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 January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022. 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 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 funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Board of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement and, with respect to Natixis Oakmark Fund, Natixis Oakmark International Fund, Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund, Vaughan Nelson Mid Cap Fund, and Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund, sub-advisory agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements, typically for an additional one-year period. This meeting typically includes all the Independent Trustees, including the Trustees who do not serve on the Contract Review Committee. After the Contract Review Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements at its June Board meeting.
In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Funds’ investment advisers and sub-advisers, as applicable (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 of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory fees 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 limitations and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Advisers, including how profitability is determined for the Funds, 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 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, (ii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (iii) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including, to the extent applicable, allocations to brokers affiliated with the Advisers and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research and other similar services, (iv) each Adviser’s policies and procedures relating to, among other things, compliance, trading and best execution, proxy voting, liquidity and valuation, (v) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (vi) 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 about the Funds’ investment performance and the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, where available, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing each Fund’s performance and expense differentials against each Fund’s peer group/category of funds, total return information for various periods, third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing a Fund against similarly categorized funds, and performance ratings provided by a different third-party rating organization. The portfolio management team for each Fund or other representatives of the Advisers make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and Funds identified as presenting possible performance concerns may be subject to more frequent Board or Committee presentations and reviews. In addition, the Trustees are periodically provided with detailed statistical information about each Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings, both at the Board and at the Committee level.
The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements for a one-year period at its meeting held in June 2022. In the case of Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund, the Board approved the Agreement with an amendment that reduced the Fund’s advisory fee effective July 1, 2022. 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 also considered their experience with other funds advised or sub-advised by the Adviser, as well as the affiliation between the Adviser and Natixis Investment Managers, LLC, whose affiliates provide investment advisory services to other funds in the Natixis family of funds.
The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Advisers to the Funds, but also the benefits to the Funds from the monitoring and oversight services provided by Natixis Advisors, LLC (“Natixis Advisors”). They also considered the administrative and shareholder services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds. They also took into consideration increases in the services provided resulting from new regulatory requirements, such as new rules relating to the fair valuation of investments and the use of derivatives.
| 12
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. The Trustees also received information about how comparative peer groups are constructed. In addition, the Trustees reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.
The Board noted that, through December 31, 2021, each Existing Fund’s one-, three- and five-year performance, as applicable, 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 | Five-Year | ||||||||||
Loomis Sayles International Growth Fund | 96 | % | N/A | N/A | ||||||||
Natixis Oakmark Fund | 4 | % | 2 | % | 4 | % | ||||||
Natixis Oakmark International Fund | 82 | % | 25 | % | 47 | % | ||||||
Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund | 81 | % | 31 | % | 17 | % | ||||||
Vaughan Nelson Mid Cap Fund | 74 | % | 62 | % | 83 | % | ||||||
Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund | 14 | % | 30 | % | 68 | % |
In the case of each Fund that had performance that lagged that of a relevant category median as determined by the independent third-party for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements. These factors included one or more of the following: (1) 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; (2) that the Fund’s more recent relative performance (i.e., for periods ending March 31, 2022) had improved; (3) that the Fund’s long-term (10-year) performance was stronger relative to its category; (4) the Adviser’s deep value investment strategy was expected to result in cyclical underperformance from time to time; (5) that effective August 31, 2021, the Fund had been assigned to a different category by the independent third-party data provider, which has resulted in significantly improved relative performance and is expected to result in more relevant performance comparisons; and (6) that the Fund outperformed its relevant benchmark for the 3-year period. The Board also considered information about the Funds’ more recent performance, including how that performance had been impacted by the Covid-19 crisis.
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/or 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, sub-advisory and administrative services as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and 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 mutual fund assets, the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of such assets, and the entrepreneurial, regulatory and other risks associated with sponsoring and managing mutual funds. 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 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 demonstrated its intention to have competitive fee levels by making recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense limitations for
