Institutional Class | | LSFIX |
Objective:
High total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation
Strategy:
The Fund will invest primarily in fixed-income securities and may invest up to 35% of its assets in below investment-grade fixed-income securities and up to 20% of its assets in equity securities such as common stocks and preferred stocks (with up to 10% of its assets in common stocks).
Fund Inception Date:
January 17, 1995
Fund Registration Date:
March 7, 1997
Net Assets:
$1.0 Billion
Market Conditions
Market anxiety from the sovereign debt crisis in Europe eased markedly during the six-month period, as the European Central Bank took action to aid Greece and restore liquidity. In addition, the release of positive domestic macroeconomic data over successive months and a significant increase in liquidity encouraged greater risk-taking in the markets. Better-than-expected stress test results from U.S. banks bolstered general investor optimism and lifted many corporate financial names.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Fixed Income Fund returned 9.86%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 1.26% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
A particularly strong showing by non-U.S.-dollar-denominated holdings in the second half of the period, coupled with robust security selection, resulted in a strong contribution to return. Winners within the allocation included investments denominated in the New Zealand dollar, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Canadian dollar. A rally in commodity prices and a corresponding increase in demand for these currencies buoyed these securities. The fund’s allocation to convertible securities also bolstered returns, as the sector tracked equities, which surged forward throughout much of the six-month period. In addition, high-yield securities benefited from the increase in investor risk appetite, allowing for favorable performance from the sector. In particular, high-yield industrial names outpaced high-yield financials and utilities. High-yield industrials rebounded largely because subsectors that had previously lagged, such as homebuilders and retail, improved.
Certain holdings in the traditionally defensive industries, such as natural gas, struggled due to investors favoring higher-beta (higher-risk/higher-reward potential) names. In addition, a relative underweight position in government-related securities detracted from performance, as this sector generated solid results.
Outlook
As the second quarter begins, fixed-income investors continue to face an environment filled with opportunities and pitfalls. The sovereign debt situation in Europe is a chief ongoing concern, and the market is now focusing on Spain. Investors are taking solace in the improving U.S. economic situation, but Europe’s debt problems cast a large shadow over any sustainable recovery. So far this year, investors have generally sought out higher-risk securities for yield, but the progress (or lack thereof) in the Euro Zone could greatly influence their risk tolerance. In some respects, this is very similar to 2011, when cash rushed into credit, equity and other risky markets early in the year, only to reverse when political gyrations increased uncertainty. However, a resulting period of volatility can create buying opportunities for us. We continue to add credits that we believe have long-term potential for improving fundamentals.
In the first quarter of 2012, higher U.S. interest rates reinvigorated discussions surrounding the potential threat higher rates pose to fixed-income portfolios. We continue to believe that interest rates are in a period of transition and see rising rates as the next secular trend. However, given the Federal Reserve Board’s commitment to keep short-term rates low at least through the middle of 2014, the trading range in U.S. Treasuries should persist in the near term.
U.S. economic growth has been a bright spot thus far in 2012. We believe the overall health of corporate America remains intact, largely because corporate managements remain conservative. Reductions in the ranks of the unemployed, signs of potential recovery in the housing market and increased lending from financial institutions have highlighted the underlying fundamental health of the domestic economy. We anticipate a modest recovery in the United States and little to no growth in Europe and Japan. However, many areas removed from the developed world show moderate to strong growth potential.
Above all else, our conviction in the merits of fundamental credit research has not changed. We remain steadfast in our opportunistic approach as well as our long-term outlook. Our focus continues to be on maintaining yield advantage, surveying the global marketplace for opportunities, and searching out specific risk that can lead to total return opportunities for the fund.

Market Conditions
U.S. economic data appeared to strengthen and the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) long-term refinancing operations created ample liquidity, causing market sentiment to become more optimistic. A heightened preference for risk led most markets higher during the six-month period. As a result, the quest for yield caused spreads (the yield difference between non-Treasury securities and comparable-maturity Treasuries) to tighten.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund returned 4.95%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.11% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
An overweight allocation to corporate bonds combined with security selection within this sector helped drive the fund’s outperformance relative to the benchmark. Our preference for lower-quality U.S. corporates over euro-area corporates and our selections in the banking, basic industry, communications and consumer non-cyclicals segments were particularly favorable. From a currency perspective, underweight positions in the yen and euro and corresponding overweight positions in emerging market and peripheral currencies contributed positively to performance. Specifically, the fund’s holdings in the Colombian peso, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar, Norwegian krone, Singaporean dollar and South Korean won were additive to performance. In addition, the fund’s shorter-than-benchmark duration (price sensitivity to interest rate changes) for U.S.-dollar-pay corporates and Treasuries contributed to the fund’s outperformance.
The fund’s underweight in European local markets hampered returns, as the downside fears surrounding the euro calmed during the latter half of the period. The recent massive liquidity provision from the ECB decreased fears of a banking system breakdown and, as a result, sentiment rose along with liquidity.
For hedging purposes and to gain exposure to specific currencies, we traded foreign exchange forward contracts during the period. The foreign currency contracts are part of our fixed-income currency strategy. We also used interest rate futures contracts to help manage duration positioning in U.S. dollars. During the period, the use of these contracts had no material impact on performance.
Outlook
We anticipate additional volatility in the coming months, which we plan to use to assess opportunities. Currently, growth challenges from a deteriorating outlook in Spain, higher oil prices and fears of slower growth in China seem to be offsetting the positive effects of the ECB’s bank liquidity program. In response, we have sought to reduce the fund’s risk exposure without reducing its yield, mostly by selling higher-risk credits selectively and replacing them with high-quality credits, such as U.S. Treasuries, and by reducing certain out-of-benchmark currency positions and maintaining the fund’s position in corporates.
Globally, investor sentiments remain challenged by uncertain electoral and policy outcomes from the French elections, Spanish fiscal agony and doubts about the Bank of Japan truly embracing a positive inflation target and quantitative easing. Domestically, we expect the U.S. recovery to be sustained, with gross domestic product growth in the range of 2% or slightly higher in 2012. Economic data have been improving in recent months, and we believe there are more reasons to be positive than negative on the outlook. As the year progresses, we believe attention will shift from concerns in Europe to the U.S. political landscape and its fiscal ramifications. Ultimately, we expect a recovery in global growth, but currently too many near-term policy risks loom for us to aggressively add growth-correlated positions.

