2. Significant Accounting Policies

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of increase and decrease in net assets from operations during the fiscal period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. The Funds are investment companies and follow the investment company accounting standards and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services — Investment Companies”. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative guidance for SEC registrants. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Principles of Accounting: The Funds use the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes.

Net Asset Value: The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by dividing the net assets by the number of each Fund’s shares outstanding.

Securities Valuations: Securities listed or traded on the NYSE and other stock exchanges were valued at the latest sale price on the exchange. Securities traded on the NASDAQ stock market (“NASDAQ”) were valued during the period using official closing prices as reported by NASDAQ, which may not have been the last sale price. Investments in open-end mutual funds including money market funds were valued based on the NAV per share as reported by the investment companies. All other securities for which over-the-counter (“OTC”) market quotations were readily available, including short-term securities, swap agreements and forward currency exchange contracts, were valued with prices furnished by independent pricing services or by broker-dealers.

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”, and each member thereof, a “Trustee”) has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” with respect to the fair valuation of the Funds’ portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and periodic reporting to the Board. Fair valued securities are those for which market quotations were not readily available, including in circumstances under which it was determined by the Adviser that prices received were not reflective of their market values.

Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Funds disclose investments in their financial statements in a three-tier hierarchy. This hierarchy is utilized to establish classification of fair value measurements based on inputs. Inputs that go into fair value measurement refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates,

prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized as Level 3.

In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements: Descriptions of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). The fair value of ABS and MBS is estimated based on pricing models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche including, but not limited to, the prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they would be categorized as Level 3.

Bank loans. The fair value of bank loans is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable and are obtained from independent sources. Bank loans are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable; they would then be categorized as Level 3.

 

138


LOGO

 

Corporate bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, or credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. Corporate bonds are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; in instances where prices, spreads, or any of the other aforementioned key inputs are unobservable, they are categorized as Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Foreign currency contracts. The fair values of foreign currency contracts are derived from indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. To the extent that these factors can be observed, foreign currency contracts are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the exchange on which they are traded. They are categorized as Level 1. To the extent that valuation adjustments are observable and timely, the fair values of futures contracts would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Government and agency securities. Government and agency securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. Accordingly, government and agency securities are normally categorized as Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the liquidity and transparency of the market.

Money market funds. Money market funds are open-end mutual funds that invest in short-term debt securities. To the extent that these funds are valued based upon the reported NAV, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Municipal bonds. Municipal bonds are fair valued based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-wanted lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of municipal bonds are categorized as Level 2; otherwise, the fair values are categorized as Level 3.

Restricted securities. Restricted securities, including illiquid Rule 144A securities, issued by non-public entities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore the inputs are unobservable. Any other restricted securities valued similar to publicly traded securities may be categorized as Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether a discount is applied and significant to the fair value.

Short-term investments. Short-term investments are valued using market price quotations, and are categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Warrants. Warrants are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are generally categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of April 30, 2025 in valuing the Funds’ investments is listed after the Schedule of Investments for each Fund.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income: Throughout the reporting period, security transactions are accounted for one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by a Fund, if any, are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as “Special Dividends” and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Funds intend to declare and make distributions of taxable net investment income quarterly and net capital gains annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax should be required.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) foreign currency denominated securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Foreign Taxes: The Funds may be subject to withholding taxes on income and capital gains imposed by certain countries in which they invest. The withholding tax on income is netted against the income accrued or received. Any reclaimable taxes are recorded as income. The withholding tax on realized or unrealized gain is recorded as a liability.

Derivative Instruments: Derivatives are financial instruments which are valued based on the values of one or more indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. A derivative contract may result in a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. It is possible that a derivative transaction will result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested. The Funds may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.

Counterparty Credit Risk: Derivative contracts may be exposed to counterparty credit risk. Losses can occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

The Funds’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Funds.

With exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Funds do not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.

For OTC derivatives, the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with each counterparty. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Funds and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event.

 

146


LOGO

 

Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets declines by a stated percentage or a Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

Collateral Requirements: For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral pledged or received by a Fund.

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold, typically $250,000 or $500,000, before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of each business day and the collateral is transferred on the next business day. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds have implemented the disclosure requirements pursuant to ASC 210 Balance Sheet (“ASC 210”), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities that requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards.

