Three days after TCW's ousted chief investment officer

Exactly a week ago, TCW made the twin announcements that it was acquiring
Metropolitan West Asset Management and firing Gundlach. MetWest CIO and co-founder Rivelle and
several investment staffers became TCW employees effective immediately, taking on portfolio management
duties for TCW's bond portfolios.
The
Wall Street Journal published an
article Friday on the portfolio management transition, noting that MetWest
staffers worked over the weekend to get acquainted with all the portfolio holdings.
By the end of Tuesday, investors had withdrawn about $2 billion from the TCW Total Return Bond Fund

Meanwhile, as previously reported, the Treasury has suspended a fund TCW raised as part of the
Public-Private Investment Program.
