Investment Goal
The Fund seeks high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
Market Conditions
Global markets were turbulent at times, producing varied results during the reporting period. Investors grappled with mixed global economic data, questions about future monetary policy, fluctuating oil prices and the ramifications of the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union (EU) in June. As a result, the year was characterized by periods of calm punctuated by sharp market selloffs. After raising interest rates in December 2015, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) subsequently adopted a more dovish tone in early 2016, given the increasingly mixed global economic outlook. The Fed maintained its cautious stance through the rest of the period, while other major central banks remained highly accommodative. Ultimately, equity and fixed-income markets produced strong returns over the reporting period.
Equity market returns varied by region. U.S. equities performed well as the modest U.S. economic recovery continued. In contrast, U.K. equities were weaker, partly due to currency moves, as the British pound fell sharply versus the U.S. dollar following the June Brexit vote.
The bouts of volatility triggered flights to quality that supported global fixed-income markets, particularly during the first quarter of 2016, when global bonds rallied. Highly accommodative central bank policy supported bond prices, despite forcing many government — and even some corporate — bond yields into negative territory.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2016, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Global Equity and Income Fund returned 9.64%. The fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index, which returned 12.02%. The fund underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, which returned 9.71%. Effective September 30, 2016, the fund’s primary benchmark changed from the MSCI World Index to the MSCI All Country World Index and the fund’s secondary benchmark changed from the Citigroup World Government Bond Index to a blended benchmark of 60% MSCI All Country World Index / 40% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index.

Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund’s target allocations between equity and fixed-income shifted in favor of equity, as we found more opportunities in the equity market.
Within the fund’s equity component, the healthcare sector was the most significant drag on absolute and relative performance, largely due to the pharmaceuticals industry. In particular, Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a Canada-based drug company, weighed on results. The company’s stock struggled on concerns about Valeant’s accounting practices and its relationship with a small specialty online pharmacy (Philidor). In addition, the company faced a potential congressional subpoena regarding aggressive drug price increases. Valeant’s higher leverage, largely due to its mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategy, led to increased risks for the company’s cash flow, which intensified investor concerns. We sold the position in October 2015. Another drug company — Alexion Pharmaceuticals — also detracted from performance. The company experienced delays in Latin American product revenues due to currency issues and the negative effects of continued low oil prices on the region. Alexion also suffered in sympathy with the broad biotechnology sector, which sold off aggressively in the first quarter of 2016. Alexion’s stock stumbled further after the Brexit vote due to investor concerns about currency fluctuation, given the large amount of company revenue based in the U.K. We eliminated the position in June 2016. Elsewhere in the pharmaceuticals industry, Allergan suffered in sympathy with Valeant, given its similar M&A strategy. However, unlike Valeant, the company had no questionable ties with specialty pharmaceutical companies or egregious price increases. We continue to own Allergan due to the company’s current valuation, solid cash position (after the sale of their generics business to Teva) and strong discipline in delivering cash to shareholders.
U.S. dollar appreciation relative to foreign currencies challenged some of the fund’s non-U.S.-dollar-denominated holdings during the period. During the period the amount of income available to be distributed by the fund was reduced to reflect the realization of currency losses from certain bond sales and maturities. Within the fund’s fixed-income component, an allocation to the Mexican peso weighed on return. Fiscal and trade balance concerns persisted in Mexico, and asset class hedging and investor flows were not favorable. Holdings in the British pound also detracted from performance. The currency ended the period weaker due to concerns about Brexit-related negotiations and economic uncertainty.
On a positive note, the information technology, consumer discretionary and industrial sectors were the largest contributors to the equity component’s absolute and relative performance. Stock selection was the primary driver of outperformance in all three sectors.
In terms of individual contributors, a position in Alibaba aided performance. The China-based e-commerce company outperformed due to accelerating revenue growth fueled by improved monetization (particularly in mobile), better-than-expected margins and positive cash flow generation. The company used its cash flow for thoughtful M&A and modest share buybacks. Additionally, Alibaba provided visibility on a variety of key businesses, and our confidence in the stock remains high. TransDigm, an aerospace components manufacturer, was another main contributor during the period. TransDigm delivered strong results in the last four quarters, with the commercial aftermarket business driving

