LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwire) — 10/11/11 — The TCW Group (TCW), an international asset-management firm, invites you to participate in a conference call on Wednesday, October 12 with Diane Jaffee, portfolio manager of the TCW Dividend Focused Fund (TGDFX/TGIGX) and TCW Relative Value Large Cap Fund (TGDIX/TGDVX).
Ms. Jaffee, a group managing director of TCW, will start the call by addressing broad questions about the recent performance of U.S. equity markets and the economy and then discuss how the funds she manages are positioned for the current environment.
“Economic and market volatility is very common in financial crisis recessions,– says Ms. Jaffee, who manages over $1 billion in U.S. equity mutual fund assets. “This volatile recovery is typical as the U.S. has sustained a crisis in confidence, which entails periods of panic and irrational investment behavior with subsequent large enthusiastic upward gaps.”
Both the TCW Dividend Focused Fund and TCW Relative Value Large Cap search for value stocks poised for growth. The Dividend Focused Fund invests primarily in dividend paying stocks while the Relative Value Large Cap Fund focuses on companies with a fundamental catalyst or competitive advantage not yet reflected in their stock price.
Please dial in 10 minutes before the scheduled start time to register for the call.
