What are shareholders being asked to vote on?

The Directors are recommending that shareholders of the Fund approve the reclassification of the Fund's diversification status from diversified to non-diversified. As a diversified fund, the Fund is currently limited in its percentage ownership of securities of any single issuer. If the reclassification is approved by shareholders, the

5

Fund will not be subject to its current limitations and the Fund's investment advisor, TCW Investment Management Company LLC ("TCW"), would have greater flexibility over time to increase or decrease positions in single issuers according to its relative risk expectations for these issuers. Changing the Fund's classification to a non-diversified fund will provide TCW with enhanced flexibility to actively manage the Fund's portfolio holdings and potentially result in better investment performance.

If shareholders approve the reclassification of the Fund as a non-diversified fund, the Fund's fundamental investment policies regarding diversification of investments will be changed to reflect that the Fund is non-diversified. The Fund's investment objective, strategy and other investment policies will remain unchanged.

What is the difference between a diversified fund and non-diversified fund?

Under Section 5(b) of the 1940 Act a fund must be classified as either diversified or non-diversified. The 1940 Act provides that a fund that is classified as diversified, with respect to 75% of its total assets, may not invest in a security if, as a result of such investment, more than 5% of its total assets (calculated at the time of purchase) would be invested in securities of any one issuer. Additionally, with respect to 75% of its total assets, a diversified fund may not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. These restrictions do not apply to U.S. government securities, securities of other investment companies, or cash and cash items (including receivables). A Government security is any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States, or by a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the government of the United States pursuant to authority granted by the Congress of the United States, or any certificate of deposit for any of the forgoing. The remaining 25% of a diversified fund's total assets are not subject to these limitations. In effect the aggregated total of single issuer positions of 5% or more cannot exceed 25% of a fund's total assets. The above limitations applicable to diversified funds apply at the time of a fund's investment in a security and, therefore, a fund is not required to sell a position in a security if the fund subsequently exceeds the diversification limits as a result of market appreciation of such security. In these instances, however, a diversified fund is restricted from purchasing any additional amount of such security until the fund's portfolio is in compliance with the above diversification limits.

A non-diversified fund is not subject to these limitations and may therefore hold a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or small number of issuers. A non-diversified fund may freely establish an underweight position relative to the benchmark weight with full confidence in the ability to repurchase the shares if the facts and fundamentals change. While a non-diversified fund is not subject to the diversification limitations under the 1940 Act, it is still subject to tax diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") (please see below for more detail).

Why are shareholders being asked to approve a change in the Fund's diversification classification?

The Fund's investment objective is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation. TCW invests at least 80% of the value of the Fund's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a concentrated portfolio of equity securities of large-capitalization companies (i.e. companies with market capitalizations, at the time of acquisition, within the capitalization range of the Russell 1000^® Growth Index (the "Index")).

Over the past several years, certain technology-related issuers have experienced significant increases in market capitalization. Consequently, the Index has become much more concentrated at the individual issuer level. As of September 3, 2026, issuer weightings over 5%, in aggregate, comprised 37.06% of the Index's total weight. Specifically, as of September 3, 2026, the weightings of the following issuers represented over 5% of the Index: Nvidia Corp. (15.48%), Alphabet Inc. (10.74%), Microsoft Corp. (5.66%), and Broadcom Inc. (5.18%). Although levels of concentration have historically fluctuated in the Index, TCW believes that this market concentration is likely to continue.

In order to meet the requirements of the Fund's current diversification status, TCW is limited in its ability to effectively manage the Fund's current positions in certain issuers. Similar to the Index, the Fund's portfolio has

6

gradually become more concentrated over time as a result of increases in the market capitalization of certain issuers. Although the Fund technically remains classified as a diversified fund, the relative increase in the market value of certain holdings has caused the Fund's portfolio to become sufficiently concentrated that investors in the Fund are subject to risks similar to those associated with investing in a non-diversified mutual fund. As of September 3, 2026, issuer weightings over 5%, in aggregate, comprised 41.15% of the Fund's total assets. The Fund is not required to reduce these positions because they are the result of market appreciation subsequent to the Fund's investment. However, TCW is limited in its ability to effectively manage these positions based on its current investment thesis or relative risk expectations for these issuers. Specifically, TCW is currently limited to only being able to reduce its more concentrated positions and, therefore, is unable to freely adjust these positions upward or downward relative to the Index and TCW's long-term outlook of an issuer's fundamentals. As a result, TCW cannot fully mitigate the Fund's active risk with respect to certain very large index constituents. The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to track the holdings or issuer weightings of the Index and, therefore, if the proposal is approved by the Fund's shareholders, the Fund may seek to hold overweight or underweight positions in specific issuers relative to the Index based on TCW's long-term risk and return expectations for a particular issuer.

