Proxy Voting Information
A description of the funds’ proxy voting policies and procedures is available without charge, upon request, by calling Loomis Sayles at 800-633-3330; on the Funds’ website at www.loomissayles.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) website at www.sec.gov. Information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12 months ended June 30, 2015 is available on the Funds’ website and the SEC’s website.
Quarterly Portfolio Schedules
The Funds file a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in each Fund’s prospectus. The following examples 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, 2015 through March 31, 2016. 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 = 8.60) 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 to 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. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:
Loomis Sayles Fixed Income Fund (the “Fixed Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund (the “Global Bond Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund (the “Inflation Protected Securities Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Institutional High Income Fund (the “Institutional High Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Bond Fund (the “Intermediate Duration Bond Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund (the “Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund”)
Each Fund is a diversified investment company.
Each Fund offers Institutional Class shares. Global Bond Fund, Inflation Protected Securities Fund and Intermediate Duration Bond Fund also offer Retail Class shares. In addition, Global Bond Fund offers Class N shares.
Each share class is sold without a sales charge. Retail Class shares pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Effective November 2, 2015, Class N shares are offered to investors with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Institutional Class shares are intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000 for Global Bond Fund, Inflation Protected Securities Fund and Intermediate Duration Bond Fund and $3,000,000 for Fixed Income Fund, Institutional High Income Fund and Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Funds’ prospectus.
Most expenses 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 Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds 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 distribution fees and, for Global Bond Fund Institutional Class and Retail Class, collectively, and Class N individually, 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 follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and 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. Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:
Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted 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 rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively. Swaptions are valued at mid prices (between the bid and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Other swaptions not priced through an

independent pricing service are valued based on quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Centrally cleared credit default swap agreements are valued at settlement prices of the clearinghouse on which the contracts were traded or prices obtained from broker-dealers. Bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.
As of March 31, 2016, securities held by the funds were fair valued as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Illiquid securities1 | | | Percentage of Net Assets | | | Other fair valued securities2 | | | Percentage of
Net Assets | |
Fixed Income Fund | | $ | 21,559,550 | | | | 1.8% | | | $ | 4,959,354 | | | | 0.4% | |
Global Bond Fund | | | 3,353,852 | | | | 0.2% | | | | — | | | | — | |
Institutional High Income Fund | | | 15,620,937 | | | | 2.4% | | | | 3,991,113 | | | | 0.6% | |
Intermediate Duration Bond Fund | | | — | | | | — | | | | 27,454 | | | | Less than 0.1% | |
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund | | | 12,135,194 | | | | 2.5% | | | | 483,985 | | | | 0.1% | |
1 Illiquid securities are deemed to be fair valued pursuant to the Fund’s pricing policies and procedures.
2 Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser.
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Negative principal adjustments (in the event of deflation) are recorded as reductions of interest income to the extent of interest income earned, not to exceed the amount of positive principal adjustments on a cumulative basis. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. 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 into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates 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 or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income and may, if the funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the funds.
The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax

purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.
During the six months ended March 31, 2016, the amount of income available to be distributed was reduced by the following amounts as a result of losses arising from changes in exchange rates:
| | | | |
Global Bond Fund | | $ | 22,458,486 | |
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund | | $ | 5,381,505 | |
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. 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 Funds’ 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. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. 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 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 contracts are standardized 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; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, a Fund’s claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.
f. Swaptions. Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swaptions. An interest rate swaption gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to enter into or cancel an interest rate swap agreement at a future date. Interest rate swaptions may be either purchased or written. The buyer of an interest rate swaption may purchase either the right to receive a fixed rate in the underlying swap (known as a “receiver swaption”) or to pay a fixed rate (known as a “payer swaption”), based on the notional amount of the swap agreement, in exchange for a floating rate. The notional amounts of swaptions are not recorded in the financial statements.
When a Fund purchases an interest rate swaption, it pays a premium and the swaption is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing interest rate swaptions which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing interest rate swaptions which are exercised are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying swap to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the difference between the premium paid and the proceeds of the closing sale transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing interest rate swaptions is limited to the premium paid.
When a Fund writes an interest rate swaption, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Premiums received for written interest rate swaptions which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received for written interest rate swaptions which are exercised are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying swap to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the premium received and any amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is treated as a realized gain or, if the premium received is less than the amount paid, as a realized loss. A Fund, as writer of a written interest rate swaption, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the swap underlying the written interest rate swaption.

