Objective | Long-term capital growth from investments in common stocks or similar securities

Strategy | Invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in common stocks or other equity securities (which may include securities offered in the secondary markets or in initial public offerings) of companies with market capitalizations that fall within the capitalization range of the Russell Midcap Growth Index, although the Fund may invest in companies of any size

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Strong stock selection and an overweight in the materials and processing sector, coupled with strong selection in the energy sector, were primarily responsible for the Fund’s outperformance relative to its Benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.

Early in 2008, we trimmed the Fund’s exposure to late-cyclical (companies sensitive to the economy late in the cycle) energy, materials and industrial holdings in anticipation of an economic downturn. We also increased the Fund’s weightings in healthcare and consumer discretionary. This proved to be the wrong strategy, so in late March and early April we reversed course and added significantly to our energy and materials exposure, which proved successful. Our concerns about the sustainability of the commodities bubble caused us to partially offset that exposure with holdings in technology, financial companies (asset managers) and discount merchandisers. Late in the period, on signs of a global economic slowdown, we significantly reduced our exposure to late cyclicals and increased the Portfolio’s defensive characteristics by adding to consumer staples and healthcare.

For much of the year, rising demand in emerging markets and a weak US dollar drove commodity prices higher. We had some big winners in coal (Alpha Natural Resources), oil services (Cameron International) and exploration and production (Range Resources, Southwestern Energy). In the materials sector, our biggest winners were in metals (Cleveland-Cliffs) and fertilizer (CF Industries). All of these strong performers were sold except Range Resources.

No sector in the Fund or Benchmark generated positive absolute returns for the period. For the most part, the least negative sectors were the most defensive: healthcare and consumer staples. Technology and financial services represented the largest detractors to absolute performance. The technology sector experienced across-the-board weakness stemming from earnings disappointments and/

or lowered guidance, combined with compression in the P/E multiple among high P/E stocks. In financial services, we had minimal exposure to banks, but experienced losses in companies exposed to the capital markets.

OUTLOOK

The equity and credit markets are facing unprecedented challenges. The freezing of liquidity and credit quality and the failure or near-failure of several financial institutions in the United States and Europe created a crisis of confidence not seen in decades. The Federal Reserve Board, US Treasury, Congress and governments worldwide recognize what must be accomplished and are working to restore liquidity and confidence. Furthermore, large equity infusions from private investors are beginning to appear.

With the recent sell-off, the market may have discounted expectations for slower economic growth and lower earnings, and the ingredients for a market bottom seem to be falling into place. We believe negative news on consumer spending, home prices and unemployment is likely to continue, but the market is forward-looking and we think it will begin to discount a brighter future well before there are any concrete signs of improvement.

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 slightly underperformed its Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to stock selection in the energy and financial services sectors. The stocks we selected in technology and utilities performed well for the Fund, but not enough to offset poor performance in energy and financial services.

In light of high market volatility, we sought to limit

the Fund’s risk by reducing exposure to the technology, financial services and consumer discretionary sectors. In technology, we trimmed semiconductors, an industry that was experiencing a cyclical slowdown. In financial services, we exited companies exposed to the ongoing credit crisis, and as economic growth prospects dwindled, we reduced the Fund’s consumer discretionary weighting.

On an absolute basis, technology was the largest detractor, followed by consumer discretionary, financial services and energy. Within the financial services sector, Aircastle, an airline leasing company, and National Financial Partners, a financial planning company, experienced earnings shortfalls and both were sold early in the period. The Fund’s position in eHealth declined even though the company’s results met expectations. Investors were hoping for better performance from this internet-based health insurance company. We sold the stock in July. In the energy sector, declining global commodity markets put pricing pressure on many companies, including Mitcham Industries, a seismic equipment leasing company, and Exterran Holdings, which provides oil and gas production and processing facilities worldwide. We sold the stock late in the period.

The only sector that made a positive contribution to absolute performance was consumer staples. Within the sector our selections included bakery company Flowers Foods, which was one of the top-performing stocks during the period, due to strong revenue and earnings growth and its sound expansion strategy. Our position in Petrohawk Energy Corp., an oil and gas exploration and production company, was the Fund’s best-performing stock. Shares spiked after reporting positive natural gas output from a new well and we sold the stock.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to stock selection in the energy and financial services sectors.

Our weakest sector during the fiscal year was financial services, which represented the most heavily weighted sector within the Benchmark and which declined over 17% during the period. Weakness in financial services was driven by continued deterioration in credit trends within the banking industry and highly risk-averse behavior on the part of lenders, which resulted in a lack of liquidity throughout the credit markets. In addition, certain financial services holdings disappointed from a fundamental perspective. National Financial Partners, a distributor of financial services products to small- and medium-sized businesses and individuals, reported a shortfall to organic growth and was eliminated from the Portfolio in March 2008. Advanta Corp., a provider of credit cards and related products to small- and medium-sized businesses, sold off sharply on concerns over increasing losses as a result of deteriorating credit trends throughout the US economy. We shared those concerns and exited our position during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Consumer discretionary stocks were also weak during the period, as housing prices fell, employment trends worsened and food and gasoline prices moved higher. While our consumer stocks declined during the period, our strategy of seeking out company-specific catalysts resulted in favorable stock selection, which offset some of the impact of sector weakness. These negative trends were also partially offset by timely additions to “early-cycle” transportation stocks, such as Ryder System, Inc. and Hub Group, Inc. late in 2007, as well as an increase in the Fund’s healthcare weighting. Healthcare proved resilient from overall market weakness. The Fund’s two best- performing healthcare holdings were Perrigo Co., a manufacturer of store-brand, over-the-counter pharmaceuticals; and Atlanta-based Sciele Pharma, a branded pharmaceutical company that was acquired by a Japanese drug manufacturer at a substantial premium. The Fund’s top performers in consumer staples included Ralcorp Holdings, a private label cereal manufacturer; and Spartan Stores, a Midwestern grocery and food distribution chain.

