To Our Valued Shareholders


		Megan McClellan President and Principal Executive Officer

To the shareholders of the TCW Strategic Income Fund:

Executive Summary

TCW is pleased to present the 2023 annual report for the TCW Strategic Income Fund (“TSI” or the “Fund”). TSI is a multi-asset class

closed-end

fund managed by TCW Investment Management Company LLC and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker TSI. For the year, shares of TSI rose by 7.15% while the Fund’s net asset value (i.e., value of the underlying assets) increased by 12.57%. The Fund’s twelve-month price-based return was below the

NAV-based

return, as the discount between NAV and share price grew from

-6.3%

at the beginning of the period to

-9.1%

by December 31, 2023.

Over the past four quarters, the Fund paid dividends of six cents per share each quarter, as well as a special cash payment of 11.5 cents per share. This represents an annualized rate of approximately 36 cents per share, contributing to a realized

12-month

trailing yield of approximately 7.7%, as of 12/31/2023. As yield is a function of a number of parameters, the

go-forward

yield of TSI will likely differ from the trailing figure.

Management Commentary

En route to a third consecutive down year for U.S. fixed income, things were looking grim in

mid-October

as the second quarter’s runup in rates persisted until late in the month. Reflecting the market’s adoption and pricing of a

“higher-for-longer”

view on the Fed, the

all-important

10-Year

span of the Treasury yield curve saw an

over-160

basis point (bps) rise from the early-year lows accompanying the regional banking turmoil. However, almost immediately following the moment on October 19th that the entire U.S. Treasury curve breached 5% for the first time since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), a very sharp rally ensued and lasted through

year-end.

Yields fell anywhere from 90 to 115 bps in the last two and a half months of the year, and in doing so, delivered a 9.3% gain to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index over the same period, turning 2023 performance decidedly positive. Ironically, it was late July when the Fed last raised rates, bringing the cumulative cycle hike to 525 bps, but the market continued to sell off. Credit this Fed regime for the work it’s done on the credibility front through a difficult 2022 to make the market heed them, seemingly the antithesis of the past

30-ish

years. The higher yield curve and its prospective impact, along with continued moderation in inflation, finally provided some opportunity for a dovish pivot. This was most prominently highlighted by the December FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting, which came with a new “dot plot” that showed no additional hikes for the first time since March 2021, leaving little doubt that the Fed’s tightening cycle was over.

The S&P 500 Index also soared in the final months of the year, bringing the 2023 gain to over 26%, though notably dispersion was markedly low as the “Magnificent 7” – a group of large, high-profile tech stocks in the Index – alone gained nearly 110%. As prefaced above, fixed income returns were weighed down by higher yields through October, before reversing course on a rate rally. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index clawed back what was until that point a 3.4%

year-to-date

loss to finish 2023 decidedly in the green. The fourth quarter produced a 6.8% total return for fixed income assets broadly, while the annual period netted a 5.5% gain that was 140 bps ahead of duration-matched Treasuries. U.S. investment grade credit, which gained 8.2% for the year (and for the fourth quarter), saw yield premiums decline to a low level of 93 bps over Treasuries. Meanwhile, high yield corporates delivered a resounding 13.4% return for the year with nearly 890 bps of positive excess returns. Among securitized products, agency MBS (mortgage-backed securities) staged an impressive comeback in the final two months of 2023 as rates fell, with

top-line

performance for the year coming in at 5.1% with 68 bps of excess returns. However, the unusual volatility of last year is masked by those figures, as the current coupon mortgage spread round-tripped across a 75 bps range (from a low of 119 bps in February, to twin peaks of 194 bps in May and 189 bps in October).

Non-agency

MBS also fared well, with home prices much more resilient than the market

expected over the past two years, despite a nearly 500 bps rise in mortgage rates over this period. In CMBS (commercial mortgage-backed securities), headline concerns surrounding office collateral property values pushed yield premiums higher for the year, particularly private label issues, though the sector returned nearly 5.5% for the annual period (driven largely by the fourth quarter rally). Finally, asset-backed securities gained 5.5% and benefitted from their largely floating rate structure and shorter durations for most of the year, though cracks began to appear in

non-residential

consumer debt where performance is expected to deteriorate.

The Economy and Market Ahead

While the headline narrative is one of a still-resilient economy, there are nascent signs of weakness in the U.S., which we believe could be the first stage of an economic hard landing. The cumulative effect of 525 bps of Fed hikes, which went on well past the initial point of yield curve inversion, should have meaningful consequences for the U.S. economy and lead to a recession within the first half of 2024. Signs of stress are already apparent in lower-income cohorts, where indicators such as credit card usage, loss rates on unsecured consumer loans, GNMA (Government National Mortgage Association) delinquencies, and subprime auto loan delinquencies signal caution, and expectations are for financial stress to move up the income spectrum as the economy continues to slow, with a weakening labor market adding additional challenges to consumers. In fact, the labor market remains the key to wage deceleration and a potential hard landing going forward. The Fed clearly wants to keep rates as high as they can for as long as they can to ensure that the inflation beast has been well and truly tamed, which implies a later start to the easing cycle. However, once the easing cycle starts, it is likely to go faster than both the Fed and markets currently project, as the Fed will likely have to ease aggressively to help mitigate the impact of a recession. Regardless of the type of landing, rates are set to come down, particularly in the

front-end,

leading to a steeper curve.

Modest leverage can be utilized by the Fund through a Line of Credit facility. A very small amount of the $70 million commitment was tapped during the first half of 2023 as opportunities arose

mid-way

through the second quarter, but was entirely paid back by

mid-July.

Management Discussion

Notwithstanding a particularly challenging October, the TCW Strategic Income Fund (TSI) posted strong performance in the fourth quarter to bring returns for the

one-year

period to 9.8%

(NAV-based

return), approximately 50 basis points (bps) ahead of the Bloomberg

3-Month

U.S. Treasury Bellwethers Index + 400 bps. Relative performance benefitted from the positive duration position, which contributed significantly in the fourth quarter as rates fell, boosting the full-year impact. Meanwhile, the allocation to fixed income spread sectors boosted full-year performance as growing investor optimism for the potential of a soft landing and resilient macro data prints drove yield premiums lower across fixed income sectors throughout the year. Corporate credit, in particular, saw outperformance relative to duration-adjusted Treasuries in both the investment grade and high yield cohorts, rewarding the Fund’s broader corporate market beta exposure. More specifically, notable contributions came from senior issues of large banks and high-quality communications names. Consistent with disciplined value investing, the outsized compression of corporate yield spreads over the latter half of the year led to a trimming of the Fund’s corporate exposure, crystalizing gains and affording the Fund buy liquidity to redeploy upon future pricing and spread dislocations. Turning to securitized products, residential MBS constituted the largest position throughout the year, weighing on performance for most of the period given the sizeable allocation to agency MBS and historical cheapness with which the sector traded for the first ten months of the year. However, the fall in rates and decline in volatility at

year-end

significantly benefitted agency-backed mortgages and turned what had been a headwind to Fund returns into a tailwind. Meanwhile,

non-agency

MBS issues, owing largely to their floating rate structures and minimal interest rate durations, had a stable positive performance impact despite the year’s elevated rate volatility as yield spreads tightened across collateral types and deal structures. Similarly, CLO (collateralized loan obligations) holdings contributed for the year as their floating rate nature mitigated the impact of rising rates while falling yield premiums helped propel the sector to strong returns. Finally, equity holdings in the Fund contributed overall due to energy, banking, and REIT (real estate investment trust) names, while equity exposure in the

non-cyclicals

space were a small drag.

Duration positioning increased steadily throughout 2023 as yields moved higher, reaching a

year-to-date

high of 3.5 years in October as rates peaked before passively shortening in the final two months of the year from agency MBS exposure to finish at approximately 3.0 years. Sector positioning is focused on high-quality securitized products, particularly residential MBS. Agency MBS represents attractive relative value and offers considerable total return potential even after a sizable

year-end

rally, informing continued conviction in the space and a considerable overweight.