top-line growth and improved margin performance. In addition to delivering strong organic results, management allocated $1.5 billion of capital to acquisitions, which we believe will drive margin and free cash flow growth. We continue to have a favorable view of the business and its prospects. A position in Facebook was also a top contributor, outperforming due to improved revenue, margins, cash flow and a lower tax rate. The social media company is quickly attacking the total addressable market and ramping up key properties where its penetration has only begun. We believe management has thoughtfully strengthened the platform year after year.
Within the fixed-income segment, security selection among lower-rated investment grade and high-yield issuers, including hard currency emerging markets, contributed to performance. These issues outperformed their higher-rated counterparts, largely due to investor demand for higher-yielding assets in a low-yield environment. In particular, energy and basic industry holdings added notable value, aided by improved commodity prices. Selections among communications and consumer (cyclical and non-cyclical) issuers also performed well. In addition, the U.S. yield curve flattened throughout the period, further supporting the portfolio’s longer duration (greater price sensitivity to interest rate changes) and higher-yielding names. Elsewhere, our global bank holdings were positive, despite pressure in the banking sector from low interest rates and Brexit-related uncertainty.
Outlook
We expect the euro zone, England, and Japan to continue expansionary monetary policies to spur growth, though the benefits may be waning. Fiscal policy responses may be the next step. The U.S. economy remains on sure footing. We believe the Fed will raise rates in December 2016, but the market is divided on the issue. The Fed is likely to take a moderate approach to rate hikes heading into 2017 as growth and inflation forecasts remain benign.
Since early 2015, ordinary income distributions for certain Loomis Sayles-managed fixed-income funds have been reduced, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency losses. Fund officers have analyzed the fund’s current portfolio of investments, schedule of maturities and the corresponding amounts of unrealized currency losses that may become realized in the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2017. Based on this analysis, fund officers believe that realized currency losses may have a less significant impact on this fund’s distributions in the 2017 fiscal year. As a result, the distribution amount may improve going forward. This analysis is based on certain assumptions, including but not limited to the level of foreign currency exchange rates, security prices, interest rates and the net asset level of the fund. Changes to these assumptions could impact the analysis and the amounts of future fund distributions.
The U.S. presidential election in November can add to global uncertainty and may be a catalyst for volatility heading into year-end. Europe is also facing challenges, with the migrant crisis fraying EU cohesion and the risk of political instability and EU referendum contagion spreading across the euro zone. The upcoming Italy reform referendum could lead to risk aversion and broad selloffs in peripheral government debt and bank corporate bonds. Elsewhere, OPEC has indicated it may cut oil production at its November meeting, which

may cause oil prices to appreciate modestly. However, we believe there is a ceiling to oil price appreciation, because rising prices may attract additional production to the market. Ultimately, we believe prices will remain fairly range bound at about $45 to $50 a barrel into 2017.

Investment Goal

Market Conditions
Despite several bouts of heightened volatility, U.S. stocks continued to rally, posting solid double-digit gains for the 12-month period. Non-U.S. stocks also advanced sharply, driven by strong gains in the emerging markets. Early in the period, anticipation surrounding the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) strategy for monetary policy normalization — combined with sluggish U.S. economic growth, slowing growth in China, and plunging oil prices — triggered strong month-to-month volatility. The Fed finally lifted short-term rates in December and indicated more tightening would come in 2016. Stocks generally declined until mid-February, when a turnaround in the oil markets, combined with signs that China’s economy was stabilizing, helped restore investor optimism and drive stock prices higher. Strong volatility resurfaced again in June, when U.K. citizens voted to exit the European Union (E.U.). This event sparked a brief selloff among stocks and other riskier assets. But cooler heads ultimately prevailed and a recovery rally ensued. Central banks in Europe, the U.K. and Japan pledged additional support, while the Fed continued to hold rates steady. Better-than-expected corporate earnings reports and modestly improving economic data also encouraged investors, and stocks generally remained on an upward course through September 30.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2016, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Growth Fund returned 21.32%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 13.76%.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The Fund’s positions in Amazon, Alibaba, and Facebook contributed to performance. Stock selection in the information technology, consumer discretionary and energy sectors, along with our overweight position in information technology and underweight in consumer discretionary, contributed to relative performance. Among individual holdings, global e-commerce company Amazon was a main contributor. During the period, the company reported strong growth in revenue that exceeded consensus expectations and strong gross merchandise volume (GMV) globally. Amazon Web Services (AWS) also posted impressive revenue growth that was significantly higher than our estimate for overall spending by businesses on enterprise information technology (IT). With its sales mix

