What You Should Know:
Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise.
The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. The fund can also invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets, these risks can be significant. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
As Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund’s fiscal year got underway last fall, widespread concern about the world’s financial markets troubled investors, although the market’s risk tolerance appeared to increase modestly in March of 2009. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the fund returned 3.80% based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.36 in reinvested dividends. The fund lagged its broad-based benchmark, Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 4.70%, but its results were better than the -0.49% average return on the funds in its Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond peer group. The fund’s 30-day SEC yield as of March 31, 2009 was 5.80%.
WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPERFORM ITS PEER GROUP?
As part of a gradual, tactical shift during the period, we capitalized on strength in certain high-yield assets and invested the proceeds in what we felt were attractive, investment-grade names, which did relatively well in December. We added to these positions primarily by investing in new issues that were brought to market at what we saw as significant discounts. In the first quarter of 2009 the fund benefited from rising valuations of higher-yielding, lower-quality issues as risk aversion began to diminish.
The fund’s holdings in U.S. government agency securities were positive after the Treasury announced targeted purchases. While commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) modestly underperformed the broader market, our combination of well-seasoned, high-quality CMBS did relatively well. U.S. government agency securities also contributed to performance.
Generally speaking, our non-U.S. dollar allocations were positive for the fund during the past six months. We had a significant allocation to securities denominated in the Japanese yen as a defensive measure late in 2008, but we sold most of these positions at a profit later in the period and redeployed assets to securities denominated in Canadian and Australian dollars. These shifts proved to be opportune.
WHAT CAUSED THE FUND TO LAG ITS BENCHMARK?
Our allocation to mortgage-backed securities included 30-year, higher-quality issues in an effort to lengthen spread duration while keeping a lid on risk. Government support caused this sector to do well, but the fund was underweight in these issues relative to the benchmark, which limited its ability to benefit from the rally.
Treasury securities were the top performers during the final three months of 2008. However, this trend reversed in the first quarter of 2009 as interest rates rose and risk aversion diminished. The fund’s holdings in 20-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) provided attractive returns in the first quarter of 2009, but this did not outweigh negative returns late in 2008. We recently reduced the fund’s TIPS exposure and redeployed the assets into a combination of shorter- and longer-maturity nominal (non-TIPS) Treasuries.
We took advantage of low prices late in 2008, adding to the fund’s position in financials. This strategy worked well in the closing quarter of 2008, although it detracted from performance early in 2009 as spreads (the price differential between lower- and higher-quality issues) narrowed. However, for the full six-month period, the fund’s overweight in financials was a net positive. Negative security selection among high-yield industrials made this the fund’s worst-performing group for the period.
WHAT NOW?
We plan to continue adding opportunistically to investment-grade corporate bonds, focusing on the new-issue market. We also plan to add to high-quality CMBS and cautiously extend the fund’s position in high-yielding securities if the credit markets show further signs of stabilizing. We are currently focusing on investment-grade, non-financial companies. Our goal is to build longer-term value while reducing interest rate sensitivity as the recovery in the financial markets gains traction.

Management Discussion
With the exception of U.S. government issues, bond markets suffered significant declines last fall, as credit markets remained frozen and the global economy continued to contract. However, conditions became more stable in December and for much of the first quarter of 2009. Massive government stimulus packages and loan programs brought a measure of reassurance, encouraging investors to move tentatively into corporate sectors.
For the six-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2009, the total return on Loomis Sayles High Income Fund was -12.25% based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.19 in reinvested dividends. Although these results are disappointing in absolute terms, the fund achieved a slim lead over its benchmark, Barclays Capital High Yield Composite Index, which returned -12.97% for the period, and outperformed the -15.47% average return on Morningstar’s High Yield Bond category. The fund’s 30-day SEC yield as of March 31, 2009 was 9.51%.
WHICH FACTORS WERE THE MOST HARMFUL?
Stretches of severe illiquidity that began last fall fueled investors’ risk aversion, as bond dealers were unwilling to take positions in the turbulent markets. The result was falling prices for corporate issues across all quality ranges, as nervous investors shifted assets into Treasury issues. The fund’s returns suffered from the marked weakness in holdings rated below investment grade, especially securities of companies burdened by heavy debt levels.
A combination of rising unemployment, recession and unwieldy debt loads also drove down the price of bonds that had been issued as part of leveraged buy-outs – corporate acquisitions that had been financed largely by borrowing when credit was abundant. Lower-rated holdings in the industrial and utilities sectors were especially hard hit as balance sheets weakened and defaults increased. Reduced consumer spending also drove down valuations on fund holdings in the consumer discretionary and staples sectors.
WHAT HELPED STABILIZE THE MARKETS?
A series of government measures in the past several months pumped large amounts of capital into the credit markets, allaying our concerns of a possible system-wide meltdown. We took advantage of the market’s improving tone to expand holdings of higher-quality banking issues selling at low prices. By the end of March 2009, this strategy had aided absolute and relative returns, as investment-grade issues staged a partial recovery.
The Federal Reserve introduced one program aimed at supporting the credit needs of households and small businesses and another designed to provide liquidity for banks with “toxic” assets on their balance sheets. These initiatives bolstered confidence in bonds backed by commercial mortgages and those secured by auto and student loans. We responded by increasing the fund’s exposure to AAA-rated Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities and Asset Backed Securities tied to credit card debt. This boosted both relative and absolute returns in the first three months of 2009, when investors began to take interest in better quality, high-yield issues – those rated BB – where default risks appeared lower. Unfortunately, this renewed interest was not enough to erase earlier declines.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD?
We believe high-yield issues will continue to be volatile, as defaults continue to increase over the course of the year. We remain underweight the CCC-rated portion of the market, as we believe most defaults will come from this space. We believe investment-grade credit continues to offer strong relative value, as spreads remain at relatively wide levels. As the markets grow more convinced the global recovery has taken hold, we eventually expect to see more demand for riskier assets, such as high-yield and investment-grade credit, as well as commodity currencies.

Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. The fund may also invest in public or private debt obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. or non-U.S. issuers. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade. Lower-rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher-rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
Investors in capital markets around the world continued to be strongly risk averse as the credit crisis worsened and the global economy contracted during the six months ended March 31, 2009. Fixed-income securities with higher credit risk performed poorly throughout most of the period, while government bonds and other high-quality issues did relatively well. In the international currency markets, the U.S. dollar gained in strength against most foreign currencies, including the euro and the Japanese yen.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles International Bond Fund returned -2.04% at net asset value, including $0.10 in dividends reinvested during the period. For the same six months, the fund’s benchmark, Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond ex-USD Index, returned -0.08%, while the average return on the funds in Morningstar’s World Bond category was -1.35%. The fund’s 30-day SEC yield as of March 31, 2009 was 3.95%.
WHAT CAUSED THE FUND TO LAG ITS BENCHMARK?
The fund’s emphasis on investment-grade corporate bonds and securities not represented in the benchmark detracted from results. Continuing reports of slowing worldwide economic activity during the period intensified risk aversion, causing the fund’s investment-grade holdings to become a drag on performance. The worst performers were investment-grade bonds issued by financial companies in the United Kingdom and Europe. Although high-yield corporate issues recovered somewhat in the March of 2009, the improvement was not enough to offset their poor results in October and November. The fund’s non-benchmark country position in U.S. dollar-denominated assets detracted from results when dollar-denominated bonds underperformed in foreign markets, despite strength in the dollar itself.
WHICH STRATEGIES PROVED SUPPORTIVE?
Despite disappointing results from some U.S. dollar-denominated assets, the fund’s overall currency strategy was positive. Our strategy of underweighting the euro and the Canadian dollar benefited the fund as those currencies weakened in value relative to the U.S. dollar. The fund’s non-benchmark exposure to the U.S. dollar also helped results, as did our de-emphasis of the Japanese market. As the yen weakened against the U.S. dollar in March, we reduced the fund’s exposure to Japan. Meanwhile, the fund had little or no exposure to such emerging-market currencies as the Korean won or the Polish zloty, which are represented in the benchmark.
WHAT CHANGED IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2009?
Even as some economic indicators in the United States and Japan appeared to worsen in the first three months of 2009, market attitudes about risk seemed to improve, as stock markets, high-yield bonds and currencies of commodity-rich countries all recovered. As a consequence, riskier assets began outperforming the higher-quality securities that had led the market since mid-2008. Meanwhile, long-duration U.S. Treasuries came under selling pressure as investors became concerned that inflationary pressures might begin to increase.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD?
Investor sentiment appears focused on the positives. In April, the Group of 20 (G-20) international policy makers agreed to pledge up to $1 trillion in emergency assistance to the global economy. This action seems to have further contributed to investors’ willingness to accept risk.
Consequently we have positioned the fund for the global economic recovery we see ahead by maintaining the fund’s underweight in the Japanese yen and continuing to emphasize investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds. We think it is possible the market may pull back somewhat after the recent recovery by higher-risk securities. If this occurs, we intend to take advantage of the resulting lower prices to add to our positions in investments that we believe will benefit in an economic recovery. This would include increasing exposure to currencies linked to commodity prices, emerging-market bonds and high-yield corporate bonds.

