The DoubleLine Capital Total Return Bond Fund attracted the most money among U.S. mutual funds this year through June, according to estimates from Morningstar Inc. The fund received $11.5 billion, followed by the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (VGTSX), which attracted $8.9 billion, Morningstar said. The Pimco Total Return Bond Fund (PTTAX), the world's largest mutual fund, had the sixth-highest amount of deposits with $5.9 billion. The DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund (DBLTX), run by Doubleline Capital LP chief executive Jeffrey Gundlach and Philip Barach, had returned 5% this year through last Tuesday's close, beating 95% of similarly managed funds, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The $28 billion fund had returned 9.3% over the 12-month period ended last Tuesday, ahead of 98% of rivals. As of June 30, 31% of its assets were invested in nonagency residential-mortgage-backed securities, according to DoubleLine's website. The numbers are for open-end mutual funds and exclude money markets and funds of funds. This year through May, investors put $106 billion more into U.S. taxable-bond funds than they took out, Morningstar said. Domestic stock funds had $34 billion in net outflows over the same time period, while international stock funds had net inflows of $20 billion.