Non-agency

MBS also exhibits good yields and solid fundamentals as years of amortization and housing price appreciation have built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, while an overall lag in housing supply in the decade-plus since the GFC has been supportive as well. Commercial MBS is a sector with both prospective volatility and opportunity; market liquidity and demand remain plentiful for senior issues backed by trophy properties, while deals backed by weaker collateral are likely to see challenges, including principal losses and falling prices on continued materialization of commercial market stress, especially in more subordinated tranches. Thus, Fund holdings reflect more targeted positions, to provide greater comfort with the risk profile of underlying collateral. Among ABS, we expect consumer stress to migrate up the quality spectrum to those in the middle-income cohorts as the economy slows in 2024, making us wary of weaker structures and collateral types, though there are pockets of value in select subsectors such as CLOs and single-family rentals. While securitized products offer more compensation for the potential risks associated with a recessionary environment, the corporate market does not, with yield premiums at historically low levels. It is our view

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Management Discussion (Continued)

that the risk of spreads tightening meaningfully from current levels is small, but the risk of significant widening is substantial. Thus, positioning remains cautious in both the investment grade and high yield space, focused on defensive sectors and select financials, including large money center banks, though we expect there to be ample opportunities to add to the corporate basis in 2024 when valuations are more compelling.

Dividend Distribution Discussion

The goal of the Fund’s distribution policy is to maintain a stable payout without having to return capital to investors. A stable dividend policy will inevitably result in income surplus or deficit at the end of the year given variations in the sources of the Fund’s distributable income. The Fund maintains a modest reserve balance such that an income surplus remains at the end of the year as opposed to a shortfall.

TCW will continue to monitor the Fund’s income reserve for increases in surplus or shortfall and make adjustments to the quarterly dividend as warranted, with the goal of minimizing the dispersion of the quarterly dividend amounts and maintaining the dividend’s stability.

Options Disclosure

The Fund may from time to time, (1) write (sell) covered call options on common stocks that it owns or has an immediate right to acquire through conversion or exchange of other securities on an amount up to 5% of its total assets; or (2) purchase put options on such common stocks on an amount up to 5% of its total assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 — Organization

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on January 13, 1987 as a diversified,

closed-end

investment management company and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Its shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TSI. The Fund commenced operations on March 5, 1987. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a total return comprised of current income and capital appreciation, and it seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a wide range of securities including convertible securities, marketable equity securities, investment-grade debt securities, high-yield debt securities, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Securities”), repurchase agreements, mortgage-related securities, asset-backed securities, money market securities, and other securities and derivative instruments without limit believed by the Fund’s investment advisor to be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. TCW Investment Management Company LLC (the “Advisor”) is the investment advisor to the Fund and is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and which are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is considered an investment company under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. Subsequent events, if any, have been evaluated through the date of issuance in the preparation of the financial statements.

Principles of Accounting:

The Fund uses the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes.

Security Valuations:

Securities listed or traded on the NYSE and other stock exchanges were valued at the latest sale price on the exchange. Securities traded on the NASDAQ stock market (“NASDAQ”) were valued during the period using official closing prices as reported by NASDAQ, which may not have been the last sale price. All other securities for which

over-the-counter

(“OTC”) market quotations were readily available, including short-term securities, swap agreements and forward currency exchange contracts, were valued with prices furnished by independent pricing services or by broker-dealers.

Pursuant to Rule

2a-5

under the 1940 Act, the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”, and each member thereof, a “Director”) has designated the Advisor as the “valuation designee” with respect to the fair valuation of the Fund’s portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and periodic reporting to the Board. Fair valued securities are those for which market quotations were not readily available, including in circumstances under which it was determined by the Advisor that prices received were not reflective of their market values.

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Fund discloses investments in its financial statements in a three-tier hierarchy. This hierarchy is utilized to establish classification of fair value measurements based on inputs. Inputs that go into fair value measurement refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

December 31, 2023

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.


Level 1 —		quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2 —		other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 —		significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized as Level 3.

In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements:

Descriptions of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)

. The fair value of ABS and MBS is estimated based on pricing models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche including, but not limited to, the prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they would be categorized as Level 3.

Corporate bonds

. The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, or credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. Corporate bonds are generally categorized as

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; in instances where prices, spreads, or any of the other aforementioned key inputs are unobservable, they are categorized as Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Equity securities.

Securities are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are generally categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Restricted securities issued by publicly held companies are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; if a discount is applied and significant, they are categorized as Level 3. Restricted securities held in

non-public

entities are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore the inputs are unobservable. Certain foreign securities that are fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign currency contracts

. The fair values of foreign currency contracts are derived from indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. To the extent that these factors can be observed, foreign currency contracts are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts

. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the exchange on which they are traded. They are categorized as Level 1.

Government and agency securities

. Government and agency securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. Accordingly, government and agency securities are normally categorized as Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the liquidity and transparency of the market.

Interest rate swaps.

Interest rate swaps are fair valued using pricing models that take into account, among other factors, index spread curves, nominal values, modified duration values and cash flows. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of credit default swaps are categorized as Level 2; otherwise, the fair values are categorized as Level 3.

Money market funds.

Money market funds are

open-end

mutual funds that invest in short-term debt securities. To the extent that these funds are valued based upon the reported net asset value (“NAV”), they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Municipal bonds.

Municipal bonds are fair valued based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades,

bid-wanted

lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of municipal bonds are categorized as Level 2; otherwise, the fair values are categorized as Level 3.

Options contracts.

Option contracts traded on securities exchanges are fair valued using market mid prices; as such, they are categorized as Level 1. Option contracts traded OTC are fair valued based on pricing models and incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for

in-the-money,

at-the-money,

and

out-of-the-money

contracts on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair value of OTC option contracts would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise, the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Restricted securities.

Restricted securities, including illiquid Rule 144A securities, issued by

non-public

entities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore the inputs are unobservable. Any other restricted securities valued similar to publicly traded securities may be categorized as Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether a discount is applied and significant to the fair value.

Short-term investments.

Short-term investments are valued using market price quotations, and are categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2023 in valuing the Fund’s investments is listed after the Investments by Sector table.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income:

Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the

ex-dividend

date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

basis. REIT dividends are recorded as income for accounting purposes. Any portion that is return of capital will be reflected as a tax adjustment upon receiving annual tax documentation from the REIT. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded on the basis of specific identification.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation:

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) foreign currency denominated securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Distributions:

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on each

ex-dividend

date. The Fund declared and paid or reinvested dividends quarterly under an income-based distribution policy. The income-based distribution policy has a stated goal of providing quarterly distributions out of the Fund’s accumulated undistributed net investment income and/or other sources subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The source for the dividend can come from net investment income and net realized capital gains measured on a fiscal year basis. Any portion of the distribution that exceeds income and capital gains will be treated as a return of capital. Under certain conditions, U.S. federal tax regulations cause some or all of the return of capital to be taxed as ordinary income. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences may be primarily due to differing treatments for market discount and premium, losses recognized on structured debt, losses deferred due to wash sales, foreign currency gains and losses, and spillover distributions. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to

paid-in

capital and may affect net investment income per share.

Derivative Instruments:

Derivatives are financial instruments which are valued based on the values of one or more indicators, such as a security, asset, currency, interest rate, or index. Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. A derivative contract may result in a

mark-to-market

loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. It is possible that a derivative transaction will result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested. The Fund may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.

Counterparty Credit Risk:

Derivative contracts may be exposed to counterparty credit risk. Losses can occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund.

With exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

For OTC derivatives, the Fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with each counterparty. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

Collateral Requirements:

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the

mark-to-market

amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral pledged or received by the Fund.

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Non-cash

collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold, typically $250,000 or $500,000, before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of each business day and the collateral is transferred on the next business day. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty

non-performance.

