INVESTMENT RISKS
TCW Core Plus Bond Fund ETF (FIXT) is subject to the following risks: High yield securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. It is important to note that the Fund is not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Fixed income investments entail interest rate risk, the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk, and price volatility risk. Funds investing in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise and an investor can lose principal. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities often involve risks that are different from or more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. MBS related to floating rate loans may exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation of similar credit quality. With respect to non-agency MBS, there are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in pools created by non-governmental issuers. Non-agency MBS are also not subject to the same underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee. The Fund's investments denominated in foreign currencies will decline in value if the foreign currency declines in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Fund share prices and returns will fluctuate with market conditions, currencies, and the economic and political climates where the investments are made. The securities markets of emerging market countries can be extremely volatile. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities often involve risks that are different from or more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. All investing involves risk including the potential loss of principal. Market volatility may significantly impact the value of your investments. Recent tariff announcements may add to this volatility, creating additional economic uncertainty and potentially affecting the value of certain investments. Tariffs can impact various sectors differently, leading to changes in market dynamics and investment performance. Please see the Fund's Prospectus for more information on these and other risks.
The Fund is advised by TCW Investment Management Company LLC. Distributed by Foreside Financial Services, LLC.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to 6 classes of mortgage-backed notes from GS Mortgage-Backed Securities Trust 2025-HE1 (GSMBS 2025-HE1), a $282.0 million RMBS transaction sponsored by Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company. GSMBS 2025-HE1 consists of first lien (7.1%) and second lien (92.9%) home equity line of credit (HELOC) loans. The underlying pool is seasoned approximately seven months and comprises 2,904 loans, with United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC (54.5%) as the largest contributing originator.

Most loans feature 10-year or 20-year amortization terms after the IO period. IO periods range from 3 to 10 years and loan maturity terms range from 10 to 30 years.

KBRA Assigns AA Rating, Stable Outlook to the City of Jacksonville, FL Special Revenue Bonds, Series 2025
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns a long-term rating of AA to the City of Jacksonville, FL Special Revenue Bonds, Series 2025. Concurrently, the long-term rating of AA on the City's outstanding Special Revenue Bonds is affirmed. The long-term rating of AA is also affirmed on the City's Special Revenue (BJP) Bonds, which are payable from Covenant Revenues and further payable from Infrastructure Sales Tax revenues available after satisfaction of the debt service and reserve account funding requirements of the City's Better Jacksonville Bonds. The Outlook on all bonds is Stable. Key Credit Considerations The ratings reflect the following credit considerations: Credit Positives Covenant Revenues, in aggregate, have demonstrated stability over economic cycles, thus allowing for maintenance of anti-dilution test coverage of more than 4.3x MADS in each of the last five fiscal years. Debt ratios are very manageable, both on a per capita basis and as a percentage of the full market value of real property. Credit Challenges Although the City is addressing high fixed costs through previously enacted pension reform measures and careful adherence to its own debt affordability metrics, required pension contributions will likely exert continued budgetary pressure. Additional Special Revenue Bonds are planned to finance the debt funded component of planned general capital improvements totaling approximately $1.2 billion through FY 2029. Essential governmental services are statutorily prioritized over debt service on the Special Revenue Bonds. Rating Sensitivities For Upgrade Reduced pension funding requirements, sustained decline in pension costs and improved operating flexibility, as anticipated beginning in 2031 with the flow of Pension Liability Surtax revenues into the pension system. An improvement in wealth indicators, which trail State and national averages. For Downgrade An increase in operating expenditures, decline in General Revenues, or increase in Special Revenue Bond debt service that causes the ratio of Covenant Revenues to Special Revenue Bond debt service to approach the 2.0x MADS anti-dilution test threshold.
