PORTFOLIO REVIEW

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, primarily due to strong stock selection in the technology, utilities, producer durables and energy sectors. In addition, an overweight position in technology helped relative performance.

 

Throughout the six-month period, we shifted allocations in an effort to adapt the Fund to the current market environment. In particular, we increased the Fund’s technology weighting in anticipation of an improving economic environment in the second half of 2009. Many technology stocks were priced in anticipation of a worst-case scenario. This gave us the opportunity to buy stocks of companies with strong balance sheets and excellent fundamentals at reduced prices. NetLogic Microsystems, a semiconductor company, was one of the Fund’s top performing stocks, advancing with the semiconductor industry’s inventory re-build cycle.

 

In the utilities sector, we added exposure to the telecommunication services industry as fundamentals improved. Neutral Tandem Inc. was the industry’s top performer, reporting solid earnings in January and providing better-than-expected guidance driven by higher-than-forecasted billed minutes.

 

Additional allocation changes included reducing our health care weighting in search of more growth-oriented names. Health care had a negative impact on the portfolio as a result of poor performance from a handful of holdings. We also trimmed the Fund’s materials and processing exposure, waiting for economic conditions to improve. The sector detracted from Fund performance, primarily due to disappointing results from Hill International, a construction consulting firm that declined

as the construction industry continued to struggle. Hill International was sold.

 

Consumer staples was one of the few sectors in the Fund that had a positive absolute return for the period. On a relative basis, our stock selection within this sector was helpful. However, the Fund’s holdings in the consumer discretionary sector were among the largest detractors to performance, reflecting poor stock selection and an underweight position.

 

OUTLOOK

With the market rallying in the final weeks of the quarter, there are many reasons to believe that the worst is behind us. There is an unprecedented amount of stimulus being pumped into the global economy, the credit markets are starting to thaw, financial companies’ balance sheets are being repaired and consumer companies are reporting news that matters are not as dire as feared. It is our belief that we are more than half way through the recession and we’ve seen the lows in the market. However, we think the market’s strength will be retested. With this as a backdrop, we expect new leadership to emerge in the market and we are structuring the portfolio for this scenario, in pursuit of strong results over the long term.

CUMULATIVE PERFORMANCE

 

Inception to March 31, 2009(a)(b)

 

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 the Loomis Sayles website. 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 US 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

The Fund outperformed its Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, for the six months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to stock selection in the financial services and consumer discretionary sectors.

 

Financial services, the largest sector in the Fund and the Benchmark, was one of the weakest performing sectors in the market. Our cautious view of the fundamentals of bank stocks and our significant weighting in non-credit-sensitive financial data service companies resulted in exceptionally strong stock selection and significant outperformance relative to the Benchmark. Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc., a provider of trade processing and investor communication services to the financial services industry, was the Fund’s top performer for the period. The company’s stable business model was a key attraction for investors during the recent market upheaval. PHH Corp., an outsource provider of mortgage services and vehicle fleet management, was another top performer.

 

Although consumer discretionary was another weak sector in the market for the six-month period, the Fund’s consumer holdings emphasized less-cyclical companies, such as services companies and discount stores, which held up reasonably well during the market downturn. In addition, we made timely additions to the restaurant industry just before the stocks rebounded in March.

 

Technology was among the Fund’s weakest sectors for the period, primarily due to our holdings in semiconductors and electronics, which declined sharply on weakened demand and reduced earnings estimates. Health care also performed poorly, as reimbursement and regulatory concerns lead to negative earnings estimates and lower valuations throughout the sector.

 

Substantial volatility during the period provided opportunities to add to certain sectors and reduce others. With economic prospects declining, we actively reduced or eliminated several of our most economically sensitive holdings in the basic materials and energy sectors, replacing them with less-cyclical consumer staples and utility stocks. Throughout the period, we selectively added to financial services stocks, while maintaining an underweight relative to the Benchmark. We also reduced our health care exposure, due to mounting reimbursement and regulatory uncertainty stemming from November’s election results.

 

OUTLOOK

In light of the stock market rally in the March 2009, the inevitable question is whether the recent rally is a breather or the start of a new trend. The stock market is often considered a forward-looking indicator, and historically it has recovered before all the negative economic news dissipated. Indeed, we are encouraged by recent economic data that suggest the economy may be bottoming, at least for some of the hardest hit sectors. However, we recognize that market bottoms never progress evenly. Nevertheless, bumpy scenarios historically have often provided investment opportunities for those who do their homework.

