PORTFOLIO REVIEW
In a difficult period for the securities markets, the Fund held up better than its Benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The Fund’s outperformance was primarily due to good stock selection in the materials and processing, healthcare, consumer discretionary and technology sectors. Stock selection in the financial services and utilities sectors detracted from relative performance.
The materials and processing and energy sectors were the only sectors posting positive absolute returns for the Fund. Good stock selection in the overweight materials sector had the greatest positive impact on performance, both in absolute and relative terms. Our strongest performers included steel and fertilizer stocks, which benefited from rising commodity prices, supported by structural imbalances between supply and demand. Mosaic, a phosphate and potash producer, was the Fund’s top performer. Prices and cash margins for both nutrients have risen sharply, due to strong demand, low inventories and supply constraints. We were modestly underweight in energy, but our holdings outperformed the Benchmark’s energy stocks. Our top contributors included two exploration and production companies, Range Resources and Southwestern Energy.
The Fund’s weakest sector on an absolute basis was financial services. The technology and consumer discretionary sectors were also weak on an absolute basis, but when viewed on a relative basis, these sectors added value because of good stock selection. In the first quarter of 2008, virtually every company related to the capital markets came under pressure, due to the turmoil in the credit markets. For example, FCStone, a commodities broker and consultant, plunged in value due to its perceived exposure to counterparty credit risk and concerns that trading volumes could suffer if hedge fund clients were forced to deleverage. We sold the stock. In technology, the Fund experienced losses in telecommunication equipment and computer stocks, and our solar stocks were hit by profit-taking. Nevertheless, our position in First Solar, a producer of solar modules, was a top contributor. We believe the company’s proprietary technology gives it a cost advantage relative to competitors, and management has done an exceptional job ramping up new capacity.
NII Holdings, a provider of wireless communication services in Latin America, detracted from the Fund’s performance. The company reported disappointing net subscriber additions in its two largest markets, Mexico and Brazil, and announced price cuts to match competitor promotions. We sold the position.
OUTLOOK
Uncertainty and fear often create attractive buying opportunities, as emotion overcomes fundamentals. We anticipate improving conditions in the equity markets during 2008. We believe pessimism is high, risk appetites are low, and concerns about corporate profit growth may be overstated. In our view, this suggests that valuations are attractive, and the market is well-positioned for a recovery if the fog of uncertainty begins to clear and investors return to looking at normalized earnings and cash-flow growth rates.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than larger, more established companies. The secondary market for these stocks may be less liquid, which could adversely impact the Fund’s value. Growth funds involve increased risks, in part, because the value of the underlying securities is based on future expectations that may or may not be met.
The Fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The Fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a Fund’s investments to decline. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmarks, the Russell 2000 Growth and the Russell 2000 Indices, for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Poor stock selection in the financial services and healthcare sectors accounted for the majority of the performance shortfall versus the Benchmarks.
On an absolute basis, energy was the only sector in the Fund’s portfolio that offered a positive return for the period. The technology, healthcare and consumer discretionary sectors made the largest negative contributions to the Fund’s absolute performance. Within these sectors, Inverness Medical Innovations, a diagnostic testing company; Life Time Fitness, a nationwide owner of health clubs; and Tessera Technologies, a semiconductor company, were among the Fund’s worst performers. Each of these positions was sold.
In light of the recent stock market volatility, we sought to limit the Fund’s risk by reducing exposure to the technology and financial services sectors. In financial services, we cut exposure to companies that were influenced by the ongoing credit crisis. In the technology sector, we reduced exposure to the semiconductor industry, which was experiencing a cyclical slowdown.
We also reduced the Fund’s consumer discretionary exposure aggressively in the fourth quarter of 2007, as it became evident the US consumer was becoming more cautious about the economy, but we started adding back exposure in the first quarter of 2008. To offset these reductions, we increased the Fund’s exposure to the healthcare, producer durables and energy sectors.
OUTLOOK
Although we expected some challenges as the market adjusted to the economic slowdown, the depth of the markets’ sell-off across nearly every sector was larger than we had anticipated. Turmoil in the credit markets led to fears about the financial system’s vulnerability, and this, combined with growing inflationary pressures, fueled the rise in volatility. Economic uncertainty is never pleasant, but the market has a long history of coping with it. The Federal Reserve has been working to support the economy and instill order and confidence in the financial markets.
Uncertainty and fear often create attractive buying opportunities, as emotion overcomes fundamentals. We anticipate improvements in the equity markets during 2008. We believe pessimism is high, risk appetites are low, and concerns about corporate profit growth may be overstated. In our view, this suggests valuations are attractive, and the market is well-positioned for a recovery if the fog of uncertainty begins to clear and investors return to looking at normalized earnings and cash-flow growth rates.

We expect the stocks of companies that benefit from corporate spending, non-US earnings streams and strong emerging-market economies to perform better than those tied to the US economy in general and to US consumer spending in particular.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed one of its Benchmarks, the Russell 2000 Value Index, and outperformed its other Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, during the six months ended March 31, 2008. The Fund’s underperformance was primarily due to poor stock selection in the financial services and energy sectors. However, stock selection in the autos and transportation and technology sectors aided the Fund’s relative performance.
The Fund’s worst performing sector was financial services. Our cautious stance and underweight positions were positive factors late in 2007, but we were not positioned for the surprising resilience demonstrated by small banks and real estate investment trusts in early 2008. They held up remarkably well, despite significantly negative revisions to earnings estimates, a broadening of the liquidity crisis, and the near collapse of several high-profile financial institutions. In addition, a handful of financial services names suffered, from a fundamental perspective, including National Financial Partners, a distributor of financial services products to businesses and individuals, and Advanta Corp., a provider of credit cards and related products to business. We sold both positions.
The automotive and transportation sector was one of the Fund’s strongest positions. Transportation stocks generally perform well in anticipation of an economic recovery after a recession. Short-line railroad operator Genesee & Wyoming, which has been in the portfolio for a long time, paced the sector with a strongly positive return.
“Broken-deal” stocks are a new theme pursued in the portfolio as opportunities appeared. These are situations where leveraged buyouts collapsed as buyers and banks felt the pressure of the weakening debt and credit markets, causing the deals to fall through. These situations included new positions in Alliance Data Systems, a financial data-services provider, Myers Industries, a rubber and plastics manufacturer, and PHH Corp., a provider of mortgage management services.
OUTLOOK
Although we expected some challenges as the market adjusted to the economic slowdown, the depth of the markets’ sell-off across nearly every sector was larger than we had anticipated. Turmoil in the credit markets led to fears about the financial system’s vulnerability. This, along with growing inflation pressures, fueled the rise in volatility. Economic uncertainty is never pleasant, but the market has a long history of coping with it. The Federal Reserve has been working to support the economy and instill order and confidence in the financial markets.