Table of Contents
LOOMIS SAYLES GROWTH FUND
shifting increasingly to third-party e-commerce sales, AWS, advertising revenue and higher-margin product categories, Amazon reported solid margins and significant free cash flow growth even while the company continued making strategic investments. We believe Amazon is one of the best-positioned companies in e-commerce and enterprise IT — each addressing large, underpenetrated markets where secular growth is still in its early stages.
In addition, China-based e-commerce company Alibaba was a top contributor. The company reported fundamentally strong results during the period, with revenue growth consistently exceeding consensus expectations and GMV increased at a higher rate than the overall growth rate in China’s retail commerce. Growth drivers included better monetization and increasing consumer engagement. The higher monetized mobile platform now accounts for 75% of the company’s total GMV, up from 55% just one year ago. At the end of the period, the company reported 434 million monthly active users, with 427 million active monthly mobile users that represented a 39% increase compared with last year. China’s structural shift to e-commerce is the secular growth driver for Alibaba. Its competitive advantages include its strong brand, the powerful network and ecosystem of its interconnected sites, and economies of scale. We believe the current market price embeds expectations for key revenue and cash flow growth drivers that are well below our long-term assumptions.
Social media company Facebook reported robust revenue growth throughout the period and continued to take market share. The company’s growth rate was more than three times that of its online competitors and significantly higher than traditional advertisers. Mobile advertising grew to 84% of Facebook’s advertising revenue during the period and was up from 76% a year ago. Facebook’s user base grew 15% year over year to 1.7 billion users, with 87% residing outside North America. Free cash flow remained robust during the period. The global secular shift from traditional advertising to online advertising is the largest growth driver for Facebook. We believe Facebook’s unique attributes, such as its brand and network and social advantages, position the company to drive revenue, cash flow growth, and market share gains as this long-term secular shift progresses.
On the down side, positions in Novo Nordisk, Novartis, and SEI Investments detracted from performance. At a sector level, stock selection in the financials sector detracted from relative performance. In terms of individual holdings, a position in Novo Nordisk, a diabetes-focused pharmaceutical company, was a main detractor. The company reported fundamentally solid growth during the period led by strong performance of its next-generation insulin products and non-insulin anti-diabetic therapy, Victoza. However, the company’s stock price experienced near-term pressure due to lower-than-expected management guidance and missing consensus expectations in the second half of the period. We continue to believe Novo’s competitive advantages, including deep experience in diabetes care and therapeutic proteins, a robust infrastructure that took decades to build, efficient manufacturing techniques and a robust pipeline and economies of scale, are difficult to replicate. Accordingly, we believe Novo Nordisk has an unmatched ability to engineer, formulate, develop and deliver value-added treatments for unmet patient needs. We believe the company’s shares are currently selling below our estimate of intrinsic value (our estimate of the true worth of a business, which we define as the present value of all

