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. 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 | Class C share performance assumes a 1.00% CDSC applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase. |
2 | MSCI U.S. REIT Index is an unmanaged index that is composed of the most actively traded equity REIT (real estate investment trust) securities. |
3 | For certain periods, Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, without which performance would have been lower. |
4 | Expense ratios are as shown in the Fund’s prospectus in effect as of the date of this report. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report under Ratios to Average Net Assets. Net expenses reflect contractual expense caps set to expire on 4/30/19. When a Fund’s expenses are below the cap, gross and net expense ratios will be the same. See Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information about the Fund’s expense caps. |

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different 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 following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first line in the table of 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 February 1, 2017 through July 31, 2017. 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 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.
The second line in the table of 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 Fund and 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 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 AGREEMENT
The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on the Fund’s advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) 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 Agreement to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreement, typically for an additional one-year period. After the Contract Review Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreement.
In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) believes to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreement. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Fund and the performance of a peer group of funds and the Fund’s performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Fund’s advisory fee and other expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Adviser, if any, and to those of a peer group of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Fund, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreement 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) the 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 Fund’s shares and the related costs, (iv) the allocation of the Fund’s 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, (v) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies, (vi) the Adviser’s policies and procedures relating to, among other things, compliance, trading and best execution, proxy voting and valuation, (vii) information about amounts invested by the Fund’s portfolio managers in the Fund 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 Agreement, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board that provide detailed information about the Fund’s investment performance and the fees charged to the Fund for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for the Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing the Fund’s performance and fee differentials against the Fund’s peer group/category, performance
| 6
ratings provided by a third-party, total return information for various periods, and third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing the Fund against similarly categorized funds. The portfolio management team for the Fund or other representatives of the Adviser make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and if the Fund is identified as presenting possible performance concerns it may be subject to more frequent board presentations and reviews. In addition, each quarter, the Trustees are provided with detailed statistical information about the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.
The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreement at its meeting held in June 2017. The Agreement was continued for a one-year period. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreement, 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 Agreement included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Fund and the resources dedicated to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates.
The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, 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 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 the Agreement, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreement.
Investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Fund over various time periods, including information that compared the performance of the Fund to the performance of a peer group and category of funds and the Fund’s performance benchmark. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Fund using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that also measured the performance of the Fund on a risk adjusted basis.
7 |
The Board noted that, through December 31, 2016, the Fund’s one- and three-year performance, stated as percentile rankings within categories selected by the independent third-party data provider was as follows (where the best performance would be in the first percentile of its category):
| | | | | | | | |
| | One-Year | | | Three-Year | |
AEW Real Estate Fund | | | 67 | % | | | 35 | % |
The Board noted that the Fund’s performance lagged that of the Fund’s category group median as determined by the independent third-party for certain (although not all) periods. The Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements, including that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.
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 the Agreement, that the performance of the Fund and the Adviser and/or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreement.
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 Fund. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Fund for advisory services as well as the total expense level of the Fund. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and also by an independent third-party) of the Fund’s advisory fee and total expense level to those of its peer group 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 the Fund’s advisory fee, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Fund and the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation and the potential need to expend additional resources to the extent the Fund grows 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 the Fund has an expense cap in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for the Fund, which had current expenses above the cap.
The Trustees noted that the Fund had a total advisory fee rate that was slightly above the median of a peer group of funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered the factors which management believed justified the advisory fee rate, including: (1) that the Fund’s fee rate
| 8
was only one basis point above the median of the Fund’s peer group; and (2) that management had proposed to reduce the Fund’s expense cap.
The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ relationships with the Fund, 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 Fund, the expense levels of the Fund, and whether the Adviser had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to the Fund.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the advisory fee charged to the Fund 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 Fund supported the renewal of the Agreement.
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 Fund through breakpoints in its investment advisory fee 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 the Fund had breakpoints in its advisory fee and was subject to an expense cap or waiver. The Trustees considered management’s proposal to reduce the Fund’s expense cap. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and on a relative basis) and the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationships with the Fund, as discussed above.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Fund supported the renewal of the Agreement.
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 the Fund. |
· | | Whether the 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 Fund and the Adviser. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates were providing to the Fund. |
9 |
· | | The nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Adviser and its affiliates, both under the Agreement and under a separate agreement 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 Fund, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Fund’s 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. |
· | | The Trustees’ review and discussion of the Fund’s 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 the existing Agreement, with the reduction in the Fund’s expense cap described above, should be continued through June 30, 2018.

