PORTFOLIO REVIEW

After finishing 2009 on a strong note, the stock market started off slowly in 2010, with investors digesting the extraordinary gains of the previous year while wondering whether signs of improved economic activity were sustainable. March data revealed a brighter employment picture, increased manufacturing activity and greater stability in housing—and the market responded accordingly. Strong fourth-quarter returns, combined with solid gains in March, led to solid six-month returns for all segments of the stock market.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund returned 15.37%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 12.07% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

The fund’s outperformance was due primarily to a shift in investor focus to the type of companies we favor, particularly during the fourth quarter of 2009: companies with strong competitive positions that can sustain growth well into the future. Additionally, the fund’s performance benefited from strong stock selection across a diverse group of sectors, including healthcare, consumer discretionary, producer durables and energy.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

Our healthcare holdings were the greatest contributors to performance. Leading stocks included Incyte, a biotechnology company, which signed large partnerships for two of its drugs, and SXC Health Solutions, a pharmacy benefit management services and healthcare IT company, which reported strong fourth-quarter results. Our position in IMAX, the leader in 3-D movies, led performance in the consumer discretionary sector, while Bucyrus International, an industrial, construction and mining company, reported better-than-expected earnings and drove results in producer durables.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

Stock selection in the technology, materials and utilities sectors had a negative impact on the fund’s relative performance. Brocade, a provider of switching solutions for storage area networks, was among the largest detractors, after missing earnings estimates and issuing lower-than-expected guidance. We reduced the fund’s technology weight, primarily due to weak prospects for growth among specific communication equipment and software companies. Nevertheless, technology remains the fund’s largest sector weight.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

We believe the stock market has the potential to produce positive returns over the next 12 months, although overall gains may be modest and interrupted by periodic reversals. Corporate cost-cutting programs have been responsible for most of the earnings growth that has occurred up until now. We believe the economy has stabilized, setting the stage for revenue improvements that can drive future profit growth. However, improved earnings also can trigger talk of higher interest rates, which, in turn, could restrain overall market performance.

LOGO

Data quoted reflects past performance and cannot guarantee future results. Average annual total returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For performance current to the most recent month end, please visit www.loomissayles.com. Current performance may be higher or lower than quoted.

 

Returns do not reflect the taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. Periods of less than one year are not annualized. Performance data reflects certain fee reductions and reimbursements, if any, without which performance would be lower.

 

(a) Cumulative performance is shown for the institutional class of shares. Performance of the retail class would be lower due to higher fees. (b) The mountain chart is based on the initial investment minimum of $100,000 for the institutional class. (c) See page 5 for a description of the indices.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than larger, more established companies. The secondary market for these stocks may be less liquid, which could adversely impact the fund’s value. Growth funds involve increased risks, in part, because the value of the underlying securities is based on future expectations that may or may not be met.

 

The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a fund’s investments to decline. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

After finishing 2009 on a strong note, the stock market started off slowly in 2010, as investors digested the extraordinary gains of the previous year while wondering whether improved economic activity was sustainable. March data revealed a brighter employment picture, increased manufacturing activity and greater stability in housing—and the market responded accordingly. Strong fourth-quarter returns, combined with solid gains in March, led to solid six-month returns for all segments of the stock market.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund returned 9.74%. The fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, which returned 14.01% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S UNDERPERFORMANCE?

The fund underperformed its benchmark because of its focus on higher-quality stocks, which underperformed lower-quality stocks during the first quarter of 2010. In general, the small-cap market was led by low-priced stocks, the smallest market caps and low-quality companies.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

In 2009, we made several additions to the portfolio early in the market recovery, emphasizing smaller-cap and more cyclical stocks poised for a recovery. These changes helped limit the negative impact of the low-quality rally in 2009. However, we backed off the strategy late last year and early in 2010, as better fundamentals emerged. Hence, we were surprised that low-quality stocks, a segment of the market that typically does not match up well with our strategy, continued to lead the market in 2010. Stock selection in the healthcare sector contributed positively. Perrigo, a store-brand over-the-counter pharmaceutical provider, was one of the fund’s top performers.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

Stock selection was negative during the period, with the financial services, materials and processing and technology sectors detracting the most. In particular, our holdings among high-quality banks and non-credit-sensitive transaction processors did not keep pace with the index return of the financial services sector overall.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

We believe the stock market has the potential to produce positive returns over the next 12 months, although overall gains may be modest and interrupted by periodic reversals. Corporate cost-cutting programs have been responsible for most of the earnings growth that has occurred up until now. We believe the economy has stabilized, setting the stage for revenue improvements that can drive future profit growth. However, improved earnings also can trigger talk of higher interest rates, which, in turn, could restrain overall market performance.

(a) Prior to the inception of retail class shares (12/31/96) and admin class shares (1/2/98), performance is that of institutional class shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses of the retail class shares and admin class shares, respectively. Since index performance data is not available coincident with the fund’s inception date, the beginning value of the index is the value as of the month end closest to the Fund’s inception date. (b) The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index performance data is not available prior to January 1, 1992. (c) See page 5 for a description of the Indices. (d) Cumulative performance is shown for the institutional class of shares. Performance of the retail and admin classes would be lower due to higher fees and expenses. (e) The mountain chart is based on the initial investment minimum of $100,000 for the institutional class.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

 

Value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall equity market during any given period. Small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than larger, more established companies. The secondary market for these stocks may be less liquid, which could adversely impact the Fund’s value.

 

The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a fund’s investments to decline. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.