Over-the-counter interest rate swaptions are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swaption.
g. Swap Agreements. The Funds may enter into credit default and interest rate 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.
An interest rate swap is an agreement with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect themselves from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
The notional amounts of swap agreements are not recorded in the financial statements. Swap agreements are valued daily and fluctuations in the value 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 Assets and Liabilities as fees receivable or payable. When received or paid, fees are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gain or loss. 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.
Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). Bilateral swap agreements are 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. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund faces the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund based on the daily change in the value of the centrally cleared swap agreement. For centrally cleared swaps, the Fund’s counterparty credit risk is reduced as the CCP stands between the Fund and the counterparty. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding swap agreements by segregating or earmarking cash or securities.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, no swap agreements were held by the Funds.
h. When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Funds may enter into when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. When-issued refers to transactions made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not been issued. Delayed delivery refers to transactions for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of when-issued and delayed delivery securities and the date when the securities 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 value of the security may vary with market fluctuations during the time before the Funds take delivery of the security. No interest accrues to the Funds until the transaction settles.
Delayed delivery transactions include those designated as To Be Announced (“TBAs”) in the Portfolios of Investments. For TBAs, the actual security that will be delivered to fulfill the transaction is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. Certain transactions require the Funds or counterparty to post cash and/or securities as collateral for the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding delayed delivery commitments by segregating or earmarking cash or securities at the custodian.
Purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds’ NAV 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.

i. 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, 2016 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.
j. 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 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 gains and losses, convertible bonds, paydown gains and losses, premium amortization, capital gain distributions received, return of capital distributions received, treasury inflation-protected bonds and contingent payment debt instruments. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, straddle deferrals, wash sales, convertible bonds, premium amortization, forward foreign currency and futures contracts mark-to-market, trust preferred securities, return of capital distributions received, contingent payment debt instruments and defaulted and/or non-income producing securities. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. 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, 2015 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2015 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
Fixed Income Fund | | $ | 68,550,473 | | | $ | 47,206,392 | | | $ | 115,756,865 | |
Global Bond Fund | | | 29,469,272 | | | | 10,620,770 | | | | 40,090,042 | |
Inflation Protected Securities Fund | | | 244,073 | | | | — | | | | 244,073 | |
Institutional High Income Fund | | | 40,546,892 | | | | 25,608,119 | | | | 66,155,011 | |
Intermediate Duration Bond Fund | | | 2,124,550 | | | | — | | | | 2,124,550 | |
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund | | | 22,367,076 | | | | 5,501,170 | | | | 27,868,246 | |
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.

Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes.
k. Loan Participations. Each Fund may invest in loans to corporate, governmental or other borrowers. The Funds’ investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, (i) a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the party from whom the Fund has purchased the participation and only upon receipt by that party of payments from the borrower and (ii) a Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement or to vote on matters arising under the loan agreement. Thus, a Fund may be subject to credit risk both of the party from whom it purchased the loan participation and the borrower and the Fund may have minimal control over the terms of any loan modification. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. Loan agreements and participations outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
l. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. 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. As of March 31, 2016, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
m. Due to/from Brokers. Transactions and positions in certain forward foreign currency contracts and delayed delivery commitments are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between a Fund and the various broker/dealers. The due to brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Global Bond Fund represents cash or securities received as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts. The due from brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Global Bond Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts or delayed delivery securities. In certain circumstances a Fund’s use of cash and/or securities held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.
n. 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, 2016, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
o. 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.); and |
| • | | 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 Funds’ pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds do not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2016, at value:

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that Global Bond Fund and Inflation Protected Securities Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and swaptions.
Inflation Protected Securities Fund may use interest rate swaptions to gain exposure, such as to enter into a contract to benefit from a rise or fall in interest rates. During the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in interest rate swaptions for this purpose.
Global Bond Fund is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Funds’ holdings of foreign securities. The Fund 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 Fund. During the six months ended March 31, 2016, Global Bond Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.
Global Bond Fund and Inflation Protected Securities Fund 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 and interest rate swaptions 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, 2016, Global Bond Fund used futures contracts and Inflation Protected Securities Fund used interest rate swaptions to manage duration. Inflation Protected Securities Fund used futures contracts and interest rate swaptions to hedge against changes in interest rates.