Table of Contents
expected future net cash flows to the company) and offer an attractive reward-to-risk opportunity.
A position in Novartis was another detractor from performance. The company’s branded and generic (Sandoz) pharmaceutical businesses reported solid results during the period, but they were modestly offset by near-term weakness in the company’s Alcon eye care division. This weakness was due to lower demand for surgical equipment in the U.S. and emerging markets as well as increasing competition from cheaper generic allergy products with expiring patents in the U.S. We believe Novartis has significant competitive advantages, including its brand, culture of innovation, product breadth, clinical trials expertise, powerful distribution network and the benefits of scale. We believe Novartis is well positioned to benefit from significant long-term opportunities driven by global population growth and the emphasis on improving healthcare standards in developed and emerging markets.
Although asset manager SEI Investments reported solid revenue growth during the period, management reiterated its decision to augment capital investments in sales, operational capacity and technology, which led to concerns about near-term profitability and pressured the stock price. Share prices recovered somewhat later in the period, when reported earnings exceeded expectations and net new sales events had the second-highest quarter since 2010. SEI’s high-quality business model benefits from high recurring revenues and high switching costs for customers, which has led to average banking client relationships of more than 17 years. Over our investment time horizon, we believe SEI will be able to grow margins faster than revenue and generate double-digit free cash flow growth.
Outlook
Our investment process is characterized by bottom-up, fundamental research and a long-term investment time horizon. The nature of the process leads to a lower-turnover portfolio in which sector positioning is the result of stock selection. The fund ended the quarter with overweight positions in the information technology, consumer staples, financials and energy sectors and underweight positions in the consumer discretionary, industrials and healthcare sectors. We did not own positions in the materials, real estate, telecommunication services and utilities sectors.

Investment Goal
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and income.
Market Conditions
Despite a fair amount of volatility, equity market performance was positive for the 12-month period. Although the Federal Reserve (the Fed) neglected to raise short-term interest rates at its September meeting, the probability for a 2016 rate hike increased, driving the 10-year Treasury yield higher in the final months of the period. Accordingly, equity market leadership changed hands recently, favoring the more cyclical sectors (technology, financials and industrials) and finally providing a small headwind to the more defensive sectors (telecommunications, utilities and staples). Energy temporarily faded to the background in terms of global headlines, supplanted perhaps by the U.S. presidential election, the results of which likely will influence market sentiment during the fourth quarter.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2016, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Value Fund returned 9.65%. The fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, which returned 16.20%.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Although all sectors contributed positively to absolute return, stock selection within the healthcare, financial and energy sectors, combined with an overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector, weighed heavily on relative performance. Meanwhile, stock selection within the industrials sector contributed most to overall performance.
In terms of individual holdings, a position in Marathon Oil, an independent exploration and production company, was a primary detractor. The stock was particularly weak in the face of falling oil prices in January. At the same time, concerns about the company’s balance sheet emerged, as leverage appeared exceedingly high given the outlook for commodity prices. By mid-February, Marathon had become a fairly small position in the fund, and we decided to exit the holding and reallocate the proceeds into Hess. We believed Hess offered upside potential similar to Marathon but with much less risk.
In addition, shares of Knowles, a manufacturer of cellular microphones, declined early in the period, as investors grew concerned about a potential major slowdown in the global
11 |
Table of Contents
smartphone market. Such a slowdown could have a substantially negative impact on Knowles. Given our small weighting in the company, and the fact that it dropped below $1 billion in market capitalization, we exited the stock in the first quarter of 2016.
A position in pharmaceutical company Teva also weighed on relative performance. Several factors contributed to the stock’s underperformance, including generic price deflation, concerns about Teva’s acquisition of Allergan’s generic business, and a litigation risk that could invalidate the company’s intellectual property on its most profitable drug.
On the positive side, software company Microsoft was a top contributor, largely due to its transition from license to subscription revenue for its applications and to its growing new market for Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS–Azure). Microsoft has shown a sharper pace of innovation and a willingness to partner with leading technology innovators, all while reining in costs and returning substantial cash to shareholders.
Shares of Symantec, also a software company, climbed materially as the firm stepped up its focus on the security market by divesting Veritas and acquiring Blue Coat Systems, a leading provider of advanced web security solutions. We are optimistic about the acquisition of Blue Coat, as it provides Symantec with exposure to rapidly growing segments of the security business. The deal also put Blue Coat’s CEO in charge of the whole enterprise, which we believe is a positive factor.
A position in pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. also was a main contributor to absolute performance. The stock performed well due to the launch of the company’s immune oncology drug, Keytruda, for the treatment of lung cancer.
Outlook
With major U.S. equity indices at or close to record highs, the bull market remains intact. However, it is now the second-longest bull market since the 1930s. In general, bull markets do not die of old age; instead, they falter when intervening macroeconomic events, such as rising inflation, cause central banks to tighten monetary policy for an extended period. Currently, we believe the Fed may raise interest rates 25 basis points by year-end, but all signs point to a very slow, deliberate tightening cycle. These measured expectations helped prolong the business cycle and fuel the rally in stock prices. If equity earnings move back to a growth mode later this year and in 2017, we expect equity performance to remain balanced across the market cap spectrum and among growth and value styles.
We will continue to take a security-specific approach to investing. As always, we view opportunities as defined by our reward to risk profiles, regardless of the direction of the markets.

