Institutional Class | | LSSIX |
Retail Class | | LCGRX |
Objective:
Long-term capital growth from investments in common stocks or other equity securities
Strategy:
Invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations that fall within the capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index or is $3 billion or less at the time of investment. Unlike the Index, the Fund may invest in companies of any size.
The fund may invest any portion of its assets in Canadian securities and up to 20% of assets in other foreign securities, including emerging markets securities.
Fund Inception Date:
December 31, 1996
Net Assets:
$127.8 million
Market Conditions
The period began with the stocks of financially-sound companies returning to favor after a six-month period in which highly-leveraged companies dominated performance. Stock performance remained robust through the first quarter of 2010, as investors generally remained upbeat about the economic recovery. Beginning in April, widely-publicized issues involving sovereign credit in Southern Europe, a slowing economy in China, lackluster domestic employment growth and the Gulf of Mexico oil spill weighed heavily on investor sentiment. These concerns fed growing anticipation of an economic slowdown, and stocks sold off through the next several months. Late in the period, investor sentiment shifted once again, as economic data were not as dire as many expected. In addition, talk about renewed Federal Reserve Board action to boost economic growth sparked investor optimism, and stocks rallied to close out the period.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund returned 21.16%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 14.79% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund’s strong performance relative to its benchmark was due primarily to stock selection in the healthcare and consumer discretionary sectors. In healthcare, shares of ev3, a medical device company focused on catheter-based technologies, rose in the first half of 2010 after the company announced it would be acquired by Covidien. In addition, Incyte, a biotechnology company developing treatments for breast cancer, arthritis and bone marrow diseases, advanced after reporting better-than-expected earnings due to improved cost management. In the consumer discretionary sector, shares of DSW, a footwear retailer, benefitted from stronger sales of seasonal products, while shares of
1 |
IMAX, a designer and manufacturer of projection and sound systems for theaters, advanced due to strong box office attendance at IMAX theatres and increased IMAX theater installations.
Utilities was the only sector in the fund with a negative impact on performance. One of the leading detractors from performance was Neutral Tandem, a telecommunication services company that fell in the first half of 2010 after reporting two consecutive quarters of disappointing growth. The company experienced a decline in pricing and lower-than-expected traffic, and the stock was sold.
Throughout the period, we reduced the fund’s weight in technology, but we still remain positive on the sector, and it remained one of the fund’s largest allocations. Some of the companies the fund owned were acquired by other companies, while we sold F5 Networks because it reached the fund’s maximum allowed market capitalization. We redeployed most of the assets from these sales into the producer durables, energy and consumer discretionary sectors. In producer durables, we added exposure to aerospace supply companies. In energy, we increased the fund’s allocation to exploration and production and energy service companies. Within consumer discretionary, we boosted exposure to auto parts companies.
Outlook
We have a positive view about the equity markets, despite the many potential obstacles that investors could face. Although the domestic economy is growing at a disappointing pace and employment remains a concern, the global economy appears to be expanding at a solid pace, particularly in Asia. We believe that many companies, either directly or indirectly linked to global economic developments, should benefit from this trend. We also believe that equity market volatility has started to diminish. Meanwhile, corporate profits appear to be growing surprisingly well for a period of sluggish growth. Based on historical trends for equity price-to-earnings multiples, we continue to believe that stock prices are low relative to earnings and represent an attractive opportunity.
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 fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates and by 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 U.S. 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.

Market Conditions
The equity markets were quite volatile during the period, trending higher, then lower, for weeks at a time. They ended on a positive note, with a double-digit rally during September. In general, mid-cap stocks outpaced small-cap stocks, and the growth style outperformed the value style, with banks and insurance stocks notable laggards. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) represented the top-performing segment of the Russell 2000 Value Index for the 12-month period, gaining more than 22%.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund returned 11.39%. The fund modestly underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, which returned 11.84% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
After a strong start, the fund lagged during the market rally that occurred during the first four months of 2010. While our focus on more stable business models and better balance sheets was somewhat out of phase with the market during that January-April rally, the fund proved resilient during a more difficult market in May and June. During the late spring/early summer sell-off, the fund’s orientation toward more stable companies and attention to value proved defensive in a weaker market. From a sector perspective, the fund was most challenged by performance in the financial services, materials and processing and consumer staples sectors. Within financials, the fund’s underweight in the surging REIT area created an especially strong headwind to performance.
The consumer discretionary, producer durable and technology sectors made the most positive contributions to performance during the period. Despite generally disappointing unemployment and economic statistics, sectors and stocks sensitive to economic growth performed well. The consumer discretionary sector’s

