These releases consistently emphasized that tax characterizations—ordinary income, long-term capital gains, or return of capital—are finalized at year-end and reported on Form 1099-DIV in early 2026 or 2027. Price reactions around these prior declarations stayed modest, indicating today’s April 2026 distribution fits an established pattern of routine income announcements.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement detailed an April 2026 monthly distribution of $0.11 per share, along with specific declaration, ex-dividend, record, and payment dates. It reiterated that final tax characterization—ordinary income, long-term capital gains, or return of capital—will be determined at year-end and reported on Form 1099-DIV in early 2027. Viewed against a history of similar monthly declarations, investors may focus on whether future releases alter the distribution level or signal changes in portfolio management or income generation.

Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value, which may increase investors' risk of loss. This risk may be greater for investors expecting to sell their shares in a relatively short period after the completion of the public offering. There are risks associated with investment in the Fund.
Investments in debt securities typically decline in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a great risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Investment strategies may not achieve the desired results due to implementation lag, other timing factors, portfolio management decisions-making, economic or market conditions or other unanticipated factors. In addition, the Fund may invest in other asset classes and investments such as, among others, REITs, credit default swaps, short sales, derivatives and smaller companies which include additional risks. The DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified, closed-end management investment company.