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of, and not necessarily indicative of, future results. Total return and value will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For most recent month-end performance, visit ngam.natixis.com. Performance for other share classes will be greater or less than shown based on differences in fees and sales charges. You may not invest directly in an index. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. The table(s) do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares.
1 | Prior to 6/1/07, performance of Class A shares is that of Retail Class shares, which were redesignated as Class A shares, restated to reflect the sales load of Class A shares. Prior to the inception of Class C shares (6/1/07), performance is that of Institutional Class shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses and sales loads of Class C shares. Prior to the inception of Admin Class shares (2/1/10), performance is that of Class A shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses of Admin Class shares. |
2 | Performance for Class C shares assumes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase. |
3 | Russell 1000® Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. |
4 | Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower. |
5 | As of the most recent prospectus, the investment advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (with certain exceptions) once the expense cap of the Fund has been exceeded. This arrangement is set to expire on 1/31/17. When an expense cap has not been exceeded, the Fund may have similar expense ratios. |

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different types of costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Fund’s prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first line in the table for each class of Fund shares shows the actual account values and actual fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from April 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period row as shown below for your class.
The second line in the table for each class of Fund shares provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line in the table of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements, typically for an additional one-year period. After the Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements.
In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”) believes to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreements. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Funds and the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ expenses to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Adviser, if any, and to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Adviser and (v) information obtained through the completion by the Adviser of a questionnaire distributed on behalf of the Trustees. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considers other matters such as (i) the Adviser’s financial results and financial condition, (ii) each Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Adviser’s investment staff and its use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (iii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (iv) the procedures employed to determine the value of the Funds’ assets, (v) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including, if applicable, allocations to brokers affiliated with the Adviser and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay Fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, (vi) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies, (vii) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (viii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Adviser.
In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their annual consideration of the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board that provide detailed information about the Funds’ investment performance and the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing each Fund’s performance and fee differentials against each Fund’s peer group/category,
| 18
Table of Contents
performance ratings provided by a third-party, total return information for various periods, and third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing a Fund against similarly categorized funds. The portfolio management team for each Fund or other representatives of the Adviser make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and Funds identified as presenting possible performance concerns may be subject to more frequent board presentations and reviews. In addition, each quarter the Trustees are provided with detailed statistical information about each Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.
The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at its meeting held in June 2016. The Agreements were continued for a one-year period for the Funds. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates.
The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, but also the monitoring and oversight services provided by NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”). They also considered the administrative services provided by NGAM Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds. For each Fund, the Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is part of a family of funds that offers shareholders the right to exchange shares of one type of fund for shares of another type of fund, and provides a variety of fund and shareholder services.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreements.
Investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information that compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups and categories of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that also measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.
With respect to each Fund, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreement relating to that Fund. In the case of the Loomis Sayles Value Fund, the performance of which lagged that of a relevant peer group median and/or category median for certain (although not all) periods, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements. These factors included the following: (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions by the Adviser that were reasonable and
19 |
Table of Contents
consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; and (2) that the Fund’s long-term performance was competitive when compared to relevant performance benchmarks or peer groups.
The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Adviser to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Adviser to take steps intended to improve performance.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the performance of the Funds and the Adviser supported the renewal of the Agreements.
The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their respective relationships with the Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory services as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and also by an independent third party) of the Funds’ advisory fees and total expense levels to those of their peer groups and information about the advisory fees charged by the Adviser to comparable accounts (such as institutional separate accounts), as well as information about differences in such fees and the reasons for any such differences. In considering the fees charged to comparable accounts, the Trustees considered, among other things, management’s representations about the differences between managing mutual funds as compared to other types of accounts, including the additional resources required to effectively manage mutual fund assets and the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of such assets. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory fee, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of such Fund and the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation and the potential need to expend additional resources to the extent the Funds grow in size. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps for various funds in the fund family. They noted that all three of the Funds included in this report have expense caps in place, and the Trustees considered that the current expenses of each Fund are below the cap.
The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ relationships with the Funds, and information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability, including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser compensation or profitability were issues, the performance of the relevant Funds, the expense levels of the Funds, and whether the Adviser had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to such Funds.

