APPROACH
A combined strategy created to deliver better outcomes
TCW Steel City (“Steel City”) is a private credit platform that combines the experience and resources of PNC Bank, one of the largest commercial banking institutions in the U.S., with TCW Private Credit, an investment platform that operates within TCW, a global asset management firm.
Steel City employs a life-of-investment approach, which provides greater alignment of interests and continuity of coverage from origination through portfolio management.