Market Conditions
The volatility that was present for much of the fourth quarter of 2011 dissipated in the first quarter of 2012. Riskier assets rallied on improving economic conditions and Treasury yields increased significantly. Economic data released in the United States showed signs of a strengthening labor market, while globally, fears surrounding Europe subsided after the European Central Bank’s long-term refinancing operations extended funding to banks and creditors accepted a deal to restructure Greek debt. Meanwhile, the Consumer Price Index rose during the six-month period, because energy prices climbed higher. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) outperformed nominal (non-inflation-protection) Treasuries, and real yields fell during the period.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund returned 3.29%. The fund slightly underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index, which returned 3.57% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund’s out-of-benchmark exposure to high-yield and investment-grade corporate bonds (industrials in particular) contributed positively to performance for the six-month period. Improving liquidity and credit in the corporate bond market caused spreads (the yield difference between non-Treasury securities and comparable-maturity Treasuries) to tighten, which led to capital appreciation for bondholders. As investor optimism increased during the first quarter of 2012, investors moved out of the perceived safe-haven U.S. Treasury market in search of opportunities outside of the United States. This exodus resulted in depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to other major currencies, and out-of-benchmark holdings denominated in the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso benefited as the dollar weakened.
The fund’s yield curve positioning (a curve that shows the relationship among bond yields across the maturity spectrum) detracted from relative performance. Overall, the fund’s average duration (price sensitivity to interest rate changes) was slightly longer than that of the benchmark. This led to relative underperformance for the fund, as Treasury yields rose during the period. While TIPS achieved strong absolute returns for the fund during the six-month period, weaker security selection relative to the benchmark also weighed on the fund’s relative return. A small allocation to non-inflation-protected Treasuries achieved positive performance but had a negative impact relative to the benchmark.
Over the past six months, the income component of the Fund has been lower relative to past years due to the very low interest rate environment. This environment is the result of low current inflation pressures, low inflation expectations, a flight to quality given the events in Europe and, more recently, Operation Twist implemented by the Federal Reserve. Current nominal and real yields are historically low; in fact, TIPS with maturities as far out as January 2026 have negative real yields. We have tried to mitigate this low yield and income environment with the use of corporate bonds in the Fund. However, even corporate debt is trading at very low yield levels.
Outlook
U.S. economic data continued to improve into the first quarter of 2012, but the uncertainty surrounding Europe still poses a problem domestically and abroad. The fund has continued to benefit from the market’s preference for quality during uncertain times. While we remain optimistic about a long-term U.S. economic recovery, the fund’s quality bias could continue to be a positive factor should volatility persist in the short term. Low rates have stifled near-term inflation concerns, but longer term, as growth eventually takes hold, we believe the Federal Reserve Board will shift toward a more hawkish stance on inflation. Expectations for higher longer-term inflation may emerge over time, causing TIPS breakeven rates (the difference between yields on nominal Treasuries and TIPS of the same maturity) to widen.

LOOMIS SAYLES INSTITUTIONAL HIGH INCOME FUND
Fund and manager review
FUND FACTS
Managers:
Matthew Eagan, CFA
Daniel Fuss, CFA, CIC
Kathleen Gaffney, CFA
Elaine Stokes
Symbol:
| | |
Institutional Class | | LSHIX |
Objective:
High total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation
Strategy:
Invests primarily in below investment grade 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:
$599.0 million
Market Conditions
The momentum of the high-yield and equity market rallies from December 2011 continued into 2012. High-yield bonds generated strong returns in January before easing slightly in February and becoming flat in March. Actions by the European Central Bank calmed contagion fears, at least for the time being. In the United States, annualized fourth quarter gross domestic product growth of 3% pointed to a moderate but continued recovery and also helped subdue investor fears.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Loomis Sayles Institutional High Income Fund returned 12.55%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, which returned 12.14% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Out-of-benchmark allocations to convertible securities and common stock contributed significantly to the fund’s outperformance relative to the benchmark. In addition, an underweight position in below-investment-grade utilities had a positive effect on relative performance. An allocation to high-yield electric utilities posted the strongest gains. Investment-grade and high-yield consumer cyclical companies were also strong contributors. Similarly, investment-grade and high-yield financials made a positive contribution to performance, with brokerage and banking companies buoying the sector. Furthermore, a small, out-of-benchmark position in preferred securities contributed favorably to the fund’s return, as these equity-sensitive securities largely mirrored the upswing in the stock market.
In terms of lagging performers, consumer non-cyclical companies struggled, particularly within the healthcare and grocery store segments. In addition, an out-of-benchmark exposure to Treasuries detracted from the fund’s relative return.
OUTLOOK
As the second quarter begins, fixed-income investors continue to face an environment filled with opportunities and pitfalls. The sovereign debt situation in Europe is a chief ongoing concern, and the market is now focusing on Spain.

Market Conditions
The markets generally moved higher during the six-month period, despite a selloff in November that was triggered by growing investor fears about euro zone debt, ballooning U.S. debt and Italian and Spanish bond yields finally breaking through their debt yield threshold of 7%. In December, indications that the U.S. economy might be performing better than anticipated sparked a market rally that helped erase losses experienced in November. The new year began more optimistically, due to growing sentiment that the U.S. economy seemed to be improving, particularly after February’s unemployment numbers dropped to levels not seen since 2008. The Federal Reserve Board also shared the opinion that the U.S. economy was becoming stronger. European policymakers reached a deal in early 2012 to help reduce Greece’s sovereign debt and also provided the bank system with much needed liquidity through its long-term refinancing operations. These factors combined to quell investor fears, and investor appetites for risk increased, as indicated by a shift away from the relative safety of Treasuries into riskier assets.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Bond Fund returned 2.14%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 1.46% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The fund’s outperformance relative to the benchmark primarily was due to favorable sector allocation and security selection. In particular, an out-of-benchmark allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) generated the greatest excess returns of any individual sector, as spreads (the yield difference between non-Treasury securities and comparable-maturity Treasuries) narrowed sharply during the period. Lower-quality investment-grade holdings generated much of the performance in the CMBS sector. Earlier in 2012, we slightly pared back the fund’s CMBS allocation to lock in gains. In addition, an overweight in corporate bonds had a positive effect during the period, with the greatest contributions coming from the industrials sector. The financial industry, led by holdings in banking companies, posted the greatest overall returns within the corporate sector. Higher-beta (higher-risk/higher-reward potential) corporate securities generally outperformed lower-beta corporates, with the bulk of the returns generated from lower-quality securities since corporate spreads narrowed during the period. We also maintained a significant underweight in U.S. Treasuries, which proved beneficial. These securities were largely negative, given investor preference for riskier assets. Additionally, a small position in U.S. agencies was beneficial, as the segment outperformed the benchmark and contributed favorably to returns.
The fund’s yield curve positioning (a curve that shows the relationship among bond yields across the maturity spectrum) detracted modestly, as yields increased during the period. Also, an out-of-benchmark allocation to asset-backed securities weighed somewhat on fund performance. Finally, a small, out-of-benchmark position in 15-year mortgage-backed securities (MBS) underperformed on a relative basis.
Outlook
Recent economic data have been relatively encouraging for the U.S. growth outlook, but concerns remain about the sustainability of the recovery. We believe the sovereign debt crisis in Europe could hinder economic recovery in the U.S. While there appears to be some stability in Europe, at least in the near term, we cannot discount a possible resurgence of volatility and uncertainty from the ongoing sovereign debt issues in the region. Our current strategy remains relatively cautious toward Europe, and we have no plans to make significant additions to risk in the near term. The fund’s average duration remained mostly unchanged throughout the period, and we currently expect to keep it relatively neutral to the benchmark.