 

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

 

As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and certain exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in the funds’ prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The first line in the table of each fund shows the actual amount of fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from October 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During the Period column as shown below for your class.

 

The second line in the table of each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

1.   Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trusts” and each a “Trust”) are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Each Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trusts in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

 

Loomis Sayles Funds I:

Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”)

 

Loomis Sayles Funds II:

Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”)

 

Each Fund offers Institutional Class Shares and Retail Class Shares. In addition, Small Cap Value Fund offers Admin Class Shares.

 

Most expenses of the Trusts can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trusts. Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate dividends from net investment income on each class of shares.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring recognition in the financial statements or additional disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

a.  Valuation. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.

b.  Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

 

c.  Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

 

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

 

Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

 

d.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. Each Trust treats each fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2010 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

A Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable.

 

e.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as distribution redesignation and net operating losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustment, deferred Trustees’ fees and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2009 was as follows:

 

     2009 Distributions Paid From:

Fund

   Ordinary
Income
   Long-Term
Capital Gains

Small Cap Growth Fund

   $    $    $

Small Cap Value Fund

     3,669,309      331,178      4,000,487

 

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, if any, are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

 

As of September 30, 2009, the capital loss carryforwards and post-October losses were as follows:

 

     Small Cap
Growth Fund
     Small Cap

   $ (26,616,006    $ (110,445,559
                 

 

f.  Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

g.  Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds 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.

 

As of March 31, 2010, there were no securities on loan.

 

h.   Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

3.   Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

 

Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

27


Table of Contents

 

 

Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2010, at value:

5.  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

 

a.  Management Fees. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to each Fund.

These undertakings are in effect until January 31, 2011 and will be reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, are net of fee reductions and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreements were as follows:

Table of Contents

 

Under the respective Retail Class Plan, each Fund pays Natixis Distributors a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Funds’ Retail Class shares, as compensation for services provided by Natixis Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Retail Class shares or for payments made by Natixis Distributors to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Retail Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

 

Under the Admin Class Plan, the Small Cap Value Fund pays Natixis Distributors 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 Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by Natixis Distributors to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Admin Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

 

In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Small Cap Value may pay Natixis Distributors 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.

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distributors has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds agreed to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediaries (which generally is a percentage of the value of shares held) not exceeding what the Funds would have paid its transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediaries. Natixis Distributors pays the remainder of the fees.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Funds paid the following sub-transfer agent fees, which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations:

The Funds do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US or their affiliates. Effective January 1, 2010, the Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $80,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000.

Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.

 

Prior to January 1, 2010, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson did not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attended. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also received a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attended in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attended telephonically.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

6.   Class-Specific Expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Funds paid the following class-specific transfer agent fees and expenses (including sub-transfer agent fees):

Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

 

Prior to March 10, 2010, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participated in the line of credit.

From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholders having a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds. As of March 31, 2010, Small Cap Growth Fund had shareholders that held greater than 5% of the fund’s outstanding shares. Such ownership may be beneficially held by individuals or entities other than the owner of record. The number of greater than 5% shareholders and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such ownership was as follows:

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

As attention shifted from economic recovery to economic growth, overdue optimism began to displace lingering economic pessimism among investors. But the transition was far from smooth. Increased anxiety over sovereign debt solvency in the Middle East and Europe, as well as China's lending restrictions, percolated through the global credit markets. In the United States, unsteady economic readings and the risk of financial regulatory reform pushed some market participants into defensive mode. Despite these challenges, liquidity conditions, declining corporate default rates, low short-term interest rates and improving economic trends drove corporate bond prices higher.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Bond Fund returned 9.48%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 1.34% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

Security selection among corporate and high-yield credit and non-U.S. dollar and convertible bonds drove outperformance. Strong corporate earnings and better-than-expected fourth quarter GDP growth buoyed returns for investment-grade industrial, financial and electric utility holdings.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

Despite short periods of muted performance, the high-yield sector garnered the most gains for the fund, led by financial and industrial names. Investments denominated in the Canadian dollar, Indonesian rupiah and Mexican peso benefited from asset and currency appreciation.

 

The equity market rally provided support for convertible bonds, particularly in the auto, pharmaceuticals and technology industries. Our modest exposure to preferred and equity securities also generated positive results.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

There were few areas of weakness during the period. Our slight underweight allocation to investment-grade credit detracted from excess performance, while currency weakness hurt holdings denominated in Icelandic krona and Norwegian krone.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

The fund is positioned to take advantage of a gradual economic recovery and positive fundamental trends. We believe short-term interest rates in the United States will remain low for the foreseeable future, but acknowledge the continuing pressures that the ever-increasing U.S. Treasury issuance will place on longer-term rates. In our opinion, there remains ample opportunity for corporate

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

 

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

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

A technical rally and improving economic conditions caused yield spreads for high-yield and investment-grade bonds to tighten to their narrowest point of the past year. An improving macroeconomic environment and brisk new issuance stoked investor appetite for risk, spurring a rally in the high-yield sector throughout the six-month period. High-yield industrials fared particularly well, with cyclical names outperforming their non-cyclical counterparts. U.S. Treasury securities lagged as investors dug deep into risky assets in their search for yield.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles Fixed Income Fund returned 8.68%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 1.34% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

Tactical security selection and positioning within high-yield and investment-grade industrial securities drove outperformance. High-yield securities in the telecommunication and technology sectors contributed to relative outperformance. Higher-beta, consumer-related issues were the primary sources of excess return in the investment-grade corporate space. Investment-grade financials also posted solid returns during the latter half of the period.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

