What You Should Know:
Investments in the Fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the Fund’s prospectus. The purchase of Fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.
Market Conditions
Sentiment in the domestic fixed-income markets remained healthy despite disruptions abroad – including financial disturbances in Europe, civil unrest in the Middle East and the massive earthquake and nuclear crisis in Japan. Improving economic growth prospects in the United States encouraged the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) to maintain its commitment to a low-interest-rate policy. The resulting environment sent investors in search of higher yields, causing interest rates in the United States to rise, on average. As investors intensified their search for income, sectors that offered a yield advantage over Treasuries benefited from steady demand. The best performers were higher-yielding issues, including investment-grade bonds and mortgage-backed securities (MBS).
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund returned 1.11% at net asset value. For the same period, the fund’s benchmark, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -0.88%, while the average return of funds in Morningstar’s Intermediate-Term Bond category was 0.12%.
Explanation of Fund Performance
An emphasis on corporate bonds and an underweight relative to the benchmark in U.S. Treasuries aided the fund’s performance. These positions more than offset the impact of the fund’s longer duration (a measure of interest rate sensitivity), which detracted from performance as interest rates rose, and its below-benchmark exposure to MBS, which outperformed during the period.
Strong security selection and sector allocation among corporate bonds were the primary drivers of the fund’s standout performance relative to its benchmark. Exposure to high-yield securities, which are not part of the benchmark, was especially positive. In particular, the fund’s holdings of cyclical industrial high-yield bonds, which were positioned to benefit from global economic recovery, did well. We trimmed securities that had outperformed and added to well-financed issuers with solid balance sheets and leading market positions. In February, we reduced the fund’s near maximum allocation to high yield and swapped the proceeds into Treasuries. However, we moved back into the sector in March after riskier assets sold off in response to problems in Japan’s markets. In addition, we favored investment-grade bonds rated A and BBB, focusing on securities that we believed offered the best value. Here too, we harvested gains when we thought the securities had fully recovered in price.
Throughout the six-month period, the fund maintained its focus on higher- quality commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). We added to holdings, taking advantage of a brief sell-off that made the sector even more attractive. The fund also had more exposure than the benchmark to asset-backed securities (ABS), which aided performance. During the period, we added to higher-quality, shorter-term loans. And, we raised exposure to MBS after the Fed announced that it would unwind its MBS portfolio over time.
To position the fund more defensively, we sold the remainder of the fund’s exposure to foreign currencies, swapping proceeds into higher-coupon MBS. Late in March, 2011, we also initiated a short position in the euro, to express our bearish view of the currency (and a more constructive view on the dollar) and to hedge the overall risk in the portfolio.
Outlook
We believe the portfolio is well positioned for a longer-term recovery in the U.S. and global markets. Our goal is to maintain sufficient flexibility to move in and out of markets to maintain the fund’s yield advantage and to execute tactical and opportunistic trades. In this regard, we plan to maintain the fund’s underweight relative to the benchmark in government securities and overweight in the investment-grade, high-yield and CMBS markets. We also plan to maintain the fund’s “barbell” configuration, emphasizing both longer- and shorter-term securities. Given current market conditions and increasing volatility, we may take steps to become more defensive by shortening the fund’s duration later in the year.

What You Should Know:
Investments in the Fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the Fund’s prospectus. The purchase of Fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.
Market Conditions
A gradual improvement in the global economy, stronger corporate balance sheets and improvements in the U.S. labor market boosted investor confidence during the six months ended March 31, 2011. The positive environment helped stimulate optimism in both the fixed-income and equity markets. As money flowed freely, debt issuers continued to refinance old lines of credit at increasingly beneficial terms, while investors reached for yield in a continuing environment of low interest rates. However, political upheavals in the Middle East and Northern Africa and banking sector troubles in Europe unsettled foreign debt markets, adding to volatility. At the same time, a massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan caused damage to that country’s infrastructure bringing concerns that Japan, one of the largest holders of U.S. Treasury securities, might liquidate positions to fund reconstruction and short-term operations. In this environment, high-yield bonds generally outperformed investment-grade bonds.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles High Income Fund returned 8.23% at net asset value. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, which returned 7.23%. The fund also outperformed the 7.34% average return of funds in its peer group, the Morningstar High Yield Bond category.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Strong security selection and allocations to some issues not in the benchmark helped the fund outperform. Although quality-based returns were mixed, high-yield credits tended to outperform their investment-grade counterparts. High-yield industrials, utilities and financials continued to provide attractive returns as the economy strengthened and investors grew more comfortable with taking greater risk in pursuit of higher yields. Investments in convertibles and a small position in equities, neither of which is included in the benchmark, also helped boost fund returns higher than the benchmark. These holdings benefited from an equity market rally during the period. In addition, the fund’s exposure to the Australian dollar, as well as the Colombian and Uruguayan pesos, made a positive contribution to performance.
Although investment-grade securities and securities denominated in foreign currencies provided positive returns, the returns they generated were not as strong as the return of the benchmark. The only negative returns came from a small position in U.S. government securities, which lagged as investors embraced risk.
Outlook
Strong liquidity, markets in transition, geopolitical turmoil, continued economic recovery and tragic natural disasters garnered significant attention from market participants during the first quarter of 2011. Many of these themes will continue to dominate investor consciousness going forward. We believe markets remain in transition regarding interest rates, with pressures building both globally and domestically. Globally, growth in many areas of the world remains robust; however, inflation concerns have begun to attract attention. Central banks will likely continue to shift toward less accommodative policy as 2011 progresses. We anticipate the Fed’s program of Treasury purchases in the United States, which is referred to as “QE2” (short for quantitative easing), will end during the second quarter and believe the U.S. economic recovery has sufficient momentum to continue expanding without outsized government stimulus.
Our assessment of the fundamental underpinnings of the corporate sector remains positive. In general, corporations are proceeding conservatively with regard to hiring and capital expenditures. Merger and acquisition activity has increased recently, and we believe there is room for more growth in that space. Valuations in the corporate bond space are generally fair, with investor demand for yield providing support and liquidity to the high-yield, investment-grade and convertible sectors. We continue to position the fund for global economic recovery, as well as a gradual upward bias in interest rates. We continue to emphasize yield advantage, global diversification and specific bond picking within the fund.

