Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is high total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Market Conditions

Bonds produced muted returns in 2021, with the most interest rate-sensitive investments generally experiencing the weakest performance. The strong recovery in economic growth, which occurred as the rollout of multiple vaccines for Covid-19 allowed for a gradual restoration of normal business conditions, was an important headwind for the market. Despite the improving economy, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) remained committed to an ultra-accommodative monetary policy for much of the year. The Fed retained this stance through the third calendar quarter even as inflation started to accelerate, stating that the price pressures were likely to be “transitory.” However, a continued increase in inflation in the autumn prompted the Fed to shift toward a tighter policy in November. In addition to reducing the extent of the stimulative bond-buying program known as quantitative easing (a process referred to as “tapering”), the Fed began to signal the likelihood of interest rate increases in 2022. Together, these developments depressed returns across the bond market.

US Treasuries posted negative returns in 2021. The first part of the year brought rising yields (and falling prices) for longer-term Treasuries, which tend to be highly sensitive to the outlook for economic growth. Later in the year, short-term bonds – which are heavily influenced by Fed policy – experienced a selloff of their own in response to the unfavorable shift in the interest rate outlook. The ten-year note, which entered the year with a yield of 0.93%, moved up to 1.74% at the end of the first quarter before closing 2021 at 1.52%. The yield on the two-year note, in contrast, only moved from 0.13% to 0.20% in the first eight months of the year, but the subsequent selloff caused its yield to surge to 0.73% by year-end. The Treasury yield curve flattened dramatically as a result of these shifts.

Investment grade corporate debt experienced a modest loss for the year. Although the category benefited from improving credit conditions and investors’ appetite for both risk and yield, it was adversely affected by the downturn in US Treasuries.

Investors’ heightened risk tolerance translated to strong returns for high yield corporates. The category tends to have lower interest rate sensitivity than investment grade bonds, which helped relative performance. High yield further benefited from the general improvement in corporations’ earnings and balance sheets, as well as the surge in oil prices. Leveraged loans, which typically offer yields that adjust upward with prevailing interest rates, also outperformed the broader market by a wide margin.

Securitized credit – including asset-backed securities (ABS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), collateralized loan obligations (CLO), and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) – produced positive excess returns over US Treasuries. The category’s underlying fundamentals remained firm, with continued strength in both real estate prices and consumer credit. Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) produced negative excess returns versus US Treasuries as interest rate volatility increased.

Emerging market bonds lost ground in 2021. Although the category offers above-average yields, the benefit was outweighed by weak price performance. Slowing growth in China and Brazil, together with a persistent uptrend in the US dollar, were key factors weighing on the asset class.

Portfolio Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2021, Institutional Class shares of the Loomis Sayles Bond Fund returned 3.23% at net asset value. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned -1.75%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

Security selection was the primary source of outperformance for the Fund. Within corporate credit, high yield was a notable contributor to relative return, aided by consumer non-cyclical and energy holdings. An allocation to equity securities, particularly within the energy, utility, and consumer non-cyclical sectors, was positive as stock markets posted strong gains for the period. Select finance companies and insurance names within investment grade corporate credit were also beneficial. Finally, performance was helped by the Fund’s exposure to asset-backed securities within securitized credit as this sector fared better than many other broad fixed income markets.

Duration positioning in US Treasuries was the main detractor of performance. The Fund began the first quarter of 2021 with notably longer duration relative to the benchmark within US Treasuries. This longer duration stance was decreased in subsequent months using Treasury futures as part of a larger effort to decrease the Fund’s overall duration positioning. Given the interest rate movements earlier in the year, these derivative positions detracted from returns.

