Organization

DoubleLine Opportunistic Credit Fund (the “Fund”) was formed as a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and originally classified as a non-diversified fund. The Fund is currently operating as a diversified fund. The Fund has previously operated as a non-diversified fund and may operate as a non-diversified fund in the future to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 22, 2011 and commenced operations on January 27, 2012. The Fund is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “DBL”. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return by providing a high level of current income and the potential for capital appreciation.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946, ”Financial Services—Investment Companies”, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Security Valuation. The Fund has adopted US GAAP fair value accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2—Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or inputs derived from observable market data

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the reporting entity’s estimates and assumptions)

Assets and liabilities may be transferred between levels. The Fund uses end of period timing recognition to account for any transfers.

Market values for domestic and foreign fixed income securities are normally determined on the basis of valuations provided by independent pricing services. Vendors typically value such securities based on one or more inputs described in the following table which is not intended to be a complete list. The table provides examples of inputs that are commonly relevant for valuing particular classes of fixed income securities in which the Fund is authorized to invest. However, these classifications are not exclusive, and any of the inputs may be used to value any other class of fixed-income securities. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described in the following table are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent the significant inputs are unobservable, the values generally would be categorized as Level 3.

Investments in registered open-end management investment companies will be valued based upon the net asset value (“NAV”) of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells to a financial institution a security that it holds with an agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the risk that the market value of the security may decline below the repurchase price of the security. The Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the Adviser or otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements. Due to the short term nature of the reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value at June 30, 2018

Securities may be fair valued in accordance with the fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The valuation committee is generally responsible for overseeing the day to day valuation processes and reports periodically to the Board. The valuation committee and the pricing group are authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are deemed to be unreliable indicators of market or fair value.

The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2018:

Certain of the Fund’s assets/liabilities are held at face value, which approximates fair value for financial statement purposes. The following is a summary of such assets/liabilities as of June 30, 2018.

See the Schedule of Investments for further disaggregation of investment categories.

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:    

¹ Purchases include all purchases of securities and payups.

² Sales include all sales of securities, maturities, and paydowns.

³ Any difference between net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities held at June 30, 2018 may be due to a security that was not held or categorized as Level 3 at either period end.

⁴ Transfers into or out of Level 3 can be attributed to changes in the availability of pricing sources and/or in the observability of significant inputs used to measure the fair value of those instruments.

The following is a summary of quantitative information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements:

* Level 3 securities are typically valued by pricing vendors. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis by the Adviser, which may include back testing, results of vendor due diligence, unchanged price review and consideration of market and/or sector events.