Symbols:
| | |
Institutional Class | | LSIGX |
Objective:
Above-average total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation
Strategy:
Invests primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in below investment-grade fixed-income securities and up to 10% of its assets in equity securities (including preferred stocks and common stocks).
Fund Inception Date:
July 1, 1994
Fund Registration Date:
March 7, 1997
Net Assets:
$582.6 million
Market Conditions
The ongoing European sovereign debt crisis consistently moved markets higher or lower depending on headline news, causing investor preferences for risk to be intermittent. The European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) decision to cut rates and provide liquidity through its long-term refinancing operations (LTRO) helped ease market fears. During the second half of the period, investor appetite for risk returned and pushed credit-sensitive markets higher and narrowed yield spreads (the yield difference between non-Treasury securities and comparable-maturity Treasuries). In the United States, strong corporate and bank balance sheets helped markets slowly recover. For the time being, positive U.S. labor and economic data have mitigated the need for another round of quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve Board. These data indicate that economic recovery is underway, albeit at a slower pace than initially expected.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund returned 6.56%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 1.26% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Significant exposure to non-U.S.-dollar-denominated holdings boosted the fund’s performance during the period. A preference for risk remained a dominant theme among investors, and commodity-linked currency holdings tended to outperform. In particular, holdings denominated in the Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar, Australian dollar and Indonesian rupiah were among the top performers. Certain euro-denominated issues added to performance during the second half of the period, receiving a boost from the ECB’s LTRO. An overweight in investment-grade corporate credits contributed to the fund’s outperformance during the period, as specific holdings in the banking, communication, transportation, basic industry and electric utilities sectors drove performance higher. An underweight position in U.S. Treasuries contributed to performance, as a preference for risk led investors away from the perceived safe-haven sector. Furthermore, out-of-benchmark allocations to industrial high-yield corporate bonds aided returns. Certain issues within financials, consumer cyclical, transportation and capital goods sectors contributed positively. An allocation to equity-sensitive convertible holdings also aided the fund’s outperformance, as these securities mirrored the rally in equity markets. Certain names within the technology and insurance sectors were strong performers.
A small allocation to high-yield utility corporate bonds weighed on fund performance. In particular, names from the electric utility and natural gas sectors generally underperformed. An underweight allocation to government-related securities detracted from relative performance.
OUTLOOK
As the second quarter begins, fixed-income investors continue to face an environment filled with opportunities and pitfalls. The sovereign debt situation in Europe is a chief ongoing concern, and the market is now focusing on Spain. Investors are taking solace in the improving U.S. economic situation, but Europe’s debt problems cast a large shadow over any sustainable recovery. So far this year, investors have generally sought out higher-risk securities for yield, but the progress (or lack thereof) in the Euro Zone could greatly influence their risk tolerance. In some respects, this is very similar to 2011, when cash rushed into credit, equity and other risky markets early in the year, only to reverse when political gyrations increased uncertainty. However, a resulting period of volatility can create buying opportunities for us. We continue to add credits that we believe have long-term potential for improving fundamentals.
In the first quarter of 2012, higher U.S. interest rates reinvigorated discussions surrounding the potential threat higher rates pose to fixed-income portfolios. We continue to believe that interest rates are in a period of transition and see rising rates as the next secular trend. However, given the Federal Reserve Board’s continued commitment to keep short-term rates low at least through the middle of 2014, the trading range in U.S. Treasuries should persist in the near term.
U.S. economic growth has been a bright spot thus far in 2012. We believe the overall health of corporate America remains intact, largely because corporate managements remain conservative. Reductions in the ranks of the unemployed, signs of potential recovery in the housing market and increased lending from financial institutions have highlighted the underlying fundamental health of the domestic economy. We anticipate a modest recovery in the United States and little to no growth in Europe and Japan. However, many areas removed from the developed world show moderate to strong growth potential.
Above all else, our conviction in the merits of fundamental credit research has not changed. We remain steadfast in our opportunistic approach as well as our long-term outlook. Our focus continues to be on maintaining yield advantage, surveying the global marketplace for opportunities, and searching out specific risk that can lead to total return opportunities for the fund.

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 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 October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. 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.
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.

Effective January 1, 2012, the name of the Funds’ administrator changed from Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. to NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) and the name of the Funds’ distributor changed from Natixis Distributors, L.P. to NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“NGAM Distribution”).
Each Fund offers Institutional Class shares. Global Bond Fund, Inflation Protected Securities Fund and Intermediate Duration Bond Fund also offer Retail 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 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 period-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) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent 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. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. 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 independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent 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 and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. 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 swap agreements are valued based on mid prices supplied by a pricing service, if available, or quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. 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.
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 the 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 values 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. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts, to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to 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 a 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 and/or securities 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 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 short-term high-quality 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 cash or securities on deposit with the broker. 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
| 78
Notes To Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
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 supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced.
f. Swap Agreements. The Funds 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. 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 fees paid by the protection buyer. 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. The Funds may also pay or receive upfront premiums. If a credit event occurs, the protection seller must pay the protection buyer the difference between the agreed upon notional value and market value of the reference obligation. Market value in this case is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the value. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that a Fund as the protection seller could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
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 premiums paid or received by the Funds are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability, respectively, and 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. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding credit default swaps by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or cash.
There were no credit default swaps held by the Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2012.
g. Due to Brokers. Transactions and positions in certain forward foreign currency contracts are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between a Fund and the various broker/dealers. Due to brokers’ balances in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Global Bond Fund represent cash and securities received as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts. In certain circumstances a Fund’s use of cash and/or securities held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.
h. 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 March 31, 2012 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 six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding 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.
i. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as distribution redesignations, foreign currency transactions, defaulted bond adjustments, paydown gains and losses, premium amortization, preferred securities adjustment, 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
79 |
Notes To Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
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, forward foreign currency 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.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2011 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2011 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
Fixed Income Fund | | $ | 48,778,586 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 48,778,586 | |
Global Bond Fund | | | 96,991,654 | | | | — | | | | 96,991,654 | |
Inflation Protected Securities Fund | | | 914,044 | | | | — | | | | 914,044 | |
Institutional High Income Fund | | | 43,588,875 | | | | 906,193 | | | | 44,495,068 | |
Intermediate Duration Bond Fund | | | 1,936,498 | | | | — | | | | 1,936,498 | |
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund | | | 33,639,027 | | | | 12,045,911 | | | | 45,684,938 | |
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, 2011, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital loss carryforward: | | Fixed Income Fund | | | Global Bond Fund | | | Inflation Protected Securities Fund | | | Institutional High Income Fund | | | Intermediate Duration Bond Fund | | | Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely. Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. Additionally, capital losses realized in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act are carried over in the character (short-term or long-term) realized. Rules in effect previously treated all capital loss carryforwards as short-term.
j. 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.
k. 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. When the Funds enter into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is required to be segregated or earmarked at the custodian in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Funds’ commitment. No interest accrues to the Funds until the transaction settles.
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 the 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.