Master Agreements and Netting Arrangements. Certain Funds are parties to various agreements, including but not limited to International Swaps and Derivatives Association Agreements and related Credit Support Annex, Master Repurchase Agreements, and Master Securities Forward Transactions Agreements (collectively “Master Agreements”), which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. These Master Agreements generally include provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and certain events of default or termination. These Master Agreements also include provisions for netting arrangements that help reduce credit and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions (“netting arrangements”). The netting arrangements are generally tied to credit-related events that, if triggered, would cause an event of default or termination giving a Fund or counterparty the right to terminate early and cause settlement, on a net basis, of all transactions under the applicable Master Agreement. In the event of an early termination as a result of an event of default under the Master Agreement, the total value exposure of all transactions will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable or payable that would be due from or to the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Credit-related events include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy, failure to make timely payments, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, a material decline in net assets, decline in credit rating or repudiation/moratorium. Any election made by a counterparty to early terminate the transactions under a Master Agreement could have a material adverse impact on a Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s overall exposure to credit risk, subject to netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given Fund exceeds a specified threshold, net of collateral already in place, typically $250,000 or $500,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. Collateral under the Master Agreements is usually in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury Bills but could include other types of securities. If permitted under the Master Agreement, certain funds may rehypothecate cash collateral received from a counterparty. The value of all derivative transactions outstanding under a Master Agreement is calculated daily to determine

the amount of collateral to be received or pledged by the counterparty. Posting of collateral for OTC derivative transactions are covered under tri-party collateral agreements between the Fund, the Fund’s custodian, and each counterparty. Collateral for centrally cleared derivatives transactions are posted with the applicable derivatives clearing organization.

3. Portfolio Investments

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities: The Funds may invest in MBS which represent interests in pools of mortgages in which payments of both principal and interest on the securities are generally made monthly, in effect “passing through” monthly payments made by borrowers on the residential or commercial mortgage loans which underlie the securities (net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities). Mortgage pass-through securities differ from other forms of debt securities which normally provide for periodic payment of interest in fixed amounts with principal payments at maturity or specified call dates. The Funds may also invest in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by residential or commercial mortgage loans or residential or commercial mortgage pass-through securities. Interest and principal are generally paid monthly. CMOs may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or private

 

149


LOGO

 

mortgage pass-through securities but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or Federal National Mortgage Corporation (Fannie Mae). The issuer of a series of CMOs may elect to be treated for tax purposes as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit. CMOs are structured into multiple classes, each bearing a different stated maturity. Monthly payment of principal received from the pool of underlying mortgages, including prepayments, is first returned to investors holding the shortest maturity class. Investors holding the longer maturity classes usually receive principal only after shorter classes have been retired. An investor may be partially protected against a sooner than desired return of principal because of the sequential payments. The Funds may invest in stripped MBS. Stripped MBS are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal only or “PO” class). The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities held by the Funds at April 30, 2025 are listed in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds: The Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, which are fixed income securities whose principal value or coupon is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income.

Inflation-indexed securities issued by the U.S. Treasury have maturities of five, ten, twenty, or thirty years, although it is possible that securities with other maturities will be issued in the future. The U.S. Treasury securities pay interest on a semi-annual basis, equal to a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount.

If the periodic adjustment rate measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds, even during a period of deflation. However, the current market value of the bonds is not guaranteed, and will fluctuate. The Funds may also invest in other inflation-related bonds which may or may not provide a similar guarantee. If a guarantee of principal is not provided, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates in turn are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if inflation were to rise at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increased at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds.

While the values of these securities are expected to be protected from long-term inflationary trends, short-term increases in inflation may lead to declines in values. If interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation (for example, due to changes in currency exchange rates), investors in these securities may not be protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the bond’s inflation measure.

When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, To Be Announced (“TBA”) and Forward Commitment Transactions: The Funds may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment transactions in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security or to adjust the interest rate exposure of each Fund’s existing portfolio. In when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. Although the Fund does not pay for the securities or start earning interest on them until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased on a when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment basis, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.

