Introduction

Rick
Our teacher today is Katie Koch, President and CEO of the TCW Group, a storied firm with more than $200 billion in assets under management and a fascinating 50-year legacy as a pioneer in the investment industry. Katie just took the TCW reins in 2023 after more than 20 years at Goldman Sachs, where she joined right after college as a self-proclaimed least capable person in the firm and rose to become Chief Investment Officer of their $300 billion public equity business.

Like Paul and I, Katie is a proud graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where she now serves on the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees as well as the Advisory Board of the Notre Dame Institute for Global Investing.