What You Should Know:
Value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall equity market during any given period. Small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than larger, more established companies. The secondary market for these stocks may be less liquid, which could adversely impact the Fund’s value.
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 and by 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 U.S. 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.
Fossil, a watch and accessories designer, was the fund’s top contributor. The company reported better-than-expected earnings, while expansion into new products and a shift toward higher price-point watches contributed to an improved outlook. Technology holding Sybase, an enterprise database and mobility software provider, also was among the top performers. The company’s stock rose sharply after SAP announced it would purchase Sybase for cash at a 55% premium.
Trading activity was modestly higher during the year, as we took profits in certain outperforming sectors and added to positions in lagging sectors. In the REIT segment, the additions of apartment owner UDR, data center operator DuPont Fabros Technology and healthcare facility manager BioMed Realty Trust reflected improving fundamentals. We also increased exposure to consumer discretionary, with the additions of auto supplier Tenneco and media and Internet content provider Liberty Media-Starz. We reduced the fund’s healthcare exposure by selling Almost Family and Medical Action Industries following company-specific disappointments. We also reduced the fund’s energy weight, selling Mariner Energy after the company agreed to be acquired by Apache. We also sold Penn Virginia and Hornbeck Offshore Services on deteriorating fundamentals.
Outlook
We have a positive view about the equity markets, despite the many potential obstacles that investors could face. Although the domestic economy is growing at a disappointing pace and employment remains a concern, the global economy appears to be expanding at a solid pace, particularly in Asia. We believe that many companies, either directly or indirectly linked to global economic developments, should benefit from this trend. We also believe that equity market volatility has started to diminish. Meanwhile, corporate profits appear to be growing surprisingly well for a period of sluggish growth. Based on historical trends for equity price-to-earnings multiples, we continue to believe that stock prices are low relative to earnings and represent an attractive opportunity.

The funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs 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, 2010 through September 30, 2010. 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
7 |
you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During the Period column as shown below for your class.
The second line in the table of each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review and Governance Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements, typically for an additional one-year period. After the Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements.
In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Funds’ investment adviser (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 the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Adviser and 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 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
| 10
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 Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.
The Board of Trustees most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at their meeting held in June 2010. 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, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including recent or planned investments by the Adviser in additional personnel or other resources. They also considered the administrative services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds.
For each Fund, the Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is part of a family of funds that offers shareholders the right to exchange shares of one type of fund for shares of another type of fund, and provides a variety of fund and shareholder services.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreements.
Investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information which compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party which analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics which also measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.
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 of funds for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Board concluded that other factors
11 |
relevant to performance supported renewal of the relevant Agreement. These factors included one or more of the following: (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; (2) that the Fund’s performance, although lagging in certain recent periods, was stronger over the longer term; and (3) that although the Fund’s performance lagged that of its relevant peer group for certain recent periods, performance was stronger when compared to the Fund’s relevant performance benchmark.
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 (such as institutional separate accounts), as well as information about differences in such fees. 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 and the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps. They noted that all of the Loomis Sayles Funds in this report have expense caps in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser under these caps.
The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates’ relationships with the Funds, and information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and 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
| 12
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 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 although each Fund’s management fee was not subject to breakpoints, each Fund’s management fee and overall net expense ratio 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 concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.
The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:
• | | the effect of recent market and economic 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 an affiliated Adviser. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest. |
13 |
• | | 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, 2011.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
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 Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
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). 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 distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to year-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
a. Valuation. Equity securities, including shares of 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.
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported 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 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.
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 of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of September 30, 2010 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 expired capital loss carryforwards, distribution redesignations 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 adjustments, deferred Trustees’ fees and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 Distributions Paid From: | | | 2009 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |

Differences between these amounts for the year ended September 30, 2009 and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the same period are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

The Small Cap Growth Fund had $138,314,515 of capital loss carryforwards expire in the current year.
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. 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. 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 may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.

For the year ended September 30, 2010, none of the Funds had loaned Securities under this agreement.
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.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of September 30, 2010, at value:

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 in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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, 2010, 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, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Institutional Class | | LSBDX |

Objective:
High total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation
Strategy:
Invests primarily in investment-grade fixed-income securities, although it may invest up to 35% of assets in lower-quality fixed-income securities and up to 20% of its assets in preferred stocks. The fund may invest any portion of its assets in Canadian securities and up to 20% of assets in other foreign securities, including emerging markets securities.

