LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeffrey Sherman, portfolio manager of the DoubleLine Strategic Commodity Fund (the "Fund"), will explain the objective and mechanics of the Fund as well as the rationale for commodities in a portfolio invested in multiple asset classes. The Fund is open to investors in I shares (DBCMX) and N shares (DLCMX).

The webcast will start at 4:15 pm Eastern/1:15 pm Pacific today Tuesday September 29. To register, please click on the following link: https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1075451

The DoubleLine Strategic Commodity Fund seeks to deliver long-term total return. The Fund seeks to generate returns through a long-biased approach combining a strategic long-only strategy and a tactical long-short strategy, each strategy invested in commodity derivatives contracts. The result is a diversified, balanced portfolio covering the agriculture, energy, industrial metals and precious metals sectors of the real assets universe.

The rationale for the long-short strategy is to attempt to mitigate some of the volatility and downside risk of the commodities market while maintaining net long exposure of 50% to 100% to the market. The Fund will always allocate between 50% and 100% of Fund assets to the long-only strategy with the balance of Fund assets (i.e., 0% to 50% of Fund assets) to the long-short strategy. Allocations in the Fund's long-short strategy are dollar-neutral: in other words, the long and short positions of the long-short strategy are in equal amounts.

Real assets can fulfill several roles in a diversified portfolio. First, commodities can potentially diversify an investor's portfolio. Historically returns on commodities have exhibited low correlation or non-correlation to the returns of stocks and bonds, the "traditional" asset classes. Second, commodities potentially hedge against unexpected inflation. Third, an investment in commodities can generate positive returns from rising commodity prices and the shape of commodity futures term structure.

Mr. Sherman is a portfolio manager for derivative-based and multi-asset strategies at DoubleLine Capital LP ("DL Capital"). In managing the DoubleLine Strategic Commodity Fund on behalf of DoubleLine, he is supported by the analysts and traders in DoubleLine's Cross Asset team.

"The rationale for investing in commodities has several components," Mr. Sherman said. "A broad mix of commodities historically has shown low correlations to stocks, bonds and cash. So commodities can diversify a portfolio invested in traditional asset classes. In addition, commodities can serve as a hedge against unexpected inflation. Finally, incremental returns potentially can be obtained by exploiting the term structure of prices of individual commodities."

Mutual fund investing involves risk; Principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in commodities or commodity-linked derivative instruments may involve additional costs and risks such as changes in commodity index volatility or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. Investing in foreign securities involves political, economic, currency risks, greater volatility and differenced in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. Any index used by the Fund may not be widely used and information regarding its components and/or its methodology may not generally be known to industry participants, it may be more difficult for the Fund to find willing counterparties to engage in total or excess return swaps or other derivative instruments based on the return of the index. ETF and ETN investments involve additional risks such as the market price trading at a discount to its net asset value, an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a fund's ability to sell its shares. The Fund may use leverage which may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used. The Fund is non-diversified meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. The Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested.
