Ethical Profile

Mixed.

TCW Strategic Income Fund Inc. (TSI.US) presents a mixed ethical profile. The fund experienced a data breach on December 22, 2023, allegedly by the LockBit threat actor, which prompted a reversion to backup systems. While reports suggest client data was not stolen, details on the breach's severity or TCW's security posture are unavailable. As an investment fund primarily focused on debt securities, its direct impact on many ethical values, such as public health, fair trade, or environmental practices, is considered neutral. There is insufficient evidence to assess its performance in areas like fair pay or economic opportunity.