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.

Over-the-counter derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaptions, are entered into pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements negotiated between the Funds and their counterparties. ISDA agreements typically contain, among other things, terms for the posting of collateral and master netting provisions in the event of a default or other termination event. Collateral is posted by a Fund or the counterparty to the extent of the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party of all open contracts under the agreement, subject to minimum transfer requirements. Master netting provisions allow the Funds and the counterparty, in the event of a default or other termination event, to offset amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts, including any posted collateral, to one net amount payable by either the Funds or the counterparty. The Funds’ ISDA agreements typically contain provisions that allow a counterparty to terminate open contracts early if the NAV of a Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and liabilities, and any related collateral received or pledged, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of March 31, 2016, gross amounts of over-the-counter derivative assets and liabilities not offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the related net amounts after taking into account master netting arrangements, by counterparty, are as follows:

The actual collateral received or pledged, if any, may exceed the amounts shown in the table due to overcollateralization. Timing differences may exist between when contracts under the ISDA agreements are marked-to-market and when collateral moves. The ISDA agreements include tri-party control agreements under which collateral is held for the benefit of the secured party at a third party custodian, State Street Bank.
Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the Fund’s aggregated unrealized gains and the amount of any collateral pledged to the counterparty, which may be offset by any collateral posted to the Fund by the counterparty. ISDA master agreements can help to manage counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under these ISDA agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure in respect of certain transactions, net of existing collateral already in place, exceeds a specified amount (typically $250,000, depending on the counterparty). With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. Based on balances reflected on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following table shows (i) the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the applicable Fund would incur if parties (including OTC derivative counterparties and brokers holding margin for exchange-traded derivatives) to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, and (ii) the amount of loss that the applicable Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of March 31, 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Maximum Amount of Loss - Gross | | | Maximum Amount of Loss - Net | |
Global Bond Fund | | $ | 11,831,417 | | | $ | 5,553,059 | |
Inflation Protected Securities Fund | | | 3,344 | | | | 2,716 | |
These amounts include cash and U.S. government and agency securities received as collateral for Global Bond Fund of $1,143,937. U.S. government and agency securities received as collateral are valued in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies and are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

b. Distribution Fees. NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“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, Global Bond Fund, Inflation Protected Securities Fund and Intermediate Duration Bond Fund have adopted a Distribution Plan relating to each Fund’s Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plans”).
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 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.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the distribution fees for each Fund were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Retail Class | |
Global Bond Fund | | $ | 516,965 | |
Inflation Protected Securities Fund | | | 8,582 | |

| | | | |
Fund | | Administrative Fees | |

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations) for each Fund were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Sub-Transfer Agent Fees | |
Global Bond Fund | | $ | 1,443,167 | |
Inflation Protected Securities Fund | | | 10,506 | |
Institutional High Income Fund | | | 3,093 | |
Intermediate Duration Bond Fund | | | 13,892 | |
As of March 31, 2016, the Funds owe NGAM Distribution the following reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as payable to distributor):
| | | | |
Fund | | Reimbursements of Sub-Transfer Agent Fees | |
Global Bond Fund | | $ | 35,770 | |
Inflation Protected Securities Fund | | | 274 | |
Institutional High Income Fund | | | 88 | |
Intermediate Duration Bond Fund | | | 311 | |
Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Institutional Class and Retail Class 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 those classes.
e. 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. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $325,000. 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 $155,000. 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, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $17,500. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review 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 $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. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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, 2016, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $300,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $130,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee received an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $5,000. All other Trustee fees remained 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, 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.
f. Affiliated Ownership. As of March 31, 2016, Loomis Sayles owned shares equating to 5.88% of Inflation Protected Securities Fund and Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”) held shares of the Funds representing the following percentages of the Fund’s net assets:
| | | | |
Fund | | Retirement Plan | |
Global Bond Fund | | | 0.45% | |
Inflation Protected Securities Fund | | | 15.94% | |
Institutional High Income Fund | | | 2.66% | |
Intermediate Duration Bond Fund | | | 0.91% | |
Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds.

7. Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2016, Global Bond Fund incurred the following class-specific transfer agent fees and expenses (including sub-transfer agent fees, where applicable):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Institutional Class | | | Retail Class | | | Class N | |
Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses | | $ | 1,107,004 | | | $ | 367,872 | | | $ | 245 | |
Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Institutional Class and Retail Class 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 those classes. Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class N are allocated to Class N.
All other Funds in this report allocate transfer agent fees and expenses on a pro rata basis based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes.
8. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, participates in a $150,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank and Trust. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $150,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $150,000,000 limit at any time). 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 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, Global Bond Fund had an average daily balance on the line of credit (for those days on which there were borrowings) of $42,365,797 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.64%. Interest expense incurred (which is reflected in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations) was $3,860.
Effective April 14, 2016, the line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company expired, and the Funds, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, entered into a 364-day, $400,000,000 syndicated, committed, unsecured line of credit with Citibank, N.A. to be used for temporary or emergency purposes only. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $400,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and other fees in connection with the new line of credit agreement.
9. Concentration of Risk. Each 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.
10. Concentration of Ownership. From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Funds. As of

March 31, 2016, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts (including accounts owned by affiliates) representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, 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 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which NGAM Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts, or investment models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer, are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Funds do not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The table(s) do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any Fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. 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. Unlike a fund, an index is not managed and does not reflect fees and expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
Typically, mutual fund shareholders incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. However, the Funds are unlike other mutual funds; they do not charge any fees or expenses.
You should be aware that shares in the Funds are available only to institutional investment advisory clients of Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) and NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“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, 2015 through March 31, 2016.
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 to 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. 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.
Each Fund offers Institutional Class shares. The Funds’ shares are offered exclusively to investors in “wrap fee” programs approved by NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“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 follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and 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. Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:
Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted 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 rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively. Centrally cleared credit default swap agreements are valued at settlement prices of the clearinghouse on which the contracts were traded or prices obtained from broker-dealers. Bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by a Fund.

As of March 31, 2016, securities held by the funds were fair valued as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Illiquid securities1 | | | Percentage of Net Assets | | | Other fair valued securities2 | | | Percentage of Net Assets | |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | $ | 1,159,013 | | | | 0.9% | | | $ | 435,933 | | | | 0.3% | |
Securitized Asset Fund | | | 8,123,642 | | | | 0.8% | | | | 10,244,742 | | | | 1.1% | |
1 Illiquid securities are deemed to be fair valued pursuant to the Fund’s pricing policies and procedures.
2 Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser.
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV 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. 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 into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates 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 or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.
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’ 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. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. 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.
No forward foreign currency contracts were held by the Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2016.
e. Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular 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.

March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures contracts are standardized 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; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, a Fund’s claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.
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.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for those agreements for which the Fund is the protection seller. Implied credit spreads serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular reference entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
The notional amounts of swap agreements are not recorded in the financial statements. Swap agreements are valued daily, and fluctuations in value 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 Assets and Liabilities as fees receivable or payable. When received or paid, fees are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gain or loss. 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.
Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). Bilateral swap agreements are 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. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund faces the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund based on the daily change in the value of the centrally cleared swap agreement. For centrally cleared swaps, the Fund’s counterparty credit risk is reduced as the CCP stands between the Fund and the counterparty. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding swap agreements by segregating or earmarking cash or securities.
g. When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Funds may enter into when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. When-issued refers to transactions made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not been issued. Delayed delivery refers to transactions for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of when-issued and delayed delivery securities and the date when the securities 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 value of the security may vary with market fluctuations during the time before the Funds take delivery of the security. No interest accrues to the Funds until the transaction settles.
Delayed delivery transactions include those designated as To Be Announced (“TBAs”) in the Portfolios of Investments. For TBAs, the actual security that will be delivered to fulfill the transaction is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. Certain transactions require the Funds or counterparty to post cash and/or securities as collateral for the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding delayed delivery commitments by segregating or earmarking cash or securities at the custodian.