We believe pessimism is high, risk appetites are low, and concerns over corporate profit growth may be overstated. In our view, this suggests valuations are attractive, and the market is well-positioned for a recovery if the fog of uncertainty begins to clear and investors return to looking at normalized earnings and cash-flow growth rates.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to stock selection and an underweight in the financials sector, which was the worst-performing sector for the period. For example, our positions in Aflac and State Street were both up significantly, while the Benchmark financials fell sharply. In addition, our stock selection in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors helped performance, while our underweights in consumer staples and utilities, which outperformed during the period, modestly detracted from relative results.
On an absolute basis, consumer staples and energy were the only sectors that generated a positive total return for the Fund. In the consumer staples sector, Alberto-Culver and Colgate-Palmolive both appreciated significantly, while the S&P 500 Index’s consumer staples sector only managed a small gain. Alberto-Culver specializes in personal care products and manufactures such brand names as Tresemme and Nexxus. The company’s operating profit margins have improved due to double-digit revenue growth and cost savings from more efficient manufacturing operations. Colgate-Palmolive, which has been a steady wealth creator, was added to the Fund in the fourth quarter at what appeared to be an attractive valuation relative to other consumer staples companies. In the energy sector, Devon Energy and Transocean were among our best performers. Devon Energy explores and produces oil and gas and has recently witnessed a favorable acceleration in earnings. Devon has been a Fund holding for over seven years. The world’s largest offshore drilling contractor, Transocean last year merged with another drilling company, Global Santa Fe.
The information technology, industrials and financials sectors—the Fund’s largest sector weights—had the greatest negative impact on absolute return. Within information technology, Cisco Systems was among the Fund’s worst performers, declining on concerns about worldwide economic growth. The company supplies such data networking products as routers for the internet. While Cisco detracted from performance for the period, the stock has been a positive contributor to investment returns following our increased allocation in early 2006. We believe the stock remains attractive, so we took advantage of low prices to modestly add to our position during the period. Overall, though, we reduced the Fund’s information technology weighting.
In the industrials sector, Boeing experienced delays in delivering its new aircraft, which resulted in a strong stock-price decline. Financial stocks faced a series of ongoing challenges primarily related to asset write-downs resulting from the subprime lending crisis, which led to disappointing performance. We reduced the Fund’s financial holdings by selling positions in Allstate, Citigroup and Zions, and by reducing positions in Goldman Sachs and State Street.
OUTLOOK
Although we expected some challenges as the market adjusted to the economic slowdown, the depth of the sell-off across nearly every sector was larger than we had anticipated. Turmoil in the credit markets led to fears about the financial system’s vulnerability, and this, coupled with growing inflationary pressures, fueled the

rise in volatility. Economic and market uncertainty is never pleasant, but the market has a long history of coping with it. The Federal Reserve has been working to support the economy and instill order and confidence in the financial markets.
Uncertainty and fear often create attractive buying opportunities, as emotion overcomes investors’ ability to evaluate fundamentals. We anticipate improvements in the equity markets during 2008. We believe pessimism is high, risk appetites are low, and concerns about corporate profit growth may be overstated. In our view, this suggests that valuations are attractive and the market is well-positioned for a recovery, if the fog of uncertainty begins to clear and investors return to looking at normalized earnings and cash-flow growth rates.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans, qualified plans, education savings accounts or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares to be greater than the return after taxes on distribution or even the return before taxes.
Proxy Voting Information
A description of the Funds’ proxy voting policies and procedures is available without charge, upon request, (i) by calling Loomis Sayles at 800-633-3330; (ii) on the Funds’ website, www.loomissayles.com, and (iii) on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. Information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12 months ended June 30, 2007 is available on (i) the Funds’ website and (ii) the SEC’s website.
Quarterly Portfolio Schedules
The Funds file a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and certain exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other Fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in the Funds’ prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The first line in the table of each Fund shows the actual amount of Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from October 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. 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.
9
Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)
1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trusts” and each a “Trust”) are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Each Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trusts in multiple series. Shares of Loomis Sayles Tax-Managed Equity Fund were first registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) effective March 7, 1997 (subsequent to its commencement of investment operations). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to certain equity funds of the Trusts; the financial statements for the remaining equity funds and the fixed income funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Loomis Sayles Funds I:
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Funds II:
Loomis Sayles Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Mid Cap Growth Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “Tax-Managed Equity Fund”)
Each Fund offers Institutional Class Shares. Mid Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund also offer Retail Class Shares. In addition, Small Cap Value Fund offers Admin Class Shares.
Most expenses of the Trusts can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trusts. Expenses of a fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees applicable to such class). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a fund if the fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate dividends from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
a. Security Valuation. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the 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. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.
The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.
41
b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. The Small Cap Value Fund estimates the recharacterization of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates caused by fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
Each Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of appropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the price of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge a Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end.
All contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable exchange rates and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. At March 31, 2008, there were no open forward currency contracts.
e. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. Each Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains, at least annually. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) was issued and became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has performed an analysis of the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examinations (tax years ended September 30, 2004-2007) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s conclusions regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance from the FASB, new tax laws, 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.

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 distributions from REITs, net operating losses and redemption in kind 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 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, 2007 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | 2007 Distributions Paid From: |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
Mid Cap Growth Fund | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | | — | | | — | | | — |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 19,298,487 | | | 75,959,602 | | | 95,258,089 |
Tax-Managed Equity Fund | | | 75,417 | | | — | | | 75,417 |
As of September 30, 2007, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward | | Mid Cap Growth Fund | | Small Cap Growth Fund | | Small Cap Value Fund | | Tax-Managed Equity Fund |
Expires September 30, 2010 | | $ | 66,978,246 | | $ | 139,524,244 | | $ | — | | $ | 1,693,070 |
Expires September 30, 2011 | | | 21,142,388 | | | 59,283,040 | | | — | | | 1,662,157 |
Expires September 30, 2012 | | | — | | | — | | | — | | | 110,150 |
Expires September 30, 2013 | | | — | | | — | | | — | | | 17,395 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 88,120,634 | | $ | 198,807,284 | | $ | — | | $ | 3,482,772 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
g. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held at the custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.
h. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value 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 of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value 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. The value of securities on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Funds with respect to such loans at March 31, 2008 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Value of Securities on Loan | | Value of Collateral |
Mid Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 47,347,527 | | $ | 49,772,699 |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | | 49,117,532 | | | 50,220,457 |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 250,993,030 | | | 255,144,557 |
Tax-Managed Equity Fund | | | 2,216,019 | | | 2,250,228 |
43
i. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability 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 Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
j. New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management has evaluated the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and believes that such impact will be limited to expanded disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements regarding inputs used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments and will not have a material impact on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.
In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | Purchases | | Sales |
Mid Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 149,071,907 | | $ | 78,074,079 |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | | 94,755,704 | | | 29,459,975 |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 379,573,777 | | | 289,781,724 |
Tax-Managed Equity Fund | | | 1,622,344 | | | 1,264,822 |
4. 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 |
Mid Cap Growth Fund | | 0.75% |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | 0.75% |
Small Cap Value Fund | | 0.75% |
Tax-Managed Equity Fund | | 0.50% |
Loomis Sayles has given binding undertakings to the Funds to reduce management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses associated with the Funds to limit their operating expenses. These undertakings are in effect until January 31, 2009 and will be reevaluated on an annual basis. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreements were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets |
Fund | | Institutional Class | | Retail Class | | Admin Class |
Mid Cap Growth Fund | | 1.00% | | 1.25% | | — |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | 1.00% | | 1.25% | | — |
Small Cap Value Fund | | 0.90% | | 1.15% | | 1.40% |
Tax-Managed Equity Fund | | 0.65% | | — | | — |