May 16, 1991
Retail Class:
December 31, 1996
Admin Class:
January 2, 1998
Net Assets:
$19,701.8 million
Market Conditions
Throughout much of the 12-month period, attention shifted from economic recovery to economic growth, and investors began to displace lingering economic pessimism with overdue optimism. However, the transition was far from smooth, as new concerns materialized and old ones resurfaced. In particular, increased anxiety about sovereign debt solvency in Europe, precarious macroeconomic data in the United States and China’s lending restrictions percolated through global credit markets. In waves, these factors alternately fostered and stymied the “risk-on” trade. Liquidity returned to the credit markets during the period, largely in the form of new issuance by firms refinancing debt. This trend supported high-yield and investment-grade performance.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Bond Fund returned 16.00%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 8.73% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark was primarily due to exposure to non-U.S.-dollar-denominated issues, high-yield credit and equity-sensitive convertible securities. Tentative signs of stability in Europe allayed investor fears and helped spark a currency rally against the U.S. dollar. This translated into sizable contributions from the fund’s investments denominated in the Mexican peso and the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars. The Indonesian rupiah and South Korean won also contributed modestly to performance. High-yield industrials were among the fund’s top performers, with positions in the technology, consumer cyclical and communication segments offering the strongest returns. An allocation to high-yield financials also contributed positively to results. Strong equity market performance during the 12-month period helped buoy the fund’s convertible bonds and preferred securities.
Performance detractors included high-yield utilities, which struggled due to forecasts of depressed growth and languishing energy prices, particularly for producers dependant on natural gas prices. In addition, fears of sovereign-debt risk in Europe and the Middle East sent investors scrambling away from government-related debt. While gains in several emerging markets offset some of this, sovereigns as a whole detracted during the year. Also, brokerage names suffered, as uncertainty regarding potential financial sector reforms in U.S. and European markets gave investors pause.
Outlook
We see a prolonged period of slow economic growth and low interest rates in the United States, Europe and Japan as the most influential and likely scenario for the remainder of 2010. Increased investor demand for yield should continue to benefit sectors of the market that offer substantial premiums over government bonds. The anticipation and investment positioning surrounding a second round of U.S. quantitative easing should continue to have wide-ranging ramifications for the markets.
Overall, our portfolio themes remain largely intact. Our assessment of the credit markets is consistent with previous quarters in 2010; selected relative value opportunities are still available in the current environment. Having the research expertise to identify the right securities is of utmost importance. We believe the fund remains positioned to take advantage of the slowly improving global economy. We continue to see what we believe to be incremental fundamental improvement in the corporate space. Our global approach allows us to look beyond the domestic markets for security-specific opportunities as well. As relative value diminishes in certain names, we will continue to reduce position sizes selectively.
We expect market volatility to be a constant presence going forward. We plan to take advantage of this volatility by opportunistically adding securities across many of the markets available to us. We believe that a combination of improving corporate fundamentals, emerging market growth expectations that exceed those of the developed world and strong technical demand for yield have created an environment that could continue to benefit the fund in the future.

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 waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would be lower.
(a) | | Cumulative performance is shown for the Institutional Class. Performance of the Retail and Admin Classes would be lower, due to higher fees. |

(c) | | See page 15 for a description of the indices. |
What you should know:
The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment-grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the U.S. 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 and by 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 U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of the fund’s investments to decline. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

What you should know:
The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment-grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the U.S. 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 and by 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 U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of the fund’s investments to decline. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

Objective:
High total investment return through a combination of high current income and capital appreciation
Strategy:
Invests primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities worldwide, although it may invest up to 20% of assets in lower-quality fixed-income securities.
Fund Inception Date:
May 10, 1991
Class Inception Date:
Institutional Class:
May 10, 1991
Retail Class:
December 31, 1996
Net Assets:
$2,311.9 million
Market Conditions
Global fixed-income markets generally remained volatile, as fears of a “double-dip” recession emerged in response to weak economic data in core countries. Following the “stress tests” of European Union banks, financial conditions in Europe improved, but sovereign debt risks remained. Most global government bond yields fell, and yield spreads tightened. In particular, high-yield and investment-grade spread levels narrowed relative to government issues. Strong growth in the emerging markets of Indonesia, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand exceeded growth in developed nations.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund returned 9.46%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 6.06% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund’s outperformance was primarily due to strong security selection combined with an overweight in the corporate sector and an underweight in U.S. Treasury securities. In addition, the fund’s exposure to high-yield and emerging market securities boosted performance, as investor demand for yield helped generate strong performance for these sectors. Long-duration positions in U.S.-dollar-denominated corporate bonds were also additive. (Duration is a measure of interest-rate sensitivity.) Additionally, we maintained a longer-than-benchmark duration in U.S. corporate bonds, which enhanced returns as bond yields fell.
From a currency perspective, investors favored countries offering global growth prospects, and the fund’s overweight positions in the Swedish krona, Indonesian rupiah, Mexican peso and Singapore dollar contributed positively to performance.
The Japanese yen rose sharply against the U.S. dollar during the period, and the fund’s underweight position in the yen detracted from relative performance. While the fund’s exposure to Scandinavian currencies enhanced performance overall, its small exposure to the Norwegian krone detracted from performance. In addition, the fund’s position in short-duration U.S. Treasuries dampened returns, considering long-term U.S. Treasury yields declined during the period.
Outlook
Looking ahead, riskier asset classes and non-dollar currency momentum likely will be dominated by the timing and magnitude of future Federal Reserve balance sheet expansion. Outside the United States, the European Central Bank is passively reducing its balance sheet, which is sending the euro higher. Japan intervened, but we do not believe this action will hold down the yen. We are keeping the fund’s non-dollar exposures largely unchanged. We have been slightly reducing corporate credit holdings, and we may continue to reduce exposure here. Durations among the major market benchmarks are lengthening, but we do not plan to extend the fund’s duration, preferring to maintain a more conservative strategy for now.