March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
Purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds’ NAV 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.
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 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, 2016 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.
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 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 and/or non-income producing securities, contingent payment debt instruments, capital gain and return of capital distributions received, convertible bonds and paydown gains and losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to wash sales, premium amortization, return of capital distributions received, defaulted bonds and/or non-income producing securities, contingent payment debt instruments, swap net payable/receivable, convertible bonds and futures contracts mark-to-market. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. 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, 2015 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2015 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary
Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | $ | 5,404,902 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 5,404,902 | |
Securitized Asset Fund | | | 45,553,367 | | | | — | | | | 45,553,367 | |
As of September 30, 2015, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Capital loss carryforward: | | High Income Opportunities Fund | | | Securitized Asset Fund | |
Long-term: | | | | | | | | |
No expiration date | | $ | — | | | $ | (11,377,584 | ) |
j. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. 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. As of March 31, 2016, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
k. Due to/from Brokers. Transactions and positions in certain futures contracts and delayed delivery commitments are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between the Funds and the various broker/dealers. The due to brokers balance in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for Securitized Asset Fund represents cash received as collateral for delayed delivery securities. The due from brokers balance in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for Securitized Asset Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for delayed delivery securities and as initial margin for futures contracts. In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.
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, 2016, neither Fund 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.); and |
| • | | 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 Funds’ pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds do not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

1 Securities are valued using a discount to the “round lot” price for the same security. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the discount rate. A significant change in the discount rate could have a material effect on the fair value measurement. There is an inverse relationship between the discount rate and the fair value measurement, meaning a significant increase in the discount rate would result in a lower fair value measurement, and vice versa.
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value as of September 30, 2015 and/or March 31, 2016:

4. Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that the Funds used during the period include futures contracts and swap agreements.
The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Funds’ investments in fixed-income securities. The Funds will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that they invest in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Funds may use futures contracts to 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, 2016, High Income Opportunities Fund used futures contracts to manage duration and Securitized Asset Fund used futures contracts to manage duration and to hedge against changes in interest rates.

Transactions in derivative instruments for Securitized Asset Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2016 as reflected in the Statements of Operations were as follows:
| | | | |
Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: | | Futures contracts | |
Interest rate contracts | | $ | 2,307,111 | |
| |
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on: | | Futures contracts | |
Interest rate contracts | | | $(323,519) | |
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 contract and swap agreement activity, as a percentage of net assets, 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, 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | Futures | | | Credit Default Swaps | |
Average Notional Amount Outstanding | | | 3.67% | | | | 3.76% | |

Notional amounts outstanding at the end of the prior period, if applicable, are included in the averages above.
Unrealized gain and/or loss on open futures and swap contracts is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The aggregate notional values of futures and swap contracts are not recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and therefore are not included in the Funds’ net assets.
Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. Based on balances reflected on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following table shows the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the applicable Fund would incur if parties to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund:

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 and all other expenses incurred.
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. Service and Distribution Fees. NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“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.
c. 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.

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. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $325,000. 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 $155,000. 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, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $17,500. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review 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 $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. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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, 2016, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $300,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $130,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee received an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $5,000. All other Trustee fees remained 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, participates in a $150,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank and Trust. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $150,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $150,000,000 limit at any time). 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 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, neither Fund had borrowings under this agreement.
Effective April 14, 2016, the line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company expired, and the Funds, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, entered into a 364-day, $400,000,000 syndicated, committed, unsecured line of credit with Citibank, N.A. to be used for temporary or emergency purposes only. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $400,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and other fees in connection with the new line of credit agreement.
8. Concentration of Risk. Securitized Asset Fund’s investments in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to certain risks not associated with investments in other securities. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to the risk that unexpected changes in interest rates will have a direct effect on expected maturity. A shortened maturity may result in the reinvestment of prepaid amounts in securities with lower yields than the original obligations. An extended maturity may result in a reduction of a security’s value.
9. Concentration of Ownership. From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Funds. As of March 31, 2016, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, 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 were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Number of 5% Account Holders | | Percentage of Ownership |
High Income Opportunities Fund | | 2 | | 17.05% |
| 38

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which NGAM Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts, or investment models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer, are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Funds do not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.
10. Capital Shares. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