What You Should Know:
Investments in the Fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the Fund’s prospectus. The purchase of Fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.
Market Conditions
Riskier sectors produced the best performance in global fixed-income markets for the six months ended March 31, 2011, despite increasing uncertainty created by higher oil prices, turmoil in the Middle East, a major disaster in Japan and growing doubts about some European sovereign debt. Against a backdrop of rising interest rates and strengthening economies, credit-sensitive securities outperformed comparable-duration government securities. (Duration is a measure of interest rate risk.) The returns from lower-quality bonds outpaced results from investments in higher-quality securities. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar declined relative to major foreign currencies.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles International Bond Fund returned 1.98% at net asset value. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate ex-USD Bond Index, which returned 0.44%. The fund also outperformed the 0.25% average return of funds in its peer group, the Morningstar World Bond category.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Good security selection, which resulted in an emphasis on corporate bonds and a de-emphasis on government securities, was generally responsible for the fund’s strong performance relative to its benchmark. Within the corporate bond sector, we focused on companies that were positioned to benefit from a growing economy, such as the technology, communications and banking industries, which helped performance. In addition, the fund had more exposure than the benchmark to lower-tier investment-grade securities, and in higher-yielding, below-investment-grade debt, which also helped support results. As the U.S. dollar drifted lower, an emphasis on developing and non-core currencies (non-U.S. dollar, Japanese yen and euro) gave a further boost to the fund’s relative results. In particular, investments denominated in the currencies of Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico and Singapore helped, as did positions in the currencies of Norway and Sweden, where the fund’s exposure was greater than the index.
Overall, the fund’s defensive interest-rate positioning aided performance as yields rose. However, the fund’s euro positioning slightly dampened results because its duration was longer, on average, than the benchmark. And because the euro appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar, the fund lost some additional ground because it had less exposure to the euro than the benchmark. An emphasis on bonds issued in the United States also hurt the fund’s performance versus the benchmark. As part of our strategy, we traded currency contracts to align the currency exposure of foreign holdings. The trade in these currency-related derivatives had a positive effect on results.
Outlook
While we recognize that there are risks to growth going forward, we remain optimistic that the global economy will continue to expand. As a result, we have favored corporate bonds, although we have reduced exposure to higher interest rates by becoming more defensive with investments in developed markets. In addition, we believe it still makes sense to maintain positions in emerging markets, commodity-linked currencies and in Asian markets other than Japan. We have positioned the portfolio with a focus on Asian currencies, other than the Japanese yen, as we expect central banks in Asia to tighten monetary policy, which should be positive for their currencies. In Europe, we think it is becoming more likely that the European Central Bank will raise short-term interest rates to respond to rising inflationary pressures fueled by higher oil prices. As a consequence, the yield difference between short-term rates in the United States and in Europe should widen, giving support to the value of the euro.
One note of caution, however, is that we expect an increase in volatility in equity markets when the U.S. Federal Reserve Board ends its second round of quantitative easing (QE2), which involves the large-scale purchase of Treasury securities. This could have an impact on credit-sensitive securities in the fixed-income market as well. However, we believe the impact would be relatively minor as long as global growth prospects remain firm.

What You Should Know:
Investments in the Fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the Fund’s prospectus. The purchase of Fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.
Market Conditions
During the six months ended March 31, 2011, sentiment in the domestic bond markets remained relatively healthy, despite many disruptions from overseas – including financial market disturbances in Europe, civil disruption in the Middle East and an earthquake and nuclear crisis in Japan. Even though the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) maintained its commitment to a low-interest-rate policy, improved domestic economic growth prospects nudged U.S. interest rates higher. As yield-hungry investors intensified their search for income, securities that offered a yield advantage over Treasuries benefited from steady demand. The high-yield and investment-grade sectors were the most rewarding segments of the bond market during the period.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund returned 0.51% at net asset value. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index, which returned -0.56%, and the -0.21% average return of the funds in its peer group, the Morningstar Short Government category.
Explanation of Fund Performance
A combination of favorable security selection and sector allocation drove the fund’s performance advantage over its benchmark. The fund’s emphasis on commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and allocations to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) drove excess returns for the fund. The fund had more exposure than the benchmark to CMBS, which were solid performers for the period. Most of the fund’s CMBS holdings were senior securities acquired in 2008 and 2009 when bond prices were severely depressed. Investor demand for yield in the intervening months has driven up the prices of these bonds, and the fund has profited. The fund’s allocations to 15- and 30-year agency MBS outperformed the benchmark by a significant margin. Within ABS, we focused on high-quality loans backed by auto equipment. We believed these bonds offered a yield advantage. This decision was rewarded as investor demand for high-quality bonds at the short end of the yield curve was strong.
Overall, the fund’s interest-rate positioning was neutral for performance. The benefit of the fund’s modestly shorter duration (a measure of interest rate sensitivity) was largely offset by the negative impact of its “barbelled” configuration: We emphasized longer- and shorter-term issues rather than distributing assets in a more balanced fashion across the yield curve. This positioning detracted from performance as long-term yields increased more than short-term yields.
The fund’s emphasis on higher-quality securities hampered performance, as lower-quality securities outperformed. Agency debentures in the fund underperformed those in the benchmark, which also detracted from returns.
Late in the period we added some adjustable-rate securities of government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) to the portfolio, because we expect them to perform well in a stable-to-rising interest-rate environment. GSEs are a group of financial services corporations that were created by Congress to enhance the flow of credit to certain sectors of the market, such as agriculture, home finance and education, and to make these segments more efficient and transparent.
Outlook
We believe that the Fed will continue its current interest-rate policy well into 2011. In the intermediate term, we expect interest rates to rise gradually if modest U.S. economic growth persists. While we believe the mortgage and consumer loan markets will continue to struggle, we think the fund’s holdings offer the potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns. The portfolio remains overweight in CMBS and ABS, and we look for further strength from its GSE holdings. Our strategy will be to continue to emphasize opportunities for income over potential price appreciation.

