Growth stocks can be more sensitive to market movements because their prices are based in part on future expectations. The fund may invest in foreign securities that involve risks not associated with domestic securities. ================================================================================ Management Discussion -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strong performance from a few key issues benefited CGM Advisor Targeted Equity Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Total return for Class A shares at net asset value was 3.15% for the period, slightly below the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which returned 3.44%. However, the fund's performance was above the average for its Morningstar Large Blend category: 2.78% for the six-month period. Fund fully invested to capture growth The fund began 2004 positioned for several years of economic growth with rising employment, consumer confidence and corporate profits. Inflation remains at its lowest level in 40 years. Significant underutilized economic capacity and prospects for productivity growth lead us to expect inflation to remain moderate for some time to come. During the first half of the year, we eliminated positions in pharmaceutical stocks and significantly reduced our homebuilding investments to free up assets for our expanding commitment to energy stocks and key individual issues. Stocks selected for earnings growth were top contributors During the period, several stocks led fund performance: Avon Products, Harman International, and America Movil. All three stocks satisfied our emphasis on earnings. Avon Products, a new acquisition, is a well-known household products company. While business is increasing modestly in the United States, with new products and a motivated sales force, Avon's strongest growth is coming from Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Russia, with prospects for healthy growth in China. Also benefiting from growth abroad is America Movil, a dominant Latin American cellular company. Based in Mexico, America Movil has made important acquisitions in the much-less-saturated markets of Brazil, Columbia and Argentina. With growth rates for cellular service in excess of 20%, these countries offer tremendous business opportunities. Harman International Industries, a leading consumer electronics company, expanded a number of years ago into manufacturing electronics for automobiles. The company most recently introduced a fully automated, voice-activated infotainment system that bundles telephone, stereo, and navigational systems into a single product. We believe the company's future growth rests on the system's price point, as well as lack of competition and Harman's ability to expand its product base from luxury automobiles to more moderately priced cars. Electronics and technology lag Disappointments included AU Optronics, a global electronics company that manufactures flat panel screens for use in TVs, computer monitors, and laptops. Although the company operates in a rapidly expanding market, the stock price declined on fears of excess capacity in the sector. Another stock that lagged was Micron Technology, a manufacturer of random access chips. We sold this issue because the industry's supply and demand dynamic did not develop as favorably as we anticipated, leading to pricing pressure and disappointing earnings. Emphasis on energy stocks Currently, we are most interested in the energy sector. While much attention has been focused on potential supply disruptions in the Middle East, upward pressure on oil prices is also coming from strong demand from Asia, particularly China. Demand for energy stocks dipped recently as investors anticipated a drop in oil prices - an expectation we don't share. Outlook for gradually rising interest rates We expect the Federal Reserve Board to increase short-term interest rates gradually during the coming year. However, we don't anticipate aggressive tightening, which could jeopardize economic recovery. We will remain focused on trying to identify a small number of companies that we believe offer superior growth potential. 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CGM Advisor Targeted Equity Fund -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investment Results through June 30, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance in Perspective The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed.

For the same period, the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index (neither of which include the United States) returned 4.86% and 4.10%, respectively, and the MSCI World Index (which includes the United States) returned 3.79%. The average performance of comparable funds in the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category was 3.12%. Effective March 1, 2004, the fund changed from its Star format with multiple subadvisors to its present format with one investment advisor. Its focus is unchanged - to invest in common stocks of companies located outside the United States - but its assets are allocated between two segments: growth and value. Growth segment buoyed by positive economy For the past several months, the stocks of larger, growth-oriented, high-quality companies that this segment favors tended to lag small-cap, value and low-quality stocks. An environment of historically low interest rates tended to favor value-oriented investors last year and early in the first half of 2004, but during the second quarter, rising energy prices contributed to inflationary fears and spawned an increase in interest rates. As of June 30, there had already been four rate hikes in the U.K., one in the United States, and we believe others are likely this fall in Europe and Canada. To date, global economic growth has been positive, not overheated, and profits of many companies have grown. For example, Japan has seen back-to-back quarters of growth after nearly a decade of stagnation, although to date the primary beneficiaries have been smaller, domestically oriented companies. Reflecting the changing value of the U.S. dollar, geographic areas that