As US and global economic growth prospects deteriorated throughout the period, we adopted a somewhat more defensive posture for the Fund, increasing its weighting in healthcare and reducing positions in producer durables and technology. We also increased the Fund’s weighting in consumer discretionary stocks; this sector has often been early in discounting economic recoveries.

OUTLOOK

In these volatile markets—with fundamental challenges in the banking industry, capital markets and the global economy—the importance of a steady, time-tested investment strategy has never been greater. While in recent months the markets have seemed to act irrationally at times, our team is committed to understanding risks and unearthing opportunities in the current market while balancing capital preservation and long term capital gain

prospects. Our approach continues to emphasize bottom-up stock selection to drive performance, as opposed to sector rotation or asset allocation. Our focus remains on what appear to be fundamentally sound, small companies with valuations that we believe do not reflect fair value of the enterprise. In selecting stocks for the Fund, we look for companies with strong market niches, solid cash flow, balance sheet support, attractive valuations and a catalyst for improvement. Although we think economic news is likely to remain difficult for some time, stock prices are a discounting mechanism, and at some point we believe they will begin to anticipate restoration of stability in the capital markets and a resumption of economic growth. In the meantime, we will rely on our strategy to guide us through and we look forward to better markets ahead.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall equity market during any given period. 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. Foreign investments involve special risks, including greater economic, political and currency fluctuation risks, which may be even greater in emerging markets. Foreign countries may have different accounting standards than US standards.

After-Tax Returns

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 distributions or even the return before taxes.

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 April 1, 2008 through September 30, 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.

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.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, 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, typically for an additional one-year period. 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 adviser 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 the Funds’ adviser (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 respective investment staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (iii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (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 the annual 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 the Funds’ investment performance and the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing 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.

The Board of Trustees most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at their meeting held in June, 2008. The Agreements were continued for a one-year period for all Funds. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included the following:

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including recent or planned investments by certain of 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. They also considered the administrative services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds.

For each Fund, the Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is part of a family of funds that offers shareholders the right to exchange shares of one type of fund for shares of another type of fund, and provides a variety of fund and shareholder services.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information which compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party which analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics which also measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.

The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the Funds’ performance as a fund family generally (as noted by certain financial publications), 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 each of the Agreements, that the performance of the Funds and the Adviser supported the renewal of the Agreements.

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 Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory services as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and also by an independent third party) of the Funds’ advisory fees and total expense levels to those of their peer groups and information about the advisory fees charged by the 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 each Funds advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of such Fund. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps. They noted that all of the Loomis Sayles Funds in this report have expense caps in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser under these caps.

The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates’ relationships with the Funds, and information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and 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 relevant Funds, the expense levels of the Funds, and whether the Adviser had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to such Funds.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fees charged to each of the Funds were fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates in respect of their relationships with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Adviser and whether those economies are shared with the Funds through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense waivers. The Trustees noted that each of the Funds was subject to expense caps. 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 Funds, as discussed above.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees considered, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

•

whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Adviser. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates were providing to the Funds.

•

the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Adviser and its affiliates, both under the Agreements and under separate agreements 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 Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the fact that Natixis Advisors’ parent company benefits from the retention of affiliated Adviser. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest.

Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of the existing advisory agreements should be continued through June 30, 2009.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2008

1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trusts” and each a “Trust”) are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Each Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trusts in multiple series. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to certain equity funds of the Trusts; the financial statements for the remaining equity funds and the fixed income funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

Loomis Sayles Funds I:

Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Funds II:

Loomis Sayles Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Mid Cap Growth Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”)

Each Fund offers Institutional Class Shares and Retail Class Shares. In addition, Small Cap Value Fund offers Admin Class Shares.

Most expenses of the Trusts can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trusts. Expenses of a fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees applicable to such class). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a fund if the fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate dividends from net investment income on each class of shares.

2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

a. 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 Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.

recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

Each Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of 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 September 30, 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. 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, 2005-2008) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

A Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable.

September 30, 2008

f. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as distributions from REITs, foreign currency transactions and net operating losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustment, deferred Trustees’ fees, REIT basis adjustments and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:


	2008 Distributions Paid From:						2007 Distributions Paid From:
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total		Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
Mid Cap Growth Fund	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Small Cap Growth Fund		—		—		—		—		—		—
Small Cap Value Fund		16,873,484		91,300,786		108,174,270		19,298,487		75,959,602		95,258,089

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


	Mid Cap Growth Fund			Small Cap Growth Fund			Small Cap Value Fund
Undistributed ordinary income	$	—		$	—		$	1,955,507
Undistributed long-term capital gains		—			—			331,178

Total undistributed earnings		—			—			2,286,685
Capital Loss Carryforward:
Expires September 30, 2010		(65,130,772	)		(138,314,515	)		—
Expires September 30, 2011		(21,142,388	)		(59,283,040	)		—
Total capital loss carryforward		(86,273,160	)		(197,597,555	)		—
Deferred net capital losses (post-October 2007)		(18,347,531	)		(7,364,469	)		(47,743,728	)
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		(11,623,796	)		(2,566,582	)		23,648,246

Total accumulated earnings (losses)	$	(116,244,487	)	$	(207,528,606	)	$	(21,808,797	)

Capital loss carryforward utilized in the current year	$	1,847,474		$	1,209,729		$	—

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 September 30, 2008 were as follows:


	Value of Securities on Loan		Value of Collateral
Mid Cap Growth Fund	$	22,615,127	$	22,705,247
Small Cap Growth Fund		22,689,377		22,691,148
Small Cap Value Fund		197,462,353		195,864,078

Subsequent to September 30, 2008, all open securities lending transactions were closed.

i. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

j. New Accounting Pronouncement. In 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.