What You Should Know:
Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. Securities issued by the U.S. government are guaranteed by the U.S. government if held to maturity; mutual funds that invest in these securities are not guaranteed. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies may not be government guaranteed.
Management Discussion
Government attempts to stabilize the financial system and reinvigorate the economy gradually worked to improve investors’ willingness to accept risk in the first half of Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund’s fiscal year. Investors appear to believe that steps taken by global governments have, at a minimum, reduced the risk of an extended global depression. However, the staggering cost of this extensive government intervention is beginning to trouble investors.
During the six months ended March 31, 2009, the fund returned 3.79% based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.15 in dividends reinvested during the period. The fund lagged its benchmark, Barclays Capital 1-5 Year Government Bond Index, which returned 4.64% for the period, but came in ahead of the average 3.32% return on Morningstar’s Short Government category. The fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.41% at March 31, 2009.
WHAT WORKED WELL FOR THE FUND?
Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) backed by 30-year loans were the focus of the Federal Reserve’s purchase program, and the fund benefited from its emphasis on these securities during the period. Specifically, we focused on MBS issued by government-sponsored agencies, which have the advantage of indirect support from the U.S. government. High-quality, short duration, asset-backed securities (ABS), including those backed by automobile loans and credit card receivables, were another area of focus. These securities currently offer attractive yields and have strong credit quality due to their secured status and other credit enhancements. The fund’s position in Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) also performed well as deflation concerns eased during the period.
Relative to its benchmark, the fund is also overweight in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). In this sector, the fund holds senior securities backed by first mortgages on commercial properties. We see relatively little risk of rating downgrades in these holdings.
WHICH SECURITIES PROVED DISADVANTAGEOUS?
The worst performers during the period were MBS that were not issued by government-sponsored enterprises because they do not benefit from the implied government support. As the real estate markets continued to deteriorate, this weakness also spread into the corporate bond market and to non-residential mortgages, such as CMBS. Although the CMBS market recovered in the first quarter of 2009, it had lagged for the full period, and this contributed to the fund’s performance shortfall relative to the benchmark.
HOW DID YOU POSITION THE PORTFOLIO?
We increased the fund’s holdings in TIPS and CMBS, and reduced holdings in MBS issued by government-sponsored enterprises. We believe MBS will continue to benefit from the support of the U.S. government, given their critical function in the mortgage market, but we see limited additional upside potential.
High-quality CMBS have suffered as real estate concerns grew, so we used this as an opportunity to purchase the most senior securities – those we believe to have ample credit protection. We also added to the fund’s TIPS holdings because the sector had underperformed nominal (non-TIPS) Treasuries.
WHAT’S YOUR CURRENT OUTLOOK?
Near term, we are not expecting any changes in the Federal Funds rate, although we think longer-maturity interest rates will move modestly higher. Accordingly, we are more focused on identifying income opportunities than on looking for significant principal appreciation. U.S. Treasuries may do well near term, as the economy struggles along, but their yields are so low that any hint of a recovery or inflation could have a negative impact. We believe the income advantage offered by MBS holdings should make them perform well provided the interest rate environment remains relatively stable.

What You Should Know:
Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise.
The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. The fund can also invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets, these risks can be significant. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
With the exception of U.S. government issues, bond markets suffered significant declines last fall, as credit markets remained frozen and the global economy continued to contract. However, conditions became more stable in December and for much of the first quarter of 2009. Massive government stimulus packages and loan programs brought a measure of reassurance, encouraging investors to move tentatively into corporate sectors.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund provided a total return at net asset value of -9.47%, including $0.49 in dividends and $0.08 in capital gains reinvested during the period. The fund underperformed its benchmark, Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 4.70% for the period. The fund also lagged Morningstar’s Multisector Bond category, which had an average return of -8.03%. The fund’s 30-day SEC yield at the end of March was 10.20%.
WHAT FACTORS WERE FAVORABLE FOR THE FUND?
The fund’s financial holdings rallied in response to the Treasury department’s lending programs. In the non-investment-grade arena, results got a boost when the financing arm of a major auto maker gained access to federal funding. Renewed confidence in the global financial system at the beginning of 2009 partially reversed losses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2008 across many sectors.
WHICH STRATEGIES HURT RETURNS?
At the sector level, the fund trailed its benchmark and Morningstar peers due to limited exposure to U.S. Treasury and agency securities – by far the period’s best performers. Investors poured money into these safe havens, siphoning assets from corporate bonds and driving down prices of investment-grade and high-yield segments where the fund held major stakes.
As the global economy weakened, demand for industrial products of all kinds declined. Fears grew that credit would become even tighter and companies carrying high levels of debt were especially hard hit. Fund holdings in telecommunications, healthcare and the troubled auto sector fell sharply. In December and January, prices firmed and spreads narrowed. However, this improved performance was not enough to offset losses incurred prior to December 2008. High-yield convertibles also held back performance, with losses only partially mitigated by improved market conditions in the first three months of 2009.
Falling commodity prices tied to shrinking global demand undercut the currencies of countries dependent on commodity exports. The U.S. dollar strengthened against many of these currencies as investors moved out of commodity-related areas and turned to the greenback for greater stability. As a result, the fund suffered declines in holdings denominated in the currencies of Canada, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico and New Zealand. There were modest rebounds late in the period, but they were not able to recover losses sustained earlier.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD?
We believe high-yield issues will continue to be volatile, as defaults continue to increase over the course of the year. We remain underweight the CCC-rated portion of the market, as we believe most defaults will come from this space. We believe investment-grade credit continues to offer strong relative value, as spreads remain at relatively wide levels. As the markets grow more convinced the global recovery has taken hold, we eventually expect to see more demand for riskier assets, such as high-yield and investment-grade credit, as well as commodity currencies.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees and certain exchange fees and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. In addition, each fund may assess a minimum balance fee of $20 on an annual basis for accounts that fall below the required minimum to establish an account. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the funds’ prospectuses. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first line in the table 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 October 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your Class.
The second line in the table of each Class of fund shares provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line in the table of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

1. Organization. Natixis Funds Trust I and Loomis Sayles Funds 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 (“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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to certain fixed income funds of the Trusts; the financial statements for the other funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Natixis Funds Trust I:
Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund (the “Core Plus Bond Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Funds II:
Loomis Sayles High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles International Bond Fund (the “International Bond Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund (the “Limited Term Government and Agency Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”)
The Funds each offer Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the Prospectus.
Class A shares of all Funds except Limited Term Government and Agency Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class A shares of Limited Term Government and Agency Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, but pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for eight years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares), and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if those shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other Class of shares and pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year. Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Y shares are generally intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are excepted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund’s Prospectus.
Most expenses of the Trusts can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trusts. Expenses of a fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees applicable to such class). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a fund if the fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate dividends 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 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.
a. Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Forward foreign currency contracts are “marked-to-market” daily utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.
Certain Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities
65
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.
b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Principal adjustments (in the event of deflation) are recorded as reductions of interest income to the extent of interest income earned. The amount by which deflationary principal adjustments exceed interest income earned is recorded as an increase to the cost basis of the security. Additionally, the amount by which deflationary principal adjustments exceed rising inflationary principal adjustments on a cumulative basis, if any, is recorded as an increase to the cost basis of the security. 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. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
Each Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of expropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the prices of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies and may also be used for hedging purposes. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. 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.
e. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. Each Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examination (tax years ended September 30, 2005-2008), where applicable, and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund 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 taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable, and are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

f. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as foreign currency transactions, premium amortization, defaulted bond adjustments, paydown gains and losses, expired capital loss carryforwards and return of capital and capital gains distributions from REITS. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, premium amortization accruals, forward contracts mark to market, dividends payable, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustment, straddle loss deferrals, REIT basis adjustments, discount accretion on inflation-protected securities, defaulted bond interest, capital loss carryforwards and post-October capital loss deferrals. 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 September 30, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | 2008 Distributions Paid From: |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
Core Plus Bond Fund | | $ | 8,747,730 | | $ | — | | $ | 8,747,730 |
High Income Fund | | | 3,284,465 | | | — | | | 3,284,465 |
International Bond Fund | | | 243,435 | | | — | | | 243,435 |
Limited Term Government and Agency Fund | | | 5,186,113 | | | — | | | 5,186,113 |
Strategic Income Fund | | | 794,838,869 | | | 9,533,629 | | | 804,372,498 |
Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, if any, are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.
As of September 30, 2008, the capital loss carryforwards and post-October losses were as follows:

g. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% 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. It is each Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. 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.
h. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned secu-
67
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
rities 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 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.
As of March 31, 2009, there were no securities on loan.
i. Delayed Delivery Commitments. Certain transactions, such as forward transactions, or purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery instruments may have a similar effect on a Fund’s net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. The price of the underlying instruments and the date when they will be paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. If a Fund enters into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents will be maintained in an amount at least equal to the commitment with the custodian and/ or broker. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
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.
k. New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
3. Fair Value Measurements. The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; |
| • | | Level 2 — prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments 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.
Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in investments carried at value and include forward contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2009:

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

5. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
a. Management Fees. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to each Fund. Under the terms of the management agreements, each Fund pays a management fee at the following annual rates, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | | | | | | | | | |

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distributors has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services.

Accordingly, the Funds agreed to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediaries (which generally are a percentage of the value of shares held) not exceeding what the Funds would have paid its transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediaries. Natixis Distributors pays the remainder of the fees. Listed below are the fees incurred by the Funds which are included in the transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.

f. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Funds do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US, or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 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 the Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each Fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, net depreciation in the value of participants’ deferral accounts has been included in Miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations, as follows:

Strategic Income Fund | | | 39,732 |
g. Redemption Fees. Shareholders of Class A shares of High Income Fund are charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeem, including redeeming by exchange within 60 days of acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of short-term trading, such as portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The redemption fee is deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and is paid to the Fund. The “first-in, first-out” method is used to determine the holding period of redeemed or exchanged shares, which means that if a shareholder acquired shares on different days, the shares acquired first will be redeemed or exchanged first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies. A new holding period begins with each purchase or exchange. These fees are accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
On March 27, 2009, the Trustees approved the elimination of redemption fees on High Income Fund effective June 1, 2009.
6. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% 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.
Prior to March 11, 2009, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participated in the line of credit. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.
7. Concentration of Risk. International Bond Fund is a non-diversified fund. Compared with diversified mutual funds, the International Bond Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular country. Therefore, the International Bond Fund’s returns could be significantly affected by the performance of any one of the small number of countries in its portfolio.
8. Shareholders. At March 31, 2009, the Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held 39,874 shares of beneficial interest of Limited Term Government and Agency Fund. At March 31, 2009, Natixis US owned shares equating to 69.93% of International Bond Fund’s net assets.

What You Should Know:
The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
Last fall’s negative financial news continued through the first quarter of 2009. Investors who were glad to see the end of 2008 found little or no relief in January and February. Although many felt that selling pressure had been overdone by the time March rolled in, most simply felt numb. Low valuation levels coupled with nascent signs of stabilization – or at least slower rates of decline in some sectors – prompted investors to venture back into the market, which helped elevate prices. Even so, for the full six-month period ended March 31, 2009, the most conservative investments (notably government bonds) emerged with the least damage.
Loomis Sayles Global Markets Fund returned -19.90% for the six months ended March 31, 2009, based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.25 in reinvested dividends. For the same period, the fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI World Index (common stocks from developed countries around the world) returned - -30.88%, while its secondary benchmark, Citigroup World Government Bond Index (government bonds issued in the United States and other developed countries) returned 3.57%. The average return on Morningstar’s World Allocation category (primarily global equity funds) was -20.71% for the period.
WHICH STRATEGIES OR STOCKS HELPED FUND PERFORMANCE?
Relative to the benchmark, the fund was overweight in information technology and held a substantial portion of assets in globally diversified bonds, both government and corporate. These allocations, along with strong stock selection within technology, aided relative performance. Solid earnings reports made Apple a strong performer. Monsanto also performed well in the first quarter of 2009, driven by increasing market share and other factors.
Other good performers included Amazon.com, which reported profits and sales that were above estimates, and Samsung Electronics which benefited from an increase in the price of its handsets. They rose in price with increasing demand for smartphones. In a recent reversal, Goldman Sachs reported an improved outlook on its first-quarter results, in part driven by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation actions and several private equity gains.
WHICH SECTORS OR STOCKS WERE THE WORST?
Telecom and energy were the worst sectors. Telecom is a subscription-heavy business that lagged during the period. As for energy, in the last six months oil prices fell from $100 per barrel to less than $45 by the end of December 2008, settling in the $40 range by the end of March 2009. The worst individual stocks included such financial companies as JPMorgan Chase and Standard Chartered PLC, which declined on general concerns about credit quality, equity dilution and possible nationalization. The changing rules related to government bail-out funds also weighed on investors. JPMorgan was sold.
HOW DID THE FUND RESPOND?
While there has been no change in our underlying strategy, we have adjusted the portfolio to ensure it includes companies we think will benefit from a global recovery and are likely to move through the upcoming earnings season relatively unscathed. We will continue to take action as we receive updates from the companies’ management teams. We also reduced the fund’s consumer staples exposure in order to seek better growth opportunities.
WHAT NOW?
As the improved market environment we witnessed in March carries over into April, the inevitable question is whether the recent rally is just a breather or the start of a new trend. The stock market is widely regarded as a forward-looking indicator, suggesting that it should rise before the negative economic news dissipates. Timing is a key question. We are looking for confirmation that the rate of economic decline is indeed slowing, that the housing market is bottoming and that the credit markets have truly recovered. We believe that when these signposts are passed (or confidence increases that they soon may be), the market should be on firmer ground.

PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
The charts comparing the fund’s performance to two indexes provide you with a general sense of how it performed. The fund’s total return for the period shown below appears with and without sales charges and includes fund expenses and fees. An index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged and does not have expenses that affect the results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Investors would incur transaction costs and other expenses if they purchased the securities necessary to match the index.

NOTES TO CHARTS
See page 11 for a description of the indexes.
1 | Returns shown in the chart include performance of the fund’s Institutional Class shares, which were redesignated as Class Y shares on 2/1/06. For periods prior to the inception of Class A and Class C shares (2/1/06), the prior Institutional Class performance has been restated to reflect the sales loads and expenses of Class A and Class C shares. The restatement of the fund’s performance to reflect Class A and Class C expenses is based on the net expenses of the Class after taking into account the fund’s then current expense cap arrangements. The growth of $10,000 chart compares the performance of Class A shares, at net asset value, to the performance of Class A shares including the maximum sales charge of 5.75%. This chart reflects the performance of Class A Shares rather than Class Y shares because Class A shares have the highest sales charge. Prior to 2/1/06, the fund was offered without a sales charge. |
2 | Does not include a sales charge. |
3 | Includes the maximum sales charge of 5.75%. |
4 | Performance for Class C shares assumes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase. |
5 | Fund performance has been increased by expense reductions and reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower. |

