"This new relationship brings to TCW an accomplished and respected team of investors with an outstanding track record that spans 24 years," said David Lippman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TCW. "Like TCW, Scoggin made its mark as a research-intensive firm that takes a bottom-up approach to investing and has a strong emphasis on risk management."
Under the agreement, Scoggin co-founders, Craig Effron and Curtis Schenker, and Scoggin's head of distressed investments Dev Chodry, who collectively have decades of investment and portfolio management experience, will remain employees of Scoggin. Therefore, they will maintain their current responsibilities at the Scoggin funds while also managing the TCW/Scoggin funds.
"I'm very happy to team with Scoggin as we move to expand our alternatives capabilities and product offerings," said Ravich. "Our client base will now have access to an accomplished team of professionals with a long and proven track record of outperformance."