The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that the Advisor believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund has implemented the disclosure requirements pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

No. 2011-11,

Master Agreements and Netting Arrangements

. The Fund is party to various agreements, including but not limited to International Swaps and Derivatives Association Agreements and related Credit Support Annex, Master Repurchase Agreements, and Master Securities Forward Transactions Agreements (collectively “Master Agreements”), which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. These Master Agreements generally include provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and certain events of default or termination. These Master Agreements also include provisions for netting arrangements that help reduce credit and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions (“netting arrangements”). The netting arrangements are generally tied to credit-related events that, if triggered, would cause an event of default or termination giving a Fund or counterparty the right to terminate early and cause settlement, on a net basis, of all transactions under the applicable Master Agreement. In the event of an early termination as a result of an event of default under the Master Agreement, the total value exposure of all transactions will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable or payable that would be due from or to the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Credit related events include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy, failure to make timely payments, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, a material decline in net assets, decline in credit rating or repudiation/ moratorium. Any election made by a counterparty to early terminate the transactions under a Master Agreement could have a material adverse impact on a Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s overall exposure to credit risk subject to netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at

pre-arranged

exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given Fund exceeds a specified threshold, net of collateral already in place, typically $250,000 or $500,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. Collateral under the Master Agreements is usually in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury Bills but could include other types of securities. If permitted under the Master Agreement, certain funds may rehypothecate cash collateral received from a counterparty. The value of all derivative transactions outstanding under a Master Agreement is calculated daily to determine the amount of collateral to be received or pledged by the counterparty. Posting of collateral for OTC derivative transactions are covered under

tri-party

collateral agreements between the Fund, the Fund’s custodian, and each counterparty. Collateral for centrally cleared derivatives transactions are posted with the applicable derivatives clearing organization.

Note 3 — Portfolio Investments

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities:

The Fund may invest in MBS, which represent interests in pools of mortgages in which payments of both principal and interest on the securities are generally made monthly, in effect “passing through” monthly payments made by borrowers on the residential or commercial mortgage loans which underlie the securities (net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities). Mortgage pass-through securities differ from other forms of debt securities, which normally provide for periodic payment of interest in fixed amounts with principal payments at maturity or specified call dates. The Fund may also invest in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by residential or commercial mortgage loans or residential or commercial mortgage pass-through securities. Interest and principal are generally paid monthly. CMOs may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or private mortgage pass-through securities but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or Federal National Mortgage Corporation (Fannie Mae). The issuer of a series of CMOs may elect to be treated for tax purposes as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit. CMOs are structured into multiple classes, each bearing a different stated maturity. Monthly payment of principal received from the pool of underlying mortgages, including prepayments, is first returned to investors

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

December 31, 2023

Note 3 — Portfolio Investments (Continued)

holding the shortest maturity class. Investors holding the longer maturity classes usually receive principal only after shorter classes have been retired. An investor may be partially protected against a sooner than desired return of principal because of the sequential payments. The Fund may invest in stripped MBS. Stripped MBS are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal only or “PO” class). The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities held by the Fund at December 31, 2023 are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, To Be Announced (“TBA”) and Forward Commitment Transactions:

The Fund may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment transactions in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security or to adjust the interest rate exposure of the Fund’s existing portfolio. In when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment transactions, the Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. Although the Fund does not pay for the securities or start earning interest on them until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. If the Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased on a when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment basis, there may be a loss, and the Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment.

Prior to settlement of these transactions, the value of the subject securities will fluctuate with market conditions. In addition, because the Fund is not required to pay for when-issued, delayed-delivery, TBA or forward commitment securities until the delivery date, they may result in a form of leverage to the extent the Fund does not set aside liquid assets to cover the commitment. To guard against this deemed leverage, the Fund monitors the obligations under these transactions on a daily basis and ensures that the Fund has sufficient liquid assets to cover them.

Repurchase Agreements:

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). In a repurchase agreement, the Fund purchases a security from a counterparty who agrees to repurchase the same security at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. The Fund had no repurchase agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

Securities Lending:

The Fund may lend its securities to qualified brokers. The loans must be collateralized at all times primarily with cash although the Fund can accept money market instruments or U.S.

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 3 — Portfolio Investments (Continued)

Government securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with any extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral if the borrowers of the securities fail financially. The Fund earns additional income for lending its securities by investing the cash collateral in short-term investments. The Fund did not lend any securities during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Derivatives:

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts:

The Fund enters into forward currency exchange contracts as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Forward currency exchange contracts are

marked-to-market

daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Outstanding forward currency exchange contracts at December 31, 2023 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures Contracts:

The Fund may enter into futures contracts.

The Fund may seek to manage a variety of different risks through the use of futures contracts, such as interest rate risk, equity price risk, and currency risk. The Fund may use index futures to hedge against broad market risks to its portfolio or to gain broad market exposure. Securities index futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell units of a securities index at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made, and are settled in cash. Positions in futures may be closed out only on an exchange or board of trade which provides a secondary market for such futures. Because futures contracts are exchange-traded, they typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. Parties to a futures contract are not required to post the entire notional amount of the contract, but rather a small percentage of that amount (by way of margin), both at the time they enter into futures transactions, and then on a daily basis if their positions decline in value; as a result, futures contracts are highly leveraged. Such payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Because futures markets are highly leveraged, they can be extremely volatile, and there can be no assurance that the pricing of a futures contract will correlate precisely with the pricing of the asset or index underlying it or the asset or liability of the Fund that is the subject of the hedge. It may not always be possible for the Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to a futures contract it has entered into at a favorable time or price. When the Fund enters into a futures transaction, it is subject to the risk that the value of the futures contract will move in a direction unfavorable to it.

When the Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the transactions, at least in part. When a futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund utilized treasury futures to help manage interest rate duration and credit market exposure. Futures contracts outstanding at December 31, 2023 are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Options:

The Fund may purchase and sell put and call options on a security or an index of securities to enhance investment performance and/or to protect against changes in market prices. The Fund may also enter into currency options to hedge against or to take advantage of currency fluctuations.

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

December 31, 2023

Note 3 — Portfolio Investments (Continued)

A call option gives the holder the right to purchase, and obligates the writer to sell, a security at the strike price at any time before the expiration date. A put option gives the holder the right to sell, and obligates the writer to buy, a security at the exercise price at any time before the expiration date. A Fund may purchase put options to protect portfolio holdings against a decline in market value of a security or securities held by it. A Fund may also purchase a put option hoping to profit from an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying security. If a Fund holds the security underlying the option, the option premium and any transaction costs will reduce any profit the Fund might have realized had it sold the underlying security instead of buying the put option. A Fund may purchase call options to hedge against an increase in the price of securities that the Fund ultimately wants to buy. A Fund may also purchase a call option as a long directional investment hoping to profit from an anticipated increase in the value of the underlying security. In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit a Fund might have realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call option.

Purchasing foreign currency options gives a Fund the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell specified amounts of currency at a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a certain date. These currency options may be used as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

When a Fund purchases an option, it runs the risk that it will lose its entire investment in the option in a relatively short period of time, unless the Fund exercises the option or enters into a closing sale transaction before the option’s expiration. If the price of the underlying security does not rise (in the case of a call) or fall (in the case of a put) to an extent sufficient to cover the option premium and transaction costs, the Fund will lose part or all of its investment in the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses.

Options purchased or sold by a Fund may be traded on a securities or options exchange. Such options typically have minimal exposure to counterparty risk. However, an exchange or market may at times find it necessary to impose restrictions on particular types of options transactions, such as opening transactions. If an underlying security ceases to meet qualifications imposed by an exchange or the Options Clearing Corporation, new series of options on that security will no longer be opened to replace the expiring series, and opening transactions in existing series may be prohibited.

OTC options are options not traded on exchanges or backed by clearinghouses. Rather, they are entered into directly between a Fund and the counterparty to the option. In the case of an OTC option purchased by a Fund, the value of the option to the Fund will depend on the willingness and ability of the option writer to perform its obligations to the Fund. In addition, OTC options may not be transferable and there may be little or no secondary market for them, so they may be considered illiquid. It may not be possible to enter into closing transactions with respect to OTC options or otherwise to terminate such options, and as a result a Fund may be required to remain obligated on an unfavorable OTC option until its expiration. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund entered into written option contracts to gain exposure to the equity market.

Swap Agreements:

The Fund may enter into swap agreements. Swap agreements are typically

two-party

contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 3 — Portfolio Investments (Continued)

to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).

In a total return swap, one party typically agrees to pay to the other a short-term interest rate in return for a payment at one or more times in the future based on the increase in the value of an underlying security or other asset, or index of securities or assets; if the underlying security, asset, or index declines in value, the party that pays the short-term interest rate must also pay to its counterparty a payment based on the amount of the decline. The Fund may take either side of such a swap, and so may take a long or short position in the underlying security, asset, or index. The Fund may enter into a total return swap to hedge against an exposure in its portfolio — such as interest rate risk (including to adjust the duration or credit quality of the Fund’s bond portfolio), equity risk, or credit risk — or generally to put cash to work efficiently in the markets in anticipation of, or as a replacement for, cash investments. The Fund may also enter into a total return swap to gain exposure to securities or markets in which it might not be able to invest directly (in

so-called

market access transactions).

Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty default is the discounted NAV of the cash flows paid to/received from the counterparty over the interest rate swap’s remaining life.

The Fund may enter into credit default swap transactions as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. In a credit default swap, one party provides what is in effect insurance against a default or other adverse credit event affecting an issuer of debt securities (typically referred to as a “reference entity”). In general, the buyer of credit protection is obligated to pay the protection seller an upfront amount or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the swap. If a “credit event” occurs, the buyer has the right to deliver to the seller bonds (or other obligations of the reference entity with a value up to the full notional value of the swap), and to receive a payment equal to the par value of the bonds or other obligations. Credit events that would trigger a request that the seller make payment are specific to each credit default swap agreement, but generally include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. When the Fund buys protection, it may or may not own securities of the reference entity. When the Fund sells protection under a credit default swap, the position may have the effect of creating leverage in the Fund’s portfolio through the Fund’s indirect long exposure to the issuer or securities on which the swap is written. When the Fund sells protection, it may do so either to earn additional income or to create such a “synthetic” long position.

Whenever the Fund enters into a swap agreement, it takes on counterparty risk — the risk that its counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swap agreement. The Fund also takes the risk that the market will move against its position in the swap agreement. In the case of a total return swap, the swap will change in value depending on the change in value of the asset or index on which the swap is written. When the Fund enters into any type of swap for hedging purposes, it is likely that the Fund will have an asset or liability that will offset any loss (or gain) on the swap, at least in part. Swap agreements may be

non-transferable

or otherwise highly illiquid, and the Fund may not be able to terminate or transfer a swap agreement at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

December 31, 2023

Note 3 — Portfolio Investments (Continued)

During the term of a swap transaction, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by

marking-to-market

to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, the Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the agreement. Upfront swap premium payments paid or received by the Fund, if any, are recorded within the value of the open swap agreement on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments paid or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap agreement.

During the term of a swap transaction, the periodic net payments can be made for a set period of time or may be triggered by a predetermined credit event. The net periodic payments may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate, the change in market value of a specified security, basket of securities or index, or the return generated by a security. These periodic payments received or made by the Fund are recorded as realized gains and losses, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund entered into interest rate swaps to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed-rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Outstanding swap agreements at December 31, 2023 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

Note 4 — Investment Objective, Investment Strategy, and Risk Considerations

Investment objective:

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a total return comprised of current income and capital appreciation.

Investment strategy:

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a wide range of securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Securities”), investment-grade corporate debt securities, high yield corporate debt securities,

non-U.S.

developed and emerging market debt mortgage-related securities, asset-backed securities, marketable small-,

mid-

and large-capitalization equity securities, convertible securities, money market securities, repurchase agreements, other securities and derivative instruments without limit believed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund will shift and reallocate its investments on an opportunistic basis and may invest in additional asset classes other than those identified above. The Fund may also employ leverage up to 33% of its total assets (including assets purchased with borrowings). The Fund has a stated goal of providing dependable, but not assured, quarterly distributions out of accumulated net investment income and/or other sources, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act.

Market Risk:

The Fund’s investments will fluctuate with market conditions, and so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments.

Liquidity Risk:

The Fund’s investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Fund because it may not be able to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Investments in high-yield securities, foreign securities, derivatives or other securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. Certain investments in private placements and Rule 144A

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 4 — Investment Objective, Investment Strategy, and Risk Considerations (Continued)

securities may be considered illiquid investments. The Fund may invest in private placements and Rule 144A securities.

Interest Rate Risk:

The values of the Fund’s investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The longer the average duration of the Fund’s investment portfolio, the greater the change in value.

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk:

The Fund may invest in MBS or other ABS. The values of some mortgage-backed securities or other asset-backed securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage-related securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed-income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

Derivatives Risk:

Use of derivatives, which at times is an important part of the Fund’s investment strategy, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Investments in derivatives could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective through the use of the derivatives.

Credit Risk:

The values of any of the Fund’s investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower-rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment-grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The value of some mortgage-related securities in which the Fund invests also may fall because of unanticipated levels of principal prepayments that can occur when interest rates decline. The Fund invests a material portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market prices and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain issuers held by the Fund.

MBS and ABS are characterized and classified in a variety of different ways. These classifications include a view of the securities’ cash flow structure (pass-through, sequential pay, prepayment-protected, interest only, principal only, etc.), the security of the claim on the underlying assets (senior, mezzanine and subordinated), as well as types of underlying collateral (prime conforming loans, prime

non-conforming

loans,

Alt-A

loans, subprime loans, commercial loans, etc.). In many cases, the classification incorporates a degree of subjectivity: a particular loan might be categorized as “prime” by the underwriting standards of one mortgage issuer while another might classify the loan as “subprime.” In addition to other functions, the risk associated with an investment in a mortgage loan must take into account the nature of the

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

December 31, 2023

Note 4 — Investment Objective, Investment Strategy, and Risk Considerations (Continued)

collateral, the form and the level of credit enhancement, the vintage of the loan, the geography of the loan, the purpose of the loan (refinance versus purchase versus equity takeout), the borrower’s credit quality (e.g., FICO score), and whether the loan is a first trust deed or a second lien.

Counterparty Risk:

The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may not fulfill its obligations.

LIBOR Risk:

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading benchmark or reference rate for various commercial and financial contracts, including corporate and municipal bonds, bank loans, asset backed and mortgage-related securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives. In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, announced the gradual phase out of the LIBOR rate, with nearly all LIBOR rate publications having ceased as of June 30, 2023 (some LIBOR rates continue to be published, but only on a temporary and synthetic basis). Alternatives to LIBOR have been established and others may be developed. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financial Rate (SOFR) as the preferred alternative rate to LIBOR. SOFR is a relatively new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. There remains uncertainty surrounding the nature of any replacement rates. The transition to a new reference rate may result in (i) increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments or contracts that previously relied on or still rely on LIBOR, (ii) a reduction in the value of certain instruments or contracts held by a Fund, (iii) reduced effectiveness of related Fund transactions, such as hedging, (iv) additional tax, accounting and regulatory risks, or (v) costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Any pricing adjustments to a Fund’s investments resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect a Fund’s performance and/or NAV. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments or contracts using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity.

Note 5 — Federal Income Taxes

It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The following table shows character of distributed and undistributed amounts on a tax basis.

At December 31, 2023, the Fund had net short-term and long-term realized capital losses that will be carried forward indefinitely for federal income tax purposes of $218,421 and $2,291,075, respectively.

The Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2023, nor were there any increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the period then ended; and therefore no interest or penalties were accrued. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three and four fiscal years, respectively.

Note 6 — Investment Advisory and Service Fees

As compensation for the investment advisory services rendered, facilities provided, and expenses borne, the Advisor is paid a monthly fee by the Fund computed at the annual rate of 0.75% of the first $100 million of the Fund’s average managed assets and 0.50% of the Fund’s average managed assets in excess of $100 million.

Note 7 — Purchases and Sales of Securities

For the year ended December 31, 2023 purchases and sales or maturities of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated to $52,418,670 and $76,630,889, respectively, for

non-U.S.

Government securities, and aggregated to $593,513,387 and $585,155,277, respectively, for U.S. Government securities.

Note 8 — Directors’ Fees

Directors who are not affiliated with the Advisor received, as a group, fees and expenses of $125,689 from the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2023. Directors may elect to defer receipt of their fees in accordance with the terms of a

Non-Qualified

Deferred Compensation Plan. Deferred compensation is included within Accrued Directors’ Fees and Expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Certain Officers and/or Directors of the Fund are also Officers and/or Directors of the Advisor but do not receive any compensation from the Fund.

Note 9 — Restricted Securities

The Fund is permitted to invest in securities that have legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities may be sold privately, but are required to be registered before being sold to the public (exemption rules apply). Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). However, the Fund considers 144A securities to be restricted if those securities have been deemed illiquid. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Restricted securities held by the Fund at December 31, 2023 are listed below:

Note 10 — Loan Outstanding

The Fund is permitted to have borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund has entered into a line of credit agreement, renewed annually, with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Bank”) which permits the Fund to borrow up to $70 million at a rate, per annum, equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.00%. The average daily loan balance during the year ended December 31, 2023, at such time as loans were outstanding, amounted to $1,577,966 and the weighted average interest rate was 6.05%. Interest expense on the line of credit was $30,838 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The maximum outstanding loan balance during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $2,400,000. The Fund did not have any outstanding loan balance as of December 31, 2023. The Fund pays the Bank a commitment fee equal to 0.08% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount. The commitment fee incurred by the Fund is presented in the Interest Expense line in the Statement of Operations.