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 year ended September 30, 2008, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:


Fund	Purchases		Sales
Mid Cap Growth Fund	$	461,496,904	$	336,296,687
Small Cap Growth Fund		175,639,765		84,821,824
Small Cap Value Fund		860,871,284		625,425,569

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%

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 year ended September 30, 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

Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreement (whether through reduction of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such reduced fees/expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee/expense was reduced. The amounts subject to possible reimbursement under the expense limitation agreements at September 30, 2008 were as follows:


	Expenses Subject to Possible Reimbursement Until September 30, 2009
Fund	Institutional Class		Retail Class		Admin Class		Total

(“Natixis US”), which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, Loomis Sayles reimbursed the Mid Cap Growth Fund $1,112 for losses incurred in connection with a trading error.

b. Administrative Fees. Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Funds and subcontracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. Natixis Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust III, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Natixis Cash Management Trust, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), Hansberger International Series and Natixis Advisors, each Fund pays Natixis Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0425% of the next $30 billion and 0.0375% of such assets in excess of $60 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts , Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis. New funds are subject to an annual fee of $75,000 plus $12,500 per class and an additional $75,000 if managed by multiple subadvisors in their first calendar year of operations.

Effective October 1, 2007, State Street Bank agreed to reduce the fees it receives from Natixis Advisors for serving as sub-administrator to the Funds. Also, effective October 1, 2007, Natixis Advisors gave 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 was in effect through June 30, 2008.

Prior to July 1, 2008, the Funds paid 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 the 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 the Hansberger International Series of $5 million, which was reevaluated on an annual basis. New funds were 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.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, amounts paid to Natixis Advisors for administrative fees were as follows:


Fund	Gross Administrative Fees		Waiver of Administrative Fees		Net Administrative Fees
Mid Cap Growth Fund	$	61,279	$	2,046	$	59,233
Small Cap Growth Fund		49,032		1,709		47,323
Small Cap Value Fund		546,547		20,880		525,667

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 Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Small Cap Growth Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund have adopted a Distribution Plan relating to their Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plans”) and the Small Cap Value Fund has adopted a separate Distribution Plan relating to its Admin Class shares (the “Admin Class Plan”).

Under the respective Retail Class and Admin Class Plans, each Fund pays Natixis Distributors a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Retail Class and Admin Class Shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Natixis Distributors in providing personal services to investors in Retail Class and Admin Class Shares and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Small Cap Value Fund may pay an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares, to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal service and account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Funds paid the following service and distribution fees:


	Service Fees		Distribution Fees
Fund	Admin Class		Retail Class		Admin Class
Mid Cap Growth Fund	$	—	$	228,997	$	—
Small Cap Growth Fund		—		140,202		—
Small Cap Value Fund		197,898		1,174,810		197,898

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distributors has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds agreed to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the 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.


	Sub-Transfer Agent Fees
Fund	Institutional Class		Retail Class		Admin Class
Mid Cap Growth Fund	$	10,845	$	100,391	$	—
Small Cap Growth Fund		16,844		51,624		—
Small Cap Value Fund		247,244		758,261		262,375

September 30, 2008

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. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

f. Redemption Fees. Shareholders of Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund are charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeem, including redeeming by exchange, any class of shares of such Funds within 60 days of their acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee is intended to offset the costs to the Funds of short-term trading, such as portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The redemption fee is deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and is paid to the Fund.

The “first-in, first-out” method is used to determine the holding period of redeemed or exchanged shares, which means that if a shareholder acquired shares on different days, the shares acquired first will be redeemed or exchanged first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies. A new holding period begins with each purchase or exchange. These fees are accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

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.

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.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.

6. Brokerage Commission Recapture. Each Fund has entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. All amounts rebated by the brokers are returned to the Funds under such agreements and are included in realized gains in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended September 30, 2008, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:


Fund	Rebates
Mid Cap Growth Fund	$	27,162
Small Cap Growth Fund		13,724

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman US Government/Credit Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to the unfolding credit crisis, which triggered systemic financial sector weakness, ongoing spread widening among investment grade and high yield credits, and a stronger US dollar.

A crisis of confidence engulfed the financial markets with the collapse of Bear Stearns, the government conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the insurer AIG’s ceding control to the government in exchange for an $85 billion loan, and the seizure of Washington Mutual. These events severely and directly affected Fund performance. Investment grade financials were also indirectly impacted in this environment.

Investors fled risky assets, and US Treasurys outperformed all other sectors, as widespread risk aversion drained corporate markets of liquidity and risk capacity, driving investors to seek high quality assets.

