Launched on September 30, 2011, with Class N shares, the Fund is part of DoubleLine Funds Trust and domiciled in the United States; DoubleLine Capital LP, the investment adviser founded in 2009 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida (relocated from Los Angeles in February 2022), manages the Fund through its Fixed Income Asset Allocation Committee and sector specialist teams, with key portfolio managers including Jeffrey Gundlach (CEO and CIO since inception), Jeffrey Sherman, Robert Cohen (since 2016), and Luz Padilla (since 2011).
Recent portfolio characteristics as of October 2025 reflect ongoing active management with 818 issues held, an ending market value of $6.36 billion, and top holdings concentrated in U.S. Treasury Notes (e.g., T 0 5/8 03/31/27 at 5.38%, T 0 1/2 06/30/27 at 4.99%); the Fund reported YTD returns of 4.71% for Class N (as of October 31, 2025), outperforming its primary benchmark ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index (4.28%). DoubleLine Capital has maintained stable operations without major publicized acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or strategic shifts specific to DLSNX in the last 1-2 years, though the firm continues to distribute related share classes like Class I (DBLSX, inception 2011) and Class R6 (DDLDX, inception July 31, 2019) through Quasar Distributors, LLC, focusing on risk-adjusted returns amid elevated interest rates.
