To the shareholders of the TCW Strategic Income Fund:
Executive Summary
TCW is pleased to present the 2025 semi-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 and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker TSI. For the first half of 2025, shares of TSI rose by 4.2% while the Fund’s net asset value (i.e., returns of the underlying assets) increased by 5.0%. The Fund’s
six-month
price-based return was lower than the
NAV-based
return, as the discount between NAV and share price rose from
-4.4%
at the beginning of the period to
-5.2%
by June 30, 2025.
TSI paid dividends of approximately 6 cents per share for each of the final two quarters of 2024, and 6.5 cents in the first two quarters of 2025, as well as a special cash payment of 14.5 cents per share. This represents an annualized rate of approximately 40 cents per share, contributing to a realized
12-month
trailing yield of approximately 8.0%, as of 6/30/2025. 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
Without a doubt, the most consequential market day in the first half of 2025 was April 2, when the Trump administration announced its anticipated tariff regime. Investors were caught surprised by the
would-be
reach — very few countries were left out — and magnitude of the levies to be assessed — well north of expectations — and reacted adversely. The immediate fallout was both swift and severe as equity markets plunged into bear territory, corporate credit spread premiums rose, and Treasury yields increased, the latter in direct opposition to the administration’s desire for lower borrowing costs. Given these developments, the
90-day
pause in reciprocal tariff implementation was announced just one week later, setting off what would become a risk asset rally that lasted into quarter end. While a delay in tariffs and subsequent announcement of trade deals was a primary force behind the market’s recovery, better-than-expected inflation and macroeconomic data later in the period helped further support risk sentiment, especially given comments from some Federal Reserve officials that a return to policy easing may not be far off. The Treasury yield curve steepened in the first half of 2025 as a result, with the
2-Year
yield falling by 52 basis points (bps) while the yield on the
10-
and
30-Year
fell by 34 and 1 bps, respectively.

Perhaps best representing the extent to which markets were whipsawed by the tariff rollout, the S&P 500 Index fell over 12% in early April before recovering more than 24% from the lows, ultimately closing the semi-annual period with a 6.2% advance. Meanwhile, fixed income sectors generally turned in positive returns as well, supported by lower Treasury yields during the period. The flagship Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.0% and finished ahead of risk-free Treasuries by 10 bps, spurred by robust returns from spread sectors. The reinvigoration of risk sentiment late in the second quarter had a pronounced effect in the corporate markets, where both investment grade and high yield credit spreads retraced all the April widening and then some to drive advances of 4.2% and 4.6%, respectively, with excess returns of 21 and 104 bps. Within securitized markets, agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) returned 4.2% as the asset class benefitted from moderating rate volatility, while
non-agency
MBS issues also posted positive returns given strong carry and improved valuations. On the commercial MBS (CMBS) front, Index returns were led by the 4.7% gain for agency-backed issues, while private label conduits advanced 4.3%. Finally, traditional asset-backed securities (ABS) included in the Index returned 2.9%, while
non-traditional
sectors like CLOs also performed well alongside falling risk premiums and tightening of spreads.
The Economy and Market Ahead
Despite the volatility that shook markets in April and caused consumer sentiment to crater to some of the lowest levels in years, we believe a snapshot of market levels at the beginning and end of the quarter would instead suggest that markets had simply continued the trend that has been in place for much of the past year — one of tighter credit spreads and fresh
all-time
equity highs. That a recovery from the April meltdown occurred in such a quick amount of time highlights both the persistent complacency and underappreciation of downside risk that has permeated many investors’ outlook and powered markets through event-driven volatility. However, we have yet to see how markets respond to a slower, more fundamental shift in the economic backdrop, something that has been occurring in the background but is seemingly lost in recent trade-dominated headlines. At the forefront of this shift is a slowing of the labor market as there has been a substantial drop in the rate of hirings, and though there hasn’t been a large increase in the rate of firings, that is often the case early in the cycle and we expect to see job losses pick up as high interest rates, elevated uncertainty, and higher tariffs start to bite. Meanwhile, the labor force itself is also undergoing a fundamental shift resulting from the administration’s immigration policies, resulting in a reduction in the number of people actively seeking a job, which has in turn artificially suppressed the unemployment rate and provided cover to the FOMC to keep rates steady. However, in our view, the longer rates remain at currently restrictive territory, the higher the likelihood that they end up presenting an additional headwind to economic growth potential.
TCW’s discipline and understanding of fundamental security valuations provide the structure to invest confidently when markets are bumpy, headlines are wild, and volatility is high. Indeed, in the upheaval early in April, we were active in trimming duration, which ended the quarter at 2.3 years, and adding significantly across corporate credit, and to a lesser extent in securitized. We expect and look forward to more such opportunities in the months ahead as we will continue to use those periods — which we anticipate being a regular feature of today’s markets — to add yield and potential return to the Fund. In the meantime, however, some of the corporate exposure that was put on in April was reduced alongside the market rally, and the resulting allocation across corporate credit remains cautious, with positions biased towards higher quality and more defensive segments of the market. With corporate spreads having fallen back towards
all-time
tight levels, we believe securitized products currently offer a more compelling relative value argument and therefore constitute a larger position and more attractive segment of the market in which to allocate portfolio risk budgets. Agency MBS represents a substantial position given the sector’s liquidity, spread premiums, and government guarantee, while
non-agency
MBS is also a sizeable allocation due to robust collateral profiles across the sector that allow for various opportunities to capture strong risk-adjusted yields. Meanwhile, CMBS exposure is focused on single asset single borrower deals that allow for a detailed analysis of the underlying property and sponsor, facilitating
bottom-up
inclusion criteria that includes higher yielding positions down the capital structure. ABS positions similarly reflect targeted positions including CLOs and high-quality
non-traditional
collateral types like single-family rentals.

