Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses indirectly incurred by the Fund as a result of its investments in one or more underlying funds, including
exchange-traded funds and money market funds. Because these costs are indirect, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund’s financial statements, since financial statements
only include direct costs of the Fund and not the indirect costs of investing in the underlying funds.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
This example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The example
also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The
Fund incurs transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher
-2-
transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect
the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 83% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal
circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income instruments. These fixed income instruments include but are not limited to securities issued or
guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored corporations; corporate obligations (including foreign hybrid securities); mortgage-backed securities; asset-backed securities; foreign securities (corporate
and government); emerging market securities (corporate and government); bank loans and assignments; and other securities bearing fixed or variable interest rates of any maturity. If the Fund changes this investment policy, it will notify
shareholders at least 60 days in advance of the change.
The Fund may invest in fixed income instruments of any credit quality,
including those that are at the time of investment unrated or rated BB+ or lower by S&P or Ba1 or lower by Moody’s or the equivalent by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Fixed income instruments rated below
investment grade, or unrated securities that are determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, are high yield, high risk bonds, commonly known as junk bonds. The Fund may invest up to 33
1/3
% of its net assets in junk bonds, bank loans and assignments and credit default swaps of companies in the high yield
universe.
The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in defaulted corporate securities where the portfolio manager believes the restructured
enterprise valuations or liquidation valuations may exceed current market values. The Fund may invest a portion of its net assets in inverse floaters and interest-only and principal-only securities and a portion of its net assets in fixed income
instruments (including hybrid securities) issued or guaranteed by companies, financial institutions and government entities in emerging market countries. An “emerging market country” is a country that, at the time the Fund invests in the
related fixed income instruments, is classified as an emerging or developing economy by any supranational organization such as the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development or any affiliate thereof (the “
World Bank
”) or
the United Nations, or related
-3-
entities, or is considered an emerging market country for purposes of constructing major emerging market securities indexes.
The Fund may invest some of its assets in other investment companies, such as, for example, other open-end or closed-end investment companies, exchange-traded funds and domestic or foreign private investment
vehicles, including investment companies sponsored or managed by the Adviser and its affiliates.
In managing the Fund’s investments, under normal
market conditions, the portfolio manager uses a controlled risk approach. The techniques of this approach attempt to control the principal risk components of the fixed income markets and include consideration of:
|
•
|
|
security selection within a given sector;
|
|
•
|
|
relative performance of the various market sectors;
|
|
•
|
|
the shape of the yield curve; and
|
|
•
|
|
fluctuations in the overall level of interest rates.
|
The portfolio manager also utilizes active asset allocation in managing the Fund’s investments and monitors the duration of the Fund’s portfolio securities to seek to mitigate the Fund’s exposure to
interest rate risk. In managing the Fund’s investments, under normal market conditions, the portfolio manager intends to seek to construct an investment portfolio with a weighted average effective duration of no less than two years and no more
than eight years. Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed income instrument that is used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. Effective duration is a measure of the Fund’s portfolio
duration adjusted for the anticipated effect of interest rate changes on bond and mortgage pre-payment rates. The effective duration of the Fund’s investment portfolio may vary materially from its target, from time to time, and there is no
assurance that the effective duration of the Fund’s investment portfolio will not exceed its target.
Portfolio securities may be sold at any time.
Sales may occur when the Fund’s portfolio manager determines to take advantage of what the portfolio manager considers to be a better investment opportunity, when the portfolio manager believes the portfolio securities no longer represent
relatively attractive investment opportunities, when the portfolio manager perceives deterioration in the credit fundamentals of the issuer, or when the individual security has reached the portfolio manager’s sell target.

Principal Risks
Since the Fund will hold securities with fluctuating market prices, the value of the Fund’s shares will vary as its portfolio securities increase or
decrease in value. Therefore, the value of your investment in the Fund could go down as well as up. You can lose money by investing in the Fund.