Retail Class | | LIPRX |
Objective:
High total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation
Strategy:
Invests primarily in inflation-protected securities with emphasis on debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury.
Fund Inception Date:
May 20, 1991
Class Inception Date:
Institutional Class:
May 20, 1991
Retail Class:
May 28, 2010
Net Assets:
$13.3 million
Market Conditions
Throughout the period, rates moved lower across the yield curve, ending the period anchored near zero at the short end. Fears about a “double-dip” recession that surfaced in April were somewhat alleviated by early July, helping to buoy investor sentiment into the final months of the period. Despite pockets of volatility along the way, strong demand for riskier asset classes drove corporate yields down as the recovery paced along. The new-issue market remained active, with a primary focus on refinancing, which has helped retrench and strengthen corporate credit profiles.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund returned 9.58%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index, which returned 8.89% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Out-of-benchmark exposure to corporate credit was a primary driver of the fund’s outperformance during the period. Both high-yield and investment-grade industrial names within the communications, basic industry and consumer products segments offered robust returns and aided results. Within the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) sector, the fund’s holdings in long-duration securities had the greatest influence on results. (Duration is a measure of interest-rate sensitivity.) Overall, longer-duration positions fared well and added to performance. Small, out-of-benchmark positions in the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar also contributed favorably to performance.
Agency preferred securities, which struggled on concerns about sub-par U.S. housing-market data and the government’s continued involvement in the market, detracted from performance. The fund’s allocation to these securities was small, and the overall effect on performance was relatively benign.
Outlook
We believe the TIPS market continues to offer relative value. We believe the sentiment that has depressed U.S. Treasury yields has also lowered real yields on TIPS. Buy-and-hold investors may find a better return at maturity relative to nominal U.S. Treasuries, due to the likelihood that, over time, breakevens are likely to widen toward richer levels as inflation concerns develop. We also believe yield spreads on corporate bonds have room to tighten further, and we will opportunistically look to add value by focusing on issue selection and tapping the new issue market, rather than altering the fund’s broad segment exposure.

Symbol:

Institutional Class | | LSHIX |
Objective:
High total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation
Strategy:
Invests in primarily lower-quality fixed-income securities and other securities that are expected to produce a relatively high level of income, (including income-producing preferred and common stocks).
The fund may invest any portion of its assets in Canadian securities and up to 50% of assets in other foreign securities, including emerging markets securities.
Fund Inception Date:
June 5, 1996
Fund Registration Date:
March 7, 1997
Net Assets:
$383.7 million
Market Conditions
A slow, uneven global economic recovery, incremental fundamental credit improvement and strong technical demand for yield and riskier asset classes characterized the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2010. Periods of volatility sprang up due to uncertainty regarding the European sovereign debt crisis and lower domestic and global economic growth projections. Record new issuance was a constant theme, as the bid for risk and positive fund flows helped corporate borrowers access the primary markets to refinance existing debt, improve credit profiles and extend the ever-present wall of maturities in high yield. Credit fundamentals continued to improve, albeit slowly, as corporate borrowers maintained sizable cash reserves and continued to cut costs.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Institutional High Income Fund returned 17.06%. The fund underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, which returned 18.44% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
While the fund’s high-yield financials generated strong absolute performance, an underweight in the sector hampered performance relative to the benchmark. Financials posted strong gains following generally positive domestic and European “stress test” results. Nevertheless, uncertainty regarding the implementation of new financial regulations remains. Out-of-benchmark equity positions significantly underperformed the benchmark, although returns were positive and on pace with equity markets for the period. A small allocation to preferred credits posted the only negative sector returns, on average, in the fund. A small allocation to C-rated securities was the only segment that posted negative absolute returns, as investors seemed to abandon lower-rated high-yield credits. Securities denominated in Iceland’s krona experienced losses as the currency plunged.
Positions in high-yield and investment-grade industrials represented the fund’s strongest-performing corporate sectors, as investors sought growth from corporate securities they believed would fare well as the economy recovered. Strong corporate earnings also fed both sectors. The fund’s high-yield utilities also posted strong returns, as investors found value in a sector that experienced sell-offs for multiple quarters. In addition, selected out-of-benchmark positions in foreign-currency-denominated securities contributed significantly to positive performance as investors reached for yield. The fund benefited from holdings in developing countries, in general, and from commodity-based economies that experienced relatively strong recoveries. The Indonesian rupiah, euro, Brazilian real and Mexican peso posted the greatest currency-based contributions. Overall, securities rated BBB through B experienced the strongest returns relative to the benchmark.
Outlook
We see a prolonged period of slow economic growth and low interest rates in the United States, Europe and Japan as the most likely scenario for the remainder of 2010. Increased investor demand for yield should continue to benefit sectors that offer substantial premiums over government bonds. The anticipation and investment positioning surrounding a second round of U.S. quantitative easing should continue to have wide-ranging ramifications for the markets.
Overall, our portfolio themes remain largely intact. Our assessment of the credit markets is consistent with previous quarters; selected relative value opportunities are still available in the current environment. Having the research expertise to identify the right securities is of utmost importance. We believe that the fund remains positioned to take advantage of the slowly improving global economy. We continue to see what we believe to be incremental fundamental improvement in the corporate space. Our global approach allows us to look beyond the domestic markets for security-specific opportunities as well. As relative value diminishes in certain names, we will continue to reduce position sizes selectively.
We expect market volatility to be a constant presence going forward. We plan to take advantage of this volatility by opportunistically adding securities across many of the markets available to us. We believe that a combination of improving corporate fundamentals, emerging market growth expectations that exceed those of the developed world and strong technical demand for yield have created an environment that could continue to benefit the fund in the future.