 

150


LOGO

 

Prior to settlement of these transactions, the value of the subject securities will fluctuate with market conditions. In addition, because the Fund is not required to pay for when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment securities until the delivery date, they may result in a form of leverage to the extent the Fund does not set aside liquid assets to cover the commitment. To guard against this deemed leverage, the Fund monitors the obligations under these transactions on a daily basis and ensures that the Fund has sufficient liquid assets to cover them.

Dollar Roll Transactions: The Funds may enter into dollar roll transactions with financial institutions to take advantage of opportunities in the MBS market. A dollar roll transaction involves a simultaneous sale of securities by a Fund with an agreement to repurchase substantially similar securities at an agreed upon price and date, but generally will be collateralized at time of delivery by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. These transactions are accounted for as financing transactions as opposed to sales and purchases. The differential between the sale price and the repurchase price is recorded as deferred income and recognized between the settlement dates of the sale and repurchase. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve risk that the market value of the security sold by a Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the security and the counterparties may potentially be unable to complete the transaction. There were no such transactions by the Funds for the period ended April 30, 2025.

Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). In a repurchase agreement, the Funds purchase a security from a counterparty who agrees to repurchase the same security at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The MRA permits each Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from each Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, each Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. There were no repurchase agreements outstanding as of April 30, 2025.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at an agreed upon price and date. The Funds may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. During the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds continue to receive the principal and interest payments on the securities sold. There were no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding during the period ended April 30, 2025.

Securities Lending: The Funds may lend their securities to qualified brokers. The loans must be collateralized at all times primarily with cash although the Funds can accept money market instruments or U.S. Government securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with any extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral if the borrowers of the securities fail financially. The Funds earn additional income for lending their securities by investing the cash collateral in short-term investments. The Funds did not lend any securities during the period ended April 30, 2025.

Derivatives:

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts: The Funds enter into forward currency exchange contracts as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Forward currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed or delivery is taken, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Outstanding forward currency exchange contracts at April 30, 2025 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures Contracts: The Funds may enter into futures contracts. A Fund may seek to manage a variety of different risks through the use of futures contracts, such as interest rate risk, equity price risk, and currency risk. A Fund may use index futures to hedge against broad market risks to its portfolio or to gain broad market exposure. Securities index futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell units of a securities index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made, and are settled in cash. Positions in futures may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a secondary market for such futures. Because futures contracts are exchange-traded, they typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. Parties to a futures contract are not required to post the entire notional amount of the contract, but rather a small percentage of that amount (by way of margin), both at the time they enter into futures transactions, and then on a daily basis if their positions decline in value; as a result, futures contracts are highly leveraged. Such payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Because futures markets are highly leveraged, they can be extremely volatile, and there can be no assurance that the pricing of a futures contract will correlate precisely with the pricing of the asset or index underlying it or the asset or liability of a Fund that is the subject of the hedge. It may not always be possible for a Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to a futures contract it has entered into at a favorable time or price. When a Fund enters into a futures transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the futures contract will move in a direction unfavorable to it.

When a Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. During the period ended April 30, 2025, the Funds utilized futures to help manage interest rate duration and credit market exposure. Futures contracts outstanding at April 30, 2025 are listed in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

Options: The Funds may purchase and sell put and call options on a security or an index of securities to enhance investment performance and/or to protect against changes in market prices. The Funds may also enter into currency options to hedge against or to take advantage of currency fluctuations.

A call option gives the holder the right to purchase, and obligates the writer to sell, a security at the strike price at any time before the expiration date. A put option gives the holder the right to sell, and obligates the writer to buy, a security at the exercise price at any time before the expiration date. A Fund may purchase put options to protect portfolio holdings against a decline in market value of a security or securities held by it. A Fund may also purchase a put option hoping to profit from an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying security. If a Fund holds the security underlying the option, the option premium and any transaction costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it sold the underlying security instead of buying the put option. A Fund may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price of securities that the Fund ultimately wants to buy. A Fund may also purchase a call option as a long directional investment hoping to profit from an anticipated increase in the value of the underlying security. In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit a Fund might have realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call option.

Purchasing foreign currency options gives a Fund the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell specified amounts of currency at a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a certain date. These currency options may be used as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

When a Fund purchases an option, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the option in a relatively short period of time, unless the Fund exercises the option or enters into a closing sale transaction before the option’s expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise (in the case of a call) or fall (in the case of a put) to an extent sufficient to cover the option premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment in the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses.

