The TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (TSI) operates as a closed-end, balanced mutual fund, originally established by The TCW Group, Inc. Its investment operations are directed by TCW Investment Management Company. The fund strategically allocates capital across both public equity and fixed-income markets within the United States.
