Management Discussions


For the year ended October 31, 1999, the TCW Galileo Core Fixed Income Fund
(the "Fund") returned 0.69% on its Institutional ("I") Class shares versus
0.53% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. For the Advisory ("N")
Class shares, the performance for the period March 1, 1999 (Commencement of
offering Advisory Class shares) through October 31, 1999 was 0.17% versus the
benchmark return of 0.72%. The performance of the Fund's two classes varies
because of timing and differing expenses.

Interest rates moved steadily higher during the year, continuing the relentless
move upward that began in October of last year. The yield on 10-year U.S.
Treasuries has risen 130 basis points so far this year, sufficient to make the
first three quarters of 1999 the second worst period in terms of the total
return of the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index since the inception of that index.

During the third quarter, the interest rate rise was caused in part by a
technical supply bulge in the corporate bond market relating to Y2K fears,
particularly when set against a still fundamentally bearish economic
background. Robust economic growth and a tight labor market both remain firmly
in tact, continuing to suggest the potential for increased inflation. As a
preemptive strike, the Federal Reserve Board increased two key interest rates
25 basis points in late August which negatively impacted the bond market.
Financial markets focused particularly on the tone of the Federal Reserve's
directive rather than the move itself, in an attempt to discern the likelihood
of still further rate hikes. The Federal Reserve Board's indication that they
had adopted a neutral stance eased market tensions briefly, but when fears of
an overheated economy and rising rates of inflation returned, the bond market
sell-off resumed.

Spread volatility this year has been extremely high. By early August, spreads
in most fixed income bond sectors had widened to the same levels seen during
last year's global financial crisis. In addition, correlations among the
various spread products have been very high; mortgages, corporates, and agency
debentures have all widened and tightened in tandem. One of the reasons that
general spread levels and correlations have increased is that Treasury
securities have become increasingly scarce. The budget surpluses of 1998-1999
have been the first back-to-back budget surpluses in 42 years. These surpluses
reduce the amount of outstanding Treasuries and, on the margin, make Treasury
securities expensive relative to competing spread products. Diminishing
Treasury supply has had a significant (though widely ignored) impact on the
composition of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index, down from 45% at the end of
1996. Over the same period of time mortgages rose to 34% from 30% and
corporates grew to 20% from 18% of the total index.

Other conditions in the marketplace also contributed to the widening of
spreads. A large volume of new issues in the corporate sector, fueled in part
by Y2K concerns, overwhelmed the market's demand for product and put pressure
on all fixed income securities. The market's equilibrium was thrown further off
balance when the underwriters and issuers of corporate bonds sold fixed rate
interest rate swaps to hedge their market exposure. This hedging activity
caused spreads on swaps to widen to historic levels which in turn led to wider
yield spreads on other fixed income products. Securities dealers further
contributed to the market's woes by maintaining lower levels of bond
inventories, a defensive business practice which led to fewer trades, made
price levels more difficult to gauge and ultimately widened bid-ask spreads in
almost all types of bonds. Thin trading volume also led to exaggerated market
movements and kept volatility high.

(1) Performance data includes the performance of the predecessor limited part-
    nership for periods before the Fund's registration became effective. The
    predecessor limited partnership was not registered under the Investment
    Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and, therefore was not sub-
    ject to certain investment restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act.
    If the limited partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, the lim-
    ited partnership's performance may have been lower.
(2) For the period March 1, 1999 (Commencement of offering of the Advisory
    Class shares) through October 31, 1999.

  TCW Galileo High Yield Bond Fund

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management Discussions (Continued)


The TCW Galileo High Yield Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 4.60% for the year
ended October 31, 1999 for its Institutional ("I") Class shares. The
conservatively structured Galileo High Yield Bond Fund outperformed its bench-
mark, the Salomon Brothers High Yield Cash Pay Index, which returned 2.79% dur-
ing this period. For the Advisory ("N") Class shares, the performance for the
period March 1, 1999 (Commencement of offering Advisory Class shares) through
October 31, 1999 was negative 0.24% versus the benchmark return of negative
1.82%. The performance of the Fund's two classes varies because of timing and
differing expenses.

