FUND AND MANAGER REVIEW
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund

Mark F. Burns, CFA
Manager since January 2005

John Slavik, CFA
Manager since April 2005
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, during the 12-month period ending September 30, 2009. The majority of the underperformance took place during the second quarter 2009 as the equity markets rebounded off the lows in March. Although the rapid rebound of stocks is positive, quick moves like the one just witnessed often come with a price. That price was a low quality rally that propelled the smallest of the small caps and companies with the most troubled balance sheets and profitability profiles.
Stock selection, which has been a consistent driver of returns for the product, was a detractor in the second quarter and, hence, the 12-month period. From a sector standpoint, the healthcare and consumer discretionary sectors were the most problematic. Partially offsetting this were overweight positions in the energy and technology sectors, with each showing a positive impact from stock selection as well.
Healthcare was the largest detractor to the Fund’s performance, primarily due to the negative macro economic impact on hospital and pharmaceutical budgets. Natus Medical, a medical device company, and ICON Plc., a clinical research provider for pharma companies, were each impacted by this trend. RTI Biologics, a biomedical company, was hurt by discretionary spending on elective surgeries as well as a slower than expected product launch. Each of these holdings were sold from the portfolio as the spending environment remained in question.
Within the consumer discretionary sector, VistaPrint and Gildan Activewear represented the largest performance detractors. VistaPrint, an online supplier of graphic design products for small businesses, fell in the fourth quarter of 2008 after reducing its full-year earnings and revenue forecasts. Gildan Activewear, an apparel manufacturing company, fell in the fourth quarter of 2008, as economic activity contracted and consumer spending plunged. Both stocks were sold.
The technology, consumer staples and energy sectors were among the most positive performers. Within technology, Riverbed Technology and Brocade Communications were among the portfolio’s top performers. Riverbed, which produces appliances to connect computers in wide area networks, advanced late in the period on better-than-expected earnings. Brocade, a company that provides switching solutions for storage area networks, rose dramatically in the second quarter 2009, after the equity markets bottomed in March. Consumer staples holding Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, the company behind the Keurig one-cup coffee brewers, was the largest individual contributor to the Fund’s performance, benefiting from a distribution partnership with Wal-Mart. We sold Riverbed and Green Mountain at a profit. And within the energy sector, the top contributors to performance were Oceaneering and Concho Resources. Oceaneering, an energy service company that supplies the oil and gas industry, rose steadily in the first three quarters of 2009 as demand picked up in-line with the increase in oil prices. Concho, an oil and gas exploration and production company rose in the third quarter of 2009 as commodity prices recovered.
The only significant change we made to the portfolio’s positioning was to substantially increase the technology weighting, in anticipation of an improving economy in the closing quarter of 2009. Technology represented our

largest overweight, and stock selection within this sector became more fruitful due to falling intra-sector correlations. In addition, the sector’s inventory replenishment cycle helped promote strong company fundamentals.
OUTLOOK
As the economic clouds parted this year, investors have grown more confident, leading to improved risk appetites and a dramatic rise in the market. The panic lows of March have been corrected and valuation levels seem to more accurately reflect current improving economic conditions. We believe continued economic improvement will lead to improved, yet bumpy, corporate profit growth, supportive of higher stock prices. The focus now centers on stock selection, as companies with the best business fundamentals and balance sheets are likely to provide the greatest returns.

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.

FUND AND MANAGER REVIEW
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund

Joseph Gatz, CFA
Manager since January 2000

Daniel Thelen, CFA
Manager since April 2000
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to strong stock selection in the financial services sector.
The Fund’s higher quality orientation proved to be fairly defensive during the dramatic stock market selloff late in 2008 and early in 2009, and stock selection was favorable. Our cautious view on the fundamentals of bank stocks, which we underweighted, and our significant weighting in non-credit-sensitive financial data service companies, resulted in solid relative performance in financial services. PHH Corp., a provider of outsourced mortgage and fleet management services, was the Fund’s top contributor for the year. Twelve months ago, the stock was severely depressed due to PHH’s dependence on the capital markets to fund its business. As financing concerns slowly lifted, the high-quality, lower-risk nature of PHH’s business showed through. Three consecutive positive earnings surprises and a management change driven by activist shareholders also inspired investors.
Our holdings in consumer stocks were heavily weighted toward less-economically sensitive business services and media companies, which held up reasonably well versus the retail, apparel and restaurant segments.
Consumer staples, technology, materials and processing detracted slightly, but no individual sector had a large negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance. In the consumer staples sector, Spartan Stores, a Midwest grocery retailer, was among the largest detractors, declining on concerns about reduced economic activity in key states. The technology and materials sectors performed exceptionally well during the market rally. Overall, our stock selection in technology lagged, but an above-average weighting helped, while our underweight in materials detracted while our stock selection was positive.
As the market rebounded from its low in March of 2009, leadership was concentrated among the smallest market cap, higher-risk stocks. These stocks were the hardest hit during the market downturn, but they were among the first to reverse course on early signs of an economic bottom. The low-quality nature of the rally resulted in our portfolio being somewhat out of phase with the market. Nevertheless, several changes we made, including the addition of attractively valued basic materials, technology and industrial stocks in the spring of 2009, helped the Fund maintain its lead on the index.
OUTLOOK
As the economic clouds parted, investors have grown more confident, risk appetites have improved, and the market has risen dramatically. Much of what had been oversold has recovered, and valuation levels seem reasonable relative to current economic conditions. We believe continued economic improvement will support higher prices, but the recovery pace and pattern is apt to be bumpy. We believe determining appropriate valuations will be instrumental, while a focus on individual stock selection is likely to be especially important in this market environment.

