Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results.  The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

Excess Return with Less Volatility

The DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund has delivered excess returns over the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index and the average return for Morningstar's intermediate-term bond fund category since the fund's inception eight years ago and over trailing five- and three-year periods, commonly used timeframes for evaluating fund performance.

The fund delivered those excess returns while experiencing less overall volatility, as measured by standard deviation of return, resulting in a higher Sharpe ratio than the benchmark and peer group average. The Sharpe ratio is a reward-to-risk measure which compares a fund's return to the volatility of that return. Thus higher Sharpe ratios indicate strong risk-adjusted performance versus lower Sharpe ratio.

The fund also experienced smaller maximum drawdowns than the benchmark and peer group average for the since-inception, five-year and three-year periods. Maximum drawdown is an index or asset's worst peak-to-trough return over a given time period, calculated as a percentage.