benefited this segment included emerging markets, the Pacific Rim ex-Japan, Canada, and Australia. Hong Kong-based apparel company Esprit and German automaker Porsche benefited the fund. Poor performers were low-cost air carrier Ryanair, which we believe may be trying to expand too quickly, and Adecco, an employment agency with a global reach, tainted by accounting questions. Value segment emphasizes Europe and emerging markets First half performance for this segment was positive, helped by European and Japanese equities. Most continental European markets, as well as Japan, posted positive returns as investors appear to finally believe that reports of improving domestic demand and a surge in exports may indicate a sustainable recovery. However, emerging markets did not perform well due to concerns over the U.S. Fed tightening and other, country-specific factors. Individual stocks that did well include Rolls Royce Group, the British manufacturer of jet engines, and European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (the holding company for Airbus), which gained as the pick-up in the global economy contributed to a rise in air travel. In turn this led to a rise in demand for new aircraft, spare parts and service. Sumitomo Trust & Banking Company and Asahi Glass contributed to the positive performance within the fund's Japanese holdings, although we remain underweight in Japan relative to the benchmark because we believe the market is expensive. Detracting from performance were stocks in the consumer discretionary sector, including Denway Motors, a Honda joint venture in China, and Germany's Volkswagen. The fear of a slowdown in the Chinese economy as well as intense competition from other automobile manufacturers hurt the performance of these two stocks. The fund's Korean holdings also detracted from performance due to Korea's links with China and the potential slowdown there as well. LG Chemical and Kookmin Bank both proved disappointing. Elections, rising interest rates, suggest volatile markets lie ahead We expect many challenges for the balance of 2004 and into 2005, as elections and monetary actions shift the economic landscape around the world. Nonetheless, many companies are doing well and we will continue to deploy our long-term fundamental stockpicking strategy in an effort to add value, even in uncertain times. 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hansberger International Fund -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investment Results through June 30, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance in Perspective The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed.

Nygren Floyd J. Bellman -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symbols: Class A NRSAX Class B NRSBX Class C NRSCX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You Should Know: The fund invests in a small number of securities, which may result in greater volatility than more diversified funds. Value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the over-all market during any given period. ================================================================================ Management Discussion -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Although the U.S. economy continued to expand, equity markets were largely unchanged over the first half of 2004, as investors paused to reassess valuations following a period of sharp gains. High oil prices and a worrisome international situation also kept buyers on the sidelines. Against this uncertain background, Harris Associates Focused Value Fund's total return for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 1.02%, based on the net asset value of Class A shares. Performance trailed the fund's benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which returned 3.44% for the period, and the 3.46% return on Morningstar's Large Value Funds category. Consumer-related, energy and defense issues aided performance The fund's consumer stocks produced favorable results despite weakness in the sector. Attractive new products, the continued popularity of its DeWalt tool brand, and tight cost controls helped boost earnings at Black and Decker Corp. TJX Cos., whose Marshalls and T.J. Maxx chains sell department store overstocks at discounted prices, also contributed. Rising prices for oil and especially for natural gas benefited Burlington Resources. Strong defense spending, increased aerospace manufacturing and a management shake-up helped results at Raytheon, as did the company's decision to terminate its involvement with the utility industry. Financial and healthcare holdings disappointed Concern about higher interest rates pressured financial issues as the period progressed. Slackening mortgage demand undercut earnings expectations at Washington Mutual, but the company's retail bank continues to perform well and we believe the shares still appear attractive. In healthcare, shares of Omnicare, which provides pharmaceutical services to nursing homes and retirees of major corporations, slid despite strong fundamentals. Telecom and technology showed mixed results First Data Corporation, which processes credit card transactions, saw volumes rise with expanding economic activity and a series of acquisitions. But SunGard Data Systems lagged when the securities firms it is targeting as customers for its software and processing solutions were slow to invest in new technology. Company-specific factors also affected performance We eliminated grocery chain Kroger, which faces intense competition from Wal-Mart and club stores, in favor of more attractive opportunities. Problems in Time Warner's AOL division have obscured the company's overall strength, but shares recovered some of the ground lost earlier in the period. A recent addition to the fund, Hospira, which specializes in the growing area of injectable drug delivery systems, rose following its spin-off from Abbott Labs. Value discipline remains the fund's focus We took advantage of volatility in the retail sector to purchase shares of apparel maker Liz Claiborne. This well-managed company has succeeded in a capricious