[TCW believes that reclassifying the Fund as a non-diversified fund is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and will provide TCW with increased investment flexibility over time to adjust individual positions based on TCW's relative risk expectations for these issuers and the potential for better investment performance.

The Directors, including the Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act), unanimously recommend approval of the proposal. In recommending that shareholders approve the proposal, the Directors considered, among other things the potential benefits to the Fund from operating as a non-diversified fund, including the increased flexibility afforded to TCW to actively manage the Fund's portfolio holdings. The Directors considered the risks associated with the proposal, including those risks that relate to the Fund potentially becoming more concentrated in a smaller number of issuers. The Directors also considered the anticipated costs to the Fund of the proposal, including costs for proxy solicitation, if needed, and the costs associated with potential portfolio repositioning, if any.

As noted above, if shareholders approve the reclassification of the Fund to a non-diversified fund, the Fund's fundamental investment policies regarding diversification of investments will be changed to reflect that the Fund is non-diversified. The Fund's other investment policies will remain unchanged, including the Fund's policy concerning industry concentration.]

Who is eligible to vote?

Only shareholders of the Fund as of the close of business on October 2, 2026 (the "Record Date"), will be entitled to vote or give voting instructions at the Meeting. Each shareholder of record is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of shares held by that shareholder on the Record Date (i.e., number of shares owned times net asset value per share), with fractional dollar amounts voting proportionally.

Will the reclassification have tax consequences for the Fund?

Approval of this Proposal will not affect the Fund's ability to comply with the diversification and other requirements of the Code, which are applicable to the Fund so that the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its net investment income. In this regard, the applicable diversification requirements imposed by the Code provide that the Fund must diversify its holdings so that at the end of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year (i) at least 50% of the market value of the Fund's total assets is represented by cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, the securities of other regulated investment companies and other securities, with such other securities of any one issuer limited for purposes of this calculation to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets is invested in (x) the securities of any one issuer or

7

of two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same, similar, or related trades or businesses (other than U.S. government securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies) or (y) in the securities of one or more publicly traded partnerships.

Will the reclassification increase the Fund's risk profile?

TCW believes moving to a non-diversified classification may enhance the Fund's ability to manage portfolio risk and potentially decrease overall portfolio risk by providing TCW with more flexibility to adjust individual positions based on TCW's relative risk expectations for these issuers. The change from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund does not necessarily mean that TCW will manage the Fund as a more concentrated portfolio and TCW does not anticipate any material change to the Fund's investment approach. However, concentration of investments in a smaller number of issuers exposes a fund to the risks associated with such issuers to a greater extent than a fund invested in a larger number of issuers. Poor performance by any one of these issuers could adversely affect a non-diversified fund to a greater extent than a more broadly diversified fund. While investing a larger portion of the Fund's assets in the stocks of fewer issuers may prove beneficial when such issuers outperform the market, larger investments in the stocks of fewer issuers may also magnify any negative or under-performance by such issuers. In general, because the Fund's performance may become more closely tied to the value of a single issuer or small number of issuers, it is likely to become more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. However, TCW believes these additional risks are outweighed by the potential for improved performance and greater flexibility afforded to TCW. As discussed above, there have been significant increases in the market capitalization of certain technology-related issuers currently held by the Fund and included in the Index. The limitations imposed on diversified funds under the 1940 Act restricts TCW from actively managing these positions. We believe moving to a non-diversified classification may enhance the Fund's ability to manage portfolio risk and potentially decrease overall portfolio risk by providing TCW with more flexibility to adjust individual positions based on TCW's relative risk expectations for these issuers.

Who manages the Fund?

TCW is the investment advisor for the Fund. TCW, located at 515 South Flower Street Los Angeles, California 90071. TCW was organized in 1987 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of The TCW Group, Inc. As of December 31 2025, the Advisor and its affiliated companies, which provide a variety of investment management and investment advisory services, had approximately $206.2 billion in assets under management or committed to management (of which $40.4 billion related specifically to TCW). The Fund's administrator is State Street Bank and Trust Company, located at One Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02114. The Fund's distributor is TCW Fund Distributors LLC, located at 515 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071.

What are the costs associated with the reclassification?

The cost associated with the reclassification of the Fund from a diversified fund to non-diversified fund are estimated to be approximately $[    ]. This cost estimate includes estimated costs for printing, preparation, and mailing of the proxy materials and related shareholder communications. Additionally, this cost estimate includes estimated costs of approximately $[    ] to be paid to [EQ Fund Solutions Trust Company, N.A. ("EQ Fund Solutions")] to provide shareholder solicitation services, vote tabulation services, and shareholder meeting services. The Fund shall bear the fees and expenses associated with the reclassification and such costs may increase substantially if this proposal is contested or increased solicitation or mailing services are required.

