Dear Shareholder:
The enclosed prospectus/proxy statement provides detailed information about an important proposal forNatixis Value Fund (formerly IXIS Value Fund). The fund will hold a special shareholder meeting on October 12, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, at the offices of Natixis Asset Management Advisors L.P. (formerly IXIS Asset Management Advisors, L.P.) (Natixis Advisors), 399 Boylston St, 10th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02116. A formal Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders is enclosed, followed by a prospectus/proxy statement that explains in more detail the proposal to be considered. Please refer to the “Questions and Answers” section of the prospectus/proxy statement for an overview of the proposed changes. We’ve summarized some important facts below which should make your review of the prospectus/proxy statement easier.
Q: What is the proposal?
You are being asked to approve the merger of Natixis Value Fund into Loomis Sayles Value Fund. If the merger is approved, you will receive corresponding shares of Loomis Sayles Value Fund.
Q: Why is this change being proposed and what does it mean to me?
The proposed merger of Natixis Value Fund into Loomis Sayles Value Fund seeks to provide shareholders of Natixis Value Fund with an opportunity to invest in a larger combined fund that Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”), the investment advisor of the Loomis Sayles Value Fund, and Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P., the investment advisor to Natixis Value Fund, believe has better prospects for long-term growth and a similar investment objective and strategy. Here are some of the advantages of the merger:
Lower expenses and better growth prospects. Shareholders of the Natixis Value Fund are expected to experience lower expenses after the merger. Additionally, Loomis Sayles and Natixis Advisors believe that Loomis Sayles Value Fund has better prospects for growth, which may result in economies of scale and decreased fund expenses.
Same level of service. As a shareholder of Loomis Sayles Value Fund, you will continue to enjoy the same services you currently receive as a Natixis Value Fund shareholder. These services include automatic investment options and a variety of ways to access your investment.
Continued investment in Natixis Funds.If the proxy is approved, Natixis Value Fund shareholders will continue to remain in the Natixis Funds family allowing exchange privileges within the fund family.
Q: What are some of the differences in the principal investment strategies of both funds?
Both funds invest primarily in large-cap value companies. The Natixis Value Fund seeks reasonable long-term investment returns from a combination of market appreciation and dividend income. Loomis Sayles Value Fund seeks long-term appreciation of capital and income. Natixis Value Fund is managed by multiple subadvisors, whereas Loomis Sayles Value Fund is managed solely by Loomis Sayles. Please review the enclosed prospectus/proxy statement for a more complete comparison of the investment goals, strategies and policies of Natixis Value Fund and Loomis Sayles Value Fund.
Q: Who are the portfolio managers of the Loomis Sayles Value Fund?
Loomis Sayles Value Fund is managed by the same experienced team as the Value portion of the Natixis Value Fund. The managers are Warren N. Koontz, Jr., CFA, James L. Carroll, CFA and Arthur Barry, CFA. They have nearly 70 years of combined investment experience.
Q: Who will bear the costs of this shareholder meeting?
The expenses related to the shareholder meeting and the solicitation of proxies will be borne by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates, not by the Natixis Value Fund.
Q: What are the tax implications?
The merger of the Natixis Value Fund into the Loomis Sayles Value Fund is expected to be tax-free to shareholders for federal income tax purposes. No gain or loss is expected to be realized by the fund or any shareholders as a result of this change.