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, 2009 through September 30, 2009. 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.
5
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 (the “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 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 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, if applicable, 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, (vii) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (viii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Adviser.
In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their 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 each Fund’s performance and fee differentials against each Fund’s peer group of funds, 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 or other representatives of the Adviser make 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, 2009. The Agreements were continued for a one-year period for the 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. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included the factors listed below.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the 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 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
7
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.
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 and the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of mutual fund assets. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory fee, 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 the institution of 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 changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability, including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser 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 fee 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 or caps. The Trustees noted that although each Fund’s management fee was not subject to breakpoints, each Fund’s management fee was below the median fee for a peer group of funds and that each of the Funds was subject to an expense cap. 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:
• | | the effect of recent market and economic turmoil on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund. |
• | | whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the 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 |
8
| 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009
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. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Loomis Sayles Funds I:
Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Funds II:
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. Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through November 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring recognition in the financial statements or additional disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements.
a. 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. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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.
29
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 a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as 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 investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
d. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. Each Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of September 30, 2009 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next 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.
e. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as distribution redesignation and net operating losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustment, deferred Trustees’ fees and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued
September 30, 2009
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, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2009 Distributions Paid From: | | 2008 Distributions Paid From: |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | — |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 3,669,309 | | | 331,178 | | | 4,000,487 | | | 16,873,484 | | | 91,300,786 | | | 108,174,270 |
Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, if any, are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Small Cap Growth Fund | | | Small Cap Value Fund | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,287,623 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | — | | | | — | |

| | | | | | | | |
Total accumulated earnings (losses) | | $ | (220,601,662 | ) | | $ | (104,232,227 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
f. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.
g. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds 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.
As of September 30, 2009, there were no securities on loan.
h. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
31
3. Fair Value Measurements. Effective October 1, 2008, the Funds adopted accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures which establish a hierarchy in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of September 30, 2009, at value:

New funds are subject to a fee for the first twelve months of operations of $75,000 plus $12,500 per class and an additional $75,000 if managed by multiple subadvisors.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, each Fund paid the following for administrative fees to Natixis Advisors:
| | | |
Fund | | Administrative Fees |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 47,922 |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 402,025 |
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 Trusts. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distributors serves as principal underwriter of each Fund.
33
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, 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, 2009, the Funds paid the following service and distribution fees:
| | | | | | | | | |

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distributors has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds agreed to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediaries (which generally is a percentage of the value of shares held) not 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 intermediaries. Natixis Distributors pays the remainder of the fees.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Funds paid the following sub-transfer agent fees, which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Sub-Transfer Agent Fees |
Fund | | Institutional Class | | Retail Class | | Admin Class |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 17,234 | | $ | 47,223 | | $ | — |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 299,213 | | | 626,381 | | | 246,077 |
e. 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 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.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.