Table of Contents
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fee charged to each of the Funds was fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates in respect of their relationships with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Adviser and whether those economies are shared with the Funds through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense waivers or caps. The Trustees also discussed with management the factors considered with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense waivers or caps for certain funds. Management explained that a number of factors are taken into account in considering the possible implementation of breakpoints or an expense cap for a fund, including, among other things, factors such as a fund’s assets, the projected growth of a fund, projected profitability and a fund’s fees and performance. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that each Fund’s management fee and overall net expense ratio was at or below median compared to a peer group of funds and that each of the Funds was subject to an expense cap or waiver. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and a relative basis) and the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationships with the Funds, as discussed above.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.
The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:
· | The effect of recent market and economic events on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund. |
· | Whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Adviser. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates were providing to the Funds. |
· | The nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Adviser and its affiliates, both under the Agreements and under separate agreements covering administrative services. |
· | So-called “fallout benefits” to the Adviser, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Adviser to provide distribution, administrative and brokerage services to the Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the benefits to the parent company of NGAM Advisors from the retention of the Adviser. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest. |
21 |
Table of Contents
· | The Trustees’ review and discussion of the Funds’ advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years. |
Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of the existing Agreements should be continued through June 30, 2017.

1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Loomis Sayles Global Equity and Income Fund (the “Global Equity and Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Value Fund (the “Value Fund”)
Each Fund is a diversified investment company.
Each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. In addition, Growth Fund and Value Fund offer Class N shares and Value Fund offers Admin Class shares. As of the close of business on January 11, 2016, Class B shares were converted into Class A shares and are no longer offered.
Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered with no initial minimum investment to certain retirement plans held in an omnibus fashion and fund of funds that are distributed by NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“NGAM Distribution”) and with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000 to other categories of investors. Class Y shares are generally intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Funds’ prospectus. Admin Class shares do not pay a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, but do pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Class N and Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries.
Most expenses can be directly attributed to a Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”). Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (such as the Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A, Class C and Admin Class ), and transfer agent fees are borne collectively for Growth Fund and Value Fund Class A, Class B, Class C and Admin Class (for Value Fund) and individually for Class N. In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan.

Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to year-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
a. Valuation. Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:
Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and

September 30, 2016
senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by a Fund.
Illiquid securities for which market quotations are readily available and have been evaluated by the adviser are considered and classified as fair valued securities.
As of September 30, 2016, securities held by Global Equity and Income Fund were fair valued as follows:
Equity | Percentage | Securities | Percentage | Securities fair | Percentage | |||||
$289,507,281 | 18.8% | $3,086,233 | 0.2% | $123,730 | Less than 0.1% |
1 | Certain foreign equity securities were fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities. |
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an
| 70
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
September 30, 2016
accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium, if applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
c. Short Sales. A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own, usually in anticipation of a decline in the fair market value of the security. To sell a security short, a Fund typically borrows that security from a prime broker and delivers it to the short sale counterparty. Short sale proceeds are held by the prime broker until the short position is closed out and would be reflected as due from broker in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When closing out a short position, a Fund will have to purchase the security it originally sold short. The value of short sales is reflected as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is marked-to-market daily.
During the period ended September 30, 2016, Value Fund was due to receive shares of AdvanSix, Inc. as part of a corporate action. The Fund sold its shares on a when-issued basis prior to receiving them. This transaction is presented in the Portfolio of Investments as a short sale. Since the Fund did not borrow the security and did not utilize a prime broker, proceeds from the sale are reflected as receivable for securities sold short in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
d. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Fund has net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Fund.