As banks nursed capital, businesses had increasing difficulty borrowing, and issuers facing impaired access to capital generally were negative performers, including those in communications, technology and consumer-sensitive industries. Secular global growth and the boom in commodity prices early in the fiscal year helped support the currencies of Malaysia, Mexico and Thailand. However, an uncertain and dimming global growth outlook in the third quarter of 2008 sent most major currencies lower versus the US dollar near the end of the fiscal year, as risk-averse investors fled to the relative safety of US Treasurys. Exposure to the Icelandic krona, British pound and the euro, in particular, detracted from results.

OUTLOOK

With tight credit and slowing economic growth, we are taking a hard look at opportunities. We see potential value in stable industrials, such as telecommunications and cable, but we are less enthusiastic about “deep cyclicals,” firms that are heavily dependent on the economy, and anything levered to the consumer.

We believe specific high yield credits and industries are likely to experience higher default rates, which would put further downward pressure on valuations. However, as measured by the Lehman High Yield Index, price declines had driven yields up over 13%, on average, as of September 30, 2008. Such a generous income may help investors absorb default losses (up to a point) while waiting for prices to recover.

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.

Fund Inception Date | 5/16/91

Class Inception Date Institutional: 5/16/91; Retail: 12/31/96; Admin: 1/2/98

Total Net Assets | $14,690.7 million

We have a cautious view on sovereigns because we believe the global credit crunch may lead to slower growth and lower commodity prices. Yields in Europe may fall as the economy slows, boosting bond returns, but we think currency-adjusted returns are likely to remain weak.

Experience with past market cycles suggests to us that, once confidence and optimism are restored, markets may turn up quickly as investors realize good companies are attractively priced. We are working hard to ensure the Fund is in a prime position to capture this upside potential.

Data quoted reflects past performance and cannot guarantee future results. Average annual 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. 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) Inception dates of the Institutional, Retail and Admin Classes of shares are May 16, 1991, December 31, 1996 and January 2, 1998, respectively. (b) The mountain chart is based on the initial minimum investment of $100,000 for the Institutional Class. (c) Performance shown for periods prior to the inception date of the Retail Class and the Admin Class represents the performance of the Institutional Class during the periods shown, adjusted to reflect the current levels of 12b-1 fees payable by the respective classes of shares. (d) See page 15 for a description of the indices. Index performance data is not available coincident with the Fund’s inception date; the beginning value of the index is the value as of the month end closest to the Fund’s inception date. (e) Cumulative performance is shown for the Institutional Class of shares. Performance of the Retail and Admin Classes would be lower, due to higher fees.

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. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

A crisis of confidence engulfed the financial markets with the collapse of Bear Stearns, the government conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, insurer AIG’s ceding control to the government in exchange for an $85 billion loan, and the seizure of Washington Mutual. These events severely and directly affected Fund performance. Investment grade financials were also indirectly impacted in this environment.

Investors fled risky assets, and US Treasurys outperformed all other sectors. Agency mortgage pass-through securities also acted as a safe haven and were among the few shelters from the deteriorating credit markets. The government’s conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made the guarantee on these securities explicit.

As banks nursed capital, businesses had difficulty borrowing. Issuers facing impaired access to capital were negative performers, including those in communications, technology and consumer-sensitive industries. Secular global growth and the boom in commodity prices early in the fiscal year helped the currencies of Mexico, Malaysia and Brazil.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman Global Aggregate Bond Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to an overweight in the corporate bond sector.

We gradually added to the Fund’s investment grade and high yield corporate bond holdings by lowering our exposure to high-quality government, quasi-government and securitized issuers. This hurt relative performance, as the credit markets significantly underperformed government bonds in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe. The Fund benefited from a brief rally following the rescue of Bear Stearns and the Federal Reserve’s actions to support liquidity. Nevertheless, the ongoing credit crisis and drama surrounding the global banking sector pushed credit spreads to their widest levels of the fiscal year in September. The Fund’s exposure to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae preferred securities, as well as to Lehman Brothers and AIG, largely detracted from performance during the period. The worst-performing security was Lehman Brothers, which lost virtually all of its value after filing for bankruptcy in September.

Our country allocations had a slightly negative impact on performance. The Fund’s overweight in the Malaysian and Singapore bond markets detracted, while our underweight in euro-denominated issues aided relative performance. The Fund’s overall currency strategy generated excess returns for the period. Most notably, our underweight to the South Korean won and Canadian dollar performed well, as both currencies depreciated against the greenback. Our overweight positions in the Polish zloty, Uruguay peso, Singapore dollar and Malaysian ringgit also enhanced returns. The Fund’s overweight in the Icelandic krona detracted, as that currency weakened by more than 40% against the US dollar.

Our duration/yield curve positioning had a slightly positive influence on relative performance. Specifically, our longer-than-Benchmark duration in Europe enhanced returns, as deteriorating market conditions led to lower bond yields.

OUTLOOK

Credit spreads have widened to startling levels, and September was among the worst months of performance for investment grade and high yield debt. Credit remains extremely cheap, and greater risk aversion than we witnessed during the final three weeks of September seems difficult.

We are forecasting a global recession and a cut in the federal funds rate, possibly to 1.0% by year end. We believe the US dollar and euro markets will probably continue to trade within a defined range, as both regions struggle with

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to its out-of-Benchmark exposure to credit securities. In addition, the Fund held Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock, and when the US government took conservatorship of these government-sponsored entities, it only guaranteed their senior and subordinated debt, not their preferred shares.