The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
f. Redemption Fees. Effective June 1, 2009, the redemption fee imposed on Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund was eliminated. Prior to June 1, 2009, shareholders of Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund were charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeemed, including redeeming by exchange within 60 days of acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee was deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and was paid to the Fund. These fees were accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
6. 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 unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% 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 11, 2009, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participated in the line of credit. Interest was 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, was 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, 2009, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.
7. 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II and Shareholders of Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund and Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth 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 Small Cap Value Fund, a series of Loomis Sayles Funds I and the Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund, a series of Loomis Sayles Funds II (collectively, the “Funds”), at September 30, 2009, 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, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund substantially outperformed its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 due primarily to strong performance from corporate credits and non-US-dollar denominated investments.
Bond markets rallied in recent quarters, reversing the losses sustained in 2008, when the widespread financial crisis seized up credit markets and dried up liquidity. As government efforts to stimulate the economy took hold and economic and credit-market conditions slowly improved, risk appetites returned briskly, pushing corporate spreads from their historically wide levels of December 2008 back down to levels seen prior to the September 2008 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The aggressive spread tightening bolstered performance across all major spread sectors within the Fund.
Within the investment grade credit sector, our overweight to BBB-rated cyclical industrial names dominated the performance lineup. Investment grade financials also performed well, as surviving banks and financial firms rebounded following a period of sharp decline and consolidation. Select utility names in the natural gas and electric industries also added modestly to results.
The high-yield segment experienced similar performance patterns. Our high yield financials, including CC-rated consumer finance, diversified finance and banking issues, gained the most from the resurgent demand for risk assets. High yield industrials also posted impressive gains, supported by issues in the auto, home construction, telecom (wireless) and pharmaceutical industries.
In the non-US-dollar segment, currencies of commodity-rich countries rallied on growth expectations. The most notable performance occurred among investments denominated in the Norwegian krone, New Zealand dollar, Australian dollar and Brazilian real.
High yield securities in the electric utilities sector were among the few weak areas in the Fund. From a quality perspective, the B- and CCC-quality groups detracted from relative performance, primarily due to certain securities within the auto, technology and supermarket industries.
OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, we continue to believe there is selective value in corporate bonds. Despite their recent tightening, spreads remain wide relative to long-term averages. A vast majority of the spread tightening that has taken place this year is due to the re-emergence of liquidity in the markets. Over the long term, further spread tightening from these levels will most likely be generated by an improvement in global and US economic fundamentals. Our view is that maintaining specific risk in the portfolio will present the best opportunity for long-term performance. The global “risk-on” trade has

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 www.loomissayles.com. 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.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund substantially outperformed its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to security selection and sector allocation.
The bond markets rallied in the second half of the reporting period, reversing losses sustained late in 2008, when widespread financial crises seized up credit markets and dried up liquidity. As government efforts to stimulate the economy took hold and economic conditions slowly improved, investors’ risk appetites returned briskly, pushing corporate spreads from their historic wide levels of December 2008 back to levels seen prior to the September 2008 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers.
Our allocation to investment grade industrials fared well, as the appearance of several promising economic “green shoots” fueled a broad-based rally in the corporate sector led by BBB-rated, higher-beta names. In particular, the bonds we selected in the telecommunications, cyclical industrials and technology sectors led performance within the investment grade industrials space. In the high yield corporate sector, the acquisition of new funding led to a rebound among financials. In addition, the credit arms of several US automakers, which benefited from government support, were positive movers in the sector.
The market’s return to riskier assets helped performance among our non-US-dollar-denominated issues. A surge in the price of industrial materials benefitted commodity currencies, namely the Norwegian krone, Brazilian real, and New Zealand dollar, while expectations of growth in China helped buoy the Indonesian rupiah and Singapore dollar. In addition, convertible issues rallied throughout much of 2009, as investors sought opportunities among biotech and pharmaceutical issuers.
On the negative side, a longer-than-Benchmark duration stance concentrated in long-term, investment grade corporate securities detracted from returns, as the yield curve continued to steepen for most of the fiscal year. In addition, investment-grade and high yield utilities lagged due to concerns about consumer demand and depressed natural gas prices. Despite an extended rally throughout much of 2009, bank loans were unable to recover completely from losses sustained in the second half of 2008.
OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, we continue to believe there is select value in corporate bonds. Despite their recent tightening, spreads remain wide relative to long-term averages. A vast majority of the spread tightening that has taken place this year is due to the re-emergence of liquidity in the markets. Over the long term, further spread tightening from these levels will most likely be generated by an improvement in global and US economic fundamentals. Our view is that

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to strong security selection coupled with the Fund’s relative overweight in the corporate sector.
Global bonds struggled in the first half of the reporting period, as the credit crisis deepened and investors’ flight to safety accelerated. The global recession, illiquid capital markets and depleted investor confidence caused corporate spreads to widen to record levels early in the fiscal year. The worst performing bonds—and the greatest detractors to Fund performance—included those issued by banks, brokers and finance companies, which struggled as worries about the global banking system weighed on investors. Sentiment changed sharply in the second half of the fiscal year. Signs that the worldwide economy and financial system were on the mend, combined with investors’ desire for yield, helped spark a turnaround in the global bond market. Risk aversion subsided, and credit spreads tightened to pre-financial crisis levels.
Within the corporate sector, the Fund’s overweight positions in the US, UK and European corporate bond markets drove the Fund’s outperformance. In addition, the Fund’s exposure to the high yield and emerging markets sectors was a positive contributor to relative and absolute performance, as improved investor risk appetites and strong liquidity led to higher returns.
From a currency perspective, the Fund’s overweight positions in the Norwegian krone and Australian dollar also aided performance, due to investors’ willingness to take on risk and bid up currencies that showed increasing global growth prospects. While Scandinavian currencies enhanced the Fund’s overall performance, our small exposure to the Icelandic krona detracted from returns. In addition, the Fund’s underweight in the Japanese yen detracted from performance, as the yen strengthened against the US dollar during the period.
OUTLOOK
We expect the US economy to stage a weak recovery, hindered by high unemployment and sluggish consumer and investment spending. Therefore, we have reduced the Fund’s credit spread positions and increased its exposure to non-US dollar currencies. We are maintaining our bias to reduce dollar duration in anticipation of higher yields next year, but we are in no hurry to implement that strategy.