What You Should Know:
Investments in the Fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the Fund’s prospectus. The purchase of Fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.
Market Conditions
As a fragile economic recovery evolved into steadier growth, investors adopted a more optimistic view of the economy. This optimism prevailed for most of the past six months. Credit markets enjoyed a new wave of liquidity, chiefly by way of new issues. Companies sought to replace older, higher-interest debt, benefiting both high-yield and investment-grade markets.
However, the transition was not without problems. Europe faced renewed sovereign debt concerns. Widespread violence in North Africa and the Middle East brought new bouts of anxiety. In addition, earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand, coming atop China’s efforts to cool its economy, periodically rattled global credit markets, as bond investors grew wary of taking on added risk. The Federal Reserve Board’s (the Fed’s) second round of quantitative easing, known as “QE2,” which involves large-scale purchases of Treasury securities, helped moderate concerns.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund returned 5.95% at net asset value. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned -0.88% over the same period. The fund also outdistanced the 3.30% average return of funds in its peer group, the Morningstar Multisector Bond category.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Security selection, holdings of convertible bonds and preferred securities, non-U.S. dollar-denominated investments and high-yield credit were key contributors to the period’s impressive returns.
The stock market’s vigor meant increased prices for the fund’s equity-sensitive convertible bonds and preferred securities. In Europe, major currencies strengthened in response to favorable euro zone bank stress tests. A weaker U.S. dollar fed strong results for the fund’s holdings denominated in several currencies, notably the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars, as well as the Norwegian krone. Returns were modestly positive for holdings in Asian currencies, including the Indonesian rupiah, the Singapore dollar and South Korean won.
The industrials sector led the way among the fund’s high-yield holdings. The strongest returns came from individual issues in the information technology, communications and consumer non-cyclical industries. The fund also benefited from its exposure to high-yield financials. A below-benchmark commitment to U.S. Treasury obligations added to results, as fixed-income investors sold Treasuries and accepted some risk in pursuit of more satisfactory yields.
By contrast, relative underweights among securities backed by commercial or residential mortgages held back comparative returns as prices rose. Small positions in government-owned securities, where the fund’s long average duration left prices vulnerable to rising rates, also hampered return.
Outlook
Strong liquidity, markets in transition, geopolitical turmoil, continued economic recovery and tragic natural disasters garnered significant attention from market participants during the first quarter of 2011. Many of these themes will continue to dominate investor consciousness going forward. We believe markets remain in transition regarding interest rates, with pressures building both globally and domestically. Globally, growth in many areas of the world remains robust; however, inflation concerns have begun to attract attention. Central banks will likely continue to shift toward less accommodative policy as 2011 progresses. We anticipate the Fed’s program of Treasury purchases in the United States will end during the second quarter and believe the U.S. economic recovery has sufficient momentum to continue expanding without outsized government stimulus.
Our assessment of the fundamental underpinnings of the corporate sector remains positive. In general, corporations are proceeding conservatively with regard to hiring and capital expenditures. Merger and acquisition activity has increased recently, and we believe there is room for more growth in that space. Valuations in the corporate bond space are generally fair, with investor demand for yield providing support and liquidity to the high-yield, investment-grade and convertible sectors. We continue to position the fund for global economic recovery, as well as a gradual upward bias in interest rates. We continue to emphasize yield advantage, global diversification and specific bond picking within the fund.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the funds’ 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, 2010 through March 31, 2011. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
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. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
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. Strategic Income Fund also offers Admin Class 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 C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class 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. Admin Class shares do not pay a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, but do pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries.
Most expenses of the Trusts can be directly attributed to a Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the Funds in the Trusts. Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
a. 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 shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by 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
61 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
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 valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Swap agreements are valued based on prices supplied by a pricing service, if available, or quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. 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.
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 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. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Negative principal adjustments (in the event of deflation) are recorded as reductions of interest income to the extent of interest income earned, not to exceed the amount of positive principal adjustments on a cumulative basis. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in 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 values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross 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 Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund
| 62
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
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. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash or securities as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.
e. Swap Agreements. Each Fund may enter into credit default swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties (the “protection buyer” and “protection seller”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer (“reference obligation”) for a specified time period. The reference obligation may be one or more debt securities or an index of such securities. The Funds may be either the protection buyer or the protection seller. The protection buyer is obligated to pay the protection seller a stream of payments (“fees”) over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event, such as a default or a downgrade in credit rating, occurs on the reference obligation. The Funds may also make or receive upfront payments. If a credit event occurs, the protection seller must pay the protection buyer the difference between the agreed upon notional value and market value of the reference obligation. Market value in this case is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the value. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that a Fund as the protection seller could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
The notional amounts of credit default swaps are not recorded in the financial statements. Credit default swaps are marked-to-market daily. Fluctuations in the value of credit default swaps are recorded in the Statements of Operations as change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Fees are accrued in accordance with the terms of the agreement and are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gain or loss when received or paid. Upfront fees paid or received by the Funds are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability, respectively, and are amortized or accreted over the term of the agreement and recorded as realized gain or loss. Payments made or received by the Funds as a result of a credit event or termination of the agreement are recorded as realized gain or loss.
Credit default swaps are privately negotiated and traded between counterparties and, as such, are subject to the risk that a party to the agreement will not be able to meet its obligations. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding credit default swaps by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or cash.
There were no credit default swaps held by the Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2011.
f. 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 of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2011 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.
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 of items such as foreign currency transactions, premium amortization, defaulted bond adjustments, paydown gains and losses, distribution redesignations, expired capital loss carryforwards and return of capital and capital gain 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, forward contract mark to market, dividends payable, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustment, REIT basis adjustments, contingent payment debt instruments 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.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely. Rules in effect as of the report date limit the carryforward period to eight years. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused.
h. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf 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.
i. Delayed Delivery Commitments. The Funds may purchase securities, including those designated as TBAs in the Portfolio of Investments, for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of the security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The security and the obligation to pay for it are recorded by the Funds at the time the commitment is entered into. The actual security that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations during the time before the Funds take delivery of the security. No interest accrues to the Funds until the transaction settles. When the Funds enter into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is required to be segregated or earmarked at the custodian in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Funds’ commitment.

Purchases of delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds’ net asset value as if the Funds had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. Risks may arise upon entering into such transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the transactions. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.
j. 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 may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement. Excess collateral in the amount of $3,175,275 related to terminated loans with a bankrupt borrower is held by State Street Bank on behalf of Strategic Income Fund.
k. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2011, at value:

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that the Funds used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts.
The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Funds’ holdings of foreign securities. The Funds may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the Funds. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, Core Plus Bond Fund and High Income Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes. During the same period, International Bond Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Each Fund is party to agreements with counterparties that govern transactions in forward foreign currency contracts. These agreements contain credit-risk-related contingent features that allow the counterparties to terminate open contracts early if the net asset value of a Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. If such features were to be triggered, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of open contracts at current fair value. As of March 31, 2011, the fair value of derivative positions subject to credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position (unrealized depreciation) by counterparty, and the value of collateral pledged to counterparties for such contracts is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Counterparty | | Derivatives | | | Collateral Pledged | |
Core Plus Bond Fund | | Credit Suisse | | $ | (23,536 | ) | | $ | — | |
High Income Fund | | Barclays | | | (46,043 | ) | | | — | |
International Bond Fund | | JPMorgan Chase | | | (9,450 | ) | | | — | |
Forward foreign currency contracts are subject to the risk that the counterparty will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations under the contracts. The Funds have mitigated this risk by entering into master netting agreements with counterparties that allow the Fund and the counterparty to net amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. The maximum amount of loss that the Funds would incur if counterparties failed to meet their obligations, based on the value of derivative positions in an unrealized gain position as of period end, and the amount of loss that the Funds would incur after taking into account master netting arrangements, are as follows as of March 31, 2011:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Maximum Amount of Loss - Gross | | | Maximum Amount of Loss - Net | |
Core Plus Bond Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
High Income Fund | | | — | | | | — | |
International Bond Fund | | | 53,335 | | | | 46,994 | |
Counterparty risk is managed through the posting of collateral and, as a result, the risk of loss to a Fund from counterparty default should be limited to the extent a Fund is undercollateralized. In addition to collateral requirements, the Funds also require counterparties to meet minimum credit quality requirements.

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

c. Administrative Fees. Natixis Advisors provides certain administrative services for the Funds and contracts 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 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 Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion and 0.0350% 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 Hansberger International Series of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

For the six months ended March 31, 2011, each Fund paid the following administrative fees to Natixis Advisors:

Core Plus Bond Fund | | $ | 91,030 | |

Limited Term Government and Agency Fund | | | 87,898 | |

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 are a percentage of the value of shares held) not to exceed what the Funds would have paid their 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.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Funds paid the following sub-transfer agent fees, which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.
| | | | |
Fund | | Sub-Transfer Agent Fees | |
Core Plus Bond Fund | | $ | 125,239 | |
High Income Fund | | | 51,140 | |

f. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trusts do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000. 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 $80,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 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 Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
Effective April 21, 2011, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, will participate in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that will participate in the line of credit. Interest will be charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, will be 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, 2011, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.
8. Concentration of Risk. International Bond Fund is a non-diversified fund. Compared with diversified mutual funds, International Bond Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular country. Therefore, International Bond Fund’s returns could be significantly affected by the performance of any one of the small number of countries in its portfolio.
Each Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.
9. Concentration of Ownership. At March 31, 2011, the Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held 27,912 shares of beneficial interest of Limited Term Government and Agency Fund.