Outlook

In our view, the macroeconomic outlook remains positive, as a healthy consumer, strong corporate fundamentals and relatively easy financial conditions have continued to be a tailwind to economic activity. Although confirmed Covid-19 cases spiked at the end of 2021, driven largely by the Omicron variant, we do not expect a material disruption in the demand for goods and services going forward. We believe US growth will remain above its long-term trend and unemployment will likely fall as wage growth draws participants back into the workforce. This macroeconomic backdrop appears positive for risk assets; however, elevated inflation readings have increased the risk of a central bank policy mistake. Any tightening of policy to fight inflation will need to balance the impact to growth, which has lingering uncertainties related to Covid-19, slowing Chinese growth (and deleveraging within its property sector), and ongoing global supply chain disruptions. While we do not expect the tightening cycle to put growth at risk, we do believe market volatility could potentially increase provided the market reprices evolving central bank policies globally.

Under our base case of economic expansion, we believe inflation will remain elevated and above the Fed’s target throughout 2022. The Fed’s hawkish pivot to concern over inflation could drive a faster tapering of asset purchases, which should conclude in March, before the anticipated liftoff in the benchmark fed funds rate in the second quarter. The pace and magnitude of rate hikes will largely be dependent on whether inflation eases throughout the year provided that supply chain disruptions subside. We anticipate that interest rates will likely move higher and remain defensive on interest rate risk, positioned shorter than broad market benchmarks from a duration perspective to help minimize any negative performance impact from rising rates.

We believe we are currently in the expansion phase of the credit cycle¹ with credit fundamentals, technical factors and default expectations continuing to appear attractive. We remain “pro risk” on credit exposure for higher carry potential and believe that individual issuer selection will be key in seeking to deliver attractive performance in 2022. Strong corporate profits, debt repayment and continued strong investor appetite for yield could help to provide a tailwind to credit markets. From a sector perspective, we are targeting those that have strong carry potential, less interest rate sensitivity and positive convexity (i.e., a favorable risk/reward profile in a changing rate environment). As such, we currently favor high yield corporates and convertible securities, as well as securitized debt, which can provide diversification away from pure corporate risk, attractive yield potential and shorter duration profiles.

During the fourth quarter, credit markets were generally resilient to a significant hawkish pivot in Fed policy as well as concerns over Chinese growth, which could indicate that there is a strong demand for yield. We believe this dynamic will likely hold going forward given our outlook that downgrades, defaults and losses will trend meaningfully below long-term averages. Given our macroeconomic expectations and credit cycle outlook, in our view, embracing credit risk over interest rate risk is a reasonable approach for 2022. We recognize, however, that valuations have been elevated, credit spreads have been through their long-term averages and market volatility will likely increase as Fed policy evolves. As a result, we have built flexibility into our portfolios in seeking to take advantage of opportunities that may arise as a result of short-term disruptions.

During periods in which the US dollar appreciates relative to foreign currencies, Funds that hold non-US-dollar-denominated bonds, foreign currency, or foreign currency-based derivative securities (“Foreign Currency Exposures”) may realize currency losses in connection with the maturity or sale of certain Foreign Currency Exposures. These losses impact a Fund’s ordinary income distributions (to the extent that losses are not offset by realized currency gains within the Fund’s fiscal year). A recognized currency loss, in accordance with federal tax rules, decreases the amount of ordinary income a Fund has available to distribute, even though non-US-dollar-denominated bonds continue to generate coupon income.

Fund officers have analyzed the Fund’s current portfolio of investments, realized currency gains and losses, schedule of maturities, and the corresponding amounts of unrealized currency losses that may become realized during the current fiscal year. This analysis is performed regularly to determine how realized currency losses have and will impact periodic ordinary income distributions for the Fund. Based on the most recent quarterly analysis (as of December 31, 2021), realized currency losses will continue to have an impact on the distributions in the 2022 fiscal year. This analysis is based on certain assumptions including, but not limited to, the amount of Foreign Currency Exposures held by the Fund, the level of foreign currency exchange rates, security prices, interest rates, the Fund advisers’ ability to manage realized currency losses, and the net asset level of the Fund. Changes to these assumptions could materially impact the analysis and the amounts of future Fund distributions. Fund officers will continue to monitor these amounts on a regular basis and take the necessary actions required to manage the Fund’s distributions to address realized currency losses while seeking to avoid a return of capital distribution.

A credit cycle is a cyclical pattern that follows credit availability and corporate health.

