| Performance Narrative [Text Block] | The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. Because Class I‑3 has not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus, the bar chart shows performance for the Fund’s Class I shares and the table shows annual total returns for the Fund’s Class I, Class N and Plan Class shares. Class I, Class N and Plan Class shares would have substantially similar annual returns to Class I‑3 shares because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns would differ only to the extent that Class I, Class N Plan Class shares do not have the same expenses as Class I‑3 shares. Performance information for Class I‑3 shares will be provided after such shares have one full calendar year of performance. The bar chart below shows how the Fund’s investment results have varied from year to year and the table below shows how the Fund’s average annual total returns for various periods compare with the Fund’s benchmark index. Past results (before and after taxes) are not predictive of future results. Updated information on the Fund’s investment results can be obtained by visiting www.TCW.com.

Your actual after‑tax returns depend on your individual tax situation and likely will differ from the results shown above, and after‑tax returns shown are not relevant if you hold your Fund shares through a tax‑deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account (IRA). After‑tax returns are shown for only one class of shares, and after‑tax returns for the other classes of shares will vary.