Market Conditions
Throughout the period, rates moved lower across the yield curve, anchoring close to zero at the short end. Fears about a “double-dip” recession that surfaced in April were somewhat alleviated by early July, helping to buoy investor sentiment over the final months of the period. Despite pockets of volatility, strong demand for riskier asset classes pushed corporate spreads tighter. An active new-issue market helped satisfy this demand, as corporations focused on refinancing their debt, helping retrench and strengthen corporate credit profiles.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Bond Fund returned 10.67%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 7.77% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Security selection was a key source of performance throughout the year, as the fund’s sector weights remained largely unchanged. The fund’s out-of-benchmark allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) provided the largest contribution to return. While questions remain on the overall health of the sector, the fund’s super senior CMBS holdings rallied, aided by strong demand for fixed-income securities with attractive yields. In addition, the fund’s overweight in investment-grade credit boosted performance, as improving corporate fundamentals benefited the sector. In particular, the fund’s holdings in the industrials sector, including communication, technology and energy names, along with certain finance companies and bank holdings, drove returns. Exposure to some longer-duration U.S. Treasuries propped up returns in the sector due to the continued downward trend in rates. Duration is a measure of interest-rate sensitivity.
Despite positive absolute returns, the fund’s mortgage-backed securities (MBS) allocation had a muted effect on relative performance over the period as securities with strong performance saw gains offset by shorter-duration positioning as interest rates fell.
Outlook
We believe the fund is positioned to take advantage of a gradual economic recovery, even though U.S. interest rates likely will remain low for the foreseeable future. We expect credit trends among corporate securities to continue to improve. We believe uncertainty about future regulation and the pace of the recovery has caused corporate managements to be more prudent and conservative with their approach. We believe corporate bond yield spreads have room to tighten further, and we will opportunistically seek to add value by focusing on security selection rather than altering our broad segment exposure. We also continue to find value in super-senior tranches of CMBS, despite the considerable rally already experienced. In our view, CMBS may be one of the cheapest sectors on a relative spread basis.

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 U.S. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the U.S. 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 and by 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 U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of the fund’s investments to decline. The fund can hold up to 10% of its net 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.

Symbols:
| | |
Institutional Class | | LSIGX |
Objective:
Above-average total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation
Strategy:
Invests in primarily investment-grade fixed-income securities, although it may invest up to 10% of its assets in lower-quality fixed-income securities and up to 10% of its assets in preferred stocks. The fund may invest any portion of its assets in securities of Canadian issuers and up to 20% of assets in securities of other foreign issuers, including emerging markets.
Fund Inception Date:
July 1, 1994
Fund Registration Date:
March 7, 1997
Net Assets:
$473.2 million
Market Conditions
The fixed-income market rally that began in early 2009 continued into the second quarter of 2010, when volatility returned and left security prices range bound. During the rally, investors turned to riskier asset classes in search of yield, which led to robust returns for high-yield bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and equity-sensitive convertible and preferred securities. Overall, yields on corporate bonds came down, and liquidity remained strong during the period. New-issue volume remained robust throughout the period, allowing companies to refinance debt at record-low interest rates. Corporations continued to find ways to cut costs and build cash reserves. Balance sheets continued to improve, as many companies avoided shareholder-friendly activities, such as share buybacks and mergers and acquisitions.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund returned 14.59%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 8.73% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Investment-grade credit was the leading contributor to fund performance during the period, led primarily by prudent security selection in the transportation, communication and technology industries. A substantial allocation to non-U.S.-dollar holdings in the commodity-rich nations of Canada, Australia, Brazil and New Zealand provided strong returns. As the risk trade flourished throughout the period, global allocations found favor with investors searching for higher yields. Similarly, out-of-benchmark allocations to high-yield, convertible and preferred securities bolstered the fund’s relative performance. Corporate bond yields came down during the period, as investors gained confidence in strengthening corporate balance sheets and lowering default rates. Additionally, our positioning among CMBS, one of the top-performing areas during the period, enhanced performance. At the same time, a meaningful underweight allocation to U.S. Treasuries and agencies helped results, as investors sought higher yields from riskier asset classes.
The fund had a shortened duration stance within the asset-backed securities (ABS) sector and gave up some return with this positioning, as a flattening yield curve hampered the sector’s relative performance. In addition, a small allocation to mortgage-backed securities (MBS) had a muted effect on performance.
Outlook
We see a prolonged period of slow economic growth and low interest rates in the United States, Europe and Japan as the most influential and likely scenario for the remainder of 2010. Increased investor demand for yield should continue to benefit sectors of the market that offer substantial premiums over government bonds. The anticipation and investment positioning surrounding a second round of U.S. quantitative easing should continue to have wide-ranging ramifications for the markets.
Overall, our portfolio themes remain largely intact. Our assessment of the credit markets is consistent with previous quarters in 2010; selected relative value opportunities are still available in the current environment. Having the research expertise to identify the right securities is of utmost importance. We believe the fund remains positioned to take advantage of a slowly improving global economy. We continue to see what we believe to be incremental fundamental improvement in the corporate space. Our global approach allows us to look beyond the domestic markets for security-specific opportunities as well. As relative value diminishes in certain names, we will continue to reduce position sizes selectively.
We expect market volatility to be a constant presence going forward. We plan to take advantage of this volatility by opportunistically adding securities across many of the markets available to us. We believe that a combination of improving corporate fundamentals, emerging market growth expectations that exceed those of the developed world and strong technical demand for yield have created an environment that could continue to benefit the fund in the future.

What you should know:
The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the U.S. 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 and by 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 U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of the fund’s investments to decline.

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, 2010 through September 30, 2010. 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 the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Adviser and 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 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 Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.
The Board of Trustees most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at their meeting held in June 2010. 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, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the 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.
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.
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.
| 18
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 the Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund, the Board noted that while the 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 (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, and (2) that the Fund’s 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. 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 (such as institutional separate accounts), as well as information about differences in such fees. 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, as well as the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation and to expend addition resources as the Fund grows in size. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps for various Funds in the Fund family. They noted that 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 and Loomis Sayles Institutional High Income Fund’s advisory fees were each above the median of a peer group of funds, each Fund’s total expense ratio was below the median for its peer group. 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, whether the Adviser had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to such Funds and the overall profit margin of the Adviser compared to other investment managers. 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 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 concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.
The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:
• | | the effect of recent market and economic 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. |
19 |
• | | 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 Advisers. 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, 2011.

Each Fund offers Institutional Class Shares. Bond Fund and Global Bond Fund also offer Retail Class Shares. Effective May 28, 2010, Inflation Protected Securities Fund and Intermediate Duration Bond Fund began offering 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). 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 distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to year-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
a. Valuation. 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 shares of 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.
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. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported 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, not to exceed the amount of positive principal adjustments on a cumulative basis. 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 may 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 an amount of cash or liquid securities as “initial margin”. As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of 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 or receive upfront payments.
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 Statements 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 Statements 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.
At September 30, 2010, there were no open credit default swaps.
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 of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of September 30, 2010 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 amortization accruals, reclassification of realized capital gain to ordinary income and 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 and futures contracts mark to market, defaulted bond interest, REIT basis adjustments, adjustments to inflation-protected securities and contingent payment debt instruments. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

i. 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. 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. 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. The Funds may purchase securities, including those designated as TBAs in the Portfolio of Investments, for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of the security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The security and the obligation to pay for it are recorded by the Funds at the time the commitment is entered into. The actual security that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations during the time before the Funds take delivery of the security. No interest accrues to the Funds until the transaction settles. When the Funds enter into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is required to be segregated with the custodian and/or broker in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Funds’ commitment.
Purchases of delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds’ net asset value as if the Funds had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. Risks may arise upon entering into such transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the transactions. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.
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 may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the year ended September 30, 2010, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
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 and cleared 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities represent cash and/or securities received or pledged as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts and/or credit default swaps. In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash and/or securities received or pledged as collateral is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | | Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
• | | Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