September 30, 2016
The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.
For the year ended September 30, 2016, the amount of income available to be distributed has been reduced by $5,333,285 for Global Equity and Income Fund.
The Funds may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
e. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Funds’ investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.
f. Due to/from Brokers. Transactions and positions in certain forward foreign currency contracts are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between a Fund and the various broker/dealers. The due to brokers balance in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for Global Equity and Income Fund represents cash received as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts. The due from brokers balance in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for Global Equity and Income Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts. In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.
g. When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Funds may enter into when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. When-issued refers to transactions made
| 72
Table of Contents

September 30, 2016
conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not been issued. Delayed delivery refers to transactions for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of when-issued and delayed delivery securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The security and the obligation to pay for it are recorded by the Funds at the time the commitment is entered into. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations during the time before the Funds take delivery of the security. No interest accrues to the Funds until the transaction settles.
Delayed delivery transactions include those designated as To Be Announced (“TBAs”) in the Portfolios of Investments. For TBAs, the actual security that will be delivered to fulfill the transaction is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. Certain transactions require the Funds or counterparty to post cash and/or securities as collateral for the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding delayed delivery commitments by segregating or earmarking cash or securities at the custodian.
Purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds’ NAV as if the Funds’ had created a degree of leverage in the portfolio. Risks may arise upon entering into such transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the transactions. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.
h. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of September 30, 2016 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.
A Fund may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts

eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.
i. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, foreign currency gains and losses, paydown gains and losses, contingent payment debt instruments, capital gain and return of capital distributions received, convertible bonds, distribution re-designations and premium amortization. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, forward foreign currency contract mark-to-market, wash sales, premium amortization, contingent payment debt instruments, capital gains taxes, trust preferred securities, convertible bonds and return of capital distributions received. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
2016 Distributions Paid From: | 2015 Distributions Paid From: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Fund | Ordinary | Long-Term | Total | Ordinary | Long-Term | Total | ||||||||||||||||||

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.
As of September 30, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

j. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of September 30, 2016, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
k. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the year ended September 30, 2016, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
l. Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and |
• | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

A debt security valued at $164,300 was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the period ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2015, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies. At September 30, 2016, this security was valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser as an independent pricing service did not provide a reliable price for the security.

A debt security valued at $164,657 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2015, this security was valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser as an independent pricing service did not provide a reliable price for the security. At September 30, 2016, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.
All transfers are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period.
4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that Global Equity and Income Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts.
Global Equity and Income Fund is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Fund’s holdings of foreign securities. The Fund may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the Fund. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.
The following is a summary of derivative instruments for Global Equity and Income Fund as of September 30, 2016, as reflected within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities

Transactions in derivative instruments for Global Equity and Income Fund during the year ended September 30, 2016 as reflected within the Statements of Operations were as follows:
Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: | Foreign currency transactions1 | |||
Foreign exchange contracts | $ | 1,393,445 |
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation | Foreign currency translations1 | |||
Foreign exchange contracts | $ | 98,070 |
1 | Represents realized gain and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation), respectively, for forward foreign currency contracts during the period. Does not include other foreign currency gains or losses included in the Statements of Operations. |
As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the Statement of Operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.
The volume of forward foreign currency contract activity, as a percentage of net assets, for Global Equity and Income Fund, based on gross month-end notional amounts outstanding during the period, including long and short positions at absolute value, was as follows for the year ended September 30, 2016:
Global Equity and Income Fund | Forwards | |||
Average Notional Amount Outstanding | 6.60 | % | ||
Highest Notional Amount Outstanding | 7.27 | % | ||
Lowest Notional Amount Outstanding | 5.77 | % | ||
Notional Amount Outstanding as of September 30, 2016 | 7.06 | % |
Notional amounts outstanding at the end of the prior period are included in the average notional amount outstanding.
Unrealized gain and/or loss on open forwards is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The aggregate notional values of forward contracts are not recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and therefore are not included in the Fund’s net assets.
Global Equity and Income Fund enters into over-the-counter derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements negotiated between the Fund and its counterparties. ISDA agreements typically contain, among other things, terms for the posting of collateral and master netting provisions in the event of a default or other termination event. Collateral is posted by the Fund or the counterparty to the extent of

