By actively voting and directly engaging such companies on material issues, VOTE seeks to drive long-term value. The other ETFs are actively managed and aim to invest in companies focused on capturing the value presented by rapidly developing cross-sector thematic opportunities such as the reshoring of supply chains, the energy transition, or artificial intelligence, as applicable.

TCW is committed to strengthening the execution experience for its clients and investors when trading in shares of each of the ETFs. By listing on the NYSE, the ETFs will have access to best-in-class trading technology and human oversight. Additionally, listing on the NYSE floor has the potential to enhance the ETFs’ market quality as marked by tighter spreads, larger quoted size trades and additional liquidity.

The ETFs will begin trading on the NYSE as of the open of trading on May 30, 2024.

Shareholders of each of the ETFs are not anticipated to be impacted or need to take any action in connection with the change in listing exchange. The ticker of each ETF will remain the same.

Important Information

Before investing you should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of each ETF (each referred to herein as a “Fund”). This and other information is in a Fund’s prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained from etf.tcw.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Shares of any exchange=traded fund are bought and sold at market price (not net asset value (“NAV”), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Funds. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The closing price is the mid-point between the bid and ask price as of the close of exchange. Closing price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

The Funds are advised by TCW Investment Management Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCW, and distributed by Foreside Financial Services, LLC.

Effective October 13, 2023, TCW acquired Engine No. 1’s ETF business and the Transform Funds' adviser became TCW Investment Management Company LLC (the “Adviser”). Prior to that date, the Transform Funds' adviser was Fund Management at Engine No. 1 LLC.

TCW Artificial Intelligence ETF (AIFD) seeks to invest in the companies that the Adviser believes will benefit from the artificial intelligence, or “AI,” transformation. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund is actively managed and may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Fund’s investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Fund’s investments are concentrated in the securities of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. The Fund may purchase and write put and call options on futures contracts that are traded on an exchange as a hedge against changes in value of its portfolio securities, or in anticipation of the purchase of securities, and may enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate existing positions. There is no guarantee that such closing transactions can be effected.

TCW Artificial Intelligence ETF (AIFD) is subject to the following risks: Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities held by the Fund. Funds investing in mid and small cap companies involve special risks including higher volatility and lower liquidity. The Fund’s investments in companies involved in, or exposed to, artificial intelligence-related businesses may be negatively impacted because of, among other things, limited product lines, markets, financial resources and/or personnel these companies may have, intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence these companies may face, loss or impairment of intellectual property rights, and the inability to successfully develop products or services even after spending significant amount of resources. Undervalued stocks may not realize their perceived value for extended periods of time or may never realize their perceived value. Value stocks may respond differently to market and other developments than other types of stocks. The Fund will concentrate its investments in various technology industries. At times of such impact, the value of the Fund may fluctuate more widely than it would for a fund that invests more broadly across varying sectors. The Fund may be more susceptible to any single economic, political, or regulatory event than a diversified fund because a higher percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of a limited number of issuers. Investments in emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks than investments in developed countries. Active ownership can take any of several forms, including proxy battles, publicity campaigns, and negotiations with management. In the event that an affiliate of the Fund or its investment adviser is engaged in an activist campaign with respect to a portfolio company, the Fund may be foreclosed from taking certain actions with respect to that company as a result of prohibitions on engaging in joint transactions with affiliates under Section 17(d) of the 1940 Act or as a result of other regulatory or fiduciary concerns. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in, and be more exposed to the risks of, the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers, which may increase the Fund’s volatility.

TCW Compounders ETF (GRW) seeks to invest in the companies that the Adviser believes will benefit from transformation as a result of technological innovations, market dynamics, and/or changes in client preferences. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

The Fund’s may purchase and write put and call options on futures contracts that are traded on an exchange as a hedge against changes in value of its portfolio securities, or in anticipation of the purchase of securities, and may enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate existing positions. There is no guarantee that such closing transactions can be effected.

Undervalued stocks may not realize their perceived value for extended periods of time or may never realize their perceived value. Value stocks may respond differently to market and other developments than other types of stocks. The Fund will typically invest a portion of its assets in securities or other financial instruments issued by companies in the financial services sector, including, without limitation, the banking, brokerage and insurance industries. Changes to government regulations, interest rates, or general economic conditions may detrimentally affect the Fund because of the Fund’s investments in the financial services sector.

Limited History of Operations Risk. The Fund is a new fund with no history of operations for investors to evaluate. Emerging Markets Risk Investments in securities and instruments traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to such securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments.