To the extent portfolio securities are repositioned in connection with the change in classification from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund, shareholders of the Fund will indirectly incur commissions and other transaction costs typically associated with the purchase and sale of securities. TCW expects that any immediate costs associated with repositioning of the Fund's holdings as a result of the change to a non-diversified fund will be immaterial relative to the Fund's net assets. TCW anticipates that any resulting changes to the Fund's portfolio composition will occur over a period of time in response to TCW's view of the performance potential

8

and relative risk of an issuer in light of prevailing market conditions. These transactions may also generate taxable gains for shareholders, which will vary depending on the level of repositioning of the Fund's holdings.

What if shareholders do not approve the reclassification?

If shareholders do not approve the Fund's reclassification from a diversified fund to non-diversified fund, there will be no changes made to the Fund's classification and the Fund will continue to operate as a diversified fund.

The Directors, including the Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act), unanimously recommend approval of the reclassification.

The Directors know of no matters other than those set forth herein to be brought before the Meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the Directors' intention that proxies will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgement of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSAL

The reclassification will become effective only if approved by the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund entitled to vote. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the securities present at the Meeting, or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities.

In cases where another TCW mutual fund owns shares of the Fund, TCW will mirror vote the Fund's shares held by the investing fund in the same proportion as the votes cast by the other shareholders of the Fund. As of the Record Date, TCW mutual funds are a [  ]% shareholder of the Fund.

Quorum, and Method of Tabulation. The holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of the Fund as of the Record Date present at the Meeting or represented by proxy will constitute a quorum for the Meeting. Shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of the shares as of the Record Date (i.e., number of shares owned times net asset value per share), with fractional amounts voting proportionately.

Votes cast by proxy or at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by the Fund as the vote tabulators for the Meeting. The vote tabulators will count the total number of votes cast "for" approval of the Proposal for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. The vote tabulators will count shares represented by proxies that are marked with an abstention as shares that are present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Thus, abstentions have the effect of a negative vote on the Proposal.

"Broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) are not applicable for this Meeting because shareholders are being asked to vote on a matter that is deemed "non-routine" and for which brokers do not have discretionary voting power.

Shares Outstanding. The number of shares of the Fund outstanding as of [    ], 2026, were as follows:

Share Ownership. As of [ ], 2026, the officers and Directors, as a group, beneficially owned less than 1% of any class of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

9

To the best of the knowledge of the Fund, as of [ ], 2026, the following shareholders owned of record or beneficially 5% or more of the following classes of the Fund's outstanding shares. All holdings are of record unless otherwise indicated.

To the best of the knowledge of the Fund, as of [ ], 2026, there were no shareholders of record that owned 25% or more of the Fund's outstanding shares.

Solicitation of Proxies. The Directors and employees of TCW and TCW Fund Distributors LLC may solicit proxies in person or virtually, or by mail or telephone. The Fund has engaged [EQ Fund Solutions] to provide shareholder meeting services as well as vote solicitation and tabulation services. A proxy may be revoked prior to its exercise by a signed writing filed with [EQ Fund Solutions, c/o PO Box 43131, Providence, RI, 02940-3131] or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. It is anticipated that the cost of [EQ Fund Solutions'] services will be approximately $[    ] and may increase substantially in the event that any vote is contested or increased solicitation efforts are required. The Fund will incur additional costs associated with preparing, printing, and mailing proxy materials and related shareholder communications. Please refer to the section of this Proxy Statement entitled "What are the costs associated with the reclassification?" for further information concerning these and other costs associated with this proposal.

The Fund may arrange to have votes recorded by telephone. The telephonic voting procedure is designed to authenticate shareholders' identities, to allow shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Shareholders will be asked for their Social Security Numbers or other identifying information. The shareholders will then be given an opportunity to authorize their proxies to vote their shares in accordance with their instructions. To ensure the shareholders' instructions have been recorded correctly, they will also receive a confirmation of their instructions in the mail. A toll-free number will be available in the event the information in the confirmation is incorrect.

Shareholders have the opportunity to vote via the Internet as directed on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The giving of such a proxy will not affect your right to vote at the Meeting should you decide to attend. To vote via the Internet, you will need the "control" number that appears on your proxy card.

Shareholders voting via the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies, that must be borne by the shareholders and not the Fund.

To vote proxies or submit voting instructions by mail, please mark, sign, date and return the proxy card received with the Proxy Statement by following the instructions printed on the proxy card, or you can attend the Meeting in person.