4. Derivatives. 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 that may invest in foreign investments 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. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Funds’ holdings of foreign securities. Certain Funds may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the funds. During the year ended September 30, 2010, Global Bond Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies and Inflation Protected Securities Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes.
The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Funds’ investments in fixed income securities. A Fund will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that it invests 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 their duration in order to control interest rate risk without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. During the year ended September 30, 2010, Global Bond Fund and Intermediate Duration Bond Fund used futures contracts in accordance with this objective.
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. During the year ended September 30, 2010, Global Bond Fund engaged in credit default swap transactions as a protection buyer for hedging purposes. As of September 30, 2010, there were no open swaps.
Each Fund is party to agreements with counterparties that govern transactions in forward foreign currency contracts and swap transactions. These agreements contain contingent features that allow the counterparties to terminate open contracts early if the net asset value of a Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. If such contingent features were to be triggered, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of open contracts at current fair value.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Loomis Sayles Funds I and Shareholders of 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 Bond Fund and Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income 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 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 Bond Fund (formerly 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, 2010, 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, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Institutional Class | | LSIOX |
Objective:
High current income.
Capital Appreciation is the Fund’s secondary objective.
Strategy:
Invests substantially all of its assets, and may invest up to 100% of its assets, in high income securities. High income securities are fixed-income securities that Loomis Sayles believes have the potential to generate relatively high levels of current income.
Fund Inception Date:
April 12, 2004
Net Assets:
$65.6 million
Market Conditions
A high-yield rally that emerged in early 2009 kept its momentum until May 2010, when concerns about European sovereign debt caused yields on lower-quality credits to drift higher and prices lower. Consumer confidence waned during the second quarter, as investors questioned the sustainability of the U.S. recovery. Uncertainty weighed on the high-yield market and caused investors to flee to the quality and perceived safety of U.S. Treasury securities. This caused a substantial flattening of the yield curve. Given the low interest-rate environment, many investors reached out to the long end of the curve in search of higher yields. Risk appetite returned during the third quarter, as the prospects of European Union intervention, coupled with slightly improving U.S. economic data, helped to diminish fears.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Loomis Sayles High Income Opportunities Fund returned 18.88%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, which returned 18.44% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
As the yield curve flattened during the period, the fund’s longer-than-benchmark duration strategy provided the largest contribution to performance. In addition, the fund’s positioning within below investment-grade industrials contributed to its strong performance, primarily due to low default rates combined with improving credit trends. Furthermore, an out-of-benchmark allocation to investment-grade credit bolstered fund performance, driven by strong security selection within the financials sector.
While the fund’s high-yield financials generated positive absolute performance for the period, an underweight position compared with the benchmark provided the largest drag on relative performance. In addition, weak security selection and an underweight position in lower-rated high-yield securities — those with Caa and Ca credit ratings — weighed on the fund’s relative performance. Security selection within the high-yield utilities sector also detracted from the fund’s relative results.
Outlook
We see a prolonged period of slow economic growth and low interest rates in the United States, Europe and Japan as the most influential and likely scenario for the remainder of 2010. Increased investor demand for yield should continue to benefit sectors of the market that offer substantial premiums over government bonds. The anticipation and investment positioning surrounding a second round of U.S. quantitative easing should continue to have wide-ranging ramifications for the markets.
Overall, our portfolio themes remain largely intact. Our assessment of the credit markets is consistent with previous quarters in 2010; selected relative value opportunities are still available in the current environment. Having the research expertise to identify the right securities for a portfolio is of utmost importance. We believe the fund remains positioned to take advantage of the slowly improving global economy. We continue to see what we believe to be incremental fundamental improvement in the corporate space. Our global approach allows us to look beyond the domestic markets for security-specific opportunities as well. As relative value diminishes in certain names, we will continue to reduce position sizes selectively.
We expect market volatility to be a constant presence going forward. We plan to take advantage of this volatility by opportunistically adding securities across many of the markets available to us. We believe that a combination of improving corporate fundamentals, emerging market growth expectations that exceed those of the developed world and strong technical demand for yield have created an environment that could continue to benefit the fund in the future.

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 U.S. government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the U.S. government.
Because the fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities, the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, and by 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 U.S. 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.

LOOMIS SAYLES SECURITIZED ASSET FUND
Fund and manager review
FUND FACTS
Managers:
Clifton Rowe, CFA
Alessandro Pagani, CFA
Symbol:
| | |
Institutional Class | | LSSAX |
Objective:
High level of current income consistent with capital preservation.
Strategy:
Invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of securitized assets, such as mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities.
Fund Inception Date:
March 2, 2006
Net Assets:
$653.3 million
Market Conditions
Interest rates declined during the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2010, due to a weaker-than-expected economic rebound and the Federal Reserve Board’s (the Fed’s) commitment to a low interest-rate policy. While growth was tepid, the probability of severely negative economic scenarios diminished. As a result, yield spreads on non-government-related bonds declined significantly, generating strong price appreciation. Additionally, ongoing challenges in the mortgage markets meant many borrowers with high interest rates were unable to refinance. This led to slower-than-expected prepayments on premium mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued by government-sponsored entities (GSEs), which contributed to strong performance.
Performance Results
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, Loomis Sayles Securitized Asset Fund returned 15.24%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Securitized Bond Index, which returned 7.06% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund’s strong performance relative to the benchmark was driven primarily by holdings in sectors that offer a yield advantage relative to Treasuries. These included commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS) and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). These sectors generally performed well during the period, except in the second quarter of 2010, when concerns about European sovereign debt caused yield spreads to widen. Nevertheless, as investors shifted their focus toward yield opportunities in the U.S. fixed-income markets, they favored these sectors, which offered a compelling combination of good credit quality and attractive yields. Furthermore, strong investor demand helped generate price appreciation within these sectors.
Investor risk appetites remained strong throughout most of the period, causing a shift out of high-quality securities and into higher-yielding sectors. This sentiment led to underperformance for the fund’s MBS issued by GSEs. Furthermore, in the period’s declining-rate environment, longer-maturity securities outperformed shorter-maturity securities. The fund’s overweight in shorter-maturity holdings had a negative impact on performance.
In terms of derivatives exposure, we continued to use U.S. Treasury futures to remove undesired exposure to interest-rate fluctuations. We also routinely purchased and sold mortgage “TBAs” to manage the fund’s mortgage exposure. See Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements for a description of TBA securities.
Outlook
We expect the Fed to maintain its current interest-rate policy well into 2011, and we do not foresee any significant shift in the yield curve. Over time, interest rates should gradually rise, as modest economic growth persists. We will continue to look for opportunities to take advantage of the steep yield curve while focusing on income rather than price appreciation. We are maintaining an underweight position in MBS issued by GSEs. This sector continues to offer a modest yield advantage with strong credit quality, and we expect it to benefit from a relatively stable interest-rate environment. The fund remains overweight in the CMBS and ABS sectors. Although we expect fundamental weakness to persist in the mortgage and consumer loan markets, we believe the securities we hold are well protected from credit risk, via credit enhancements such as subordination and excess spread, and continue to offer compelling value and attractive yields.