FUND AND MANAGER REVIEW
Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund

John Hyll
Manager since January 2003

Cliff Rowe, CFA
Manager since January 2003
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to our sector allocation and duration positioning. During the year, the nominal yield on 10-year Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) decreased to 3.31% as of September 30, 2009, from 3.83% on September 30, 2008. The yield on five-year TIPS decreased to 2.32% at the end of September 2009 from 2.98% at the end of September 2008. The real and nominal Treasury yield curves steepened during the year, as the Federal Reserve Board cut rates and then held them steady in a range between 0.00% and 0.25% for the balance of the fiscal year.
TIPS struggled in the first half of the reporting period, when inflation concerns took a back seat to the global financial crisis and the market’s desire for nominal Treasurys. However, TIPS rebounded in the second half, as improving liquidity, government support and increased risk appetites encouraged investors to move back into the market. At the sector level, the Fund’s allocation to TIPS (83% of the Fund at the end of the fiscal year) proved to be the largest positive contributor to performance.
Overall, the Fund’s non-TIPS exposure also contributed favorably to performance. In particular, the rally among corporate issues in the second half of the fiscal year led to significant spread tightening. A renewed interest in risk helped generate better returns among lower-quality securities. The Fund’s high yield and investment grade industrials performed well, with securities in the financials sector posting particularly strong results. In addition, our duration strategy, which we concentrated in long term TIPS and investment grade corporate bonds, bolstered performance as investors sought yield in the second half of the fiscal year.
Our non-US dollar holdings were performance laggards for the fiscal year, primarily due to the impact of the global recession. Specifically, securities denominated in the Singapore dollar and Mexican peso generated the poorest results.
OUTLOOK
Although inflation remains relatively tame near term, the longer-term outlook suggests inflation may increase, due to the considerable amount of government stimulus in the system and the massive expansion of the Federal Reserve Board’s balance sheet. In this environment, we believe TIPS continue to offer good value.
We still see attractive opportunities among corporate bonds and in select currencies. Despite their recent tightening, spreads remain wide relative to their long term averages and we think they still have room to narrow. Near term, investors searching for yield will likely drive the spread tightening, but we believe an improving economy should be the driving force over the longer term. High yield corporate bonds may also be among the top performers, due to declining default rates and improved market access.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 largely due to an underweight in lower-quality securities, which generally outperformed higher-rated credits for the period.
In the first half of the period, the lack of liquidity significantly affected valuations across the credit spectrum. Fears of a systemic meltdown drove dramatic volatility in the high yield market, as the credit crisis sent investors toward Treasurys and other high-quality assets. High yield bonds and highly leveraged loans did not perform well in this environment and significantly detracted from the Fund’s returns. However, in the second half of the reporting period, risk assets staged a sharp turnaround on renewed investor optimism, a return of market liquidity and a desire for higher yield. An influx of new capital into the credit markets and new issue activity, coupled with the government’s monetary policy efforts, assisted in creating one of the largest technical high yield rallies on record. Securities with B credit ratings and non-rated convertibles were the strongest performers during the period, in the Fund.
Overall, the Fund’s overweight to investment grade credit handicapped relative performance, because the high yield sector was the top-performing fixed-income asset class. Specifically, the Fund’s underweight in high yield financials represented the largest detractor to performance. This sector reaped the benefits of the market’s capital inflows and new issuance in the second half of the period. In addition, our specific US-dollar and non-US-dollar-denominated holdings in the finance and banking industries posted poor relative performance.
The Fund’s high yield industrials contributed the most to performance for the period. In addition, consumer non-cyclicals—specifically, pharmaceuticals and health care credits—performed particularly well due to merger-and-acquisition discussions and the current debate over universal health insurance. Our holdings in the communication industry also contributed positively, while out-of-Benchmark positions in convertibles and investment grade financials enhanced results.
OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, we continue to believe there is select value in corporate bonds. Despite their recent tightening, spreads remain wide relative to long-term averages. A vast majority of the spread tightening that has taken place this year is due to the re-emergence of liquidity in the markets. Over the long term, further spread tightening from these levels will most likely be generated by an improvement in global and US economic fundamentals. Our view is that

