Below, we provide the Staff’s comments and the Company’s responses. Capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as in the Registration Statement, unless otherwise indicated. Accounting Comments 1. Staff Comment: As of the date of the Amendment, please confirm whether the gross proceeds of $105,152,417 million received in connection with the Initial Closing Date has been received as a cash inflow or if it remains an unfunded commitment. Response: The Company respectfully submits that the proceeds received in connection with the Initial Closing Date remain an unfunded commitment. 2. Staff Comment: Per Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, in the Company’s first filing on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as applicable, please identify who the Company’s chief operating decisionmaker is. Response: The Company respectfully submits that such disclosure will be made in the applicable filing. 3. Staff Comment: With respect to the statement in the Notes to Financial Statements that the Company will not bear more than $3,000,000 for organization and offering expenses in connection with the offering of the Units through the Closing Period, please confirm if the $3,000,000 noted represents estimated organization and offering expenses costs or a cap on organization and offering expenses. If representing a cap, please explain who will bear expenses above that cap, and if such cap is subject to recoupment. Response: The Company respectfully submits that the $3,000,000 noted represents a cap on organization and offering expenses while the Company is a private fund and up until the point of conversion into a Delaware Statutory Trust. Any organization and offering expenses in excess of $3,000,000 shall be borne by TCW PT Management Company LLC up until the point of conversion into a Delaware Statutory Trust and are not eligible for recoupment. After the Company converts into a Delaware Statutory Trust, there will no longer be a cap on organization and offering expenses and all organization and offering expenses shall be borne by the Company. 4.

Please confirm that, on a prospective basis, financial statements will be provided in accordance with Regulation S-X and that Notes to Financial Statements will include all applicable definitions (e.g., cash and cash equivalents, related party transactions).