Note 11 — Indemnifications

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, the Fund entered into an agreement with each of the Directors which provides that the Fund will indemnify and hold harmless each Director against any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such Director in any proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Director’s services to the Fund, to the fullest extent permitted by the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation and

By-Laws,

the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Securities Act, and the 1940 Act, each as now or hereinafter in force. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on

experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote. The Fund has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnification.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Renewal of Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (Unaudited)

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) and TCW Investment Management Company LLC (the “Advisor”) are parties to an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (“Agreement”), pursuant to which the Advisor is responsible for managing the investments of the Fund. Unless terminated by either party, the Agreement continues in effect from year to year provided that the continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund, or by the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”), and, in either event, by a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Directors”), casting votes in person at a meeting called for that purpose.

At an

in-person

meeting on September 11, 2023, the Board approved the renewal of the Agreement for an additional

one-year

term from February 6, 2024 through February 5, 2025. The renewal of the Agreement was approved by the Board (including by a majority of the Independent Directors) upon the recommendation of the Independent Directors. The Independent Directors also met by videoconference in a working session on August 30, 2023 to hear presentations by representatives of the Advisor, to ask related questions, to review and discuss materials provided by the Advisor for their consideration, and to meet separately with their independent legal counsel. On September 11, 2023 they also met separately with their independent legal counsel to discuss the information that had been requested on their behalf by their independent legal counsel and presented by the Advisor. The information, material facts, and conclusions that formed the basis for the Independent Directors’ recommendation and the Board’s subsequent approval are described below.

1. Information received

Materials reviewed

— During the course of each year, the Directors receive a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by the Advisor, including reports on the Advisor’s investment processes, as well as on the Fund’s investment results, portfolio composition, portfolio trading practices, compliance monitoring, shareholder services, and other information relating to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor to the Fund. In addition, the Board reviewed information furnished to the Independent Directors in response to a detailed request sent to the Advisor on their behalf. The information in the Advisor’s responses included extensive materials regarding the Fund’s investment results, advisory fee comparisons to advisory fees charged by the Advisor to its institutional clients, financial and profitability information regarding the Advisor, descriptions of various services provided to the Fund and to other advisory and

sub-advisory

clients, descriptions of functions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and information about the personnel providing investment management services to the Fund. The Directors also considered information provided by an independent data provider, Broadridge, comparing the investment performance and the fee and expense levels of the Fund to those of appropriate peer groups of funds selected by Broadridge. After reviewing this information, the Directors requested additional financial, profitability and service information from the Advisor, which the Advisor provided and the Directors considered.

Review process —

The Directors’ determinations were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. The Independent Directors were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the renewal process and received and reviewed advice from their independent legal counsel regarding legal and industry standards applicable to the renewal of the Agreement, including a legal memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing their fiduciary

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Renewal of Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)

duties related to their approval of the continuation of the Agreement. The Independent Directors also discussed the renewal of the Agreement with the Advisor’s representatives and in private sessions at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Independent Directors did not identify any single piece of information or particular factor that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. Each Independent Director may also have weighed factors differently. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors.

2. Nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor

The Board and the Independent Directors considered the depth and quality of the Advisor’s investment management process, including its research and strong analytical capabilities; the experience, capability, and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the advance planning and transition arrangements put in place with respect to the changes in key portfolio management and other personnel; the overall resources available to the Advisor; and the ability of its organizational structure to address the fluctuations in assets that have been experienced over the past several years. The Board and the Independent Directors considered the Advisor’s continued commitment and ability to attract and retain well-qualified investment professionals, noting in particular the Advisor’s hiring of professionals in various areas over the past several years, including recruiting and hiring a highly qualified President and Chief Executive Officer to replace the outgoing head of The TCW Group, Inc., the parent company of the Advisor (“TCW”), continued upgrading of resources in its middle office and back office operations and other areas, as well as a continuing and extensive program of infrastructure and systems enhancements, including business continuity and cyber security, as well as budgeting for certain future initiatives. The Board and the Independent Directors also considered that the Advisor made available to its investment professionals a variety of resources and systems relating to investment management, compliance, trading, operations, administration, research, portfolio accounting and legal matters. They noted the substantial additional resources made available by TCW. The Board and the Independent Directors examined and discussed a detailed description of the extensive additional services provided to the Fund to support its operations and compliance, as compared to the much narrower range of services provided to the Advisor’s institutional and

sub-advised

clients, as well as the Advisor’s oversight and coordination of numerous outside service providers to the Fund. They further noted the high level of regular communication between the Advisor and the Independent Directors. The Advisor explained its responsibility to supervise the activities of the Fund’s various service providers, as well as supporting the Independent Directors and their meetings, regulatory filings, and various operational personnel, and the related costs.

The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor are of a high quality and have benefited and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

3. Investment results

The Board and the Independent Directors considered the investment results of the Fund in light of its investment objective and principal investment strategies. They compared the Fund’s total returns with the total returns of other funds in peer group reports prepared by Broadridge with respect to various longer and more recent periods all ended May 31, 2023. The Board and the Independent Directors reviewed information as to a peer group selection presented by Broadridge and discussed the methodology for the selection with Broadridge. In reviewing the Fund’s relative performance, the Board and the Independent

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Directors took into account the Fund’s investment strategies, distinct characteristics, asset size and diversification.

The Board and the Independent Directors noted that the Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile for the

ten-year

period, the second quintile for the five- and three-year periods and the first quintile for the

one-year

period. The Board and the Independent Directors also considered that the Fund experienced significantly less volatility than the other funds in the peer group.

The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the Advisor was implementing the Fund’s investment objective and that the Advisor’s record in managing the Fund indicated that its continued management should benefit the Fund and its shareholders over the long term.

4. Advisory fees and total expenses

The Board and the Independent Directors compared the management fees (which Broadridge defines to include the advisory fee and the administrative fee) and total expenses of the Fund (as a percentage of average net assets) with the median management fee and operating expense level of the other funds in the Broadridge peer group. These comparisons assisted the Board and the Independent Directors by providing a reasonable statistical measure to assess the Fund’s fees relative to its relevant peers. The Board and the Independent Directors observed that the Fund’s management fee was below and total expenses were at the median of the peer group funds. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the competitive fee charged by the Advisor, and competitive expense ratio, should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

The Board and the Independent Directors also reviewed information regarding the advisory fees charged by the Advisor to its institutional and

sub-advisory

clients with similar investment mandates. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that, although the fees paid by those clients generally were lower than advisory fees paid by the Fund, the differences appropriately reflected the more extensive services provided by the Advisor to the Fund and the Advisor’s significantly greater responsibilities and expenses with respect to the Fund, including the additional risks of managing a pool of assets for public investors, administrative burdens, daily pricing and valuation responsibilities, the supervision of vendors and service providers, and the costs of additional infrastructure and operational resources and personnel and of complying with and supporting the more comprehensive regulatory and governance regime applicable to registered investment companies with shares listed on a stock exchange.

5. The Advisor’s costs, level of profits, and economies of scale

The Board and the Independent Directors reviewed information regarding the Advisor’s costs of providing services to the Fund, as well as the resulting level of profits to the Advisor. They reviewed the Advisor’s stated assumptions and methods of allocating certain costs, such as personnel costs, which constitute the Advisor’s largest operating cost. The Board and the Independent Directors recognized that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that it provides to the Fund. The Board and the Independent Directors also reviewed a comparison of the Advisor’s profitability with respect to the Fund to the profitability of certain unaffiliated publicly traded asset managers, which the Advisor believed supported its view that the Advisor’s profitability was reasonable. Based on their review, the Board and the Independent Directors concluded that they were satisfied that the Advisor’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was not unreasonable or excessive.