The period’s historic flight-to-quality led to outperformance for nominal US Treasurys and underperformance for all other sectors, including Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). The Fund’s TIPS position (78% of the Fund) performed relatively well, especially in the short to intermediate maturity range. This segment benefited from a steepening of the yield curve prompted by the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts, which pushed the federal funds rate target to 2.00%, down from 4.75% at the beginning of the period. The Fund’s longer duration relative to the Benchmark was a neutral strategy at best, as most of the decline in yields occurred in the shorter end of the yield curve, and the Fund’s more laddered maturity structure, did not help offset the impact of the flight to quality. The Fund’s non-dollar exposure to Singapore and Mexico helped, as did its energy holdings, which contributed positively to performance early in the fiscal year.

During the period, the real yield of 10-year TIPS remained unchanged at 2.27%. Yields on 30-year TIPS rose to 2.58% on September 30, 2008, from 2.20% a year earlier, and yields on five-year TIPS fell to 1.94% from 2.16%. These relatively small yield changes do not reflect the volatility witnessed during the period. Yields on 10-year TIPS, for example, reached a low of 0.91% on March 10, 2008, as breakevens (the difference between yields on 10-year nominal US Treasurys and TIPS, which represents the market’s long-term inflation forecast) trended upward on soaring oil prices.

In the third quarter of 2008, TIPS posted their worst performance relative to nominal US Treasurys, and breakevens narrowed significantly (from 2.53% on June 30 to 1.56% on September 30). Credit also underperformed during the period, reflecting the ongoing difficulties in the housing market and how they may negatively affect employment, lending, corporate earnings and the overall health of the economy.

OUTLOOK

Due to poor performance in the TIPS sector, the market is certainly not pricing in fears of inflation. However, one might view the TIPS sector as fairly attractive, given that the 10-year TIPS breakeven was at 1.59% on September 30, 2008. This is the most attractive level for the year and it suggests that inflation expectations might be too low given all the monetary easing and liquidity infusion into the markets by the Federal Reserve in an effort to help jump start the financial sector. Low inflation expectations of 1.59% may be too optimistic given our anticipation of a recovery beginning sometime in mid-2009 and the possible recovery in oil prices that may accompany improving economic conditions within the next year. Pricing in the TIPS market marks one of the best valuations we have seen in a long time.

For illustrative purposes, the chart above reflects the growth of a hypothetical investment of $100,000 in the Fund, since its inception. The chart above also reflects the growth of a hypothetical investment in the former primary benchmark of the Fund, the Lehman US Government Bond Index (the “Former Benchmark”), compared to the performance of the Fund from the Fund’s inception date through December 31, 2004. On December 15, 2004, in connection with a change of the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund changed its primary benchmark to the Lehman US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index (the “New Benchmark”). Since index performance data is not available coincident with the date of the Fund’s strategy change, comparative data for the Fund’s New Benchmark begins on December 31, 2004. The chart above reflects the growth of a hypothetical investment in the New Benchmark, compared to the performance of the Fund, from December 31, 2004, through September 30, 2008. The chart above also compares the performance of the Fund to the Lipper Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Funds Index from December 31, 2004 through September 30, 2008. The performance of the New Benchmark and of the Lipper Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Funds Index was linked to the performance of the Former Benchmark as of December 31, 2004.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

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. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

Effective December 15, 2004, the Fund’s name and investment strategy changed. The Fund’s strategy emphasizes inflation-protected debt securities issued by the US Treasury (TIPS). The principal value of the types of securities are periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation and repayment of the original bonds is guaranteed by the US government.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman High Yield Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to poor price performance among investment grade and high yield bonds. On a relative basis, below investment grade industrials detracted the most from performance. This sector included many poorly performing “busted Leveraged Buy Out” names. These are highly leveraged companies—many in the technology and communication industries—now facing a grim outlook in the current credit environment.

Widespread risk aversion accelerated during the third quarter of 2008, draining liquidity from the credit markets as sellers vastly out-numbered buyers. The resulting crisis of confidence largely defined the Fund’s performance for the period. As spreads widened and liquidity dried up, frightened investors sold across the quality spectrum and sought safety in US Treasury securities. Our US Treasury holdings benefited, but performance among other sectors suffered.

In absolute terms, financial names generated the biggest losses for the period, particularly in the investment grade arena. Uncertainty regarding the magnitude of the financial crisis and the government rescue plan grew in the final weeks of September 2008, punishing financial credits across the board. In particular, preferred and equity holdings, composed mainly of government-sponsored and financial sector securities, hurt overall Fund performance. Auto and gaming credits also took a beating, as consumers pulled back.

Non-US-dollar investments, positive performers in earlier quarters, posted poor results for the trailing year, primarily due to the strengthening US dollar.

Our underweight allocation to below-investment grade financials contributed favorably to relative performance, despite posting a negative absolute return. Select convertible bonds also contributed positively to overall performance, and our small allocation to emerging market debt produced a meager gain.

OUTLOOK

With tight credit and slowing economic growth, we are taking a hard look at opportunities. We see potential value in stable industrials, such as telecommunications and cable, but we are less enthusiastic about “deep cyclicals,” firms heavily dependent on the economy, and anything levered to the consumer.

FUND FACTS

Objective | High total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation

Fund Inception Date | 6/5/96

Fund Registration Date | 3/7/97

Total Net Assets | $214.2 million

We believe specific high yield credits and industries are likely to experience higher defaults, which will put further downward pressure on valuations. However, as measured by the Lehman High Yield Index, price declines had driven yields up over 13%, on average, as of September 30, 2008. Such a generous income may help investors absorb default losses (up to a point) while waiting for prices to recover.