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is above-average total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Market Conditions

Portfolio Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2021, Institutional Class shares of the Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund returned 0.80% at net asset value. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned -1.75%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

Security selection was the primary source of outperformance for the Fund. Both investment grade and high yield corporate credit were positive contributors to performance for the period. Communications and consumer cyclical holdings aided relative return within investment grade. For high yield credit, transportation, consumer non-cyclical, and energy names were beneficial. An allocation to equity securities, particularly within the technology sector, was positive as stock markets posted strong gains for the period. Finally, performance was helped by the Fund’s exposure to asset-backed securities within securitized credit as this sector fared better than many other broad fixed income markets.

Duration positioning in US Treasuries was the main detractor of performance. The Fund began the first quarter of 2021 with longer duration relative to the benchmark within US Treasuries. This longer duration stance was decreased in subsequent months using Treasury futures as part of a larger effort to decrease the Fund’s overall duration positioning.

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 July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table for each class of Fund shares provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund 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.

7 |

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

December 31, 2021

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 Bond Fund (the “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. In addition, Bond Fund also offers 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. Class N shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered 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 Bond Fund and $3,000,000 for Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N and Institutional Class as outlined in the relevant 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, and Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), and Natixis ETF Trust and Natixis ETF Trust II (“Natixis ETF 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 (such as the Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Retail Class and Admin Class) and transfer agent fees are borne collectively for Institutional Class, Retail Class, and Admin Class, and individually for Class N. 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 year-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

a. Valuation. 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 and collateralized loan obligations 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, senior loans and collateralized loan obligations 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.

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. 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.

Illiquid securities for which market quotations are readily available and have been evaluated by the adviser are considered and classified as fair valued securities pursuant to the Funds’ pricing policies and procedures.

As of December 31, 2021, securities held by the Funds were fair valued as follows:


Fund	Securities classified as fair valued		Percentage of Net Assets		Securities fair valued by the Fund’s adviser		Percentage of Net Assets
Bond Fund	$	144,814,096		1.9%	$	4,324,396		0.1%
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		4,691,264		1.9%		8,643		Less than 0.1%

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 (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, are recorded on the 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. Loan consent fees, upfront origination fees and/or amendment fees are recorded when received and included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium, if applicable. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as income. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. 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, if any, 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. 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.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the amount of income available to be distributed has been reduced by the following amounts as a result of losses arising from changes in exchange rates:


Bond Fund	$	1,388,164
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		31,487

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. A Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts, to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 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 Fund’s or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts. Forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

e. Futures Contracts. A Fund 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. Daily fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable (payable) 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 outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

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. When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions. A 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 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.

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.

There were no when-issued or delayed delivery securities held by the Funds as of December 31, 2021.

g. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2021 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

December 31, 2021

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 that have been or are expected to be reclaimed and paid. 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 are expected to be filed and paid 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.

h. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the 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 defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, premium amortization, convertible bonds, return of capital distributions received, capital gain distributions received, futures and forward foreign currency contract mark-to-market, and paydown gains and losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income and net realized gains 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, wash sales, defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, return of capital distributions received, trust preferred securities, corporate actions, capital gain distributions received, foreign currency gains and losses, premium amortization, convertible bonds and futures and forward foreign currency contract 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 net realized short-term capital gains are reported as 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 December 31, 2021 and period ended December 31, 2020 was as follows:


	2021 Distributions						2020 Distributions
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total		Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
Bond Fund	$	230,423,598	$	—	$	230,423,598	$	109,153,682	$	35,454,933	$	144,608,615
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		6,166,342		8,037,009		14,203,351		2,831,850		7,337,537		10,169,387

Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed in per-share amounts, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.