Manager since December 2005

Cliff Rowe, CFA

Richard Raczkowski
Manager since December 2005
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to strong security selection combined with an overweight to corporate securities and an underweight to US Treasurys.
Risk aversion and a massive flight to quality characterized the first half of the period, inflating US Treasury prices and pushing Treasury yields to historic lows. The investment climate reversed course in the second half of the fiscal year, when a market wide technical rally offset losses incurred in the prior six months. In particular, corporate debt posted robust returns, as the risk aversion diminished and liquidity improved. In this environment, our underweight to US Treasury securities helped relative performance.
The Fund’s allocation to investment grade industrials boosted performance, as the appearance of several promising economic “green shoots” in early 2009 fueled a broad-based rally in the corporate space, led by higher beta names with BBB credit ratings. Investor demand for yield largely outpaced supply, which caused spreads to tighten. Our telecommunication and cyclical industrial holdings drove performance, followed by select technology names.
The reopening of the new issue market helped high yield financials rebound from the lows they touched in the second half of 2008. Our high yield industrials contributed positively to performance, as investors returned to risk assets and pursued higher yields.
Volatility and continued concerns about rising defaults led to lagging performance for our securitized holdings through the first half of the period. Nevertheless, beginning in early 2009, these securities rebounded significantly, as the federal government expanded its support of the securitized market and risk appetites and liquidity returned to the market. Along with our securitized assets, our small position in the Singapore dollar detracted from performance.
OUTLOOK
As we wait for the economic recovery to stabilize, we believe the Fund is well positioned. We expect market volatility to remain elevated throughout the remainder of the year, which we believe should provide additional investment opportunities. Going forward, we believe active management and prudent security selection will drive returns.

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 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 the 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 outperformed its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to security selection within the corporate credit segment and to sector allocation and exposure within specific securitized markets.
Risk aversion and a massive flight to quality characterized the first half of the period, inflating US Treasury prices and pushing Treasury yields to historic lows. The market climate reversed course in the second half of the fiscal year, when a market-wide technical rally offset losses incurred in the prior six months. In particular, corporate debt posted robust returns, as the risk-aversion trade slowed and liquidity improved. In this environment, our underweight to US Treasury and agency securities helped relative performance.
Investment grade credit was the leading contributor to Fund performance during the year, led primarily by industrials. Prudent security selection among high-beta telecommunication, consumer cyclical and non-cyclical, and transportation names drove performance. In addition, exposure within the financial sector, combined with strong security selection, enhanced performance as continued government support for the sector helped returns. Within the securitized markets, our position in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) boosted performance. CMBS rallied on increased support from the federal government’s Term Asset-Backed Loan Facility (TALF) and Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP).
Out-of-Benchmark allocations to non-US-dollar-denominated securities weighed slightly on performance, as currency volatility forced mixed returns. Issues denominated in the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, and Indonesian rupiah fared the worst. In addition, the Fund realized lagging results from asset-backed and residential mortgage-backed securities, where security selection drove down results.
OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, we continue to believe there is select value in corporate bonds. Despite their recent tightening, spreads remain wide relative to long-term averages. A vast majority of the spread tightening that has taken place this year is due to the re-emergence of liquidity in the markets. Over the long term, further spread tightening from these levels will most likely be generated by an improvement in global and US economic fundamentals. Our view is that maintaining specific risk in the portfolio will present the best opportunity for long term performance.
The global “risk-on” trade has weakened the US dollar, and we expect this may continue. Currencies from developed and emerging markets may offer more long-term upside potential, particularly the European peripheral currencies and Asian currencies tied to China and its global-growth story.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other Fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in 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, 2009 through September 30, 2009. 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 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 (the “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 and (v) information obtained through the completion of a questionnaire by the Adviser (the Trustees are consulted as to the information requested through that questionnaire). The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also consider other matters such as (i) the Adviser’s financial results and financial condition, (ii) each Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Adviser’s investment staff and its use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (iii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares 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, if applicable, 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, (vii) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (viii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Adviser.
In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their 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 each Fund’s performance and fee differentials against each Fund’s peer group of funds, 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 or other representatives of the Adviser make 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 2009. The Agreements were continued for a one-year period for the 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. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included the factors listed below.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the 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 considered the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation in order to attract and retain capable personnel.
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.
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.
18
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 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, (2) that the Fund’s performance, although lagging in certain recent periods, was strong over the longer term and (3) that the Fund’s more recent performance was competitive when compared to relevant performance benchmarks.
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 and the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of mutual fund assets. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory fee, 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 while the Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund’s advisory fee was above the median of a peer group of funds, the Fund had not yet reached asset levels at which recently added breakpoints would have an impact on fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio was below the median for its peer group of funds. 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 changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability, including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser 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. The Trustees also noted management’s history of proposing additional advisory fee breakpoints as the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund grew to substantially larger scale.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fee charged to each of the Funds was 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 or caps. The Trustees noted that two of the Loomis Sayles Funds in this report had breakpoints in their advisory fees and that each of the Funds was subject to an expense cap. In addition, for Loomis Sayles Bond Fund, the Trustees considered the additional breakpoints implemented in December 2007 and, for the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund and the Loomis Sayles Fixed Income Fund, the Trustees considered the effects of recent market volatility on the Funds’ assets and its possible effect on the Funds’ future profitability. 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.
19
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:
• | | the effect of recent market and economic turmoil on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund. |
• | | whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the 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. |
• | | the Trustees’ review and discussion of the Funds’ advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years. |
Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of the existing Agreements should be continued through June 30, 2010.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009
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). The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Loomis Sayles 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. Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through November 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring recognition in the financial statements or additional disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements.
a. Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including 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. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at their most recent settlement price. Credit default swaps are valued based on prices supplied by a pricing service, if available, or quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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.
133
The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.
b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Negative principal adjustments (in the event of deflation) are recorded as reductions of interest income to the extent of interest income earned. The amount by which negative principal adjustments exceed interest income earned or positive principal adjustments on a cumulative basis, is recorded as an increase to the cost basis of the security. 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 investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Certain Funds may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
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 Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts require the movement of cash or securities to or from the counterparty as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.
e. Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index (e.g., an interest-bearing security) for a specified price on a specified future date.

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker as “initial margin” an amount of cash or liquid securities. As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of the collateral held. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.
Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures have standardized contracts and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment guaranteed by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are limited.
f. Swap Agreements. Each Fund may enter into credit default swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties (the “protection buyer” and “protection seller”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer (“reference obligation”) for a specified time period. The reference obligation may be one or more debt securities or an index of such securities. The Funds may be either the protection buyer or the protection seller. The protection buyer is obligated to pay the protection seller a stream of payments (“fees”) over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event, such as a default or a downgrade in credit rating, occurs on the reference obligation. If a credit event occurs, the protection seller must pay the protection buyer the agreed upon notional value (“par value”) of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation (or may pay the difference between the par value and market value of the reference obligation). The Funds may also make upfront payments as the protection buyer or receive upfront payments as the protection seller.
The notional amounts of credit default swaps are not recorded in the financial statements. Credit default swaps are marked-to-market daily. Fluctuations in the value of credit default swaps are recorded in the Statement of Operations as change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Fees are accrued in accordance with the terms of the agreement and are recorded in the Statement of Operations as realized gain or loss when received or paid. Upfront fees received or paid by the Funds are amortized or accreted over the term of the agreement and recorded as realized gain or loss. Payments made or received by the Funds as a result of a credit event or termination of the agreement are recorded as realized gain or loss.
Credit default swaps are privately negotiated and traded between counterparties and, as such, are subject to the risk that a party to the agreement will not be able to meet its obligations. Counterparty risk is managed through the posting of collateral and, as a result, the risk of loss to a Fund from counterparty default should be limited to the extent a Fund is undercollateralized. In addition to collateral requirements, the Funds also require counterparties to meet minimum credit quality requirements. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding credit default swaps by segregating liquid assets in the form of collateral.
g. 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 each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of September 30, 2009 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next 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, and are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
h. 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, premium
135
amortization accruals, dividend redesignations, return of capital and capital gain distributions from REITs. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, premium amortization accruals, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustments, forward contracts mark to market, futures contracts mark to market, defaulted bond interest, REIT basis adjustments and adjustments to inflation-protected securities. 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, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2009 Distributions Paid From: | | 2008 Distributions Paid From: |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, if any, are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

i. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. 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.

j. Delayed Delivery Commitments. Purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery instruments may have a similar effect on a Fund’s net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. The price of the underlying instruments and the date when they will be paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. If a Fund enters into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents will be maintained in an amount at least equal to the commitment with the custodian and/ or broker. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
k. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds 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.
As of September 30, 2009, there were no securities on loan.
l. 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.
m. Due to/from Brokers. Transactions and positions in forward foreign currency contracts and credit default swaps are primarily maintained, cleared and held by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between the Fund and the various broker/dealers. Due to/from brokers’ balances in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities represent cash and/or securities received or paid as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts and/or credit default swaps. In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash and/or securities held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.
3. Fair Value Measurements. Effective October 1, 2008, the Funds adopted accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures which establish a hierarchy for which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | | Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
• | | Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

