by the Adviser and positioning of the Funds’ portfolios in light of those expectations. The Board and the Independent Trustees noted the Adviser’s view that longer-term performance can be more meaningful for active fixed income funds such as the Funds because market cycles in fixed income are generally longer than three years. The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered data showing that the Funds generally experienced less volatility for many periods compared to other funds in the applicable peer groups.

For the TCW MetWest Total Return Bond Fund, the Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the fourth (Class I)/fourth (Class M) quintile for the ten-year period, the fifth (Class I)/fifth (Class M) quintile for the five-year period, the fourth (Class I)/fifth (Class M) quintile for the three-year period and the second (Class I)/third (Class M) quintile for the one-year period. The Board and the Independent Trustees took into account the Adviser’s discussions of the relative underperformance of the Fund for certain periods, including that the Fund’s increased duration and exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities and higher volatility contributed to its underperformance, and noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark by 0.76% (Class I) and 0.68% (Class M), annualized, for the since inception period ended May 31, 2025.

For the TCW MetWest Unconstrained Bond Fund, the Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the third quintile for the ten- and five-year periods, the second quintile for the three-year period, and the first quintile for the one-year period.

For the TCW MetWest Low Duration Bond Fund, the Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the fourth quintile for the ten-, five- and three-year periods and the

 

258


TCW Metropolitan West Funds

 

first quintile for the one-year period. The Board and the Independent Trustees took into account the Adviser’s discussions of the relative underperformance of the Fund for certain periods, including that the Fund’s increased defensive positioning contributed to its underperformance, and noted that, despite its underperformance relative to its peers, the Fund outperformed the benchmark for each of the ten-, five-, three- and one-year periods ended May 31, 2025.

For the TCW MetWest High Yield Bond Fund, the Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for the ten-year period, the fifth quintile for the five-year period, and the fourth quintile for the three- and one-year periods. The Board and the Independent Trustees took into account the Adviser’s discussions of the relative underperformance of the Fund for certain periods, including that the Fund’s defensive positioning contributed to its underperformance.

For the TCW MetWest Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the fourth quintile for the ten-year period, the third quintile for the five- and three-year periods, and the second quintile for the one-year period.

For the TCW MetWest Strategic Income Fund, the Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for the ten-year period and the first quintile for the five-, three- and one-year periods. The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered the limitations of using the absolute return funds peer group for this Fund because of the significant differences in the strategies used by those funds.

For the TCW MetWest Sustainable Securitized Fund, the Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for the one-year period and the period since the Fund’s inception on September 30, 2021, and the second quintile for the three-year period.

For the TCW MetWest Investment Grade Credit Fund, the Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for the five-, three- and one-year and since inception periods ended May 31, 2025.

The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser was implementing each Fund’s investment objective(s) and that the Adviser’s record in managing the Funds indicated that its continued management should benefit each Fund and its shareholders over the long term.

4. Advisory fees and total expenses

The Board and the Independent Trustees compared the management fees (which Broadridge defines to include advisory fees and administrative fees) and net total expenses of each Fund (each as a percentage of average net assets) with the median management fee and operating expense levels of the other mutual funds in the relevant Broadridge peer groups. These comparisons assisted the Board and the Independent Trustees by providing a reasonable statistical measure to assess each Fund’s fees relative to its relevant peers. The Board and the Independent Trustees observed that each Fund’s management fee, after giving effect to applicable reimbursements, was below or near the median of the peer group funds on a current basis, with the exception of the TCW MetWest Total Return Bond Fund (Class I), TCW MetWest Unconstrained Bond Fund and TCW MetWest Low Duration Bond Fund, whose management fees were approximately 4, 9, and 3 basis points above the median, respectively. With respect to the TCW MetWest Total Return Bond Fund (Class I), the Board noted that the Fund’s net total operating expenses were below the median. With respect to the TCW

 

259


TCW Metropolitan West Funds

Approval of Investment Management Agreement by Trustees (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

MetWest Unconstrained Bond Fund, the Board noted that the Fund’s net total operating expenses were approximately 2 basis points above median, which the Board did not consider to be unreasonable.