Proxy Voting Information
A description of the Funds’ proxy voting policies and procedures is available without charge upon request, by calling Loomis Sayles at 800-633-3330; on the Funds’ website, at www.loomissayles.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) website at www.sec.gov. Information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12 months ended June 30, 2015 is available on the Funds’ website and the SEC’s website.
Quarterly Portfolio Schedules
The Funds file a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Funds’ prospectus. The following examples 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, 2015 through March 31, 2016. 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 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 to 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trusts” and each a “Trust”) are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Each Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the 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”)
Loomis Sayles Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund”)
Each Fund is a diversified investment company.
Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund were closed to new investors effective September 14, 2012 and September 15, 2008, respectively. Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund continue to offer Institutional Class, Retail Class and Class N shares to existing investors and Small Cap Value Fund continues to offer Admin Class shares to existing investors.
Each share class is sold without a sales charge. Retail Class and Admin Class shares pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Effective November 2, 2015, Class N shares are offered to investors with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Institutional Class shares are intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000 for Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund and $1,000,000 for Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus. Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries.
Most expenses 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 Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds 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 for Institutional Class, Retail Class and Admin Class (for Small Cap Value Fund), collectively, and Class N, individually, 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.

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 follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and 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. Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:
Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted 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.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a
39 |
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by a Fund.
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. 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 into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates 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 or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal
| 40
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities.
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. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trusts treat 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, 2016 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, where applicable, 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

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 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 return of capital distributions received, deferred Trustees’ fees, net operating losses and non-deductible expenses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to return of capital distributions received, deferred Trustees’ fees and wash sales. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. 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, 2015 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2015 Distributions Paid From: | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 149,109,447 | | | $ | 149,109,447 | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 10,451,269 | | | | 142,087,857 | | | | 152,539,126 | |
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
As of September 30, 2015, capital loss carryforwards and late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Small Cap Growth Fund | | | Small Cap Value Fund | | | Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | |
Capital loss carryforward: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Short-term: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
No expiration date | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | (168,511 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals* | | $ | (5,146,367 | ) | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
* Under current tax law, capital losses, foreign currency losses, and losses on passive foreign investment companies and contingent payment debt instruments after October 31 or December 31, as applicable, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following taxable year.
f. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. 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
| 42
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
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. As of March 31, 2016, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
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, 2016, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.
h. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
3. Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
43 |
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
| • | | 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.); and |
| • | | 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, 2016, at value:

5. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
a. Management Fees. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to each Fund. Under the terms of the management agreements, each Fund pays a management fee at the following annual rates, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | |
Fund | | Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | 0.75% |
Small Cap Value Fund | | 0.75% |
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | 0.75% |
Loomis Sayles has given binding undertakings to the Funds to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Funds’ operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, organizational and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification expenses. These undertakings are in effect until January 31, 2017, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Funds’ Board of Trustees and are reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings. Waivers/reimbursements that exceed management fees payable are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivable from investment adviser.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund have adopted a Distribution Plan relating to each Fund’s Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plans”) and Small Cap Value Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan relating to its Admin Class shares (the “Admin Class Plan”).
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 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, 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, 2016, the service and distribution fees for each Fund were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Service Fees | | | Distribution Fees | |
Fund | | Admin Class | | | Retail Class | | | Admin Class | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 185,190 | | | $ | — | |

For the six months ended March 31, 2016, NGAM Distribution refunded Small Cap Value Fund $2,389 of prior year Admin Class service fees paid to NGAM Distribution in excess of amounts subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries. Service and distribution fees on the Statements of Operations have been reduced by this amount.
c. Administrative Fees. NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Funds and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator.

47 |
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
each 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion, 0.0350% of the next $30 billion and 0.0325% of such assets in excess of $90 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the administrative fees for each Fund were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Administrative Fees | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 243,326 | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 225,340 | |
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | 2,157 | |
d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations) for each Fund were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Sub-Transfer Agent Fees | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 597,235 | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 506,376 | |
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | 38 | |
| 48
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
As of March 31, 2016, the Funds owe NGAM Distribution the following reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as payable to distributor):
| | | | |
Fund | | Reimbursements of Sub-Transfer Agent Fees | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 13,447 | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 12,182 | |
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | 2 | |
Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Institutional Class, Retail Class and Admin Class 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 those classes.
e. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trusts do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution, Natixis US or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $325,000. 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 $155,000. 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, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $17,500. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review 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 $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. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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, 2016, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $300,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $130,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee received an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $5,000. All other Trustee fees remained 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, 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.
f. Affiliated Ownership. As of March 31, 2016, Loomis Sayles Funded Pension Plan and Trust (“Pension Plan”), Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”), and Natixis US held shares of the Funds representing the following percentages of the Fund’s net assets:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Pension Plan | | Retirement Plan | | Natixis US | | Total Affiliated Ownership |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | 0.92% | | 1.32% | | — | | 2.24% |

Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | — | | 7.27% | | 83.19% | | 90.46% |
Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds.
6. Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Funds incurred the following class-specific transfer agent fees and expenses (including sub-transfer agent fees, where applicable):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses | |
Fund | | Institutional Class | | | Retail Class | | | Admin Class | | | Class N | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 512,513 | | | $ | 96,365 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 235 | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 353,164 | | | | 149,729 | | | | 23,802 | | | | 187 | |
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | 535 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Institutional Class, Retail Class and Admin Class are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes. Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class N are allocated to Class N.
7. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, participates in a $150,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank and Trust. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $150,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $150,000,000 limit at any time). 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 0.15% 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.

March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, none of the Funds had borrowings under this agreement.
Effective April 14, 2016, the line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company expired, and the Funds, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, entered into a 364-day, $400,000,000 syndicated, committed, unsecured line of credit with Citibank, N.A. to be used for temporary or emergency purposes only. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $400,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and other fees in connection with the new line of credit agreement.
8. Brokerage Commission Recapture. Each Fund has entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. All amounts rebated by the brokers are returned to the Funds under such agreements and are included in realized gains on investments in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended March 31, 2016, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Rebates | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 35,939 | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 23,336 | |
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | 310 | |
9. Concentration of Ownership. From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Funds. As of March 31, 2016, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts (including accounts owned by affiliates) representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, 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 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Number of 5% Non-Affiliated Account Holders | | Percentage of Non-Affiliated Ownership | | Percentage of Affiliated Ownership (Note 5) | | Total Percentage of Ownership |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | 2 | | 32.47% | | — | | 32.47% |
Small Cap Value Fund | | 3 | | 24.43% | | — | | 24.43% |
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | — | | — | | 90.46% | | 90.46% |

where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer, are included in the table above.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The table(s) do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any Fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. 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. Unlike a fund, an index is not managed and does not reflect fees and expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Proxy Voting Information
A description of the Fund’s proxy voting policies and procedures is available without charge upon request, by calling Loomis Sayles Funds at 800-633-3330; on the Fund’s website at www.loomissayles.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) website at www.sec.gov. Information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12 months ended June 30, 2015 is available on the Fund’s website and the SEC’s website.
Quarterly Portfolio Schedules
The Fund files a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.
UNDERSTANDING 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. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Fund’s prospectus. The following examples 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, 2015 through March 31, 2016. 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.
| 2
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 to 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
1. Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. 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.
The Fund offers Institutional Class, Retail Class, Admin Class and Class N shares.
Each share class is sold without a sales charge. Retail Class and Admin Class shares pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Admin Class shares are primarily intended for employer-sponsored retirement plans and are offered exclusively through intermediaries. Effective November 2, 2015, Class N shares are offered to investors with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Institutional Class shares are intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus.
Most expenses 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 Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”). 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, for Institutional Class, Retail Class, and Admin Class collectively, and Class N individually, 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 follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and 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. Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:
Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted 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.
Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from
| 36
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.
As of March 31, 2016, securities held by the Fund were fair valued as follows:
| | | | | | |
Illiquid securities1 | | Percentage of Net Assets | | Other fair valued securities2 | | Percentage of Net Assets |
$476,636,810 | | 3.0% | | $78,234,129 | | 0.5% |
1 Illiquid securities are deemed to be fair valued pursuant to the Fund’s pricing policies and procedures.
2 Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser.
b. Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV 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 cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. 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 exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates 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 or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Fund has net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Fund.
The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statement of Operations reflect gains or losses
37 |
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statement of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Fund has net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Fund.
During the six months ended March 31, 2016, the amount of income available to be distributed by the Fund was reduced by $260,243,840 as a result of losses arising 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. When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Fund may enter into when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. When-issued refers to transactions made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not been issued. Delayed delivery refers to transactions for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of when-issued and delayed delivery securities and the date when the securities 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 Fund at the time the commitment is entered into. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations during the time before the Fund takes delivery of the security. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles.
Delayed delivery transactions include those designated as To Be Announced (“TBAs”) in the Portfolios of Investments. For TBAs, the actual security that will be delivered to fulfill the transaction is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. Certain transactions require the Fund or counterparty to post cash and/or securities as collateral for the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party. The Fund cover its net obligations under outstanding delayed delivery commitments by segregating or earmarking cash or securities at the custodian.
Purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Fund’s NAV as if the Fund’s 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.
e. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. 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
| 38
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
analysis of the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2016 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statement of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to the Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.
f. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined 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, contingent payment debt instruments, premium amortization, convertible bonds, paydown gains and losses, return of capital and capital gain distributions received and trust preferred securities. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, premium amortization, convertible bonds, defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, return of capital distributions received, trust preferred securities, and contingent payment debt instruments. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Fund’s fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital
39 |
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
distribution. 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, 2015 was as follows:
| | | | |
2015 Distributions Paid From: |
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
$776,328,389 | | $643,741,997 | | $1,420,070,386 |
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 March 31, 2016, unrealized depreciation on a tax basis was approximately as follows:
| | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | | |
Investments | | $ | (56,519,266 | ) |
Foreign currency translations | | | (962,957,327 | ) |
| | | | |
Total unrealized depreciation | | $ | (1,019,476,593 | ) |
| | | | |
Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes.
g. Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. 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. 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. As of March 31, 2016, the Fund had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
h. 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, 2016, the Fund did not loan securities under this agreement.
i. 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.); and |
| • | | 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 Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a