Notes to Financial Statements
July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. Organization. AEW Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of Natixis Funds Trust IV (the “Trust”), and 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 Fund is a diversified investment company.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y 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 T shares of the Fund are not currently available for purchase.
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 an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Class Y shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $100,000. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N and Class Y as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus.
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 and Natixis ETF Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”). Expenses of the 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 and Class C), and transfer agent fees are borne collectively for Class A, Class C and Class Y 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 the 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 the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund’s 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 period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined
21 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund’s 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 Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities 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.
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 Fund 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 Fund 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
| 22
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
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 the Fund.
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 and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in dividends received from the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year; accordingly, the Fund estimates these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year. Estimates for the period from January 1 through July 31, 2017 are included in the Statement of Operations. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. 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. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The 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 the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of July 31, 2017 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Fund’s 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 six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. 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.
The 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
23 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
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 Statement of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statement 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 the Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.
d. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. When the Fund identifies the character of distributions paid by REITs in the previous calendar year, certain distributions to Fund shareholders may be redesignated as capital gain distributions or, if in excess of taxable income, as a return of capital. For the six months ended July 31, 2017, no redesignations have been made with respect to the distributions paid as disclosed within the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as distribution redesignations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income, and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to the capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees and wash sales. 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 year ended January 31, 2017 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
2017 Distributions Paid From: | |
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
$3,365,940 | | $ | 17,420,859 | | | $ | 20,786,799 | |
Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.
| 24
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
As of January 31, 2017, late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals were as follows:
| | | | |
Late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals* | | $ | (173,152 | ) |
* | Under current tax law, capital losses after October 31 or December 31, as applicable, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following taxable year. The Fund is deferring capital losses that occurred after October 31, 2016. |
e. Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is the 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 the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of July 31, 2017, the Fund had an investment in a repurchase agreement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
f. Securities Lending. The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, 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 Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the six months ended July 31, 2017, the Fund did not loan securities under this agreement.

g. 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 Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
h. New Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the SEC adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosures in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments, including investments in and advances to affiliates, and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the amendments and the impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the 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 the 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.

4. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended July 31, 2017, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) were $5,983,911 and $37,920,704, respectively.
5. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
a. Management Fees. AEW Capital Management, L.P. (“AEW”) serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. AEW is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (“Natixis US”), which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France. Under the terms of the management agreement, the Fund pays a management fee at the annual rate of 0.80% of the first $500 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $500 million, calculated daily and payable monthly.
AEW has given a binding undertaking to the Fund to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Fund’s operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, organizational and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect until April 30, 2019, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, and is reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings. Waivers/reimbursements that exceed management fees payable are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivable from investment adviser.
Effective July 1, 2017, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreement for the Fund are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets | |
Class A | | Class C | | | Class N | | | Class Y | |
1.25% | | | 2.00% | | | | 0.95% | | | | 1.00% | |
27 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Prior to July 1, 2017, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreement were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets | |
Class A | | Class C | | | Class N | | | Class Y | |
1.35% | | | 2.10% | | | | 1.05% | | | | 1.10% | |
AEW shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreement (whether through waiver of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the annual operating expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.
For the six months ended July 31, 2017, the management fees and waiver of management fees for the Fund were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Gross Management Fees | | Contractual Waiver of Management Fees1 | | | Net Management Fees | | | Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets | |
| | | Gross | | | Net | |
$707,923 | | $ | 2,752 | | | $ | 705,171 | | | | 0.80 | % | | | 0.80 | % |
1 | Management fee waiver is subject to possible recovery until January 31, 2019, though actual recovery is unlikely. |
For the six months ended July 31, 2017, class-specific expenses have been reimbursed as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Reimbursement2 |
Class A | | Class C | | Class N | | Class Y | | Total |
$21,648 | | $2,318 | | $ — | | $42,972 | | $66,938 |
2 | Contractual expense reimbursements are subject to possible recovery until January 31, 2019. |
No expenses were recovered during the six months ended July 31, 2017 under the terms of the expense limitation agreement.
b. Service and Distribution Fees. NGAM Distribution, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trust. Pursuant to this agreement, NGAM Distribution serves as principal underwriter of the Fund.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Trust has adopted a Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class A shares (the “Class A Plan”) and a Distribution and Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class C shares (the “Class C Plan”).