Effective March 31, 2011, Loomis Sayles Global Markets Fund changed its name to Loomis Sayles Global Equity and Income Fund.
Market Conditions
Last year��s stock market rally carried over into 2011 until Mideast turmoil, Japan’s devastating earthquake and rising energy prices stymied the rally. Those concerns, as well as Europe’s ongoing sovereign debt crisis, led fixed-income investors to reconsider the riskier positions taken in response to improving economic trends. The dollar weakened against major currencies and interest rates were broadly on the rise. Given the magnitude of these concerns, corporate issues held up well compared to government obligations, and lower-quality bonds outperformed higher-rated issues.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Global Equity and Income Fund returned 12.14% at net asset value. The fund trailed its primary benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index, which returned 14.42%. The fund outperformed its secondary benchmark, the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, which returned -1.11%. The fund also outperformed the 8.57% average return of funds in Morningstar’s World Allocation category.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund pursues its objective by investing in equity and fixed-income securities. The fund’s primary benchmark measures equity market performance and its secondary benchmark measures government bond market performance.
On the equity side of the portfolio, strong stock selection within the information technology and industrial sectors enhanced returns. Companies tied to the global demand for smart phones and Internet access led in technology. British chip maker ARM Holdings turned in strong results, thanks to increased sales and licensing agreements. Apple continued to move higher, due to vigorous sales of its iPad tablet computer. In addition, Verizon’s adoption of iPhones boosted sales. Nvidia, which supplies semiconductors for non-Apple devices, declined. Within industrials, robust orders and

a sizeable backlog boosted FMC Technologies, makers and providers of offshore oil and gas systems and service. We increased energy exposure in response to growing global demand for oil service. In Brazil, shares of OGX Petroleo e Gas retreated following a disappointing earnings report, while Hypermarcas, a large conglomerate, fell when news of its intention to acquire a large drug chain was poorly received by the market. Stock selection among financials hurt returns as market participants shifted from the developing markets we emphasized to troubled financial institutions in developed countries.
On the bond side of the portfolio, results benefited from corporate bond exposure and an underweight in government bonds. Cyclical holdings stood out, including Lucent in technology, iStar in financials and Hovnanian Enterprises in manufacturing. The fund’s high-yield, emerging market and convertible securities also aided returns. The fund had less exposure than the index to Japanese securities, which benefited performance relative to that measure. Despite the fund’s short duration, or sensitivity to interest rate changes, long duration in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds proved disadvantageous when rates rose. A rally in the euro hurt returns compared to the index, because the fund was underweight in the euro.
Outlook
The Federal Reserve Board’s (the Fed) Treasury purchase program designed to inject money into the economy, which is referred to as “QE2” (short for quantitative easing), is about to end. A new wave of purchases is not expected unless the economy deteriorates; and that prospect is unlikely, given recent strong employment data. Rising energy prices notwithstanding, we anticipate 2011 earnings growth of 15% for the S&P 500 Index, decelerating to 10% or so next year. The Fed may have to snug up interest rates at some point if inflation expands.
In Asia outside of Japan, we believe strong currency moves versus the dollar will offset the effects of weak local equity markets. Overall, we are retaining corporate exposures because we believe that further global expansion is likely and that rising commodity prices will help sustain growth in emerging markets.

Aziz Hamzaogullari, CFA
Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P.
Objective:
Long-term growth of capital
Strategy:
Invests primarily in equity securities, including common stocks, convertible securities, and warrants; focuses on stocks of large-capitalization companies, but may invest in companies of any size

Class Y | | LSGRX |
Market Conditions
Stocks staged an impressive rally over the six months ended March 31, 2011. Rising corporate profits and increasing evidence of a strengthening economy bolstered investor confidence, and the positive environment was favorable for companies across all capitalization ranges. Among large-cap stocks, growth shares outpaced value shares by a small margin.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Growth Fund returned 11.87% at net asset value. For the same period, the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, rose 18.57%, while the average return of funds in the Morningstar Large Growth category was 17.88%.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund delivered solid double-digit gains for the period but lagged its benchmark. The fund had less exposure to energy stocks during a period in which oil prices shot up, in large part due to growing political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa. In addition, the fund’s focus on attractively priced, higher-quality companies was out of step during the period, as investors were attracted to more volatile, lower-quality companies that led the market rally. Stock selection in the healthcare and producer durables sectors also detracted from results, offsetting the positive impact of the fund’s stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector.
Relative to the benchmark, consumer discretionary was the only positively contributing sector for the time period. This strong performance was due primarily to advertising company Omnicom, the best performer for the period. We believe that an increasingly complex and changing landscape in the advertising market may create opportunities for Omnicom, including migration to digital marketing and improving measurement techniques. Other holdings that performed well included: oil service company Schlumberger, which benefited from the economic recovery and the rise in oil prices; software company Oracle, whose revenues were driven by database sales and an expansion in computer hardware; semiconductor manufacturer Altera; and biotechnology company Biogen Idec, which reported strong sales of its multiple sclerosis drug.
5 |
Despite the success in Biogen Idec, the fund’s overall healthcare results lagged. Pharmaceuticals companies Amgen, Novartis and Merck were notable detractors from the fund’s return. Amgen, a biotechnology company, came under pressure from concern about the durability of its Anemia Franchise and slower than expected uptake of new products. Switzerland-based Novartis underperformed because of worries about the effects of pending patent expirations of several products. Merck’s shares declined after the company stopped drug trials for one potential product and narrowed the scope of trials for a second product. In the producer durables area, the most notable laggard was global logistics company Expeditors International of Washington. Its share price declined after the company reported disappointing profit margins. An investment in technology giant Cisco Systems, which reported disappointing earnings margins because of increased spending in product research and development, also held back performance.
Outlook
At the end of the period, the fund had more exposure than the benchmark to the healthcare, financials and consumer staples sectors and less exposure to the energy, industrials and technology groups. These sector weights are the result of the stock selection process.
It is important to note that we do not manage the fund based on projections of macroeconomic trends. Our disciplined investment approach relies on fundamental and bottom-up research. Regardless of the current market environment, we search for what we believe are high-quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and profitable growth characteristics whose shares are trading at significant discounts to intrinsic values. We believe this discipline can limit the downside risks of losing capital and result in a diversified portfolio of companies with different fundamental drivers of return. Our approach may not produce the highest results in any one period, but we are confident that it is a prudent strategy for the long term. Because we take a long-term view on the fund’s investments, portfolio turnover tends to be relatively low.

Market Conditions
Despite upheavals in the Middle East, sharply rising oil prices and a series of disasters in Japan, gains in manufacturing, exports and retail sales helped dissipate fears of a double-dip recession during the six-month period ended March 31, 2011. The financial markets were shaken by rate hikes in key emerging markets, economic uncertainty in China and credit downgrades in several European countries. Through all this, the U.S. stock market shook off a brief correction and advanced strongly for the period.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 28.03% at net asset value. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which returned 22.97%. It also outdistanced the 22.60% average return of the funds in its peer group, the Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth category.
Explanation of Fund Performance
During a period that was generally strong for the U.S. stock market, the fund outperformed its benchmark by a significant margin. Investments in the technology, healthcare, consumer discretionary and energy sectors generally accounted for the fund’s solid gains. Within the technology sector, where the fund had an overweight position relative to its benchmark, Riverbed Technology, Acme Packet and Aruba Networks made significant contributions to return. In the consumer discretionary sector, lululemon athletica, a designer and retailer of women’s athletic apparel; Fossil, which designs and manufactures watches and accessories; and Netflix, the leader in providing movies and other entertainment content online and by mail, were outstanding performers. Lululemon was an out-of-index selection that generated outsized returns. The fund’s energy holdings were also strong contributors to return. A decision to own more shares of Concho Resources and Walter Energy paid off handsomely, as both stocks
generated returns that were substantially higher than the benchmark average.