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Renewal of Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)

The Board and the Independent Directors considered the extent to which potential economies of scale could be realized as the Fund grows and whether the advisory fee reflects those potential economies of scale. They noted the breakpoint under the Agreement, which results in a lower advisory fee rate as the Fund grows larger. They recognized the Advisor’s view that the advisory fee compares favorably to peer group fees, and that expenses remain competitive even at higher asset levels and that the relatively low advisory fees reflect the potential economies of scale. The Board and the Independent Directors recognized the benefits of the Advisor’s substantial past and ongoing investment in the advisory business, such as successfully recruiting and retaining key professional talent, systems and technology upgrades, added resources dedicated to legal, compliance, risk management and cybersecurity programs, and improvements to the overall firm infrastructure, as well as the financial pressures of competing against much larger firms and passive investment products. The Board and the Independent Directors also recognized that the Fund benefits from receiving investment advice from an organization with other types of advisory clients in addition to investment companies. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the Advisor was satisfactorily sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund through low fees and expenses, and through reinvesting in its capabilities for serving the Fund and its shareholders.

6. Ancillary benefits

The Board and the Independent Directors also considered ancillary benefits received or to be received by the Advisor and its affiliates as a result of the relationship of the Advisor with the Fund. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that any potential benefits to be received or to be derived by the Advisor from its relationships with the Fund are reasonably related to the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund.

7. Conclusions

Based on their overall review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above (and others), the Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the Agreement is fair and reasonable to the Fund and its shareholders, that the Fund’s shareholders received reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Advisor by the Fund, and that the renewal of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Shareholders who wish to add to their investment may do so by making an election to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, your dividend is used to purchase Fund shares on the open market whenever shares, including the related sales commission, are selling below the Fund’s net asset value per share. You will be charged a

pro-rata

portion of brokerage commissions on open-market purchases under the Plan. If the market price, including commission, of Fund shares is above the Fund’s net asset value per share, you will receive shares at a price equal to the higher of the Fund’s net asset value per share on the payment date or 95% of the closing market price of Fund shares on the payment date. Generally, for tax purposes, shareholders participating in the Plan will be treated as having received a distribution from the Fund in cash equal to the value of the shares purchased from them under the Plan.

To enroll in the Plan, if your shares are registered in your name, write to Computershare, P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078, or call toll free at (866)

227-8179.

If your shares are held by a brokerage firm, please call your broker. If you participate in the Plan through a broker, you may not be able to transfer your shares to another broker and continue to participate in the Plan if your new broker does not permit such participation. If you no longer want to participate in the Plan, please contact Computershare or your broker. You may elect to continue to hold shares previously purchased on your behalf or to sell your shares and receive the proceeds, net of any brokerage commissions. If you need additional information or assistance, please call our investor relations department at (877)

Distribution policies are a matter of Board discretion and may be modified or terminated at any time without prior notice. Any such change or termination may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Fund’s shares.

Conflicts

The TCW Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, the Registrant, TCW Funds, Inc., the Metropolitan West Funds, and TCW ETF Trust (collectively, “TCW”) have policies and controls to avoid and/or mitigate conflicts of interest across its businesses. The policies and procedures in TCW’s Code of Ethics (the “Code”) serve to address or mitigate both conflicts of interest and the appearance of any conflict of interest. The Code contains several restrictions and procedures designed to eliminate conflicts of interest relating to personal investment transactions, including (i) reporting account openings, changes, or closings (including accounts in which an Access Person has a “beneficial interest”), (ii) pre-clearance of non-exempt personal investment transactions (make a personal trade request for Securities) and (iii) the completion of timely required reporting (Initial Holdings Report, Quarterly Transactions Report, Annual Holdings Report and Annual Certificate of Compliance).

In addition, the Code addresses potential conflicts of interest through its policies on insider trading, anti-corruption, an employee’s outside business activities, political activities and contributions, confidentiality and whistleblower provisions.

Conflicts of interest may also arise in the management of accounts and investment vehicles. These conflicts may raise questions that would allow TCW to allocate investment opportunities in a way that favors certain accounts or investment vehicles over other accounts or investment vehicles, or incentivize a TCW portfolio manager to receive greater compensation with regard to the management of certain account or investment vehicles. TCW may give advice or take action with certain accounts or investment vehicles that could differ from the advice given or action taken on other accounts or investment vehicles. When an investment opportunity is suitable for more than one account or investment vehicle, such investments will be allocated in a manner that is fair and equitable under the circumstances to all TCW clients. As such, TCW has adopted compliance policies and procedures in its Portfolio Management Policy that helps to identify a conflict of interest and then specifies how a conflict of interest is managed. TCW’s Trading and Brokerage Policy also discusses the process of timing and method of allocations, and addresses how the firm handles affiliate transactions.

The respective Equity and Fixed Income Trading and Allocation Committees review trading activities on behalf of client accounts, including the allocation of investment opportunities and address any issues with regard to side-by-side management in order to ensure that all of TCW’s clients are treated on a fair and equitable basis. Further, the Portfolio Analytics Committee reviews TCW’s investment strategies, evaluates various analytics to facilitate risk assessment, changes to performance composites and benchmarks and monitors the implementation and maintenance of the Global Investment Performance Standards or GIPS^® compliance.

TCW’s approach to handling conflicts of interest is multi-layered starting with its policies and procedures, reporting and pre-clearance processes and oversight by various committees.

(a)(3) Portfolio Manager Compensation

The overall objective of TCW Investment Management Company LLC’s (the “Advisor’s”) compensation program for portfolio managers is to attract experienced and expert investment professionals and to retain them over the long-term. Compensation is comprised of several components which, in the aggregate, are designed to achieve these objectives and to reward the portfolio managers for their contributions to the successful performance of the accounts they manage. Portfolio managers are compensated through a combination of base salary, fee sharing based compensation (“fee sharing”), bonus and equity incentive participation in the Advisor’s parent company (“equity incentives”). Fee sharing and equity incentives generally represent most of the portfolio managers’ compensation. In some cases, portfolio managers are eligible for discretionary bonuses.

Salary. Salary is agreed to with portfolio managers at the time of employment and is reviewed from time to time. It does not change significantly and often does not constitute a significant part of a portfolio manager’s compensation.

Fee Sharing. Fee sharing for investment professionals is based on revenues generated by accounts in the investment strategy area for which the investment professionals are responsible. In most cases, revenues are allocated to a pool and fee sharing compensation is allocated among members of the investment team after the deduction of certain expenses (including compensation over a threshold level) related to the strategy group. The allocations are based on the investment professionals’ contributions to TCW and its clients, including qualitative and quantitative contributions.

In general, the same fee sharing percentage is used to compensate a portfolio manager for investment services related to the Registrant as that used to compensate portfolio managers for other client accounts in the same strategy managed by the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor (collectively, “the TCW Advisors”). In some cases, the fee sharing pool includes revenues related to more than one product, in which case each participant in the pool is entitled to fee sharing derived from his or her contributions to all the included products.

Investment professionals are not directly compensated for generating performance fees. In some cases, the overall fee sharing pool is subject to fluctuation based on the relative pre-tax performance of the investment strategy composite returns, net of fees and expenses, to that of the benchmark. The measurement of performance relative to the benchmark can be based on single year or multiple year metrics, or a combination thereof. The benchmark used is the one associated with the Registrant managed by the portfolio manager as disclosed in the prospectus. Benchmarks vary from strategy to strategy but, within a given strategy, the same benchmark applies to all accounts, including the Registrant.

Discretionary Bonus/Guaranteed Minimums. Discretionary bonuses may be paid out of an investment team’s fee sharing pool, as determined by the supervisor(s) in the department. In other cases where portfolio managers do not receive fee sharing or where it is determined that the combination of salary and fee sharing does not adequately compensate the portfolio manager, discretionary bonuses may be paid by the applicable TCW Advisor. Also, pursuant to contractual arrangements, some portfolio managers received minimum bonuses.

Equity Incentives. Management believes that equity ownership aligns the interests of portfolio managers with the interests of the firm and its clients. Accordingly, TCW’s key investment professionals participate in equity incentives through ownership or participation in restricted unit plans that vest over time or unit appreciation plans of the Advisor’s parent company. The plans include the Fixed Income Retention Plan, Restricted Unit Plan and 2013 Equity Unit Incentive Plan.

Under the Fixed Income Retention Plan, certain portfolio managers in the fixed income area were awarded cash and/or partnership units in the Advisor’s parent company, either on a contractually-determined basis or on a discretionary basis. Awards under this plan were made in 2010 that vest over time.