Experience with past market cycles suggests that once confidence and optimism are restored, markets can recover quickly as investors realize good companies are attractively priced. We are working hard to ensure the Fund is in a prime position to capture this upside potential.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman US Government/Credit Intermediate Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to security selection and sector allocation. The events of September dominated returns and ultimately dictated sector and industry performance throughout the year.

Battered by the historic events of September, the financial sector suffered the worst absolute returns for the period. The Fund’s holdings among brokerage and finance companies were impacted the most. In particular, Lehman Brothers, whose bankruptcy filing unleashed widespread risk-aversion and uncertainty, dragged down results. Exceptional volatility spurred a flight to quality that led to impaired access to capital for many businesses, including communications and consumer-sensitive firms. This also hampered Fund performance.

In the flight-to-quality environment characteristic of much of the year, US Treasurys and agencies provided the best relative performance. Although the Fund’s allocation to US Treasurys fared best on an absolute basis, its underweight to US Treasurys and agencies relative to the Benchmark detracted from results.

We shifted the Fund’s duration to a defensive posture, extending to 3.96 years at the end of September 2008, compared to the Benchmark’s duration of 3.69 years. This tactical positioning, concentrated largely in long-term US Treasurys and other bonds, helped overcome some of the effects of the steepening yield curve.

The Fund’s performance also benefited from an out-of-Benchmark allocation to the Singapore dollar. Structured products, particularly long-term mortgage-backed securities (MBS), fared well as investors preferred high-quality issues. MBS enjoyed greater liquidity than their counterparts in the credit market.

OUTLOOK

With tight credit and slowing economic growth, we are taking a hard look at opportunities. We see potential value in stable industrials, such as telecommunications and cable, but we are less enthusiastic about “deep cyclicals,” firms heavily dependent on the economy, and anything levered to the consumer.

We have a cautious view on sovereigns because we believe the global credit crunch may lead to slower growth and lower commodity prices. Yields in Europe may fall as the economy slows, boosting bond returns, but we believe currency-adjusted returns are likely to be weak.

Experience with past market cycles suggests that, once confidence and optimism are restored, markets can recover quickly as investors realize good companies are attractively priced. We are working hard to ensure the Fund is in a prime position to capture this upside potential.

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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to widespread risk aversion, systemic weakness in the financial sector, a stronger US dollar and ongoing credit-spread widening among investment grade and high yield bonds.

The financial sector remained under significant downward pressure throughout the year, severely affecting investment grade and high yield financials. The massive flight-to-quality, along with concerns about the capital funding of banks and brokers, several high-profile bankruptcies, and the bailout of the government-sponsored entities (GSE), caused Treasury yields to plunge and the yield curve to steepen. As recession fears became more entrenched, our defensive duration position helped the Fund’s performance. Although the Fund was overweight in Treasurys, in terms of duration, it was significantly underweight in terms of market value.

Overall, our allocations to investment grade and high yield securities significantly hindered performance. Telecommunication holdings lagged across the board, and the Fund’s high yield auto and auto-related holdings detracted from performance. Our investments in preferred securities, primarily GSE, also hurt the Fund’s overall performance. However, on a positive note, the Fund’s investment grade financial holdings contributed positively due to a modest underweight and sound security selection.

Currencies of commodity-exporting countries like Australia, Canada and New Zealand, weakened late in the period, wiping out gains achieved earlier, when commodity prices reached record highs. An uncertain outlook for economic growth sent most currencies lower versus the US dollar.

OUTLOOK

With tight credit and slowing economic growth, we are taking a hard look at opportunities. We see potential value in stable industrials, such as telecommunications and cable, and we are less enthusiastic about “deep cyclicals,” firms heavily dependent on the economy, and anything levered to the consumer.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including 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 Fund shares shows the actual amount of Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from April 1, 2008 through September 30, 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 AGREEMENTS

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. Each year, usually in the spring, 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, typically for an additional one-year period. 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 adviser believes 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 the Funds’ adviser (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 staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (iii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (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 the annual 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.

The Board of Trustees most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at their meeting held in June 2008. The Agreements were continued for a one-year period for all Funds. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included the following:

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds 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. In the case of Loomis Sayles Bond Fund, which had experienced substantial net cash inflows, the Trustees considered factors including (1) the additional efforts required to manage the Fund’s portfolio in such circumstances (including the need to identify additional portfolio securities for investment as the Fund’s assets grow), (2) the additional personnel and other resources required to manage the portfolio in such circumstances, (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 (including lower expense ratios).

The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, but also considered the administrative services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds.

Investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information which compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party which analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics which also measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.

With respect to each Fund, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreement relating to that Fund. In the case of each Fund that had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Funds’ Agreements. These factors varied from Fund to Fund, but included one or more of the following: (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Fund’s Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Funds’ investment objective and policies and (2) that reductions in the Funds’ expense levels resulting from decreased expenses and/or increased assets were not yet fully reflected in the Fund’s performance results.

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 Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory services as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and also by an independent third party) of the Funds’ advisory fees and total expense levels to those of their peer groups and information about the advisory fees charged by the 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 each Fund’s advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of such Fund. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps for various Funds in the Fund family. They noted that all of the Loomis Sayles Funds in this report have expense caps in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser under these caps. The Trustees noted that the Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund’s total expense ratio was below the median of a peer group of funds even though the advisory fee was above the median.

