  • The Flexible Income fund came out in April of last year. Are we talking about another fund?
  • Apparently so. From the prospectus (TheShadow's link, above):
    This Prospectus tells you about the Class I and Class N shares of the DoubleLine Strategic Commodity Fund (the “Fund”), a series of DoubleLine Funds Trust (the “Trust”).

    Hmmm, looking at the past decade's real returns, commodities appear to have been "somewhat of an outlier.":) (h/t to Joshua Brown for posting this figure, cranked out by Research Affiliates’ Chris Brightman, on The Reformed Broker blog site yesterday as his Chart O' The Day)
  • I will say this: a rare example of a mutual fund company actually putting out a new product for an asset class that isn't doing well rather than piling on and putting out a new product because it's doing well and a hundred other companies are putting out a new product for that asset class. Good or bad? I dunno, just saying it usually seems like fund companies are adding new funds for asset classes only when they're doing well and everyone else is putting out new funds.
  • Yes, I noticed that also. Positioning the fund for the long haul, maybe?