In considering the Funds’ net total operating expenses, the Board and the Independent Trustees observed that each Fund’s net total expenses were below or near the median of the peer group funds on a current basis, with the exception of the TCW MetWest Unconstrained Bond Fund, TCW MetWest Low Duration Bond Fund and TCW MetWest Strategic Income Fund, for which net total expenses were approximately 2, 5 and 12 basis points above the median, respectively. The Board considered that the change from a performance-based fee structure to a flat-rate asset-based fee structure for the TCW MetWest Strategic Income Fund, which was proposed by the Adviser and approved by shareholders effective February 1, 2022, had resulted in a narrower dispersion from the median as compared to the dispersion before that change. The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered the contractual expense limitations to which the Adviser has agreed with respect to each Fund and that the Adviser historically has absorbed any expenses in excess of these limits. They noted that although the Adviser may recoup, and has recouped in the past, certain fees and/or expenses previously waived or reimbursed for certain Funds, such recoupment is permitted only if it does not cause the applicable Fund’s annual expense ratio to exceed the lesser of (i) the expense limitation applicable at the time of that fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement or (ii) the expense limitation in effect at the time of recoupment. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the competitive fees charged by the Adviser, and competitive expense ratios, should continue to benefit each Fund and its shareholders.

The Board and the Independent Trustees also reviewed information regarding the advisory fees charged by the Adviser to its institutional and sub-advisory clients with similar investment mandates. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that, although the fees paid by those clients generally were lower than advisory fees paid by the Funds, the differences appropriately reflected the more extensive services provided by the Adviser to the Funds and the Adviser’s significantly greater responsibilities and expenses with respect to the Funds, including the additional time spent by portfolio managers for reasons such as managing the more active cash flows from purchases and redemptions by shareholders, the additional risks of managing a pool of assets for public investors, administrative burdens, daily pricing, valuation and liquidity responsibilities, the supervision of vendors and service providers, and the costs of additional infrastructure and operational resources and personnel and of complying with and supporting the more comprehensive regulatory and governance regime applicable to mutual funds.

5. The Adviser’s costs, level of profits, and economies of scale

The Board and the Independent Trustees reviewed information regarding the Adviser’s costs of providing services to the Funds, as well as the resulting level of profits to the Adviser. They reviewed the Adviser’s stated assumptions and methods of allocating certain costs, such as personnel compensation costs, which constitute the Adviser’s largest operating cost. The Board and the Independent Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that it provides to each Fund. The Board and the Independent Trustees also reviewed a comparison of the Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Funds to the profitability of certain unaffiliated publicly traded asset managers, which the Adviser believed supported its view

 

260


TCW Metropolitan West Funds

 

 

that the Adviser’s profitability was reasonable. Based on their review, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not unreasonable or excessive.

The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the extent to which potential economies of scale could be realized as the Funds grow and whether the advisory fees reflect those potential economies of scale. They recognized that the advisory fees for the Funds do not have breakpoints, which would otherwise result in lower advisory fee rates as the Funds grow larger. They also recognized the Adviser’s view that the advisory fees compare favorably to peer group fees and expenses and remain competitive even at higher asset levels and that the relatively low advisory fees reflect the potential economies of scale. The Board and the Independent Trustees recognized the benefits of the Adviser’s substantial past and on-going investment in the advisory business, such as successfully recruiting and retaining key professional talent, systems and technology upgrades, added resources dedicated to legal, compliance, risk management and cybersecurity programs, and improvements to the overall firm infrastructure, as well as the financial pressures of competing against much larger firms and passive investment products. The Board and the Independent Trustees further noted the Adviser’s past and current subsidies of the operating expenses of newer and smaller Funds and the Adviser’s commitment to maintain reasonable overall operating expenses for each Fund. The Board and the Independent Trustees also recognized that the Funds benefit from receiving investment advice from an organization with other types of advisory clients in addition to mutual funds. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the risk borne by the Adviser that the Funds’ net assets and thus that the Adviser’s fees might decline and that smaller Funds might not grow to become profitable. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser was appropriately sharing potential economies of scale with the Funds through low fees and expenses, and through reinvesting in its capabilities for serving the Funds and their shareholders.

6. Ancillary benefits

The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered other actual and potential financial benefits to the Adviser or its affiliates. In particular, they noted that the Adviser does not have any affiliates that materially benefit from the Adviser’s relationship to the Funds except through TCW’s ownership of the Adviser. They noted that the principal underwriter for the Funds’ shares is affiliated with the Adviser but does not derive a profit from that role. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that any potential benefits received or to be derived by the Adviser from its relationships with the Funds are reasonably related to the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds.

7. Conclusions

Based on their overall review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above (and others), the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Agreement is fair and reasonable to each Fund and its shareholders, that each Fund’s shareholders received reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Adviser by each Fund, and that the renewal of the Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
