TCW Fires a Fresh Shot in Gundlach's Direction


The feud between TCW [see profile] and its ex-chief investment officer Jeffrey Gundlach doesn't appear to be ending any time soon. Yesterday, TCW filed a complaint against DoubleLine Funds Trust. The suit contains accusations of misappropriation of trade secrets and unfair competition, Bloomberg reports.

The suit marks the latest chapter in the drama surrounding Gundlach's ouster from TCW and the subsequent launch of DoubleLine Capital [see profile].

TCW ousted Gundlach on December 4, 2009. Two weeks later, Gundlach announced the formation of DoubleLine. In April of this year, the firm launched its first two mutual funds.

TCW in January filed suit against Gundlach and a handful of other individuals. Gundlach launched a countersuit in February.