13 |
various funds in the fund family. They noted that all of the Funds included have expense limitations in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for all of the Funds under their expense limitation agreements. They further noted that management had proposed to reduce the expense limitations for Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund on all share classes, effective as of July 1, 2022. The Trustees also noted that management had proposed to reduce the advisory fee rate for Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund. The Trustees further noted that the Loomis Sayles International Growth Fund had a total advisory fee rate that was below the median of its peer group of funds.
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 advisory fee rates, including: (1) that the advisory fee rate of the Fund had been reduced effective July 1, 2021 and the comparison against the peer group did not reflect the full impact of that; (2) that management had proposed to reduce the expense limitations of the Fund; (3) that management had proposed to reduce the advisory fee of the Fund; (4) that the advisory fee was only one basis point higher than the median of a peer group of funds; and (5) the quality of the services and the reputation and performance of the portfolio management team.
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 how expenses are determined and allocated for purposes of profitability calculations. 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, whether the Advisers had implemented breakpoints and/or expense limitations with respect to such Funds and the overall profit margin of Natixis Investment Managers, LLC compared to that of certain other investment managers for which such data was available.
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 limitations. The Trustees also considered management’s explanation of the factors that are taken into account with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense limitations. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that Natixis Oakmark Fund, Natixis Oakmark International Fund and Vaughan Nelson Mid Cap Fund had breakpoints in their advisory fees and that each of the Funds was subject to an expense limitation. The Trustees also considered management’s proposal to reduce the expense limitations for Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund. 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 Advisers and their affiliates of their relationships with the Funds, as discussed above. The Trustees also considered that the Funds have benefitted from the substantial reinvestment certain Advisers had made into their businesses.
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, including but not limited to the Covid-19 crisis and its significant disruptions to the economy and business operations, as well as more recent market volatility, on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund. |
• | Whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Advisers. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their affiliates were providing to the Funds. |
• | So-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution and administrative 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 benefits to the parent company of Natixis 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 Funds’ advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years. |
| 14
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, including the reduction in the advisory fee for Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund described above, should be continued through June 30, 2023.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Annual Report for the Period Commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2021 (including updates through June 30, 2022)
Effective December 1, 2018 (December 15, 2020 for the Loomis Sayles International Growth Fund), the Funds adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Rule”). The Rule requires registered open-end funds, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to establish liquidity risk management programs in order to effectively manage fund liquidity and mitigate the risk that a fund could not meet redemption requests without significantly diluting the interests of remaining investors.
The rule requires the Funds to assess, manage and review their liquidity risk considering applicable factors during normal and foreseeable stressed conditions. In fulfilling this requirement, each Fund assesses and reviews (where applicable and amongst other matters) its investment strategy, portfolio holdings, possible investment concentrations, use of derivatives, short-term and long-term cash flow projections, use of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources. Each Program has established a Program Administrator (“Administrator”) which is the adviser or sub-adviser of the Fund.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
Each Fund is prohibited from acquiring an investment if, after the acquisition, its holdings of illiquid assets will exceed 15% of its net assets. If a Fund does not hold a majority of highly liquid investments in its portfolio, then the Fund is required to establish a highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”). None of the Funds has established an HLIM.
During the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, there were no material changes to the Programs and no material events that impacted the operation of the Funds’ Programs. During the period, the Funds held sufficient liquid assets to meet redemptions on a timely basis and did not have any illiquid security violations.
During the period January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, the Funds held sufficient liquid assets to meet redemptions on a timely basis and did not have any illiquid security violations.
Annual Program Assessment and Conclusion
In the opinion of the Program Administrators, the Program of each Fund approved by the Funds’ Board is operating effectively. The Program Administrators have also monitored, assessed and managed each Fund’s liquidity risk regularly throughout the period.
Pursuant to the Rule’s requirements, the Board has received and reviewed a written report prepared by each Fund’s Program Administrator that addressed the operation of the Programs, assessed their adequacy and effectiveness and described any material changes made to the Programs.

