Objective

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide income. The Fund’s secondary investment objective is total return.

Approach

The Fund invests mainly in securitized credit products, 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.

Philosophy

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.

Process

Robust investment approach employing a qualitative and quantitative approach:

  • Qualitative: Thorough analysis of market trends and in-depth research contribute to affirming sector and subsector opportunities and assessing risk exposure.
  • Quantitative: Bottom-up security selection based on experience with proprietary methodology and “stress testing” scenarios across a range of interest rate and credit spread movements.

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.”

Information Regarding the Reorganization: DoubleLine Securitized Credit Fund, a series of DoubleLine Funds Trust (the "Predecessor Fund"), was reorganized into the Fund on January 30, 2026 following shareholder approval (the "Reorganization"). The Fund commenced operations as an ETF as of that date and, as a result of the Reorganization, the Fund assumed the performance and financial history of Class I Shares of the Predecessor Fund. Performance shown is based on the investment objective and investment strategies utilized by the Predecessor Fund, which are the same as or substantially similar to those of the Fund. While the Predecessor Fund is managed by a related party of the Adviser, the Predecessor Fund has the same portfolio management team as that of the Fund.
The performance table shows the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class I shares for each full calendar year since the Predecessor Fund’s inception. The Fund’s (and the Predecessor Fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations (which had applied to the Predecessor Fund since inception), performance would have been lower for the Predecessor Fund. Had the Predecessor Fund been structured as an ETF, its performance may have differed. Updated information on the Fund’s investment results, including its NAV per share, can be obtained at no charge by calling (855) 937 0772.
