Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of, and not necessarily indicative of, future results. Total return and value will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For most recent month-end performance, visit im.natixis.com. Performance for other share classes will be greater or less than shown based on differences in fees and sales charges. You may not invest directly in an index. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. The table(s) do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares.
1 | Class C shares performance assumes a 1% CDSC applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase. |
2 | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index measures the market of USD-denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P is Ba1/BB /BB or below, excluding emerging market debt. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index was created in 1986, with history backfilled to July 1, 1983, and rolls up into the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Universal and Global High-Yield Indices. |
3 | Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower. |
4 | Expense ratios are as shown in the Fund’s prospectus in effect as of the date of this report. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report under Ratios to Average Net Assets. Net expenses reflect contractual expense limitations set to expire on 4/30/20. When a Fund’s expenses are below the limitation, gross and net expense ratios will be the same. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information about the Fund’s expense limitations. |

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 following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first line in the table of each class of Fund shares shows the actual account values and actual Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019. 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 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 to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line in the table of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY ANDSUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Board of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement and Loomis SaylesMulti-Asset Income Fund’ssub-advisory agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements, typically for an additionalone-year period. After the Contract Review Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements.
In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Funds’ investment advisers andsub-advisers, as applicable (collectively, the “Advisers”) believe to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreements. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Funds and the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory andsub-advisory fees, if any, and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ advisory fees andsub-advisory fees, if any, to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Advisers, if any, and to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Advisers and (v) information obtained through the completion by the Advisers of a questionnaire distributed on behalf of the Trustees. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considers other matters such as (i) each Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Advisers’ respective investment staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (ii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (iii) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including, to the extent applicable, the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research and other similar services, (iv) each Adviser’s policies and procedures relating to, among other things, compliance, trading and best execution, proxy voting and valuation, (v) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (vi) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Advisers.
In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their annual consideration of the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board that provide detailed information about the Funds’ investment performance and the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing each Fund’s performance and expense differentials against each Fund’s peer group/category where available, performance ratings provided by a third-party, total return information for various periods, and third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing a Fund against similarly categorized funds. The portfolio management team for each Fund or other representatives of the Advisers make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and Funds identified as presenting possible performance concerns may be subject to more frequent Board or Committee presentations

and reviews. In addition, each quarter the Trustees are provided with detailed statistical information about each Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.
The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements for aone-year period at its meeting held in June 2019. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisers and their affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Advisers and their affiliates.
The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Advisers to the Funds, but also the monitoring and oversight services provided by Natixis Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”). They also considered the administrative and shareholder services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds.
For each Fund, the Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is part of a family of funds that offers shareholders the right to exchange shares of one type of fund for shares of another type of fund, and provides a variety of fund and shareholder services.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreements.
Investment performance of the Funds and the Advisers. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information that compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups and categories of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.
The Board noted that, through December 31, 2018, each Fund’sone-, three- and five-year performance stated as percentile rankings within categories selected by the independent third-party data provider, was as follows (where the best performance would be in the first percentile of its category):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | One-Year | | | Three-Year | | | Five-Year | |
Loomis Sayles High Income Fund | | | 68 | % | | | 39 | % | | | 35 | % |
Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund | | | 46 | % | | | 2 | % | | | 58 | % |
Loomis Sayles Multi-Asset Income Fund | | | 95 | % | | | 82 | % | | | 50 | % |
In the case of each Fund that had performance that lagged that of a relevant category median as determined by the independent third-party for certain (although not necessarily all) periods the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements. These factors included one or more of the following: (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Adviser that were reasonable and
| 12
consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; (2) that more recent performance has been stronger relative to its category; (3) that the Fund had recently been assigned to a different category by the independent third-party data provider, which is expected to result in more relevant performance comparisons; and (3) that longer-term performance has been competitive when compared to relevant performance benchmarks.
The Trustees also considered each Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Advisers to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Advisers to take steps intended to improve performance.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the performance of the Funds and the Advisers and/or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreements.
The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their respective relationships with the Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory,sub-advisory and administrative services, as applicable, as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and by an independent third party) of the Funds’ advisory fees and total expense levels to those of their peer groups and information about the advisory fees charged by the Advisers to comparable accounts (such as institutional separate accounts), as well as information about differences in such fees and the reasons for any such differences. In considering the fees charged to comparable accounts, the Trustees considered, among other things, management’s representations about the differences between managing mutual funds as compared to other types of accounts, including the additional resources required to effectively manage mutual fund assets and the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of such assets. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory andsub-advisory fees, as applicable, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of such Fund and the need for the Advisers to offer competitive compensation and the potential need to expend additional resources to the extent the Fund grows in size. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps for various funds in the fund family. They noted that the Funds have expense caps in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser for a Fund under its cap.
The Trustees noted that Loomis Sayles High Income Fund had a total advisory fee rate that was above the median of a peer group of funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered the factors that management believed justified such relatively higher advisory fee rate, including that management had proposed to reduce the expense cap of the Fund.
The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Advisers’ and their affiliates’ relationships with the Funds, and information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability, including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser compensation or profitability were issues, the performance of the relevant Funds, the expense levels of the Funds, whether the Advisers had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to such Funds and the overall profit margin of Natixis