The Fund is widely diversified consisting of 140 separate issuers within 31
separate industry groups. In the most recent fiscal year, the Fund benefited
from its concentration in the upper-tier of the high yield market as double-B
rated securities significantly outperformed lower rated securities during a pe-
riod of financial market volatility. The Fund's overweighting in the telecommu-
nications and automotive sectors enhanced performance in the latest year. Fur-
thermore, the Fund's underweighting in the healthcare and textiles sectors pos-
itively impacted performance during the period.

The Fund seeks to preserve principal while simultaneously providing a high
level of current income by investing in a well-diversified, upper-tier portfo-
lio of high yield bonds. The Fund emphasizes investments in companies that have
good prospects for improved operating results and debt ratings.

(/1/) Performance data includes the performance of the predecessor limited
      partnership for periods before the Fund's registration became effective.
      The predecessor limited partnership was not registered under the Invest-
      ment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and, therefore was not
      subject to certain investment restrictions that are imposed by the 1940
      Act. If the limited partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act,
      the limited partnership's performance may have been lower.

Management Discussions (Continued)

The TCW Galileo Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund (the "Fund") achieved returns
of 5.36% for the year ended October 31, 1999, outperforming the Salomon Broth-
ers 1-Year Treasury Index return of 4.15%. Interest rates moved steadily higher
over the past year for numerous reasons including Y2K concerns, a heavy new is-
sue calendar, and the weakening dollar and inflation worries. As a preemptive
strike, the Federal Reserve Board increased rates in late June and then again
in late August. The mortgage sector was a top performing, high grade fixed in-
come asset class over the past 12 months in spite of extremely high spread vol-
atility. Mortgage spreads widened along with spreads in swaps and corporate
bonds until early August, when the yield on the current coupon mortgage reached
185 basis points over the yield on the 10-year Treasury, before tightening
slightly. Some of this spread volatility was due to the large volume of new is-
sues in the corporate sector, which put pressure on all fixed income securi-
ties, including mortgages. Bid-ask spreads on bonds also widened and thin trad-
ing volume led to exaggerated market movements, which kept volatility high and
drove yield spreads wider.

The recent decision of the Federal Reserve to accept mortgage pass-throughs as
collateral in repurchase transactions provided a catalyst to the performance of
the mortgage sector. Improving supply and prepayment trends will also play a
positive role in mortgage performance going forward. Nonetheless, we expect the
performance of the mortgage sector to remain choppy over the next several weeks
due to lingering Y2K concerns, a weakening dollar and inflation worries. The
mortgage sector is fundamentally sound however, and mortgages are still cheap
relative to historical valuations. Today's relatively higher yield levels com-
bined with our continued focus on security structure also foster our positive
outlook on the mortgage sector and the performance of your account.

Liquidity constraints typically emerge in the fourth quarter of every year.
This year we are forecasting even more constraints than usual due to Y2K con-
cerns and defensive positioning by many investors. For these reasons, we are
asking our clients to consider their year end cash requirements now so that we
can be notified of any withdrawals or liquidations at the earliest possible
date. We believe execution costs and market inefficiencies have the potential
to increase significantly as the year-end approaches and strongly discourage
last minute sales.

(1) Performance data includes the performance of the predecessor limited part-
    nership for periods before the Fund's registration became effective. The
    predecessor limited partnership was not registered under the Investment
    Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and, therefore was not sub-
    ject to certain investment restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act.
    If the limited partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, the lim-
    ited partnership's performance may have been lower.

  TCW Galileo Total Return Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management Discussions (continued)


The TCW Galileo Total Return Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund (the "Fund")
achieved returns of 0.20% for the year ended October 31, 1999, underperforming
the Lehman Brothers Mortgage Index return of 2.99% for its institutional ("I")
class shares. For the Advisory ("N") Class shares, the performance for the
period March 1, 1999 (Commencement of offering Advisory Class shares ) through
October 31, 1999 was negative 0.69% versus the benchmark return of positive
1.73%. The performance of the Fund's two classes varies because of timing and
differing expenses.

Interest rates moved steadily higher over the past year for numerous reasons
including Y2K concerns, a heavy new issue calendar, and the weakening dollar
and inflation worries. As a preemptive strike, the Federal Reserve Board
increased rates in late June and then again in late August. The mortgage sector
was a top performing high grade, fixed income asset class over the past year in
spite of extremely high spread volatility. Mortgage spreads widened along with
spreads in swaps and corporate bonds until early August, when the yield on the
current coupon mortgage reached 185 basis points over the yield on the 10-year
Treasury, before tightening slightly. Some of this spread volatility was due to
the large volume of new issues in the corporate sector, which put pressure on
all fixed income securities, including mortgages. Bid-ask spreads on bonds also
widened and thin trading volume led to exaggerated market movements, which kept
volatility high and drove yield spreads wider.

The recent decision of the Federal Reserve to accept mortgage pass-throughs as
collateral in repurchase transactions provided a catalyst to the performance of
the mortgage sector. Improving supply and prepayment trends will also play a
positive role in mortgage performance going forward. Nonetheless, we expect the
performance of the mortgage sector to remain choppy over the next several weeks
due to lingering Y2K concerns, a weakening dollar and inflation worries. The
mortgage sector is fundamentally sound however, and mortgages are still cheap
relative to historical valuations. Today's relatively higher yield levels
combined with our continued focus on security structure also foster our
positive outlook on the mortgage sector and the performance of your account.

Liquidity constraints typically emerge in the fourth quarter of every year.
This year we are forecasting even more constraints than usual due to Y2K
concerns and defensive positioning by many investors. For these reasons, we are
asking our clients to consider their year-end cash requirements now so that we
can be notified of any withdrawals or liquidations at the earliest possible
date. We believe execution costs and market inefficiencies have the potential
to increase significantly as the year-end approaches and strongly discourage
last minute sales.

As of March 1, 1999, nine funds (TCW Galileo Select Equities Fund, TCW Galileo
Large Cap Value Fund, TCW Galileo Large Cap Growth Fund, TCW Galileo Aggressive
Growth Equities Fund, TCW Galileo Small Cap Growth Fund, TCW Galileo European
Equities Fund, TCW Galileo Core Fixed Income Fund, TCW Galileo Total Return
Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund and TCW Galileo High Yield Bond Fund) commenced
offering two classes of shares, Institutional Class shares and Advisory Class
shares. Shares of each class of the Funds represent an equal pro rata interest
in the Funds and generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liq-
uidation, and other rights. The Institutional Class shares are offered at the
current net asset value. The Advisory Class shares are also offered at the cur-
rent net asset value, but are subject to fees imposed under a distribution plan
adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

Note 2 -- Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies which are in con-
formity with generally accepted accounting principles and which are consist-
ently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assump-
tions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial state-
ments

Principles of Accounting: The Funds use the accrual method of accounting for
financial reporting purposes.

Security Valuations: The value of securities held in the TCW Galileo Money Mar-
ket Fund is determined by using the amortized cost method applied to each indi-
vidual security unless, due to special circumstances, the use of such a method
would result in a valuation that does not approximate fair market value. All
other securities, including the bond fund securities, for which over-the-
counter market quotations are readily available, are valued at the latest bid
price prior to the time of valuation.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including
circumstances under which it is determined by the Advisor that sale or bid
prices are not reflective of a security's market value, are valued at their
fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and un-
der the general supervision of the Company's Board of Directors.

For Funds other than TCW Galileo Money Market Fund, short-term debt securities
with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued
at amortized cost. Other short-term debt securities are valued on a marked-to-
market basis until such time as they reach a remaining maturity of 60 days,
whereupon they will be valued at amortized value using their value on the 61st
day prior to maturity.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income: Security transactions are
recorded as of the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. The TCW Galileo Core Fixed Income Fund and the TCW Galileo High Yield
Bond Fund recognize as interest income discounts on securities purchased using
a constant yield to maturity accretion method. Original issue discount is
accreted as interest income using a constant yield to maturity method. Premiums
on securities purchased are not amortized, except for mortgage backed
obligations for which amortization has been elected as allowed by federal
income tax

                                                                            41

Note 2 -- Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

regulations and securities held by the TCW Galileo Core Fixed Income Fund.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are recorded on the
basis of specific identification.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of each Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment
securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies, are
translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and
expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective
dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are
included in the Statements of Operations with the related net realized gain
(loss). Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign
exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses
are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income for federal income tax
purposes. It is not practicable to separately identify that portion of gains
and losses of the Funds that arise as a result of changes in the exchange rates
from the fluctuations that arise from changes in market prices of investments
during the year.

Dollar Roll Transactions: The Funds may enter into dollar roll transactions
with financial institutions to take advantage of opportunities in the mortgage
backed securities market. A dollar roll transaction involves a simultaneous
sale by the Fund of securities that it holds with an agreement to repurchase
substantially similar securities at an agreed upon price and date, but
generally will be collateralized at time of delivery by different pools of
mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. These
transactions are accounted for as financing transactions as opposed to sales
and purchases. The differential between the sale price and the repurchase price
is recorded as deferred income and recognized between the settlement dates of
the sale and repurchase. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the
Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the
securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve risk that the market value of
the security sold by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the
security. There were no such transactions outstanding as of October 31, 1999.

Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements secured by
U.S. Government obligations and in other securities. Securities pledged as col-
lateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Funds' custodian bank until
maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements ensure that
the market value of the collateral is sufficient in the event of default; how-
ever, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agree-
ments, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.

Security Lending: On December 17, 1998, the Funds' Board of Directors approved
securities lending to qualified brokers. The loans are collateralized at all
times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to the market
value of the securities on loan. As with any extensions of credit, the Funds
may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral
if the borrowers of the securities fail financially. The Funds receive compen-
sation for lending their securities (See Note 3).

Options: Premiums received from call options written are recorded as a liabili-
ty. The amount of the liability is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current
market value of the option written. If the option expires unexercised, premiums
received are realized as a gain at expiration date. If the position is closed
prior to expiration, a gain or loss is realized based on premiums received,
less the cost to close the option. When an option is exercised, premiums re-
ceived are added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and
a gain or loss is realized.

Call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio secu-
rities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is
increased by premiums paid. There were no option contracts entered into during
the year ended October 31, 1999.

Allocation of Operating Activity: Investment income, common expenses and real-
ized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the classes of shares
of the Funds based on the relative net assets of each class. Distribution fees,
which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that
class' operations. All other expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred on a
specific identification basis.

Net Asset Value: The Net Asset Value of each Fund's shares is determined by di-
viding the net assets of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding
shares on each business day as of 9:00 A.M. Pacific Standard Time for the TCW
Galileo Money Market Fund and as of 1:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time for the
other Funds.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income of the TCW
Galileo Money Market Fund are declared each business day. The other fixed in-
come funds declare and pay, or reinvest, dividends from net investment income
monthly. Distribution of any net long-term and net short-term capital gains
earned by a Fund will be distributed at least annually.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income
tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign cur-
rency transactions, market discount, losses deferred to wash sales and excise
tax regulations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to share-
holder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect net investment income per share. Undistributed net investment income
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is
distributed in the following year.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the accompanying financial statements re-
quires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.

Note 4 -- Federal Income Taxes

It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all
of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to
its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. At
October 31, 1999, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments for
federal income tax purposes was as follows (Amounts in Thousands):

    annual ordinary operating expenses of the Fund to 0.40% of net assets as

    not been taken, total annualized operating expenses as a percentage of

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of TCW Galileo Funds, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of TCW Galileo Money Market Fund, TCW
Galileo Core Fixed Income Fund, TCW Galileo High Yield Bond Fund, TCW Galileo
Mortgage Backed Securities Fund, and TCW Galileo Total Return Mortgage Backed
Securities Fund (the "Galileo U.S. Fixed Income Funds") (five of twenty funds
comprising TCW Galileo Funds, Inc.) as of October 31, 1999 and the related
statements of operations for the periods then ended, the statements of changes
in net assets for each of the periods ended October 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
financial highlights for each of the respective periods in the periods ended
October 31, 1999. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. Where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective Galileo U.S. Fixed Income Funds as of October 31, 1999 and
the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the
financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