Under the respective Retail Class and Admin Class Plans, each Fund pays Natixis Distributors a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Retail Class and Admin Class Shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Natixis Distributors in providing personal services to investors in Retail Class and Admin Class Shares and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued
March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)
receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $65,000. Each independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the Funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each Fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
Prior to January 1, 2008, each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $55,000.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Each participating Trustee will receive an amount equal to the value that such deferred compensation would have been had it been invested in a designated Fund or certain other Funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series on the normal payment date. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
f. Redemption Fees. Shareholders of Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund are charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeem, including redeeming by exchange, any class of shares of such Funds within 60 days of their acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee is intended to offset the costs to the Funds of short-term trading, such as portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The redemption fee is deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and is paid to the Fund.
The “first-in, first-out” method is used to determine the holding period of redeemed or exchanged shares, which means that if a shareholder acquired shares on different days, the shares acquired first will be redeemed or exchanged first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies. A new holding period begins with each purchase or exchange. These fees are accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
5. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% 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. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Funds had no borrowings under this agreement.
Prior to March 12, 2008, each fund together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $75,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman US Government/Credit Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to poor performance from our high yield bond holdings and an underweight in securities with AAA and A ratings.
Most high yield bonds declined in value during the period, notably in the industrial sector, and we had a large allocation to this sector. In the investment grade arena, finance companies were bogged down by their exposure to the subprime market and further stymied by the lack of market liquidity. Communication issues also struggled, as investors grew increasingly concerned about access to capital markets. In addition, consumer cyclicals weighed on returns, in large part because of their exposure to higher energy costs and sagging demand from an increasingly cash-strapped public.
Inflation fears dragged down our positions in the Canadian dollar, British pound and Icelandic krona, while illiquidity and risk-aversion hampered the Fund’s convertible bonds.
On the upside, our defensive duration strategy had a positive influence on performance. From a quality perspective, bonds rated AA contributed the majority of positive returns. Our exposure to the brokerage sector helped performance, including our position in Bear Stearns, which rallied after the Federal Reserve facilitated JP Morgan’s purchase of the ailing firm. Other top industry performers included energy providers, which benefited from record-high commodity prices, and banking firms. Capital infusions from sovereign funds to major banking corporations hit by the subprime crisis also bolstered returns in the first half of the period.
Our currency positions in the Malaysian ringgit and the Singapore and Australian dollar contributed positively to performance. In addition, the Mexican peso recovered to become the overall currency leader for the period.
OUTLOOK
Although the US economy has weakened, we see pockets of strength. For example, the industrial sector appears to be vital relative to other economic areas; the weak US dollar is improving the outlook for exports; corporate spending remains disciplined; and non-residential construction is booming. We believe the Federal Reserve will ease once more before holding the fed funds target steady at 2.00%, while continuing to use other methods to maintain liquidity, as necessary. By year-end, we believe the economy may show signs of recovery.
FUND FACTS
Symbol | Institutional: LSBDX;
Retail: LSBRX; Admin: LBFAX
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 35% of assets in lower rated fixed-income securities and up to 20% of its assets in preferred stocks. 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.

1
In our view, valuations outside the Treasury sector are attractive. The shaky economy poses risks, but the market appears to have priced in a more dismal scenario than we expect. Longer-term, we believe risk spreads should become less widespread, enabling markets to price risk more appropriately. Specific US high yield securities may offer compelling relative value, but the potential for further fallout calls for caution. Near-term, we believe the US dollar may have further downside potential, as non-Japanese Asian currencies strengthen.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
The Fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment. Securities issued by US government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the US government. The Fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The Fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a Fund’s investments to decline.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman US Government/Credit Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to poor performance from our high yield bond holdings and an underweight in US Treasurys and other securities with AAA ratings.
Most of the high yield market suffered during the period, especially in the industrial sector, where our large allocation detracted from results. In the investment grade arena, communication issues struggled as investors grew increasingly concerned about access to capital markets. Consumer cyclicals also weighed on returns, partly because of their exposure to higher energy costs and sagging demand from an increasingly cash-strapped public. In addition, finance companies were bogged down by their exposure to the subprime market and the lack of market liquidity.
Our positions in the Canadian dollar, British pound and Icelandic krona were hurt by inflation fears, while the Fund’s convertible bonds suffered from illiquidity and risk aversion.
Our defensive duration strategy was a positive influence on performance. From a quality perspective, bonds rated A and AA were the strongest performers during the period. Our exposure to the insurance and banking industries and sovereign funds helped performance. Capital infusions from sovereign funds to major banking corporations hit by the subprime crisis bolstered returns in the first half of the period.
Our currency positions in the Singapore and New Zealand dollar and the Brazilian real contributed positively to performance. In addition, the Mexican peso recovered to become the overall currency leader for the period.
OUTLOOK
Although the US economy has weakened, we see pockets of strength. For example, the industrial sector is showing relative strength; the weak US dollar may stimulate business for export companies; corporate spending remains disciplined; and nonresidential construction is booming. We believe the Federal Reserve will ease once more before holding the fed funds target rate steady at 2.00%, while continuing to use other methods to maintain liquidity, as necessary. By year-end, we believe the economy may show signs of recovery.
In our view, valuations outside the Treasury sector remain attractive. The shaky economy poses risks, but bond valuations appear to reflect a more dismal scenario than we expect. Longer-term, we believe risk spreads should become less widespread, enabling markets to price risk

Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund

Ken Buntrock, CFA, CIC

Manager since September 2000

Lynda Schweitzer, CFA
Manager since February 2007
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman Global Aggregate Bond Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to its overweight in corporate bonds. With the exception of commodities, most asset classes underperformed government bonds during the period.
We added to the Fund’s corporate bond holdings during the period by lowering the Fund’s exposure to high-quality government, quasi-government and securitized issuers. This strategy hurt relative performance, as the investment grade and high yield bond markets underperformed government bonds in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe. However, we began to see the benefits of the Fund’s sector positioning in the second half of March, as spreads stabilized or tightened.
Our country allocation was marginally positive. An underweight position in Canada and overweight positions in Malaysia, Poland and Sweden detracted, while our overweight in the US bond market and underweight in euro-denominated issues enhanced performance. The Fund’s overall currency strategy detracted from relative performance, as gains in select Southeast Asian and euro-peripheral currencies could not offset the negative impact of our underweight positions in the yen and euro.
Our duration/yield curve positioning had a slightly positive impact on relative performance. A longer-than-Benchmark duration in the United States and Europe enhanced returns, as deteriorating market conditions led to lower bond yields. We extended duration in the yen-pay market to a Benchmark-neutral position, but our short-duration position detracted from performance earlier in the period.
OUTLOOK
Credit spreads continued to widen in March and turmoil may have peaked with the collapse of Bear Stearns, a significant Federal Reserve rate cut, and the opening of the discount window to US broker-dealers. We believe US authorities responded to a heart attack in the financial system with the equivalent of a bypass operation. With the Federal Reserve apparently determined not to let broker/dealers fail and allowing them to borrow at a discount, we believe the upward spiral in risk aversion will be capped, and risk spreads will become more issue-specific.
Because we anticipate a relatively mild US recession, we favor corporate bonds, including select high yield names with stable cash flow. We are adding longer maturity bonds, increasing spread duration as a result, but we have reduced Treasury exposure. We believe near term trends suggest wider economic growth and interest rate gaps with Europe, meaning downside risks persist for the US dollar. We are duration-neutral in the yen and euro.

The prospect of a near term correction in the commodities markets is keeping us underweight in the volatile commodity currencies.
Based on our outlook, we want the Fund to have greater exposure to the US dollar and to credit spreads long term, while maintaining its overweight in non-Japanese Asian currencies.

FUND AND MANAGER REVIEW
Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund

John Hyll
Manager since January 2003

Cliff Rowe, CFA
Manager since January 2003
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to the Fund’s overweight exposure to high yield bonds, which experienced significant spread widening during the period.
The real yield on 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) declined by 117 basis points during the period to 1.1%. Five year TIPS declined even further, falling 206 basis points to 0.11%. Declining yields and the steepening of the yield curve reflected investors’ gloomy outlook for employment and overall economic growth. The Federal Reserve maintained an aggressive easing policy, lowering the fed funds target rate by 250 basis points to 2.25% to help temper the downside risks to the economy.
The main driver of the Fund’s performance was its exposure to US TIPS, which represented approximately 80% of the Fund’s total net assets at the end of March 2008. Declining interest rates, slightly widening breakevens and headlines about inflation led to positive results for TIPS. The Fund’s longer average duration contributed to its performance. On the negative side, the Fund’s laddered maturity structure did not work well as the yield curve steepened.
The Fund’s exposure to the energy sector yielded positive results, as the price of oil soared. However, this was not sufficient to offset negative results from other credit sectors, including telecommunications and financials.
Foreign-currency exposure also contributed positively to performance. Specifically, the Fund’s non-dollar holdings in Mexico benefited from the weakness in the US dollar.
OUTLOOK
Although the US economy has weakened, we see pockets of strength. For example, the industrial sector is showing relative strength; the weak US dollar may stimulate exports; corporate spending remains disciplined; and non-residential construction is booming. We believe the Federal Reserve will ease once more before holding the fed funds target rate steady at 2.00%, while they continue to use other methods to maintain liquidity, as needed. By year-end, we believe the economy may show signs of recovery.
In our view, valuations outside the Treasury sector remain attractive. The shaky economy poses risks, but bond prices appear to reflect a more dismal scenario than we expect. Longer term, risk spreads should become less widespread, enabling markets to price risk more appropriately.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman High Yield Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to allocations and security selection in longer maturity US Treasurys and non-US-dollar corporate bonds.
US Treasurys outperformed other asset classes as yields on government securities rallied. Our allocation to long-duration Treasurys benefited from investors’ risk aversion and provided the bulk of the Fund’s excess return for the period. In addition, non-US-dollar-denominated investments remained a major source of positive performance. In particular, securities denominated in the Brazilian real benefited from the country’s robust local economy and strong currency. Growth in Mexico boosted our peso-based investments, while strong fundamentals supported attractive returns from securities issued in the New Zealand dollar and Thai baht.
Good security selection among investment grade credits added to excess return, with select high-quality financials turning in double-digits gains. While debt issues in below-investment grade financials suffered, an underweight allocation helped us recoup the losses and added to relative performance.
Yield spreads widened to levels not seen in many years, impacting returns on corporate bonds in general and high yield bonds in particular. From an industry perspective, certain financials (including real estate investment trusts and financial companies) and media issues were among the worst performers in absolute terms, but our underweight position relative to the Benchmark helped absolute performance. Conversely, electric, energy and consumer non-cyclical issues all generated positive absolute performance, although they detracted from performance on a relative basis because of our underweight.
OUTLOOK
Although the US economy has weakened, we see pockets of strength. For example, the industrial sector is showing relative strength; the weak US dollar may stimulate US exports; corporate spending remains disciplined; and non-residential construction is booming. We expect the Federal Reserve to ease once more before holding the fed funds target rate steady at 2.00%, while they continue to use other methods to maintain liquidity, as needed.

In our opinion, valuations outside the Treasury sector remain extraordinarily attractive. The shaky economy poses risks, but bond prices appear to reflect a more dismal scenario than we anticipate.

US high yield securities may offer compelling relative value on a security-specific basis, but the potential for further fallout calls for caution. Near term, we believe the US dollar may have further downside potential, as non-Japanese Asian currencies continue to gain strength.

Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund

Neil Burke
Manager since December 2005

Richard Raczkowski
Manager since December 2005
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman US Government/Credit Intermediate Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to continued volatility in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and the Fund’s underweight to Treasurys.
As economic conditions deteriorated and the credit crisis gained momentum investors flocked to safe havens.
The Fund’s underweight position in securities with AAA ratings hurt performance as uncertainty, volatility and negative information concerning the overall health of the market drove risk-averse investors into Treasurys, and higher quality securities. Investors’ flight to safety sharply decreased demand for lower quality bonds throughout the period.
Residential and commercial MBS performed poorly during the period, due to concerns about the subprime market and other troubled mortgage-backed bonds. In the credit sector, economic and liquidity problems hampered most securities, with financial securities among the hardest hit. Securities in the consumer cyclicals sector weighed on returns, reflecting higher energy costs and sagging demand from an increasingly cash-strapped public. Communication issues also struggled, as investors became more concerned about waning access to capital markets.
The Fund’s non-US-dollar holdings contributed to performance, led by the Singapore dollar. In addition, investment grade utilities held up reasonably well, serving as a relative “island of calm” within a turbulent corporate sector. Intermediate and short term MBS and asset-backed securities (ABS) also performed well, but they lagged Treasurys. On an absolute basis, AAA-rated securities (including Treasurys, GE Singapore dollar securities and Freddie Mac pass-through securities) contributed most to performance.
OUTLOOK
Although the US economy has weakened, we see pockets of strength. For example, the industrial sector is relatively robust; the weak US dollar may stimulate US exports; corporate spending remains disciplined; and nonresidential construction is booming. We expect the Federal Reserve to ease once more before holding the fed funds target rate steady at 2.00%, while they continue to use other methods to maintain liquidity, as needed. By year-end, we believe the economy may show signs of recovery.
In our view, valuations outside of the Treasury sector remain attractive. The shaky economy poses risks, but bond prices appear to reflect a more dismal scenario than we anticipate. Longer-term, risk spreads should become less widespread, enabling markets to price risk more appropriately. Specific US high yield securities may offer compelling relative value, but the potential for further fallout calls for caution. Near term, we believe the US dollar may have further downside potential, as non-Japanese Asian currencies continue to strengthen.

