TCW Continues Strong Growth in Alternative Credit With Close of Third $400 Million CLO in 2024

Firm Has More Than Doubled Alternative Credit Assets Since 2020

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The TCW Group, a leading global asset manager, today announced the close of a $400 million collateralized loan obligation (CLO) fund, adding to the firm’s continued strong growth in alternative credit assets. The CLO, TCW CLO 2024-3, is secured primarily by broadly syndicated first-lien loans and is TCW’s third new issue CLO close in 2024.

Since 2020, TCW has more than doubled its alternative credit assets under management (AUM). TCW manages alternative credit across private credit, private asset-backed finance, CLO liabilities and CLO assets under management.

“TCW continues to make significant investments in its credit capabilities across both public and private markets,” said Jerry Cudzil, Fixed Income Generalist Portfolio Manager. “We are pleased to have top-tier partners that have helped accelerate the growth of our CLO business and expect to establish additional equity partnerships in 2025.”

TCW now manages 13 CLOs with over approximately $5.4 billion of dedicated CLO assets under management. In addition, TCW recently launched a dedicated CLO exchange-traded fund, the TCW AAA CLO ETF (Ticker: ACLO), that provides investors the opportunity to invest in AAA CLOs through an ETF.

“Over the course of 2024, we have seen heightened capital markets activity across our CLO platform which has included three new issues, two CLO resets and two refinancings,” said Drew Sweeney, Senior Portfolio Manager. “We expect to see strong growth in our CLO platform over the coming years and are grateful for the confidence investors place in our process and approach.”