Convertibles traded up with the equity market and added substantially to performance. Certain technology, auto and pharmaceutical issues were among the top contributors within the sector. Non-U.S. dollar denominated investments were also a major source of positive performance. A rally among oil and industrial materials prices lifted the Canadian dollar, Indonesian rupiah and Mexican peso.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

Our longer-than-benchmark duration detracted from performance as the yield curve steepened. Uncertainty regarding the health of conservatorship mortgage institutions weighed on government-related holdings, and our security selection and long duration stance within the sector caused this position to lag. A small allocation to the Icelandic krona also detracted.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

The fund is positioned to take advantage of a gradual economic recovery and positive fundamental trends. We believe short-term interest rates in the United States will remain low for the foreseeable future, but acknowledge the continuing pressures that the ever-increasing U.S. Treasury issuance will place on longer-term rates.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Recent economic releases support a picture of ongoing global economic recovery. Nevertheless, sovereign difficulties in Southern Europe, Dubai and elsewhere and an unclear regulatory picture in the United States reminded investors of the inherent risks present in over-leveraged economies. Still, lower-quality securities outperformed for the period.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Institutional Class shares of Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund returned 1.69%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index, which returned -1.12% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

In this challenging market, the fund outperformed its benchmark by remaining constructive on sectors that trade on their yield relationship to U.S. Treasuries. In particular, strong security selection among corporate bonds generated excess return.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The fund’s out-of-benchmark exposure to high-yield and emerging markets was another positive contributor to relative and absolute performance, as investors continued to look for higher-yielding assets. From a currency perspective, our bearish view of the Japanese yen, expressed through our underweight position, contributed positively to performance, as the currency depreciated significantly against the U.S. dollar during the period. Our overweight in the Korean won also helped. Additionally, the Mexican peso posted a strong gain versus the U.S. dollar, fueled by the recovery in energy-related asset prices.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

A steepening yield curve hurt the fund’s relative performance, because the portfolio was positioned with a more aggressive duration in the corporate sector. In addition, our relative overweight in the Norwegian krone dampened relative returns, as the currency weakened against the U.S. dollar. Nevertheless, we continue to view Norway favorably due to its mix of sound fiscal policies and exposure to energy-related resources. In terms of industries, life insurance was among the best absolute performers during the period but was a detractor from relative performance given our underweight in this sector. Similarly, our underweight in the auto sector detracted, albeit on a marginal basis.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

Relative growth momentum currently gives the United States a timing edge for the first major rate hike among the G-4 nations. We expect the recovery to continue to expand this year, but we worry that fiscal headwinds may limit the pace of expansion in 2011. Within the fund, we favor underweighting the G-4 and overweighting the emerging markets and other smaller markets. We have

Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The real yield on 10-year Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) rose from 1.54% at the end of September 2009 to 1.62% at the end of the first quarter of 2010. Conversely, the real yield on five-year TIPS trended significantly downward, from 0.88% to 0.42% during the same six-month period. This steepening of the real yield curve was aided by the Federal Reserve Board, which maintained the federal funds rate target in a range between 0% and 0.25%, fueling expectations that excess liquidity eventually may contribute to incremental increases in inflation.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund returned 2.62%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index, which returned 2.34% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

The fund’s outperformance primarily was due to its shorter-duration TIPS positions and security selection across other sectors. Shorter-duration securities composed the majority of the fund’s TIPS allocation and provided a notable contribution to returns during the period, as inflation expectations began to play out in the market.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

In addition to duration positioning and security selection, rising commodity prices and macroeconomic growth expectations in the United States contributed to favorable returns for our positions denominated in the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso. Additionally, ample new issuance spurred continued spread compression, aiding our high-yield allocations in the industrial, consumer cyclical and communication segments, where security selection contributed notably to performance.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

With the yield curve steepening during the period, our longer duration TIPS weighed on performance. Security selection among consumer non-cyclical names was also a detriment to overall performance. Returns from our preferred shares underperformed; but because of the relatively small size of these allocations, the overall effect was minimal.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

Looking ahead, we believe TIPS should offer defensive positioning in the current market environment, where prolonged low rates, oversupply and a relatively weak U.S. dollar suggest inflation may return to more “normal” levels within the next couple years. Demand for risk likely will remain relatively strong in 2010. Reduced volatility and tighter credit spreads however, may diminish investors’ abilities to achieve excess returns similar to those enjoyed last year, placing a premium on opportunistic allocation.

For illustrative purposes, the chart above reflects the growth of a hypothetical investment of $100,000 in the fund, since its inception. The chart above also reflects the growth of a hypothetical investment in the former primary benchmark of the fund, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index (the “Former Benchmark”), compared to the performance of the fund from the fund’s inception date through December 31, 2004. On December 15, 2004, in connection with a change of the fund’s investment objective, the fund changed its primary benchmark to the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index (the “New Benchmark”). Since index performance data is not available coincident with the date of the fund’s strategy change, comparative data for the fund’s New Benchmark begins on December 31, 2004. The chart above reflects the growth of a hypothetical investment in the New Benchmark, compared to the performance of the fund, from December 31, 2004, through March 31, 2010.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

 

Securities issued by U.S. government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the U.S. government. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of the fund’s investments to decline. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

 

Effective December 15, 2004, the fund’s name and investment strategy changed. The fund’s strategy emphasizes inflation-protected debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury (TIPS). The principal value of these types of securities are periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation and repayment of the original bonds is guaranteed by the U.S. government.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The momentum of the high-yield rally that emerged in early 2009 carried into the first three months of 2010. High-yield credits posted positive returns for the 13th consecutive month. Strong fundamentals and gradually improving economic prospects continued to fuel investors’ appetites for risk, which was met with record new issuance. Yield spreads among high-yield securities continued tightening toward long-term averages as technical strength, improved maturity profiles and cost-cutting initiatives among highly-leveraged companies helped valuations.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles Institutional High Income Fund returned 12.43% . The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, which returned 11.10% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

Security selection accounted for the fund’s outperformance relative to the benchmark.

 

In particular, our out-of-benchmark convertible holdings, including equity-sensitive healthcare and automotive securities, generated the greatest relative returns.

 

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

In addition to positive security selection, high-yield industrial credits also generated strong performance. In terms of quality, securities rated B and Ba were among the leading performers, as investors remained bullish in their reach for yield. In terms of industry, consumer cyclical and non-cyclical, basic industry and communication holdings experienced credit appreciation. These GDP-sensitive industries benefited from positive growth projections and improving consumer sentiment. The fund experienced the greatest non-U.S. dollar-based returns from the Indonesian rupiah, Mexican peso and certain euro-denominated credits.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

Our underweight in high-yield financials detracted from relative performance, but absolute returns were sharply positive. Agency preferred securities experienced absolute return losses due to mounting foreclosures in the housing market. In addition, U.S. Treasury and sovereign credits posted lackluster relative returns, as investors moved away from lower-yielding asset classes.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

The fund is positioned to take advantage of a gradual economic recovery and positive fundamental trends. We believe short-term interest rates in the United States will remain low for the foreseeable future, but acknowledge the continuing pressures that the ever-increasing U.S. Treasury issuance will place on longer-term rates. In our

opinion, there remains ample opportunity for corporate bond yield spreads to tighten further. Within corporate credit, we are advocating a strategy of specific (fundamental credit) risk instead of market (interest rate) risk. We continue to see opportunity in the convertible market and have focused on increasing our exposure. We continue to add opportunistically to non-U.S. dollar denominated securities, with a focus on credits and countries in which we anticipate fundamental improvements will continue to emerge. We believe that in a rising-rate environment, research and security selection will continue to prove key to successful portfolio management.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

While fiscal woes weighed on many developed government markets, an encouraging economic outlook continued to stimulate investor appetite for higher-risk, higher-yielding instruments. The spur of new issuance and strong demand for risk caused corporate spreads to tighten during the six-month period. Corporate and non-agency securitized debt posted solid returns in this environment. By contrast, with risk assets in favor, U.S. Treasury securities lagged during the period.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund returned 4.42%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 1.85% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

Security selection, an overweight in corporate credit and exposure to high-yield and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) drove the fund’s outperformance during the period.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

Within investment-grade credit, our overweight position and security selection among technology and communication names drove results. In addition, strong security selection among high-yield finance, consumer cyclical and technology companies generated excess returns, as credit spreads continued to tighten on steady investor demand. Despite subpar fundamentals in the commercial real estate space, CMBS spreads continued to tighten due to the impact of government support and strong investor demand.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

While our underweight position in the U.S. Treasury sector aided the fund’s relative performance, U.S. Treasury returns, in general, remained depressed due to oversupply and lagging demand. And despite a positive performance contribution, our security selection among investment-grade financials detracted from overall returns, as our allocations to the banking sector lagged the market.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

Looking ahead, we believe the better returns in fixed-income portfolios may come from balancing the challenges of a low-yield environment with the opportunities of an economy that is growing, albeit slowly. In our opinion, this means bulking up portfolios with yield-advantaged strategies where possible, boosting exposure to less market-sensitive sectors or issuers and gradually guarding against a shift upward in rates. In particular, we believe corporate bonds still offer attractive return potential. Fundamentals appear strong, with companies well positioned to generate earnings growth amid low rates, contained costs and improved productivity. Speculative-grade corporates could benefit from these same fundamental trends, but with less interest-rate sensitivity.

 

* Effective on or about May 28, 2010, the fund’s name and investment strategy will change. The fund’s new name will be Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Bond Fund.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

 

If the credit rating of a security held by the fund falls below investment grade, the fund may continue to hold it if Loomis Sayles believes the investment is appropriate. The secondary market for securities that fall below investment grade may lack liquidity and such securities may incur greater risk of default, which may adversely affect the value of the fund. Foreign countries may have different accounting standards than those of the U.S. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the U.S. government. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of the fund’s investments to decline.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Fiscal woes rained on most developed government markets, but a slightly sunnier economic outlook led many investors to move into higher-risk, higher-yielding instruments. The strong demand for risk caused corporate yield spreads to tighten. Corporate and securitized debt posted solid returns in this environment. By contrast, with riskier assets in favor, U.S. Treasury securities lagged during the period.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund returned 6.35% The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 1.34% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

Positioning and security selection were the primary drivers of the fund’s outperformance.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

Within the investment-grade corporate segment, industrials were among the top-performing sectors, driven by prudent security selection in transportation, technology, consumer cyclicals and capital goods. Additionally, non-U.S. dollar denominated issues were leading contributors to fund performance.

 

Declining default rates, strong supply and demand technicals and favorable market conditions benefited high-yield securities during the period, and the fund’s high-yield positioning posted robust returns. Our allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) rallied on persistent government support and increasing investor demand. Exposure to preferred stocks and convertible bonds boosted performance, due to equity market strength.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

Regulatory and political risks abroad and lackluster U.S. economic data contributed to some weakness in returns from non-U.S. dollar and high-yield holdings from late January through mid-February. Overall non U.S. dollar positions benefited the fund; however, some currencies, including the Brazilian real and the Norwegian krone, traded lower during this period. The portfolio’s longer-than-benchmark duration also weighed on returns, as the yield curve shifted throughout the period.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

The fund is positioned to take advantage of a gradual economic recovery and positive fundamental trends. We believe short-term interest rates in the U.S. will remain low for the foreseeable future, but acknowledge the continuing pressures that the ever-increasing U.S. Treasury issuance will place on longer-term rates.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

 

As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other Fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in each Fund’s prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The first line in the table for each Class of Fund shares shows the actual amount of Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from October 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual Fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your Class.

 

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

 

1.   Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. Shares of certain funds in the Trust were first registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) effective March 7, 1997 (subsequent to their commencement of investment operations). 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 Fixed Income Fund (the “Fixed Income Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Global Bond Fund (the “Global Bond Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Inflation Protected Securities Fund (the “Inflation Protected Securities Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Institutional High Income Fund (the “Institutional High Income Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund (the “Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund (the “Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund”)

 

Each Fund offers Institutional Class Shares. Bond Fund and Global Bond Fund also offer Retail Class Shares. In addition, Bond Fund offers Admin Class Shares.

 

Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trust. Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate dividends from net investment income on each class of shares.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring recognition in the financial statements or additional disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements except as disclosed in Note 12.

 

a.  Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at their most recent settlement price. Credit default swaps are valued based on prices supplied by a pricing service, if available, or quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

Table of Contents

 

The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.

 

b.  Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Negative principal adjustments (in the event of deflation) are recorded as reductions of interest income to the extent of interest income earned, not to exceed the amount of positive principal adjustments on a cumulative basis. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class-specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

 

c.  Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

 

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

 

Certain Funds may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

 

d.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund that may invest in foreign investments may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge a Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell may offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash or securities to or from the counterparty as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.

 

e.  Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index (e.g., an interest-bearing security) for a specified price on a specified future date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

 

March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

 

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker as “initial margin” an amount of cash or liquid securities. As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of the collateral held. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.

 

Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures have standardized contracts and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment guaranteed by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are limited.

 

At March 31, 2010, there were no open futures contracts.

 

f.  Swap Agreements. Each Fund may enter into credit default swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties (the “protection buyer” and “protection seller”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer (“reference obligation”) for a specified time period. The reference obligation may be one or more debt securities or an index of such securities. The Funds may be either the protection buyer or the protection seller. The protection buyer is obligated to pay the protection seller a stream of payments (“fees”) over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event, such as a default or a downgrade in credit rating, occurs on the reference obligation. If a credit event occurs, the protection seller must pay the protection buyer the agreed upon notional value (“par value”) of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation (or may pay the difference between the par value and market value of the reference obligation). The Funds may also make upfront payments as the protection buyer or receive upfront payments as the protection seller.

 

The notional amounts of credit default swaps are not recorded in the financial statements. Credit default swaps are marked-to-market daily. Fluctuations in the value of credit default swaps are recorded in the Statement of Operations as change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Fees are accrued in accordance with the terms of the agreement and are recorded in the Statement of Operations as realized gain or loss when received or paid. Upfront fees received or paid by the Funds are amortized or accreted over the term of the agreement and recorded as realized gain or loss. Payments made or received by the Funds as a result of a credit event or termination of the agreement are recorded as realized gain or loss.

 

Credit default swaps are privately negotiated and traded between counterparties and, as such, are subject to the risk that a party to the agreement will not be able to meet its obligations. Counterparty risk is managed through the posting of collateral and, as a result, the risk of loss to a Fund from counterparty default should be limited to the extent a Fund is undercollateralized. In addition to collateral requirements, the Funds also require counterparties to meet minimum credit quality requirements. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding credit default swaps by segregating liquid assets in the form of collateral.

 

At March 31, 2010, there were no open credit default swaps.

 

g.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats each fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2010 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

A Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable, and are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

h.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as foreign currency transactions, defaulted bond adjustments, discount adjustments on inflation-protected securities, paydown gains and losses, premium amortization accruals, dividend redesignations, return of capital and capital gain distributions from REITs. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, premium amortization accruals, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustments, forward contracts mark to market, futures contracts mark to market, defaulted bond interest, REIT basis adjustments and adjustments to inflation-protected securities. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2009 was as follows:

i.  Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the

collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

j.  Delayed Delivery Commitments. Purchases of delayed delivery instruments may have a similar effect on a Fund’s net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. The price of the underlying instruments and the date when they will be paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. If a Fund enters into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents will be maintained in an amount at least equal to the commitment with the custodian and/or broker. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

 

k.  Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds 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.

 

As of March 31, 2010, there were no securities on loan.

 

l.   Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

m. Due to/from Brokers. Transactions and positions in forward foreign currency contracts and credit default swaps are primarily maintained, cleared and held by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between the Fund and the various broker/dealers. Due to/from brokers’ balances in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities represent cash and/or securities received or paid as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts and/or credit default swaps. In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash and/or securities held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

 

3.   Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

 

Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

 

Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

 

March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

 

4.   Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that the Funds currently use include forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and swaps (including credit default swaps).

 

The Funds 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 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 six months ended March 31, 2010, Global Bond Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies, and Inflation Protected Securities Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes.

 

The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Funds’ investments in fixed income securities. The Funds will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that they invest in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Funds may use futures contracts to manage the Funds’ duration in order to control interest rate risk without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund engaged in futures contract transactions during the six months ended March 31, 2010.

 

The Funds are subject to the risk that companies in which the Funds invest will fail financially or otherwise be unwilling or unable to meet their obligations to the Funds. The Funds may use credit default swaps to reduce their credit exposure to issuers of bonds they hold without having to sell the bonds. As a protection buyer, the Funds have the ability to hedge the downside risk of an issuer or group of issuers. As a protection seller, the Funds have the ability to gain exposure to an issuer or group of issuers whose bonds are unavailable or in short supply in the cash bond market, as well as realize additional income in the form of the fees paid by the protection buyer. Global Bond Fund engaged in credit default swap transactions as a protection buyer during the six months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Each Fund is party to agreements with counterparties that govern transactions in forward foreign currency contracts and swap transactions. These agreements contain contingent features that allow the counterparties to terminate open contracts early if the net asset value of a Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. If such contingent features were to be triggered, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of open contracts at current fair value.

c.  Service and Distribution Fees. Natixis Distributors, L.P. (“Natixis Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trust. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distributors serves as principal underwriter of the Funds of the Trust.

 

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Bond Fund and the Global Bond Fund have adopted a Distribution Plan relating to each Fund’s Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plan”), and the Bond Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan relating to its Admin Class shares (the “Admin Class Plan”).

 

Under the respective Retail Class Plan, each Fund pays Natixis Distributors a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Funds’ Retail Class shares, as compensation for services provided by Natixis Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Retail Class shares or for payments made by Natixis Distributors to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Retail Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

 

Under the Admin Class Plan, the Bond Fund pays Natixis Distributors 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 Distributors in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by Natixis Distributors to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Admin Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

 

In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Bond Fund may pay Natixis Distributors an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares. These fees are subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal services and/or account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Funds paid the following service and distribution fees:

 

       Service Fees      Distribution Fees

Fund

     Retail Class      Admin Class      Retail Class      Admin Class

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distributors has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those

customers were registered directly with the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds agreed to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediaries (which generally is a percentage of the value of shares held) not exceeding what the Funds would have paid its transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediaries. Natixis Distributors pays the remainder of the fees.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Funds paid the following sub-transfer agent fees, which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.

e.  Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Funds do not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US or their affiliates. Effective January 1, 2010, the Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $80,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each member of the ad hoc Committee on Alternative Investments received a one-time fee of $10,000. The ad hoc Committee on Alternative Investments is not a standing committee. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.

 

Prior to January 1, 2010, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson did not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attended. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also received a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attended in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attended telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman received an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $10,000.

Each Audit Committee member was compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attended in person and $3,125 for each meeting that he or she attended telephonically.

 

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

f.  Payments by Affiliates. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles reimbursed the Bond Fund and Institutional High Income Fund $111,332 and $2,783, respectively, for losses incurred in connection with a trading error.

8.   Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% 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.

 

Prior to March 10, 2010, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participated in the line of credit. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.

 

9.   Concentration of Risk. Each Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of expropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the prices of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.

 

10.  Concentration of Ownership. At March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles Distributors, L.P. and Loomis Sayles Trust Co. LLC owned 253,748 shares, equal to 17.83% of Inflation Protected Securities Fund’s shares outstanding. At March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles Funded Pension Plan and Trust and Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held shares of beneficial interest in the Funds as follows:

 

Fund

   Pension Plan      Profit Sharing
Retirement Plan

Bond Fund

   $   953,963      $   2,151,095

Institutional High Income Fund

            1,288,427

Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund

            55,828

Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund

           

 

From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds. As of March 31, 2010, certain Funds had shareholders that held greater than 5% of the fund’s outstanding shares. Such ownership may be beneficially held by

 

141

individuals or entities other than the owner of record. The number of greater than 5% shareholders and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such ownership was as follows:

Strategy | Invests substantially all of its assets, and may invest up to 100% of its assets, in high income securities. High income securities are fixed-income securities that Loomis Sayles believes have the potential to generate relatively high levels of current income.

Fund Inception Date | 4/12/04

Total Net Assets | $64.6 million

 

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The momentum of the high-yield rally that emerged in early-2009 carried through the final quarter of the year and into the first three months of 2010. Strong fundamentals and improving economic prospects continued to fuel investor appetites for risk. Spreads among high-yield securities continued to narrow toward long-term averages, as technical strength, improved maturity profiles and cost-cutting initiatives among highly leveraged companies helped valuations. Additionally, declining default projections helped improve investor confidence, as primary markets continued to provide ample supply.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles High Income Opportunities Fund returned 11.91%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, which returned 11.10% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

Favorable security selection primarily accounted for the fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark. In particular, strong credit selection among below investment-grade industrials contributed the most to overall portfolio performance, and our high-yield holdings in the consumer cyclical, non-cyclical and basic industry sectors continued to drive excess performance.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

Security selection within convertibles contributed significantly to portfolio performance, propelled by the strong underlying equity performance of our automotive and pharmaceutical holdings. In addition, out-of-benchmark allocations to investment-grade financials and commercial mortgage-backed securities also helped boost relative performance. Our maturity strategy also was effective, as efforts to trade shorter-term maturities in favor of intermediate-term maturities helped boost the fund’s yield.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

