Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)    September 30, 2018

Note 1 — Security Valuation

Securities traded on national exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not be the last reported sales price. Other securities, including short-term investments and forward currency contracts, which are traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are valued, at the mean of the current bid and asked prices as furnished by independent pricing services or by dealer quotations. Futures contracts are valued at the official settlement price of the exchange where they are traded.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which it is determined by TCW Investment Management Company LLC (the “Advisor”) that prices received are not reflective of their market values, are valued by the Advisor’s Pricing Committee in accordance with the guidelines established by the Board’s Valuation Committee and under the general oversight of the Board.

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

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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

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

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

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 is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.


Fair Value Measurements: Descriptions of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities on a recurring basis is as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2018 is listed after the Investments by Sector or Industry table.

The Fund did not have any transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the period ended September 30, 2018.

The valuation technique employed on the Level 3 securities involves the use of third-party broker quotes and vendor prices. The Advisor monitors the effectiveness of third-party brokers and vendor prices using the Advisor’s own model and inputs.

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


For the period ended September 30, 2018, the Fund had derivatives and transactions in derivatives, grouped in the following risk categories:

Amount disclosed represents average number of contracts which are representative of the volume traded for the period ended September 30, 2018.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Fund enters 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 unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a 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 are no foreign currency forward contracts as of September 30, 2018.

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

When the Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. During the period ended September 30, 2018, the Fund used S&P 500 Index futures to gain exposure to the equity market. The Fund also utilized treasury and other bond futures to help manage interest rate duration and credit market exposure. Futures contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2018 are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Fund may execute transactions in both listed and OTC markets. Listed options involve minimal counterparty risk since listed options are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade. Transactions in certain OTC options may expose the Fund to the risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction. In the event of default by the counterparty to the OTC option transaction, the Fund’s maximum amount of loss as purchaser is the premium paid plus any unrealized gain. During the period ended September 30, 2018, the Fund did not purchase or write any option contracts.


Mortgage-Backed Securities: The Fund 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 Fund may also invest in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by residential or commercial mortgage loans or residential or commercial mortgage pass-through securities. Interest and principal are generally paid monthly. CMOs may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or private mortgage pass-through securities but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. The issuer of a series of CMOs may elect to be treated for tax purposes as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit. 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 Fund may invest in stripped MBS. Stripped MBS are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal prepayments (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, the Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.

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

Prior to settlement of these transactions, the value of the subject securities will fluctuate. In addition, because the Fund is not required to pay for when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitment securities until the delivery date, they may result in a form of leverage. To guard against this deemed leverage, the Fund monitors the obligations under these transactions and ensures that the Fund has sufficient liquid assets to cover them.

Security Lending: The Fund may lend its securities to qualified brokers. The loans must be collateralized at all times primarily with cash although the Fund can accept money market instruments or U.S. government securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with any extensions of credit, the Fund 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 Fund earns additional income for lending its securities by investing the cash collateral in short-term investments. The Fund did not lend any securities during the period ended September 30, 2018.

Note 2 — Restricted Securities

The Fund is 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 Fund considers 144A securities to be restricted if those securities have been deemed illiquid by the Advisor. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Restricted securities outstanding at September 30, 2018 are listed below:
