The fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The statutory and summary prospectus contain this and other important information about the investment company and may be obtained by calling (855) 937-0772, or downloading from the fund document library on this website. Read them carefully before investing.

Investing in Exchange-Traded Funds involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Sector allocations and fund holdings are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Portfolio holdings generally are made available 30 days after month-end by visiting www.doubleline.com. The source for the information in this report is DoubleLine Capital, which maintains its data on a trade date basis.

The value of an instrument with a longer duration (whether positive or negative) will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a similar instrument with a shorter duration.

Credit Distribution is determined from the highest available credit rating from any Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Agency (NRSRO”, generally S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch) and is subject to change. DoubleLine chooses to display credit ratings using S&P’s rating convention, although the rating itself might be sourced from another NRSRO. The firm evaluates a bond issuer’s financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. The ratings apply to the credit worthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the fund itself. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from ‘AAA’, which is the highest grade, to ‘D’, which is the lowest grade. In limited situations when the rating agency has not issued a formal rating, the rating agency will classify the security as unrated.

There is the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell a portfolio investment at a desirable time or at the value the Fund has placed on the investment. Illiquidity may be the result of, for example, low trading volume, lack of a market maker, or contractual or legal restrictions that limit or prevent the Fund from selling securities or closing derivative positions.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

There is risk that borrowers may default on their mortgage obligations or the guarantees underlying the mortgage-backed securities will default or otherwise fail and that, during periods of falling interest rates, mortgage-backed securities will be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate.

The fund is a “non-diversified” investment company and therefore may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a limited number of issuers than funds that are “diversified.” Accordingly, the fund is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund might be.

Investing in ETFs involves additional risks such as the market price of the shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value ("NAV"), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a fund's ability to sell its shares.

Yield to maturity (YTM) does not represent return. YTM provides a summary measurement of an investment’s cash flows, including principal received at maturity based on a given price. Actual yields may fluctuate due to a number of factors such as the holding period, changes in reinvestment rates as cash flows are received and redeployed, receipt of timely income and principal payments. DoubleLine views YTM as a characteristic of a portfolio of holdings often used, along with other risk measures such as duration and spread, to determine the relative attractiveness of an investment.

30-Day SEC Yield – Standard yield calculation developed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer comparisons of bond funds. It is based on the most-recent 30-day period covered by the fund’s filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the fund’s dividends and interest earned during the period after the deduction of the fund’s expenses. It is also referred to as the “standardized yield.”