Investment Managers compared to that of certain other investment managers for which such data was available.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fees charged to each of the Funds were fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Advisers and their affiliates in respect of their relationships with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Advisers and whether those economies are shared with the Funds through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense caps. The Trustees also considered management’s explanation of the factors that are taken into account with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense caps. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that Loomis Sayles Multi-Asset Income Fund and Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund have breakpoints in their advisory fees and that each of the Funds was subject to an expense cap. The Trustees also considered management’s proposal to reduce the expense caps for Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund and Loomis Sayles High Income Fund. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and on a relative basis) and the profitability to the Advisers and their affiliates of their relationships with the Funds, as discussed above. The Trustees also considered that the Funds have benefitted from the substantial reinvestment each Adviser has made into its business.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.
The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:
· | | The effect of recent market and economic events on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund. |
· | | Whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Advisers. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their affiliates were providing to the Funds. |
· | | So-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution and administrative services to the Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Advisers by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the benefits to the parent company of Natixis Advisors from the retention of the Adviser. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest. |
· | | The Trustees’ review and discussion of the Funds’ advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years. |
Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of the existing Agreements should be continued through June 30, 2020.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2019 (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 (the “1940 Act”), as anopen-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 Multi-Asset Income Fund (the “Multi-Asset Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Funds II:
Loomis Sayles High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund (the “Investment Grade Bond Fund”)
Each Fund is a diversified investment company.
On October 5, 2018, the Board of Trustees approved a change to the fiscal year end of High Income Fund and Investment Grade Bond Fund from September 30 to December 31. Accordingly, the Funds’ financial statements and related notes include information as of and for the three month period ended December 31, 2018, and the year ended September 30, 2018.
Each Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. In addition, Investment Grade Bond Fund also offers Admin Class shares.
Class A shares are sold with a maximumfront-end sales charge of 4.25%. Class C shares do not pay afront-end sales charge, pay higher Rule12b-1 fees than Class A shares for ten years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares) and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay afront-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Class Y shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $100,000. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N and Class Y as outlined in the relevant Funds’ prospectus. Admin Class shares do not pay afront-end sales charge or a CDSC, but do pay a Rule12b-1 fee. Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries.
Most expenses can be directly attributed to a Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV and Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), and Natixis ETF Trust. Expenses of a Fund are bornepro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (such as the Rule12b-1 fees applicable to Class A, Class C

and Admin Class), and transfer agent fees are borne collectively for Class A, Class C, Class Y, and Admin Class and individually for Class N. In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive theirpro rata share of the net assets of the Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
a. Valuation. Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:
Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Senior loans and collateralized loan obligations are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Listed equity securities (including shares ofclosed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and senior loans and collateralized loan obligations where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward

foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by a Fund.
Illiquid securities for which market quotations are readily available and have been evaluated by the adviser are considered and classified as fair valued securities pursuant to the Funds’ pricing policies and procedures.
As of June 30, 2019, securities held by the Funds were fair valued as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Equity securities1 | | | Percentage of Net Assets | | | Securities classified as fair valued | | | Percentage of Net Assets | | | Securities fair valued by the Fund’s adviser | | | Percentage of Net Assets | |
High Income Fund | | $ | — | | | | — | % | | $ | 1,670,442 | | | | 1.1 | % | | $ | 864,421 | | | | 0.6 | % |
Investment Grade Bond Fund | | | — | | | | — | % | | | 109,507,373 | | | | 2.0 | % | | | 46,761,524 | | | | 0.8 | % |
Multi-Asset Income Fund | | | 2,819,630 | | | | 2.6 | % | | | — | | | | — | % | | | — | | | | — | % |
1 | Certain foreign equity securities were fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities. |
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax,

if applicable, is recorded on theex-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, if applicable. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendaryear-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income,non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on apro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.
The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations,

