Fair Value Measurement
The Fund discloses the fair market value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
● | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access. |
● | Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
● | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of April 30, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments.

Fair Value Measurement
The Fund discloses the fair market value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
● | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access. |
● | Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
● | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of April 30, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments.

Fair Value Measurement
The Fund discloses the fair market value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
● | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access. |
● | Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
● | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of April 30, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments.

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:
30
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) April 30, 2025 (Unaudited) |
![]() |
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.
Security Valuations
Generally, securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Securities primarily traded in the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally are valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the-counter market. Futures contracts listed for trading on a futures exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are generally available are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean of the last bid and ask price. Investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at NAV.
Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” with respect to the fair valuation of each Fund’s portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and period 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.
The Funds may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when the value of a Fund’s security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted.
The Funds may use independent pricing services to assist in calculating the value of each Fund’s securities or other assets.
Each Fund discloses the fair market value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
● | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access. |
● | Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
● | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Security Transactions and Related Investment Income
Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. 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 the Funds, if any, are presented separately on the Statements 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.

Dividend Distributions
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 Statements 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.
Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions reported on the Statements of Operations arise from sales of foreign currency, including foreign exchange contracts, net currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference in the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies reported on the Statements of Operations arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific asset, currency, rate or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. Stock index futures are based on investments that reflect the market value of common stock of the firms included in an underlying index. The Funds may enter into futures contracts to purchase securities indexes when the Adviser anticipates purchasing the underlying securities and believes prices will rise before the purchase will be made. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.
Futures contracts may be bought and sold on U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges. Futures contracts in the U.S. have been designed by exchanges that have been designated “contract markets” by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and must be executed through the futures commission merchant (“FCM”). Each exchange guarantees performance of the contracts as between the clearing members of the exchange, thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. Futures contracts may also be entered into on certain exempt markets, including exempt boards of trade and electronic trading facilities, available to certain market participants. Because all transactions in the futures market are made, offset or fulfilled by an FCM through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the contracts are traded, the Funds will incur brokerage fees when they buy or sell futures contracts.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds will be required to deliver to an account controlled by the FCM an amount of cash or cash equivalents known as “initial margin,” which is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract and is returned to the Funds upon termination of the futures contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” to and from the FCM will be made daily as the price of the instrument or index underlying the futures contract fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as “marking-to-market.”
At any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, a Fund may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate the Fund’s existing position in the contract. This transaction, which is effected through a member of an exchange, cancels the obligation to make or take delivery of the underlying instrument or asset. Although some futures contracts by their terms require the actual delivery or acquisition of the underlying instrument or asset, some require cash settlement.

There are several risks accompanying the utilization of futures contracts. Utilization of futures by the TCW Transform 500 ETF involves the risk of imperfect or even negative correlation to the Morningstar® US Large Cap Select IndexSM (its “Underlying Index”) if the index underlying the futures contract differs from the Underlying Index. For each Fund, there is also the risk of loss of margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy of a broker with whom the Fund has an open position in the futures contract.
Because the futures market generally imposes less burdensome margin requirements than the securities market, an increased amount of participation by speculators in the futures market could result in price fluctuations. Certain financial futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount by which the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day’s settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of contract, no trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. It is possible that futures contract prices could move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting the Funds to substantial losses. In the event of adverse price movements, the Funds would be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin.
For the period ended April 30, 2025, the average monthly notional amount of open futures contracts for the TCW Transform 500 ETF was $520,144. The range of monthly notional amounts was $284,421 to $908,363. For the period ended April 30, 2025, TCW Artificial Intelligence ETF, TCW Compounders ETF, TCW Transform Supply Chain ETF and TCW Transform Systems ETF did not hold open futures contracts.
The following tables indicate the location of derivative-related items on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as well as the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations during the reporting period.

