DoubleLine is a privately owned, employee-controlled asset management business founded by Jeffrey Gundlach and 45 colleagues in 2009 to offer investment management services with a cardinal mandate: to help deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to clients. The DoubleLine Floating Rate Income team’s investment philosophy is centered on a value-driven approach that analyzes credits individually for attractive return characteristics and strong downside protection. As each credit is underwritten, the team also considers it within the broader context of the industry in which it operates, the state of the loan market generally, and the condition of the macro economy. By pairing an in-depth credit underwriting process with DoubleLine’s broader thought leadership, the team can optimize the construction of its portfolios.

Prior to June 21, 2025, the Fund was named the American Beacon FEAC Floating Rate Income Fund. Effective after June 20, 2025, DoubleLine Capital LP began serving as sub-advisor to the Fund. Performance through June 20, 2025 reflects the Fund’s performance under the management of its prior sub-advisor.

Investments in high-yield securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”), including loans, CLOs, restricted securities and floating-rate securities, are subject to greater levels of credit, interest rate, market and liquidity risks than investment-grade securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that debt securities will decrease in value with increases in market interest rates. Credit risk is the risk that a debt issuer will fail to make timely payment of interest or principal; if the credit rating of an issuer declines, then the price of its debt securities may also decline. In addition, loans are subject to the risk that the Fund may not be able to obtain the collateral securing the loan in a timely manner, and the value of the collateral may not cover the amount owed on the loan. Geopolitical and other events have led to market disruptions causing adverse changes in the value of investments broadly. Changes in value may be temporary or may last for extended periods. Please see the prospectus for a complete discussion of the Fund’s risks. There can be no assurances that the investment objectives of this Fund will be met.
