RE: | DoubleLine Funds Trust (File Nos. 333-164298, 811-22378) |
Dear Ms. Williams:
DoubleLine Funds Trust (the “Trust”) has filed the attached Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement of the Trust on Form N-1-A (the “Registration Statement”). Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Trust hereby requests acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for April 2, 2010, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
In support of its request for acceleration, the Trust acknowledges that:
1. Should the Commission or the staff acting pursuant to delegated authority declare the Registration Statement effective, such action does not foreclose any action by the Commission with respect to the filing;
2. The action of the Commission or the staff acting pursuant to delegated authority in declaring the filing effective does not relieve the Fund of responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the filing; and
3. The Trust will not assert the staff’s acceleration of effectiveness of the filing as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any other person under the federal securities laws.
Please direct any questions concerning the foregoing to Ray Shirazi at 212-504-6376.
