CHICAGO, Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC, a leading investment management firm specializing in opportunistic investment strategies, announced today that the RiverNorth/DoubleLine Strategic Income Fund (Class I Symbol: RNSIX, Class R Symbol: RNDLX) will be closed to new investors as of March 30, 2012.

The Fund combines RiverNorth's deep experience in trading closed-end funds with the fixed-income strategies of noted bond manager Jeffrey Gundlach, who serves as one of the Fund's portfolio managers, with the goal of capitalizing on the inefficiencies in both markets. The Fund marked the one-year anniversary of its launch on December 30, 2011.
"The fact that the RiverNorth/DoubleLine Strategic Income Fund has reached its capacity in just over one year is quite an accomplishment, especially in the current market environment," said Patrick Galley, Chief Investment Officer of RiverNorth. "We are committed to ensuring that our fund's assets don't exceed a level where they would alter or impact the Fund's investment strategy, which was our primary driver in deciding to soft-close the fund."
As the adviser to the Fund, RiverNorth allocates the Fund's assets among three principal strategies: tactical closed-end fund income strategy, core fixed income strategy, and opportunistic income strategy. RiverNorth manages the tactical closed-end fund income strategy while DoubleLine manages the core fixed income and opportunistic income strategies.
During its first year of operation, the Fund raised $675 million. Furthermore, fund assets have grown to $887 million as of February 21, 2012. RNSIX and RNDLX were the No. 3 and No. 4 top-performing funds, respectively, for the previous year as of December 31, 2011 in Morningstar's Multisector Bond Category, which consists of 250 funds.