1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds II, Natixis Funds Trust I 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:
Loomis Sayles Funds II:
Loomis Sayles International Growth Fund (the “International Growth Fund”)
Natixis Funds Trust I:
Natixis Oakmark International Fund
Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund (the “U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund”)
Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”)
Natixis Funds Trust II:
Natixis Oakmark Fund
Vaughan Nelson Mid Cap Fund (the “Mid Cap Fund”)
Each Fund is a diversified investment company, except for International Growth Fund, which is a non-diversified investment company.
Each Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares.
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, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for eight years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares) (prior to May 1, 2021, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares after ten years) 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 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 relevant 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 and Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”) and Natixis ETF Trust and Natixis ETF Trust II (“Natixis ETF Trusts”). Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (such as the Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A 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 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 or sub-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 or sub-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,
59 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. 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. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. 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.
As of June 30, 2022, securities held by the Funds were fair valued as follows:
Fund | Equity securities1 | Percentage of | ||||||
International Growth Fund | $ | 13,939,677 | 65.8 | % | ||||
Natixis Oakmark International Fund | 349,037,004 | 89.3 | % |
1 | Certain foreign equity securities were fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities. |
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, are recorded on the 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. Dividends reinvested and stock dividends are reflected as non-cash dividends on the Statements of Operations. 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. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. 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. 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, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income, and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.
| 60
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.
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. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. A Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts, to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Fund’s 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 appreciation (depreciation) 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. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Fund’s or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts. Forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
e. 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 June 30, 2022 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, where applicable, 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.
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 that have been or are expected to be reclaimed and paid. 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 are expected to be filed and paid 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.
Certain Funds have filed tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries (EU reclaims) and may continue to make such filings when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. These filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by the local jurisdictions’ tax authorities within the European Union, as well as a number of related judicial proceedings. EU reclaims are recognized by a Fund when deemed more likely than not to be collected, and are reflected as a reduction of foreign taxes withheld in the Statements of Operations. Any related receivable is reflected as tax reclaims receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Under certain circumstances, EU reclaims may be subject to closing agreements with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which may materially reduce the reclaim amounts realized by the Funds. Fees and expenses associated with closing agreements will be reflected in the Statements of Operations when it is determined that a closing agreement with the IRS is required.
f. 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 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 deferred Trustees’ fees, distributions in excess of income and/or
61 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
capital gain, forward foreign currency contract mark-to-market, distribution re-designations, foreign currency gains and losses, non-deductible expenses, net operating losses, passive foreign investment company adjustments, return of capital distributions received and deferral of EU reclaims. 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. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to wash sales, forward foreign currency contract mark-to-market, return of capital distributions received, net operating losses, deferral of EU reclaims, deferred Trustees’ fees and passive foreign investment company adjustments. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2021 was as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed in per-share amounts, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of June 30, 2022, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
h. Securities Lending. Certain Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
i. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and |
• | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that Natixis Oakmark International Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts.
Natixis Oakmark International Fund is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Fund’s holdings of foreign securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Natixis Oakmark International Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes.
Transactions in derivative instruments for Natixis Oakmark International Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as reflected within the Statements of Operations were as follows:
Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: | Forward foreign contracts | |||
Foreign exchange contracts | $ | 473,946 |
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on: | Forward foreign contracts | |||
Foreign exchange contracts | $ | 94,327 |
As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the Statement of Operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.
The volume of forward foreign currency contract activity, as a percentage of net assets, for Natixis Oakmark International Fund, based on gross month-end notional amounts outstanding during the period, including long and short positions at absolute value, was as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2022:
Natixis Oakmark International Fund | Forwards | |||
Average Notional Amount Outstanding | 1.49 | % | ||
Highest Notional Amount Outstanding | 2.03 | % | ||
Lowest Notional Amount Outstanding | 0.00 | % | ||
Notional Amount Outstanding as of June 30, 2022 | 0.00 | % |
Notional amounts outstanding at the end of the prior period are included in the average notional amount outstanding.
5. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse Natixis Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to Natixis Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations) for each Fund were as follows:
Fund | Sub-Transfer | |||
International Growth Fund | $ | 62 | ||
Natixis Oakmark Fund | 127,274 | |||
Natixis Oakmark International Fund | 382,206 | |||
U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund | 137,154 | |||
Mid Cap Fund | 98,362 | |||
Small Cap Value Fund | 42,392 |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