c. Administrative Fees. NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Fund and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. NGAM Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and NGAM Advisors, the Fund pays NGAM Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion, 0.0350% of the next $30 billion and 0.0325% of such assets in excess of $90 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.
For the six months ended July 31, 2017, the administrative fees for the Fund were $39,519.
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 Fund and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Fund primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Fund. These services would have been provided

July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
by the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Fund’s transfer agent. Accordingly, the Fund has 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 Fund’s Board, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.
For the six months ended July 31, 2017, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations) for the Fund were $125,914.
As of July 31, 2017, the Fund owes NGAM Distribution $3,890 in reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as payable to distributor).
Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y 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 those classes.
e. Commissions. Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by NGAM Distribution during the six months ended July 31, 2017 amounted to $1,932.
f. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution, Natixis US or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $325,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $155,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $17,500. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review 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. 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.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Fund under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
g. Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. NGAM Advisors has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for the Fund’s Class N shares. This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2018 and is not subject to recovery under the expense limitation agreement described above.
For the six months ended July 31, 2017, NGAM Advisors reimbursed the Fund $116 for transfer agency expenses related to Class N shares.
6. Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. For the six months ended July 31, 2017, the Fund incurred the following class-specific transfer agent fees and expenses (including sub-transfer agent fees, where applicable):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class A | | | Class C | | | Class N | | | Class Y | |
Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses | | $ | 48,421 | | | $ | 5,443 | | | $ | 116 | | | $ | 97,776 | |
Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y 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 those classes. Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class N are allocated to Class N.
7. Line of Credit. 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 0.15% 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
31 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
and are reflected as miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Prior to April 13, 2017, the commitment fee was 0.10% per annum based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
For the six months ended July 31, 2017, the Fund had no borrowings under this agreement.
8. Brokerage Commission Recapture. The 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 Fund under such agreements and are included as realized gains on investments in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended July 31, 2017, $950 was rebated under these agreements.
9. Concentration of Risk. The Fund concentrates its investments in real estate securities, including REITs. A fund with a concentrated portfolio is vulnerable to the risks of the industry in which it invests and is subject to greater risks and market fluctuations than funds investing in a broader range of industries. Real estate securities are susceptible to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate such as declining property values, increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition, zoning changes and losses from casualty and condemnation.
10. 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 Fund. As of July 31, 2017, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Fund 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:
| | | | |
Number of 5% Account Holders | | Percentage of Ownership | |
1 | | | 5.75 | % |
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 Fund does 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.

2 | The Fund’s investment adviser has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to limit the amount of the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to 1.25%, 2.00%, 0.95%, 1.25% and 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, C, N, T and Y shares, respectively, exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses.

1 | The S&P Target Date® Index Series consists of multi-asset class indices, each corresponding to a specific target retirement date. The asset allocation for each index is determined through an annual survey of target date fund groups with a minimum asset threshold of $100 million. The various asset class exposures of the Indices may include equities, fixed income, REITs, and commodities depending on the allocations reported in the survey. Index returns are calculated daily. You may not invest directly in an index. |
2 | Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower. |
3 | Expense ratios are as shown in the Fund’s prospectus in effect as of the date of this report and include the expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report under Ratios to Average Net Assets. Net expenses reflect contractual expense caps set to expire on 5/31/18. When a Fund’s expenses are below the cap, gross and net expense ratios will be the same. See Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information about the Fund’s expense caps. |