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 Funds through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense waivers. The Trustees noted that two of the Loomis Sayles Funds in this report had breakpoints in their advisory fees and the remaining Funds were subject to expense caps. The Trustees also considered management’s representation that for certain Funds, the Funds’ Adviser did not benefit from economies of scale in providing services to the Funds (because of the investment style of the Fund, the small size of the Fund or for other reasons) or were capacity constrained with respect to the relevant investment strategy. For Loomis Sayles Bond Fund, the Trustees considered that the additional breakpoints implemented in December 2007 and

management’s representations that additional investments were being made to support the Fund’s investment team in response to the growth of assets in the Fund. 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 Funds, as discussed above.

The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

•

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 Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the fact that Natixis Advisors’ parent company benefits from the retention of an affiliated Adviser. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2008

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’ 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.

127

b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

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 using interpolated prices determined by an independent pricing service 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 September 30, 2008, there were no open 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.

128

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

September 30, 2008

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. 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, 2005-2008) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

g. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as foreign currency transactions, defaulted bond adjustments, discount adjustments on inflation-protected securities, paydown gains and losses 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, premium amortization accruals, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustments, forward contracts mark to market, 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 years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:


	2008 Distributions Paid From:						2007 Distributions Paid From:
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total		Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains	Total
Bond Fund	$	1,174,950,148	$	—	$	1,174,950,148	$	629,936,355	$ —	$	629,936,355
Fixed Income Fund		43,626,372		643,688		44,270,060		30,011,559	—		30,011,559
Global Bond Fund		114,644,152		—		114,644,152		83,933,355	—		83,933,355
Inflation Protected Securities Fund		1,129,818		—		1,129,818		595,612	—		595,612
Institutional High Income Fund		12,782,158		3,318,304		16,100,462		9,165,373	—		9,165,373
Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund		1,768,089		—		1,768,089		1,835,942	—		1,835,942
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		19,088,772		—		19,088,772		14,190,258	—		14,190,258

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

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 100% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain 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. It is each Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

September 30, 2008

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2008 were as follows:


		Value of Securities on Loan		Value of Collateral
Bond Fund		$	369,800,620	$	387,498,967
Fixed Income Fund	��		5,787,463		6,151,664
Global Bond Fund			62,005,117		62,965,841
Inflation Protected Securities Fund			1,348,324		1,411,666
Institutional High Income Fund			12,606,239		12,836,133
Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund			4,100,616		4,238,526
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund			9,806,034		10,190,325

Subsequent to September 30, 2008, all securities on loan were called back.

k. Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

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.

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.

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.

Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.

f. Redemption Fees. Effective June 2, 2008, the redemption fee imposed on any class of shares of the Bond Fund and Global Bond Fund was eliminated. Prior to June 2, 2008, shareholders were charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeemed, including redeeming by exchange, such shares within 60 days of their acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee was deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and was paid to the Funds. The fees were 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 year ended September 30, 2008, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KEY FUND FACTS

Symbol | LSIOX

Objective | High current income. Capital appreciation is the Fund’s secondary objective.

Strategy | Invests substantially all of its assets, and may invest up to 100% of its assets, in high income securities. High income securities are fixed-income securities that Loomis Sayles believes have the potential to generate relatively high levels of current income.

Fund Inception Date | 4/12/04

Total Net Assets | $65.0 million

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Lehman High Yield Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to the ongoing credit crisis and drama surrounding the banking sector, which pushed credit spreads to their widest levels of the year.

Our out-of-Benchmark exposure to investment grade financials was a principal contributor to the Fund’s negative total return, as the market lost confidence in the credit quality of many big-name banks and financial companies. The government’s seizure of Washington Mutual and the restructuring of the broker/dealer industry have fundamentally altered the landscape of investment and commercial banks.

Among below-investment grade industrials, lower-quality names resulting from leveraged buyouts in the days of easy credit were dragged down, as investors remained concerned about the financial implications of high debt loads and illiquid credit markets. The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac also had a negative impact on performance. We held preferred shares of Fannie and Freddie, and the suspension of dividends decreased the valuation of those holdings.

On a positive note, the Fund’s underweight in below-investment grade financials buoyed relative performance. The credit crisis made investors in the banking and finance sectors more anxious. Specifically, the ratings downgrade and subsequent downfall of Washington Mutual helped drag down performance for the sector. In addition, select investment grade industrial and convertible issues contributed positively, while an underweight allocation to the consumer cyclical sector also provided a modest boost. Our commitment to security selection lifted relative returns, as asset-backed and quality industrial names proved able to weather the credit market storm.

OUTLOOK

With tight credit and slowing economic growth, we are taking a hard look at opportunities. The team sees potential value in stable industrials, such as telecommunications and cable, but we are less enthusiastic about deep cyclicals, firms heavily dependent on the economy, and anything levered to the consumer.

Such generous income may help investors absorb default losses (up to a point) while waiting for prices to recover.

CUMULATIVE PERFORMANCE

Inception to September 30, 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 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 lagged its Benchmark, the Lehman Securitized Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to its emphasis on mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) issued by entities other than government-sponsored entities (GSE). Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund was modestly overweight in ABS secured by consumer loans and mortgage loan receivables. The Fund also had an overweight position in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). The performance of these sectors did not keep pace with the performance of MBS issued by GSE.

As the financial crisis evolved, investors sought the safety of US Treasury securities. Other sectors with more yield and greater risk were unable to keep pace. Investor fear reached an extreme, such that even high-quality securities lagged significantly. This created opportunities across a wide range of sectors for us to add significant yield advantages at historically attractive levels.