There were no delayed delivery securities held by the Funds as of March 31, 2012.
l. 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 six months ended March 31, 2012, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
m. 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 March 31, 2012, at value:

A debt security valued at $254,638 was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the period ended March 31, 2012. At September 30, 2011, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service; at March 31, 2012, this security was valued using broker-dealer bid quotations based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service either was unable to price the security or did not provide a reliable price for the security.
A preferred stock valued at $96,600 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended March 31, 2012. At September 30, 2011, this security was valued using broker-dealer bid quotations based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service either was unable to price the security or did not provide a reliable price for the security; at March 31, 2012, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service.
All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.
In May 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The ASU requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers; and ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Notwithstanding the projected regulatory implementation date of June 30, 2012 for the Fund, Management has already implemented disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the Level 3 disclosures may have on the Fund’s financial statements.
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 Global Bond Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts and futures contracts.
The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange 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 six months ended March 31, 2012, Global Bond Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.
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 hedge against changes in interest rates and to manage their duration without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, Global Bond Fund used futures contracts to manage duration.
Each Fund is party to agreements with counterparties that govern transactions in forward foreign currency contracts. These agreements contain credit-risk-related 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 features were to be triggered, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of open

contracts at current fair value. As of March 31, 2012, the fair value of derivative positions (including open trades) subject to credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position by counterparty, and the value of collateral pledged to counterparties for such contracts is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Counterparty | | Derivatives | | | Collateral Pledged | |
Global Bond Fund | | Barclays | | $ | (530,266 | ) | | $ | 483,770 | |
| | Deutsche Bank AG | | | (367,092 | ) | | | 572,093 | |
| | JPMorgan Chase | | | (22,112 | ) | | | 192,705 | |
| | Morgan Stanley | | | (33,997 | ) | | | — | |
Forward foreign currency contracts are subject to the risk that the counterparty will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations under the contracts. The Funds have mitigated this risk by entering into master netting agreements with counterparties that allow the Fund and the counterparty to offset amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. As of March 31, 2012, the maximum amount of loss that Global Bond Fund would incur if counterparties failed to meet their obligations is $2,564,421 and the amount of loss that Global Bond Fund would incur after taking into account master netting arrangements is $806,579. These amounts do not take into account the value of collateral received by the Global Bond Fund in the amount of $692,124.
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.

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. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.

Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
Prior to January 1, 2012, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $80,000. All other Trustee fees remain unchanged.

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.

Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

12. Redemption In-Kind. In certain circumstances, a Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for redemption of Fund shares (redemption in-kind). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund will recognize a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities; the Fund will recognize a loss if the cost exceeds value. Gains and losses realized on redemptions in-kind are not recognized for tax purposes, and are re-classified from realized gain (loss) to paid-in-capital. Global Bond Fund realized a gain of $10,034,128 on redemptions in-kind during the six months ended March 31, 2012. This amount is included in realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.

LOOMIS SAYLES HIGH INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Fund and manager review
FUND FACTS
Managers:
Matthew Eagan, CFA
Daniel Fuss, CFA, CIC
Kathleen Gaffney, CFA
Elaine Stokes
Symbol:
| | |
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:
$70.3 million
Market Conditions
The momentum of the high-yield and equity market rallies from December 2011 continued into 2012. High-yield bonds generated strong returns in January before easing slightly in February and becoming flat in March. Actions by the European Central Bank calmed debt crisis contagion fears, at least for the time being. In the United States, annualized fourth quarter gross domestic product growth of 3% pointed to a moderate but continued recovery and also helped to subdue many investor fears.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Loomis Sayles High Income Opportunities Fund returned 12.91%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, which returned 12.14% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
An out-of-benchmark allocation to convertible securities contributed significantly to the fund’s performance, as the sector tracked equities, which surged throughout much of the period. An underweight position in below-investment-grade utilities had a positive effect on performance relative to the benchmark and security selection within high-yield electric utilities also contributed notably for the period. The consumer cyclical sector, across the quality spectrum, was a strong contributor to performance. Similarly, investment-grade and high-yield financials made a positive contribution to relative performance, with brokerage and banking securities buoying the sector. Furthermore, a small out-of-benchmark position in preferred securities contributed to the fund’s gains.
High-yield and investment-grade industrials contributed positively to the fund’s performance but trailed the benchmark in relative terms. In particular, security-specific refining companies accounted for the lagging results. In addition, out-of-benchmark exposure to common stocks detracted from the fund’s return.
Outlook
As the second quarter begins, fixed-income investors continue to face an environment filled with opportunities and pitfalls. The sovereign debt situation in Europe is a chief ongoing concern, and the market is now focusing on Spain. Investors are taking solace in the improving U.S. economic situation, but Europe’s debt problems cast a large shadow over any sustainable recovery. So far this year, investors have generally sought out higher-risk securities for yield, but the progress (or lack thereof) in the euro zone could greatly influence their risk tolerance. In some respects, this is very similar to 2011, when cash rushed into credit, equity and other risky markets early in the year, only to reverse when political gyrations increased uncertainty. However, a resulting period of volatility can create buying opportunities for us. We continue to add credits that we believe have long-term potential for improving fundamentals.
In the first quarter of 2012, higher U.S. interest rates reinvigorated discussions surrounding the potential threat higher rates pose to fixed-income portfolios. We continue to believe that interest rates are in a period of transition and see rising rates as the next secular trend. However, given the Fed’s continued commitment to keep short-term rates low at least through the middle of 2014, the trading range in U.S. Treasuries should persist in the near term.
U.S. economic growth has been a bright spot thus far in 2012. We believe the overall health of corporate America remains intact, largely because corporate managements remain conservative. Reductions in the ranks of the unemployed, signs of potential recovery in the housing market and increased lending from financial institutions have highlighted the underlying fundamental health of the domestic economy. We anticipate a modest recovery in the United States and little to no growth in Europe and Japan. However, many areas removed from the developed world show moderate to strong growth potential.
Above all else, our conviction in the merits of fundamental credit research has not changed. We remain steadfast in our opportunistic approach as well as our long-term outlook. Our focus continues to be on maintaining yield advantage, surveying the global marketplace for opportunities, and searching out specific risk that can lead to total return opportunities for the fund.

