  • The firm, which oversees more than $200 billion, will provide privately arranged debt to borrowers for core real estate and value-add credit, Chief Executive Officer Katie Koch said in an interview. Los Angeles-based TCW is also in the process of hiring a team to help run the new real estate business, she said.

Katie Koch, the CEO of TCW Group Inc., announced that the firm is expanding into the private real estate debt market. This move is part of TCW's strategy to diversify its offerings and capitalize on opportunities within the real estate sector, particularly as traditional financing becomes more challenging to obtain. Koch highlighted that this new venture will focus on providing debt solutions for real estate projects, aiming to fill a gap left by banks that have tightened lending standards. The initiative is expected to leverage TCW's existing expertise in credit and real estate, offering tailored financing solutions to developers and property owners amidst a backdrop of economic uncertainty and shifting market dynamics.