4. Derivatives. Effective April 1, 2009, the Funds adopted accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities which require enhanced disclosures. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that the Funds currently use include forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and swaps (including credit default swaps).
The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Funds’ holdings of foreign securities. The Funds may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the funds. Global Bond Fund and Inflation Protected Securities Fund engaged in forward foreign currency contract transactions during the year ended September 30, 2009.
The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Funds’ investments in fixed income securities. The Funds will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that they invest in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Funds may use futures contracts to manage the Funds’ duration in order to control interest rate risk without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. Global Bond Fund, Inflation Protected Securities Fund, and Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund engaged in futures contract transactions during the year ended September 30, 2009.
The Funds are subject to the risk that companies in which the Funds invest will fail financially or otherwise be unwilling or unable to meet their obligations to the Funds. The Funds may use credit default swaps to reduce their credit exposure to issuers of bonds they hold without having to sell the bonds. As a protection buyer, the Funds have the ability to hedge the downside risk of an issuer or group of issuers. As a protection seller, the Funds have the ability to gain exposure to an issuer or group of issuers whose bonds are unavailable or in short supply in the cash bond market, as well as realize additional income in the form of the fees paid by the protection buyer. Global Bond Fund engaged in credit default swap transactions during the year ended September 30, 2009.

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.

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.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
f. Interfund Transactions. A Fund may purchase a security from, or sell a security to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common Trustees.

10. Concentration of Risk. 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 expropriation. 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.

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 Bond Fund, Loomis Sayles Fixed Income Fund, Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund, Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund, Loomis Sayles Institutional High Income Fund, Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund and Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund, each a series of Loomis Sayles Funds I (collectively, the “Funds”), at September 30, 2009, 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, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 | $71.7 million
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to security selection within the high yield sector and our out-of-Benchmark exposure to investment grade credit, convertible bonds, and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS).
Following the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in September 2008, the financial crisis culminated with high yield spreads widening to historic levels. In early 2009, government programs and investor demand for risk contributed to a rally within the high yield sector. The Fund was well positioned to take advantage of the subsequent compression in spreads. In particular, the Fund’s specific credit exposure among B-rated securities outperformed the Benchmark.
The return of liquidity to the markets during the second half of the reporting period dramatically lowered the default expectations for high yield securities. Companies regained the ability to refinance upcoming debt maturities through the capital markets. These improved conditions were partly responsible for the strong performance from our high yield industrial issuers, notably those in the communication and consumer non-cyclical sectors.
Like the high yield sector, investment grade credit and convertible bonds benefited from resumed investor risk appetites in the second half of the period. Government programs continued to support the mortgage-related sector, which benefited our exposure to non-agency RMBS.
Similarly, enhanced liquidity provided by the government’s Temporary Loan Guarantee Program worked in conjunction with the technical rally to drive returns in the financials sector. However, our underweight to high yield financials and investment grade banking names dragged down the Fund’s relative performance. In addition, our underweight to bonds with CC and C credit ratings weighed on performance because bonds with the lowest quality ratings were best performers in the Index. The re-opening of the primary market has tempered default expectations, yet little has changed fundamentally regarding the credit quality of most of these companies. We continue to believe the majority of defaults will come from the lower-rated segments and we are maintaining our underweight position.
OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, we continue to believe there is select value in corporate bonds. Despite their recent tightening, spreads remain wide relative to long-term averages. A vast majority of the spread tightening that has taken place this
1
year is due to the re-emergence of liquidity in the markets. Over the long term, further spread tightening from these levels will most likely be generated by an improvement in global and US economic fundamentals. Our view is that maintaining specific risk in the portfolio will present the best opportunity for long-term performance.
The global “risk-on” trade has weakened the US dollar, and we expect this may continue. Currencies from developed and emerging markets may offer more long-term upside potential, particularly the European peripheral currencies and Asian currencies tied to China and its global-growth story.

