DSL: The Distribution Is Nice, But It Is Not Sustainable

The DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund is rated a sell due to unsustainable distributions and ongoing NAV destruction. DSL's 13.55% yield masks realized and unrealized losses, with recent distributions exceeding net investment income and coupon receipts. Rising inflation and rates have pressured DSL, which underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index despite a large discount to NAV.

The DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund: A 12% Yield Backed By Risky Credit

DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund is a leveraged CEF focused on below-investment-grade bonds and emerging market debt, currently trading at a 6.6% discount to NAV. DSL's 12% dividend yield is not fully covered by investment income; only ~75% of distributions are from income, with the rest from return of capital, eroding NAV. The portfolio carries substantial left-tail risk due to high leverage and 80% exposure to sub-investment-grade or unrated credit, making it vulnerable in credit downturns.
