Investment Goal
The Fund seeks high current income plus the opportunity for capital appreciation to produce a high total return.
Market Conditions
The fixed income markets produced robust returns in 2019, reflecting global central banks’ shift to more accommodative policies. A backdrop of moderate economic growth and low inflation provided the US Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) with the latitude to lower interest rates by a quarter point on three occasions in the span from July to October. While the Fed subsequently made it clear that it was unlikely to enact any further cuts in the near future barring a meaningful slowdown in growth, investors remained confident that it would keep rates steady throughout 2020. A number of other world central banks followed the Fed’s move toward easier policy, highlighted by the European Central Bank’s pledge to restart its stimulative quantitative easing program.
US Treasuries performed well in this environment, with falling yields (and rising prices) for bonds of all maturities. The yield on the bellwether 10-year note fell from 2.69% to 1.92% in 2019, while the two-year issue moved from 2.48% to 1.58%. As a result, the yield curve steepened compared to its level of December 31, 2018. The Treasury market reached its peak in late August, at which point yields began to tick higher as investors factored in improving economic data and the apparently low likelihood of further cuts in the coming year.
High-grade corporate bonds performed very well and finished the year as one of the best performing areas of the bond market. In addition to benefiting from the decline in Treasury yields, the asset class was helped by continued spread compression and elevated demand for high quality investments.
Lower-quality corporate debt also rallied in 2019 as the search for yield continued. The category was boosted by broad strength across higher-risk assets, an accommodative Fed and a benign economic outlook for 2020.
Domestic inflation remained tame, mirroring a trend that was in place across the globe. After flirting with the 2% level in late 2018, US core personal consumption expenditure inflation (which excludes food and energy) settled into a range between 1.5% and 1.7% from February onward. Low inflation was one of the key factors providing the Fed and foreign central banks with the ability to loosen policy in order to address slowing growth.

Performance Results
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2019, Class Y shares of the Loomis Sayles High Income Fund returned 12.52% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, which returned 14.32%.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Security selection was the primary source of underperformance for the year. Within convertibles, selected energy holdings weighed on returns. Allocations to securitized issues and defensive reserve-like positions were also detractors as they underperformed higher-yielding securities during the period.
The Fund’s longer-than-benchmark positioning with respect to duration (and corresponding interest rate sensitivity) aided relative performance as yields declined over the period. Emerging market credit exposure positively contributed to performance as well, led by basic industry, consumer non-cyclical and government-related names. Finally, security selection within investment grade credit positively impacted performance during the year, most notably holdings of electric, banking and technology issues.
Outlook
We continue to believe we are late in the credit cycle1 rather than at the end of it. Probabilities of a shift to a downturn in the cycle declined over the fourth quarter as the Fed provided additional rate cuts, a phase one deal with China became increasingly likely and odds of a no-deal Brexit declined. We do not see the US economy sliding into recession in 2020. These developments fueled further support for corporate bonds and risk assets, driving valuations up and delivering a strong year for fixed income assets in 2019.
Our macro outlook remains benign and the market backdrop has largely remained supportive. We believe that Fed rate cuts and relatively good news on trade and Brexit will allow the United States to emerge from a third “mini cycle” slow down within this long running late cycle phase without a recession. We expect global manufacturing to continue to improve into 2020 as uncertainty regarding global trade declines. We anticipate that slow, but positive, global growth will continue and that this will help support mid-single digit corporate profit growth and allow for reasonably strong corporate credit metrics in 2020.
We expect the US Fed to remain on hold for most, if not all, of 2020. Inflation remains well contained. Overall yield levels in the United States should remain within current established ranges, although there could be some modest upward pressure on yields should the global macro environment firm more quickly on better-than-expected news on the trade front. From a duration perspective, we remain modestly short relative to the broad market. Nonetheless, global developed market yields will likely remain low and relatively high US yields should be a supportive technical factor for US bonds.
The double-barreled market rally of lower yields and tighter spreads has pushed valuations on corporate bonds higher. High yield and investment grade corporate bond risk premiums declined over the course of 2019. While we believe that the global demand for yield and a continued late cycle environment can support spreads at current levels, we expect returns to be

based more on carry in 2020. We believe corporate credit quality will continue to marginally decline but not enough to cause a dramatic move wider in spreads or a large uptick in corporate defaults. That said, we retain a cautious and “up in quality” bias. By historic standards we have less exposure to high yield bonds than usual, while retaining relatively high liquidity which can be deployed should opportunities develop within the sector.
We continue to strive for positive issue selection through our credit research efforts. Our portfolios are dominated by credits we believe are attractively priced relative to the credit quality we assign them. Communications and cable and media issues account for the bulk of this exposure, along with select areas within consumer cyclical. We believe that opportunities for positive carry in emerging market corporate bonds could expand should global growth strengthen. While we have pulled back some of our energy exposure, we believe sentiment regarding the sector has become too negative relative to the actual fundamentals. Accordingly, we believe there is upside potential for some of our best picks in this sector.
We also remain comfortable with the securitized sector, which largely lagged the bigger moves in other fixed income sectors in 2019. We still like the defensive nature of the sector based on good carry for higher quality.
Overall, we believe that the large rally seen in 2019 presents a challenge to fixed income return potential in 2020. However, some of those same market drivers could provide support as we enter a new year. These include global demand for yield, reduced uncertainty on global trade and Brexit, and positive global growth. The late cycle environment is likely to continue. We remain focused on maintaining favorable carry/yield, seeking to identify attractively priced bonds and retaining the liquidity and flexibility to adapt should the benign market conditions deteriorate.