Under the Restricted Unit Plan, certain portfolio managers in the fixed income and equity areas may be awarded partnership units in the Advisor’s parent company. Awards under this plan have vested over time, subject to satisfaction of performance criteria.

Under the 2013 Equity Unit Incentive Plan, certain portfolio managers in the fixed income and equity areas may be awarded options to acquire partnership units in the Advisor’s parent company with a strike price equal to the fair market value of the option at the date of grant. The options granted under this plan are subject to vesting and other conditions.

Other Plans and Compensation Vehicles. Portfolio managers may also elect to participate in the applicable TCW Advisor’s 401(k) plan, to which they may contribute a portion of their pre- and post-tax compensation to the plan for investment on a tax-deferred basis.

EX-99.CODE

Sarbanes-Oxley Act Code of Ethics

This SOX Code for the Funds has been adopted regarding the Covered Officers for the purpose of deterring wrongdoing and promoting:

•

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships,

•

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds,

•

compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations,

•

prompt internal reporting of violations of this SOX Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in this SOX Code, and

•

accountability for adherence to this SOX Code.

This SOX Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for the purposes of section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, TIMCO, MetWest or TFD govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this SOX Code, they are superseded by this SOX Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this SOX Code. The Funds’, TIMCO’s, MetWest’s and TFD’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the 40 Act and TIMCO’s and MetWest’s more detailed policies and procedures set forth in the Code of Ethics are separate requirements that apply to the Covered Officers and others and are not part of this SOX Code.

Each Covered Officer of a Fund must, as applicable:

•

upon being named a Covered Officer affirm in writing to the board that he or she has received, read and understands this SOX Code,

•

avoid situations when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or service to, a Fund,

•

not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Fund, including where the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund,

•

not cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund,

•

not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for a Fund to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions,

•

report at least annually any directorships or other affiliations with other public companies,

•

obtain approval from (i) their supervisor and (ii) any of the applicable Fund Chief Compliance Officer, the Chief Risk Officer or General Counsel upon the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which a Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate with regard to time and place, and not so frequent that questions of impropriety arise. Where the CEO of TCW Group is considered a Covered Person under these policies, and therefore has no direct supervisor, the foregoing approval shall require two of the persons named under (ii) above,

•

annually affirm to the relevant board that he or she has complied with the requirements of this SOX Code,

•

not retaliate against any Covered Officer or employee of the Funds or their Affiliated Persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith, and

•

notify the General Counsel promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this SOX Code. The General Counsel will promptly notify the Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund of any reported violations of this SOX Code.

Further, each Covered Officer:

•

should refrain from accepting gifts of more than a de minimis value from providers of goods and services to a Fund.

•

should be familiar with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to each Fund.

•

should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to a Fund’s board and auditors, or to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

•

should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and TIMCO or MetWest, applicable, with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents that the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds.

•

is responsible for promoting compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

The foregoing requirements shall not prevent the participation of the Covered Officers in activities inherent in the contractual relationship between each fund and TIMCO or MetWest, as applicable, such as contract negotiation, and, if addressed in conformity with the provisions of the 40 Act and the Advisers Act, will be deemed to have been handled ethically.

The following conflicts of interest situations involving a Covered Officer must be approved by (i) the Chief Risk Officer or Chief Administration Officer of the Firm and (ii) one of the General Counsel or Chief Compliance Officer of the applicable Fund.

•

service as a director on the board of any public company,

•

service as an executor, trustee, guardian, conservator, general partner or other fiduciary, or any appointment as a consultant in connection with fiduciary or active money management matters exclusive of appointments involving personal estates or service on the board of a charitable, civic, or nonprofit company where the Covered Officer does not act as an investment advisor for the entity’s assets,

•

any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any service providers of a Fund, as applicable, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, or any Affiliated Person thereof, with the exception that nothing herein shall prevent a Covered Officer from acquiring publicly traded securities of a service provider in a market transaction, and

•

a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges, or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

Any approvals or waivers sought by a Covered Officer that is not covered above will be submitted for consideration by the Audit Committee of the relevant Fund. In addition, the Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this SOX Code.

•

The General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any reported violations.

•

If, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action.

•

Any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the Audit Committee and to the Chief Compliance Officer.

•

If the Audit Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform the board, which will consider appropriate action, which may include (i) review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures, (ii) notification to appropriate personnel of TIMCO, MetWest or their board, as applicable, or (iii) a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer.

•

The Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate.

•

Any changes to, or waivers of, this SOX Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

Material amendments to this SOX Code must be in written form and specifically approved or ratified by a majority vote of a Fund’s board, including a majority of independent directors.

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this SOX Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this SOX Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate board, their counsel, counsel to the relevant Funds, and such persons at TCW who should know in the reasonable course of their duties.

This SOX Code is intended solely for the internal use by the funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, with regard to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

EX-99.(c) – Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

Proxy Voting Guidelines and Procedures

TCW, through certain subsidiaries and affiliates, acts as investment advisor for a variety of clients, including U.S.-registered investment companies. TCW has the right to vote proxies on behalf of its U.S. registered investment company clients and other clients, and believes that proxy voting rights can be a significant asset of its clients’ holdings.

Accordingly, TCW seeks to exercise that right consistent with its fiduciary duties on behalf of its clients. This policy applies to all discretionary accounts over which TCW has proxy voting responsibility or an obligation to provide proxy voting guidance with respect to the holdings it advises on a model or wrap basis.

While the Global Portfolio Proxy Voting Policy, Guidelines, and Procedures (the “Policy”) outlined here are written to apply internationally, differences in local practice and law make a universal application of these guidelines impractical. As a consequence, it is important to note that each proposal is considered individually, reflecting the effects on the specific company and unique attributes of the industry and/or geography. In addition, this document serves as a set of general guidelines, not hardcoded rules, which are designed to aid us in voting proxies for TCW and not necessarily in making investment decisions. At TCW, we reserve the right in all cases to vote in contravention of the guidelines outlined in this Policy where doing so is judged to represent the best interests of its clients in the specific situation.

Engagement and Active Ownership Philosophy

As we seek to deliver on our client’s financial objectives, engagement and active ownership are integral components of TCW’s research and investment process. Our data-informed engagement and active ownership practices achieve several objectives. The information elicited from these practices not only helps improve our fundamental research, but our engagement and active ownership practices may also have positive impacts on the company or other entities by suggesting best practices in addressing critical, financially material issues in areas of sustainability, corporate governance, or executive compensation.

Our approach to engagement and active ownership encompasses a variety of tools tailored to different asset classes. Engagement is a practice applied to all our investments, spanning equity and fixed income, in both private and public markets. Proxy voting, on the other hand, is primarily relevant to public equities. Situations in which we find ourselves as a significant or controlling shareholder, or situations where we are the lead debt holder in a special situation occur primarily within our private business and demand a more tailored approach. We also actively engage with the industry in question to help leverage our expertise and improve industry practices more broadly.

Our portfolio managers, research analysts, and sustainable investment analysts collaborate closely in our ongoing dialogues with companies, investee entities, as well as suppliers, customers, competitors, and the broader industry. Our objective is, wherever feasible, to pursue engagement in an integrated fashion, bringing together investment professionals from sustainability and fundamental research teams, often focused on different parts of the capital structure. This integrated approach to engagement forms the cornerstone of our active ownership responsibilities and guides the investment choices we make on behalf of our clients. As an example, TCW analysts covering the same company from sustainability, corporate credit, and public equity research teams frequently find themselves jointly engaging with management on topics related to corporate strategy and governance, as well as climate-related business plans, executive compensation, and diversity of perspectives on the board.

The depth and breadth of TCW’s investments provides an important platform by which we engage with companies and other entities. Engagement is not just about having a dialogue with companies and other entities that already demonstrate a comprehensive approach to sustainability; it is also about engaging with companies and other entities that have less advanced sustainability practices. Our primary goal with engagement is to advance best practices in governance, transparency, and the management of identified material risks to ultimately drive long-term value in the investments we make on behalf of our clients.

Engagement is a dynamic and long-term process that evolves over multiple years. While change may require considerable time to materialize, our analysts continually reinforce and monitor our engagement objectives during their regular interactions with companies and other entities. Lack of responsiveness or progress is duly reflected in their assessments of investee entities, potentially leading to further actions as deemed necessary. We maintain a record of our engagements and may provide our clients with the understanding of both the volume and depth of engagements.