What You Should Know:
Growth stocks are generally more sensitive to market movements because their stock prices are based on future expectations. Frequent portfolio turnover may result in increased tax liabilities that will reduce the fund’s overall return. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
Worsening economic news and rising investor anxiety sent U.S. stocks into a tailspin during the six months ended March 31, 2009. Stocks across the board tumbled as a succession of reports detailed deterioration in the economy and the financial markets. However, market sentiment showed signs of improving in March, as evidence began to appear that the economy was stabilizing. The news helped push equity prices up for the month, but not by enough to overcome the steep losses of the previous five months.
In this volatile environment, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Growth Fund returned -27.20% at net asset value for the six months ended March 31, 2009. For the same period, the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned -25.97%, while the average return on the funds in Morningstar’s Large Growth category was -26.80%.
WHICH STOCKS OR SECTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
Healthcare and financial stocks were detractors during the period. Within healthcare, Celgene Corp. and Covance, Inc. produced particularly weak results. Celgene’s share price declined after the company lowered its revenue guidance for Revlimid, a drug used in the treatment of anemia and multiple myeloma. Biopharmaceutical drug maker Covance’s stock fell after the company announced possible delays in several projects. We sold Covance, but Celgene remained in the fund’s portfolio at the end of March.
The fund’s emphasis on the underperforming financial sector held the fund back. In particular, slumping capital markets affected revenues of three market sensitive holdings: discount broker Charles Schwab, asset manager BlackRock, and CME Group, the world’s largest futures and options exchange. CSX Corporation also detracted from performance. A major transportation services and logistics company, CSX was impacted by declines in commodity prices and factory orders, prompting concern that freight volumes would begin to dry up as well. All four positions were sold.
WHICH STOCKS WERE SUPPORTIVE?
On-line retailer Amazon.com and discount consumer electronics chain Best Buy Co. both posted solid quarterly earnings, supported by surprisingly stable consumer spending patterns. In the energy sector, the fund benefited on a relative basis from holding Southwestern Energy Co., an integrated corporation focusing on natural gas exploration and production operations. The company continued to have strong results from its operations in the Fayetteville Shale region of Arkansas. Although financial stocks generally struggled, investment bank Goldman Sachs Group gained ground early in 2009 as investors began to perceive that the company may be well positioned for a potential market rebound.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD?
While most of the first half of the fund’s fiscal year proved disappointing, the period ended on an up note for stocks in March. This gave some credence to the hope that the economy may be in a bottoming process, at least for some of the hardest-hit sectors. However, we are mindful that this process is never straightforward. We prefer to focus on facts and adhere to our long-term discipline of seeking to identify large-cap growth companies with strong fundamentals and leading products.
Having said that, we acknowledge that the stock market historically has been a forward-looking indicator, turning up in anticipation of positive changes. We have kept sector weightings relatively consistent, although we recently added to the fund’s holdings in the materials and processing groups. We believe the federal government’s stimulus efforts should result in increased infrastructure spending and help some companies that stand to benefit from such cyclical trends.

What You Should Know
Small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than larger, more established companies. The secondary market for these stocks may be less liquid, which could adversely impact the fund’s value. Growth funds involve increased risks, in part, because the value of the underlying securities is based on future expectations that may or may not be met. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund is subject to currency decline. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
The market volatility that started last fall continued into 2009. We maintained Loomis Sayles Mid Cap Growth Fund’s defensive strategy by emphasizing sectors like healthcare and consumer staples that are typically regarded as being less volatile. January and February brought such steep declines in stock prices that, by March, investors were numb. However, as so often happens when the situation appears most bleak, signs of recovery began to appear. Low stock prices, along with signs of stabilization – or at least of slowing declines – encouraged some investors to venture into the markets again, elevating stock prices.
Unfortunately, for the six months ended March 31, 2009, the major equity indexes were down. For the period, Class A shares of the fund returned -29.20% at net asset value. The fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, returned -29.81%, while the average return on the funds in Morningstar’s Mid-Cap Growth category was -29.57%.
WHICH SECTORS AND STOCKS WORKED IN FAVOR OF THE FUND?
Energy was the strongest sector during the period. We emphasized exploration and production companies, as well as some equipment and services companies. Among individual holdings, good performers included deepwater service providers like Oceaneering International. Also in the services area, we emphasized oil rather than natural gas, which slumped along with natural gas prices. One of the fund’s best performing individual stocks was Broadcom Corp. This leading producer of semiconductors for broadband communications demonstrated good control of operating expenses during the downturn. Other positive performers included Dollar Tree, Inc., a leading “extreme value” retailer enjoying strong same-store sales, driven in part by the expansion of its customer base to middle-income shoppers. In healthcare, two stocks grew into our largest holdings: Illumina, Inc. (a life sciences tool company) and Myriad Genetics (a molecular diagnostics company).
WHAT STOCKS OR STRATEGIES PROVED DISAPPOINTING?
Technology was the fund’s worst performing sector, primarily as a result of stock selection, even though it was one of the benchmark’s stronger sectors. Financial companies also hurt performance, although here the drawdown was primarily the result of capital markets exposure. Pockets of weakness included investment management companies and stock and futures exchanges. For example, NASDAQ OMX Group experienced pricing pressures from competitors, notably electronic trading platforms. SVB Financial Group, the holding company for Silicon Valley Bank, was also a poor performer. Despite the fact that the bank’s customers work in the technology and life sciences industries, it did not escape the deteriorating credit environment. Concerns about the potential vulnerability of SVB’s core customer base to capital funding restraints deterred investors. One of our exploration and production companies, Continental Resources, was also one of the fund’s worst performers for the period. The steep fall in oil prices caused the company to curtail its drilling program, lowering production estimates for 2008 and 2009. All three stocks were sold during the period.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD?
This spring we began to emerge from our defensive positioning, moving toward a more balanced portfolio. We believe the massive, global trends toward monetary easing and fiscal stimulus will eventually gain traction. However, we also believe the path to recovery will not be linear. Signs of a recovery are likely to mix with lingering economic concerns. Consequently we have adopted a strategy that combines defensive, less cyclical stocks (healthcare, value retailers and auto parts retailers, for example) and stocks of companies with more exposure to the economic cycle (including apparel retailers, technology, energy and materials companies).

What You Should Know:
Growth stocks are generally more sensitive to market movements than value stocks. Small-cap stocks are generally more volatile than the market.

In emerging markets these risks can be significant. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
The financial markets rode a roller coaster throughout the six months ended March 31, 2009. Against a backdrop of worsening news about the capital markets and the economy, equity prices fell during the final quarter of 2008 and the first two months of 2009. But they abruptly shifted direction in March, when low price levels and nascent signs of stabilization – or at least slowing rates of economic decline – began to raise investors’ appetite for risk. Unfortunately, the stock market’s gains in March were insufficient to offset the losses of the previous five months.
In this environment, we focused on high-quality stocks and maintained a defensive posture in most sectors. Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Research Fund produced a total return of -27.46% at net asset value for the six months ended March 31, 2009, with $0.05 in reinvested dividends. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned -30.54%. Over the same six months, the average return of funds in Morningstar’s Large Growth category was -26.80%.
WHAT STRATEGIES HELPED THE FUND THROUGH THIS PERIOD?
Selections in the energy and industrials sectors proved particularly successful. In energy, we positioned the fund defensively as oil prices declined early in the period by emphasizing large, integrated oil companies and oil service corporations. When oil prices appeared to recover late in the period, we began cautiously increasing weightings in enterprises with greater sensitivity to oil prices, including high-quality exploration and production companies and large-cap oil producers. We also pared back our holdings in oil services companies and in ExxonMobil, a world leader in the energy industry. In the industrials group, we reduced the fund’s exposure to General Electric Company and other commercial aerospace and industrial companies that had been overweight versus the benchmark. This move was positive for the fund when these stocks’ prices faded during the period.
WHICH STOCKS WERE THE STRONGEST CONTRIBUTORS?
Two retailers, Kohl’s Corp. and Nordstrom Inc., and technology corporation NVIDIA Corp. were among the top performers during the six months. Kohl’s gained as strong inventory controls improved its competitive position, while Nordstrom raised its projections for earnings in 2009. NVIDIA, a leader in producing semiconductors for graphics applications, outpaced the broader technology sector when excess inventories were reduced and investors focused on stocks of companies with improving prospects in a cyclical recovery.
WHICH STOCKS HURT PERFORMANCE?
The fund’s selections in consumer staples and telecommunication services held back returns. In the staples group, our emphasis on international companies produced disappointing results as business conditions deteriorated overseas at a faster pace than anticipated, while the strengthening U.S. dollar eroded profits from foreign operations. Stocks of the telecom companies we selected were only modestly sensitive to economic cycles, but this proved to be a disadvantage in the first quarter of 2009, when investors began moving to companies with the potential to improve earnings in a cyclical resurgence. Banks, diversified financial corporations and life insurers were weak. The poorest performing individual holdings included three financial companies: Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co. and Metlife Inc. We eliminated the fund’s position in Bank of America.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD?
The inevitable question at this juncture is whether the recent rally was just a breather or the start of a new trend. We are encouraged by recent economic data that suggest the economy may be bottoming, at least for some of the hardest-hit sectors, but the bottoming process never runs smoothly.
In general, we prefer not to predict the timing of market cycles. We are watching for confirmation that the rate of economic decline is indeed slowing, that the housing market is bottoming, the credit markets improving, and indications that financial institutions are truly on their way to being recapitalized.

The restatement of the fund’s performance to reflect Class A, Class B, and Class C expenses is based on the net expenses of the Class after taking into effect the fund’s then current expense cap arrangements. Class Y performance includes performance of the prior Institutional Class shares, which were redesignated as Class Y shares on 9/12/03. Institutional Class performance has been restated to reflect the net expenses of Class Y after taking into account the fund’s then current expense cap arrangements. The growth of $10,000 chart compares the performance of Class A shares, at net asset value, to the performance of Class A shares including the maximum sales charge of 5.75%. This chart reflects the performance of Class A shares rather than Class Y shares because Class A shares have the highest sales charge. Prior to 9/12/03, the fund was offered without a sales charge. |
2 | Does not include a sales charge. |
3 | Includes maximum sales charge of 5.75%. |
4 | Performance for Class B shares assumes a maximum of 5% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares, which declines annually between years 1-6 according to the following schedule: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0%. Class C shares performance assumes a 1% CDSC applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase. |

What You Should Know:
While the fund offers potential for long-term capital growth, it invests in value stocks, which can fall out of favor with investors and may underperform growth stocks during certain market conditions. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
The equity market roller coaster ride that began last fall continued into the first quarter of 2009. January and February brought steep declines in stock prices, so that most investors were numb by the time March rolled in. As often happens when the situation looks bleakest, a ray of sunshine emerged. Nascent signs of stabilization, or at least slower rates of decline in some sectors, coupled with low valuation levels, encouraged some investors to put money to work, which led to an improving market in March. However, for the quarter and the six months ended March 31, 2009, both the S&P 500 and the Russell 1000 indexes were down.
Although Loomis Sayles Value Fund shared the market’s pain, good stock selection in key sectors helped the fund hold up better than its benchmark and its Morningstar peer group. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, Class A shares of the fund returned -30.14% at net asset value, including reinvestment of $0.21 in dividends. The fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned -35.22%, while the average return on the funds in Morningstar’s Large Value category was -31.51%.
WHICH STRATEGIES SUPPORTED FUND PERFORMANCE?
Selections in healthcare and energy helped the fund’s relative performance. As oil prices tumbled from record highs, we gradually reduced the fund’s focus on integrated oil companies like ExxonMobil, which experienced weak demand for refined products during the downturn. At the same time we added to holdings in exploration and production companies and large-cap oil producers in an effort to capitalize on what we see as a possible energy price rebound in an economic recovery.
Stock selection was of particular benefit in healthcare, which has long been viewed as a defensive sector during difficult times. The pharmaceutical industry, which is well financed and needs no government assistance, has been consolidating through mergers, two of which benefited the fund. Schering-Plough agreed to be acquired by Merck on very favorable terms, while Wyeth rose when it agreed to be acquired by Pfizer. Bristol-Myers Squibb also contributed positively, thanks to solid operating results, an attractive dividend and a competitor’s difficulties in bringing an important product to market.
WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM RESULTS?
The period’s worst performers were in the volatile banking sector. Slack business conditions, frozen lending markets and fears over possible nationalization slashed valuations on several banking issues, including Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase, although both issues staged modest comebacks late in the period. We sold Bank of America. General Electric (GE) was a significant detractor due to the impact of credit-crisis concerns on its financial segment. GE’s industrial businesses were also weak, reflecting the deteriorating economy. Results among utilities were also disappointing, due in part to some of our allocations within the sector. Utilities carry a low risk profile and we believe their currently attractive dividend yields should have a positive impact on the price of the stocks over time.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD?
Our policy is to apply intensive, bottom-up research in choosing stocks, emphasizing firms with solid balance sheets, strong cash flows and market valuations that represent discounts to our assessment of their intrinsic worth. We believe companies meeting these criteria have the capacity to capture market share and may be able to make acquisitions at reasonable prices.
Even though the market environment improved in March, it remains to be seen whether the rally was an interruption of an ongoing bear market or the beginning of a sustainable uptrend. We believe that recent economic data suggest that a bottoming process may be underway in some of the economy’s hardest hit sectors. Uncertainty and volatile markets historically have provided investment opportunities for those who do their homework. Bear in mind that historically the stock market has tended to be a forward-looking economic indicator, recovering before the bad news ends.

PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
The charts comparing the fund’s performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed. The fund’s total return for the period shown below appears with and without sales charges and includes fund expenses and fees. An index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged and does not have expenses that affect the results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Investors would incur transaction costs and other expenses if they purchased the securities necessary to match the index.

NOTES TO CHARTS
See page 11 for a description of the indexes.
1 | Returns shown in the chart include performance of the fund’s Retail Class shares, which were redesignated to Class A shares on 6/1/07. Performance has been restated to reflect the current sales load of Class A shares. For periods before the inception of Retail Class shares (6/30/06), performance shown for Class A has been based on the performance of the fund’s Institutional Class shares, adjusted to reflect the higher fees and expenses paid by Class A shares. The restatement of the fund’s performance to reflect Class A expenses is based on the net expenses of the Class after taking into effect the fund’s then current expense cap arrangements. For periods prior to the inception of Class B and Class C shares (6/1/07), performance is based on prior Institutional Class performance, restated to reflect the sales loads and expenses of Class B and Class C shares, respectively. The growth of $10,000 chart compares the performance of Class A shares, at net asset value, to the performance of Class A shares including the maximum sales charge of 5.75%. This chart reflects the performance of Class A Shares rather than Class Y shares because Class A shares have the highest sales charge. Prior to 6/1/07, the fund was offered without a sales charge. |

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different types of costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, certain exchange fees, and minimum account fee charges; and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. In addition, each fund may assess a minimum balance fee of $20 on an annual basis for accounts that fall below the required minimum to establish an account (certain exceptions may apply). These costs are described in more detail in the funds’ prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first line in the table for each class shows the actual amount of fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from October 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During the Period row as shown below for your class.
The second line in the table for each class 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. Therefore, the second line in the table of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to certain equity funds of the Trust; the financial statements for the remaining equity funds and the fixed income funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Loomis Sayles Global Markets Fund (the “Global Markets Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Mid Cap Growth Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Research Fund (the “Research Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Value Fund (the “Value Fund”)
Each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the Prospectus.
Effective February 2, 2009, the Mid Cap Growth Fund redesignated its Retail Class and Institutional Class shares as Class A and Class Y shares, respectively. In addition, on February 2, 2009, the Mid Cap Growth Fund began offering Class C shares.
Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, but pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for eight years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares), and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if those shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares and pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year. Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or distribution fees. Class Y shares are generally intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Funds’ Prospectus.
Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which can not be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trust. Expenses of a fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees applicable to such class). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a fund if the fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate dividends 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 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.
a. Valuation. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Forward foreign currency contracts are “marked-to-market” daily using interpolated prices determined by an independent pricing service. Domestic exchange-traded single equity option contracts are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations. Exchange-traded index options and foreign exchange-traded single equity options are valued at the average of the closing bid and asked quotations. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.
The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are
49
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values. As of March 31, 2009, approximately 14% of the market value of the Global Markets Fund’s investments was fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
Each Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of expropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the prices of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge a Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. 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.
e. Option Contracts. The Funds may enter into option contracts. An option contract is a contract in which the writer of the option grants the buyer of the option the right to purchase from (call option) or sell to (put option) the writer a designated instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time.
When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value until the option expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. When a written option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the 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. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the equity underlying the written option.
When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked to market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.

f. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examination (tax years ended September 30, 2005-2008) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund 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 taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable, and are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
g. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as net operating losses, distribution redesignations, capital gain taxes, paydown adjustments, capital loss carryforwards permanently lost due to a merger, wash sales and deferred trustee fees inherited in a merger, foreign currency transactions, gains realized from passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”) and premium amortization accruals. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, forward contracts mark to market, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustment, wash sales, unrealized gains on PFICs, premium amortization accruals and defaulted bond interest. 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 September 30, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | 2008 Distributions Paid From: |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
Global Markets Fund | | $ | 9,975,891 | | $ | 5,031,317 | | $ | 15,007,208 |
Growth Fund | | | — | | | — | | | — |
Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | — | | | — | | | — |
Research Fund | | | 1,651,307 | | | 1,693,530 | | | 3,344,837 |
Value Fund | | | 6,455,247 | | | 6,148,525 | | | 12,603,772 |
Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, if any, are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
* A significant portion of the Loomis Sayles Growth Fund’s carryforward losses are a result of prior year mergers; therefore, utilization of these losses has been limited under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
h. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% 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. It is each Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. 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.
i. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (��State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds 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.
As of March 31, 2009, there were no securities on loan.
j. Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
k. New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
3. Fair Value Measurements. The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; |
| • | | Level 2 — prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and would be based on the best information available). |

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
4. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. government/agency securities and including paydowns) were as follows:

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distributors has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds agreed to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediaries (which generally is a percentage of the value of shares held) not exceeding what the Funds would have paid its transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediaries.

Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically.

he or she attends in person and $3,125 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 the Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each Fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, net depreciation in the value of participants’ deferral accounts has been included in Miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations, as follows:
| | | |
Fund | | Amount |
Global Markets Fund | | $ | 7,404 |
Growth Fund | | | 14,303 |
Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | 7,337 |

6. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% 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.
Prior to March 11, 2009, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participated in the line of credit.

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, primarily due to strong stock selection in the technology, utilities, producer durables and energy sectors. In addition, an overweight position in technology helped relative performance.
Throughout the six-month period, we shifted allocations in an effort to adapt the Fund to the current market environment. In particular, we increased the Fund’s technology weighting in anticipation of an improving economic environment in the second half of 2009. Many technology stocks were priced in anticipation of a worst-case scenario. This gave us the opportunity to buy stocks of companies with strong balance sheets and excellent fundamentals at reduced prices. NetLogic Microsystems, a semiconductor company, was one of the Fund’s top performing stocks, advancing with the semiconductor industry’s inventory re-build cycle.
In the utilities sector, we added exposure to the telecommunication services industry as fundamentals improved. Neutral Tandem Inc. was the industry’s top performer, reporting solid earnings in January and providing better-than-expected guidance driven by higher-than-forecasted billed minutes.
Additional allocation changes included reducing our health care weighting in search of more growth-oriented names. Health care had a negative impact on the portfolio as a result of poor performance from a handful of holdings. We also trimmed the Fund’s materials and processing exposure, waiting for economic conditions to improve. The sector detracted from Fund performance, primarily due to disappointing results from Hill International, a construction consulting firm that declined
as the construction industry continued to struggle. Hill International was sold.
Consumer staples was one of the few sectors in the Fund that had a positive absolute return for the period. On a relative basis, our stock selection within this sector was helpful. However, the Fund’s holdings in the consumer discretionary sector were among the largest detractors to performance, reflecting poor stock selection and an underweight position.
OUTLOOK
With the market rallying in the final weeks of the quarter, there are many reasons to believe that the worst is behind us. There is an unprecedented amount of stimulus being pumped into the global economy, the credit markets are starting to thaw, financial companies’ balance sheets are being repaired and consumer companies are reporting news that matters are not as dire as feared. It is our belief that we are more than half way through the recession and we’ve seen the lows in the market. However, we think the market’s strength will be retested. With this as a backdrop, we expect new leadership to emerge in the market and we are structuring the portfolio for this scenario, in pursuit of strong results over the long term.

Returns do not reflect the taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. Periods of less than one year are not annualized. Performance data reflects certain fee reductions and reimbursements, if any, without which performance would be lower.
(a) Cumulative performance is shown for the Institutional Class of Shares. Performance of the Retail Class would be lower due to higher fees. (b) The mountain chart is based on the initial investment minimum of $100,000 for the Institutional Class. (c) See page 5 for a description of the Indices.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than larger, more established companies. The secondary market for these stocks may be less liquid, which could adversely impact the Fund’s value. Growth funds involve increased risks, in part, because the value of the underlying securities is based on future expectations that may or may not be met.
The Fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The Fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a Fund’s investments to decline. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to stock selection in the financial services and consumer discretionary sectors.
Financial services, the largest sector in the Fund and the Benchmark, was one of the weakest performing sectors in the market. Our cautious view of the fundamentals of bank stocks and our significant weighting in non-credit-sensitive financial data service companies resulted in exceptionally strong stock selection and significant outperformance relative to the Benchmark. Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc., a provider of trade processing and investor communication services to the financial services industry, was the Fund’s top performer for the period. The company’s stable business model was a key attraction for investors during the recent market upheaval. PHH Corp., an outsource provider of mortgage services and vehicle fleet management, was another top performer.
Although consumer discretionary was another weak sector in the market for the six-month period, the Fund’s consumer holdings emphasized less-cyclical companies, such as services companies and discount stores, which held up reasonably well during the market downturn. In addition, we made timely additions to the restaurant industry just before the stocks rebounded in March.
Technology was among the Fund’s weakest sectors for the period, primarily due to our holdings in semiconductors and electronics, which declined sharply on weakened demand and reduced earnings estimates. Health care also performed poorly, as reimbursement and regulatory concerns lead to negative earnings estimates and lower valuations throughout the sector.
Substantial volatility during the period provided opportunities to add to certain sectors and reduce others. With economic prospects declining, we actively reduced or eliminated several of our most economically sensitive holdings in the basic materials and energy sectors, replacing them with less-cyclical consumer staples and utility stocks. Throughout the period, we selectively added to financial services stocks, while maintaining an underweight relative to the Benchmark. We also reduced our health care exposure, due to mounting reimbursement and regulatory uncertainty stemming from November’s election results.
OUTLOOK
In light of the stock market rally in the March 2009, the inevitable question is whether the recent rally is a breather or the start of a new trend. The stock market is often considered a forward-looking indicator, and historically it has recovered before all the negative economic news dissipated. Indeed, we are encouraged by recent economic data that suggest the economy may be bottoming, at least for some of the hardest hit sectors. However, we recognize that market bottoms never progress evenly. Nevertheless, bumpy scenarios historically have often provided investment opportunities for those who do their homework.

Small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than larger, more established companies. The secondary market for these stocks may be less liquid, which could adversely impact the Fund’s value.
The Fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The Fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a Fund’s investments to decline.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and certain exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other Fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in the Funds’ prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first line in the table of each Fund shows the actual amount of Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from October 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During the Period column as shown below for your class.
The second line in the table of each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
5
Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds 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 Trusts in multiple series. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to certain equity funds of the Trusts; the financial statements for the remaining equity funds and the fixed income 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 I:
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Funds II:
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”)
Each Fund offers Institutional Class Shares and Retail Class Shares. In addition, Small Cap Value Fund offers Admin Class Shares.
Most expenses of the Trusts can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trusts. Expenses of a fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees applicable to such class). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a fund if the fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate dividends 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 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.
a. Valuation. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Forward foreign currency contracts are “marked-to-market” daily utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.
The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.
b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income
25
is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. 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. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
Each Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of expropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the price of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies and may also be used for hedging purposes. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. 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.
At March 31, 2009, there were no open forward foreign currency contracts.
e. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. Each Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examination (tax years ended September 30, 2005-2008) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund 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 taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also
26
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued
March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable, and are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
f. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as distributions from REITs, foreign currency transactions and net operating losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustment, deferred Trustees’ fees, REIT basis adjustments and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | 2008 Distributions Paid From: |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 16,873,484 | | | 91,300,786 | | | 108,174,270 |
Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, if any, are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.
As of September 30, 2008, capital loss carryforwards and post-October losses were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Capital loss carryforward: | | Small Cap Growth Fund | | | Small Cap Value Fund | |
Expires September 30, 2010 | | $ | (138,314,515 | ) | | $ | — | |
Expires September 30, 2011 | | | (59,283,040 | ) | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | (197,597,555 | ) | | $ | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
Deferred net capital losses (post-October 2007) | | $ | (7,364,469 | ) | | $ | (47,743,728 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
g. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The 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.
h. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds 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.
As of March 31, 2009, there were no securities on loan.
27
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.
j. New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
3. Fair Value Measurements. The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; |
| • | | Level 2—prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments 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 March 31, 2009:
Small Cap Growth Fund
| | | |
Valuation Inputs | | Investments in Securities |
Level 1 – Quoted Prices | | $ | 79,621,848 |

| | | |
Total | | $ | 692,271,754 |
| | | |
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
4. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | Purchases | | Sales |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 50,712,748 | | $ | 53,755,781 |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 218,290,842 | | | 249,613,897 |

5. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
a. Management Fees. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to each Fund. Under the terms of the management agreements, each Fund pays a management fee at the following annual rates, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | |
Fund | | Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | 0.75% |
Small Cap Value Fund | | 0.75% |
Loomis Sayles has given binding undertakings to the Funds to reduce management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses associated with the Funds to limit their operating expenses, exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses. These undertakings are in effect until January 31, 2010 and will be reevaluated on an annual basis. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreements were as follows:
| | | | | | |

Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreement (whether through reduction of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such reduced fees/expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee/expense was reduced. The amounts subject to possible recovery under the expense limitation agreements at March 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Expenses Subject to Possible Recovery Until September 30, 2009 |

(“Natixis US”), which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.
29
b. Administrative Fees. Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Funds and subcontracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. Natixis Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust III, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Natixis Cash Management Trust, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), Hansberger International Series and Natixis Advisors, each Fund pays Natixis Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0425% of the next $30 billion and 0.0375% of such assets in excess of $60 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis. New funds are subject to a fee for the first twelve months of operations of $75,000 plus $12,500 per class and an additional $75,000 if managed by multiple subadvisors.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, each Fund paid the following for administrative fees to Natixis Advisors:
| | | |
Fund | | Administrative Fees |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 22,403 |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 192,274 |
c. Service and Distribution Fees. Natixis Distributors, L.P. (“Natixis Distributors”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Natixis US, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trusts. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distributors serves as principal underwriter of each Fund.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Small Cap Growth Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund have adopted a Distribution Plan relating to their Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plans”) and the Small Cap Value Fund has adopted a separate Distribution Plan relating to its Admin Class shares (the “Admin Class Plan”).
Under the respective Retail Class and Admin Class Plans, each Fund pays Natixis Distributors a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Retail Class and Admin Class Shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Natixis Distributors in providing personal services to investors in Retail Class and Admin Class Shares and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Small Cap Value Fund may pay an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares, to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal service and account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Funds paid the following service and distribution fees:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Service Fees | | Distribution Fees |
Fund | | Admin Class | | Retail Class | | Admin Class |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | — | | $ | 68,684 | | $ | — |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 68,523 | | | 394,212 | | | 68,523 |
d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distributors has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds agreed to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediaries (which generally is a percentage of the value of shares held) not exceeding what the Funds would have paid its transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediaries. Natixis Distributors pays the remainder of the fees. Listed below are the fees incurred by the Funds which are included in the transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Sub-Transfer Agent Fees |
Fund | | Institutional Class | | Retail Class | | Admin Class |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 8,531 | | $ | 26,518 | | $ | — |

e. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Funds do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US, or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 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 the Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each Fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, net depreciation in the value of participants’ deferral accounts has been included in Miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations, as follows:
| | | |
Fund | | Amount |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 8,037 |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 14,867 |
f. Redemption Fees. Shareholders of Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund are charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeem, including redeeming by exchange, any class of shares of such Funds within 60 days of their acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee is intended to offset the costs to the Funds of short-term trading, such as portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The redemption fee is deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and is paid to the Fund.
The “first-in, first-out” method is used to determine the holding period of redeemed or exchanged shares, which means that if a shareholder acquired shares on different days, the shares acquired first will be redeemed or exchanged first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies. A new holding period begins with each purchase or exchange. These fees are accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
On March 27, 2009, the Trustees approved the elimination of redemption fees on Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund effective June 1, 2009.
6. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% 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.
Prior to March 11, 2009, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participated in the line of credit. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
31
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.
7. Brokerage Commission Recapture. Each Fund has entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. All amounts rebated by the brokers are returned to the Funds under such agreements and are included in realized gains in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:
| | | |
Fund | | Rebates |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 9,340 |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 38,679 |
8. Shareholders. At March 31, 2009, the Loomis Sayles Funded Pension Plan and the Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held Institutional Class shares of beneficial interest in the Funds as follows:

LOOMIS SAYLES INVESTMENT GRADE BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO PROFILE
Objective:
High total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation
Strategy:
Invests primarily in investment-grade, fixed-income securities, although it may invest up to 10% of its assets in lower quality fixed-income securities. The fund may invest any portion of its assets in securities of Canadian issuers and up to 20% in other foreign securities, including emerging markets.
Fund Inception:
December 31, 1996

Class J | | LIGJX |
What You Should Know:
This fund invests in fixed-income securities that are subject to credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. It may also invest in mortgage-related securities that are subject to prepayment risk. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a fund’s investments to decline. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
Faced with growing weakness in the global economy, bond investors continued to favor higher-quality issues during the six months ended March 31, 2009, driving up prices of U.S. Treasuries and other high-quality securities. Corporate bonds continued to slump, although the market’s acceptance of risk appeared to increase modestly late in the period. Meanwhile, investors trimmed positions in currencies with heavy exposure to commodities, which helped strengthen the U.S. dollar at the end of 2008.
In a difficult climate for companies exposed to credit risk, the total return on Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund was -4.16% at net asset value for the six months ended March 31, 2009. Returns included $0.30 in dividends and $0.13 in capital gains reinvested during the period. The fund underperformed the 5.06% return of its benchmark, Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Index, and the -0.49% average return of the funds in Morningstar’s Intermediate-Term Bond Category. The fund’s 30-day SEC yield as of March 31, 2009 was 6.51%.
WHAT CAUSED THE FUND TO UNDERPERFORM THE BENCHMARK?
Security selection, primarily in industrial bonds, was the primary cause of the fund’s underperformance. As the global economy reeled, the acknowledgement of recession and increasing liquidity fears drove already battered investment-grade issues in manufacturing, retail and auto-related industries even lower. High-yield issues did not fare any better. The fund’s high-yield bonds issued by companies in manufacturing, home building, airlines and auto-related industries hurt performance. Its exposure to commodity-linked currencies also hurt performance, especially in the closing weeks of 2008 when currencies of such countries as Canada, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand and Brazil weakened relative to the U.S. dollar. While there was a shift in these markets early in 2009, the fund’s gains could not make up for prior losses.
WHICH STRATEGIES BENEFITED THE FUND?
Investors’ widespread aversion to risk led to solid relative performance from the fund’s longer-maturity government agency and government-related securities. We maintained a longer-than-benchmark duration throughout the six-month period, which generally helped performance when prices of Treasuries and other high-quality securities rose in value as yields declined. The fund’s exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities also contributed positively. These securities benefited from rising demand in response to government stimulus programs. Similarly, the fund’s investment-grade bonds in the financial sector were positive contributors after the U.S. Treasury department introduced new lending programs at the end of 2008. Higher-quality issues in banking and finance were the early leaders, with brokerage companies providing a boost later in the period.
The federal government’s stimulus programs, especially in their most recent versions, appeared to reduce investors’ concerns that the global economy would enter an extended recession. New programs, such as the Targeted Asset Loan Fund (TALF) and the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP), have raised the prospect of increasing support for banks and the securities markets, despite concerns about the long-term cost of these measures.
WHAT’S AHEAD?
We believe high-yield issues will continue to be volatile, as defaults continue to increase over the course of the year. We remain underweight in the CCC-rated portion of the market, as we believe most defaults will come from this space. We believe investment-grade credit continues to offer strong relative value, as spreads remain at relatively wide levels. As the markets grow more convinced the global recovery has taken hold, we eventually expect to see more demand for riskier assets, such as high-yield and investment-grade credit, as well as commodity currencies.

PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE
The charts comparing the fund’s performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed. The fund’s total return for the period shown below appears with and without sales charges and includes fund expenses and fees. An index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged and does not have expenses that affect the results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Investors would incur transaction costs and other expenses if they purchased the securities necessary to match the index.

NOTES TO CHARTS
The table and graph do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares.
1 | Returns shown in the chart include performance of the fund’s Retail Class shares, which were converted to Class A shares on 9/12/03. The prior Retail Class performance has been restated to reflect the expenses and sales loads of Class A shares. Retail Class was closed on 12/18/00 and recommenced operations on 1/31/02; Institutional Class performance is shown for the intervening period, adjusted to reflect the expenses and sales loads paid by Class A shares. The restatement of the fund’s performance to reflect Class A expenses is based on the net expenses of the Class after taking into effect the fund’s then current expense cap arrangements. For periods prior to the inception of Class B and Class C shares (9/12/03), performance is based on prior Institutional Class performance, restated to reflect the sales loads and expenses of Class B and Class C shares. Institutional Class became Class Y on 9/12/03. Institutional Class performance has been restated to reflect the expenses of Class Y shares after taking into effect Class Y’s then current expense cap arrangements. For periods prior to the inception of Class J Shares (5/24/99), performance is based on prior Institutional Class performance, restated to reflect the sales loads and expenses of Class J shares. The growth of $10,000 chart compares the performance of Class A shares at net asset value, to the performance of Class A shares including the maximum sales charge of 4.50%. This chart reflects the performance of Class A shares rather than Class Y shares because Class A shares have the highest sales charge. Prior to 9/12/03, the fund (except Class J) was offered without a sales charge. |
2 | Does not include a sales charge. |
3 | Includes maximum sales charge of 4.50%. |
4 | Fund performance has been increased by expense reductions and reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower. |
5 | Performance for Class B shares assumes a maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares, which declines annually between years 1-6 according to the following schedule: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0%. Class C shares performance assumes a 1% CDSC applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase. Performance for Class J assumes a 3.50% sales charge. |
6 | Before reductions and reimbursements. |
7 | After reductions and reimbursements. Expense reductions are contractual and are set to expire on 1/31/10. |

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different types of costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; certain exchange fees; and minimum account fee charges; and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees) and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. In addition, the fund may assess a minimum balance fee of $20 on an annual basis for accounts that fall below the required minimum to establish an account (certain exceptions may apply). These costs are described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first line in the table for each Class shows the actual amount of fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from October 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 =8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During the Period row as shown below for your class.
The second line in the table for each Class 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. Therefore, the second line in the table of the fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund (the “Fund” or the “Investment Grade Bond Fund”); the financial statements for the remaining fixed income funds and the equity funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class J shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the Fund’s Prospectus.
Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, but pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for eight years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares) and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if those shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other Class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year. Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Y shares are generally intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund’s Prospectus. Class J shares are only offered to non-U.S. investors and are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.50%.
Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which can not be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trust. Expenses of the Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees, registration, legal, shareholder reporting and transfer agent fees applicable to such class). 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 dividends from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund’s financial statements 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.
a. Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Forward foreign currency contracts are “marked-to-market” daily utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.
The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.
b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
The Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of expropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the prices of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies and may also be used for hedging purposes. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. 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. At March 31, 2009, there were no open forward foreign currency contracts.
e. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examination (tax years ended September 30, 2005-2008) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable, and are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
f. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as foreign currency transactions, paydown adjustments and premium amortization accruals. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to premium amortization accruals, deferred Trustees’ fees, forward contracts mark-to-market, defaulted bond accruals, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustments and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | |
2008 Distributions Paid From: |
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
$190,838,658 | | $ | — | | $ | 190,838,658 |
Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, if any, are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

g. Repurchase Agreements. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% 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. It is the Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. 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.
h. Securities Lending. The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent.
As of March 31, 2009 there were no securities on loan.
i. Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
j. New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about a fund’s derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
3. Fair Value Measurements. The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; |
| • | | Level 2 — prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments 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 Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2009:
| | | |
Valuation Inputs | | Investments in Securities |
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | | $ | 330,939,191 |
Level 2 — Other Significant Observable Inputs | | | 5,184,824,348 |
Level 3 — Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | 249,147,236 |

(a) Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments within the Statement of Operations.
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
4. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. government/agency securities and including paydowns) were $2,142,907,033 and $285,176,734, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. government/agency securities (excluding short-term investments and including paydowns) were $0 and $11,324, respectively.
5. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
a. Management Fees. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to the Fund. Under the terms of the management agreement, the Fund pays a management fee at the annual rate of 0.40% of average daily net assets, calculated daily and payable monthly.
Loomis Sayles has given a binding undertaking to the Fund to reduce management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses associated with the Fund to limit its operating expenses, exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses. This undertaking is in effect until January 31, 2010 and will be reevaluated on an annual basis. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreement were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets |
Class A | | Class B | | Class C | | Class Y | | Class J |
0.95% | | 1.70% | | 1.70% | | 0.55% | | 1.30% |
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the management fees for the Fund were $9,482,169 (0.40% of average daily net assets).
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, class specific expenses have been reimbursed in the amount of $1,848.
Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreement (whether through reduction of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such reduced fees/expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee/expense was reduced. The amounts subject to possible recovery under the expense limitation agreements at March 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expenses Subject to Possible Recovery until September 30, 2010 |

New funds are subject to a fee for the first twelve months of operations of $75,000 plus $12,500 per class and an additional $75,000 if managed by multiple subadvisors.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund paid $1,211,864 in administrative fees to Natixis Advisors.
c. Service and Distribution Fees. Natixis Distributors, L.P. (“Natixis Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trust. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distributors serves as principal underwriter of the Fund, except Class J shares of the Fund. The Fund has entered into a distribution agreement relating to Class J shares with Loomis Sayles Distributors, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class A shares (the “Class A Plan”) and a Distribution and Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class B and Class C shares (the “Class B and Class C Plans”).
Under the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Natixis Distributors a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class A shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Natixis Distributors in providing personal services to investors in Class A shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
Under the Class B and Class C Plans, the Fund pays Natixis Distributors a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class B and Class C shares, as compensation for services provided and expenses incurred by Natixis Distributors in providing personal services to investors in Class B and Class C shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
Also under the Class B and Class C Plans, the Fund pays Natixis Distributors a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class B and Class C shares, as compensation for services provided and expenses incurred by Natixis Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Class B and Class C shares.
Class J shares are subject to a monthly shareholder service fee at an annual rate of 0.25% and a monthly distribution fee, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class J shares, both payable to Loomis Sayles Distributors, pursuant to a shareholder service and distribution plan adopted under Rule 12b-1.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009 the Fund paid the following service and distribution fees:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Service Fees | | Distribution Fees |
Class A | | Class B | | Class C | | Class J | | Class B | | Class C | | Class J |

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distributors has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Fund if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Fund’s transfer agent. Accordingly, the Fund agreed to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by intermediaries (which generally are a percentage of the value of shares held) not exceeding what the Fund would have paid its transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediaries. Natixis Distributors pays the remainder of the fees. Listed below are the fees incurred by the Fund which are reflected in the transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

e. Commissions. The Fund has been informed that commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by Natixis Distributors were $3,797,742 and commissions on Fund shares retained by Loomis Sayles Distributors by investors in Class J shares of the Fund were $53,597 for the six months ended March 31, 2009.
f. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Fund does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US, or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 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 the Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Line of Credit. The Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR rate, plus 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% 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.
Prior to March 11, 2009, the Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participated in the line of credit. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund had no borrowings under these agreements.
7. Shareholders. At March 31, 2009, the Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held 519,562 shares of beneficial interest of Class Y shares.
