LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/20/12 — The TCW Group (TCW), an international asset-management firm, invites you to participate in a conference call on Wednesday, March 21 with Steve Kane, portfolio manager of the MetWest Unconstrained Bond Fund (MWCIX/MWCRX) and TCW Global Bond Fund (TGGBX, TGGFX), and Blaise Antin, TCW-s head of sovereign research.
Kane will address opportunities in U.S. fixed income sectors including corporate and high yield bonds as well as mortgage-backed securities and how the funds are targeting these sectors while Antin will address the outlook for international fixed income markets with a particular focus on emerging markets debt.
“The non-government sectors in the U.S. are well through their deleveraging process and offer attractive risk/return given the still elevated level of yield spreads in these markets,” said Steve Kane. “Outside the U.S., emerging markets with better prospects for economic growth and better balance sheets represent better opportunities compared to developed markets in Europe and Japan.”

The Funds invest in below investment grade bonds and may be less liquid and subject to greater volatility. The Funds are subject to the same risks as the underlying bonds in the portfolio such as credit, prepayment, call and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise the value of bond prices will decline. The Funds may also invest in more aggressive investments such as foreign securities which may expose the Funds to currency and exchange rate fluctuations as well as derivatives. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Funds and reduce their returns.