For performance current to the most recent month-end, please visit the Loomis Sayles website. Current performance may be higher or lower than quoted.
Returns do not reflect the taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. Periods of less than one year are not annualized. Performance data reflects certain fee reductions and reimbursements, if any, without which performance would be lower.
(a) Since index performance data is not available coincident with the Fund’s inception date, comparative performance is presented from the month end closest to the Fund’s inception date.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
If the credit rating of a security held by the Fund falls below investment grade, the Fund may continue to hold it if Loomis Sayles believes the investment is appropriate. The secondary market for securities that fall below investment grade may lack liquidity and such securities may incur greater risk of default, which may adversely affect the value of the Fund. Foreign countries may have different accounting standards than those of the US. Securities issued by US government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the US government. The Fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The Fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a Fund’s investments to decline. The Fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman US Government/Credit Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to an underweight position in Treasury securities and ongoing spread widening among investment grade and high yield credits. Throughout the period, investors flocked to safe havens, as economic conditions deteriorated, and the credit crisis gained momentum. The turmoil culminated with the Federal Reserve taking historic steps to restore normalcy to the markets, including brokerage access to its lending window and rate cuts totaling 250 basis points, which pushed the fed funds target rate to 2.25%.
A growing fear of recession and increased liquidity concerns weighed on the Fund’s credit positions, causing wider spreads and negative returns. Poor market liquidity, anemic risk appetites and the market’s general crisis of confidence pressured credit valuations. Our high yield exposure, primarily in the telecommunication and cable industries, was hard hit, as investors grew increasingly concerned about access to capital markets.
Despite continued solid performance of the underlying collateral, our AAA-rated home-equity exposure significantly underperformed the broader asset-backed securities (ABS) market, due to ongoing mortgage-related concerns. The Fund’s non-US dollar sector, a former source of strength, also detracted considerably, with our positions in the Canadian dollar and Icelandic krona showing notable weakness.
As investors avoided risk, the Treasury market offered the best performance for the period, and our long-duration strategy in Treasurys contributed positively to performance. In addition, our underweight position in the poor-performing financial sector of the US corporate bond market benefited the Fund.
OUTLOOK
Although the US economy has weakened, we see pockets of strength. For example, we believe the industrial sector is showing relative strength; the weak US dollar is improving the outlook for exports; corporate spending remains disciplined; and non-residential construction is booming. We think the Fed will ease once more before holding the fed funds target steady at 2.00%, while they continue to use other methods to maintain liquidity, as needed. By year-end, we believe the economy may show signs of recovery.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and certain exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other Fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in each Fund’s 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 of shares shows the actual amount of Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from October 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. 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 Period column as shown below for your Class.
The second line in the table for each Class of Fund shares provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AGREEMENT FOR LOOMIS SAYLES BOND FUND
The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. The Contract Review and Governance Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements. After the 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 believe to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreements. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Funds and the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ expenses to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., adviser to each of the Funds (the “Adviser”), and (v) information obtained through the completion of a questionnaire by the Adviser (the Trustees are consulted as to the information requested through that questionnaire). The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also consider other matters such as (i) the Adviser’s financial results and financial condition, (ii) each Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Adviser’s investment staff and its use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (iii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares, (iv) the procedures employed to determine the value of the Funds’ assets, (v) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Adviser and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay Fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, (vi) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies, and (vii) 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 Adviser.
In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board of Trustees that provide detailed information about each Fund’s 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 performance and fee differentials against each Fund’s peer group, 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 its peer group. The portfolio management team for each Fund makes periodic presentations to the Contract Review and Governance Committee and/or the full Board of Trustees, and Funds identified as presenting possible performance concerns may be subject to more frequent board presentations and reviews. In addition, each quarter the Trustees are provided with detailed statistical information about each Fund’s portfolio.
At the June 2007 Board meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, authorized the extension of the Advisory Agreement for the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund (the “Loomis Sayles Bond Fund Agreement”) through November 30, 2007. At the meeting held in November 2007, the Board of Trustees approved the continuation of the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund Agreement through June 30, 2008, and approved an amendment to the advisory fee schedule to add a breakpoint in the advisory fee schedule of 1 basis point at $15 billion. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund Agreement, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. In considering the continuation of the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund Agreement in November 2007, the Trustees considered the information that had been provided to them in the spring in connection with their regularly scheduled consideration of the Agreements, updates to that information, and their discussions at such meetings. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund Agreement included the following:
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Fund and the resources dedicated to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, including recent or planned investments by the Adviser in additional personnel or other resources. They also took note of the competitive market for talented personnel, in particular, for personnel who have contributed to the generation of strong investment performance. They considered the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation in order to attract and retain capable personnel. The Trustees recalled that at the June 2007 meeting, they considered the following factors: (1) the additional efforts required to manage the Fund’s portfolio in periods of rapid growth (including the need to identify additional portfolio securities for investment as the Fund’s assets grow), (2) the additional personnel and other resources needed in such efforts, (3) the possible effects of such cash inflows on the Fund’s ability to achieve attractive investment returns and (4) the benefits to the Fund of such net cash inflows and asset growth (including lower expense ratios). They also considered the administrative services provided by the Adviser’s affiliates to the Fund.
18
The Trustees also considered the benefits to Fund shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is part of a family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a variety of fund and shareholder services.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreement.
Investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Fund over various time periods, including information which compared the performance of the Fund to the performance of peer groups of funds and the Fund’s respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party which analyzed the performance of the Fund using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics which also measured the performance of the Fund on a risk adjusted basis. With respect to the Fund, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreement.
The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the Fund’s performance as a fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Adviser to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Adviser to take steps intended to improve performance.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the performance of the Fund and the Adviser supported the renewal of the Agreement.
The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their respective relationships with the Fund. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Fund for advisory services as well as the total expense levels of the Fund. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and also by an independent third party) of the Fund’s advisory fees and total expense levels to those of its peer group and information about the advisory fees charged by the Adviser to comparable accounts. 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. In evaluating the Fund’s advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund has an expense cap in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser under the cap. The Trustees also noted that, effective July 1, 2007, management had reduced the expense cap for the Fund.
The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ relationships with the Fund, 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 Fund growth on Adviser profitability, including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities and the increase in net sales for the family of funds. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser profitability was an issue, the performance of the Fund, the expense levels of the Fund, and that the Adviser had implemented an expense cap for the Fund. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the advisory fees charged to the Fund were fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates in respect of their relationships with the Fund supported the renewal of the Agreement.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Adviser and whether those economies are shared with the Fund through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense waivers. The Trustees noted that the Fund was subject to an expense cap. The Trustees also considered that in connection with the June 2007 Board meeting, the Trustees received a report and presentation from management on the effect of recent growth in net assets of the Fund and the benefits of economies of scale realized and expected to be realized by the Fund (including decreases in the Fund’s expense ratio resulting from increase in assets). The Trustees also noted that at the June 2007 meeting, they had determined to approve the continuation of the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund Agreement for five months rather than a full year to allow further review of the growth of the Fund’s net assets and the effects of such growth on the Fund and the Adviser, and considered updated information on such growth. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and a relative basis) and the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationships with the Fund.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees considered, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Fund supported the renewal of the Agreement.
The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:
• | | whether the 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 Fund and the Adviser. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates were providing to the Fund. |
19
• | | the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Adviser and its affiliates, both under the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund Agreement and under a separate agreement covering administrative services |
• | | so-called “fallout benefits” to the Adviser, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Adviser to provide distribution, administrative and brokerage services to the Fund, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions generated by the Fund’s securities transactions. 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. |
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 the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund Agreement should be continued through June 30, 2008.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)
1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I (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. Shares of certain funds in the Trust were first registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) effective March 7, 1997 (subsequent to their commencement of investment operations). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the fixed income funds of the Trust; the financial statements for the equity funds of the Trust are presented in a separate report. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Loomis Sayles Bond Fund (the “Bond Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Fixed Income Fund (the “Fixed Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund (the “Global Bond Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund (the “Inflation Protected Securities Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Institutional High Income Fund (the “Institutional High Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund (the “Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund (the “Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund”)
Each Fund offers Institutional Class Shares. Bond Fund and Global Bond Fund also offer Retail Class Shares. In addition, Bond Fund offers Admin Class Shares.
Most expenses of the Trust 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 Trust. Expenses of a fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees applicable to such class). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a fund if the fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate dividends from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
a. Security Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Futures contracts are priced at their most recent settlement price. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.
The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.