Options purchased or sold by a Fund may be traded on a securities or options exchange. Such options typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. However, an exchange or market may at times find it necessary to impose restrictions on particular types of options transactions, such as opening transactions. If an underlying security ceases to meet qualifications

 

152


LOGO

 

imposed by an exchange or the Options Clearing Corporation, new series of options on that security will no longer be opened to replace the expiring series, and opening transactions in existing series may be prohibited.

OTC options are options not traded on exchanges or backed by clearinghouses. Rather, they are entered into directly between a Fund and the counterparty to the option. In the case of an OTC option purchased by a Fund, the value of the option to the Fund will depend on the willingness and ability of the option writer to perform its obligations to the Fund. In addition, OTC options may not be transferable and there may be little or no secondary market for them, so they may be considered illiquid. It may not be possible to enter into closing transactions with respect to OTC options or otherwise to terminate such options, and as a result a Fund may be required to remain obligated on an unfavorable OTC option until its expiration.

Swap Agreements: The Funds may enter into swap agreements. Swap agreements are typically two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).

In a total return swap, one party typically agrees to pay to the other a short-term interest rate in return for a payment at one or more times in the future based on the increase in the value of an underlying security or other asset, or index of securities or assets; if the underlying security, asset, or index declines in value, the party that pays the short-term interest rate must also pay to its counterparty a payment based on the amount of the decline. A Fund may take either side of such a swap, and so may take a long or short position in the underlying security, asset, or index. A Fund may enter into a total return swap to hedge against an exposure in its portfolio — such as interest rate risk (including to adjust the duration or credit quality of a Fund’s bond portfolio), equity risk, or credit risk — or generally to put cash to work efficiently in the markets in anticipation of, or as a replacement for, cash investments. A Fund may also enter into a total return swap to gain exposure to securities or markets in which it might not be able to invest directly (in so-called market access transactions).

Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty default is the discounted NAV of the cash flows paid to/received from the counterparty over the interest rate swap’s remaining life.

The Funds may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions. Swaption contracts written by the Funds represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a new swap agreement, or to shorten, extend, cancel or modify an existing swap agreement, on a future date on specified terms. See “Swap Agreements” below. Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than it will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when a Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the option the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement. During the period ended April 30, 2025, none of the Funds held written swaptions.

A Fund may enter into credit default swap transactions as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. In a credit default swap, one party provides what is in effect insurance against a default or other adverse credit event affecting an issuer of debt securities (typically referred to as a “reference entity”). In general, the buyer of credit protection is obligated to pay the protection seller an upfront amount or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the swap. If a “credit event” occurs, the buyer has the right to deliver to the seller bonds (or other obligations of the reference entity with a value up to the full notional value of the swap), and to receive a payment equal to the par value of the bonds or other obligations. Credit events that would trigger a request that the seller make payment are specific to each credit default swap agreement, but generally include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. When a Fund buys protection, it may or may not own securities of the reference entity. When a Fund sells protection under a credit default swap, the position may have the effect of creating leverage in the Fund’s portfolio through the Fund’s indirect long exposure

 

153


LOGO

 

to the issuer or securities on which the swap is written. When a Fund sells protection, it may do so either to earn additional income or to create such a “synthetic” long position.

Whenever a Fund enters into a swap agreement, it takes on counterparty risk — the risk that its counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swap agreement. A Fund also takes the risk that the market will move against its position in the swap agreement. In the case of a total return swap, the swap will change in value depending on the change in value of the asset or index on which the swap is written. When a Fund enters into any type of swap for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the swap, at least in part. Swap agreements may be non-transferable or otherwise highly illiquid, and a Fund may not be able to terminate or transfer a swap agreement at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

During the term of a swap transaction, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking-to-market to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the agreement. Upfront swap premium payments paid or received by a Fund, if any, are recorded within the value of the open swap agreement on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on each Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap agreement.

During the term of a swap transaction, the periodic net payments can be made for a set period of time or may be triggered by a predetermined credit event. The net periodic payments may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate, the change in market value of a specified security, basket of securities or index, or the return generated by a security. These periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded as realized gains and losses, respectively. During the period ended April 30, 2025, the TCW Corporate Bond ETF entered into interest rate swaps to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk).

