“We are pleased to be adding senior talent to our long-tenured fixed income team,” TCW group managing director and co-director of fixed-income Laird Landmann said in the release. “Credit is an increasingly important element in the overall market as we continue to see signs that we are in the later stages of the credit cycle. Both Melinda and Drew bring deep experience to TCW, and we look forward to their contributions.”