The Fund did not use any of the available $70 million commitment of its Line of Credit facility during the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2025. Leverage is generally used when market opportunity is abundant and management deems the use of leverage accretive to returns.

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
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”). The Fund’s shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) 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
30

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
June 30, 2025
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
31

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (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.

June 30, 2025
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 fair valuations according to the inputs used as of June 30, 2025 in valuing the Fund’s investments is listed after the Investments by Sector table.
Following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Security Transactions and Related Investment Income:
Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend
date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual 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 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
35

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 ASC 210 Balance Sheet (“
ASC 210
”), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities that requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards.
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,
36

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
June 30, 2025
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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.
The following table presents the Fund’s OTC derivative assets by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under an ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreement and net of the related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of June 30, 2025:

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 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. MBS and other ABS held by the Fund at June 30, 2025 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
38

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
June 30, 2025
Note 3 — Portfolio Investments (Continued)
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 June 30, 2025.
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. 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 period ended June 30, 2025.
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 June 30, 2025 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Note 3 — Portfolio Investments (Continued)
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 period ended June 30, 2025, the Fund utilized treasury futures to help manage interest rate duration and credit market exposure. Futures contracts outstanding at June 30, 2025 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.
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.
40

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
June 30, 2025
Note 3 — Portfolio Investments (Continued)
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 period ended June 30, 2025, 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 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
41

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Note 3 — Portfolio Investments (Continued)
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.
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 period ended June 30, 2025, 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 June 30, 2025 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 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

Note 4 — Investment Objective, Investment Strategy, and Risk Considerations (Continued)
circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective through the use of the deriv
ati
ves.
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.
U.S. Trade Policy Risk:
There have been significant changes to United States trade policies, agreements, and tariffs, and in the future there may be additional significant changes. These and any future developments and continued uncertainty surrounding trade policies, agreements and tariffs, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, inflation and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict the access by issuers of the Fund’s portfolio securities to suppliers or customers, increase their supply-chain costs and expenses and could have material adverse effects on the Fund’s portfolio investments.
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.

Note 5 — Federal Income Taxes (Continued)
At June 30, 2025, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes is comprised of the following components:

Unrealized appreciation |  | $ | 13,113,020 |
Unrealized (depreciation) |  |  | (35,480,327 | )
Net unrealized appreciation |  | $ | (22,367,307 | )

The Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2025, 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.
The following table shows the character of distributed and undistributed amounts on a tax basis for the year ended December 31, 2024.

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 period ended June 30, 2025 purchases and sales or maturities of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated to $56,108,459 and $45,890,727, respectively, for
non-U.S.
Government securities, and aggregated to $243,477,855 and $257,540,523, 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 $38,240 from the Fund for the period ended June 30, 2025. 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
45

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Note 9 — Restricted Securities (Continued)
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 June 30, 2025 are listed below:

Issuer Description |  | Acquisition Date |  | Acquisition Cost |  |  | Aggregate Value |  |  | Percentage of Net Assets |
Academic Loan Funding Trust, Series 2012-1A, Class R, 0.00%, due 12/27/2044 |  | 11/1/2022 |  | $ | 735,000 |  |  | $ | 267,419 |  |  |  | 0.12 | %
COMM Mortgage Trust Series 2012-LC4, Class XB (I/O), 0.60%, due 12/10/44 |  | 1/22/2019 |  |  | 160,187 |  |  |  | 140 |  |  |  | 0.01 | %
HOA Funding LLC Series 2021-1A, Class A2, 4.72%, due 08/20/51 |  | 5/26/2023 |  |  | 466,756 |  |  |  | 133,782 |  |  |  | 0.06 | %
|  |  |  | $ | 1,361,943 |  |  | $ | 401,341 |  |  |  | 0.19 | %

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 State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”) which permits the Fund to borrow up to $70 million (i) an interest rate, to be determined by the Fund, either at (a) an Overnight Rate, defined as the higher of Federal Funds Effective Rate and the One Month Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in effect on the applicable day, plus 110.0 basis points (1.10%); or (b) a Term Rate, equal to One Month Adjusted Term SOFR, plus 110.0 basis points (1.10%). The Fund did not have any borrowings during the period ended June 30, 2025. 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.
Note 12 — New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosure requirements, including, but not limited to, those with respect to the Fund’s income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning
46

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
June 30, 2025
Note 12 — New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the ASU and its impact to the financial statements.
Note 13 — Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). This change is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment’s profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity’s segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures and providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Fund operates in one segment. The segment derives its revenues from Fund investments made in accordance with the defined investment strategy of the Fund, as prescribed in the Fund’s prospectus. A senior executive team comprised of the Fund’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, serves as the Fund’s CODM, who act in accordance with Board of Directors reviews and approvals. The CODM monitors and actively manages the operating results of the Fund. There have been no impacts to date.

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.