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the amount of income available to be distributed has been reduced by the following amount as a result of losses arising from changes in exchange rates:
| | | | |
Multi-Asset Income Fund | | $ | 120,377 | |
The Funds may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Funds’ investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency a Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Contracts are tradedover-the-counter directly with a counterparty. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.
e. Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular instrument or index for a specified price on a specified future date.
When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities as “initial margin.” As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the broker. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters
| 78
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
into a futures contract certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.
Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, a Fund’s claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.
No futures contracts were held by the Funds during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
f. When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Funds may enter into when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. When-issued refers to transactions made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not been issued. Delayed delivery refers to transactions for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of when-issued and delayed delivery securities and the date when the securities 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 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.
Delayed delivery transactions include those designated as To Be Announced (“TBAs”) in the Portfolios of Investments. For TBAs, the actual security that will be delivered to fulfill the transaction is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. Certain transactions require the Funds or counterparty to post cash and/or securities as collateral for the netmark-to-market exposure to the other party. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding delayed delivery commitments by segregating or earmarking cash or securities at the custodian.
Purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds’ NAV as if the Funds’ had created a degree of leverage in the 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.
There were no when-issued or delayed delivery securities held by the Funds as of June 30, 2019.
g. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trusts treat each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has
79 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of June 30, 2019 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.
h. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on theex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as contingent payment debt instruments, convertible bonds, defaulted and/ornon-income producing securities, deferred trustees’ fees, distributionre-designations, taxable over-distribution, foreign currency gains and losses, partnership basis adjustments, net operating losses, passive foreign investment company adjustments, paydown gains and losses 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 contingent payment debt instruments, convertible bonds, partnership basis adjustments, defaulted and/ornon-income producing securities, deferred Trustees’ fees, forward foreign currency contractmark-to-market, passive foreign investment company adjustments, premium amortization, perpetual bond adjustments and wash

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

sales. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains are reported as distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the period ended (year ended for Multi-Asset Income Fund) December 31, 2018 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2018 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
High Income Fund | | $ | 2,342,939 | | | $ | 469,860 | | | $ | 2,812,799 | |
Investment Grade Bond Fund | | | 44,211,096 | | | | 26,591,753 | | | | 70,802,849 | |
Multi-Asset Income Fund | | | 6,314,655 | | | | 2,864,723 | | | | 9,179,378 | |
Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed inper-share amounts, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.
As of December 31, 2018, capital loss carryforwards and late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | High Income Fund | | | Investment Grade Bond Fund | | | Multi-Asset Income Fund | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
* | Under current tax law, capital losses, foreign currency losses, and losses on passive foreign investment companies and contingent payment debt instruments after October 31 or December 31, as applicable, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following taxable year. Investment Grade Bond Fund and Multi-Asset Income Fund are deferring capital losses. |

