About Peter Davidson
Peter Davidson (born 1972) serves as Vice President and Secretary of TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (TSI) and is Managing Director, Associate General Counsel, and Assistant Secretary at TCW affiliates; he has held the VP/Secretary role since December 2023 and joined TCW as Associate General Counsel in July 2022 . He previously served as Assistant General Counsel—Investment Products and Advisory Services at Northwestern Mutual (2020–July 2022), Associate General Counsel at Resolute Investment Managers (2019–August 2020), and Assistant General Counsel at Invesco Ltd. (2003–2019) . TSI’s proxy states that officers employed by the Advisor receive no compensation or reimbursement from the Company, so the fund does not disclose his base salary/bonus/equity details; TSI also maintains a Code of Ethics and submitted a NYSE Recovery Policy affirmation (clawback) in December 2023 . As of the 2024 and 2025 record dates, Davidson reported no beneficial ownership of TSI shares .

Investment Implications
- Alignment: Davidson reported no TSI share ownership at both 2024 and 2025 record dates, indicating limited direct equity alignment at the fund level; as an Advisor-employed officer, compensation is not paid by TSI and is not disclosed in the fund’s proxy, constraining pay-for-performance analysis for the fund entity .
- Governance and controls: Presence of a Code of Ethics and a NYSE Recovery Policy affirmation suggests established ethical and clawback frameworks; however, detailed compensation metrics, vesting schedules, and performance targets for Davidson are not provided by TSI .
- Trading signals: With zero reported beneficial ownership and no Form 4 data available via fund proxies, there is no visible insider selling pressure from Davidson at the TSI level; monitoring Advisor-level disclosures (outside TSI) would be required for comprehensive insider activity assessment .
- Retention risk: Absent employment agreement disclosure and given Advisor-based employment, retention risk cannot be assessed from TSI filings; continuity in the corporate secretary function is implied by his ongoing role across TCW fund entities since 2022–2023 .