4. Risk Considerations

Market Risk: The Funds’ investments will fluctuate with market conditions, and so will the value of your investment in the Funds. You could lose money on your investment in the Funds or the Funds could underperform other investments.

Liquidity Risk: The Funds’ investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Funds because they may not be able to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Investments in high yield securities, foreign securities, derivatives or other securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. Certain investments in private placements and Rule 144A securities may be considered illiquid investments. The Funds may invest in private placements and Rule 144A securities.

Interest Rate Risk: The values of the Funds’ investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The longer the average duration of a Fund’s investment portfolio, the greater the change in value.

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: The Funds may invest in MBS or other ABS. The values of some mortgage-backed securities or other asset-backed securities may expose the Funds to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage-related securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed-income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

Derivatives Risk: Use of derivatives, which at times is an important part of the Funds’ investment strategies, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Investments in derivatives could cause the Funds to lose more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their objective through the use of the derivatives.

Credit Risk: The values of any of the Funds’ investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower-rated debt securities in which a Fund may invest are considered speculative and are subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment-grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The value of some mortgage-related securities in which the Funds invest also may fall because of unanticipated levels of principal prepayments that can occur when interest rates decline. Certain Funds invest a material portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain issuers held by the Funds.

MBS and ABS are characterized and classified in a variety of different ways. These classifications include a view of the securities’ cash flow structure (pass-through, sequential pay, prepayment-protected, interest only, principal only, etc.), the security of the claim on the underlying assets (senior, mezzanine and subordinated), as well as types of underlying collateral (prime conforming loans, prime non-conforming loans, Alt-A loans, subprime loans, commercial loans, etc.). In many cases, the classification incorporates a degree of subjectivity: a particular loan might be categorized as “prime” by the underwriting standards of one mortgage issuer while another might classify the loan as “subprime.” In addition to other functions, the risk associated with an investment in a mortgage loan must take into account the nature of the collateral, the form and the level of credit enhancement, the vintage of the loan, the geography of the loan, the purpose of the loan (refinance versus purchase versus equity takeout), the borrower’s credit quality (e.g., FICO score), and whether the loan is a first trust deed or a second lien.

Counterparty Risk: The Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may not fulfill its obligations.

Foreign Currency Risk: The Funds may be exposed to the risk that the value of the Funds’ investments denominated in foreign currencies will decline in value because the foreign currencies have declined in value relative to the U.S. dollar.

Foreign Investing Risk: The Funds may be exposed to the risk that the Funds’ share prices will fluctuate with market conditions, currency exchange rates and the economic and political climates in countries where the Funds invest.

U.S. Trade Policy Risk: There have been significant changes to United States trade policies, treaties and tariffs, and in the future there may be additional significant changes. These and any future developments, and continued uncertainty surrounding trade policies, treaties and tariffs, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, inflation and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict the access by issuers of our portfolio securities to suppliers or customers, increase their supply-chain costs and expenses and could have material adverse effects on our portfolio investments.

Investment Style Risk: Certain Funds may also be subject to investment style risk. The Adviser’s investment styles may be out of favor at times or may not produce the best results over short or longer time periods and may increase the volatility of a Fund’s share price.

Bank Loan Risk: There is a risk of investing in corporate loans made by commercial banks and other financial institutions or institutional investors to companies that need capital to grow or restructure, which includes interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk. A Fund may also be subject to the credit risk of other financial institutions and the risks associated with insufficient collateral securing a bank loan, limited available public information about a bank loan, delayed settlement, and less protection for holders of bank loans as compared to holders of registered securities. Bank loans are not registered and

otherwise may not be treated as securities under the federal securities laws, meaning investors in loans have less protection against improper practices than investors in securities that are registered under or are otherwise subject to the protections of the securities laws.

5. Federal Income Taxes

It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of operations. Management of the Funds is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that the Funds do not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties for the period ended April 30, 2025. The Funds are subject to examination by the U.S. Federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three and four fiscal years, respectively.

