Objective:
Over the long term, the fund seeks to provide total return consistent with traditional broad-based emerging market equity indices while actively managing the fund’s risk to be more stable than that of such indices.
Strategy:
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests in equity securities of companies located in emerging markets, derivative instruments and highly-rated money market instruments held in connection with its derivative positions.
On June 14, 2013, the Board of Trustees approved the liquidation of the fund. See Note 13 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Objective:
Over the long term, the fund seeks to capture the majority of the returns associated with international developed market equity investments, while exposing investors to less risk than such investments generally.
Strategy:
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks of non-U.S. companies, while also selling index call options. The fund buys index put options, which can protect the fund from a significant market decline that may occur over a short period of time.

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 funds’ prospectus. The following examples 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 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 December 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013. 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 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 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 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 ADVISORY AND
SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR THE FUNDS INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT
The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review and Governance 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. The Vaughan Nelson Select Fund was not included in the most recent annual review as the Fund’s initial board-approved investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements are effective until June 28, 2014. 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 advisers and sub-advisers (collectively, the “Advisers”) believe 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 and categories of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory fees, if any, and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ expenses to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Advisers, if any, and to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Advisers and (v) information obtained through the completion by the Advisers of a questionnaire distributed on behalf of the Trustees. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considers other matters such as (i) each Adviser’s financial results and/or financial condition, (ii) each Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Advisers’ respective investment staffs and their 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 Advisers 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 Advisers.
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

Table of Contents
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, 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 Advisers make periodic presentations to the Contract Review and Governance 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 their meeting held in June 2013. 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 Advisers and their affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Advisers and their affiliates.
The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Advisers to the Funds, but also administrative services provided by NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“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 Advisers. 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. Finally, the Board took into consideration the proposed and approved liquidation of the ASG Growth Markets Fund, which is scheduled on or about July 31, 2013.

With respect to each Fund, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance or other relevant factors described above supported the renewal of the Agreement(s) relating to that Fund. In the case of the Gateway International Fund and the Loomis Sayles Capital Income Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds were relatively new and therefore had a limited operating history on which to judge their performance record. In the case of the ASG Growth Markets Fund, the performance of which lagged that of its relevant peer group and/or category median for all periods, the Board took into account the proposed and approved liquidation of the Fund and the fact 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 and that the Fund’s more recent performance had shown improvement when compared to relevant performance benchmarks and categories. The Board concluded that these other relevant factors supported renewal of the Agreements.
The Trustees also considered each Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Advisers to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Advisers 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 Advisers and other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreements.
The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their respective relationships with the Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and sub-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 Advisers 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 and the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of mutual fund assets. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of such Fund and the need for the Advisers to offer competitive compensation. 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 Funds currently have expense caps in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed, by the Advisers under the cap. The Trustees noted that certain of the Funds had total advisory fee rates that were above the median of a peer group of funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered the factors that management believed justified such relatively higher fees. These factors varied from Fund to Fund, but included one or more of the following: (1) that the Fund’s expense cap had resulted in no

advisory fee having been paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended 11/30/12 and significant reimbursements by the Adviser to the Fund, (2) that the Fund’s advisory fee rate was not significantly above its peer group median and (3) the proposed and approved liquidation of the ASG Growth Markets Fund. The Trustees also took into account that the Loomis Sayles Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund may use leverage in its investment program, including the fact that the use of leverage may increase the advisory and administrative fees payable to the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund’s historical use of leverage.
The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Advisers’ and their 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 Advisers had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to such Funds.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fees charged to each of the Funds were fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Advisers and their 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 Advisers 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 although the Funds’ management fees were not subject to breakpoints, each Fund was subject to an expense cap. 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 Advisers and their 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. |
| 18
Table of Contents
· | 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 Advisers. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their affiliates were providing to the Funds. |
· | The nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Advisers and their affiliates, both under the Agreements and under separate agreements covering administrative services. |
· | So-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution, administrative and brokerage services to the Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Advisers by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the fact that NGAM Advisors’ parent company benefits from the retention of affiliated Advisers. 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 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, 2014.