Although returns from below investment-grade financial, banking and insurance credits were positive throughout the period, our underweight allocations dragged down relative performance. In addition, a steepening yield curve weighed on returns. From a broader perspective, uncertainty surrounding credit issues in Greece and Dubai created high levels of volatility during the period.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

The fund is positioned to take advantage of a gradual economic recovery and positive fundamental trends. We believe short-term interest rates in the U.S. will remain low for the foreseeable future, but acknowledge the continuing pressures that the ever-increasing U.S. Treasury issuance will place on longer-term rates. In our

opinion, there remains ample opportunity for corporate bond yield spreads to tighten further. Within corporate credit, we are advocating a strategy of specific (fundamental credit) risk instead of market (interest rate) risk. We continue to see opportunity in the convertible market and have focused on increasing our exposure. We continue to add opportunistically to non-U.S.-dollar-denominated securities, with a focus on credits and countries in which we anticipate fundamental improvements will continue to emerge. We believe that in a rising-rate environment, research and security selection will continue to prove key to successful portfolio management.

Data quoted reflects past performance and cannot guarantee future results. Total returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than quoted.

 

Returns do not reflect the taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.

(c) The amount shown under Expense Ratio is 0.00% to reflect the fact that the fund does not pay any advisory, administration or distribution and service fees, and that Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay certain expenses of the fund.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

 

High yield securities are subject to a high degree of market and credit risk. The secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity, which may adversely affect the value of the Fund. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the U.S. government.

 

Because the fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities, the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a fund’s investments to decline. Funds that invest in securities denominated in, or receive revenues in, foreign currency are subject to currency risk. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

 

Because the fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade, the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. These events could reduce or eliminate the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments. Lower-rated debt securities have speculative characteristics because of the credit risk of their issuers and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher-rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity which, in turn, may adversely affect the value of these securities and that of the fund. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Mounting concerns about real estate values and the mortgage market caused mortgage-backed securities (MBS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) to become significantly undervalued during the first two quarters of 2009. In particular, MBS and CMBS issued by non-government-sponsored entities (GSEs) suffered the most, because they did not benefit from implied government support. Beginning in mid-2009 and continuing through the first quarter of 2010, investors began to recognize compelling values among these securities. As a result, risk preferences shifted away from safety and toward higher-quality non-GSE securities, and a rally ensued among non-GSE issues. CMBS posted robust returns, as weak fundamentals were less dire than prior expectations and as future expectations continued to improve. CMBS continued to see good demand coupled with low supply, which bolstered price movement leading to significant gains throughout the period.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Loomis Sayles Securitized Asset Fund returned 8.67%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Securitized Bond Index, which returned 2.94% for the period.

 

WHAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FUND’S OUTPERFORMANCE?

The fund’s holdings in sectors offering yield advantages relative to Treasuries, such as CMBS, ABS and non-GSE MBS, made the greatest contributions to performance.

 

WHICH FACTORS POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

A combination of rising prices and significant yield advantages led to strong overall performance. In addition, our consumer ABS, backed by automobile and credit card loans, performed well as loan delinquencies stabilized at a level that we believe is well within the credit support provided by these securities. Our overweighted positions in CMBS and ABS also contributed to the fund’s outperformance.

 

WHICH FACTORS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?

Although we reduced our position in GSE MBS, exposure to this sector detracted from performance. As risk appetites improved, investors shifted away from lower-risk GSE MBS, causing these securities to underperform on a relative basis. In addition, our position in longer-term securities detracted from results. Yields among securities with maturities of 10 years and longer increased more than yields on shorter-term (one- to seven-year) securities.

 

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?

Looking ahead, we expect our mortgage positions to benefit from a relatively stable interest-rate environment.

 

3


Table of Contents

Our forecast calls for interest rates to increase gradually over the intermediate term. We will continue to take advantage of the steep yield curve, focusing on capturing income opportunities rather than price appreciation. We are maintaining our overweights in CMBS and ABS. Although we expect fundamental weakness to persist in the mortgage and consumer loan markets, we believe that the securities we hold are well protected from credit risk through credit enhancements and that they offer compelling value and attractive yields.

 

Special Note: Effective May 10, 2010, Fan Hu has left her position as Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund.

Proxy Voting Information

A description of the Funds’ proxy voting policies and procedures is available without charge, upon request, (i) by calling Loomis Sayles at 800-633-3330; (ii) on the Funds’ website, www.loomissayles.com, and (iii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) website at www.sec.gov. Information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2009 is available on (i) the Funds’ website and (ii) the SEC’s website.

 

Quarterly Portfolio Schedules

The Funds file a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.

 

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

 

Typically, mutual fund shareholders incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. However, the Funds are unlike other mutual funds; they do not charge any fees or expenses.

 

You should be aware that shares in the Funds are available only to institutional investment advisory clients of Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) and Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) and to participants in “wrap fee” programs sponsored by broker dealers and investment advisers that may be affiliated or unaffiliated with the Funds, Loomis Sayles or Natixis Advisors. The institutional investment advisory clients of Loomis Sayles and Natixis Advisors pay Loomis Sayles or Natixis Advisors a fee for their investment advisory services, while participants in “wrap fee” programs pay a “wrap fee” to the program’s sponsor. The “wrap fee” program sponsors, in turn, pay a fee to Natixis Advisors. “Wrap fee” program participants should read carefully the wrap fee brochure provided to them by their program’s sponsor and the fees paid by such sponsor to Natixis Advisors. Shareholders pay no additional fees or expenses to purchase shares of the Funds. However, shareholders will indirectly pay a proportionate share of those costs, such as brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses, that are borne by the Funds through a reduction in each Fund’s net asset value.

 

The first line in each Fund’s table below shows the actual amount of Fund expenses ($0) you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from October 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual Fund returns and expenses.

 

The second line in each Fund’s table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio (0%) and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

1.   Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

 

Loomis Sayles High Income Opportunities Fund (the “High Income Opportunities Fund”)

 

Loomis Sayles Securitized Asset Fund (the “Securitized Asset Fund”)

 

Each Fund offers Institutional Class Shares. The Funds’ shares are offered exclusively to investors in “wrap fee” programs approved by Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) and/or Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) and to institutional advisory clients of Natixis Advisors or Loomis Sayles that, in each case, meet the Funds’ policies as established by Loomis Sayles.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring recognition in the financial statements or additional disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

a.   Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at their most recent settlement price. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.

 

The High Income Opportunities Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

 

b.   Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis.

 

29


Table of Contents

 

c.   Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

 

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the High Income Opportunities Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

 

The High Income Opportunities Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

 

d.   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The High Income Opportunities Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge a Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash or securities to or from the counterparty as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts. At March 31, 2010, there were no open forward foreign currency contracts.

 

e.   Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index (e.g., an interest-bearing security) for a specified price on a specified future date.

 

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker as “initial margin” an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities (such as U.S. Treasury bills or high-quality tax-exempt bonds acceptable to the broker). As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of the collateral held. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract, certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.

 

Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures have standardized contracts and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment guaranteed by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are limited.

 

At March 31, 2010, there were no open futures contracts.

 

f.   Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2010 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain

subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

The High Income Opportunities Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable.

 

g.   Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as premium amortization, defaulted bonds, distribution redesignations and paydown gains and losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to defaulted bond income accruals, premium amortization accruals, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustments, wash sales and futures contracts marked to market. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2009 was as follows:

 

     2009 Distributions Paid From:

Fund

   Ordinary
Income
     Long-Term
Capital Gains
     Total

High Income Opportunities Fund

   $ 6,616,163      $ 85,792      $ 6,701,955

Securitized Asset Fund

     19,285,124               19,285,124

 

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, if any, are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

 

As of September 30, 2009, the capital loss carryforwards and post-October losses were as follows:

 

     High Income
Opportunities Fund
     Securitized
Asset  Fund
 

Capital loss carryforward:

   $ (811,815    $   

Deferred net capital losses (post-October 2008)

     (6,438,019      (2,470,121

 

h.   Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

 

i.   Delayed Delivery Commitments. Purchases of delayed delivery instruments may have a similar effect on a Fund’s net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. The price of the underlying instruments and the date when they will be paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. If a Fund enters into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents will be maintained in an amount at least equal to the commitment with the custodian and/or broker. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

 

j.   Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the

 

31


Table of Contents

 

market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds 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.

 

As of March 31, 2010, there were no securities on loan.

 

k.   Indemnifications. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

3.  Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.);

 

   

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

4.   Derivatives. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that the Funds currently use include futures contracts.

 

The Funds are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Funds’ investments in fixed income securities. The Funds will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that they invest in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Funds may use futures contracts to manage the Funds’ duration in order to control interest rate risk without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. Securitized Asset Fund engaged in futures contract transactions during the six months ended March 31, 2010.

a.   Management Fees. Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay, without reimbursement from the Funds or the Trust, the following expenses of the Funds: compensation to Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust; registration, filing and other fees in connection with requirements of regulatory authorities; the charges and expenses of any entity appointed by the Funds for custodial, paying agent, shareholder servicing and plan agent services; charges and expenses of the independent registered public accounting firm retained by the Funds; charges and expenses of any transfer agents and registrars appointed by the Funds; any cost of certificates representing shares of the Funds; legal fees and expenses in connection with the day-to-day affairs of the Funds, including registering and qualifying its shares with Federal and State regulatory authorities; expenses of meetings of shareholders and Trustees of the Trust; the costs of services, including services of counsel, required in connection with the preparation of the Funds’ registration statements and prospectuses, including amendments and revisions thereto, annual, semi-annual and other periodic reports of the Funds, and notices and proxy solicitation material furnished to shareholders of the Funds or regulatory authorities, and any costs of printing or mailing these items; and the Funds’ expenses of bookkeeping, accounting and financial reporting, including related clerical expenses.

 

Loomis Sayles serves as investment adviser to each Fund. Under the terms of each management agreement, Loomis Sayles does not charge the Funds an investment advisory fee, also known as a management fee, or any other fee for those services or for bearing those expenses. Although the Funds do not compensate Loomis Sayles directly for services under the advisory agreement, Loomis Sayles will typically receive an advisory fee from the sponsors of “wrap programs,” who in turn charge the programs’ participants.

 

Certain officers and employees of Loomis Sayles are also officers or Trustees of the Trust. Loomis Sayles’ general partner is indirectly owned by Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (“Natixis US”), which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.

c.  Service and Distribution Fees. Each Fund has entered into a distribution agreement with Natixis Distributors, L.P. (“Natixis Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to the agreements, Natixis Distributors serves as principal underwriter of the Funds of the Trust. Natixis Distributors currently is not paid a fee for serving as distributor for the Funds. Loomis Sayles has agreed to reimburse Natixis Distributors to the extent that Natixis Distributors incurs expenses in connection with any redemption of Fund shares.

 

d.  Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Funds do not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US or their affiliates. Effective January 1, 2010, the Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends.