As of December 31, 2021, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


	Bond Fund			Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund
Undistributed ordinary income	$	638,051		$	35,519

As of December 31, 2021, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as a component of distributable earnings was as follows:


	Bond Fund			Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
Investments	$	201,566,903		$	7,365,801
Foreign currency translations		(419,254	)		7,241

Total unrealized appreciation	$	201,147,649		$	7,373,042

As of December 31, 2021, the tax cost of investments (including derivatives, if applicable) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a federal tax basis were as follows:


	Bond Fund			Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund
Federal tax cost	$	7,319,763,569		$	234,724,065

Gross tax appreciation	$	416,239,846		$	10,987,052
Gross tax depreciation		(214,511,619	)		(3,607,691	)

Net tax appreciation	$	201,728,227		$	7,379,361

The difference between these amounts and those reported in the preceding table, if any, are primarily attributable to foreign currency mark-to-market.

i. Senior Loans. A Fund’s investment in senior loans may be to corporate, governmental or other borrowers. Senior loans, which include both secured and unsecured loans made by banks and other financial institutions to corporate customers, typically hold the most senior position in a borrower’s capital structure, may be secured by the borrower’s assets and have interest rates that reset frequently. Senior Loans can include term loans, revolving credit facility loans and second lien loans. A senior 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 senior loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Large loans may be shared or syndicated among several lenders. A Fund may enter into the primary syndicate for a loan or it may also purchase all or a portion of loans from other lenders (sometimes referred to as loan assignments), in either case becoming a direct lender. The settlement period for senior loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Senior loans outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

j. Collateralized Loan Obligations. A Fund may invest in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). A CLO is a type of asset-backed security designed to redirect the cash flows from a pool of leveraged loans to investors based on their risk preferences. Cash flows from a CLO are split into two or more portions, called tranches, varying in risk and yield. The risk of an investment in a CLO depends largely on the type of the collateralized securities and the class of the instrument in which the Fund invests. The intent of the Funds when investing in CLOs is to purchase only higher level, investment grade level select tranches. CLOs outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

k. 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 December 31, 2021, 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.

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

53 |

Notes to Financial Statements – continued

December 31, 2021

the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, neither Fund had loaned securities under this agreement.

m. Due from Brokers. Transactions and positions in certain forward foreign currency contracts are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between the Funds and the various broker/dealers. The due from broker balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Bond Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts. In certain circumstances the Funds’ use of cash held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

n. 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.

o. New Accounting Pronouncement. In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2021-01”). ASU 2021-01 is an update of ASU 2020-04, which was issued in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), expected to occur no later than June 30, 2023. Regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 amendments offer optional expedients for contract modifications that would allow an entity to account for such modifications by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate, instead of evaluating each contract, in accordance with existing accounting standards, as to whether reference rate modifications constitute the establishment of new contracts or the continuation of existing contracts. ASU 2021-01 clarifies that certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. The amendments are currently effective and an entity may elect to apply its provisions as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. Management expects to apply the optional expedients when appropriate.

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. The Funds’ adviser may use internally developed models to validate broker-dealer bid prices that are only available from a single broker or market maker. Such securities are considered and classified as fair valued. 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. 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.

(a) Includes a security fair valued at zero by the Fund’s adviser using Level 3 inputs.

A debt security valued at $1,205,500 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, this security was valued using broker-dealer bid prices based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service did not provide a reliable price for the security. At December 31, 2021, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

Debt securities valued at $135,840 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the period ended December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, these securities were valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies. At December 31, 2021, these securities were valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s adviser as an independent pricing service was unable to price the securities.

Debt securities valued at $4,922,750 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the period ended December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, these securities were valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

December 31, 2021

The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Funds’ holdings of foreign securities. The Funds may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the Funds. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Funds engaged in forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Funds’ investments in fixed-income securities. 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 duration without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. The Funds may also use futures contracts to gain investment exposure. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Funds used futures contracts to manage duration.

The following is a summary of derivative instruments for Bond Fund as of December 31, 2021, as reflected within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

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 forward foreign currency contract and futures contract activity, as a percentage of net assets for the Funds, based on gross month-end or daily (as applicable) notional amounts outstanding during the period, including long and short positions at absolute value, was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2021:


Bond Fund	Forwards		Futures
Average Notional Amount Outstanding		0.32%		22.12%
Highest Notional Amount Outstanding		0.84%		34.60%
Lowest Notional Amount Outstanding		0.00%		13.60%
Notional Amount Outstanding as of December 31, 2021		0.27%		21.09%


Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund	Forwards		Futures
Average Notional Amount Outstanding		0.31%		8.84%
Highest Notional Amount Outstanding		0.78%		14.20%
Lowest Notional Amount Outstanding		0.00%		0.91%
Notional Amount Outstanding as of December 31, 2021		0.25%		12.99%

Unrealized gain and/or loss on open forwards and futures is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The aggregate notional values of forward and futures contracts are not recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and therefore are not included in the Funds’ net assets.

Notional amounts outstanding at the end of the prior period, if applicable, are included in the average notional amount outstanding.

Over-the-counter derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, 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

59 |

Notes to Financial Statements – continued

December 31, 2021

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 December 31, 2021, 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:

Bond Fund


Counterparty	Gross Amounts of Liabilities			Offset Amount		Net Liability Balance			Collateral (Received)/ Pledged		Net Amount
Bank of America, N.A.	$	(380,188	)	$	—	$	(380,188	)	$	340,000	$	(40,188	)

Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund



Counterparty	Gross Amounts of Liabilities			Offset Amount		Net Liability Balance			Collateral (Received)/ Pledged		Net Amount
Bank of America, N.A.	$	(11,323	)	$	—	$	(11,323	)	$	—	$	(11,323	)

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 clearing house, 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 typically are required to segregate customer margin for exchange-traded derivatives 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 customers, 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 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 Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of December 31, 2021:


Fund	Maximum Amount of Loss — Gross		Maximum Amount of Loss — Net
Bond Fund	$	77,238,299	$	76,898,299
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		752,670		752,670

5. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the year ended December 31, 2021, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and including paydowns) were as follows:


	U.S. Government/Agency Securities				Other Securities
Fund	Purchases		Sales		Purchases		Sales
Bond Fund	$	1,230,755,164	$	1,828,819,200	$	5,530,957,125	$	5,494,108,194

6. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

a. Management Fees. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to each Fund. Loomis Sayles is a limited partnership whose sole general partner, Loomis, Sayles & Company, Inc., is indirectly owned by Natixis Investment Managers, LLC, which is part of Natixis Investment Managers, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.

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:


	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Fund	First $3 Billion		Next $12 Billion		Next $10 Billion		Over $25 Billion
Bond Fund		0.60%		0.50%		0.49%		0.48%
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		0.40%		0.40%		0.40%		0.40%

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 April 30, 2022, 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, are net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings. Waivers/reimbursements that exceed management fees payable are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable from investment adviser.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreements were as follows:


	Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Fund	Institutional Class		Retail Class		Admin Class		Class N
Bond Fund		0.67%		0.92%		1.17%		0.62%
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		0.55%		—		—		—

Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses borne under the expense limitation agreements (whether through waiver of 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 both (1) a class’ expense limitation ratio in place at the time such amounts were waived/reimbursed and (2) a class’ current applicable expense limitation ratio, 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 year ended December 31, 2021, the management fees for each Fund were as follows:


Fund	Gross Management Fees		Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Bond Fund	$	43,664,934		0.54%
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		1,011,413		0.40%

For the year ended December 31, 2021, class-specific expenses have been reimbursed as follows:

¹Expense reimbursements are subject to possible recovery until December 31, 2022.

No expenses were recovered for either Fund during the year ended December 31, 2021 under the terms of the expense limitation agreements.

b. Service and Distribution Fees. Natixis Distribution, LLC (“Natixis Distribution”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis Investment Managers, LLC, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trust.

December 31, 2021

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, Bond Fund 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, Bond Fund pays Natixis 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 Natixis Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Retail Class shares or for payments made by Natixis 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, Bond Fund pays Natixis 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 Natixis Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by Natixis 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 Bond Fund may pay Natixis 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 year ended December 31, 2021, the service and distribution fees for Bond Fund were as follows:


	Service Fees		Distribution Fees
Fund	Admin Class		Retail Class		Admin Class
Bond Fund	$	108,182	$	3,332,122	$	116,282

For the year ended December 31, 2021, Natixis Distribution refunded Bond Fund $8,101 of prior year Admin Class service fees paid to Natixis 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 these amounts.

c. Administrative Fees. Natixis Advisors, LLC (“Natixis Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Funds and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, Natixis ETF Trusts and Natixis Advisors, each Fund pays Natixis Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0540% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion, 0.0275% of the next $30 billion and 0.0225% of such assets in excess of $90 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the administrative fees for each Fund were as follows:


Fund	Administrative Fees
Bond Fund	$	3,495,708
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		107,559

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis 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 Natixis Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to Natixis 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 year ended December 31, 2021, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations) for Bond Fund were $4,929,030.

As of December 31, 2021, Bond Fund owes Natixis Distribution $57,409 in reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statements 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 Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distribution, Natixis Investment Managers, LLC or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $369,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that he attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $199,000. 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, the chairperson of the Audit Committee and the chairperson of the Governance Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $20,000. 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF 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.

Effective January 1, 2022, each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) will receive, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $210,000. All other Trustees fees will remain unchanged.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF 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.

Certain officers and employees of Natixis Advisors and Loomis Sayles are also officers and/or Trustees of the Trust.

f. Affiliated Ownership. As of December 31, 2021, Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held shares of Bond Fund representing 0.44% of the Fund’s net assets.

Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Fund.

g. Affiliated Transactions. As a result of a business restructuring, Bond Fund received common shares of Lonestar Resources U.S., Inc. (the “Company”) constituting more than 5% of the voting securities of the Company. As such, the Company was considered to be an affiliate at December 31, 2020. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company, through a tax free combination, was merged into another entity and is no longer considered an affiliate. The cost basis of the Fund’s Company holding was transferred to the common shares received from the merger and there was no realized gain or loss recognized on the transaction. A summary of affiliated transactions for the year from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, is as follows:


	Beginning Value		Purchase Cost		Sales Proceeds			Accrued Discounts (Premiums)		Realized Gain (Loss)		Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss)		Ending Value		Investment Income
Lonestar Resources U.S., Inc.	$	4,623,706	$	—	$	(4,623,706	)	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

7. Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. Transfer agent fees and expenses for Bond Fund 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.

For year ended December 31, 2021, Bond Fund 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
Bond Fund	$	4,242,120	$	926,642	$	32,317	$	8,667

8. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts, entered into a $500,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $500,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. 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.

December 31, 2021

The Funds paid certain legal fees in connection with the line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected in legal fees on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Prior to April 8, 2021, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts, entered into a $400,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (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 and its contractual obligations under the line of credit.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, neither Fund had borrowings under this agreement.

9. Payable to Custodian Bank. The Fund’s custodian bank, State Street Bank, provides overdraft protection to the Fund in the event of a cash shortfall. Cash overdrafts bear interest at a rate periodically determined by State Street Bank. At December 31, 2021, Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund had a payable of $595,664 to the custodian bank for an overdraft.

10. Risk. Global markets have experienced periods of high volatility triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. The impact of this pandemic and any other epidemic or pandemic that may arise in the future could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy and the financial performance of individual issuers, sectors, industries, asset classes, and markets in significant and unforeseen ways. Such effects could impair the Funds’ ability to maintain operational standards, disrupt the operations of the Funds’ service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.

11. 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 December 31, 2021, 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
Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund		11		84.12%

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which Natixis 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 Fund does 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.

12. Capital Shares. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Loomis Sayles Funds I and Shareholders of Loomis Sayles Bond Fund and Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Loomis Sayles Bond Fund and Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund (two of the funds constituting Loomis Sayles Funds I, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2021, the three month period ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended September 30, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2021, the three month period ended December 31, 2020 and for each of the four years in the period ended September 30, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, the changes in each of their net assets for the year ended December 31, 2021, the three month period ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended September 30, 2020, and each of the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2021, the three month period ended December 31, 2020 and for each of the four years in the period ended September 30, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