The most disappointing stocks in the portfolio were Finisar, which designs and manufactures optical components for communications networks; Citrix Systems, an enterprise software company; and Eldorado Gold, an international mining company. All three stocks were sold. The only two sectors to lag the benchmark were consumer staples and materials. Even so, both sectors made a positive contribution to total return for the period. Within consumer staples, Green Mountain Coffee drove underperformance for the sector. The fund held the stock in late 2010 when it declined after the company issued disappointing earnings guidance. It rebounded early in 2011 when it announced a partnership with Starbucks, but we had sold most of our position and did not reap the benefits. The underperformance in materials can be attributed to several gold mining, copper and fertilizer stocks.
During the period, the fund employed derivatives to hedge several stocks that represented large positions in the portfolio or that were exposed to significant “event” risk — healthcare stocks, for example, where clinical trials were essential to performance. In most of these instances the underlying stocks continued to appreciate, so the hedges were a drag on performance. Nevertheless, we viewed them as valuable defensive measures for the overall portfolio.
Outlook
We believe that business leaders are becoming more convinced of the sustainability of this expansion and are planning accordingly. Profit margins are currently healthy as companies are operating with lean staffing, although employment growth has clearly turned up. Equity price-to-earnings multiples are lower, on average, than they have been in the past 25 years. Yet earnings growth is likely to continue to be strong for the next few quarters, even as comparisons become more difficult. While there will be no shortage of hurdles for investors in the coming months, we continue to believe that stocks can represent an attractive and timely opportunity for long-term investors.

Market Conditions
A recovering economy brought improved financial results for corporations over the past six months, with expanding cash flows and revenues brightening the outlook for future growth. Stock prices fed on this good news, moving higher over the period. Market participants were also encouraged by a more business-friendly tone in Washington.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Value Fund returned 19.87% at net asset value. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 17.68%. It also outperformed the 16.88% average return of the funds in its peer group, the Morningstar Large Value category.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Strong security selection, notably in the financial services and consumer discretionary sectors, accounted for the bulk of the fund’s performance advantage against its benchmark, with the balance coming as a result of sector allocation. The fund’s sector allocations are the result of its stock selection process.
In financial services, as Discover Financial emerged from recession-related credit difficulties, investors came to recognize its growth potential. A dividend increase further boosted Discover Financial’s performance. The fund reduced its underweight in financials by adding to Citigroup and Fifth Third Bancorp. In the consumer discretionary sector, the fund benefited from an overweight in the sector as well as from strong stock selection in automotive and media companies.
Although the fund’s energy holdings slightly underperformed the benchmark’s 43% energy sector return, the fund benefited from strong performances by Schlumberger, Hess, and ExxonMobil as oil and gas prices rose. Natural gas pipeline operator El Paso moved higher over the period thanks to rising prices and its strong exploration and production profile. El Paso is potentially well-positioned to expand volumes over the next several years.
13 |
Additionally, the sale of Owens Illinois shares shifted the portfolio from overweight to underweight in the materials and processing sector.
Results in technology and pharmaceuticals were disappointing. AOL’s shares moved higher on expectations of a merger with Yahoo, then fell when the rumors proved false. Shares have partly rebounded since. The management team believes AOL’s current strategy of focusing on premium content and high quality advertising could drive better results in the second half of this year. Shares of Cisco Systems, which sells Internet-related networking and other communications products, fell despite improving sales and revenue trends. Pharmaceutical giant Merck reported strong revenues and better-than-expected earnings early in the period. However, shares retreated when management backed off its long-range earnings forecasts. Behind management’s caution were industry pressures and a setback in trials for Vorapaxar, a clot-fighting drug that had been expected to yield large sales.
Outlook
The Federal Reserve Board’s (the Fed’s) Treasury purchase program designed to inject money into the economy, which is known as “QE2” (quantitative easing), is about to end. A new wave of purchases is not expected unless the economy takes an unexpected turn to the downside. That prospect is unlikely, given recent strong employment data. In fact, the employment figures for February and March were some of the best we have seen in several years. Our working assumption is that investors and corporate executives need to plan for somewhat higher energy and other commodity input costs in the months ahead. However, we anticipate 15% earnings growth for the S&P 500 Index in 2011, decelerating to 10% or so next year.

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, and 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 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, 2010 through March 31, 2011. 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.

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. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Loomis Sayles Global Equity and Income Fund (formerly Loomis Sayles Global Markets Fund) (the “Global Equity and Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Mid Cap Growth Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Value Fund (the “Value Fund”)
Each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. In addition, Value Fund offers Admin Class shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders of Growth Fund and Value Fund 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 are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge; however, they are charged higher Rule 12b-1 fees, and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if such shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. After eight years of ownership, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class 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 Funds’ prospectus. Admin Class shares do not pay a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, but do pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries.
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). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.

2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
a. Valuation. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by 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 valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided 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. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. 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.
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
| 62
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
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. As of March 31, 2011, approximately 28% of the market value of Global Equity and Income Fund’s investments was fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. 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 values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
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.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross 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 Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency 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. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash or securities as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.
e. Option Contracts. The Funds may enter into option contracts. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked to market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised 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.
When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Net premiums received for written options which expire are treated as realized gains. Net premiums received for written options which are exercised or closed are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying instrument or closing purchase transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option.
Exchange-traded options have standardized contracts and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment guaranteed by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are limited. Over-the-counter options are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the option. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Funds were not party to any over-the-counter options.

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 of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2011 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.
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. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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 of items such as net operating losses, paydown gains and losses, foreign currency transactions, gains realized from passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”), defaulted bonds, premium amortization and expired capital loss carryforwards. 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 contract mark to market, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustment, straddle loss deferrals, wash sales, premium amortization, contingent payment debt instruments, PFIC un-reversed inclusions 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, 2010 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |

Value Fund | | | 7,877,957 | | | | — | | | | 7,877,957 | |
As of September 30, 2010, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely. Rules in effect as of the report date limit the carryforward period to eight years. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused.
h. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf 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.

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 may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
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.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that the Funds currently use are forward foreign currency contracts and option contracts.
The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Funds’ holdings of foreign securities. The Funds may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the Funds. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, Global Equity and Income Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.
The Funds are subject to the risk of unpredictable declines in the value of individual equity securities and periods of below-average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. The Funds may use purchased put options and written call options to hedge against a decline in value of an equity security that it owns, and may use written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes. The Funds may also use purchased call options to gain exposure to an equity security without committing the capital required to buy it, while also limiting the downside risk associated with owning it. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, Mid Cap Growth Fund engaged in purchased put and written call options for hedging purposes, and in written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes.
Global Equity and Income Fund and Mid Cap Growth Fund are parties to agreements with counterparties that govern transactions in forward foreign currency contracts and over-the-counter options. The agreements contain credit-risk-related contingent fea-
71 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
tures that allow the counterparties to terminate open contracts early if the net asset value of a Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. If such features were to be triggered, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of open contracts at current fair value. As of March 31, 2011, there were no Funds that held derivative positions subject to credit-risk related contingent features that were in a net liability position (unrealized depreciation) by counterparty.
Forward foreign currency contracts and over-the-counter options are subject to the risk that the counterparty will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations under the contracts. Global Equity and Income Fund and Mid Cap Growth Fund have mitigated this risk by entering into master netting agreements with counterparties that allow the Fund and the counterparty to net amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. As of March 31, 2011, the maximum amount of loss that Global Equity and Income Fund would incur if counterparties failed to meet their obligations, based on the value of derivative positions in an unrealized gain position as of period end, is $63,319 and the amount of loss that Global Equity and Income Fund would incur after taking into account master netting arrangements is $43,616.
Counterparty risk is managed through the posting of collateral and, as a result, the risk of loss to a Fund from counterparty default should be limited to the extent a Fund is undercollateralized. In addition to collateral requirements, the Funds also require counterparties to meet minimum credit quality requirements.