As of June 30, 2022, the Funds owe Natixis Distribution the following reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as payable to distributor):
Fund | Reimbursements | |||
International Growth Fund | $ | 10 | ||
Natixis Oakmark Fund | 2,177 | |||
Natixis Oakmark International Fund | 6,220 | |||
U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund | 2,622 | |||
Mid Cap Fund | 1,854 | |||
Small Cap Value Fund | 761 |
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 Natixis Distribution during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:
Fund | Commissions | |||
Natixis Oakmark Fund | $ | 44,887 | ||
Natixis Oakmark International Fund | 11,221 | |||
U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund | 12,366 | |||
Mid Cap Fund | 492 | |||
Small Cap Value Fund | 641 |
f. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trusts do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distribution, Natixis Investment Managers, LLC or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $369,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that he attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $210,000. 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, the chairperson of the Audit Committee and the chairperson of the Governance Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $20,000. 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF 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.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net depreciation in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction to expenses, as follows:
Fund | Amount | |||
Natixis Oakmark Fund | $ | (93,831 | ) | |
Natixis Oakmark International Fund | (15,238 | ) | ||
U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund | (71,292 | ) | ||
Mid Cap Fund | (25,832 | ) | ||
Small Cap Value Fund | (31,160 | ) |

Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Fund.
h. Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. Natixis Advisors has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Funds to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for the Funds’ Class N shares. This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2023 and is not subject to recovery under the expense limitation agreement described above.

7. Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. 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.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Funds incurred the following class-specific transfer agent fees and expenses (including sub-transfer agent fees, where applicable):
Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses | ||||||||||||||||

8. Class Action Settlements. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Mid Cap Fund received a payment of $238,726 as part of a class action settlement related to a security previously held in the Fund’s portfolio of investments. The payment has been included in “Class Action Settlements” on the Statements of Operations.
9. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts, entered into a $500,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $500,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% 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. The Funds paid certain legal fees in connection with the line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected in legal fees on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, none of the Funds had borrowings under this agreement.
10. Risk. The Funds’ investments in foreign securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit/counterparty and information risks. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities also are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and other foreign currency-related risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The International Growth Fund may invest to a significant extent in variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures. VIE structures can vary, but generally consist of a U.S.-listed company with contractual arrangements, through one or more wholly-owned special purpose vehicles, with a Chinese company that ultimately provides the U.S.-listed company with contractual rights to obtain economic benefits from the Chinese company. The VIE structure enables foreign investors, such as the Fund, to obtain investment exposure similar to that of an equity owner in a Chinese company in situations in which the Chinese government has restricted or prohibited the ownership of such company by foreign investors. The Fund’s exposure to VIE structures may pose additional risks because the VIE structure is not formally recognized under Chinese law. The Chinese government may cease to tolerate VIE structures at any time or impose new restrictions. In addition, Chinese companies using the VIE structure, and listed on stock exchanges in the U.S., could also face delisting or other ramifications for failure to meet the expectations and/or requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or other U.S. regulators. Any of these risks could reduce the liquidity and value of these investments or render them valueless.
International Growth Fund is non-diversified, which means that it is not limited under the 1940 Act to a percentage of assets that it may invest in any one issuer. Because the Fund may invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers, an investment in the Fund may involve a higher degree of risk than would be present in a diversified portfolio.
Global markets have experienced periods of high volatility triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. The impact of this pandemic and any other epidemic or pandemic that may arise in the future could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy and the financial performance of individual issuers, sectors, industries, asset classes, and markets in significant and unforeseen ways. Such effects could impair the Funds’ ability to maintain operational standards, disrupt the operations of the Funds’ service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and resulting future market disruptions in the region and around the world are impossible to predict, but could be significant and have a severe adverse effect on the region and around the world, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors.
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 June 30, 2022, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Funds’ 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% | Percentage of | |||||||
Fund | ||||||||
Natixis Oakmark Fund | 1 | 5.85 | % | |||||
Natixis Oakmark International Fund | 1 | 26.48 | % | |||||
U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund | 1 | 6.83 | % | |||||
Mid Cap Fund | 1 | 24.65 | % | |||||
Small Cap Value Fund | 1 | 7.43 | % |
Omnibus shareholder accounts for which Natixis Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts or investment models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Funds do not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.
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:

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 more recent month-end performance, visit im.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 | Performance for Class C shares assumes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase, and includes automatic conversion to Class A shares after eight years. |
2 | S&P 500® Index is a widely recognized measure of U.S. stock market performance. It is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation, among other factors. It also measures the performance of the large cap segment of the US equities market. |
3 | Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based index that covers the U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market of SEC-registered securities. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage-backed securities sectors. |
4 | Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower. |
5 | 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 limitations set to expire on 4/30/23. When a Fund’s expenses are below the limitation, gross and net expense ratios will be the same. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information about the Fund’s expense limitations. |

2 | Cboe S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXMSM) is a benchmark index designed to track the performance of a hypothetical buy-write strategy on the S&P 500® Index. The BXM is a passive total return index based on (1) buying an S&P 500 stock index portfolio, and (2) “writing” (or selling) the near-term S&P 500® Index (SPXSM) “covered” call option, generally on the third Friday of each month. The SPX call written will have about one month remaining to expiration, with an exercise price just above the prevailing index level (i.e., slightly out of the money). The SPX call is held until expiration and cash settled, at which time a new one-month, near-the-money call is written. |

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 January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022. 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 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 funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Board of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements, typically for an additional one-year period. This meeting typically includes all the Independent Trustees, including the Trustees who do not serve on the Contract Review Committee. After the Contract Review Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements at its June Board meeting.
In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Funds’ investment advisers (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 of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ advisory fees 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 limitations and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Advisers, including how profitability is determined for the Funds, 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 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, (ii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (iii) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including, to the extent applicable, allocations to brokers affiliated with the Advisers and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research and other similar services, (iv) each Adviser’s policies and procedures relating to, among other things, compliance, trading and best execution, proxy voting, liquidity and valuation, (v) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (vi) 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 about the Funds’ investment performance and the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, where available, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing each Fund’s performance and expense differentials against each Fund’s peer group/category of funds, total return information for various periods, third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing a Fund against similarly categorized funds, and performance ratings provided by a different third-party rating organization. The portfolio management team for each Fund or other representatives of the Advisers make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and Funds identified as presenting possible performance concerns may be subject to more frequent Board or Committee presentations and reviews. In addition, the Trustees are periodically provided with detailed statistical information about each Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings, both at the Board and at the Committee level.
The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements for a one-year period at its meeting held in June 2022. 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 also considered their experience with other funds advised by the Advisers, as well as the affiliation between the Advisers and Natixis Investment Managers, LLC, whose affiliates provide investment advisory services to other funds in the Natixis family of funds.
The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Advisers to the Funds, but also the benefits to the Funds from the monitoring and oversight services provided by Natixis Advisors, LLC (“Natixis Advisors”). They also considered the administrative and shareholder services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds. They also took into consideration increases in the services provided resulting from new regulatory requirements, such as new rules relating to the fair valuation of investments and the use of derivatives.
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.
| 12
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. The Trustees also received information about how comparative peer groups are constructed. In addition, the Trustees reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.
The Board noted that, through December 31, 2021, each Fund’s one-, three- and five-year performance, as applicable, 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 | Five-Year | ||||||||||
Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund | 12 | % | 14 | % | 7 | % | ||||||
Gateway Fund | 62 | % | 69 | % | 60 | % | ||||||
Mirova Global Green Bond Fund | 88 | % | 50 | % | N/A | |||||||
Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund | 33 | % | 30 | % | 18 | % | ||||||
Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund | 87 | % | 11 | % | N/A | |||||||
Mirova U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund | 8 | % | N/A | N/A |
In the case of each Fund that had performance that lagged that of a relevant category median as determined by the independent third-party for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements. These factors included one or more of the following: (1) 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; (2) that the Fund’s performance over the three-year period was strong relative to its category; (3) that the Fund’s long-term (10-year) relative performance remains strong relative to its category; and (4) that, in the case of Gateway Fund, the Fund’s performance had been consistent with its investment objective of earning positive returns while meaningfully reducing equity market volatility, such that its performance relative to its category would be expected to lag in certain market conditions. The Board also considered information about the Funds’ more recent performance, including how that performance had been impacted by the Covid-19 crisis.
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/or 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 administrative services as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and 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 mutual fund assets, the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of such assets, and the entrepreneurial, regulatory and other risks associated with sponsoring and managing mutual funds. In evaluating each Fund’s 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 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 demonstrated its intention to have competitive fee levels by making recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense limitations for various funds in the fund family. They noted that all of the Funds included have expense limitations in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for all of the Funds under their expense limitation agreements.
13 |
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 advisory fee rates, including: (1) that the advisory fee was only six basis points higher than the median of a peer group of funds; (2) that peer grouping for the Fund was challenging given the limited number of ESG-specific funds within the category; and (3) that the advisory fee rate of the Mirova Global Green Bond Fund had been reduced effective July 1, 2021 and the comparison against the peer group did not reflect the full impact of that reduction.
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 how expenses are determined and allocated for purposes of profitability calculations. 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, whether the Advisers had implemented breakpoints and/or expense limitations with respect to such Funds and the overall profit margin of Natixis Investment Managers, LLC compared to that of certain other investment managers for which such data was available.
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 limitations. The Trustees also considered management’s explanation of the factors that are taken into account with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense limitations. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that Gateway Fund, had breakpoints in its advisory fees and that each of the Funds was subject to an expense limitation. 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 Advisers and their affiliates of their relationships with the Funds, as discussed above. The Trustees also considered that the Funds have benefitted from the substantial reinvestment certain Advisers had made into their businesses.
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, including but not limited to the Covid-19 crisis and its significant disruptions to the economy and business operations, as well as more recent market volatility, on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund. |
• | Whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Advisers. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their affiliates were providing to the Funds. |
• | So-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution and administrative 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 benefits to the parent company of Natixis 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 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, 2023.