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 US 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.

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, 2008 through March 31, 2009. 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, 2009 (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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to certain equity funds of the Trusts; the financial statements for the remaining equity funds and the fixed income 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 applicable to such class). 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.

 

a.  Valuation. Equity securities, including 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 “marked-to-market” daily 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 the Fund is notified, and interest income

 

25


Table of Contents

 

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 the 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.

 

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 price of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

 

d.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies and may also be used for hedging purposes. 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 Statement 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.

 

At March 31, 2009, there were no open forward foreign currency contracts.

 

e.  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 applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examination (tax years ended September 30, 2005-2008) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

A Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also

impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable, and are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

f.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined 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 distributions from REITs, foreign currency transactions 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, REIT basis adjustments 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, 2008 was as follows:

 

     2008 Distributions Paid From:

Fund

   Ordinary
Income
     Long-Term
Capital Gains
     Total

Small Cap Growth Fund

   $      $      $

Small Cap Value Fund

     16,873,484        91,300,786        108,174,270

 

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, 2008, capital loss carryforwards and post-October losses were as follows:

 

Capital loss carryforward:

   Small Cap
Growth Fund
     Small Cap
Value Fund
 

Expires September 30, 2010

   $ (138,314,515 )    $  

Expires September 30, 2011

     (59,283,040 )       
                 

Total capital loss carryforward

   $ (197,597,555 )    $  
                 

Deferred net capital losses (post-October 2007)

   $ (7,364,469 )    $ (47,743,728 )
                 

 

g.  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. The 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.

 

h.  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, 2009, there were no securities on loan.

i.  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.

 

j.  New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

 

3.  Fair Value Measurements. The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2—prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, 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 investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments 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, 2009:

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

 

4.  Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

(“Natixis US”), which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.

b.  Administrative Fees. Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Funds and subcontracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. Natixis Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust III, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Natixis Cash Management Trust, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), Hansberger International Series and Natixis Advisors, each Fund pays Natixis Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0425% of the next $30 billion and 0.0375% of such assets in excess of $60 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis. New funds are subject to a fee for the first twelve months of operations of $75,000 plus $12,500 per class and an additional $75,000 if managed by multiple subadvisors.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, each Fund paid the following for administrative fees to Natixis Advisors:

 

Fund

   Administrative
Fees

Small Cap Growth Fund

   $ 22,403

Small Cap Value Fund

     192,274

 

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 Trusts. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distributors serves as principal underwriter of each Fund.

 

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Small Cap Growth Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund have adopted a Distribution Plan relating to their Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plans”) and the Small Cap Value Fund has adopted a separate Distribution Plan relating to its Admin Class shares (the “Admin Class Plan”).

 

Under the respective Retail Class and Admin Class Plans, 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 Fund’s Retail Class and Admin Class Shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Natixis Distributors in providing personal services to investors in Retail Class and Admin Class Shares and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Small Cap Value Fund may pay an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares, to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal service and account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Funds paid the following service and distribution fees:

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. Listed below are the fees incurred by the Funds which are included in the transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.

e.  Trustees Fees and Expenses. 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. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. 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 $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the 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.

 

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.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, net depreciation in the value of participants’ deferral accounts has been included in Miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations, as follows:

 

Fund

   Amount

Small Cap Growth Fund

   $ 8,037

Small Cap Value Fund

     14,867

 

f.  Redemption Fees. Shareholders of Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund are charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeem, including redeeming by exchange, any class of shares of such Funds within 60 days of their acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee is intended to offset the costs to the Funds of short-term trading, such as portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The redemption fee is deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and is paid to the Fund.

 

The “first-in, first-out” method is used to determine the holding period of redeemed or exchanged shares, which means that if a shareholder acquired shares on different days, the shares acquired first will be redeemed or exchanged first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies. A new holding period begins with each purchase or exchange. These fees are accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

 

On March 27, 2009, the Trustees approved the elimination of redemption fees on Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund effective June 1, 2009.

 

6.  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 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 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

 

Prior to March 11, 2009, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed 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 Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% 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.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund underperformed its Benchmark, Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Index, primarily due to its exposure to high yield and non-US-dollar debt.