b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income 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 net assets of the Fund.
c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates caused by fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Certain 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.
Each Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of appropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the prices of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund that may invest in foreign investments may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge a Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell may offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end.
All contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable exchange rates and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. At March 31, 2008, the Global Bond Fund had the following open forward foreign currency exchange contracts:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Contract to Buy/Sell | | Delivery Date | | Currency | | Units | | Value | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
Sell | | 6/18/2008 | | Canadian Dollar | | 19,500,000 | | $18,967,765 | | $624,515 |
Sell | | 6/18/2008 | | Colombian Peso | | 17,480,000,000 | | 9,383,371 | | (35,777) |
Buy | | 6/18/2008 | | Iceland Krona | | 1,164,000,000 | | 15,237,417 | | 498,576 |
e. Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index (e.g., an interest-bearing security) 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 as “initial margin” an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities. As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. At the end of each trading day, the amount of such increase or decline is received or paid, respectively, by and to the holders of these positions. The amount received or paid is known as “variation margin.” Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the net variation margin received or paid over the time the position is held, plus or minus the amount received or paid when the position is closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.
f. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains, at least annually. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) was issued and became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has performed an analysis of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examinations (tax years ended September 30, 2004 – 2007) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance from the FASB, new tax laws, 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.
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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as net operating losses, foreign currency transactions, gains realized from passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”), paydown gains and losses, equalization and premium amortization accruals. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, unrealized gains on PFICs, premium amortization accruals, dividends payable, futures contracts mark to market, 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, 2007 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | 2007 Distributions Paid From: |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |

h. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held at the custodian bank 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. Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is maintained in an amount at least equal to these commitments with the custodian. At March 31, 2008, there were no delayed delivery commitments.
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 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 of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value 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. The value of securities on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Funds with respect to such loans at March 31, 2008 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Value of Securities on Loan | | Value of Collateral |
Bond Fund | | $ | 1,057,109,090 | | $ | 1,075,922,564 |
Fixed Income Fund | | | 21,983,955 | | | 22,359,618 |
Global Bond Fund | | | 278,294,925 | | | 283,468,823 |
Inflation Protected Securities Fund | | | 4,109,991 | | | 4,165,445 |

k. Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability 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 Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
l. New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management has evaluated the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and believes that such impact will be limited to expanded disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements regarding inputs used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments and will not have a material impact on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.
In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and including paydowns) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

4. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
a. Management Fees. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to each Fund.

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 Group, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.
b. Administrative Fees. Natixis Advisors provides certain administrative services for the Funds and subcontracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. Natixis Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust III, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Natixis Cash Management Trust, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), the Hansberger International Series and Natixis Advisors, each Fund pays Natixis Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0675% of the first $5 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, 0.0625% of the next $5 billion, 0.0500% of the next $20 billion and 0.045% of such assets in excess of $30 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series of $5 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis. New funds are subject to an annual fee of $50,000 plus $12,500 per class and an additional $50,000 if managed by multiple subadvisors in their first calendar year of operations.
Effective October 1, 2007, State Street Bank reduced the fees it receives from Natixis Advisors for serving as sub-administrator to the Funds. Also, effective October 1, 2007, Natixis Advisors has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Funds to waive the administrative fees paid by the Funds in an amount equal to the reduction in sub-administrative fees discussed above. The waiver is in effect through June 30, 2008.
For the six months ended March 31, 2008, amounts paid to Natixis Advisors for administrative fees were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |

c. Service and Distribution Fees. Natixis Distributors, L.P. (“Natixis Distributors”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Natixis US, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trust. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distributors serves as principal underwriter of each Fund.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Bond Fund and the Global Bond Fund have adopted Distribution Plans relating to each Fund’s Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plan”) and the Bond Fund has adopted a separate Distribution Plan relating to its Admin Class shares (the “Admin Class Plan”).
Under the respective Retail Class and Admin Class Plans, each Fund pays Natixis Distributors a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Retail Class and Admin Class Shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Natixis Distributors in providing personal services to investors in Retail Class and Admin
121
Class Shares and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Bond Fund may pay an administrative service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal service and account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.
For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Funds paid the following service and distribution fees:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Service Fees | | Distribution Fees |
Fund | | Admin Class | | Retail Class | | Admin Class | | Retail Class |
Bond Fund | | $ | 271,881 | | $ | — | | $ | 271,881 | | $ | 9,304,102 |