Effective December 1, 2018 (December 28, 2018 for Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund and December 15, 2020 for Mirova U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund), the Funds adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Rule”). The Rule requires registered open-end funds, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, to establish liquidity risk management programs in order to effectively manage fund liquidity and mitigate the risk that a fund could not meet redemption requests without significantly diluting the interests of remaining investors.
The rule requires the Funds to assess, manage and review their liquidity risk considering applicable factors during normal and foreseeable stressed conditions. In fulfilling this requirement, each Fund assesses and reviews (where applicable and amongst other matters) its investment strategy, portfolio holdings, possible investment concentrations, use of derivatives, short-term and long-term cash flow projections, use of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources. Each Program has established a Program Administrator (“Administrator”) which is the adviser of the Fund.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
Each Fund is prohibited from acquiring an investment if, after the acquisition, its holdings of illiquid assets will exceed 15% of its net assets. If a Fund does not hold a majority of highly liquid investments in its portfolio, then the Fund is required to establish a highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”). None of the Funds has established an HLIM.
During the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, there were no material changes to the Programs and no material events that impacted the operation of the Funds’ Programs. During the period, the Funds held sufficient liquid assets to meet redemptions on a timely basis and did not have any illiquid security violations.
During the period January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, the Funds held sufficient liquid assets to meet redemptions on a timely basis and did not have any illiquid security violations.
Annual Program Assessment and Conclusion
In the opinion of the Program Administrators, the Program of each Fund approved by the Funds’ Board is operating effectively. The Program Administrators have also monitored, assessed and managed each Fund’s liquidity risk regularly throughout the period.
Pursuant to the Rule’s requirements, the Board has received and reviewed a written report prepared by each Fund’s Program Administrator that addressed the operation of the Programs, assessed their adequacy and effectiveness and described any material changes made to the Programs.