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

In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 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 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 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
Effective April 21, 2011, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, will participate in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that will participate in the line of credit. Interest will be charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, will be 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, 2011, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.
8. 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 on investments on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Rebates | |
Global Equity and Income Fund | | $ | 9,184 | |
Growth Fund | | | 711 | |
Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | 14,337 | |
Value Fund | | | 27,765 | |
9. Concentration of Risk. Each Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.
At March 31, 2011, Global Equity and Income Fund held Taiwan dollars, valued at $2,267,842, that were restricted as to withdrawal or usage. This amount represents the proceeds from sales of securities in Taiwan. These proceeds cannot be repatriated until the Fund engages a tax agent in Taiwan for the purpose of performing certain duties for compliance with Taiwan’s tax laws.

Investment activities of these shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds. As of March 31, 2011, certain Funds had shareholders that held greater than 5% of the fund’s outstanding shares. Such ownership may be beneficially held by multiple individuals or entities other than the owner of record. The number of greater than 5% shareholders and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such ownership was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Number of Greater Than 5% Shareholders | | | Percentage of Ownership | |

Fund and manager review
FUND FACTS
Managers:
Mark F. Burns, CFA
John Slavik, CFA
Symbols:
| | |
Institutional Class | | LSSIX |
Retail Class | | LCGRX |
Objective:
Long-term capital growth from investments in common stocks or other equity securities
Strategy:
Invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations that fall within the capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index or is $3 billion or less at the time of investment. Unlike the Index, the Fund may invest in companies of any size.
The fund may invest any portion of its assets in Canadian securities and up to 20% of assets in other foreign securities, including emerging markets securities.
Fund Inception Date:
December 31, 1996
Net Assets:
$249.5 million
Market Conditions
Stocks rallied sharply during the six-month period, fueled by a modest improvement in U.S. business conditions and renewed investor optimism stemming from continued accommodation from the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed). These factors, combined with better-than-expected corporate profits, drove share prices higher despite political turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East and the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan. Risk appetites stayed fairly high, and equities remained the vehicle of choice for investors. Overall, small-cap stocks led the market higher, and growth stocks outperformed value stocks.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund returned 32.43%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 27.93% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Strong stock selection primarily drove the fund’s relative outperformance. Our choices were particularly strong in the consumer discretionary sector, where IMAX and Tempur-Pedic International drove results. Shares of IMAX, the operator of large screen movie theaters, rose sharply after beating earnings and raising estimates for new theater installations. Tempur-Pedic shares rose sharply after reporting better-than-expected earnings due to market share gains for the company’s Cloud Collection mattresses, which appeal to the higher end of the market. Stock selection and an overweight position led to favorable relative results in the energy sector with Rosetta Resources Inc. and T-3 Energy Services as the top performers. Rosetta Resources, an oil and gas exploration and production company, rose sharply in the fourth quarter after reporting strong earnings. T-3 Energy Services, an oilfield products and service company, saw shares spike after the company announced it was being acquired by Robbins and Myers in the fourth quarter. Stock selection also contributed favorably in the producer durables sector. Shares of Ladish, a metal processing and fabrication company,
1 |
spiked after Allegheny Technologies agreed to acquire the company at a nearly 60% premium. MasTec, a building and construction company focusing on utilities and communications infrastructure, advanced on solid earnings and revenue growth.
Stock selection was weakest in the financial services sector, the only sector to materially detract from relative performance. Shares of NetSpend Holding Inc., a provider of pre-paid debit cards, declined due to poor business fundamentals, while investment-banking firm Greenhill tumbled on a weak fourth quarter and uneven mergers and acquisitions activity.
The largest change in sector weights during the period was a reduction in the healthcare sector. We sold specific companies within the medical device, healthcare services and pharmaceutical/biotechnology industries. We also reduced the fund’s weight in the consumer discretionary sector, albeit to a lesser extent, primarily by selling holdings in the retail industry. The biggest beneficiaries of the sales proceeds were the producer durables, technology and materials and processing sectors.
Outlook
Core inflation statistics have remained well within the Fed’s informal target range, but many commentators believe that the Fed may need to snug things up somewhat in the next few months. The Fed’s second round of large-scale Treasury purchases, which is referred to as “QE2”, is scheduled to end on June 30, 2011. At this point we do not expect an extension of asset purchases in the form of a “QE3” unless the economy takes an unexpected turn to the downside. Employment conditions have improved substantially over the past several months, and the employment reports for the months of February and March, 2011, made for some of the best reading we have seen in several years. Our working assumption is that investors and corporate executives need to plan for somewhat higher energy and other commodity input costs in the months ahead. This may be a factor in an eventual plateauing of corporate margins. However, this is built into our outlook in that we are anticipating about 15% earnings growth for the S&P 500 this year, decelerating to 10% or so next year.
What You Should Know:
Investments in the fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the fund’s prospectus. The purchase of fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.

Market Conditions
Stocks rallied sharply during the six-month period, fueled by a modest improvement in U.S. business conditions and renewed investor optimism stemming from continued accommodation from the Federal Reserve Board. These factors, combined with better-than-expected corporate profits, drove share prices higher despite a host of challenges: political turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East and an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan. Risk appetites stayed fairly high, and equities remained the vehicle of choice for investors. Overall, small-cap stocks led the market higher, and growth stocks outperformed value stocks.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund returned 26.11%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, which returned 22.97% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
All sectors of the portfolio delivered double-digit returns for the period. Stock selection, particularly in the producer durables and financial services sectors, drove the fund’s outperformance relative to the benchmark. Within producer durables, the fund’s position in Baldor Electric, a manufacturer of industrial electric motors, was its top contributor. The company agreed to be acquired by Switzerland-based power and automation engineering company ABB Ltd. for a 41% premium to prior trading levels. In the financial services sector, our stock selections in the brokerage, transaction processing and consumer lending industries contributed positively to performance. In addition, an underweight in the financial services sector helped, as the group trailed the small cap value index. Overall, the fund’s sector weights contributed positively to relative performance, with overweight positions in outperforming sectors, including producer durables and materials and processing, offsetting a slight underweight in energy stocks.

