Gundlach, 50, has yet to make up his mind on whether to form a new company or join an established firm.

Meanwhile, Gundlach's departure has caused the Treasury to suspend a fund that TCW raised as part of the Public-Private Investment Program. The fund, which had raised more than $1 billion, was to purchase banks' toxic assets. The Treasury's decision was reported by the Times, The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg.

“Treasury is currently evaluating its options as an equity and debt investor,” Treasury spokeswoman Meg Reilly was quoted in the media reports as saying.

In other TCW news, Bloomberg reported that TCW had placed $450 million of mortgage securities on sale in an auction Tuesday afternoon.