March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2016, at value:

| | | | | | |
Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets |
First $3 billion | | Next $12 billion | | Next $10 billion | | Over $25 billion |
0.60% | | 0.50% | | 0.49% | | 0.48% |
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, organizational and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect until January 31, 2017, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees and is reevaluated on an annual basis.

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 annual operating 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, 2016, the management fees for the Fund were $44,857,444 (effective rate of 0.52% of average daily net assets).

b. Service and Distribution Fees. NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“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 Distribution Plans relating to the Fund’s Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plan”) and 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, 2016, the service and distribution fees for the Fund were as follows:

and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion, 0.0350% of the next $30 billion and 0.0325% of such assets in excess of $90 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the administrative fees for the Fund were $3,814,080.
d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Fund and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Fund primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Fund. These services would have been provided by the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Fund’s transfer agent. Accordingly, the Fund has agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations) for the Fund were $6,616,339.
As of March 31, 2016, the Fund owes NGAM Distribution $86,835 in reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as payable to distributor).
Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Institutional Class, Retail Class and Admin Class 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 those classes.
e. 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. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $325,000. 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 $155,000. 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.

receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review 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 $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. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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, 2016, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $300,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $130,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee received an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $5,000. All other Trustee fees remained 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, 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. As of March 31, 2016, Loomis Sayles Funded Pension Plan and Trust and Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held shares of the Fund representing 0.07% and 0.21% of the Fund’s net assets, respectively.
Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Fund.
g. Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. NGAM Advisors had given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for the Fund’s Class N shares. This undertaking was in effect through January 31, 2016 and is not subject to recovery under the expense limitation agreement described above.
For the period October 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016, NGAM Advisors reimbursed the Fund $896 for transfer agency expenses related to Class N shares.

6. Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Fund incurred the following class-specific transfer agent fees and expenses (including sub-transfer agent fees, where applicable):
| | | | | | |
Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses |
Institutional Class | | Retail Class | | Admin Class | | Class N |
$4,597,613 | | $2,175,184 | | $89,790 | | $1,335 |
Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Institutional Class, Retail Class and Admin Class are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes. Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class N are allocated to Class N.
7. Line of Credit. The Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, participates in a $150,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank and Trust. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $150,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $150,000,000 limit at any time). 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 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Fund had no borrowings under this agreement.
Effective April 14, 2016, the line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company expired, and the Funds, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, entered into a 364-day, $400,000,000 syndicated, committed, unsecured line of credit with Citibank, N.A. to be used for temporary or emergency purposes only. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $400,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and other fees in connection with the new line of credit agreement.
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.