industry by limiting its fashion risk, by absorbing smaller brand lines and selling their products through an established distribution system. We also added AutoNation, which sells automotive parts, used cars and several brands of new cars through a network of dealerships. High gas prices drove investors away for a time; that short-term reaction allowed us to establish a position in this high-quality company while it was selling well below our estimate of its potential value. Recently the markets have been stuck in neutral. However, valuation levels remain fairly high compared to a year ago. For that reason, we expect returns to be relatively modest over the next several months, especially as the presidential election plays out. We believe the portfolio retains solid appreciation potential and we may use possible price increases to lock in profits. At the same time, we will be looking for opportunities among companies whose valuations suffer in a cyclical downturn or those experiencing short-term problems that we think the market has treated too harshly. 5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harris Associates Focused Value Fund -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investment Results through June 30, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance in Perspective The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed. The fund's total return for the period shown below appears with and without sales charges and includes fund expenses and fees. An index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged and does not have expenses that affect the results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Investors paused to reassess valuations after last year's powerful rally, while worrisome events overseas also put a brake on stock prices. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Class A shares of Harris Associates Large Cap Value Fund provided a total return of 3.10% at net asset value. These results trailed the fund's benchmark for the period, with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 3.94%. The average return on the funds in Morningstar's Large Blend Funds category was 2.78%. Housing, energy, leisure and defense holdings made solid contributions Mortgage insurer MGIC Investment Corporation, rebounded as interest rates rose and homeowners held onto their mortgages rather than refinance, reversing earlier trends. Masco Corporation, a diversified manufacturer of home improvement and building products, rode strong waves of new home construction and remodeling of existing houses. Rising energy prices, especially for natural gas, benefited Burlington Resources. The improving economy and job creation encouraged leisure expenditures, benefiting cruise-ship operator Carnival Corporation. Major defense contractor Raytheon, a relatively new addition to the portfolio, saw increases in its government and aerospace businesses. Raytheon also made strategic management changes and terminated its unproductive involvement in the utility industry. Several stocks hit price targets We took profits in Cendant, whose travel and real estate businesses flourished along with the housing boom. When their valuations met our targets, we also eliminated newspaper publisher Gannett; ADP, which processes business payrolls; and household products giant Colgate Palmolive. Some consumer, healthcare, and media issues disappointed Kraft Foods continued to face tough competition from private-label brands and rising costs. Although shares of Home Depot also lagged, the company continues to build greater efficiencies into its business. Shares of McDonald's rose modestly, despite the loss of key management figures. One of the worst performers was Bristol-Myers Squibb, which struggled to overcome regulatory questions concerning its inventory accounting, although we think the stock is attractively valued currently. Comcast fell on fears that its bid to acquire Disney was excessive; the bid was terminated but shares have not recovered despite what we see as inherent strengths and a strong business strategy. Turmoil in the broadcast, cable and advertising industries hurt Liberty Media, TimeWarner, Viacom, and The Interpublic Group. We believe the economic recovery will eventually benefit these media companies. Washington Mutual fell late in the period Long-time holding Washington Mutual fell in late June following management's cautious forecast for the company's mortgage business, which faces reduced activity due to higher interest rates. The company's retail banking operation, however, continues to perform well, and the value of that component alone supports a higher stock price, in our opinion. Also in the financial sector, we added Citigroup, based on our assessment of its valuation and strong positioning for growth in emerging markets. Good return potential remains for carefully selected stocks We were not surprised that returns on stocks were generally muted in the first half of the year, as many stocks had reached levels that we believed approximated their fair value and interest rates were on the rise. Looking ahead, we believe stocks are unlikely to repeat the strong gains of 2003 in the near future. However, we continue to emphasize underperforming areas like media, healthcare, and some consumer stocks, where we think the long-term dynamics are more favorable than the market's present view. 7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harris Associates Large Cap Value Fund -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investment Results through June 30, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance in Perspective The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed. The fund's total return for the period shown below appears with and without sales charges and includes fund expenses and fees. An index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged and does not have expenses that affect the results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Investors would incur transaction costs and other expenses if they purchased the securities necessary to match the index.

