FOR INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS ONLY
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
Equity investments entail equity risk and price volatility risk. The value of stocks and other equity securities will change based on changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market and economic conditions.
NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS WHO INVEST THROUGH INTERMEDIARIES Certain unaffiliated intermediaries, including, but not limited to, registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, banks and consultants (each, a “Firm”), may offer/recommend private funds or strategies sponsored by The TCW Group, Inc. and its affiliates (“TCW” and together with the private funds and strategies, the “TCW Accounts”) to Firm clients. The Firm does not receive any compensation from TCW if a client invests in the TCW Account. However, the client may pay the Firm a fee (e.g., advisory fee, consultancy fee, due diligence fee, etc.) and indirectly pays TCW a management fee through the investment in the TCW Account. As a result of this arrangement, a conflict of interest may exist in that the Firm may have an incentive to endorse and make positive statements about TCW. The Firm, its clients or personnel may be or have been invested in vehicles managed, advised, or sponsored by TCW, and the Firm, its clients or personnel or affiliates potentially may invest in such vehicles in the future.
