Basic Info

Investment Strategy
TCW’s Unconstrained Fixed Income strategy allocates investments across a range of global investment opportunities and actively manages exposure to interest rates, credit sectors and currencies. The team’s portfolio construction process applies independent, bottom-up research to identify undervalued securities that offer a superior risk/return profile. The strategy is “unconstrained” in that it is not limited to the securities of any particular index and may invest up to 50% in high yield securities, up to 50% in emerging markets, 40% in securities denominated in foreign currencies and up to 10% in preferred stock and 5% in common stock.