What you should know
Investments in mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, which can limit the potential for gain during a declining interest rate environment and increase the potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. Fixed income investments entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall), the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk and inflation risk. The fund may invest in derivatives; this leverage can increase market exposure and magnify investment risks.

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, 2010 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, 2010 through September 30, 2010. 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 the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Adviser and 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 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 Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.
The Board of Trustees most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at their meeting held in June 2010. 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, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including recent or planned investments by the Adviser in additional personnel or other resources. They also considered the administrative services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds.
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 that 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 that analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that also measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.
With respect to the Funds, the Board concluded that the performance of the Funds or other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of each of the Agreements.

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 and the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation. 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 has borne 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, 2011.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
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. 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 subsequent to year-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
a. Valuation. 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 shares of 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. 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. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported 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.
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 the Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s 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. Certain contracts may 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.
At September 30, 2010, 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 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.
At September 30, 2010, there were no open futures contracts.
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 of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of September 30, 2010 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.
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
| 26
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
September 30, 2010
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, contingent payment debt instruments and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 Distributions Paid From: | | | 2009 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | $ | 5,690,124 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 5,690,124 | | | $ | 6,616,163 | | | $ | 85,792 | | | $ | 6,701,955 | |
Securitized Asset Fund | | | 25,176,915 | | | | — | | | | 25,176,915 | | | | 19,285,124 | | | | — | | | | 19,285,124 | |
Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.
As of September 30, 2010, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | High Income Opportunities Fund | | | Securitized Asset Fund | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 700,428 | | | $ | 2,721,800 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | — | | | | — | |

| | | | | | | | |
Total capital loss carryforward | | | (6,037,260 | ) | | | (1,367,506 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Deferred net capital losses (post-October 2009) | | | — | | | | (239,014 | ) |
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | | 537,820 | | | | 26,984,243 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total accumulated earnings (losses) | | $ | (4,799,012 | ) | | $ | 28,099,523 | |
| | | | | | | | |
h. 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. 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. 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. The Funds may purchase securities, including those designated as TBAs in the Portfolio of Investments, for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of the security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The security and the obligation to pay for it are recorded by the Funds at the time the commitment is entered into. The actual security that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations during the time before the Funds take delivery of the security. No interest accrues to the Funds until the transaction settles. When the Funds enter into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is required to be segregated with the custodian and/or broker in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Funds’ commitment.
Purchases of delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds’ net asset value as if the Funds had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. Risks may arise upon entering into such transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the transactions. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.
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
27 |

September 30, 2010
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 may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the year ended September 30, 2010, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
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. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | | Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); |
| • | | Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of September 30, 2010, at value:

Debt securities valued at $2,854,539 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the year ended September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2009, these securities were valued using broker-dealer bid quotations based on inputs unobservable to the Fund; at September 30, 2010, these securities were valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by a pricing service where inputs are observable to the Fund.
All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.
4. Derivatives. 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 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. During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Securitized Asset Fund used futures contracts in accordance with this objective.
Transactions in derivative instruments for Securitized Asset Fund during the year ended September 30, 2010 were as follows:
| | | | |
Statements of Operations Caption | | Interest Rate Contracts | |
Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: | | | | |
Futures contracts | | $ | (612,603 | ) |
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on: | | | | |
Futures contracts | | | 300,688 | |
As the Funds value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments.
Volume of derivative activity, as a percentage of net assets, for Securitized Asset Fund, based on month-end notional amounts outstanding during the period, at absolute value, was as follows for the year ended September 30, 2010:

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, 2010, 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, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Audit Committee Pre Approval Policies.
Annually, the Registrant’s Audit Committee reviews the audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services together with the projected fees, for services proposed to be rendered to the Trust and/or other entities for which pre-approval is required during the upcoming year. Any subsequent revisions to already pre-approved services or fees (including fee increases) and requests for pre-approval of new services would be presented for consideration quarterly as needed.
If, in the opinion of management, a proposed engagement by the Registrant’s independent accountants needs to commence before the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, any member of the Audit Committee who is an independent Board member is authorized to pre-approve the engagement, but only for engagements to provide audit, audit related and tax services. This approval is subject to review of the full Audit Committee at its next quarterly meeting. All other engagements require the approval of all the members of the Audit Committee.