What You Should Know:
Investments in the fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the fund’s prospectus. The purchase of fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.
On a relative basis, an underweight in the energy sector, which was the market’s top-performing sector, and weak stock selection in the real estate investment trust (REIT) segment of the financials sector detracted from results. REIT stocks lagged during the six-month period. While the fund benefited from having a relatively small weight in the sector, stock selection lagged due to weaker performance in certain data center and health-care facility REITs.
Changes to the portfolio during the six months were largely driven by company-specific factors, with the net result showing an increase in technology holdings and a reduction in consumer durables. The technology weight increased with the addition of several communications-related stocks positioned to benefit from increasing demands on enterprise and carrier-based networks.
Outlook
Core inflation statistics have remained well within the Fed’s informal target range, but many commentators believe that the Fed may need to snug things up somewhat in the next few months. The Fed’s second round of large-scale Treasury purchases, which is referred to as “QE2”, is scheduled to end on June 30, 2011. At this point we do not expect an extension of asset purchases in the form of a “QE3” unless the economy takes an unexpected turn to the downside. Employment conditions have improved substantially over the past several months, and the employment reports for the months of February and March, 2011, made for some of the best reading we have seen in several years. Our working assumption is that investors and corporate executives need to plan for somewhat higher energy and other commodity input costs in the months ahead. This may be a factor in an eventual plateauing of corporate margins. However, this is built into our outlook in that we are anticipating about 15% earnings growth for the S&P 500 this year, decelerating to 10% or so next year.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs 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.
7 |
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, 2010 through March 31, 2011. 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.
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.

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). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
a. Valuation. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by 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 valued 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. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. 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.
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. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. 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 values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
d. 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 of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2011 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

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.
e. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as expired capital loss carryforwards, distribution redesignations 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 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, 2010 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 2,321,057 | | | | — | | | | 2,321,057 | |
As of September 30, 2010, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Capital loss carryforward: | | Small Cap Growth Fund | | | Small Cap Value Fund | |
Expires September 30, 2011 | | $ | (59,283,040 | ) | | $ | — | |
Expires September 30, 2017 | | | (14,995,800 | ) | | | (88,137,321 | ) |
Expires September 30, 2018 | | | (11,885,718 | ) | | | (58,500,125 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | (86,164,558 | ) | | $ | (146,637,446 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely. Rules in effect as of the report date limit the carryforward period to eight years. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act must be
| 32
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused.
f. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf 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.
g. 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 may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
h. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in
33 |
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2011, at value:

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 waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Funds’ operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses. These undertakings are in effect until January 31, 2012 and are reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreements were as follows:
| | | | | | |

Under the Retail 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 Funds’ Retail Class shares, as compensation for services provided by Natixis Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Retail Class shares or for payments made by Natixis Distributors to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Retail Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.
Under the Admin Class Plan, Small Cap Value 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 Admin Class shares, as compensation for services provided by Natixis Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by Natixis Distributors to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Admin Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
In addition, the Admin Class shares of Small Cap Value Fund may pay Natixis Distributors an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares. These fees are subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal services and/or account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

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 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 Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion and 0.0350% 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 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 additional class and an additional $75,000 if managed by multiple subadvisers.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, each Fund paid the following administrative fees to Natixis Advisors:

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 to exceed 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.

e. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trusts do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000. 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 $80,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 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 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.
f. Payments by Affiliates. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Loomis Sayles reimbursed Small Cap Growth Fund $36 for losses incurred in connection with a trading error.

Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
Effective April 21, 2011, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, will participate in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that will participate in the line of credit. Interest will be charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, will be 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, 2011, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.
8. Brokerage Commission Recapture. Each Fund has entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions.

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 below investment-grade 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.

Market Conditions
Corporate bonds and credit-sensitive securities outperformed Treasuries and other high quality fixed-income investments during the six months ended March 31, 2011. The Federal Reserve Board’s (the Fed’s) accommodative policies combined with an expanding global economy, solid corporate earnings gains and rising consumer confidence to create a favorable backdrop for riskier sectors. However, the fixed-income market became more volatile toward the end of the first quarter of 2011 as a result of political unrest in the Middle East, a devastating earthquake in Japan and rising commodity prices, particularly for oil. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar declined relative to major currencies over the period.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund returned 2.44% at net asset value. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned -1.90%. It also outperformed the 0.12% average return of funds in its peer group, the Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond category.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund’s outperformance was primarily due to strong security selection and sector positioning within non-U.S. dollar holdings, investment grade and high yield corporate credit and convertible bonds. A decision to underweight U.S. Treasuries also proved helpful in a market that rewarded risk.
The fund’s substantial out-of-benchmark exposure to outperforming, higher-yielding currencies was a major factor in its outperformance, as the U.S. dollar fell in relative value against many foreign currencies. Exposure to the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Norwegian krone and New Zealand dollar provided the greatest boost to returns. At the same time, security selection within the investment-grade corporate sector also helped, led by holdings in the finance, banking, capital goods and transportation industries. In addition, the fund gained from modest positions in the higher-yielding, below-investment-grade corporate market, which is not part of the benchmark. Within the high-yield sector, we concentrated on industrials, where we received particularly
1 |
good results in the consumer cyclicals, transportation and basic and capital goods industries. Exposure to commercial mortgage- and asset-backed securities also helped performance, as did positions in convertible bonds.
While the fund’s exposure to credit risk had a positive effect on returns, exposure to interest-rate risk had a somewhat negative effect, as yields moved higher during the six months. We maintained a slightly longer-than-benchmark duration—a measure of price sensitivity to changes in yields—and this positioning tended to hold back results when yields rose. The fund’s small position in municipal bonds also modestly detracted from relative performance.
Outlook
Strong liquidity, markets in transition, geopolitical turmoil, continued economic recovery and tragic natural disasters garnered significant attention from market participants during the first quarter of 2011. Many of these themes will continue to dominate investor consciousness going forward. We believe markets remain in transition regarding interest rates, with pressures building both globally and domestically. Globally, growth in many areas of the world remains robust; however, inflation concerns have begun to attract attention. Central banks will likely continue to shift toward less accommodative policy as 2011 progresses. We anticipate the Fed’s program of Treasury purchases in the United States, which is referred to as “QE2” (short for quantitative easing), will end during the second quarter and believe the U.S. economic recovery has sufficient momentum to continue expanding without outsized government stimulus.
Our assessment of the fundamental underpinnings of the corporate sector remains positive. In general, corporations are proceeding conservatively with regard to hiring and capital expenditures. Merger and acquisition activity has increased recently, and we believe there is room for more growth in that space. Valuations in the corporate bond space are generally fair, with investor demand for yield providing support and liquidity to the high-yield, investment-grade and convertible sectors. We continue to position the fund for global economic recovery, as well as a gradual upward bias in interest rates. We continue to emphasize yield advantage, global diversification and specific bond picking within the fund.
What You Should Know:
Investments in the Fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the Fund’s prospectus. The purchase of Fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.

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.

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; and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees) and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. 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, 2010 through March 31, 2011. 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.