As of June 30, 2019, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis was approximately as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | High Income Fund | | | Investment Grade Bond Fund | | | Multi-Asset Income Fund | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investments | | $ | (624,332 | ) | | $ | 315,364,350 | | | $ | 1,645,232 | |
Foreign currency translations | | | — | | | | 952,169 | | | | (60,411 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total unrealized appreciation | | $ | (624,332 | ) | | $ | 316,316,519 | | | $ | 1,584,821 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
As of June 30, 2019, the tax cost of investments (including derivatives, if applicable) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a federal tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | High Income Fund | | | Investment Grade Bond Fund | | | Multi-Asset Income Fund | |
Federal tax cost | | $ | 153,009,979 | | | $ | 5,167,484,750 | | | $ | 104,266,374 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Gross tax appreciation | | $ | 5,198,386 | | | $ | 335,269,168 | | | $ | 4,024,951 | |
Gross tax depreciation | | | (5,822,718 | ) | | | (18,953,218 | ) | | | (2,439,115 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | | $ | (624,332 | ) | | $ | 316,315,950 | | | $ | 1,585,836 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Such adjustments are primarily due to wash sales.
The difference between these amounts and those reported in the preceding table are primarily attributable to foreign currencymark-to-market.
i. Senior Loans. Each Fund may invest in senior loans to corporate, governmental or other borrowers. Senior loans, which include both secured and unsecured loans made by banks and other financial institutions to corporate customers, typically hold the most senior position in a borrower’s capital structure, may be secured by the borrower’s assets and have interest rates that reset frequently. Senior Loans can include term loans, revolving credit facility loans and second lien loans. A senior loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the senior loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Large loans may be shared or syndicated among several lenders. A Fund may enter into the primary syndicate for a loan or it may also purchase all or a portion of loans from other lenders (sometimes referred to as loan assignments), in either case becoming a direct lender. Senior loans outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
High Income Fund and Multi-Asset Income Fund held senior loans as of June 30, 2019.
| 82
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
j. Loan Participations. A Fund’s investments in senior loans may be in the form of participations in loans. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the party from whom the Fund has purchased the participation and only upon receipt by that party of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement or to vote on matters arising under the loan agreement. Thus, a Fund may be subject to credit risk from both the party from whom it purchased the loan participation and the borrower. Additionally, a Fund may have minimal control over the terms of any loan modification. Loan participations outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
High Income Fund held loan participations as of June 30, 2019.
k. Collateralized Loan Obligations. Certain Funds may invest in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). A CLO is a type of asset-backed security designed to redirect the cash flows from a pool of leveraged loans to investors based on their risk preferences. Cash flows from a CLO are split into two or more portions, called tranches, varying in risk and yield. The risk of an investment in a CLO depends largely on the type of the collateralized securities and the class of the instrument in which a Fund invests. The intent of the Funds when investing in CLOs is to purchase only higher level, investment grade level select tranches. CLOs outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Investment Grade Bond Fund held collateralized loan obligations as of June 30, 2019.
l. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements aretri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. As of June 30, 2019, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
m. 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
83 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
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 bynon-U.S. Governments andnon-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
n. 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.
o. Change in Accounting Policy. The Funds have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2017-08. Under the new standard, certain debt securities with non-contingent call features purchased at a premium are amortized to the earliest call date. In accordance with the transition provisions of the standard, the Funds applied the new standard on a modified retrospective basis beginning with the fiscal period ended June 30, 2019. This change in accounting policy resulted in reclassifications to capital accounts as of the beginning of the period, but had no impact on the net asset value of the Funds.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and |
| 84
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
| • | | 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 Funds’ pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds do not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of June 30, 2019, at value:

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that the Funds used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts.

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 June 30, 2019, the Funds engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes.

These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse Natixis Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts(sub-transfer agent fees) paid to Natixis Distribution are subject to a currentper-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

8. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, entered into a $400,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and certain other legal fees in connection with the line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected as legal fees and/or miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations.

within an omnibus account, where the omnibus account has at least $1,000,000, are not required to meet the investment minimum. There is no subsequent investment minimum for these shares. In its sole discretion, the Distributor may waive the investment minimum requirement for accounts as to which the Distributor reasonably believes will have enough assets to exceed the investment minimum requirement within a relatively short period of time following the establishment date of such accounts in Class N. If, after two years, an account’s value does not exceed the investment minimum requirement, the Distributor and the Fund reserve the right to redeem such account.

Effective July 1, 2019, Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to limit the amount of the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to 1.00%, 1.75%, 0.70%, 1.00% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, C, N, T and Y shares, respectively, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, and organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2021.
Accordingly, the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table and the Example table within the section “Fund Fees & Expenses” are amended and restated as follows with respect to the Fund:

This page not part of shareholder report
| is in effect through April 30, 2021 and may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Adviser will be permitted to recover, on a class by class basis, management fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed to the extent that expenses in later periods fall below the applicable expense limitations for Class A, C, N, T and Y shares. The Fund will not be obligated to repay any such waived/reimbursed fees and expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed. |

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods (except where indicated). The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the example is based on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement assuming that such waivers and/or reimbursements will only be in place through the dates noted above and on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the remaining periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