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:
$685.4 million
Market Conditions
Investors were generally optimistic during the sixth-month period, but markets were somewhat volatile, as they responded to various financial events in Europe. During the first quarter of 2012, negative news came less frequently, and Greek sovereign debt investors accepted a restructuring deal, which helped sustain the market rally. Domestic economic data generally improved, especially within the labor market and corporate sector. Late in the period, news that growth in China and other emerging market countries was slowing caused investors to be more cautious, and the market rally slowed.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Loomis Sayles Securitized Asset Fund returned 4.53%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Securitized Bond Index, which returned 1.76% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
The commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) sector experienced strong returns during the period, and the fund’s large overweight in the sector combined with prudent security selection magnified those results versus the benchmark. Additionally, our security selection within the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sector was particularly strong. Within the allocation, spreads (the yield difference between non-Treasury securities and comparable-maturity Treasuries) tightened due to diminishing risk concerns as the period progressed.
The fund’s longer-than-benchmark duration (price sensitivity to interest rate changes) also contributed to outperformance, as the longer end of the yield curve (a curve that shows the relationship among bond yields across the maturity spectrum) tightened relative to the rather compressed shorter end.
While the asset-backed securities (ABS) sector posted a positive return, it simply could not keep up with other more-aggressive sectors. In addition, an overweight position in non-traditional MBS underperformed, because the allocation’s shorter-duration hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) underperformed longer-duration securities. In general, the fund’s securities lagged the higher-beta potential sectors.
The fund routinely buys and sells mortgage-backed securities in the To Be Announced (TBA) market. (TBA means that the mortgage-backed security that will be delivered to fulfill the trade is not designated at the time the trade is made; the security is “to be announced” prior to the established trade settlement date.) These securities are used to achieve the fund’s desired mortgage exposure. The fund also routinely uses Treasury futures to remove undesired interest rate exposure. Neither TBAs nor Treasury futures had a material impact on performance for the period.
Outlook
We expect the domestic economic environment to continue its gradual improvement, as American corporations continue to perform relatively well. We also expect volatility to play a role in the landscape, as concerns surrounding Europe, employment data, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the nation’s healthcare law and the presidential elections develop. In addition, China’s slowing economy could have a negative effect on U.S. growth.
The euro zone is likely to muddle along due to uncertainty about the fiscal situations of weaker member nations. Furthermore, Europe seems likely to fall into another recession. The reaction of the debt markets to impending new issues will continue to have an effect on global markets. Elsewhere, China and other emerging nations are struggling to rein in pockets of inflation and steer their economies toward a soft landing.

(“NGAM 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 NGAM Advisors. The institutional investment advisory clients of Loomis Sayles and NGAM Advisors pay Loomis Sayles or NGAM 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 NGAM 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 NGAM 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 shows the actual amount of Fund expenses ($0) you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. 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.

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.

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 is a diversified investment company.
Effective January 1, 2012, the name of the Funds’ administrator changed from Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. to NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) and the name of the Funds’ distributor changed from Natixis Distributors, L.P. to NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“NGAM Distribution”).
Each Fund offers Institutional Class shares. The Funds’ shares are offered exclusively to investors in “wrap fee” programs approved by NGAM Advisors and/or Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) and to institutional advisory clients of NGAM 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 period-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) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent 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. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. 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 independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent 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 and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. 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. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. 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.
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 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 values 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.
The 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. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts, to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Funds’ investment against currency fluctuation. 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 a 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 and/or securities as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.
There were no forward foreign currency contracts held by the Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2012.
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 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 short-term high quality 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 cash or securities on deposit with the broker. 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 supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced.
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 March 31, 2012 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 six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding 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 Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable.

g. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as premium amortization, defaulted bonds, return of capital dividend received 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, contingent payment debt instruments, futures contracts mark to market 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 characterization of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2011 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2011 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | $ | 5,126,665 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 5,126,665 | |
Securitized Asset Fund | | | 28,192,737 | | | | — | | | | 28,192,737 | |
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, 2011, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | High Income Opportunities Fund | | | Securitized Asset Fund | |
Capital loss carryforward: | | | | | | | | |
Short-term: | | | | | | | | |
Expires September 30, 2018 | | $ | (4,658,255 | ) | | $ | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely. Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. Additionally, capital losses realized in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act are carried over in the character (short-term or long-term) realized. Rules in effect previously treated all capital loss carryforwards as short-term.
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. When the Funds enter into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is required to be segregated or earmarked at the custodian in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Funds’ commitment. No interest accrues to the Funds until the transaction settles.
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 the 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
27 |

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 six months ended March 31, 2012, neither Fund 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 March 31, 2012, at value:

A preferred stock valued at $481,800 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended March 31, 2012. At September 30, 2011, this security was valued using broker-dealer bid quotations based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service was unable to price the security or did not provide a reliable price for the security; at March 31, 2012, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service.
All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

In May 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The ASU requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers; and ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Notwithstanding the projected regulatory implementation date of June 30, 2012 for the Fund, Management has already implemented disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the Level 3 disclosures may have on the Fund’s financial statements.
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 Securitized Asset Fund used during the period 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. 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 hedge against changes in interest rates and to manage their duration in order to control interest rate risk without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, Securitized Asset Fund used futures contracts to manage duration.
The following is a summary of derivative instruments for Securitized Asset Fund as of March 31, 2012:
| | | | |
Statements of Assets and Liabilities Caption | | Interest Rate Contracts | |
Assets | | | | |
Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts* | | $ | 533,871 | |
* | Represents cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts. Only the current day’s variation margin on futures contracts is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable or payable for variation margin, as applicable. |
Transactions in derivative instruments for Securitized Asset Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2012 were as follows:
| | | | |
Statements of Operations Caption | | Interest Rate Contracts | |
Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: | | | | |
Futures contracts | | $ | (587,804 | ) |
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on: | | | | |
Futures contracts | | | 727,811 | |
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. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.
The volume of futures activity, as a percentage of net assets, for Securitized Asset Fund, based on gross month-end notional amounts outstanding during the period, including long and short positions at absolute value, was as follows for the six months ended March 31, 2012:
| | | | |
Securitized Asset Fund | | Futures | |
Average Notional Amount Outstanding | | | 6.05% | |
Highest Notional Amount Outstanding | | | 9.72% | |
Lowest Notional Amount Outstanding | | | 4.53% | |

6. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
a. Management Fees. Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay, without reimbursement from the Funds or the Trust, the following expenses of the Funds: compensation to Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust; registration, filing and other fees in connection with requirements of regulatory authorities; the charges and expenses of any entity appointed by the Funds for custodial, paying agent, shareholder servicing and plan agent services; charges and expenses of the independent registered public accounting firm retained by the Funds; charges and expenses of any transfer agents and registrars appointed by the Funds; any cost of certificates representing shares of the Funds; legal fees and expenses in connection with the day-to-day affairs of the Funds, including registering and qualifying its shares with Federal and State regulatory authorities; expenses of meetings of shareholders and Trustees of the Trust; the costs of services, including services of counsel, required in connection with the preparation of the Funds’ registration statements and prospectuses, including amendments and revisions thereto, annual, semi-annual and other periodic reports of the Funds, and notices and proxy solicitation material furnished to shareholders of the Funds or regulatory authorities, and any costs of printing or mailing these items; and the Funds’ expenses of bookkeeping, accounting and financial reporting, including related clerical expenses.
Loomis Sayles serves as investment adviser to each Fund. Under the terms of each management agreement, Loomis Sayles does not charge the Funds an investment advisory fee, also known as a management fee, or any other fee for those services or for bearing those expenses. Although the Funds do not compensate Loomis Sayles directly for services under the advisory agreement, Loomis Sayles will typically receive an advisory fee from the sponsors of “wrap programs,” who in turn charge the programs’ participants.
Certain officers and employees of Loomis Sayles are also officers or Trustees of the Trust. Loomis Sayles’ general partner is indirectly owned by Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (“Natixis US”), which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.
b. Administrative Fees. NGAM Advisors provides certain administrative services for the Funds and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. NGAM Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay, without reimbursement from the Trust or Funds, fees to NGAM Advisors for services to the Funds.
c. Service and Distribution Fees. NGAM Distribution, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trust. Pursuant to this agreement, NGAM Distribution serves as principal underwriter of the Funds of the Trust. NGAM Distribution currently is not paid a fee for serving as distributor for the Funds. Loomis Sayles has agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution to the extent that NGAM Distribution incurs expenses in connection with any redemption of Fund shares.
d. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution, Natixis US or their affiliates. Effective January 1, 2012, the Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $265,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $95,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
Prior to January 1, 2012, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $80,000. All other Trustee fees remain unchanged.
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
31 |

March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
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.
7. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. Effective April 19, 2012, the commitment fee will be 0.10% per annum.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, neither of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.
8. Concentration of Ownership. From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of one or more shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds. As of March 31, 2012, High Income Opportunities Fund had shareholders that owned more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of shareholders owning more than 5% of total outstanding shares of the Fund, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Number of 5% Shareholders | | | Percentage of Ownership | |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | | 5 | | | | 44.58% | |
9. Capital Shares. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

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:
$587.2 million
Market Conditions
Ongoing concerns related to the sovereign debt crisis in Europe contributed to market volatility during the second half of 2011. The European Central Bank’s December 2011 decision to open a low-interest financing program for banks helped calm the markets. Improved investor sentiment sparked a rally among stocks. The U.S. economy continued to show signs of improvement, with increased strength in consumer spending and job growth. Against this backdrop, small-cap stock performance was particularly strong during the first quarter of 2012, and it represented the best first quarter performance since 2006.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund returned 26.63%. The fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 30.26% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Despite its positive absolute return, the fund underperformed relative to the benchmark primarily due to stock selection in the healthcare and producer durables sectors. The largest positive contributions came from stock selection in the technology and energy sectors.
Technology companies DealerTrack Holdings, Allot Communications and Sourcefire were among the fund’s top individual contributors for the six-month period. Shares of DealerTrack Holdings, a provider of on-demand software and data solutions for the U.S. automotive industry, rallied due to better-than-expected growth in the company’s transaction revenue. This was a function of easing financing to consumers on new and used automobile purchases — a trend we expect will continue. Allot Communications, a leader in network traffic technology, benefited as wireless carriers across the board continued to adopt its must-have technology to monitor data traffic. Recent outperformance was due to favorable fourth-quarter results and strong guidance

for 2012. Sourcefire, a security software specialist, has been rapidly gaining market share. Recent outperformance was due to strong fourth-quarter results and attractive 2012 revenue guidance. The company is also in the initial stages of a new product launch that should help secure market share growth into the future.
The largest individual detractors from fund performance for the last six months included ZELTIQ Aesthetics, DexCom and Diamond Foods. ZELTIQ Aesthetics, a developer of a non-invasive fat-elimination procedure called CoolSculpting, had a disappointing launch. While the product is FDA-approved, unit placements have been slow, and potential competition is on the horizon. This led to weak results, and we exited the position. DexCom, a medical device company focused on glucose monitoring devices for Type 2 diabetes patients, was forced to push out its product launch due to another in a string of requests from the FDA for more data. DexCom’s next-generation product will be a significant move toward integrating glucose sensor and insulin pump devices, which are the two critical components of an artificial pancreas. We sold this position due to our stop-loss discipline. Diamond Foods, a snack and nut company, delivered strong and improving results during the two years we owned its stock. The combination of strong earnings and positive forecasts for its Pringles acquisition pushed the stock higher, and we trimmed our position size into that strength. In the fourth quarter of 2011, an Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry into timing problems related to payments between Diamond’s walnut co-op and walnut growers triggered a sharp decline in its stock price. Our stop-loss strategy triggered a sale, and the stock declined further after we exited the position.
Outlook
While volatility was markedly lower during the first quarter of 2012, rising volatility in the second quarter could have a positive effect on valuations among higher-quality stocks. Given the quality bias in the fund, we believe higher volatility may be beneficial to performance. In addition, because the first-quarter rally in small-cap stocks was led primarily by low-quality holdings, we believe valuations on quality businesses appear more attractive.
What You Should Know
Investments in the fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the fund’s prospectus. The purchase of fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.