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different 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 following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first line in the table of 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 February 1, 2017 through July 31, 2017. 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 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.
The second line in the table of 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 Fund and 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 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 INITIAL ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR THE NATIXIS SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FUNDS
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that both the full Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, initially approve any new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements for a registered investment company, including a newly formed fund such as the Natixis Sustainable Future 2015 Fund, the Natixis Sustainable Future 2020 Fund, the Natixis Sustainable Future 2025 Fund, the Natixis Sustainable Future 2030 Fund, the Natixis Sustainable Future 2035 Fund, the Natixis Sustainable Future 2040 Fund, the Natixis Sustainable Future 2045 Fund, the Natixis Sustainable Future 2050 Fund, the Natixis Sustainable Future 2055 Fund, and the Natixis Sustainable Future 2060 Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved, for an initial two-year term, the proposed investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements (together, the “Agreements”) for the Funds at an in-person meeting held on November 18, 2016.
In connection with this review, Fund management and other representatives of the Funds’ adviser, NGAM Advisors, L.P. (the “Adviser”), and the Funds’ sub-advisers, Natixis Asset Management U.S., LLC (“Natixis AM US”) and Wilshire Associates Incorporated (“Wilshire”, and, together with Natixis AM US, the “Subadvisers”), distributed to the Trustees materials including, among other items, information regarding (i) each Fund’s investment objective, strategies and risks, (ii) the proposed management fees and other expenses to be charged to each Fund, including information comparing each Fund’s expenses and proposed expense cap to those of peer groups and categories of funds, (iii) the size, education and experience of the investment staff of the Adviser and the Subadvisers and the investment strategies proposed to be used in managing the Funds, (iv) proposed arrangements for the distribution of each Fund’s shares, (v) the procedures proposed to be employed to determine the value of each Fund’s assets, (vi) information about the Adviser’s performance, and (vii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry.
The Trustees considered the fact that they oversee other funds advised by the Adviser and Natixis AM US as well as information about the Adviser and Natixis AM US they had received in connection with their oversight of those other funds. Because each Fund is newly formed and had not commenced operations at the time of the Trustees’ review, certain information, including data relating to Fund performance, was not available, and therefore could not be distributed to the Trustees. Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, the Adviser and the Subadvisers.
In considering whether to initially approve the Agreements, the Board of Trustees, 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 weight 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 to be provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Subadvisers and the Adviser’s affiliates to the Funds, and the resources to be dedicated to the Funds by the Adviser, the Subadvisers and the Adviser’s affiliates. The Trustees also considered their experience with other funds advised or sub-advised by the Adviser and Natixis AM US, as well as the affiliation between the Adviser and Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (“Natixis US”), whose affiliates provide investment advisory services to other funds in the Natixis family of mutual funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered not only the advisory and sub-advisory services proposed to be provided by the Adviser and the Subadvisers to the Funds, but also the monitoring and administrative services proposed to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds. They also considered Wilshire’s specialized expertise in creating “glide paths” and providing investment allocation services.
The Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in mutual funds that are 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 the Agreements, that the scope of the services to be provided to the Funds under the Agreements seemed consistent with the Funds’ operational requirements, and that the Adviser and the Subadvisers had the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory and sub-advisory services that would be required by each Fund. The Trustees determined that the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided under the Agreements supported approval of the Agreements.
Investment performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Subadvisers. Because each Fund had not yet commenced operations, performance information for each Fund was not considered; however, the Board considered the performance of other funds and accounts managed by the Adviser and Natixis AM US.
The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s and the Subadvisers’ 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.

Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that these relevant factors supported approval of the Agreements.
The costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with each Fund. Although each Fund had not yet commenced operations at the time of the Trustees’ review of the Agreements, the Trustees reviewed information comparing the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees and estimated total expenses of each Fund’s share classes with the fees and expenses of comparable share classes of comparable funds identified by the Adviser, including information about how those funds were selected and information about differences in such fees. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser and the Subadvisers do not advise or sub-advise any other accounts or funds pursuing each Fund’s proposed strategy. In evaluating each Fund’s proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of each Fund. The Trustees also noted that each Fund would have an expense cap in place. In addition, the Trustees considered information regarding the administrative fees to be paid by each Fund to the Adviser’s affiliates.
Because each Fund had not yet commenced operations, historical profitability information with respect to each Fund was not considered. However, the Trustees noted the information provided in court cases in which adviser profitability was an issue, the estimated expense level of each Fund, and that each Fund would be subject to an expense cap.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the advisory and sub-advisory fees and expenses proposed to be charged to each Fund were fair and reasonable, and supported the approval of the Agreements.
Economies of scale. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Adviser and the Subadvisers may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing each Fund, and whether those economies could be shared with each Fund through breakpoints in the advisory and sub-advisory fees or other means, such as expense waivers or caps. The Trustees noted that each Fund will be subject to an expense cap. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale might be shared with each Fund supported the approval of the Agreements.
The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:
· | | The compliance-related resources the Adviser, the Subadvisers and the Adviser’s affiliates would provide to each Fund. |
· | | The nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services to be 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 and its affiliates, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Adviser to provide distribution and administrative services to each Fund, the benefits to Natixis US and the Adviser of being able to offer “target date” funds and funds that focus on environmental, social and governance factors in the Natixis family of funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by each Fund’s securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the benefits to the Natixis organization from the retention of the Adviser and Natixis AM US. 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. |
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 the Agreements should be approved.

