Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund
Investment Objective
The Fund’s objective is to seek high total return from current income and capital appreciation.
Philosophy
The Emerging Markets investment philosophy at DoubleLine is anchored by four key principles: 1) Emerging Markets debt is a secular improving credit story; 2) selection across regions, countries, and sectors, as well as issuers is fundamental to credit risk management; 3) avoiding potential problem credits and minimizing credit losses are as critical as selecting stable or improving credits; and 4) total returns will be derived from current income and capital gains.