 

Security selection was the foremost driver of underperformance, primarily among high yield and investment grade industrial credits. In particular, the global recession and increasing liquidity fears drove losses on highly levered names, including telecommunication and health care, along with specific names in autos. In the investment grade utilities segment, our overweight allocation, coupled with liquidity issues and the seasonal nature of revenues, led to lagging results. High yield convertible bonds also declined sharply, but a rally in the first quarter of 2009 helped mitigate our losses.

 

As the global recession continued, the US dollar gained on its peers, as investors sought protection from currencies impacted by faltering commodity prices. Our foreign exposure, primarily in Canada, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand and Brazil, weighed heavily on portfolio returns. Despite a positive shift in the market during the first quarter of 2009, losses from the closing quarter of 2008 were too large to be offset.

 

Risk aversion and a massive flight to quality inflated US Treasury prices and yields sank to historic lows. As a result, our underweight allocations to US Treasury and agency securities also contributed to the Fund’s underperformance for the period.

 

On a positive note, we maintained a longer-than-Benchmark duration during the period, primarily in investment grade corporate bonds and government agency securities. As yields on US Treasury securities declined amid the massive flight to quality, the Fund’s relatively long term positioning enabled it to capitalize on rising prices. In addition, our exposure to financial credits benefited from the introduction of several US Treasury department lending programs. In particular, our non-investment-grade positioning gained ground early in the period, primarily due to the credit arm of a major US automaker that received access to federal funding.

 

OUTLOOK

We believe high yield issues will continue to be volatile, as defaults continue to increase over the course of the year. We remain underweight in the CCC-rated portion of the market, as we believe most defaults will come from this space. We believe investment grade credit continues to offer strong relative value, as spreads remain at relatively wide levels. As the markets grow more convinced the global recovery has taken hold, we eventually expect to see

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 US government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the US government. 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 US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a Fund’s investments to decline. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund underperformed its Benchmark, Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Index, primarily due to specific security selection, duration positioning in investment grade industrials and preferred securities and sector allocation.

 

Exceptional market volatility spurred a flight to quality in the fourth quarter of 2008, which impaired access to capital for many businesses, particularly those with direct ties to the US consumer. Our high yield industrial bonds fell victim to this crisis of confidence. In addition, our underweight in US Treasurys, which benefited during the flight to quality, also weighed on returns in the first quarter of 2009.

 

The increasingly grim global economic outlook sent most major currencies lower versus the US dollar, which led to lagging results for our foreign currency holdings. In particular, falling prices in the commodities market, stemming from depressed global demand, had a substantial impact on several currencies, including the Brazilian real, New Zealand dollar and Canadian dollar. The Indonesian rupiah and the Icelandic krona also lagged, as instability in the US financial markets gripped foreign institutions. Our allocation to convertible securities put additional downward pressure on returns. Much of this underperformance was due to the Fund’s exposure to several firms that declared bankruptcy or were severely distressed during the period, including Nortel, Epix and Ford Motor Co.

 

For most of the period, we maintained a longer-than-Benchmark duration strategy, concentrated largely in long term, investment grade industrials and preferred securities. This positioning detracted modestly from performance as the yield curve steepened.

 

From a sector perspective, our investment grade industrials made the greatest contribution to relative performance, led by strong results from individual companies in the telecommunication industry. The Fund’s allocation to high yield financials also fared well, following the successful conversion of GMAC into a bank holding company.

 

OUTLOOK

We believe high yield issues will continue to be volatile, as defaults continue to increase over the course of the year. We remain underweight in the CCC-rated portion of the market, as we believe most defaults will come from this space. We believe investment grade credit continues to offer strong relative value, as spreads remain at relatively wide levels. As the markets grow more convinced the global recovery has taken hold, we eventually expect to see

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund underperformed its Benchmark, Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index, primarily due to its overweight positions in US and European corporate bonds.

 

Most of the Fund’s underperformance occurred during the first three months of the fiscal period, as the credit crisis deepened and investors’ flight to safety accelerated. The global recession, illiquid capital markets, and depleted investor confidence caused corporate spreads to widen to record levels during the period. The Fund’s worst performing individual issues included banks, brokers and finance companies, which struggled as concern about the global banking system weighed on investors. In addition, our out-of-Benchmark position in the Iceland krona dampened returns, as the extraordinary collapse of that nation’s banking system led to large losses in the value of its currency.