1. Organization. Gateway Trust and Natixis Funds Trust I (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 Fund
Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund
Natixis Funds Trust I:
Mirova Global Green Bond Fund (the “Global Green Bond Fund”)
Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund (the “Global Sustainable Equity Fund”)
Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund (the “International Sustainable Equity Fund”)
Mirova U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund (the “U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund”)
Each Fund is a diversified investment company.
Each Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares, except for Global Green Bond Fund and International Sustainable Equity Fund, which do not offer Class C shares.
Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for all Funds except for Global Green Bond Fund which are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.25%. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for eight years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares) (prior to May 1, 2021, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares after ten years) 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 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 relevant 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 and Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”) and Natixis ETF Trust and Natixis ETF Trust II (“Natixis ETF Trusts”). Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (such as the Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A 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 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 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,
| 62
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. 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. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively. Domestic exchange-traded index option contracts are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations as determined by the Options Price Reporting Authority.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. 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.
As of June 30, 2022, securities held by the Funds were fair valued as follows:
Fund | Equity securities1 | Percentage of | ||||||
Global Sustainable Equity Fund | $ | 336,101,402 | 37.0 | % | ||||
International Sustainable Equity Fund | 17,838,681 | 91.6 | % |
1 | Certain foreign equity securities were fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities. |
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, are recorded on the 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. Dividends reinvested and stock dividends are reflected as non-cash dividends on the Statements of Operations. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium, if applicable. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as income. 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 distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. 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. 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, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized
63 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
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. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the amount of income available to be distributed by Global Green Bond Fund has been reduced by $180,691 as a result of losses arising from changes in exchange rates.
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. Futures Contracts. A Fund may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular instrument or index for a specified price on a specified future date.
When a Fund 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, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the broker. Gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability). 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 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 enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
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 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.
e. Option Contracts. Gateway Fund and Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund’s investment strategies make use of exchange-traded options. 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 a Fund are reduced.
When a Fund writes an index call option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value until the option expires or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. When an index call option expires or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid at expiration or 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. A Fund, as writer of an index call option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the index underlying the written option.
When a Fund purchases an index put option, it pays a premium and the index put option is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect current value until the option expires or a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction. Premiums paid for purchasing index put options which expire are treated as realized losses. When a 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 index put options is limited to the premium paid. Option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
f. Due from Brokers. Transactions and positions in certain futures contracts are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between a Fund and the various broker/dealers. The due from brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Global Green Bond Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for futures contracts (including variation margin, as applicable). In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

g. 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 June 30, 2022 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, where applicable, 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.
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 that have been or are expected to be reclaimed and paid. 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 are expected to be filed and paid 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.
Certain Funds have filed tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries (EU reclaims) and may continue to make such filings when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. These filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by the local jurisdictions’ tax authorities within the European Union, as well as a number of related judicial proceedings. EU reclaims are recognized by a Fund when deemed more likely than not to be collected, and are reflected as a reduction of foreign taxes withheld in the Statements of Operations. Any related receivable is reflected as tax reclaims receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Under certain circumstances, EU reclaims may be subject to closing agreements with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which may materially reduce the reclaim amounts realized by the Funds. Fees and expenses associated with closing agreements will be reflected in the Statements of Operations when it is determined that a closing agreement with the IRS is required.
h. 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 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 premium amortization, futures contract mark-to-market, non-deductible expenses, capital gain distribution received, return of capital distributions received, distribution re-designations and foreign currency gains and losses. 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. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to wash sales, deferred Trustees’ fees, premium amortization, future contract mark-to-market, capital gain distribution received and return of capital distributions received. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2021 was as follows:

Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed in per-share amounts, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.