The principal risks affecting the Fund that can cause a decline in value are:
|
•
|
|
affiliated fund risk:
the risk that, due to its own financial interest or other business considerations, the Adviser may choose to invest a portion
of the Fund’s assets in investment companies sponsored or managed by the Adviser or its affiliates in lieu of investments by the Fund directly in portfolio securities, or may choose to invest in such investment companies over investment
companies sponsored or managed by others. Similarly, the Adviser may delay or decide against the sale of interests held by the Fund in investment companies sponsored or managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.
|
|
•
|
|
asset-backed securities investment risk:
the risk that borrowers may default on the obligations that underlie the asset-backed security and that,
during periods of falling interest rates, asset-backed securities may be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate, and the risk that the impairment of the value of the
collateral underlying a security in which the Fund invests (due, for example, to non-payment of loans) will result in a reduction in the value of the security.
|
|
|
¡
|
|
credit risk:
the risk that an issuer or counterparty will fail to pay its obligations to the Fund when they are due. As a result, the Fund’s
income might be reduced, the value of the Fund’s investment might fall, and/or the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic, social or
political conditions that affect a particular type of security or other instrument or an issuer, and changes in economic, social or political conditions generally can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a
security’s or other instrument’s credit quality or value and an issuer’s or counterparty’s ability to pay interest and principal when due. The
|
-5-
|
|
values of lower-quality debt securities, including floating rate loans, tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes. The values of securities also may decline for a number of other reasons
that relate directly to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets.
|
|
|
¡
|
|
extension risk:
the risk that if interest rates rise, repayments of principal on certain debt securities, including, but not limited to, floating
rate loans and mortgage-related securities, may occur at a slower rate than expected and the expected maturity of those securities could lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss
when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply.
|
|
|
¡
|
|
interest rate risk:
the risk that debt securities will decline in value because of increases in interest rates. The value of a security with a
longer duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a similar security with a shorter duration. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their
prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those investments.
|
|
•
|
|
defaulted securities risk:
the risk of the uncertainty of repayment of defaulted securities and obligations of distressed issuers.
|
|
•
|
|
derivatives risk:
the risk that an investment in derivatives will not perform as anticipated by the Adviser, cannot be closed out at a favorable
time or price, or will increase the Fund’s volatility; that derivatives may create investment leverage; that, when a derivative is used as a substitute for or alternative to a direct cash investment, the transaction may not provide a return
that corresponds precisely with that of the cash investment; or that, when used for hedging purposes, derivatives will not provide the anticipated protection, causing the Fund to lose money on both the derivatives transaction and the exposure the
Fund sought to hedge.
|
|
•
|
|
emerging market country risk:
the risk that investing in emerging markets will be subject to greater political and economic instability, greater
volatility in currency exchange rates, less developed securities
|
-6-
|
|
markets, possible trade barriers, currency transfer restrictions, a more limited number of potential buyers, an emerging market country’s dependence on revenue from particular commodities or
international aid, less governmental supervision and regulation, unavailability of currency hedging techniques, differences in auditing and financial reporting standards, and less developed legal systems than in many more developed countries.
|
|
•
|
|
financial services risk:
the risk that an investment in issuers in the financial services sector may be adversely affected by, among other things:
(i) changes in the regulatory framework or economic conditions that may negatively affect financial service businesses; (ii) exposure of a financial institution to non-diversified or concentrated loan portfolios; (iii) exposure to
financial leverage and/or investments or agreements which, under certain circumstances, may lead to losses, for example sub-prime loans; and (iv) the risk that a market shock or other unexpected market, economic, political, regulatory, or other
event might lead to a sudden decline in the values of most or all companies in the financial services sector.
|
|
•
|
|
foreign currency risk:
the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments denominated in
foreign currencies.
|
|
•
|
|
foreign investing risk:
the risk that the Fund’s investments will be affected by political, regulatory, and economic risks not present in
domestic investments. In addition, when the Fund buys securities denominated in a foreign currency, there are special risks such as changes in currency exchange rates and the risk that a foreign government could regulate or restrict foreign exchange
transactions. In addition, to the extent that investments are made in a limited number of countries, events in those countries will have a more significant impact on the Fund.
|
|
•
|
|
inflation-indexed bond risk:
the risk that such bonds will change in value in response to actual or anticipated changes in inflation rates, in a
manner unanticipated by the Fund’s portfolio management team or investors generally. Inflation-indexed bonds are subject to debt securities risks.
|
|
•
|
|
junk bond risk:
the risk that these bonds have a higher degree of default risk and may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than
investment grade bonds.
