Seeks to maximize total return through investment principally in income-producing securities.
The Fund invests mainly in structured product securities, including mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) which deliver a high level of current income, capital appreciation or both, while providing diversification from corporate credit and diversifying levels of risk within the portfolio.
DoubleLine believes the most reliable way to enhance returns is to exploit inefficiencies within the subsectors of the bond market while maintaining active risk-management constraints.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.
Investments in lower-rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.
Investments in ABS and MBS include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
The fund may use leverage which may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the Fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used.
Derivatives involve special risks including correlation, counterparty, liquidity, operational, accounting and tax risks. These risks, in certain cases, may be greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments.
