The investment objective is to seek to outperform the broad bond market by applying specialized management expertise to and allocating capital among U.S. government, corporate, and mortgage-backed sectors.
TCW Core Fixed Income exploits sector allocation as a key approach to risk management, blending top-down sector allocation with bottom-up fundamental research and securities selection by the sector specialists. This approach distinguishes the strategy from investment funds that rely on high-beta, indexing or closet-indexing strategies. The strategy allocates across these sectors: U.S. Governments, Investment-Grade Corporate, Mortgage-Backed, and Asset-Backed. This ability to allocate beyond the universe of domestic U.S. debt issuance has helped to limit risk and fuel higher risk-adjusted returns.
