The Funds investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The
statutory prospectus and summary prospectus (if available) contains this and other important information about
the Funds, and it may be obtained by calling 1 (877) 354-6311/ 1 (877) DLINE11, or visiting
www.doublelinefunds.com. Read it carefully before investing.
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 Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities 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 certain types of investment derivatives. Derivatives involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. Derivatives may
involve certain costs and risk such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more
than the amount invested. The Fund may also invest in securities related to real estate, which may decline in value as a result of factors affecting the real estate industry.
The DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund intends to invest more than 50% of its net assets in mortgage-backed securities of any maturity or type. The Fund therefore, potentially is more likely to react to any
volatility or changes in the mortgage-backed securities marketplace. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets.
Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not forecasts and should not be considered investment advice.
DoubleLine Funds are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.
While the Funds are no-load, management fees and other expenses still apply. Please refer to the prospectus for further details.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security.

Investment Grade = Indices rated AAA to BBB- (shown above) are considered to be investment grade. A bond is considered investment grade if its credit rating is BBB- or higher by Standard &
Poors or Baa3 by Moodys. The higher the rating, the more likely the bond is to pay back at par/$100 cents on the dollar. AAA is considered the highest quality and the lowest degree of risk. They
are considered to be stable and dependable.
Below Investment Grade = Also known as junk bond (shown above) is a security rated below investment grade having a rating of BBB- or below. These bonds are seen as having higher default
risk or other adverse credit events, but typically pay higher yields than better quality bonds in order to make them attractive. They are less likely to pay back at par/$100 cents on the dollar.
