About MWTSX

TCW MetWest Total Return Bond Fund Class P is an intermediate core-plus bond mutual fund focused on maximizing long-term total return for institutional investors. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities, including U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and high-quality corporate bonds, with selective allocations to non-investment grade or high-yield debt when those sectors offer compelling value. Managed by a seasoned team, the fund employs a flexible, active strategy that emphasizes sector allocation, duration management, and rigorous security selection to navigate changing market environments and interest rate cycles. The fund is designed to serve as a core fixed income holding, aiming to provide income and capital appreciation while managing interest rate and credit risks through diversification and tactical adjustments. It is notable for its disciplined approach, larger effective duration compared to its benchmark, and a focus on both agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which can enhance performance during various phases of the credit cycle. With substantial total assets and a strong institutional presence, TCW MetWest Total Return Bond Fund Class P plays a significant role in the broader bond market by seeking to outperform the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and offering investors broad exposure to the U.S. fixed income universe.