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

e. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Fund does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US, or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $65,000. Each independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the Funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each Fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
Prior to January 1, 2008, each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $55,000. Each Independent Trustee also received a meeting attendance fee of $6,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attended in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attended telephonically. In addition, each Contract Review and Governance Committee member received $4,000 for each committee meeting that he or she attended in

person and $2,000 for each committee meeting that he or she attended telephonically. Each Audit Committee member received $5,000 for each committee meeting that he or she attended in person and $2,500 for each committee meeting that he or she attended telephonically. The Chairperson of the Board and committee chair retainers were $200,000 and $10,000, respectively.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Each participating Trustee will receive an amount equal to the value that such deferred compensation would have been had it been invested in a designated Fund or certain other Funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series on the normal payment date. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
f. Redemption Fees. Shareholders of the Bond Fund and the Global Bond Fund are charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeem, including redeeming by exchange, any class of shares of the Bond Fund or the Global Bond Fund within 60 days of their acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee is intended to offset the costs to the Funds of short-term trading, such as portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The redemption fee is deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and is paid to the Fund.
The “first-in, first-out” method is used to determine the holding period of redeemed or exchanged shares, which means that if a shareholder acquired shares on different days, the shares acquired first will be redeemed or exchanged first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies. A new holding period begins with each purchase or exchange. These fees are accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
5. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% 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. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Funds had no borrowings under this agreement.
Prior to March 12, 2008, each fund together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $75,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman High Yield Index, during the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to sector allocation and individual security selection.
Throughout the period, investors moved to safe havens as economic conditions deteriorated and the credit crisis gained momentum. The Fund’s underweight position in financials enabled it to avoid some of the price declines in this sector, which was among the worst performing group for the period. US Treasurys continued to outperform all other fixed-income sectors, and the Fund’s allocation to Treasurys remained a source of excess return.
Our security selection in the investment grade sector contributed positively to performance. On an industry level, the more stable areas, such as energy, natural gas and healthcare, were the best performers during the period. Energy companies benefited from high oil prices, while the natural gas industry, which is mostly insulated from the subprime fallout and consumer worries, benefited from strong commodity prices. Healthcare, a relatively defensive area, held up better than most industries.
The utilities sector (investment grade and high yield) was one of the best performing sectors. Strong security selection among investment grade issues benefited the Fund. However, our relative underweight allocation in lower quality, higher yielding securities, combined with poor security selection, detracted from performance.
The TMT (technology, media, telecommunication) industry was a drag on performance, primarily due to lower-quality issues and those with exposure to leveraged buyout risks were out of favor with investors during the period. An over-supply of high yield bonds and loans, combined with weak consumer spending, further diminished returns.
OUTLOOK
Although the US economy has weakened, we see pockets of strength. For example, the industrials sector is relatively strong; the weak US dollar is improving the outlook for exports; corporate spending remains disciplined; and nonresidential construction is booming. We believe the Federal Reserve will ease once more before holding the fed funds target rate steady at 2.00%, while it continues to use other methods to maintain liquidity, as needed. By year-end, we believe the economy may show signs of recovery.
In our view, valuations outside of the Treasury sector are attractive. The shaky economy poses risks, but bond prices appear to reflect a more dismal scenario than we anticipate. Longer term, risk spreads should become less widespread, enabling markets to price risk more
1
appropriately. US high yield securities may offer more compelling value on a security-specific basis, although the potential for further fallout calls for caution. Near-term, we believe the US dollar may have further downside potential, as non-Japanese Asian currencies strengthen.

CUMULATIVE PERFORMANCE
Inception to March 31, 2008

Data quoted reflects past performance and cannot guarantee future results. Total returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than quoted.
Returns do not reflect the taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. Periods of less than one year are not annualized. Index performance data is not available coincident with the Fund’s inception date.
(a) Since Index performance data is not available coincident with the Fund’s inception date, the beginning value of the index is the value of the month-end closest to the Fund’s inception date. (b) See page 5 for a description of the Indices. (c) The amount shown under Gross Expense Ratio reflects the approximate amount that would be required to compensate Loomis Sayles for providing investment advisory services to the fund (not advisory fees charged for the entire “wrap fee” program or for an investor’s separate account with Loomis Sayles), and the amount of operating expenses of the Fund, which is paid for by Loomis Sayles. The amount shown under Net Expense Ratio is 0.00% to reflect the fact that the Fund does not pay any advisory, administration or distribution and service fees, and that Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay certain expenses of the Fund.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
High yield securities are subject to a high degree of market and credit risk. The secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity, which may adversely affect the value of the Fund. Securities issued by US government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the US government.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman Securitized Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to its overweight position in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), both of which lagged during the period.
The reporting period was characterized by a continuation of the liquidity and credit concerns that spread from subprime mortgages into prime MBS
and the corporate credit markets, causing most spreads to widen. Investors preferred the safety and liquidity of higher-quality securities, despite their relatively modest income. MBS issued by GSEs (Government-Sponsored Entities) fared better than privately-issued securities. Similarly, GNMA issues performed relatively well, due to their explicit guarantee from the US government.
Non-GSE mortgages, which are perceived as having greater credit risk, were the worst performers. Many were rated AAA through some form of credit enhancement, but as the real estate market continued to deteriorate, investors grew cautious of all privately issued MBS, even prime issues. This weakness also spread to the corporate bond market and non-residential mortgages, including CMBS, which subsequently partially recovered.
As interest rates declined during the period, bonds with relatively longer maturities were among the best performers, because their prices are more sensitive to interest rate moves.
We increased the Fund’s position in short-duration, high-quality, asset-backed securities (ABS), including securities backed by automobile loans and credit-card receivables. We also added high-quality CMBS at attractive prices. These securities currently offer both high yields and strong credit quality, due to their secured status and additional credit enhancements. Credit enhancements include subordinated bonds, which are first to absorb any losses from underlying loans.
OUTLOOK
The Fund remains overweight in residential and commercial MBS, which are largely shielded from subprime issues. We expect these sectors to benefit significantly from their attractive yield advantages and from price appreciation. The GSE MBS derive their strong credit quality from conservative underwriting and guarantees from the issuing government agency. The commercial real estate market did not experience the proliferation of bad loans and speculative lending seen in the residential market. We believe our CMBS position remains of strong credit quality due to its significant credit enhancement. We believe these distinctions will draw investors back into these sectors in time.
3
The aggressive Federal Reserve rate cuts have resulted in a steep yield curve. In our view, longer maturity securities now offer significant yield advantages versus shorter alternatives. We are pursuing opportunities to take advantage of this situation.

