Investment Objective

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.
