INTERNATIONAL AND GLOBAL FUNDS

To Our Valued Shareholders

We are pleased to submit the April 30, 2007 semi-annual reports for the TCW Funds, Inc. These reports contain detailed information outlining the performance of our various funds and a listing of the portfolio securities as of April 30, 2007.

The Fund Family has added several new funds which use a multi-strategy approach to aid you in attaining your investment objectives. The TCW Balanced Fund is a traditional balanced strategy utilizing equity and fixed income securities and it is managed by two of our award winning portfolio managers, Diane Jaffee and Jeffrey Gundlach. Our TCW LifePlan Funds feature four asset allocation strategies with investment risk profiles ranging from conservative to globally aggressive. Good asset allocation is about making your life easier and ensuring that your assets grow over time. The TCW LifePlan Funds have been specifically designed with an eye toward simplicity. Now you can gain ownership in some of TCW's best mutual funds through one simple investment.

In January of this year, Morningstar honored the TCW Total Return Bond Fund and its portfolio management team, led by Jeffrey Gundlach, with its 2006 Fixed Income Manager of the Year Award. We are quite proud of this achievement and applaud Jeffrey and his team for their outstanding effort in managing the fund.

The TCW Funds, Inc. continues to provide our shareholders with innovative investment strategies featuring competitive expense ratios. On behalf of the Board and everyone at TCW, I would like to thank you for your continued support. As always, we look forward to assisting you in reaching your financial goals. If you have any questions or require any further information on the TCW Funds, Inc., I invite you to visit our web site at www.tcwfunds.com or call our shareholder services department at 1-800-FUND-TCW (1-800-386-3829).

If the limited partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, the limited partnership's performance may have been lower.

Each Fund has distinct investment objectives. The following are the objectives for the 4 International Funds that are covered in this report:

TCW Fund   Investment Objective

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)  

 

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

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

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

Net Asset Value: The Net Asset Value of each Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Fund on each business day as of 1:00 p.m. Pacific Standard/Daylight Time.

Security Valuations: Securities listed or traded on the New York, American or other stock exchanges are valued at the latest sale price on that exchange (if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the latest bid price). All other securities for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the latest bid price.

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

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

Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost. Other short-term debt securities are valued on a marked-to-market basis until such time as they reach a remaining maturity of 60 days, whereupon are valued at amortized value using their value of the 61st day prior to maturity.

Redemption Fees: The International Funds impose a short-term redemption fee on shares owned less than 90 days equal to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed. Redemption fees are recorded by the Funds as additional paid-in capital. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, each of the TCW Asia Pacific Equities Fund, the TCW Emerging Markets Equities Fund, the TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund and the TCW Global Equities Fund received redemption fees that amounted to less than $1,000.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities using a constant yield to maturity method. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded on the basis of specific identification.

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


28



INTERNATIONAL AND GLOBAL FUNDS

TCW Funds, Inc.

  April 30, 2007  

 

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are considered 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.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. There were no forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at April 30, 2007.

Repurchase Agreements:   The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Government obligations and by other securities. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Funds' custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral is sufficient in the event of default; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreements, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. There were no repurchase agreements outstanding at April 30, 2007.

Security Lending: The Funds may lend their securities to qualified brokers. The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or other money market instruments or U.S. Government securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with any extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral if the borrowers of the securities fail financially. The Funds earn additional income for lending their securities by investing the cash collateral in short-term investments. See Note 3.

Options: Premiums received from call options written are recorded as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires unexercised, premiums received are realized as a gain at expiration date. If the position is closed prior to expiration, a gain or loss is realized based on premiums received, less the cost to close the option. When an option is exercised, premiums received are added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and a gain or loss is realized. Call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities and are included in the Schedule of Investments. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid.

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

Dividends and Distributions:  Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund declares and pays, or reinvests, dividends from net investment income monthly. All other Funds declare and pay, or reinvest, dividends from net

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

investment income annually. Distributions of any net long-term and net short-term capital gains earned by a Fund will be distributed at least annually.

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

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

Note 3 — Security Lending

The Funds listed below have outstanding securities on loan at April 30, 2007. The loans were collateralized with cash, which was invested in short-term instruments. Income from these investments, net of broker fees, is shown on the Statement of Operations (amounts in thousands).

Note 4 — Federal Income Taxes

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

Note 5 — Fund Expenses

The Funds pay to the Advisor, as compensation for services rendered, facilities furnished and expenses borne by it, the following annual management fees as a percentage of daily net asset value:

TCW Asia Pacific Equities Fund     1.00 %  
TCW Emerging Markets Equities Fund     1.00 %  
TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund     0.75 %  
TCW Global Equities Fund     0.75 %  

 

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

The operating expenses for I and N Classes are limited to the average of the total expense ratios for comparable funds as reported by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper Average") for each fund's respective investment objective, which is subject to change on a monthly basis. This expense limitation is voluntary and is terminable on a six months notice. At April 30, 2007, the average expense ratios reported by Lipper, Inc. as they relate to each Fund/class were as follows:

TCW Asia Pacific Equities Fund     1.72 %  
TCW Emerging Markets Equities Fund     1.85 %  
TCW Emerging Markets Income Fund     1.40 %  
TCW Global Equities Fund     1.57 %  

 

The amount borne by the Advisor when the operating expenses of a Fund are in excess of the Lipper Average cannot be recaptured in the subsequent fiscal years. The Advisor can recapture expenses only within a given fiscal year for that year's operating expenses.

Note 6 — Distribution Plan

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

Note 10 — Restricted Securities

The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. There were no restricted securities (excluding 144A and Reg. S issues) at April 30, 2007.

Note 11 — Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a fund's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax

position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying the various provisions of FIN 48 on the Funds' financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and will be implemented in the future financial reports.

TCW Funds, Inc.

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)   April 30, 2007  

 

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007.

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

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