Lehman High Yield Index covers the universe of fixed rate, non-investment grade debt. Pay-in-kind (PIK) bonds, Eurobonds, and debt issues from countries designated as emerging markets (e.g., Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, etc.) are excluded, but Canadian and global bonds (SEC registered) of issuers in non-emerging market countries are included. Original issue zeroes, step-up coupon structures, and 144As are also included.
Lehman Securitized Index is an unmanaged index of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities (ERISA eligible) and fixed rate mortgage-backed securities.
Returns are adjusted for the reinvestment of capital gains distributions and income dividends. Indices are unmanaged and do not have expenses that affect results, unlike most mutual funds. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Proxy Voting Information
A description of the Funds’ proxy voting policies and procedures is available without charge, upon request, (i) by calling Loomis Sayles at 800-633-3330; (ii) on the Funds’ website, www.loomissayles.com, and (iii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2007 is available on (i) the Funds’ website and (ii) the SEC’s website.
Quarterly Portfolio Schedules
The Funds file a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.
UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
Typically, mutual fund shareholders incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees and certain exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. However, the Funds are unlike other mutual funds; they do not charge any fees or expenses.
You should be aware that shares in the Funds are available only to institutional investment advisory clients of Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) and Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) and to participants in “wrap-fee” programs sponsored by broker dealers and investment advisers that may be affiliated or unaffiliated with the Funds, Loomis Sayles or Natixis Advisors. The institutional investment advisory clients of Loomis Sayles and Natixis Advisors pay Loomis Sayles or Natixis Advisors a fee for their investment advisory services, while participants in “wrap fee” programs pay a “wrap” fee to the program’s sponsor. The “wrap fee” program sponsors, in turn, pay a fee to Natixis Advisors. “Wrap fee” program participants should read carefully the wrap fee brochure provided to them by their program’s sponsor and the fees paid by such sponsor to Natixis Advisors. Shareholders pay no additional fees or expenses to purchase shares of the Funds. However, shareholders will indirectly pay a proportionate share of those costs, such as brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses, that are borne by the Funds through a reduction in each Fund’s net asset value.
The first line in each Fund’s table below shows the actual amount of Fund expenses ($0) you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from October 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual Fund returns and expenses.
The second line in each Fund’s table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio (0%) 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 the other funds.

(“Natixis Advisors”) and/or Loomis Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) and to institutional advisory clients of Natixis Advisors or Loomis Sayles that, in each case, meet the Funds’ policies as established by Loomis Sayles.
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. Each Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
a. Security Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Markets are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Futures contracts are priced at their most recent settlement price. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.
The High Income Opportunities Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.
b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. 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.
c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
29
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 caused by fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the High Income Opportunities 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 High Income Opportunities Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
The High Income Opportunities Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of appropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the prices of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The High Income Opportunities Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange 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 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.
All contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable exchange rates and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. At March 31, 2008, there were no open foreign forward currency contracts.
e. Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index (e.g., an interest-bearing security) 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 as “initial margin” an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities. As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. At the end of each trading day, the amount of such increase or decline is received or paid, respectively, by and to the holders of these positions. The amount received or paid is known as “variation margin.” Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the net variation margin received or paid over the time the position is held, plus or minus the amount received or paid when the position is closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.
f. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains, at least annually. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) was issued and became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has performed an analysis of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examinations (tax years ended September 30, 2004 – 2007) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance from the FASB, new tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)
The High Income Opportunities 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.
g. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains 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 premium amortization, distribution redesignations and paydown gains and 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 defaulted bond income accruals, premium amortization accruals and futures contracts marked to market. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be 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, 2007 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | 2007 Distributions Paid From: |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | $ | 4,658,683 | | $ | 10,790 | | $ | 4,669,473 |
Securitized Asset Fund | | | 11,884,620 | | | — | | | 11,884,620 |
As of September 30, 2007, post-October losses were as follows: |
| | High Income Opportunities Fund | | Securitized Asset Fund | | |
Deferred net capital losses (post-October 2006) | | $ | — | | $ | 2,099,095 | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
h. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held at the custodian bank 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. Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is maintained in an amount at least equal to these commitments with the custodian.
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 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 of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value 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. The value of securities on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Funds with respect to such loans at March 31, 2008 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Value of Securities on Loan | | Value of Collateral | | |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | $ | 8,081,482 | | $ | 8,273,185 | | |
Securitized Asset Fund | | | — | | | — | | |
31
k. Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability 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.
l. New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management has evaluated the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and believes that such impact will be limited to expanded disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements regarding inputs used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments and will not have a material impact on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.
In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and including paydowns) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | U.S. Government and Agency Securities | | Other Securities |
Fund | | Purchases | | Sales | | | | Purchases | | Sales |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | $ | — | | $ | 1,384,083 | | | | $ | 11,245,872 | | $ | 7,118,711 |
Securitized Asset Fund | | | 1,057,465,336 | | | 1,041,855,963 | | | | | 42,170,737 | | | 8,902,344 |
4. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
a. Management Fees. Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay, without reimbursement from the Funds or the Trust, the following expenses of the Funds: compensation to Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust; registration, filing and other fees in connection with requirements of regulatory authorities; the charges and expenses of any entity appointed by the Funds for custodial, paying agent, shareholder servicing and plan agent services; charges and expenses of the independent registered public accounting firm retained by the Funds; charges and expenses of any transfer agents and registrars appointed by the Funds; any cost of certificates representing shares of the Funds; legal fees and expenses in connection with the day-to-day affairs of the Funds, including registering and qualifying its shares with Federal and State regulatory authorities; expenses of meetings of shareholders and Trustees of the Trust; the costs of services, including services of counsel, required in connection with the preparation of the Funds’ registration statements and prospectuses, including amendments and revisions thereto, annual, semi-annual and other periodic reports of the Funds, and notices and proxy solicitation material furnished to shareholders of the Funds or regulatory authorities, and any costs of printing or mailing these items; and the Funds’ expenses of bookkeeping, accounting, auditing and financial reporting, including related clerical expenses.
Loomis Sayles serves as investment adviser to each Fund. Under the terms of each management agreement, Loomis Sayles does not charge the Funds an investment advisory fee, also known as a management fee, or any other fee for those services or for bearing those expenses. Although the Funds do not compensate Loomis Sayles directly for services under the advisory agreement, Loomis Sayles will typically receive an advisory fee from the sponsors of “wrap programs,” who in turn charge the programs’ participants.
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. Administrative Fees. Natixis Advisors provides certain administrative services for the Funds and subcontracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. Natixis Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay, without reimbursement from the Trust or Funds, fees to Natixis Advisors for services to the Funds under each agreement.
c. Service and Distribution Fees. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Natixis Distributors, L.P. (“Natixis Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distributors serves as principal
32
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

underwriter of the Funds. Natixis Distributors currently is not paid a fee for serving as distributor for the Funds. Loomis Sayles has agreed to reimburse Natixis Distributors to the extent that Natixis Distributors incurs expenses in connection with any redemption of Fund shares.
d. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Fund does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US, or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $65,000. Each independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the Funds in the Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust III, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Natixis Cash Management Trust, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”) and the Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each Fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
Prior to January 1, 2008, each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $55,000. Each Independent Trustee also received a meeting attendance fee of $6,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attended in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attended telephonically. In addition, each Contract Review and Governance Committee member received $4,000 for each committee meeting that he or she attended in person and $2,000 for each committee meeting that he or she attended telephonically. Each Audit Committee member received $5,000 for each committee meeting that he or she attended in person and $2,500 for each committee meeting that he or she attended telephonically. The Chairperson of the Board and committee chair retainers were $200,000 and $10,000, respectively.
5. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% 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. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Funds had no borrowings under this agreement.
Prior to March 12, 2008, each fund together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $75,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank.
6. Concentration of Risk. The Securitized Asset Fund is a non-diversified fund. Compared with diversified mutual funds, the Securitized Asset Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular company. Therefore, the Securitized Asset Fund’s returns could be significantly affected by the performance of any one of the small number of bonds in its portfolio.
7. Capital Shares. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:
