UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and 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 class of Fund shares shows the actual account values and actual Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from December 1, 2020 through May 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 = 8.60) 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 each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line in the table of each Fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement and, with respect to Vaughan Nelson Select Fund, sub-advisory agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”), at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements, typically for an additional one-year period. This meeting typically includes all the Independent Trustees, including the Trustees who do not serve on the Contract Review Committee. After the Contract Review Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements at its June Board meeting.

In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Funds’ investment advisers and sub-adviser, as applicable (collectively, the “Advisers”), believe to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreements. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Funds and the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory fees and sub-advisory fees, if any, and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory fees to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Advisers, if any, and to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense limitations and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Advisers and (v) information obtained through the completion by the Advisers of a questionnaire distributed on behalf of the Trustees. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considers other matters such as (i) each Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Advisers’ respective investment staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (ii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (iii) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including, to the extent applicable, the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research and other similar services, (iv) each Adviser’s policies and procedures relating to, among other things, compliance, trading and best execution, proxy voting, liquidity and valuation, (v) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (vi) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Advisers.

In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their annual consideration of the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board that provide detailed information about the Funds’ investment performance and the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing each Fund’s performance and expense differentials against each Fund’s peer group/category of funds where available, performance ratings provided by a third-party, total return information for various periods, and third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing a Fund against similarly categorized funds. The portfolio management team for each Fund or other representatives of the Advisers make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and Funds identified as presenting possible performance concerns may be subject to more frequent Board or Committee presentations and reviews. In addition, the Trustees are periodically provided with detailed statistical information about each Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings, both at the Board and at the Committee level.

The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements for a one-year period at its meeting held in June 2021. In the case of Vaughan Nelson Select Fund, the Board approved the Fund’s Agreement with an amendment that reduced the Fund’s advisory fee effective July 1, 2021. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisers and their affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Advisers and their affiliates. The Trustees also considered their experience with other funds advised or sub-advised by the Advisers, as well as the affiliation between the Advisers and Natixis Investment Managers, LLC, whose affiliates provide investment advisory services to other funds in the Natixis family of funds.

The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Advisers to the Funds, but also the benefits to the Funds from the monitoring and oversight services provided by Natixis Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”). They also considered the administrative and shareholder services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds. They also took into consideration increases in the services provided resulting from new regulatory requirements.

For each Fund, the Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is part of a family of funds that offers shareholders the right to exchange shares of one type of fund for shares of another type of fund, and provides a variety of fund and shareholder services.

7 |

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Investment performance of the Funds and the Advisers. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information that compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups and categories of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.

The Board noted that, through December 31, 2020, each Fund’s one-, three- and five-year performance, as applicable, stated as percentile rankings within categories selected by the independent third-party data provider, was as follows (where the best performance would be in the first percentile of its category):


	One-Year			Three-Year			Five-Year
Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund		13	%		16	%		N/A
Vaughan Nelson Select Fund		32	%		37	%		40	%
Loomis Sayles Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund		58	%		82	%		29	%

In the case of the Loomis Sayles Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund that had performance that lagged that of a relevant category median as determined by the independent third-party for certain periods, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements. These factors included the following: (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; (2) that the Fund’s more recent performance (i.e., for periods ending March 31, 2021) had shown improvement relative to its category; and (3) that the Fund’s longer-term performance was strong. The Board also considered information about the Funds’ more recent performance, including how that performance had been impacted by the Covid-19 crisis.

The Trustees also considered each Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Advisers to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Advisers to take steps intended to improve performance.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the performance of the Funds and the Advisers and/or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreements.

The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their respective relationships with the Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory, sub-advisory and administrative services, as applicable, as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and by an independent third party) of the Funds’ advisory fees and total expense levels to those of their peer groups and information about the advisory fees charged by the Advisers to comparable accounts (such as institutional separate accounts), as well as information about differences in such fees and the reasons for any such differences. In considering the fees charged to comparable accounts, the Trustees considered, among other things, management’s representations about the differences between managing mutual funds as compared to other types of accounts, including the additional resources required to effectively manage mutual fund assets, the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of such assets, and the entrepreneurial, regulatory and other risks associated with sponsoring and managing mutual funds. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees, as applicable, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of such Fund and the need for the Advisers to offer competitive compensation and the potential need to expend additional resources to the extent the Fund grows in size. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had demonstrated its intention to have competitive fee levels by making recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense limitations for various funds in the fund family. They noted that the Funds have expense limitations in place, and they considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Advisers for the Funds under their expense limitation agreements. The Trustees further noted that management had proposed to reduce the expense limitation for Vaughan Nelson Select Fund on all share classes, effective July 1, 2021. They also noted that management had proposed to reduce the advisory fee rate for Vaughan Nelson Select Fund, effective July 1, 2021.

The Trustees noted that each of Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund and Vaughan Nelson Select Fund had a total advisory fee rate that was above the median of a peer group of funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered the factors that management believed justified such relatively higher advisory fee rates, including: (1) that management had proposed to reduce the advisory fee rate and expense limitation of the Vaughan Nelson Select Fund; (2) that the advisory fee was only one basis point higher than the median of a

peer group of funds for Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund; and (3) that the advisory fee rate of the Loomis Sayles Global Growth

| 8

Fund had been reduced effective December 15, 2020 and the comparison against the peer group did not reflect the full impact of that reduction.

The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Advisers’ and their affiliates’ relationships with the Funds, and information about how expenses are determined and allocated for purposes of profitability calculations. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability, including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser compensation or profitability were issues, the performance of the relevant Funds, the expense levels of the Funds, whether the Advisers had implemented breakpoints and/or expense limitations with respect to such Funds and the overall profit margin of Natixis Investment Managers, LLC compared to that of certain other investment managers for which such data was available.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fees charged to each of the Funds were fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Advisers and their affiliates in respect of their relationships with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Advisers and whether those economies are shared with the Funds through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense limitations. The Trustees also considered management’s explanation of the factors that are taken into account with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense limitations. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that although the Funds’ management fees were not subject to breakpoints, each Fund was subject to an expense limitation. The Trustees also considered management’s proposal to reduce the expense limitation for Vaughan Nelson Select Fund. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and on a relative basis) and the profitability to the Advisers and their affiliates of their relationships with the Funds, as discussed above. The Trustees also considered that the Funds have benefitted from the substantial reinvestment each Adviser has made into its business.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

•

The effect of recent market and economic events, including but not limited to the Covid-19 crisis and its significant disruptions to the economy and business operations, on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund.

•

Whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Advisers. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their affiliates were providing to the Funds.

•

So-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution and administrative services to the Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Advisers by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the benefits to the parent company of Natixis Advisors from the retention of the Adviser. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest.

•

The Trustees’ review and discussion of the Funds’ advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years.

Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that each of the existing Agreements, reflecting the reduction in the advisory fee for Vaughan Nelson Select Fund described above, should be continued through June 30, 2022.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Annual Report for the Period Commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2020

(including updates through May 31, 2021)

Effective December 1, 2018, the Funds adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Rule”). The Rule requires registered open-end funds, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to establish liquidity risk management programs in order to effectively manage fund liquidity and mitigate the risk that a fund could not meet redemption requests without significantly diluting the interests of remaining investors.

The rule requires the Funds to assess, manage and review their liquidity risk considering applicable factors during normal and foreseeable stressed conditions. In fulfilling this requirement, each Fund assesses and reviews (where applicable and amongst other matters) its investment strategy, portfolio holdings, possible investment concentrations, use of derivatives, short-term and long-term cash flow projections, use of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources. Each Program has established a Program Administrator (“Administrator”) which is the adviser or sub-adviser of the Fund.

In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.

Each Fund is prohibited from acquiring an investment if, after the acquisition, its holdings of illiquid assets will exceed 15% of its net assets. If a Fund does not hold a majority of highly liquid investments in its portfolio, then the Fund is required to establish a highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”). The Loomis Sayles Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund has established an HLIM.

During the period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, there were no material changes to the Programs and no material events that impacted the operation of the Funds’ Programs. During the period, the Funds held sufficient liquid assets to meet redemptions on a timely basis and did not have any HLIM or illiquid security violations.

During the period January 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021, the Funds held sufficient liquid assets to meet redemptions on a timely basis and did not have any HLIM or illiquid security violations.

Annual Program Assessment and Conclusion

In the opinion of the Program Administrators, the Program of each Fund approved by the Funds’ Board is operating effectively. The Program Administrators have also monitored, assessed and managed each Fund’s liquidity risk regularly throughout the period.

Pursuant to the Rule’s requirements, the Board has received and reviewed a written report prepared by each Fund’s Program Administrator that addressed the operation of the Programs, assessed their adequacy and effectiveness and described any material changes made to the Programs.

Notes to Financial Statements

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

1. Organization. Natixis Funds Trust II (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 Global Growth Fund (the “Global Growth Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund (the “Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund”)

Vaughan Nelson Select Fund (the “Select Fund”)

Global Growth Fund and Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund are diversified investment companies. Select Fund is a non-diversified investment company.

Each Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Global Growth Fund and Select Fund and 3.50% for Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for eight years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares) (prior to May 1, 2021, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares after ten years) and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Class Y shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $100,000. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N and Class Y 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 Class A and Class C), and transfer agent fees are borne collectively for Class A, Class C and Class Y, 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 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 or sub-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 or sub-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 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. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and senior

| 38

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

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. Domestic exchange-traded index and single name equity option contracts (including options on exchange-traded funds) are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations as determined by the Options Price Reporting Authority.

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 or sub-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 May 31, 2021, securities held by the Funds were fair valued as follows:

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, is 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. Dividends reinvested and stock dividends are reflected as non-cash dividends on the Statements of Operations. 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. For payment-in-kind securities, income received in-kind is reflected as an increase to the principal and cost basis of the securities. 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 or eliminate 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

39 |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

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. Option Contracts. Select Fund may enter into option contracts. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying instrument or index to determine the realized gain or loss. If the 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 options is limited to the premium paid.

When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Net premiums received for written options which expire are treated as realized gains. Net premiums received for written options which are exercised are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying instrument or index to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including commissions, is treated as a realized gain or, if the net premium received is less than the amount paid, as a realized loss. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option.

Exchange-traded option contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risk to the Fund is reduced.

There were no option contracts held by the Fund as of May 31, 2021.

e. 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 May 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 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 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.

f. 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 foreign currency gains and losses, partnership basis adjustments, premium amortization, paydown gains and losses, defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, deferred Trustees’ fees, net operating losses, capital gain distribution received and return of capital distributions received. 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 premium amortization, defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, partnership basis adjustments, dividends payable, foreign currency gains and losses, net operating losses, paydown gains and losses, capital gain distribution received and return of capital distributions received. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be

| 40

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

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 November 30, 2020 was as follows:


	2020 Distributions
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
Global Growth Fund	$	129,775	$	3,808,266	$	3,938,041
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund		82,661,974		—		82,661,974
Select Fund		2,839,145		15,303,932		18,143,077

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 November 30, 2020, capital loss carryforwards were as follows:


	Global Growth Fund		Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund			Select Fund
Capital loss carryforward:
Short-term:
No expiration date	$	—	$	(117,719,314	)	$	—
Long-term:
No expiration date		—		(384,322,768	)		—

Total capital loss carryforward	$	—	$	(502,042,082	)	$	—

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


	Global Growth Fund			Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund			Select Fund
Federal tax cost	$	91,871,171		$	1,515,059,539		$	162,327,444

Gross tax appreciation	$	33,561,592		$	33,782,608		$	41,938,644
Gross tax depreciation		(98,693	)		(33,144,035	)		(1,228,512	)

Net tax appreciation	$	33,462,899		$	638,573		$	40,710,132

Amounts in the table above exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes. Adjustments may include, but are not limited to, wash sales.

g. Senior Loans. Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund may invest in senior loans 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. The Fund may

41 |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

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 are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

h. 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 May 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.

i. Unfunded Loan Commitments. Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding at the option of the borrower. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation, in full, even though a percentage of the committed amount may not be utilized by the borrower. Unfunded loan commitments, and the obligation for future funding, are recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at par value at the time the commitment is entered into. Purchases of unfunded loan commitments may have a similar effect on the Fund’s NAV as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in the portfolio. Market risk exists with these commitments to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the unfunded loan commitments.

As of May 31, 2021, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to loan agreements with the following borrowers:


Borrower	Type	Principal Amount
Constant Contact, Inc.	Delayed Draw Term Loan	$	1,142,471
HighTower Holdings LLC	2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan		698,200
National Mentor Holdings, Inc.	2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan		584,668
Redstone Buyer LLC	2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan		1,237,677
Service Logic Acquisition, Inc	Delayed Draw Term Loan		837,313
Southern Veterinary Partners LLC	Delayed Draw Term Loan		441,333
TricorBraun Holdings, Inc.	2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan		852,028

		$	5,793,690

Under the terms of the contract, the Fund has the option to assign (sell) all or a portion of the unfunded loan commitment. Upon the completion of such assignment, the Fund is released from its rights and obligations pertaining to the portion of the unfunded loan commitment assigned. When the Fund sells a portion of an unfunded loan commitment, the portion sold is removed from the Portfolio of Investments and the unsettled amount is reflected as unfunded loan commitments sold on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until settlement date. Once settled, the portion of the unfunded loan commitment assigned is relieved from the Fund’s unfunded loan commitments liability.

j. 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.

k. New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is 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 2020-04 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. No Fund contracts have yet been impacted by reference rate reform. 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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of May 31, 2021, at value:

	Service Fees				Distribution Fees
Fund	Class A		Class C		Class C

Select Fund		18,447		7,074		21,223

c. Administrative Fees. Natixis Advisors provides certain administrative services for the Funds and contracts with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“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.

Fund	Administrative Fees
Global Growth Fund	$	25,505
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund		275,743
Select Fund		42,346

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 six months ended May 31, 2021, 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 Growth Fund	$	32,878
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund		431,073
Select Fund		18,933

As of May 31, 2021, the Funds owe Natixis 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 Growth Fund	$	780
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund		28,331
Select Fund		1,041

47 |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y 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. Commissions. Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by Natixis Distribution during the six months ended May 31, 2021 were as follows:


Fund	Commissions
Global Growth Fund	$	1,562
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund		6,419
Select Fund		242

f. 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 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.

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.

g. Affiliated Ownership. As of May 31, 2021, Natixis and affiliates and Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”) held shares of the Funds representing the following percentages of the Funds’ net assets:


Fund	Natixis			Retirement Plan
Global Growth Fund		10.08	%		—
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund		—			0.57	%
Select Fund		Less than 1	%		—

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

h. Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. Natixis Advisors has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Funds to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for the Funds’ Class N shares. This undertaking is in effect through March 31, 2022 and is not subject to recovery under the expense limitation agreement described above.

For the six months ended May 31, 2021, Natixis Advisors reimbursed the Funds for transfer agency expenses as follows:


Fund	Reimbursement of Transfer Agency Expenses Class N
Global Growth Fund	$	747
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund		732
Select Fund		722

6. Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses. Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y 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.

For the six months ended May 31, 2021, 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	Class A		Class C		Class N		Class Y
Global Growth Fund	$	2,038	$	481	$	747	$	33,217
Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund		75,047		43,784		732		357,600
Select Fund		1,790		687		722		21,554

7. Line of Credit. Global Growth Fund and Select 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and certain other 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 and/or miscellaneous expenses 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, Global Growth Fund and Select 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 six months ended May 31, 2021, Select Fund had an average daily balance on the line of credit (for those days on which there were borrowings) of $13,420,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.13%. Interest expense incurred on the line of credit was $2,111.

Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund has entered into a syndicated, committed, secured line of credit with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (the “Administrative Agent”), the Bank of Nova Scotia, Houston Branch, National Australia Bank Limited and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, New York Branch (each a “Lender” and together with the Administrative Agent “Lenders”) under which it may borrow for investment or liquidity purposes. The commitment of the Lenders to make loans to the Fund shall not exceed $500,000,000 at any one time. Under the terms of the agreement, the Lenders are entitled to a security interest in the assets of the Fund as collateral. Interest is charged to the Fund based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.500% per annum payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender is accrued by the Fund based on the unused portion of the line of credit. The Fund paid the Administrative Agent an upfront fee of $625,000 and an administrative agent fee of $25,000, for a total of $650,000, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected in legal fees and/or miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For the six months ended May 31, 2021, Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund had no borrowings under this agreement.

8. Risk. Global Growth Fund’s investments in foreign securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit/counterparty and information risks. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities also are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and other foreign currency-related risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity.

Select Fund is non-diversified, which means that it is not limited under the 1940 Act to a percentage of assets that it may invest in any one issuer. Because the Fund may invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers, an investment in the Fund may involve a higher degree of risk than would be present in a diversified portfolio.

The senior loans in which Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund expects to invest will generally not be rated investment grade by the rating agencies. Economic downturns generally increase non-payment rates and a senior loan could lose a substantial part of its value prior to default. Senior loans are subject to credit risk, and secured loans may not be adequately collateralized. The interest rates of senior loans reset

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

May 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

frequently, and thus senior loans are subject to interest rate risk (including risks associated with the expected transition away from LIBOR at the end of 2021). There may also be less public information available about senior loans as compared to other debt securities.

Senior loans are generally less liquid than many other debt securities. Transactions in senior loans may settle on a delayed basis, such that the Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a substantial period of time (greater than seven days) after the sale. As a result, the proceeds related to the sale of senior loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet the Fund’s redemption obligations until substantial period (greater than seven days) after the sale of the loans.

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.

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 May 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% Non-Affiliated Account Holders		Percentage of Non-Affiliated Ownership			Percentage of Affiliated Ownership Ownership (Note 5g)			Total Percentage of Ownership
Global Growth Fund		3		36.65	%		10.08	%		46.73	%
Select Fund		3		45.03	%		Less than 1	%		45.03	%

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 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:
