TCW Group Inc. and Jeffrey Gundlach, its former chief investment officer, said they settled a lawsuit over Gundlach’s firing in 2009 and allegations he stole trade secrets to set up his own firm.
TCW and the company founded by Gundlach, DoubleLine Capital LP, “jointly announce that they have settled all claims between and among themselves as well as DoubleLine Funds Trust, Jeffrey Gundlach, and other individuals,” TCW said yesterday in a statement. “The terms of the settlement are confidential and the parties will not discuss them.” DoubleLine separately issued a statement confirming the agreement.