|
-7-
|
•
|
|
leveraging risk:
the risk that certain investments by the Fund involving leverage may have the effect of increasing the volatility of the
Fund’s portfolio, and the risk of loss in excess of invested capital.
|
|
•
|
|
liquidity risk:
the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell a portfolio investment at a desirable time or at the value the Fund has placed on the
investment. Illiquidity may be the result of, for example, low trading volume, lack of a market maker, or contractual or legal restrictions that limit or prevent the Fund from selling securities or closing derivative positions. The values of
illiquid investments are often more volatile than the values of more liquid investments. It may be more difficult for the Fund to determine a fair value of an illiquid investment than that of a more liquid comparable investment.
|
|
•
|
|
market risk:
the risk that the overall market will perform poorly or that the returns from the securities in which the Fund invests will
underperform returns from the general securities markets or other types of investments.
|
|
•
|
|
mortgage-backed securities risk:
the risk that borrowers may default on their mortgage obligations or the guarantees underlying the mortgage-backed
securities will default or otherwise fail and that, during periods of falling interest rates, mortgage-backed securities will be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest
rate. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of a mortgage-backed security may extend, which may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security’s duration, and reduce the value of the security. Enforcing rights
against the underlying assets or collateral may be difficult, or the underlying assets or collateral may be insufficient if the issuer defaults. The values of certain types of mortgage-backed securities, such as inverse floaters and interest-only
and principal-only securities, may be extremely sensitive to changes in interest rates and prepayment rates.
|
|
•
|
|
portfolio management risk:
the risk that an investment strategy may fail to produce the intended results or that the securities held by the Fund
will underperform other comparable funds because of the portfolio manager’s choice of investments.
|
|
•
|
|
price volatility risk:
the risk that the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio will change, potentially frequently and in large amounts, as
the prices of its investments go up or down.
|
-8-
|
•
|
|
real estate risk:
the risk that real estate related investments may decline in value as a result of factors affecting the real estate industry,
such as the supply of real property in certain markets, changes in zoning laws, delays in completion of construction, changes in real estate values, changes in property taxes, levels of occupancy, and local and regional market conditions.
|
|
•
|
|
securities or sector selection risk:
the risk that the securities held by the Fund will underperform securities held in other funds investing in
similar asset classes or comparable benchmarks because of the portfolio manager’s choice of securities or sectors for investment.
|
|
•
|
|
U.S. Government securities risk:
the risk that debt securities issued or guaranteed by certain U.S. Government agencies, instrumentalities, and
sponsored enterprises are not supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, and so involve credit risk greater than investments in other types of U.S. Government securities.

Performance
The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares for each full calendar year since the
Fund’s inception. The table below the bar chart shows how the average annual returns of the Fund’s shares for the 1-year and since inception periods compare to those of a broad-based securities market index. The Fund’s past
performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations (which applied to the Fund from inception through July 24, 2012),
performance would have been lower. Updated information on the Fund’s investment results can be obtained at no charge by calling 877-DLine11 (877-354-6311) or by visiting the Fund’s website at www.doublelinefunds.com.

The Fund’s after-tax returns as shown in the above table are calculated using the historical highest applicable
individual federal marginal income tax rates for the period and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. If you own shares of the Fund in a
tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, after-tax returns shown are not relevant to your investment. The “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than other return
figures because when a capital loss occurs upon the redemption of shares of the Fund, a tax deduction is provided that may benefit the investor. After-tax returns are for Class I shares only. After-tax returns for other classes may vary. The
Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable and dollar-denominated. This index covers the U.S. investment-grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate
securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis.

The minimum investment may be modified for certain financial intermediaries that submit trades on behalf of underlying investors. Certain financial intermediaries also may have their own investment minimums, which
may differ from the Fund’s minimums, and may be waived at the intermediaries’ discretion. The Fund reserves the right to change or waive the minimum initial and subsequent investment amounts without prior notice or to waive the minimum
investment amounts for certain intermediaries or investors in its discretion.
Tax Information
The Fund’s distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account. If you invest through such tax-advantaged arrangements, you may be taxed later upon withdrawal from those arrangements.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a
broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Adviser, and the Fund’s distributor or any of their affiliates may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may
create a conflict of interest by influencing the financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your individual salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