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.
Because the fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities, 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. Funds that invest in securities denominated in, or receive revenues in, foreign currency are subject to currency risk. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Because the fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade, the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. These events could reduce or eliminate the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments. Lower-rated debt securities have speculative characteristics because of the credit risk of their issuers and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher-rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity which, in turn, may adversely affect the value of these securities and that of the fund. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Securitized Bond Index, due to its holdings in sectors offering strong credit quality and significant yield advantage, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS). Overall, we modestly reduced our positions in ABS and CMBS, but we still maintained a significant overweight.
Residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and CMBS issued by non-Government-Sponsored Entities (non-GSEs) were among the best performers. Unlike GSE securities, non-GSEs do not benefit from implied government support and had suffered in previous periods.
These sectors had become significantly undervalued in prior periods, due to growing concerns about real estate and mortgages. However, beginning in the second quarter of 2009 and continuing into the third quarter, investors recognized the compelling values available among these relatively high-quality securities. This was partly a result of government-related efforts aimed at improving liquidity. Investor risk preferences shifted away from safety and toward these opportunities, which led to a sharp rebound among securities that were not backed by GSEs. The combination of rising prices and a significant yield advantage led to strong performance.
The Fund’s holdings in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued by GSEs underperformed during the period. Although this sector performed well during the first half of the period, it lagged as investor risk appetites increased during the second half. In addition, the declining interest rate environment caused our shorter-maturity securities to underperform longer-term securities.
OUTLOOK
We expect fundamental weakness to persist for some time in the mortgage and consumer loan markets, but we believe the securities we are buying are well protected from credit risk and offer compelling value. In particular, our recent purchases contain significant credit enhancements designed to absorb credit losses and protect senior securities.
We believe the first interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve Board will occur later than the market currently expects. Therefore, we do not expect any significant near-term changes in the interest rate environment. We expect our mortgage positions to benefit from stable interest rates, and we will continue to look for opportunities to take advantage of the steep yield curve, focusing on income rather than price appreciation. In the intermediate term, we expect a gradual rise in interest rates.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“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, 2009 is available on (i) the Funds’ website and (ii) the SEC’s website.
Quarterly Portfolio Schedules
The Funds file a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.
UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
Typically, mutual fund shareholders incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; 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, 2009 through September 30, 2009. 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 (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 (the “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’ 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, if applicable, 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, (vii) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (viii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Adviser.
In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their 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. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing each Fund’s performance and fee differentials against each Fund’s peer group of funds, 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 or other representatives of the Adviser make 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 2009. 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. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included the factors listed below.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the 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 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.
The Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of the variety of fund and shareholder services offered.
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.
6
Each Fund 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 Agreement. These factors included the following: (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Funds’ Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Funds’ investment objective and policies and (2) that the Funds’ more recent performance was competitive when compared to relevant performance benchmarks or peer groups.
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. 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 fee, of 0%, charged to each of the Funds was 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:
• | | the effect of recent market and economic turmoil on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund. |
• | | whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the 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 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. |
• | | the Trustees’ review and discussion of the Funds’ advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years. |
Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of the existing Agreements should be continued through June 30, 2010.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009
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. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Loomis Sayles 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. Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through November 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring recognition in the financial statements or additional disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements.
a. Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including 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. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued 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 a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis.
31
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 investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the High Income Opportunities Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The High Income Opportunities Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.
d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The High Income Opportunities 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. At September 30, 2009, there were no open forward foreign currency contracts.
e. Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index (e.g., an interest-bearing security) for a specified price on a specified future date.
When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker as “initial margin” an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities (such as U.S. Treasury bills or high-quality tax-exempt bonds acceptable to the broker). As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of the collateral held. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract, certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.
Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures have standardized contracts and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment guaranteed by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are limited.
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 each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of September 30, 2009 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued
September 30, 2009
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, defaulted bonds, distribution redesignations and paydown gains and losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to defaulted bond income accruals, premium amortization accruals, 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, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2009 Distributions Paid From: | | 2008 Distributions Paid From: |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | $ | 6,616,163 | | $ | 85,792 | | $ | 6,701,955 | | $ | 7,183,035 | | $ | 174,077 | | $ | 7,357,112 |
Securitized Asset Fund | | | 19,285,124 | | | — | | | 19,285,124 | | | 20,848,572 | | | — | | | 20,848,572 |
Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, if any, are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | High Income Opportunities Fund | | | Securitized Asset Fund | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 691,197 | | | $ | 6,388,925 | |

| | | | | | | | |
Total accumulated earnings | | $ | (11,213,627 | ) | | $ | (8,770,859 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
h. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. 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.
i. Delayed Delivery Commitments. Purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery instruments (identified in the Portfolio of Investments as TBA investments) may have a similar effect on a Fund’s net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. The price of the underlying instruments and the date when they will be paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. If a Fund enters into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents will be maintained in an amount at least equal to the commitment with the custodian and/or broker. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
33
j. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds 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.
As of September 30, 2009, there were no securities on loan.
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.
3. Fair Value Measurements. Effective October 1, 2008, the Funds adopted accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures which establish a hierarchy for which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of September 30, 2009, at value:

4. Derivatives. Effective April 1, 2009, the Funds adopted accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities which require enhanced disclosures. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that the Funds may use include futures contracts.
The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Funds’ investments in fixed income securities. The Funds will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that they invest in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Funds may use futures contracts to manage the Funds’ duration in order to control interest rate risk without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. Securitized Asset Fund engaged in futures contract transactions during the year ended September 30, 2009.

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, 2009, 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, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
