DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund

DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, which engages in the investment to a portfolio of investments selected for their potential to provide high current income, growth of capital, or both. Its investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and its secondary objective is to seek capital appreciation. The company was founded on January 10, 2013 and is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA.

DSL is a closed-end fund that continues to trade at a slight premium; while a premium isn't unheard of, it also means it is no bargain today. In the latest report, the NII distribution coverage was declining, which isn't an encouraging sign. The portfolio is heavily invested in emerging markets, which carries some unique risks, but the portfolio also trades substantially below par.

The DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund offers a 10.21% yield, appealing for income-seeking investors, but is best held in tax-advantaged accounts due to high taxes on bond interest. The fund's performance has lagged peers, delivering a 12.89% total return over five years, making it difficult to understand its popularity. Long-term bonds appear to be offering a very poor tax and inflation-adjusted yield, which makes it difficult to make a case for buying bonds today.

Six years ago, I wrote my first article on investing, in which I outlined the criteria that had guided me when constructing my first income portfolio. I have tried to retrace here the steps leading up to that article and then subsequent developments in creating my current portfolio. Today, I favor CEFs and ETFs that, in addition to providing regular income, show a positive NAV performance since inception, thereby demonstrating their ability to also generate value over time.