At April 30, 2025, net unrealized appreciation for federal income tax purposes is comprised of the following components:

6. Management and Other Agreements

Management

The Adviser, located at 515 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071, furnishes investment advisory services to the Funds pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), subject to the supervision and direction of the Board. The Adviser is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”), the TCW MetWest Corporate Bond Fund was reorganized into the TCW Corporate Bond ETF (the “Acquiring Fund”), a newly created series of the Trust, that has the same investment objective, investment policies and portfolio management team and substantially the same investment strategies as the TCW MetWest Corporate Bond Fund.

The shareholders of the Predecessor Fund received shares of the Acquiring Fund with an aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) equal to the aggregate NAV of its shares in the Predecessor Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization at the following conversion ratios:

8. Related Parties

At April 30, 2025, certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers or employees of the Adviser or affiliated with the Distributor.

9. Committed Line of Credit

The Funds, together with the TCW Metropolitan West Funds and the TCW Funds, Inc., have entered into a $250,000,000 committed revolving line of credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”) for temporary borrowing purposes, with an expiration date of December 18, 2025. The interest rate on borrowing is the higher Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.10%, plus 1.25% or the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 0.10%, plus 1.25%. There were no borrowings from the line of credit as of or during the period ended April 30, 2025. The Funds pay the Bank a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the committed line amount. The commitment fees incurred by the Funds would be presented in each Fund’s Statements of Operations. The commitment fees would be allocated to each applicable Fund in proportion to its relative average daily net assets and the interest expenses are charged directly to the applicable Fund.

10. Creation and Redemption Transactions

Each Fund issues and redeems shares (“Shares”) at NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of Shares (each a “Creation Unit”). The Funds may issue and redeem Creation Units of its Shares in exchange for a designated basket of portfolio investments (including any portion of such investments for which cash may be substituted) (“Deposit Instruments”), together with the deposit of a specified cash payment (“Cash Component”). Shares of each Fund are listed and trade on the New York Stock Exchange LLC (the “Exchange” or “NYSE”), a national securities exchange. Shares of the Funds are traded in the secondary market and elsewhere at market values that may be at, above or below each Fund’s NAV. Shares are redeemable only in Creation Units by authorized participants that have entered into agreements with the Distributor (“Authorized Participants”), and, generally, in exchange for securities in kind and or a cash amount. Creation Units typically are large blocks of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof. In the event of liquidation of a Fund, the Trust may lower the number of shares in a Creation Unit.

Shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Instruments, subject to various conditions, including a requirement that the Authorized Participant maintain with the Trust a cash deposit in an amount at least equal to a specified percentage, as set forth in the applicable Participant Agreement, of the value of the missing Deposit Instruments. The Trust may use such cash deposit at any time to purchase Deposit Instruments. Transaction fees and other costs associated with creations or redemptions

LOGO

 

that include cash may be higher than the transaction fees and other costs associated with in-kind creations or redemptions. In all cases, conditions with respect to creations and redemptions of Shares and fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of SEC rules and regulations applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities.

13. Restricted Securities

The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that have legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities may be sold privately, but are required to be registered before being sold to the public (exemption rules apply). Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company considers 144A securities to be restricted if those securities have been deemed illiquid. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. There were no restricted securities held by the Funds at April 30, 2025.

14.  Affiliate Ownership

As of April 30, 2025, affiliates of the Funds and Adviser owned 8.37% and 20.00% of the net assets of the TCW Corporate Bond ETF and the TCW Multisector Credit Income ETF, respectively.

16.  Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote. The Trust has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnification.

17.  New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01 (“ASU 2021-01”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. ASU 2021-01 is an update of ASU 2020-04, which is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR; regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU 2021-01 update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which deferred the sunset day of this guidance to December 31, 2024. Management is currently evaluating the implications, if any, of the additional requirements and its impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). This change is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment’s profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity’s segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures and providing new

disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Funds represent a single operating segment, as the operating results of the Funds are monitored as a whole, and their long-term asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable prospectus, based on defined investment objectives that are executed by the Funds’ portfolio management team. A senior executive team comprised of the Funds’ Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, serves as the Funds’ CODM, who act in accordance with Board of Trustee reviews and approvals. The CODM monitors and actively manages the operating results of each Fund. There have been no impacts to date.

18.  Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