For the six-month period, Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund (formerly CDC Nvest Star Small Cap Fund) returned 4.59%, based on the net asset value of Class A shares. For the same period the return on the Russell 2000 Index and the Russell 2000 Value Index were 6.76% and 7.83%, respectively, and the Morningstar Small Cap Growth Fund category had an average return of 4.09%. Bear in mind that effective March 1, 2004, the fund changed from its Star format, with multiple subadvisors, to its present format and the portfolio has changed significantly. As the new, sole subadvisor, we take the position that we cannot predict what the market or the economy will do so we construct a portfolio of individual companies that we believe will do well over time. Rather than trying to identify sectors that we think will do well and searching within that group, we start with a set of attributes: companies with prospects for improving profit margins; companies we believe to be valued at a discount to their net asset value; and companies with an attractive dividend yield and what we determine to be minimal risk. Not all the companies in the portfolio have all these characteristics, but each was purchased at what we regard as a discount to its intrinsic value. Price volatility may create buying opportunities We are structured to look for opportunities when volatile markets bring prices down to attractive levels. For example, we screen for companies trading below their book value, or all securities trading below a certain price per share. We also look for secular trends. Energy resources and healthcare are two of the areas we currently like most. Names that have done well for the fund during the brief period since we became sole manager include Mandalay Resort Group, which we began selling at a profit when purchase plans were announced by hotel-casino operator MGM Mirage. The fund has also done well with Quicksilver Resources, a natural gas company. Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, a maker of specialty steel, is benefiting from lower costs and increasing demand for its unique products. Technology sell-off viewed without sentiment When Kana Software warned that "significant deals" had failed to close, we began to sell off the stock. However, when another software company, Reynolds & Reynolds (R&R), warned of an impending shortfall in earnings, we sold a third of the position. We are uncomfortable with the increased uncertainty, but we continue to like R&R, which we believe has a strong balance sheet, solid market share and is attractively valued. We stood firm when escalating energy and raw materials costs caused GrafTech International to miss its earnings targets. This niche company, which manufactures graphite and carbon electrodes and cathodes, enjoys a virtual monopoly in its market and they are raising prices without losing business. Although we are not adding to it, we also are not selling any of the stock. Outlook for stocks is positive As long as the economy continues to maintain its current strength, we believe there is upward potential for stock prices for the balance of 2004 and into 2005. We don't think the market is overvalued, especially in terms of where interest rates are currently. Unless there is a dramatic increase in inflation that is not accompanied by higher earnings estimates, we view the risk/reward potential of stock prices as favorable. Moreover, we believe most of the companies the fund holds have solid business prospects and good valuations. If terrorism or other factors disrupt the economy, we believe the characteristics of the companies represented in the fund's portfolio should provide downside support as well as upside potential for the long term. 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investment Results through June 30, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance in Perspective The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed.

Large-cap stocks also began to outperform stocks of smaller companies in the second quarter, as the risk-taking fervor displayed in 2003 appeared to abate. Higher-risk companies that had been beaten down in the market slide of 1999 through 2002 became less attractive than quality companies with sustained, rising earnings trends - stocks that are the mainstay of Westpeak Capital Growth Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the total return on Class A shares of the fund was 0.46% at net asset value. The fund's results trailed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 2.74% for the period, and the average return on Morningstar's Large Growth Fund category, which was 2.42%. Energy stocks advanced, financial stocks retreated Energy stocks benefited from speculation and worries about diminishing supplies due to events in the Middle East. Companies that own large reserves of oil and gas performed well, for the most part, and the fund benefited from its emphasis on these companies. However, our underweight position in oil services relative to the benchmark detracted from performance. Although the prospect of rising interest rates hurt financially sensitive stocks, especially during the second quarter, the fund has benefited from its position in New Century Financial. This mortgage lender has been in the portfolio since last year, and it benefited when low interest rates created a home equity financing boom. However, we have been gradually reducing this position as we trim the fund's exposure to financial services. Medical products companies were positive We purchased shares of Apogent Technologies last year and sold them at a profit shortly after the first quarter of 2004. This manufacturer of medical supplies and diagnostic equipment performed well, but then slid in May and June. Another medical products company, Becton, Dickinson & Co., remains in the fund. We have held this profitable company since 2002 and it has performed well for the fund. Technology generally suffered Technology stocks in general have been hurt this year as investors became more cautious and some companies announced slower-than-expected sales. The worst performing stock in the portfolio during the period was Intel Corp. The fund has owned this renowned semiconductor manufacturer for several years. Although the stock performed poorly for the period, it did better than the industry average and we believe it remains attractive relative to its peers. However, the share price of QLogic Corp., a semiconductor manufacturer, fell steadily after we purchased it last year and continued to fall after we sold the stock in March. We also sold SPX Corp. on weakness when this technical and industrial products company announced it would fall short of profit forecasts. Market outlook continues to be mixed Many market participants had hoped second-quarter results would help stocks break out of the trading range in which they've been stuck this year, but a steady march of earnings disappointments and profit warnings have done little to lure buyers. In addition to financial and energy stocks, the utilities and consumer discretionary sectors have all struggled, although the fund has relatively little exposure to the latter industries. As we enter the third quarter, the fund's greatest emphasis is on consumer staples - products and services that people are likely to buy regardless of the economy - including drug companies, food and beverages, grocery stores, home products, and medical products and services. We continue to downplay the consumer discretionary area, notably the specialty retail area, in an effort to maintain a portfolio that emphasizes quality earnings that are as predictable as possible in a volatile environment. 11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Westpeak Capital Growth Fund -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investment Results through June 30, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance in Perspective The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed.

