The fund serves institutional investors, financial advisors, high-net-worth individuals, and retail participants seeking targeted AI-themed equity investments.
Operated by TCW Investment Management Company LLC, a subsidiary of The TCW Group, Inc., AIFD traces its performance history to the predecessor TCW Artificial Intelligence Equity Fund (ticker: TGFTX), which launched on August 31, 2017; on May 6, 2024, AIFD completed the conversion from this mutual fund, acquiring its assets, liabilities, and historical performance while adopting a more tax-efficient ETF structure with lower expenses. This reorganization expanded TCW's active ETF suite, which also includes the TCW Compounders ETF (GRW), TCW Transform Systems ETF (NETZ), TCW Transform Supply Chain ETF (SUPP), and TCW Transform 500 ETF (VOTE), following TCW's acquisition of Engine No. 1's Transform ETF platform in October 2023. Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, at 515 South Flower Street, TCW manages approximately $200 billion in assets globally, with AIFD's assets under management reaching about $64 million as of mid-2024 and operations domiciled in the United States for U.S.-focused investors.