Proxy Voting Procedures

TCW will make every reasonable effort to execute proxy votes on behalf of its clients prior to the applicable deadlines. However, TCW often relies on third parties, including custodians and clients, for the timely provision of proxy ballots. TCW may be unable to execute on proxy votes if it does not receive requisite materials with sufficient time to review and process them.

Furthermore, TCW may receive ballots for some strategies for which the typical expression of our engagement and stewardship policies may not be possible. For instance, quantitative strategies use machine learning models that employ algorithms for security selection, and these securities may only be held for a short period of time. For ballots received for securities held in these strategies, TCW may elect not to vote.

Additionally, TCW may receive ballots for strategies under the TCW Transform ETF platform for companies in jurisdictions where the availability of certain data would permit TCW to further assess company practices along certain themes, where these themes may be deemed material. Please see the Guidelines section below for further detail on those areas.

Proxy Committee

In order to carry out its fiduciary responsibilities in the voting of proxies for its clients, TCW has established a proxy voting committee (the “Proxy Committee”). The Proxy Committee generally meets quarterly (or at such other frequency as determined by the Proxy Committee), and its duties include establishing and maintaining the Policy, overseeing the internal proxy voting process, and reviewing proxy voting proposals and issues that may not be covered by the Policy. The Proxy Committee has been working with TCW’s equity investment teams to evolve TCW’s engagement process, proxy voting philosophy, scope of coverage, and execution.

Proxy Voting Services

TCW also uses outside proxy voting services (each an “Outside Service”) to help manage the proxy voting process. An Outside Service facilitates TCW’s voting according to the Policy (or, if applicable, according to guidelines submitted by TCW’s clients) by providing proxy research, an enhanced voting technology solution, and record keeping and reporting system(s). To supplement its own research and analysis in determining how best to vote a particular proxy proposal, TCW may utilize research, analysis or recommendations provided by the proxy voting service on a case-by-case basis. TCW does not as a policy follow the assessments or recommendations provided by the proxy voting service without its own determination and review. Under specified circumstances described below involving potential conflicts of interest, an Outside Service may also be requested to help decide certain proxy votes. In those instances, the Proxy Committee shall review and evaluate the voting recommendations of such Outside Service to ensure that recommendations are consistent with TCW’s clients’ best interests.

Sub-Adviser

Where TCW has retained the services of a Sub-Adviser to provide day-to-day portfolio management for the portfolio, TCW may delegate proxy voting authority to the Sub-Adviser; provided that the Sub-Adviser either (1) follows TCW’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures; or (2) has demonstrated that its proxy voting policies and procedures (“Sub-Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures”) are in the best interests of TCW’s clients and appear to comply with governing regulations. TCW also shall be provided the opportunity to review a Sub- Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures as deemed necessary or appropriate by TCW.

Conflicts of Interest

In the event a potential conflict of interest arises in the context of voting proxies for TCW’s clients, TCW will cast its votes according to the Policies or any applicable guidelines provided by TCW’s clients. In cases where a conflict of interest exists and there is no predetermined vote, the Proxy Committee will vote the proposals in a manner consistent with established conflict of interest procedures.

Proxy Voting Information and Recordkeeping

Upon request, TCW provides proxy voting records to its clients. TCW shall disclose the present policy as well as the results of its implementation (including the way TCW has voted) on its website in accordance with applicable law.

TCW or an Outside Service will keep records of the following items: (i) Proxy Voting Policies and any other proxy voting procedures; (ii) proxy statements received regarding client securities (unless such statements are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system); (iii) records of votes cast on behalf of clients (if maintained by an Outside Service, that Outside Service will provide copies of those records promptly upon request); (iv) records of written requests for proxy voting information and TCW’s response; and (v) any documents prepared by TCW that were material to making a decision on how to vote, or that memorialized the basis for the decision. Additionally, TCW or an Outside Service will maintain any documentation related to an identified material conflict of interest.

TCW or an Outside Service will maintain these records in an easily accessible place for at least seven years from the end of the fiscal year during which the last entry was made on such record. For the most recent two years, TCW or an Outside Service will store such records at its principal office.

International Proxy Voting

While TCW utilizes these Proxy Voting Policies for both international and domestic portfolios and clients, there are some significant differences between voting U.S. company proxies and voting non-U.S. company proxies. For U.S. companies, it is relatively easy to vote proxies, as the proxies are automatically received and may be voted by mail or electronically.

For proxies of non-U.S. companies, although it is typically both difficult and costly to vote proxies, TCW will make every reasonable effort to vote such proxies.

Entity Registrant Name	TCW STRATEGIC INCOME FUND INC
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]
Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block]	Investment objective: The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a total return comprised of current income and capital appreciation. Investment strategy: The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a wide range of securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Securities”), investment-grade corporate debt securities, high yield corporate debt securities, non-U.S. developed and emerging market debt mortgage-related securities, asset-backed securities, marketable small-, mid- and large-capitalization equity securities, convertible securities, money market securities, repurchase agreements, other securities and derivative instruments without limit believed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund will shift and reallocate its investments on an opportunistic basis and may invest in additional asset classes other than those identified above. The Fund may also employ leverage up to 33% of its total assets (including assets purchased with borrowings). The Fund has a stated goal of providing dependable, but not assured, quarterly distributions out of accumulated net investment income and/or other sources, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act.
Risk Factors [Table Text Block]	Market Risk: The Fund’s investments will fluctuate with market conditions, and so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments. Liquidity Risk: The Fund’s investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Fund because it may not be able to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Investments in high-yield securities, foreign securities, derivatives or other securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. Certain investments in private placements and Rule 144A securities may be considered illiquid investments. The Fund may invest in private placements and Rule 144A securities. Interest Rate Risk: The values of the Fund’s investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The longer the average duration of the Fund’s investment portfolio, the greater the change in value. Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: The Fund may invest in MBS or other ABS. The values of some mortgage-backed securities or other asset-backed securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage-related securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed-income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations. Derivatives Risk: Use of derivatives, which at times is an important part of the Fund’s investment strategy, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Investments in derivatives could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective through the use of the derivatives. Credit Risk: The values of any of the Fund’s investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower-rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment-grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The value of some mortgage-related securities in which the Fund invests also may fall because of unanticipated levels of principal prepayments that can occur when interest rates decline. The Fund invests a material portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage- and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market prices and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain issuers held by the Fund. MBS and ABS are characterized and classified in a variety of different ways. These classifications include a view of the securities’ cash flow structure (pass-through, sequential pay, prepayment-protected, interest only, principal only, etc.), the security of the claim on the underlying assets (senior, mezzanine and subordinated), as well as types of underlying collateral (prime conforming loans, prime non-conforming loans, Alt-A loans, subprime loans, commercial loans, etc.). In many cases, the classification incorporates a degree of subjectivity: a particular loan might be categorized as “prime” by the underwriting standards of one mortgage issuer while another might classify the loan as “subprime.” In addition to other functions, the risk associated with an investment in a mortgage loan must take into account the nature of the collateral, the form and the level of credit enhancement, the vintage of the loan, the geography of the loan, the purpose of the loan (refinance versus purchase versus equity takeout), the borrower’s credit quality (e.g., FICO score), and whether the loan is a first trust deed or a second lien. Counterparty Risk: The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may not fulfill its obligations. LIBOR Risk: The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading benchmark or reference rate for various commercial and financial contracts, including corporate and municipal bonds, bank loans, asset backed and mortgage-related securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives. In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, announced the gradual phase out of the LIBOR rate, with nearly all LIBOR rate publications having ceased as of June 30, 2023 (some LIBOR rates continue to be published, but only on a temporary and synthetic basis). Alternatives to LIBOR have been established and others may be developed. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financial Rate (SOFR) as the preferred alternative rate to LIBOR. SOFR is a relatively new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. There remains uncertainty surrounding the nature of any replacement rates. The transition to a new reference rate may result in (i) increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments or contracts that previously relied on or still rely on LIBOR, (ii) a reduction in the value of certain instruments or contracts held by a Fund, (iii) reduced effectiveness of related Fund transactions, such as hedging, (iv) additional tax, accounting and regulatory risks, or (v) costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Any pricing adjustments to a Fund’s investments resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect a Fund’s performance and/or NAV. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments or contracts using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity.