38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes To Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 (unaudited) 1. Organization. CDC Nvest Funds Trust I, CDC Nvest Funds Trust II and CDC Nvest Funds Trust III (the "Trusts" and each a "Trust") are organized as Massachusetts business trusts. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. Each Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series (individually, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds"). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the equity funds of the Trusts; the financial statements of the other Funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following Funds are included in this report: CDC Nvest Funds Trust I: CGM Advisor Targeted Equity Fund (the "Targeted Equity Fund") Hansberger International Fund (the "International Fund"), formerly CDC Nvest Star International Fund Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund (the "Small Cap Value Fund"), formerly CDC Nvest Star Small Cap Fund Westpeak Capital Growth Fund (the "Capital Growth Fund") CDC Nvest Funds Trust II: Harris Associates Large Cap Value Fund (the "Large Cap Value Fund"), formerly Harris Associates Growth and Income Fund CDC Nvest Funds Trust III: Harris Associates Focused Value Fund (the "Focused Value Fund") Each Fund offers Class A, Class B, and Class C shares. Targeted Equity Fund and Large Cap Value Fund also offer Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front end sales charge of 5.75%. Class B shares do not pay a front end sales charge, but pay a higher ongoing distribution fee than Class A shares for eight years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares), and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if those shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Class C shares do not pay a front end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares and pay a higher ongoing distribution fee than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year. Prior to February 1, 2004 a 1% front end sales charge was imposed on Class C shares. Class Y shares do not pay a front end sales charge, a CDSC or distribution fees. They are intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $1,000,000. 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), and 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. Security Valuation. Equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market price on the basis of valuations furnished to the Fund by a pricing service which has been authorized by the Board of Trustees. The pricing service provides the last reported sale price for securities listed on an applicable securities exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market system, or, if no sale was reported and in the case of over-the-counter securities not so listed, the last reported bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the NASDAQ National Market. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available (other than short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of less than sixty days) are generally valued at market price on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service authorized 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. Short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of less than sixty days are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. All other securities and assets are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund's investment adviser and subadviser, pursuant to the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. 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. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when recovery of such taxes is uncertain. 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. 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 arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. 39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes To Financial Statements (continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 (unaudited) 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, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities at the end of the fiscal periods, resulting from changes in exchange rates. d. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The International Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage the Fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund's investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the Fund has committed to buy or sell, if any, is shown in the portfolio composition under the caption "Forward Currency Contracts Outstanding." These amounts represent the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. All contracts are "marked-to-market" daily at the applicable exchange rates and any 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. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trusts treat each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code 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. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made. 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. f. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as distributions from real estate investment trusts, net operating losses, non-deductible expenses, foreign currency transactions and gains realized from passive foreign investment companies. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be ordinary income for tax purposes. g. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is each Fund's policy that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Each Fund's subadviser (adviser for the Targeted Equity Fund) is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral is at all times 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. 3. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) were as follows: Fund Purchases Sales ---- --------- ----- Targeted Equity Fund $1,066,862,548 $1,134,794,195 International Fund 85,590,997 89,219,902 Focused Value Fund 54,670,572 39,543,192 Large Cap Value Fund 51,107,227 61,200,743 Small Cap Value Fund 141,226,384 151,085,315 Capital Growth Fund 49,558,774 56,553,221 4.

Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of CDC IXIS Advisers, CDC IXIS Asset Management Distributors, L.P., CDC IXIS North America, CIS or its affiliates. Each other Trustee receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $45,000 and meeting attendance fees of $4,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees attended. Each committee member receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $7,000 while each committee chairman receives a retainer fee (beyond the $7,000 fee) at the annual rate of $5,000. The retainer fees assume four Board or Committee meetings per year; Trustees are compensated for each additional Board or Committee meeting in excess of four per year, at the rate of $4,500 and $1,750, respectively. These fees are allocated to the various series of the Trust based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each Fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings. Effective July 1, 2004, each independent Trustee will receive, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $50,000 and meeting attendance fees of $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends. Each committee chairman will receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $7,000. Each Trustee will be compensated $3,750 per Committee meeting that he or she attends. A deferred compensation plan (the "Plan") is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Each participating Trustee will receive an amount equal to the value that such deferred compensation would have been had it been invested in the Trust or certain other series of the Trusts on the normal payment date. Deferred amounts remain in the Trust until distributed in accordance with the Plan. f. Publishing Services. CIS performs certain desktop publishing services for the Funds. Fees for these services are presented in the Statements of Operations as shareholder reporting. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, amounts paid to CIS as compensation for these services were as follows: Publishing Fund Services Fee ---- ------------ Targeted Equity Fund $127 International Fund 395 Focused Value Fund 127 Large Cap Value Fund 99 Small Cap Value Fund 462 Capital Growth Fund 99 g. Redemption fees. Shareholders of Class A shares of Targeted Equity Fund, Focused Value Fund and International Fund will be charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeem, including redeeming by exchange, Class A shares of these 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" (FIFO) method is used to determine the holding period of redeemed or exchanged shares, which means that if you 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 broken out on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. 43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes To Financial Statements (continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 (unaudited) 5. Line of Credit. Each Fund along with certain other funds that comprise the CDC Nvest Funds Trusts participate in a $50,000,000 committed line of credit provided by IBT. Advances under the Agreement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes. Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at a rate tied to one of several short-term rates that may be selected by the lender from time to time. In addition, the Funds are charged a facility fee equal to 0.10% per annum on the unused portion of the line of credit. The annual cost of maintaining the line of credit and the facility fee is apportioned pro rata among the participating funds. There were no borrowings as of or during the six months ended June 30, 2004. 6. Security Lending. Each Fund has entered into an agreement with IBT, as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The Funds receive fees for lending their securities. The market value of securities on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Funds with respect to such loans at June 30, 2004, were as follows: Market Value of Value of Collateral Fund Securities on Loan Received ---- ------------------ ------------------- Targeted Equity Fund $80,307,478 $83,018,909 International Fund 19,914,076 20,789,954 Focused Value Fund 22,385,332 23,125,833 Large Cap Value Fund 36,206,173 37,361,687 Small Cap Value Fund 16,248,997 16,868,041 Capital Growth Fund 7,845,514 8,065,092 7. Expense Reductions and Contingent Expense Obligations. Each Fund has entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. Amounts earned by the Funds under such agreements are presented as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, expenses were reduced under these agreements as follows: Fund Reductions ---- ---------- Targeted Equity Fund $404,500 International Fund 13,647 Focused Value Fund 7,777 Large Cap Value Fund 9,870 Small Cap Value Fund 33,515 Capital Growth Fund 14,290 CDC IXIS Advisers has given binding undertakings to certain Funds to defer its management fees and, if necessary, bear certain expenses associated with these Funds to limit their operating expenses. These undertakings are in effect until the dates under "Expiration of Waiver" below and will be reevaluated on an annual basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, certain class level expenses have been reimbursed as follows: Large Cap Value Fund $289,886. If in the following fiscal year the actual operating expenses of a Fund that previously received a deferral or reimbursement are less than the expense limit for that Fund, the Fund is required to pay an amount of additional expense that is the lower of the difference between the expense limit and the actual amount of fees previously waived or expenses reimbursed. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the investment adviser has been reimbursed by Focused Value Fund for $12,846 of expenses deferred in 2003. At June 30, 2004, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets and amounts subject to possible reimbursement under the expense limitation agreements were as follows:

8. Concentration of Risk. Focused Value Fund is a non-diversified Fund. Compared with diversified mutual funds, the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular company. Therefore, the Fund's returns could be significantly affected by the performance of any one of the small number of stocks in its portfolio. International Fund had the following geographic concentrations in excess of 10% of its total net assets at June 30, 2004: France 13.9%, Japan 17.9%, and United Kingdom 19.2%. The Fund pursues its objective by investing in foreign securities. There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities that are in addition to the usual risks inherent in domestic investments. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political or economic developments and the possible imposition of currency exchange blockages or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. 44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes To Financial Statements (continued) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 (unaudited) 9.