Amounts in the table above exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Adjustments may include, but are not limited to, wash sales and derivatives mark-to-market. The difference between these amounts and those reported in the table above are primarily attributable to foreign currency mark-to-market.
i. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of June 30, 2022, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of
| 66
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
j. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and |
• | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of June 30, 2022, at value:

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments the Funds used during the period include written index call options, purchased index put options and futures contracts.
Through the use of index options, Gateway Fund and Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund intends that its risk management strategy will reduce the volatility inherent in equity investments while also allowing for more participation in equity returns than hybrid investments. Each Fund seeks to provide an efficient trade-off between risk and reward, where risk is characterized by volatility or fluctuations in value over time. To meet this objective, the Funds invest in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks, while also writing index call options and, for Gateway Fund, purchasing index put options. Writing index call options can reduce a Fund’s volatility, provide a steady cash flow and be an important source of a Fund’s return, although it also may reduce a Fund’s ability to profit from increases in the value of its equity portfolio. Buying index put options, can protect a 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. For Gateway Fund, 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. For Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund, the combination of the diversified stock portfolio and the steady cash flow from writing of index call options is intended to moderate the volatility of returns relative to an all-equity portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Gateway Fund used written index call options and purchased index put options and Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund used written index call options in accordance with these strategies.
Global Green Bond Fund seeks to provide total return, through a combination of capital appreciation and current income, by investing in green bonds. The Fund pursues its objective by primarily investing in fixed-income securities. In connection with its principal
69 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
investment strategies, the Fund may also invest in various types of futures contracts for investment purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Global Green Bond Fund used U.S. and foreign government bond futures to gain yield curve exposure.
Global Green Bond Fund is subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities. The Fund will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that it invests in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates and to manage duration without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Global Green Bond Fund used U.S. and foreign government bond futures to manage duration.
Global Green Bond Fund is also subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may use futures contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Fund’s holdings of foreign securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Global Green Bond Fund used currency futures for hedging purposes.

As the Funds value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.

The volume of futures contract activity as a percentage of net assets for Global Green Bond Fund, based on month-end notional amounts outstanding during the period, at absolute value, was as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2022:
Global Green Bond Fund | Futures | |||

Unrealized gain and/or loss on open futures is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The aggregate notional values of futures contracts are not recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and therefore are not included in the Funds’ net assets.
Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by the Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearing house, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers typically are required to segregate customer margin for exchange-traded derivatives from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. The following table shows the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the Fund would incur if parties to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, as of June 30, 2022:

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse Natixis Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to Natixis Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations) for each Fund were as follows:

allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF 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.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net depreciation in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction to expenses, as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses | ||||||||||||||||
Fund | Class A | Class C | Class N | Class Y | ||||||||||||
Gateway Fund | $ | 317,441 | $ | 32,052 | $ | 2,186 | $ | 1,930,074 | ||||||||

U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund | 631 | 1,440 | 880 | 681 |
8. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts, entered into a $500,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $500,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% 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. The Funds paid certain legal fees in connection with the line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected in legal fees on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, International Sustainable Equity Fund had an average daily balance on the line of credit (for those days on which there were borrowings) of $600,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 2.68%. Interest expense incurred on the line of credit was $268.
9. Risk. The Funds’ investments in foreign securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit/counterparty and information risks. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities also are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and other foreign currency-related risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity.
Global markets have experienced periods of high volatility triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. The impact of this pandemic and any other epidemic or pandemic that may arise in the future could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy and the financial performance of individual issuers, sectors, industries, asset classes, and markets in significant and unforeseen ways. Such effects could impair the Funds’ ability to maintain operational standards, disrupt the operations of the Funds’ service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.

Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and resulting future market disruptions in the region and around the world are impossible to predict, but could be significant and have a severe adverse effect on the region and around the world, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors.
10. Interest Expense. The Funds incur interest expense on cash (including foreign currency) overdrafts at the custodian bank and, for Global Green Bond Fund, foreign currency debit balances at brokers. Interest expense incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is reflected on the Statements 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 June 30, 2022, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Funds’ total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings were as follows:
Fund | Number of 5% | Percentage of | Percentage | Total | ||||||||||||
Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund | 3 | 79.68 | % | — | 79.68 | % | ||||||||||
Global Green Bond Fund | 4 | 40.68 | % | 10.94 | % | 51.62 | % | |||||||||

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which Natixis Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts or investment models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Funds do not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.
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:
