Fund info

The TCW MetWest Total Return Bond Fund Class I is an institutional mutual fund specializing in U.S. fixed income investments. Its primary objective is to maximize long-term total return by investing at least 80% of assets in a diversified portfolio of bonds, including U.S. government, corporate, and mortgage-backed securities. The fund employs both top-down macroeconomic analysis and bottom-up security selection, allowing it to adapt across market cycles and seek attractive risk-adjusted performance. Portfolio management focuses on factors such as credit quality, sector allocation, coupon structure, and maturity, resulting in a portfolio with moderate interest rate sensitivity and credit risk. The fund typically maintains thousands of individual bond holdings for broad diversification, with a portfolio duration and maturity profile closely aligned with the intermediate core-plus bond category. Managed by an experienced team, this fund plays a significant role in many institutional and retirement portfolios by offering exposure to the U.S. bond market and aiming to deliver steady income and total return potential over time.