1. Organization. Gateway Trust and Natixis Funds Trust II (the “Trusts” and each a “Trust”) are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Each 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 Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Gateway Trust:
Gateway International Fund
Natixis Funds Trust II:
ASG Growth Markets Fund (the “Growth Markets Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Capital Income Fund (the “Capital Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund (the “Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund”)
Vaughan Nelson Select Fund (the “Select Fund”)
Capital Income Fund and Gateway International Fund are each a diversified investment company, while Growth Markets Fund, Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund and Select Fund are each a non-diversified investment company.
Each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Effective May 13, 2013, Growth Markets Fund was closed to new investors. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Growth Markets Fund, Gateway International Fund, Capital Income Fund and Select Fund and 3.50% for Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund. 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 contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Y shares are 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.
Most expenses of the Trusts 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 the 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 (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees). 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.

Growth Markets Fund invests in commodity-related instruments through ASG Growth Markets Cayman Fund Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) of Growth Markets Fund, organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. A subscription agreement was entered into between Growth Markets Fund and its Subsidiary with the intent that Growth Markets Fund will remain the sole shareholder and primary beneficiary of its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is governed by a separate Board of Directors that is independent of the Growth Markets Fund’s Board of Trustees.
As of May 31, 2013, the value of Growth Markets Fund’s investment in its Subsidiary was as follows:
Fund | Investment in Subsidiary | Percentage of Net Assets | ||||||
Growth Markets Fund | $ | 1,979,365 | 7.5 | % |
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 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. Consolidation. The accompanying financial statements of Growth Markets Fund present the consolidated accounts of the Fund and its Subsidiary. All interfund accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
b. Valuation. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and subadviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. 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 a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser or subadviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market

information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Broker-dealer bid prices may also be used to value debt and equity securities and 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 prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at their most recent settlement price. Domestic exchange-traded single equity option contracts are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations. International index options traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the most recent settlement price. Other exchange-traded options are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) international index options are valued at mid prices (between the bid and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service. OTC international index options not priced through an independent pricing service are valued based on prices obtained from broker-dealers. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser or subadviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the closing market price in the foreign market. Additionally, Gateway International Fund may hold index options traded in foreign markets. If events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities or options, such securities or options are fair valued on a daily basis pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities or options, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values. As of May 31, 2013, approximately 46% of the market value of Growth Markets Fund’s investments, 97% of the market value of Gateway International Fund’s investments and 100% of the market value of Gateway International Fund’s written options 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.
c. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily net asset value 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
May 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
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. 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.
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 on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized 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 and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Each Fund 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 a 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. 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
| 80
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
May 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
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. Futures Contracts. The Funds and the Subsidiary may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index for a specified price on a specified future date.
When a Fund or the Subsidiary enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities as “initial margin.” As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by a Fund or the Subsidiary, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the broker. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund or the Subsidiary enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s or the Subsidiary’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities, commodities or interest rates.
Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds and the Subsidiary are reduced; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, a Fund’s claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.
g. Option Contracts. Certain Funds may enter into option contracts. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked to market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the difference between the premium paid and the proceeds of the closing sale transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.
When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the
81 |
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
May 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
current value. Net premiums received for written options which expire are treated as realized gains. Net premiums received for written options which are exercised are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is treated as a realized gain or, if the net premium received is less than the amount paid, as a realized loss. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option.
Exchange-traded options are standardized contracts and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced. OTC options are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the option.
h. Due from Brokers. Transactions and positions in certain futures and forward foreign currency contracts are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between a Fund or the Subsidiary and the various broker/dealers. Due from brokers’ balances in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities for Growth Markets Fund represent cash, foreign currency, and any initial and/or variation margin applicable to open futures contracts and/or cash pledged as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts. In certain circumstances the Fund’s or the Subsidiary’s use of cash, securities and foreign currency held at brokers pledged as collateral is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.
i. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trusts treat 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 May 31, 2013 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 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.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. As a U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation, Growth Markets Fund will include in its taxable income any distributions paid by the Subsidiary which would be comprised of the Subsidiary’s current earnings and profits (including
| 82
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
May 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
net realized gains). Any deficit generated by the Subsidiary will be disregarded for purposes of computing the Fund’s taxable income in the current period and also disregarded for all future periods.
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 eligible to be reclaimed 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.
j. 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 annually 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 non-deductible expenses, dividend redesignations, Subsidiary dividends, foreign currency transactions, paydown gains and losses, capital gain distributions from real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment company gains and losses, deferred Trustees’ fees and premium amortization. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income, and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, commissions on open futures contracts, wash sales, passive foreign investment company adjustments, premium amortization, forward foreign currency, futures and option contracts mark to market and Subsidiary basis adjustments. 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 period ended November 30, 2012 was as follows:
2012 Distributions Paid From: | ||||||||||||
Fund | Ordinary Income | Long-Term Capital Gains | Total | |||||||||
Growth Markets Fund | $ | 297,877 | $ | — | $ | 297,877 | ||||||
Gateway International Fund | — | — | — | |||||||||
Capital Income Fund | 305,820 | — | 305,820 | |||||||||
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund | 3,803,701 | — | 3,803,701 | |||||||||
Select Fund | — | — | — |
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 November 30, 2012, the capital loss carryforwards and late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals were as follows:

k. Repurchase Agreements. 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
| 84

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.
l. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ 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.
m. New Accounting Pronouncement. In December 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements with respect to an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative instruments. Management has evaluated the impact the adoption of ASU 2011-11 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and believes that such impact will be limited to expanded disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements regarding rights of setoff and will not have a material impact on the Funds’ net assets or result of operations.
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.

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that Growth Markets Fund, Gateway International Fund, Capital Income Fund and Select Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and options contracts.
Growth Markets Fund seeks to complement its equity portfolio with a portfolio of derivatives, in particular, futures and forward contracts, designed to enhance return and mitigate losses. The Fund uses quantitative models to estimate the market exposures that drive the aggregate returns of one or more broad-based measures of emerging market equity index performance as well as identify the market exposures best suited to limit the volatility and risk of loss associated with the underlying equity portfolio. These market exposures, which are expected to vary over time, may include exposures to the returns of global equity and fixed income securities, commodities and currencies. During the six months ended May 31, 2013, the Fund used long and short contracts on U.S. equity market indices, U.S. and foreign government bonds, short-term interest rates, foreign currencies and commodities (through investments in the Subsidiary) and long contracts on foreign equity market indices in accordance with these objectives.
Gateway International Fund seeks to capture the majority of the returns associated with international developed market equity investments, while exposing investors to less risk than such investments generally. To meet this investment goal, the Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks of non-U.S. companies, including, but not limited to, Australia, the United Kingdom, the Euro Zone, Hong Kong, Japan and Switzerland, while also writing index call options. Writing index call options can reduce the Fund’s volatility, provide a steady cash flow and be an important source of the Fund’s return, although it also may reduce the Fund’s ability to profit from increases in the value of its equity portfolio. The Fund also buys index put options, which can protect the Fund from a significant market decline that may occur over a short period of time.

The value of an index put option generally increases as the prices of stocks constituting the index decrease and decreases as those stocks increase in price. The Fund typically sells call options and buys put options on market indices that represent a significant portion of the capitalization in each of the markets in which the Fund’s equity investments are traded. The combination of the diversified stock portfolio, the steady cash flow from writing of index call options and the downside protection from purchased index put options is intended to provide the Fund with the majority of the returns associated with equity market investments while exposing investors to less risk than other equity investments. During the six months ended May 31, 2013, the Fund used written index call options and purchased index put options in accordance with this objective.
Capital Income Fund and Select Fund are subject to the risk of unpredictable declines in the value of individual equity securities and periods of below average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. The Funds may use purchased put options and written call options to hedge against a decline in value of an equity security that it owns and may use written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes. The Funds may also use purchased call options, written call options and written put options for investment purposes. During the six months ended May 31, 2013, the Capital Income Fund engaged in written call option transactions for hedging purposes and in written put option transactions for investment purposes. During the six months ended May 31, 2013, the Select Fund engaged in written call option transactions for investment purposes.
Growth Markets Fund and Gateway International Fund are party to agreements with counterparties that govern transactions in forward foreign currency contracts and OTC option contracts. These agreements contain credit-risk-related contingent features that allow the counterparties to terminate open contracts early if the net asset value of a Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. If such features were to be triggered, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of open contracts at current fair value. As of May 31, 2013, the fair value of derivative positions (including open trades) subject to credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position by counterparty, and the value of collateral pledged to counterparties for such contracts is as follows:
Fund | Counterparty | Derivatives | Collateral Pledged | |||||||||
Growth Markets Fund | UBS AG | $ | (212,443 | ) | $ | 339,086 | ||||||
Gateway International Fund | UBS AG | (380,338 | ) | 8,030,107 |
Forward foreign currency contracts and OTC options are subject to the risk that the counterparty will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations under the contracts. Growth Markets Fund and Gateway International Fund have mitigated this risk by entering into master netting agreements with counterparties that allow the Fund and