 

In December and January the Fund benefitted from corporate spread tightening. Positive fund flows and a healthy supply of new issues, combined with widespread sentiment that corporate credit could offer value, encouraged investors. In addition, interest rates fell in most markets, and the Fund’s long duration in credit securities helped performance.

 

Our underweight positions in the euro and Canadian dollar led to positive performance results. Concerns surrounding the European banking sector and its exposure to Eastern Europe caused the euro to weaken, while weaker economic data, falling commodity prices, and the spillover from deteriorating US fundamentals undermined support for the Canadian dollar. In the first quarter of 2009, we added to the Fund’s position in the Norwegian krona, which rallied against the greenback as commodity prices stabilized.

 

OUTLOOK

We have positioned the portfolio for a global recovery that we see ahead in the months to come, with relatively few US Treasurys, an underweight in the Japanese yen, and overweight positions in high-grade and high yield credit.

 

Given the market’s buying enthusiasm this spring, we are inclined to look for a slight pullback from the recent optimism. If this occurs, we will take advantage of any attractive re-pricing to add to “recovery” positions. Specifically, we plan to increase the Fund’s position in currencies tied to commodity prices, emerging market securities, and high yield bonds.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund lagged its Benchmark, Barclays Capital US TIPS Index, primarily as a result of security selection. During the period, the real yield on ten-year TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) decreased to 1.43% at March 31, 2009, from 2.25% on September 30, 2008. The yield on five-year TIPS slid to 0.9% at the end of March 2009.

 

Although the nominal US Treasury curve continued to steepen amidst the accelerating credit crisis and significant Federal Reserve rate cuts, the TIPS curve flattened during much of the period. Investors quickly replaced their inflation fears with fears of deflation, as commodities retreated from their third-quarter peaks. Our longer-than-Benchmark duration strategy helped buoy returns as the TIPS curve flattened.

 

TIPS, which comprised 85% of the Fund, were battered during much of the period, as deflation fears and gloomy economic news prompted investors to flee to the relative safety of nominal Treasuries. Inflation concerns reappeared late in the first quarter of 2009, due to a spike in oil prices and a rapidly ballooning Federal Reserve balance sheet. These concerns provided a measure of relief for TIPS, but the sector still ended the period lagging nominal Treasurys.

 

Out-of-Benchmark positions accounted for the bulk of the Fund’s relative underperformance. Exceptional market volatility spurred a flight to quality in the first half of the period. This led to impaired access to capital for much of the credit market, particularly firms with direct ties to the domestic consumer. The Fund’s industrial holdings, particularly in the high yield sector, fell victim to this crisis of confidence. The market’s appetite for risk tentatively re-emerged late in the first quarter of 2009, but the resulting rally was not sufficient to offset earlier losses.

 

In addition, the increasingly grim global economic outlook sent most major currencies lower versus the US dollar. In this environment, our non-US-dollar holdings, including those denominated in the Mexican peso and Singapore dollar, detracted from performance.

 

OUTLOOK

Although our near-term outlook for inflation remains relatively tame, the longer term outlook suggests inflation may soar due to the considerable amount of government stimulus in the system and the massive expansion of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. In this environment, we believe TIPS continue to offer good value.

 

Investment grade credit spreads appear ample relative to the credit problems we see ahead in coming quarters and in light of likely improvements in market liquidity. We are less enthusiastic about high yield, though, due to the potential for rising defaults this year and next.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund performed in line with its Benchmark, Barclays Capital High Yield Index, during a period when the acceleration of the credit crisis and uptick in defaults continued to assault the high yield market.

 

The lack of liquidity and an absence of dealers significantly affected valuations across the credit spectrum. Fears of a systemic meltdown drove dramatic volatility in the high yield market, as the credit crisis sent investors running for less risky assets. High yield bonds and highly leveraged loans did not perform well in this environment and significantly detracted from the Fund’s returns. Lower quality credits in the industrials and utilities sectors were particularly hard hit, as balance sheets were constrained and defaults increased. Furthermore, rising unemployment and economic weakness weighed on lower quality bonds in the consumer sectors.

 

However, the Fund’s high quality corporate bonds provided a source of relative returns in this environment. In particular, the US government’s injection of capital into the banking system, through a variety of programs and extraordinary measures, alleviated our concerns of financial collapse, and we subsequently increased exposure to higher quality banking issues. This strategy was effective, as our out-of-Benchmark allocation to investment grade financial companies boosted relative returns due to the rebound in this sector.

 

Government programs, such as the recent expansion of the TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) and the announcement of PPIP (Public-Private Investment Program) were significantly supportive of the CMBS (commercial mortgage-backed securities) market. Our small addition of super senior CMBS with AAA ratings boosted absolute and relative returns.

 

OUTLOOK

We believe high yield issues will continue to be volatile, as defaults continue to increase over the course of the year. We remain underweight in the CCC-rated portion of the market, as we believe most defaults will come from this space. We believe investment grade credit continues to offer strong relative value, as spreads remain at relatively wide levels. As the markets grow more convinced the global recovery has taken hold, we eventually expect to see more demand for riskier assets, such as high yield and investment grade bonds, as well as commodity currencies.

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 US government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the US government. 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 US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a Fund’s investments to decline. Accordingly, the purchase of fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund underperformed its Benchmark, Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Intermediate Index, primarily due to sector allocation and holdings in the high yield and non-US-dollar credit space.

 

Risk aversion and a massive flight to quality characterized the six month period, inflating US Treasury prices, pushing yields to historic lows. Our underweight allocations to US Treasury and agency securities were key drivers of underperformance, as these high quality sectors generated strong relative returns.

As global economic conditions worsened, investors sought protection from currencies impacted by faltering commodity prices, and the US dollar gained ground. Our exposure to bonds denominated in the Singapore dollar weighed negatively upon returns. Although market sentiment shifted in the first quarter of 2009, the subsequent gains were not enough to offset previous losses.

 

Security selection, combined with out-of-Benchmark investments, were also a key driver of the Fund’s underperformance, primarily among high yield industrial credits. The global recession, combined with increasing liquidity concerns, had a negative impact on already battered names in the telecommunication, homebuilding and lodging industries. In addition, investment grade utility bonds suffered from liquidity issues and the seasonal nature of the industry’s revenues. Our overweight to these sectors detracted from results.

 

Other investment grade credits, including consumer non-cyclical and financial names, contributed positively to performance. The introduction of several US Treasury department lending programs added support to higher quality issues in the banking, finance and brokerage industries. Similarly, the new TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) and PPIP (Public-Private Investment Program) helped boost the performance of the Fund’s agency and commercial mortgage-backed securities, but not enough to offset earlier losses.

 

We maintained a longer-than-Benchmark duration by focusing on long term agencies and government related securities, and this contributed positively to performance. As the massive flight to quality caused US Treasury yields to decline, causing prices to rise, the Fund benefited from its relatively long duration.

 

OUTLOOK

We believe high yield issues will continue to be volatile, as defaults continue to increase over the course of the year. We remain underweight in the CCC-rated portion of the market, as we believe most defaults will come from this space. We believe investment grade credit continues to offer strong relative value, as spreads remain at relatively wide levels. As the markets grow more convinced the global recovery has taken hold, we eventually expect to see more demand for riskier assets, such as high yield and investment grade credit, as well as commodity currencies.

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 US. Securities issued by US government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the US government. 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 US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a Fund’s investments to decline.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund underperformed its Benchmark, Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Index, primarily due to its security selection within high yield industrials and its non-US-dollar exposure.

 

Risk aversion and a massive flight to quality characterized the six month period, inflating US Treasury prices and pushing yields to historic lows. Our underweight allocations to US Treasury and agency securities were key drivers of the Fund’s underperformance.

 

As global economic conditions worsened, investors sought protection from faltering commodity currencies. Our exposure to the currencies of Canada, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand and Brazil weighed heavily on performance. Although market sentiment shifted in the first quarter of 2009, the subsequent gains were not enough to offset the prior losses.

 

The global recession, combined with increasing liquidity concerns, drove already battered companies in the high yield telecommunication, homebuilding and lodging sectors even lower. In addition, bonds in the investment grade utilities segment suffered from liquidity issues and the seasonal nature of the industry’s revenues. The Fund’s overweight to this sector detracted from results.

 

On the other hand, our strong security selection in the investment grade technology and telecommunication sectors contributed positively to performance. The introduction of several US Treasury department lending programs added support to higher quality issues in the banking, finance and brokerage industries, while our high yield financials benefited when the credit arm of a major US automaker received federal funds. Similarly, the government’s TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) and PPIP (Public-Private Investment Program) helped boost the performance of the Fund’s agency and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

 

We maintained a longer-than-Benchmark duration throughout the six-month period, including long term agencies and government related securities, and these contributed positively to performance. As US Treasury yields declined in the massive flight to quality, the Fund’s relatively long duration enabled it to benefit from rising prices.

 

OUTLOOK

We believe high yield issues will continue to be volatile, as defaults continue to increase over the course of the year. We remain underweight in the CCC-rated portion of the market, as we believe most defaults will come from this space. We believe investment grade credit continues to offer strong relative value, as spreads remain at relatively wide levels. As the markets grow more convinced the

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

 

As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including 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 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, 2008 through March 31, 2009. 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.

March 31, 2009 (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). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the fixed income funds of the Trust; the financial statements for the equity funds of the Trust are presented in a separate report. 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 applicable to such class). 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.

 

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 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 “marked-to-market” daily using interpolated prices determined by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are priced 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 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 the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Principal adjustments (in the event of deflation) are recorded as reductions of interest income to the extent of interest income earned. The amount by which deflationary principal adjustments exceed interest income earned is recorded as an increase to the cost basis of the security. Additionally, the amount by which deflationary principal adjustments exceed rising inflationary principal adjustments on a cumulative basis, if any, is recorded as an increase to the cost basis of the security. 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 the 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.

 

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.

 

d.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund that may invest in foreign investments may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies and may also be used for hedging purposes. 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 Fund’s Statement 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.

 

e.  Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement 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 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.

 

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 applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examination (tax years ended September 30, 2005-2008) and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

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

 

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 foreign currency transactions, defaulted bond adjustments, discount adjustments on inflation-protected securities, paydown gains and losses and premium amortization accruals. 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, and defaulted bond interest. 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, 2008 was as follows:

 

     2008 Distributions Paid From:

Fund

   Ordinary
Income
     Long-Term
Capital
Gains
     Total

Bond Fund

   $ 1,174,950,148      $      $ 1,174,950,148

     43,626,372        643,688        44,270,060

Global Bond Fund

     114,644,152               114,644,152

Inflation Protected Securities Fund

     1,129,818               1,129,818

Institutional High Income Fund

     12,782,158        3,318,304        16,100,462

Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund

     1,768,089               1,768,089

Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund

     19,088,772               19,088,772

 

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.

h.  Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% 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. It is each Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. 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. Certain transactions, such as futures and forward transactions, or purchases of when-issued or 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 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. The value of securities on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Bond Fund with respect to such loans at March 31, 2009 were $26,393 and $620,713, respectively. There were no securities on loan for the other Funds.

 

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.

l.  New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

 

3.  Fair Value Measurements. The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

   

Level 2—prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, 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 investment (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments 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.

 

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in investments carried at value and may include such instruments as futures contracts and forward contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

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 each fund.

 

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

 

Under the respective Retail Class and Admin Class Plans, 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 Fund’s Retail Class and Admin Class Shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Natixis Distributors in providing personal services to investors in Retail Class and Admin Class Shares and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Bond Fund may pay an administrative service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal service and account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Funds paid the following service and distribution fees:

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. Listed below are the fees incurred by the Funds which are included in the transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.

e.  Trustees Fees and Expenses. 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. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. 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 $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that

he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the 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.

 

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.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, net depreciation in the value of participants’ deferral accounts has been included in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations, as follows:

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 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% 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.

KEY FUND FACTS

Symbol | LSIOX

Objective | High current income. Capital appreciation is the Fund’s secondary objective.

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

Fund Inception Date | 4/12/04

Total Net Assets | $55.8 million

 

 

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The Fund underperformed its Benchmark, Barclays Capital High Yield Index (formerly “Lehman High Yield Index”) for the six months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to poor performance in the high yield utility sector and the Fund’s underweight in high yield financials. Following the unprecedented events of 2008, which seized up credit markets and spoiled investors’ risk appetite, performance was weak for most sectors on an absolute basis. On a relative basis, though, the Fund benefited from gains in out-of-benchmark allocations to investment-grade credit and securitized assets.

 

The dramatic drop in natural gas prices from last year’s peak levels, coupled with the recession, greatly compressed earnings and the credit metrics of electric utility players. Returns from this sector were among the worst in the six-month period. The high yield financial sector posted solid absolute performance, primarily due to the auto finance segment. But our underweight to this segment limited the Fund’s ability to participate in this market. In addition, our preferred and convertible holdings detracted from performance, due to volatility in the equity market and issue-specific weakness. Preferred and convertible holdings were badly bruised for the period, as volatility in the equity market and issue-specific weakness depressed performance. Most notable losses stemmed from financial and pharmaceutical names.

 

Despite its negative absolute performance, investment grade credit posted the largest contribution to the Fund’s relative performance. Certain financial companies were the biggest gainers, followed by select technology bonds within the industrial sector. Continued government intervention helped finance-related firms retrace some of their earlier losses, while the sector’s favorable yield-curve positioning advanced overall performance.

 

Within the high yield industrials sector, holdings in the telecommunication, chemical, and paper industries lagged during the period. Our underweight to this slumped sector was a positive for the Fund’s relative performance. Late in the period, securitized assets received a performance boost from the Federal Reserve’s expansion of the TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) program and the Treasury’s new Public-Private Investment Partnership (PPIP). Our allocations to AAA-rated super senior CMBS (commercial mortgage-backed securities) and subordinated credit card ABS (asset-backed securities) contributed positively to performance.

 

OUTLOOK

We believe high yield issues will continue to be volatile, as defaults continue to increase over the course of the year. We remain underweight in the CCC-rated portion of the market, as we believe most defaults will come from this

space. We believe investment grade credit continues to offer strong relative value, as spreads remain at relatively wide levels. As the markets grow more convinced that the global recovery has taken hold, we eventually expect to see more demand for riskier assets, such as high yield and investment grade bonds, as well as commodity currencies.

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. Index performance data is not available coincident with the Fund’s inception date.

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 US government agencies are not insured by and may not be guaranteed by the US government.

KEY FUND FACTS

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The Fund lagged its Benchmark, the Barclays Capital Securitized Index (formerly “Lehman Securitized Index”) for the six months ended March 31, 2009, primarily due to its holdings in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (MBS and CMBS) issued by entities other than the government-sponsored entities (GSEs). These securities do not have the benefit of implied government support, and they were among the fixed-income market’s worst relative performers. Throughout most of the period, quality was king, and investors favored the safety and liquidity of US Treasury and other government-backed securities.

 

The Federal Reserve continued its efforts to lower private market interest rates by purchasing MBS issued by the GSEs and launching the TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) to provide financing to buyers of asset-backed securities (ABS). These actions led to relative outperformance for MBS issued by the GSEs and to a partial recovery in the ABS market.

 

We maintained overweight positions in CMBS and private labeled residential MBS. These securities suffered as the real estate market deteriorated during the period. In addition, at the height of the credit crisis and in the wake of last fall’s bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, liquidity in the securitized markets effectively dried up. Since then, liquidity has slowly returned, and the securitized sectors experienced a partial recovery toward the end of the Fund’s six-month fiscal period. Nevertheless, investors’ risk appetite remained relatively weak.

 

OUTLOOK

Looking ahead, we expect the Federal Reserve to keep the federal funds target rate unchanged at its historic low range of 0.0% to 0.25%. However, we think longer-term rates may move modestly higher, so we are maintaining our focus on income opportunities rather than seeking significant appreciation potential. We are purchasing securities that we believe will be able to withstand further weakness in the housing market, have strong credit protection, are priced at a significant discount, and offer strong return potential.

 

We are also maintaining our overweight in the most senior CMBS, which we believe have ample credit protection. We continue to hold MBS issued by the GSEs, but we are maintaining a neutral weighting because we believe their upside potential is limited at this time. The Fund remains overweight in ABS backed by residential mortgage loans, automobile loans and credit card receivables. We believe these securities offer attractive yields and have strong credit quality due to their secured status and additional credit enhancements.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

Index Definitions

Lipper High Current Yield Funds Index is an equally weighted, unmanaged index of typically the 30 largest mutual funds within the high current yield funds investment objective.

Lipper US Mortgage Funds Index is an equally weighted, unmanaged index of typically the 30 largest mutual funds within the US mortgage funds investment objective.

Source: Lipper, Inc.

 

Barclays Capital High Yield Index covers the universe of fixed rate, non-investment grade debt. Pay-in-kind (PIK) bonds, Eurobonds, and debt issues from countries designated as emerging markets (e.g., Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, etc.) are excluded, but Canadian and global bonds (SEC registered) of issuers in non-emerging market countries are included. Original issue zeroes, step-up coupon structures, and 144As are also included.

Barclays Capital Securitized Index is an unmanaged index of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities (ERISA eligible) and fixed rate mortgage-backed securities.

Returns are adjusted for the reinvestment of capital gains distributions and income dividends. Indices are unmanaged and do not have expenses that affect results, unlike most mutual funds. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Effective 11/3/08, the Lehman indices were rebranded to the Barclays Capital indices. There has been no change in the calculation or definition of the index data.

 

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 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, 2008 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, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees and certain exchange fees; 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, 2008 through March 31, 2009. 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, 2009 (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 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.

 

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 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 Markets 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 “marked-to-market” daily utilizing interpolated prices determined by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are priced 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.

 

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.

 

31


Table of Contents

 

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 the 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.

 

The High Income Opportunities 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.

 

d.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The High Income Opportunities Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Contracts generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies and may also be used for hedging purposes. 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 Statement 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. At March, 31 2009, there were no open forward foreign currency contracts.

 

e.  Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement 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.

 

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 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 taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examination (tax years ended September 30, 2005—2008), where applicable, and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. Fund 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

 

March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)

 

 

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, and are reflected as foreign tax payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

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 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, 2008 was as follows:

 

    2008 Distributions Paid From:
Fund   Ordinary
Income
  Long-Term
Capital Gains
  Total

High Income Opportunities Fund

  $ 7,183,035   $ 174,077   $ 7,357,112

Securitized Asset Fund

    20,848,572         20,848,572

 

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, 2008, the post-October losses were as follows:

 

     High Income
Opportunities Fund
     Securitized
Asset Fund
 

Deferred net capital losses (post-October 2007)

   $      $ (3,534,625 )
                 

 

h.  Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% 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. It is each Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. 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. Certain transactions, such as futures and forward transactions, or purchases of when-issued or 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 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, 2009, 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.

 

l. New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

 

3. Fair Value Measurements. The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective October 1, 2008. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for net asset value determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

   

Level 2—prices determined using other significant observable inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar investments, 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 investment (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments 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.

 

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in investments carried at value and may include such instruments as futures contracts and forward contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2009:

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

 

4.   Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and including paydowns) were as follows:

5.  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay, without reimbursement from the Funds or the Trust, the following expenses of the Funds: compensation to Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust; registration, filing and other fees in connection with requirements of regulatory authorities; the charges and expenses of any entity appointed by the Funds for custodial, paying agent, shareholder servicing and plan agent services; charges and expenses of the independent registered public accounting firm retained by the Funds; charges and expenses of any transfer agents and registrars appointed by the Funds; any cost of certificates representing shares of the Funds; legal fees and expenses in connection with the

day-to-day affairs of the Funds, including registering and qualifying its shares with Federal and State regulatory authorities; expenses of meetings of shareholders and Trustees of the Trust; the costs of services, including services of counsel, required in connection with the preparation of the Funds’ registration statements and prospectuses, including amendments and revisions thereto, annual, semi-annual and other periodic reports of the Funds, and notices and proxy solicitation material furnished to shareholders of the Funds or regulatory authorities, and any costs of printing or mailing these items; and the Funds’ expenses of bookkeeping, accounting and financial reporting, including related clerical expenses.

 

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

 

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

 

b.  Administrative Fees. Natixis Advisors provides certain administrative services for the Funds and subcontracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. Natixis Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay, without reimbursement from the Trust or Funds, fees to Natixis Advisors for services to the Funds under each agreement.

 

c.  Service and Distribution Fees. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Natixis Distributors, L.P. (“Natixis Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distributors serves as principal underwriter of the Funds. 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 their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US, or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. 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 $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust III, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Natixis Cash Management Trust, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”) and the 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. Loomis Sayles has agreed to pay the pro rata portion of Trustees fees and expenses for each Fund, without reimbursement from the Trust or Funds.

 

6.  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 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 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

 

Prior to March 11, 2009, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed 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 Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% 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.
