Los Angeles-headquartered asset manager TCW has launched a Luxembourg-domiciled Ucits fund aimed at expanding the firm’s international fixed income offering.
The TCW Global Bond Fund, an actively managed strategy, provides exposure to global fixed income markets and is benchmarked against the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (unhedged).
It is designed for investors seeking a globally diversified core-plus bond allocation within a Ucits structure, shared the asset manager.
The fund combines top-down macro views with bottom-up analysis, with active allocations across sovereign, credit and securitised sectors, alongside currency positioning and sustainability considerations.

The institutional share class is priced at 0.45%. The strategy will be managed by Bryan T. Whalen, Ruben Hovhannisyan, David Robbins, Jamie Patton, Michael Carrion and Nick Verdi.
“Given divergences in economic, monetary and fiscal policy, global bond markets should continue to offer compelling income, diversification, and relative-value opportunities for active investors,” said Bryan T. Whalen, CFA, chief investment officer and generalist portfolio manager at TCW. “This Ucits fund represents a natural extension of our long-standing global fixed income strategy, applying the same disciplined, risk-aware investment approach that guides TCW’s fixed income platform.”
