About MWLIX

TCW MetWest Low Duration Bond Fund Class I is an institutional share class of a short‑term bond mutual fund focused on preserving capital while generating income from a diversified portfolio of high‑quality fixed income securities. The strategy emphasizes **low interest rate sensitivity**, typically targeting a short effective duration, and invests primarily in bonds, including U.S. Treasuries, agency mortgage‑backed securities, and select investment‑grade corporates to balance liquidity and credit exposure. Managed by TCW’s MetWest team, the fund maintains broad **sector diversification** and a flexible allocation approach to navigate shifting rate and credit cycles. It distributes income monthly and is structured for investors seeking **enhanced income** over cash with muted price volatility relative to longer‑duration bond funds. With a longstanding track record and institutional framework, the fund plays a role as a **core short‑duration allocation** in fixed income portfolios, serving as a parking place for capital, a ballast during interest rate transitions, and a complement to intermediate and long‑duration exposures. It is designed for capital efficiency through prudent credit selection and active duration management.
