About TGCFX

The TCW Core Fixed Income Fund I is an actively managed mutual fund classified within the intermediate core bond category. Its primary objective is to maximize current income and generate an above-average total return over a full market cycle, balancing this goal with prudent risk management. The fund typically invests in a diversified portfolio of U.S. government, agency, corporate, and mortgage-backed securities, as well as U.S. dollar-denominated foreign bonds. With assets under management typically ranging between $600 million and $1 billion, the fund is moderately sized compared to peers in its category. Its portfolio often features a significant allocation to U.S. Treasury securities and agency-backed mortgage instruments, lending it a relatively high credit quality and moderate interest rate sensitivity. The fund’s effective duration and average maturity are positioned to track broad U.S. bond markets while seeking enhanced returns through active sector rotation and security selection. The TCW Core Fixed Income Fund I distributes dividends monthly, complemented by annual capital gains distributions, providing regular income to shareholders. It maintains a competitive expense ratio and has historically achieved yields that exceed the average for similar bond funds, making it a notable option for investors focused on stable fixed income within diversified portfolios.
