The TCW Global Real Estate Fund, I Share Class, experienced a challenging fourth quarter in 2024, reporting a return of -11.75% after fees. This performance fell short of the S&P Global REIT Index, which recorded a smaller decline of -8.78% during the same period.
The underperformance of the Fund can be attributed to various market factors, including fluctuations in interest rates and economic uncertainties that have impacted real estate valuations. Investors in the Fund faced significant headwinds, as the broader market for real estate investment trusts (REITs) navigated through a turbulent economic landscape.
Despite the disappointing results, the Fund remains committed to its investment strategy and aims to capitalize on long-term opportunities within the global real estate sector. The management team is focused on reassessing its portfolio and identifying potential areas for recovery as market conditions evolve. As the Fund looks ahead, it will continue to monitor trends and adjust its approach to enhance performance in the future.
