About MWSTX

TCW MetWest Strategic Income Fund Class M is an actively managed mutual fund focused on multi‑sector fixed income. Its primary purpose is to maximize long‑term total return without tracking a specific market index, using a flexible mandate that spans global opportunities across credit, currencies, and interest rates. The strategy targets consistent absolute returns by exploiting market inefficiencies, emphasizing secured and asset‑backed debt relative to unsecured or subordinated obligations, and dynamically adjusting duration, yield‑curve positioning, and sector exposures. Portfolio construction may incorporate investment‑grade and high yield bonds, structured products, and derivatives where appropriate, enabling relative‑value, arbitrage, and tactical trading approaches to manage risk and enhance income. This fund plays a role as a diversified fixed‑income core‑plus complement, seeking low correlation to cyclical downturns while drawing on MetWest’s research to allocate across corporate credit, securitized assets, and sovereign or rates markets. Its design reflects an outcome‑oriented approach to fixed income, aiming to balance income generation with opportunistic total return across changing market regimes.
