Core holdings and sectors encompass U.S. Government securities (27%); non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS, 15%); investment grade corporate credits (14%); non-agency commercial MBS (CMBS, 14%); collateralized loan obligations (11%); asset-backed securities (8%); emerging markets debt (6%); agency RMBS (5%) and CMBS (0%); and cash equivalents, with an average duration of 1.58 years, weighted average life of 2.60 years, and 818 issues diversified across high-quality U.S. Treasuries, agency debt, and select below-investment-grade instruments up to 50% of assets. The Fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking short-term bond exposure with high current income, operates globally in U.S., international, and emerging fixed income markets, and is domiciled in the United States under DoubleLine Funds Trust, with the parent adviser headquartered in Tampa, Florida following its 2022 relocation from Los Angeles.
