FRANCE/US – Société Générale Asset Management (SGAM) has completed its 51% purchase of Los Angeles based fund managers, TCW, by promoting Philippe Citerne, chief executive officer (CEO), and Philippe Collas, chairman and CEO of SGAM, to the board of directors of TCW.

Marc Stern, president of TCW Group, and Robert D Meyer, president of Trust Company of the West, have in return joined the board of directors of SGAM.