Market Conditions
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, back-to-back quarters of strong equity returns were a welcome respite from the market volatility that has persisted largely since the 2008 financial crisis. Following a particularly tumultuous summer, investor sentiment began to improve at the end of 2011, helped along by the European Central Bank’s decision to extend low-cost financing to European banks. Additionally, improving business conditions and moderate but steady employment gains in the United States helped boost consumer confidence, further supporting the rally within the markets. Returns from small-cap value and small-cap growth stocks were similar, with both indexes returning nearly 30% for the six-month period. Leading sectors in the Russell 2000 Value index included economically sensitive consumer discretionary, materials and processing and producer durables, while less economically sensitive utilities and consumer staples lagged.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund returned 31.53%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, which returned 29.41% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
Stock selection was a significant positive influence on fund performance, with favorable trends in technology and energy offsetting negative selection in financial services. Sector allocation also contributed, with the favorable impact of an underweight in utilities offsetting the impact of maintaining a small cash balance during a strong market rally.
The fund’s top-performing stocks for the period included WellCare Health Plans, Wright Express and W.R. Grace. WellCare, a managed care provider for government-sponsored healthcare programs, reported strong earnings on favorable utilization trends and solid
| 4
cost controls during the final two quarters of 2011. Wright Express, a provider of payment processing and information services for commercial and government vehicle fleets, rallied sharply on strong earnings, which exceeded consensus forecasts and the company’s prior guidance. W. R. Grace, a manufacturer of specialty chemicals and construction products, also surpassed its prior earnings expectations, which drove shares higher.
Leading detractors for the six-month period included PHH, DFC Global and RadioShack. PHH, an outsource provider of mortgages and vehicle fleet services, sold off sharply late in 2011 on a debt-rating downgrade by Standard & Poor’s. While the downgrade may result in a higher cost of funding in the intermediate term, we eliminated our position on concerns about ongoing strategic issues. DFC Global, a provider of consumer loans, including pawn and payday lending services, was among the fund’s top performers during the first nine months of 2011. Profit-taking weighed on the stock in late 2011 and early 2012, and regulatory issues in the United Kingdom, a key growth market for the company, emerged during the period. We concluded the selloff in the stock is based on a scenario far worse than what we believe is likely to occur. We initiated a small position in RadioShack, a retailer of consumer electronics goods and services, in late 2011, following the appointment of new management and the implementation of new initiatives to turn around the business. Early results from the turnaround strategy fell short of our expectations, and we quickly eliminated the position.
Outlook
Stock market valuation indicators suggest equities are attractively valued relative to history, and we believe that stocks remain attractively valued relative to interest rates. Furthermore, investors appear less distracted than they have been by macroeconomic issues and more focused on the performance of individual companies. Another favorable factor for equities is dividend growth: we believe dividends are positioned to grow faster than earnings this year.
In the near term, we are most concerned about factors that could cause a spike in oil prices. Looking out further, Congress and the president will be required to act on a long list of expiring tax measures and the debt ceiling, while the November elections introduce another level of uncertainty. However, the market’s current attractive valuation may already reflect some of these risks. Elsewhere, a slowdown in China and a potential recession in the euro zone remain as risks. At the same time, there are reasons to be optimistic. The U.S. banking system is in substantially better shape than it was in recent years, and the euro zone banks have taken important steps to address their challenges. Considering the key positive and negative factors, we believe equities should remain attractive longer-term investment alternatives.

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 October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. 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 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.

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 is a diversified investment company.
Effective January 1, 2012, the name of the Funds’ administrator changed from Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. to NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) and the name of the Funds’ distributor changed from Natixis Distributors, L.P. to NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“NGAM Distribution”).
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 period-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 independent pricing services recommended by the investment
29 |
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent 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) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent 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 an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. 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.
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 the 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
| 30
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
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 values 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 March 31, 2012 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 six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or
31 |
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
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 of items such as expired capital loss carryforwards, distribution in excess of current earnings, net operating losses and deferred Trustees’ fees. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2011 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2011 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 5,223,638 | | | | — | | | | 5,223,638 | |
As of September 30, 2011, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Capital loss carryforward: | | Small Cap Growth Fund | | | Small Cap Value Fund | |
Short-term: | | | | | | | | |
Expires September 30, 2017 | | $ | (14,995,800 | ) | | $ | — | |
Expires September 30, 2018 | | | (11,878,485 | ) | | | (55,289,597 | ) |
| | | | |
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | (26,874,285 | ) | | $ | (55,289,597 | ) |
| | | | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely. Rules
| 32
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. Additionally, capital losses realized in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act are carried over in the character (short-term or long-term) realized. Rules in effect previously treated all capital loss carryforwards as short-term.
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 six months ended March 31, 2012, neither Fund 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 March 31, 2012, at value:

For the six months ended March 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3.
In May, 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The ASU requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers; and ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Notwithstanding the projected regulatory implementation date of June 30, 2012 for the Fund, Management has already implemented disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the Level 3 disclosures may have on the Fund’s financial statements.

Under the Retail Class Plans, each Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Funds’ Retail Class shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Retail Class shares or for payments made by NGAM Distribution to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Retail Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.
Under the Admin Class Plan, Small Cap Value Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Admin Class shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by NGAM Distribution to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Admin Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
In addition, the Admin Class shares of Small Cap Value Fund may pay NGAM Distribution an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares. These fees are subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal services and/or account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Funds paid the following service and distribution fees:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Funds held by the intermediaries (which generally is a percentage of the value of shares held) not to exceed what the Funds would have paid their transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of being held through the intermediaries.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Funds paid the following sub-transfer agent fees, which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $95,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
Prior to January 1, 2012, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $80,000. All other Trustee fees remain unchanged.
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.

Market Conditions
Market anxiety from the sovereign debt crisis in Europe eased markedly during the six-month period, as the European Central Bank took action to aid Greece and restore liquidity. In addition, the release of positive domestic macroeconomic data and a prominent increase in liquidity encouraged greater risk-taking in the markets. Furthermore, better-than-expected stress test results from U.S. banks bolstered general investor optimism and lifted many corporate financial names.
Performance Results
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Bond Fund returned 9.27%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 1.26% for the period.
Explanation of Fund Performance
A particularly strong showing by non-U.S.-dollar-denominated holdings in the second half of the period, coupled with robust security selection, resulted in a strong contribution to return. Winners within the non-U.S.-dollar allocation included investments denominated in the New Zealand dollar, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Canadian dollar. A rally in commodity prices and a corresponding increase in demand for these currencies buoyed these securities. In addition, the fund’s allocation to convertible securities bolstered returns, as the sector tracked equities, which surged forward throughout much of the six-month period. The high-yield sector benefited from an increase in investor risk appetite, and the allocation helped performance. High-yield industrial names outpaced high-yield financials and utilities. High-yield industrials rebounded largely because subsectors that had previously lagged, such as homebuilders, telecommunications and retail, improved.
Selected holdings in traditionally defensive industries, such as natural gas, struggled, as investors favored higher-beta (higher risk/reward potential) names.
1 |
In addition, the fund’s underweight position in government-related securities detracted from relative performance, as this sector generated solid results.
Outlook
As the second quarter begins, fixed-income investors continue to face an environment filled with opportunities and pitfalls. The sovereign debt situation in Europe is a chief ongoing concern, and the market is now focusing on Spain. Investors are taking solace in the improving U.S. economic situation, but Europe’s debt problems cast a large shadow over any sustainable recovery. So far this year, investors have generally sought out higher-risk securities for yield, but the progress (or lack thereof) in the euro zone could greatly influence their risk tolerance. In some respects, this is very similar to 2011, when cash rushed into credit, equity and other risky markets early in the year, only to reverse when political gyrations increased uncertainty. However, a resulting period of volatility can create buying opportunities for us. We continue to add credits that we believe have long-term potential for improving fundamentals.
In the first quarter of 2012, higher U.S. interest rates reinvigorated discussions surrounding the potential threat higher rates pose to fixed-income portfolios. We continue to believe that interest rates are in a period of transition and see rising rates as the next secular trend. However, given the Federal Reserve Board’s commitment to keep short-term rates low at least through the middle of 2014, the trading range in U.S. Treasuries should persist in the near term.
U.S. economic growth has been a bright spot thus far in 2012. We believe the overall health of corporate America remains intact, largely because corporate managements remain conservative. Reductions in the ranks of the unemployed, signs of potential recovery in the housing market and increased lending from financial institutions have highlighted the underlying fundamental health of the domestic economy. We anticipate a modest recovery in the United States and little to no growth in Europe and Japan. However, many areas removed from the developed world show moderate to strong growth potential.
Above all else, our conviction in the merits of fundamental credit research has not changed. We remain steadfast in our opportunistic approach as well as our long-term outlook. Our focus continues to be on maintaining yield advantage, surveying the global marketplace for opportunities, and searching out specific risk that can lead to total return opportunities for the fund.
What You Should Know
Investments in the fund are subject to a number of risks. Please see the “Principal Risks” section of the fund’s prospectus. The purchase of fund shares should be seen as a long-term investment.