the counterparty to offset amounts owed by each related to these derivative contracts to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. Based on balances reflected on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, including cash and/or securities held at or pledged to counterparties for initial/variation margin or as collateral that could be subject to the terms of a final settlement in a bankruptcy court proceeding, the maximum amount of loss that the Funds would incur if counterparties failed to meet their obligations, and the amount of loss that the Funds would incur after taking into account master netting arrangements are as follows as of May 31, 2013:
Fund | Maximum Amount | Maximum Amount of Loss – Net | ||||||
Growth Markets Fund | $ | 2,994,407 | $ | 2,653,592 | ||||
Gateway International Fund | 8,057,203 | 8,030,107 |
Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser and/or subadviser. 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. Collateral for forward foreign currency contracts and OTC option contracts is posted based on the requirements established under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements negotiated between each Fund and the counterparties. In lieu of receiving cash collateral, Growth Markets Fund may use unrealized gains on forward foreign currency contracts to meet counterparty margin requirements for open positions. The risk of loss to a Fund from counterparty default should be limited to the extent a Fund is undercollateralized; however, final settlement of a Fund’s claim against any collateral received or initial/variation margin pledged may be subject to bankruptcy court proceedings.

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 fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, 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.

7. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is 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 0.10% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
For the six months ended May 31, 2013, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund has entered into a committed, secured line of credit with the Bank of Nova Scotia (the “Bank”), under which it may borrow for investment or liquidity purposes. The commitment of the Bank to make loans to the Fund shall not exceed $35,000,000 at any one time. Interest is charged to the Fund based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum (0.125% per annum for dates upon which the loan balance exceeds 50% of the commitment), payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued by the Fund based on the unused portion of the line of credit.
Effective July 9, 2013 the commitment will be raised to a limit not to exceed $100,000,000, with a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum (0.125% per annum for dates upon which the loan balance exceeds 50% of the commitment), payable at the end of each calendar quarter, to be accrued by the Fund based on the unused portion of the line of credit.
For the six months ended May 31, 2013, Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund had no borrowings under this agreement.
8. Brokerage Commission Recapture. Certain Funds 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the six months ended May 31, 2013, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:
Fund | Rebates | |||
Capital Income Fund | $ | 133 |
9. 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.
The Growth Markets Fund, Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund and Select Fund are non-diversified, which means that they are not limited under the 1940 Act to a percentage of assets that they may invest in any one issuer. Because the Funds may invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers, an investment in the Funds may involve a higher degree of risk than would be present in a diversified portfolio.
Growth Markets Fund’s investments in emerging markets companies, which may be smaller and have shorter operating histories than companies in developed markets,

involves risks in addition to, and greater than, those generally associated with investing in companies in developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development, political stability, market depth, infrastructure, capitalization and regulatory oversight in emerging market economies is generally less than in more developed markets.
Growth Markets Fund’s investments in commodity-related instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in other securities. The value of these investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity.
The senior loans in which Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund expects to invest will generally not be rated investment grade by the rating agencies. Economic downturns generally increase non-payment rates and a senior loan could lose a substantial part of its value prior to default. Senior loans are subject to credit risk, and secured loans may not be adequately collateralized. The interest rates of senior loans reset frequently, and thus senior loans are subject to interest rate risk. Senior loans typically have less liquidity than investment grade bonds and there may be less public information available about them as compared to investment grade bonds.
10. Interest Expense. Growth Markets Fund incurs interest expense on net cash and foreign currency debit balances, if any, for accounts held at brokers. Interest expense incurred for the six months ended May 31, 2013 is reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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 May 31, 2013, 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 was as follows:
Fund | Number of > 5% | Percentage of Non-Affiliated | Percentage Ownership | Total Percentage of | ||||||||||||
Growth Markets Fund | — | — | 95.84 | % | 95.84 | % | ||||||||||
Gateway International Fund | — | — | 65.81 | % | 65.81 | % | ||||||||||
Capital Income Fund | 1 | 26.35 | % | 46.85 | % | 73.20 | % | |||||||||
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund | 1 | 7.51 | % | 0.44 | % | 7.95 | % | |||||||||

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which NGAM Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Funds do not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.
12. Capital Shares. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:
