The short version

Tcw Steel City is a sponsor group of 11 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, similar issuer names, same person name on both filings, same business address, shared management entity; automatic match from the filings), filing 20 Form D filings between Sep 2014 and Oct 2026.

What this means One team, 11 deal companies, about 12 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $5.83B to 377 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (11). Issuers are based in CA (8), MA (3).

What this means $5.83B raised across the group, about $15.5M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Richard T Miller (8 issuers, executive officer and director), Andrew Tarica (6 issuers, director), Saverio M. Flemma (6 issuers, director), Andrew Kim (5 issuers, executive officer and director), David Wang (5 issuers, executive officer and director) and 14 more.

What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 3 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Oct 1, 2026.

What this means Busy — still raising money this year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 5 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 20 public filings for Tcw Steel City and found 16 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Laird R Landmann is no longer listed on the Nov 29, 2023 amendment; MEREDITH JACKSON is no longer listed on the Mar 31, 2015 amendment; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

16 differences found between the filings for Tcw Steel City — 2 worth asking about (compared 20 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 6, 1995 – Sep 19, 1997

Bankruptcy case: Salisbury v. Landmann Usa, Inc — filed Jan 6, 1995

United States Bankruptcy Court, C.D. California docket "Salisbury v. Landmann Usa, Inc" filed Jan 6, 1995, closed Sep 19, 1997. Laird R Landmann (listed on the same filings) is listed as Defendant ("Landmann Usa, Inc"). Our match estimate: 70%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

The Nov 29, 2023 filing lists David Wang as executive officer; the Apr 1, 2026 Form D lists executive officer, director.

Reported net asset value range changed between filings — TCW Direct Lending VIII LLC

"Not Applicable" (Jan 21, 2022); then "Decline to Disclose" (Nov 29, 2023).

Member companies were formed in 2 different states

Delaware (10), Cayman Islands (1) — out of 11 member issuers. The odd ones out: TCW Steel City Senior Lending Cayman Feeder LP (Cayman Islands).

What this means Sponsors often form each deal company in Delaware or Wyoming no matter where the property is. A mix is common; it just tells you which state's rules each company lives under.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 11 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

None of the 11 issuers has a record in the registries searched.

Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file). A registry listing is the state's own record of the entity; it says nothing about the offering itself.

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

Searched SEC Form ADV bulk data (registered + exempt reporting advisers) (24,962 records as of Oct 2, 2026, 8:00 AM ET) — nothing matched Tcw Steel City.

Meta advertising

No Meta Pixel ids or Facebook / Instagram page links on file for Tcw Steel City as of Oct 24, 2026 — the sponsor website is read for them once it is on file (runs automatically). Meta Ad Library: not searched by PartnerFacts (no API access); a one-tap Ad Library search is under Look further.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.