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. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund (the “Fund” or the “Investment Grade Bond Fund”).
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class Y, Admin Class 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; however, they are charged higher Rule 12b-1 fees, and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if such shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. After eight years of ownership, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class 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. Admin Class shares do not pay a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, but do pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries. 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 (Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees for Class A, Class B, Class C, Admin Class and Class J, and registration, legal, shareholder reporting and transfer agent fees for Class J). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of the Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
35 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
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. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.
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 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 Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued 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. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. 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.
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. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported 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. 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 values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of 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.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge the 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 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. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash or securities as collateral for the Fund’s or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.
37 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
There were no forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2011.
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 of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2011 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.
The Fund may be subject to foreign 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 of items such as defaulted bonds, reclassification of realized capital gain to ordinary income, foreign currency transactions, paydown adjustments and premium amortization. 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, deferred Trustees’ fees, defaulted bond accruals, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustments, forward contract mark to market, contingent payment debt instruments and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.
| 38
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
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, 2010 was as follows:
| | | | |
2010 Distributions Paid From: |
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term
Capital Gains | | Total |
$464,455,790 | | $ — | | $464,455,790 |
Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely. Rules in effect as of the report date limit the carryforward period to eight years. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused.
g. Repurchase Agreements. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.
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
39 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund did not loan securities under this agreement.
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.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

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 waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Fund’s operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses. This undertaking is in effect until January 31, 2012 and is
| 42
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to this undertaking.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, 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 | | Admin Class | | Class J |
0.95% | | 1.70% | | 1.70% | | 0.70% | | 1.20% | | 1.30% |
Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreement (whether through waiver of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the management fees for the Fund were $19,517,332 (0.40% of average daily net assets).
No expenses were recovered during the six months ended March 31, 2011 under the terms of the expense limitation agreement.
Certain officers and employees of Loomis Sayles are also officers or Trustees of the Trust. Loomis Sayles’ general partner is indirectly owned by Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (“Natixis US”), which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.
b. 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 Funds of the Trust, 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 Trust has adopted a Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class A shares (the “Class A Plan”), a Distribution and Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class B and Class C shares (the “Class B and Class C Plans”), and a Distribution Plan relating to its Admin Class shares (the “Admin Class Plan”).
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 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 by Natixis Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Class B and Class C shares.
Under the Admin Class Plan, the 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 Admin Class shares, as compensation for services provided by Natixis Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by Natixis Distributors to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Admin Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Fund may pay Natixis Distributors an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares. These fees are subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal services and/or account maintenance for their customers who hold such 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, 2011, the Fund paid the following service and distribution fees:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Service Fees | | Distribution Fees |
Class A | | Class B | | Class C | | Admin Class | | Class J | | Class B | | Class C | | Admin Class | | Class J |
$3,599,077 | | $20,056 | | $3,002,470 | | $1,977 | | $155,455 | | $60,169 | | $9,007,412 | | $1,977 | | $310,911 |
c. Administrative Fees. Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Fund and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator.

Trusts”), Hansberger International Series and Natixis Advisors, the 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 Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion and 0.0350% 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 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 additional class and an additional $75,000 if managed by multiple subadvisers.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund paid $2,280,026 in administrative fees to Natixis Advisors.
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 to exceed 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.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund paid the following sub-transfer agent fees which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.
| | | | | | | | | | |

$1,111,477 | | $ 6,174 | | $929,135 | | $1,653,631 | | $ 510 | | $ — |
e. Commissions. Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by Natixis Distributors were $1,250,410 and commissions on Class J shares of the Fund retained by Loomis Sayles Distributors were $12,074 for the six months ended March 31, 2011.
f. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000. 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 $80,000. Each Independent Trustee also

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 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 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 Fund under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. Class-Specific Expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund paid the following class-specific expenses:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit.

11. Redemption In-Kind. In certain circumstances, a Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for redemption of Fund shares (redemption in-kind). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund will recognize a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities; the Fund will recognize a loss if the cost exceeds value. Gains and losses realized on redemptions in-kind are not recognized for tax purposes, and are re-classified from realized gain (loss) to paid-in-capital. The Fund realized a gain of $19,158,810 on redemptions in-kind during the six months ended March 31, 2011. This amount is included in realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

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.

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, and 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 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, 2010 through March 31, 2011. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2011 (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. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to Loomis Sayles Disciplined Equity Fund (the “Fund” or the “Disciplined Equity Fund”).
The 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 Fund’s prospectus.
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; however, they are charged higher Rule 12b-1 fees, and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if such shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. After eight years of ownership, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class 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.
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). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.
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. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.
a. Valuation. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by 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 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 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 Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Domestic exchange-traded single equity option contracts are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer 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. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. 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.
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
11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
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. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. 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 values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of 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.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge the 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 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. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash or securities as collateral for the Fund’s or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.
There were no forward foreign currency contracts held by the Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2011.
e. Option Contracts. The Fund may enter into option contracts. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked to market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised 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.
When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Net premiums received for written options which expire are treated as realized gains. Net premiums received for written options which are exercised or closed are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying instrument or closing purchase transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option.

Exchange-traded options have standardized contracts and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment guaranteed by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Fund are limited. Over-the-counter options are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the option. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund was not party to any over-the-counter options.
f. 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 of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2011 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.
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 Statement 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 of items such as foreign currency transactions. 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, straddle loss deferrals 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, 2010 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
2010 Distributions Paid From: | |
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
$185,129 | | $ | — | | | $ | 185,129 | |
As of September 30, 2010, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:
| | | | |
Capital loss carryforward: | | | | |
Expires September 30, 2017 | | $ | (2,229,424 | ) |
Expires September 30, 2018 | | | (3,119,805 | ) |
| | | | |
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | (5,349,229 | ) |
| | | | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely. Rules in effect as of the report date limit the carryforward period to eight years. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused.
h. Repurchase Agreements. It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

i. Securities Lending. The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund did not loan securities under this agreement.
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 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.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2011, at value:
Asset Valuation Inputs

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that the Fund currently uses include option contracts.
The Fund is subject to the risk of unpredictable declines in the value of individual equity securities and periods of below-average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. The Fund may use purchased put options and written call options
| 14
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
to hedge against a decline in value of an equity security that it owns. The Fund may also write put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund engaged in purchased put and written call options for hedging purposes and in written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes.
The following is a summary of derivative instruments for the Fund as of March 31, 2011:
| | | | |
Statement of Assets and Liabilities Caption | | Equity Contracts | |
Liabilities | | | | |
Options written, at value | | $ | (19,424 | ) |
Transactions in derivative instruments for the Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2011, was as follows:
| | | | |
Statement of Operations Caption | | Equity Contracts | |
Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: | | | | |
Investments* | | $ | (21,494 | ) |
Options written | | | (106,081 | ) |
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on: | | | | |
Options written | | | (1,478 | ) |
* | Represents realized loss for purchased options during the period. |
As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.
Volume of option activity, as a percentage of net assets, for the Fund, based on month-end (for call options)/daily (for put options) market values of equity securities underlying written options, at absolute value, was as follows for the six months ended March 31, 2011:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Disciplined Equity Fund* | | Call Options Written | | | Put Options Purchased | | | Put Options Written | |
Average Market Value of Underlying Securities | | | 9.35% | | | | 0.12% | | | | 0.12% | |

Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreements (whether through waiver of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the management fees and waivers of management fees for the Fund were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

b. 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 Funds of the Trust.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Trust has adopted a Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class A shares (the “Class A Plan”) and a Distribution and Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class 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.

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 by Natixis Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Class B and Class C shares.

c. Administrative Fees. Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Funds and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator.

Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, 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, the 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 Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion and 0.0350% 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 Hansberger International Series of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund paid $8,304 in administrative fees to Natixis Advisors.
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 the intermediaries (which generally are a percentage of the value of shares held) not to exceed 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.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund paid $10,066 in sub-transfer agent fees, which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000. 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 $80,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 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 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

Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