September 30, 2016
the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party of all open contracts under the agreement, subject to minimum transfer requirements. Master netting provisions allow the Fund and the counterparty, in the event of a default or other termination event, to offset amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts, including any posted collateral, to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. The Fund’s ISDA agreements typically contain provisions that allow a counterparty to terminate open contracts early if the NAV of the Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and liabilities, and any related collateral received or pledged, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of September 30, 2016, gross amounts of over-the-counter derivative assets and liabilities not offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the related net amounts after taking into account master netting arrangements, by counterparty, are as follows:

The actual collateral received or pledged, if any, may exceed the amounts shown in the table due to overcollateralization. Timing differences may exist between when contracts under the ISDA agreements are marked-to-market and when collateral moves. The ISDA agreements include tri-party control agreements under which collateral is held for the benefit of the secured party at a third party custodian, State Street Bank.

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by the Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the Fund’s aggregated unrealized gains and the amount of any collateral pledged to the counterparty, which may be offset by any collateral posted to the Fund by the counterparty. ISDA master agreements can help to manage counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under these ISDA agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure in respect of certain transactions, net of existing collateral already in place, exceeds a specified amount (typically $250,000, depending on the counterparty). With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. Based on balances reflected on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following table shows (i) the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the applicable Fund would incur if parties (including OTC derivative counterparties and brokers holding margin for exchange-traded derivatives) to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, and (ii) the amount of loss that the applicable Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of September 30, 2016:
Fund | Maximum Amount of Loss - Gross | Maximum Amount of Loss - Net | ||||||
Global Equity and Income Fund | $ | 655,188 | $ | 93,426 |
These amounts include cash received as collateral for Global Equity and Income Fund of $360,000.
5. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the year ended September 30, 2016, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government/Agency securities and including paydowns) were as follows:

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
Prior to January 1, 2016, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $300,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $130,000.

The Global Equity and Income Fund allocates transfer agent fees and expenses on a pro rata basis based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes.
8. Line of Credit. Effective April 14, 2016, the Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, entered into a 364-day, $400,000,000 syndicated, committed, unsecured line of credit with Citibank, N.A. to be used for temporary or emergency purposes only. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $400,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time) subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions. Interest is charged to the Funds at a rate equal to the greater of the eurodollar or the federal funds rate plus 1.00%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum, payable on the last business day of each month, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and other fees in connection with the new line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected as miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Prior to April 14, 2016 each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, participated in a $150,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund was able to borrow up to the full $150,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $150,000,000 limit at any time). Interest was charged to each participating Fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
For the year ended September 30, 2016, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.
9. Brokerage Commission Recapture. Each Fund has entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. All amounts rebated by the brokers are returned to the Funds under such agreements

and are included in realized gains on investments on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended September 30, 2016, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:
Fund | Rebates | |||
Global Equity and Income Fund | $ | 33,951 | ||
Growth Fund | 98,367 | |||

10. Concentration of Risk. Each Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.
11. Concentration of Ownership. From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Funds. As of September 30, 2016, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings were as follows:
Fund | Number of 5% | Percentage of | ||||||
Global Equity and Income Fund | — | — | ||||||
Growth Fund | 3 | 22.40 | % | |||||
Value Fund | 2 | 34.88 | % |
Omnibus shareholder accounts for which NGAM Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts or investment models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Funds do not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.
