PNC Financial, TCW announce partnership
The PNC Financial Services Group and the TCW Group, a global asset manager, announced they are partnering to deliver private credit solutions to middle market companies. The PNC and TCW partnership formalizes and expands more than 15 years of collaboration between PNC and TCW, combining both institutions' credit expertise: TCW's 23-year track record of successfully originating, underwriting and managing direct lending portfolios; and the strengths of PNC's national client relationships and its leading middle market lending franchise. The new joint strategy will focus primarily on directly originated, senior secured cash-flow and asset-based loans to both sponsored and non-sponsored middle market companies.