Cumulative Performance(a)
March 31, 2002 through March 31, 2012(a)(b)

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Total return and value will vary and you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For most recent month-end performance, visit loomissayles.com. You may not invest directly in an index. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Performance data reflects certain fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would be lower.
The table and graph do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares.
(a) | | Cumulative performance is shown for the Institutional Class. Performance of the Retail and Admin Classes would be lower, due to higher fees. |
(b) | | The mountain chart is based on the initial minimum investment of $100,000 for the Institutional Class. |
(c) | | See page 4 for a description of the indices. |

Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged index that includes U.S. Treasuries, government-related issues, and investment grade U.S. corporate securities.
Lipper BBB-Rated Funds Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the average performance of the 30 largest BBB-rated funds according to Lipper Inc.

The fund’s 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.

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 fund’s prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund 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 October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. 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.
| 4
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.
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.

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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to Loomis Sayles Bond Fund (the “Fund”).
The Fund is a diversified investment company.
Effective January 1, 2012, the name of the Fund’s administrator changed from Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. to NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) and the name of the Fund’s distributor changed from Natixis Distributors, L.P. to NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“NGAM Distribution”).
The Fund offers Institutional Class, Retail Class and 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 the 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 the 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 the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.
a. Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent 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. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and

March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent 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 and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
The 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 the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. 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 Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values 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
| 40
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
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 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 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. The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The 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 the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2012 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Fund’s 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 six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s conclusions regarding 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 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 of items such as foreign currency transactions, premium amortization, defaulted bond adjustments, paydown gains and losses, preferred securities adjustments and return of capital and capital gain distributions from real estate investment trusts (“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, forward foreign currency contract mark to market, defaulted bond interest, REIT basis adjustments 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.
The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2011 was as follows:
| | | | |
2011 Distributions Paid From: |
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
$1,074,060,595 | | $ — | | $1,074,060,595 |
As of September 30, 2011, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:
| | | | |
Capital loss carryforward: | | | | |
Short-term: | | | | |
Expires September 30, 2018 | | $ | (628,747,521 | ) |
| | | | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs, and, with certain exceptions, is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely. Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years. Capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to effective date of the Act; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. Additionally, capital losses realized in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act are carried over in the character (short-term or long-term) realized. Rules in effect previously treated all capital loss carryforwards as short-term.
f. Repurchase Agreements. It is the 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.
| 42
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.
g. Securities Lending. The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, 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 Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Fund did not loan securities under this agreement.
h. 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 Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the 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.); |
43 |
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
| • | | 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 the 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 Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2012, at value:

A debt security ($5,032,625) and preferred stocks ($46,165,800) valued at $51,198,425 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended March 31, 2012. At September 30, 2011, these securities were valued using broker-dealer bid quotations based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service either was unable to price the securities or did not provide a reliable price for securities; at March 31, 2012, these securities were valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service.
All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.
In May 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The ASU requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers; and ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Notwithstanding the projected regulatory implementation date of June 30, 2012 for the Fund, Management has already implemented disclosure of all transfers between Level 1

4. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2012, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government/Agency securities and including paydowns) were $1,824,404,391 and $1,009,255,767, respectively.

a. Management Fees. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to the Fund. Under the terms of the management agreement, the Fund pays a management fee at the following annual rates, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets |
First $3 billion | | Next $12 billion | | Over $15 billion |
0.60% | | 0.50% | | 0.49% |
Loomis Sayles has given a binding undertaking to the Fund to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Fund’s operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses. This undertaking is in effect until January 31, 2013 and is reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to this undertaking.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreement were as follows:
| | | | |
Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets |
Institutional
Class | | Retail
Class | | Admin
Class |
0.70% | | 0.95% | | 1.20% |
Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreement (whether through waiver of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the management fees for the Fund were $51,040,110 (effective rate of 0.51% of average daily net assets).

(“Natixis US”), which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.
b. Service and Distribution Fees. NGAM Distribution, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trust. Pursuant to this agreement, NGAM Distribution serves as principal underwriter of the Funds of the Trust.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan relating to the Fund’s Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plan”), and a Distribution Plan relating to its Admin Class shares (the “Admin Class Plan”).
Under the Retail Class Plan, the Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Retail Class shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Retail Class shares or for payments made by NGAM Distribution to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Retail Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
Under the Admin Class Plan, the Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Admin Class shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by NGAM Distribution to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sales of Admin Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Fund may pay NGAM Distribution an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares. These fees are subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal services and/or account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Fund paid the following service and distribution fees:
| | | | | | |
Service Fees | | | | Distribution Fees |

c. Administrative Fees. NGAM Advisors provides certain administrative services for the Fund and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. NGAM Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), Hansberger International Series and NGAM Advisors, the Fund pays NGAM Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion and 0.0350% of such assets in excess of $60 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Fund paid $4,582,778 in administrative fees to NGAM Advisors.
d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Fund if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Fund’s transfer agent. Accordingly, the Fund has agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by intermediaries (which generally are a percentage of the value of shares held) not to exceed what the Fund would have paid its transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of being held through the intermediaries.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Fund paid the following sub-transfer agent fees which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.
| | | | |
Sub-Transfer Agent Fees |

March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $265,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $95,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.
Prior to January 1, 2012, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $80,000. All other Trustee fees remain unchanged.
A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Fund 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 Statement of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Fund under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
f. Affiliated Ownership. At March 31, 2012, the Loomis Sayles Funded Pension Plan and Trust and the Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held shares of beneficial interest in the Fund representing 0.07% and 0.15% of net assets, respectively.

7. Line of Credit. The Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. Effective April 19, 2012, the commitment fee will be 0.10% per annum.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Fund had no borrowings under these agreements.
8. Concentration of Risk. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.
9. Concentration of Ownership. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record. As of March 31, 2012, the Fund had one omnibus account representing ownership of more than 25% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.