Performance Results
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2019, Class Y shares of the Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund returned 9.04% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 9.71%.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The Fund’s overall shorter-than-benchmark positioning with respect to duration weighed on return as interest rates declined over the period. Exposure to securitized issues had the largest negative impact on relative performance as the sector lagged both corporate credit and Treasuries. Additionally, holdings of defensive reserve-like positions detracted as these underperformed higher-yielding issues during the period.
A significant underweight to US Treasuries bolstered relative performance. An allocation to high yield corporate credit positively impacted performance during the year, aided by consumer non-cyclical, energy and banking names. Emerging market credit exposure also generated positive relative return, with metals & mining and government-related issues as top performers.
Outlook
We continue to believe we are late in the credit cycle1 rather than at the end of it. Probabilities of a shift to a downturn in the cycle declined over the fourth quarter as the Fed provided additional rate cuts, a phase one deal with China became increasingly likely and odds of a no-deal Brexit declined.

Investment Goal
The Fund seeks current income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.
Market Conditions
Subdued inflation has allowed central banks to maintain largely accommodative policies, which have supported risk assets. The US Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) indication that it will pause has given way to the expectation of yields to be tightly range bound.
Despite persistently soft data, some signs have been seen to indicate that the manufacturing slowdown may be bottoming out. Easy monetary policy has largely been used to counteract anemic global growth encumbered by the manufacturing slowdown.
Risk assets have been supported by the macro risk landscape softening in several regards since the end of the previous year. Central banks have shown a willingness to continue economic stimulus through monetary policy. The likelihood of a no deal Brexit appears to have diminished with negotiations spanning multiple Brexit deadlines. Trade negotiations between China and the US seem to have taken on a less tenuous tone; suggesting a lower probability of escalation and higher probability of a “phase one” agreement being reached.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2019, Class Y shares of the Loomis Sayles Multi-Asset Income Fund returned 15.80% at net asset value. The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 8.72%.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Our allocation to US dividend-paying equities provided the largest positive contribution to performance for the year. During the period, markets remained focused on the direction of the US/China trade negotiations, the state of the Chinese economy and central bank policy in response to anemic growth and soft manufacturing data. Equity markets were assisted by a Fed that remained largely supportive throughout the year.
Our allocation to preferred stock benefited from a strong equity market and accommodative central bank policy throughout the period. In addition, the Fund’s focus on financial issues within preferreds added to the performance.
Exposure to emerging market fixed income assets aided performance despite a strong dollar. The perceived softening of Chinese trade-related macro risks buoyed the asset class. There remains a concern that a protracted trade conflict between the United States and
9 |
Table of Contents
China could exacerbate the global growth slowdown and increase pressure on export-driven economies. The focus within emerging markets remains on China regarding both its trade relations with the US and its pace of growth. Within the portfolio, the most significant contributions came from our Brazilian, Qatari and South African exposures.
An allocation to bank loan assets was the largest detractor during the year. The accommodative tack taken by the Fed throughout the year created headwinds for floating rate instruments. Within the portfolio, energy issues had the largest negative impact on performance.
Outlook
While near-term downside risks remain present, we expect to exit the manufacturing slowdown without an economy-wide recession. This view hinges on the idea that the Fed will remain supportive and continue accommodative monetary policy. We project the Fed to remain on hold for the next twelve months. Chair Powell has indicated that a rate cut is unlikely in the near term, barring any significant, unexpected increase in inflation acceleration.
We maintain our cautious outlook on risk sentiment. While the Fed appears likely to continue to maintain an accommodative monetary policy, China’s economic recovery is faltering and risk related to the United States/China trade war remains despite an increased likelihood of a phase one agreement. Markets will remain focused on Chinese stimulus as a potential catalyst for global growth. So far, however, Chinese policy makers have been reluctant to utilize all options available, instead favoring an incremental approach that emphasizes leverage stabilization.
Despite some volatility, the US dollar has essentially traded within a range. We expect a continuation of this theme, which should be supportive for risk assets in general. While there was some dollar weakening during October, we haven’t seen much of a breakout in either direction since. The perception of softening risks related to United States/China trade has caused the dollar’s recent bid as a safe-haven to largely evaporate. Volatility shocks and weakening risk appetite are factors that could prove constructive for the dollar.
The fund closed as of February 3, 2020, and as it closed, primary consideration was given to clients and their interests. There was no unusual market action that affected our trading of the portfolio during liquidation. All fund assets were subsequently redeemed or distributed to fund shareholders.

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 | Prior to the inception of Class Y shares (12/3/2012), performance is that of Class A shares and reflects the higher net expenses of that share class. |
2 | Class C share performance assumes a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase. |
3 | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that covers the U.S.-dollar denominated, investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market of SEC-registered securities. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage-backed securities sectors. |
4 | S&P 500® Index is a widely recognized measure of U.S. stock market performance. It is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation, among other factors. |
5 | Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower. |
6 | Prior to the stock market close August 31, 2015, the Fund had multiple subadvisers. The performance results shown above for the periods prior to the stock market close August 31, 2015 reflect results achieved by those subadvisers using different investment strategies. |
7 | 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 July 1, 2019 through December 31, 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.