Specifically, we increased the Fund’s holdings in high-quality ABS and CMBS. Certain areas of the ABS market, particularly the residential mortgage segment, faced serious problems, but valuations cheapened in the stronger sectors. This created an attractive combination of strong credit quality and a significant yield advantage.

We also increased our holdings in MBS issued by GSE. As mortgage troubles continued to mount, investors became concerned that GSE would be unable to function without government intervention, even though the underlying mortgages were of much higher quality than those in the subprime market. Eventually, the government did intervene with actions that supported the senior obligations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. MBS issued by GSE reacted positively to the government’s intervention.

OUTLOOK

As a result of past Federal Reserve rate cuts and expectations for more cuts, the yield curve is steep by historical standards. Longer maturity securities now offer significant yield boosts versus shorter alternatives. We will look for opportunities to capitalize on this situation.

The Fund remains overweight in high-quality ABS backed by automobile loans and credit card receivables, which currently offer attractive yields and have strong credit quality due to their secured status and additional credit

enhancements. The Fund is also overweight relative to its Benchmark in CMBS, holding senior securities backed by first mortgages on commercial properties. We see little risk of any ratings downgrades among these holdings due to the strong credit enhancements on the senior securities. We are also maintaining the Fund’s overweight position in non-GSE residential MBS. Although market prices of these securities currently are depressed, our holdings are generally high in quality, and we anticipate a strong recovery in these securities.

Index Definitions

Lipper High Current Yield Funds Index is an equally weighted, unmanaged index of typically the 30 largest mutual funds within the high current yield funds investment objective.

Lipper US Mortgage Funds Index is an equally weighted, unmanaged index of typically the 30 largest mutual funds within the US mortgage funds investment objective.

Source: Lipper, Inc.

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, 2008 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 April 1, 2008 through September 30, 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.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement (the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, 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, typically for an additional one-year period. 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 adviser believes 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, if any, 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 the Funds’ advisers (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 respective investment staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (iii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (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.

The Board of Trustees most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at their meeting held in June 2008. The Agreements were continued for a one-year period for both Funds. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included the following:

The Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is part of a family of funds that offers shareholders the right to exchange shares of one type of fund for shares of another type of fund, and provides a variety of fund and shareholder services.

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 Funds. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Adviser does not charge the Funds an investment advisory fee or any other fee for services or for bearing expenses. The Trustees considered that, although the Funds do not compensate the Adviser directly for services under the Agreements, the Adviser will typically receive an advisory fee from its advisory clients who have invested in the Funds or from the sponsors of “wrap programs,” who in turn charge the programs’ participants. The Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Funds. Because the Funds do not charge an advisory fee, the Trustees did not consider the profitability of the Adviser’s relationship to the Funds.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fees, of 0%, charged to each of the Funds were fair and reasonable and supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees noted that because the Adviser bears most of the Funds’ expenses, economies of scale were not relevant to these Funds.

The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

•

so-called “fallout benefits” to the Adviser, such as the financial and other benefits to the Adviser from being able to offer the Funds to its advisory clients and investors in certain “wrap” programs and engagement of affiliates of the Adviser to provide distribution, administrative and brokerage services to the Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions generated by the Funds’ 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 each of the existing Agreements should be continued through June 30, 2009.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2008

Loomis Sayles High Income Opportunities Fund (the “High Income Opportunities Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Securitized Asset Fund (the “Securitized Asset Fund”)

Each Fund offers Institutional Class Shares. The Funds’ shares are offered exclusively to investors in “wrap fee” programs approved by Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“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. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis.

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 utilizing interpolated prices determined by an independent pricing service 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 September 30, 2008, there were no open forward foreign currency contracts.

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. 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, 2005—2008), where applicable and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

September 30, 2008

conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

The 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 gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as premium amortization 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, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustments, wash sales and futures contracts marked to market. 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 years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:


	2008 Distributions Paid From:						2007 Distributions Paid From:
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total		Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
High Income Opportunities Fund	$	7,183,035	$	174,077	$	7,357,112	$	4,658,683	$	10,790	$	4,669,473
Securitized Asset Fund		20,848,572		—		20,848,572		11,884,620		—		11,884,620

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


	High Income Opportunities Fund			Securitized Asset Fund
Undistributed ordinary income	$	697,200		$	3,177,200
Undistributed long-term capital gains		85,792			—

Total undistributed earnings		782,992			3,177,200
Deferred net capital losses (post-October 2007)		—			(3,534,625	)
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		(19,458,062	)		(18,544,552	)

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 September 30, 2008 were as follows:


	Value of Securities on Loan		Value of Collateral
High Income Opportunities Fund	$	2,331,061	$	2,444,943

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

September 30, 2008

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.

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 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 Funds do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US, or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in 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. Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay the pro rata portion of Trustees fees and expenses for each Fund, without reimbursement from the Trust or Funds.

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. Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay the pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Fund, without reimbursement from the Trust or Funds.

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.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.

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 bond issuers 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:


	High Income Opportunities Fund

	Year Ended September 30, 2008					Year Ended September 30, 2007

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees of Loomis Sayles Funds I and Shareholders of Loomis Sayles High Income Opportunities Fund and Loomis Sayles Securitized Asset Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Loomis Sayles High Income Opportunities Fund and Loomis Sayles Securitized Asset Fund, each a series of Loomis Sayles Funds I (collectively, “the Funds”), at September 30, 2008, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