Time Deposits
Each Fund places excess cash balances into overnight time deposits with one or more eligible deposit institutions that meet credit and risk standards approved by the Funds. These are classified as short-term investments in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments.
Securities Lending
The Funds may lend portfolio securities to certain borrowers. The borrowers provide collateral that is maintained in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. The Funds may terminate a loan at any time and obtain the return of the securities loaned. The Funds receive the value of any interest or cash or noncash distributions paid on the loaned securities. Distributions received on loaned securities in lieu of dividend payments (i.e., substitute payments) would not be considered qualified dividend income.
33
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) April 30, 2025 (Unaudited) |

With respect to loans that are collateralized by cash, the borrower will be entitled to receive a fee based on the amount of cash collateral. The Funds are compensated by the difference between the amount earned on the reinvestment of cash collateral and the fee paid to the borrower. In the case of collateral other than cash, the Funds are compensated by a fee paid by the borrower equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities. Any cash collateral may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of the lending Funds or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, which may include those managed by the Adviser.
The Funds may pay a portion of the interest or fees earned from securities lending to a borrower as described above, and to one or more securities lending agents approved by the Board who administer the lending program for the Funds in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board. In such capacity, the lending agent causes the delivery of loaned securities from the Funds to borrowers, arranges for the return of loaned securities to the Funds at the termination of a loan, requests deposit of collateral, monitors the daily value of the loaned securities and collateral, requests that borrowers add to the collateral when required by the loan agreements, and provides recordkeeping and accounting services necessary for the operation of the program. Securities lending involves exposure to certain risks, including operational risk (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process), “gap” risk (i.e., the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and the fees the Funds have agreed to pay a borrower), and credit, legal, counterparty and market risk. In the event a borrower does not return the Funds’ securities as agreed, the Funds may experience losses if the proceeds received from liquidating the collateral do not at least equal the value of the loaned security at the time the collateral is liquidated plus the transaction costs incurred in purchasing replacement securities.
Investing cash collateral subjects the Funds to greater market risk, including losses on the collateral and, should the Funds need to look to the collateral in the event of the borrower’s default, losses on the loan secured by that collateral.
The following table summarizes each Fund’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to rights of offset as of April 30, 2025:

Warrants
Warrants are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. To the extent these securities are not actively traded, and valuation adjustments are applied, they are generally categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2025 in valuing the Funds’ investments is listed after the Schedule of Investments for each Fund.
Following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (level 3) were used in determining value:

3. 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. Effective October 13, 2023, TCW Group Inc. acquired the ETF business from Engine No. 1 and the Funds’ investment adviser became TCW Investment Management Company LLC. Prior to that date, the Funds’ investment adviser was Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC.
For its investment advisory services to the Funds, the Adviser is paid a management fee from the Funds based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, at the annual rate of 0.75% for the TCW Artificial Intelligence ETF, 0.75% for the TCW Compounders ETF, 0.05% for the TCW Transform 500 ETF, 0.75% for the TCW Transform Supply Chain ETF and 0.75% for the TCW Transform Systems ETF for the period. The Adviser may from time to time voluntarily waive and/or reimburse fees or expenses in order to limit total annual fund operating expenses, as may be specified in a separate letter of agreement.
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust (entered into on behalf of the Funds), the Adviser is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (ii) expenses of the Funds incurred with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting and/or disposition of portfolio
35

securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions; (iii) expenses incurred in connection with any distribution plan adopted by the Trust in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, including distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (v) litigation expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel retained by or on behalf of the Trust or any Fund) and any fees, costs or expenses payable by the Trust or any Fund pursuant to indemnification obligations to which the Trust or such Fund may be subject (pursuant to contract or otherwise); and (vi) any extraordinary expenses, as determined by a majority of the Independent Trustees.
Administrator, Custodian, Transfer Agent and Accounting Agent
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), which has its principal office at 50 Post Office Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, is the Funds’ administrator, fund accountant, transfer and dividend agent and custodian. BBH is primarily in the business of providing administrative, fund accounting and transfer agent services to retail and institutional mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Distribution
Foreside Financial Services, LLC (the “Distributor”), Three Canal Plaza, Suite 100, Portland, Maine 04101, is the distributor for the shares of the Trust. The Distributor is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).
Organizational and Offering Costs
The Adviser has paid or assumed all organizational and offering expenses for the Funds.
Board of Trustees Compensation
The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $27,500 per calendar year, plus a $1,500 per-meeting fee for in-person attendance and $250 for telephonic attendance for each Board of Trustees meeting attended by that Independent Trustee. The Independent Chair of the Board of Trustees receives an additional annual retainer of $10,500, the Independent Vice Chair receives an additional annual retainer of $7,000, and the Chairs of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee each receives an additional annual retainer of $1,750. The Independent Trustees’ compensation is paid by the Adviser from the management fees it receives from the Funds.
4. 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.
5. 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 portfolio in proportion to its relative average daily net assets and the interest expenses are charged directly to the applicable portfolio.
6. 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 (See Note 12 – Subsequent Events). 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.
36
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) April 30, 2025 (Unaudited) |
![]() |
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 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.
7. Risk Considerations
Principal Investment Risks. Shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to certain risks, including those noted below and in the Funds’ prospectuses, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective.
Active Management Risk. The TCW Artificial Intelligence ETF, TCW Compounders ETF, TCW Transform Supply Chain ETF and TCW Transform Systems ETF are actively managed, which means that investment decisions are made based on the Adviser’s investment views. There is no guarantee that the investment views will produce the desired results or expected returns, which may cause the Fund to fail to meet its investment objective or to underperform its benchmark index or funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Furthermore, active trading that can accompany active management may result in high portfolio turnover, which may have a negative impact on performance. Active trading may result in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund. Active trading may also result in adverse tax consequences.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Although the TCW Artificial Intelligence ETF, TCW Compounders ETF, TCW Transform Supply Chain ETF and TCW Transform Systems ETF intend to invest in a variety of securities and instruments, these Funds are considered to be non-diversified, which means that they may invest more of their assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if they were diversified funds. As a result, these Funds may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely. This may increase the Funds’ volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Funds’ performance.
Concentration Risk. The Funds may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Funds’ investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Funds’ investments are concentrated in the securities and/or other assets of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
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.
Industrials Sector Risk (TCW Artificial Intelligence ETF). The value of securities issued by companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by supply and demand changes related to their specific products or services and industrials sector products in general. The products of manufacturing companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction. Global events, trade disputes and changes in government regulations, economic conditions and exchange rates may adversely affect the performance of companies in the industrials sector.
Companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by liability for environmental damage and product liability claims. The industrials sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors. Companies in the industrials sector, particularly aerospace and defense companies, may also be adversely affected by government spending policies because companies in this sector tend to rely to a significant extent on government demand for their products and services.
Supply Chain Risk (TCW Transform Supply Chain ETF). Companies’ supply chains are generally subject to risk such as legislative or regulatory changes; adverse market conditions and/or increased competition; technological developments and changing technology; cyberattacks that may compromise a company’s operations or business; occasional sharp price movements which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements, exchange rate movements, and insurance costs; pandemics, natural disasters or
37

![]() |
other crisis; boarder and/or import controls; pent-up/increased demand; mobility restrictions; shortages of product and labor; dependence on intellectual property rights, and potential loss or impairment of those rights; research and development costs; and rapid product obsolescence. Global, regional, or local events, such as changes to trade relations, trade restrictions, and/or military conflict, may materially disrupt or indefinitely impair the operations of these companies. Securities of these companies may be cyclical and occasionally subject to sharp price movements. Certain companies may be subject to significant regulation, including environmental regulation, by federal, state and local governmental agencies.
Technology Sector Risk (TCW Artificial Intelligence ETF, TCW Compounders ETF, TCW Transform 500 ETF, TCW Transform Supply Chain ETF). Technology companies, including information technology companies, may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. They are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by the loss or impairment of those rights. Companies in the technology sector are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.
8. Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund 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 (depreciation) on investments and derivatives for federal income tax purposes was as follows:
Gross | Gross | Net Unrealized | ||||||||||||||
Unrealized | Unrealized | Appreciation | ||||||||||||||
Fund | Cost | Appreciation | Depreciation | (Depreciation) | ||||||||||||
TCW Artificial Intelligence ETF | $ | 49,863,939 | $ | 6,269,149 | $ | (3,814,794 | ) | $ | 2,454,355 | |||||||

TCW Transform 500 ETF | $ | 633,574,379 | $ | 129,415,478 | $ | (43,083,270 | ) | $ | 86,332,208 | |||||||

TCW Transform Systems ETF | $ | 337,957,428 | $ | 36,528,774 | $ | (16,978,047 | ) | $ | 19,550,727 |
The differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales for tax purposes.
At October 31, 2024, for Federal income tax purposes, the Funds have capital loss carryforwards available as shown in the table below, to the extent provided by regulations, to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. To the extent that these capital loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

10. 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.
11. New Accounting Pronouncements
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.
12. 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 other material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
Effective June 27, 2025, the Funds will cease being listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange and will instead be listed and traded on the Nasdaq stock market.