1. Organization. Natixis Funds Trust IV (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:
Natixis Funds Trust IV:
Natixis Sustainable Future 2015 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2015 Fund”)
Natixis Sustainable Future 2020 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2020 Fund”)
Natixis Sustainable Future 2025 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2025 Fund”)
Natixis Sustainable Future 2030 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2030 Fund”)
Natixis Sustainable Future 2035 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2035 Fund”)
Natixis Sustainable Future 2040 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2040 Fund”)
Natixis Sustainable Future 2045 Fund (the “Sustainable Future 2045 Fund”)

| | | | |
Funds | | Amount | |
Sustainable Future 2015 Fund | | $ | 4,000,000 | |
Sustainable Future 2020 Fund | | | 4,000,000 | |

Each fund offers Class N shares. Class Y Shares are not currently available for purchase.
Class N shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N as outlined in the Funds’ prospectus.
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 and Natixis ETF Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”).
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 period-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 subadviser 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 or subadviser 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
99 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
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. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value unlisted equity securities 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. Mutual funds are valued at net asset value.
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 or subadviser 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.
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 accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium, if applicable. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis.
c. 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 Fund’s 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 Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.
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.
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.
d. 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 period as of July 31, 2017 and has concluded that
| 100
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
no provisions for income tax are required. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six 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.
e. 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 book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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.
f. 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.
g. New Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the SEC adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosures in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments, including investments in and advances to affiliates, and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the amendments and the impact, if any, on the Funds’ financial statements.
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.

5. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
a. Management Fees. NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”), serves as investment adviser to each Fund. NGAM Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US, which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France. Under the terms of the management agreements, each Fund pays a management fee calculated daily and payable monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets.
NGAM Advisors has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Natixis Asset Management U.S., LLC (“Natixis AM US”) with respect to the Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Segment and Mirova Carbon Neutral U.S. Equity Segment of each fund. Natixis AM US is a subsidiary of Natixis Asset Management, which is in turn a subsidiary of Natixis Global Asset Management.
NGAM Advisors has also entered into a subadvisory agreement with Wilshire Associates Incorporated (“Wilshire”), pursuant to which Wilshire performs certain asset allocation, glide path monitoring and compliance responsibilities for each Fund.
The aggregate advisory fee to be paid by each Fund is equal to the sum of: (i) 0.165% of the average daily net assets of the AIA U.S. Large Cap Value ESG Segment; (ii) 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Segment, payable to Natixis AM US as subadviser; (iii) 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Mirova Carbon Neutral U.S. Equity Segment, payable to Natixis AM US as sub-adviser; and (iv) the greater of an asset based fee calculated by multiplying the Fund’s average daily net assets

by a rate based on the combined average daily net assets of all the Funds, equal to 0.08% of the first $250 million, 0.07% of the next $250 million, 0.06% of the next $750 million and 0.03% of amounts exceeding $1.25 billion of the combined average daily net assets of the Funds, or the Fund’s allocable portion of a minimum annual fee of $250,000 which applies to the Funds in the aggregate, payable to Wilshire as sub-adviser.
Payments to NGAM Advisors are reduced by the amounts of payments to the subadvisers.
NGAM Advisors has given binding undertakings to the Funds to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Funds’ operating expenses, exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses. These undertakings are in effect until May 31, 2018, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, and are reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings. Waivers/reimbursements that exceed management fees payable are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable from investment adviser.
For the period ended July 31, 2017, the Funds’ expense limit as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreements was 0.65%, including expenses of the underlying funds in which each Fund invests.
NGAM Advisors shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreements (whether through waiver of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the annual operating expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.

d. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trusts do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution, Natixis US or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $325,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $155,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $17,500. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review 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. 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.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
e. Affiliated Ownership. As of July 31, 2017, Natixis US held shares of the Sustainable Future Funds representing 100% of each of the Funds’ net assets. Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds.

g. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Each Fund will indirectly realize its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These fees and expenses are already reflected in the valuation of the underlying funds.
6. Line of Credit. Each 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 0.15% 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.
For the period ended July 31, 2017, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.
