WHO WE ARE. We are an investment adviser registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and have been since 1970. We are a Delaware limited liability company. We are wholly-owned by The TCW Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TCW Group”). In February 2013, TCW management and private investment funds affiliated with alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group (together with such affiliated funds, “Carlyle”) acquired TCW Group. On December 27, 2017, Nippon Life Insurance Company (“Nippon”) acquired a minority stake in TCW Group. At present, TCW Group is co-owned by TCW management and employees, Carlyle, and Nippon. THE SERVICES WE OFFER. We provide investment management and advice for a wide array of U.S. Equities, U.S. Fixed Income, International and Alternatives investment strategies for institutional and individual investors through investment advisory accounts (“Accounts”), private open- and closed-end commingled investment funds (“Funds”) and structured investment vehicles such as collateralized debt obligations. We are typically the direct adviser for an Account or Fund, but we sometimes are a sub-adviser. Our clients include private or government investment funds and institutions, including pension funds, foreign investment companies, high net worth individuals and family offices and others. Those clients are generally sophisticated investors and often have internal and external consultants and advisers to assist them with determinations of their individual needs, such as allocations among types of investments, and do not seek those determinations from us. We may agree with certain clients on investment guidelines

that restrict the securities or types of securities that we invest in on their behalf. ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT. As of December 31, 2023, we had $64,193,181,956 in discretionary assets under management and $0 in non-discretionary assets under management. The TCW Group of Companies, including affiliated entities, had approximately $210 billion in assets under management as of that date.
