What You Should Know:

The fund invests in a small number of securities, which may result in greater volatility than more diversified funds. 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

Stock prices fell in value across the board in 2008 as financial markets deteriorated, credit markets froze, unemployment climbed, home prices collapsed, oil prices first soared and then plummeted, and consumer spending stalled. The broad-based S&P 500 Index posted its sharpest decline since 1937 and the picture was even bleaker outside of the United States.

CGM Advisor Targeted Equity Fund returned -38.36% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.06 in dividends and $0.44 in capital gains reinvested. For the same period, the fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned -37.00% and the average fund in Morningstar’s Large Growth category returned -40.67%.

WHAT WAS THE FUND’S RESPONSE TO THIS VOLATILITY?

During the first half of 2008, the fund was positioned to benefit from anticipated strength in emerging market economies, with sizable investments in energy stocks, metals, and ADRs (American Depositary Receipts). We largely eliminated these positions during the second half of the year when emerging market economies were negatively impacted by the global recession. By year end, the portfolio was concentrated in financial stocks and consumer staples, which we believed would not be adversely impacted by global economic weakness.

WHICH STOCKS WERE THE FUND’S WORST PERFORMERS IN 2008?

The most sizeable loss the fund sustained occurred in Brazil’s state-run oil company, Petroleo Brasileiro (better known as Petrobras). One of the few oil and gas companies to show significant growth in production, Petrobras also has the most favorable exploration and production prospects. However, the drop in oil prices, from a high of nearly $150 a barrel in July to about $40 a barrel by year end, sharply reduced the company’s earnings outlook and the stock price fell.

Ford Motor Company was another detractor. Although Ford has taken constructive steps aimed at improving profits and increasing market share, the dramatic decline in automobile and truck demand during the second half of 2008 had a severely negative impact on the price of the stock.

Shares of JPMorgan Chase also plunged as the financial giant experienced a considerable breakdown in mortgage loans. We believe the company, under the leadership of Jamie Dimon, will eventually be one of America’s leading banks, but the weak economy and severe housing deflation are likely to defer meaningful progress until 2010.

We sold all three positions.

WHICH STOCKS OR STRATEGIES HELPED?

MasterCard, one of the two leading transaction processors in the credit card industry, was modestly positive. The company benefited from a growth in credit card lending in foreign markets, as well as a reduction in marketing and overhead expenditures. We sold the stock early in the year before the major market decline in financials. By year-end we had also added a number of companies with limited economic sensitivity. We expect these stocks to profit from positive company fundamentals going forward.

By year-end 2008 one of the fund’s largest positions was CVS Caremark Corporation, a major integrated pharmacy services provider. The company is benefiting from consolidation in the drug store business as well as from its entry into the pharmacy benefit business. Another positive holding for the fund was Philip Morris International, which was spun off from Altria in March of 2008. Based in Switzerland, the company is benefiting from rising cigarette consumption in international markets as well as favorable acquisitions.

WHAT LIES AHEAD IN 2009?

A number of factors make a case for economic recovery, including the much-anticipated economic stimulus package and greater confidence in the credit markets, but these are uncharted waters. We believe the fund’s overall defensive posture should help protect it from further market declines near term. Longer term, we believe our emphasis on established companies with superior growth potential should position the fund for good upside performance.

PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE

The charts comparing the fund’s performance to an index provide 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.

What You Should Know:

The fund invests in a small number of securities, which may result in greater price volatility than more diversified funds. Value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall market during any given period. Investing in mid-cap companies may involve greater risk than investing in larger companies since mid-cap companies tend to be more susceptible to adverse business events or economic downturns, are less liquid and more thinly traded and are subject to greater price volatility.

Management Discussion

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, Delafield Select Fund* provided a total return of -38.06%, based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.01 in reinvested dividends. For the same 12 months, the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index, returned -36.79%, while the average performance of the funds in Morningstar’s Mid-Cap Value category was -36.77%.

The fund’s philosophy is to maintain a concentrated portfolio of value-oriented stocks constructed “bottom up” rather than “top down.” We use detailed internal analysis to select a few securities we believe are attractively priced and likely to grow over time. Given the severity of the current economy, we have been focusing increasingly on companies with good balance sheets and strong free cash flows. (Free cash flow is the amount of cash a company has after paying its expenses.) Companies with above-average leverage need ample free cash to meet their liquidity needs.

WHICH COMPANIES PROVED DISAPPOINTING?

One example was Flextronics International, which provides facilities and support services to original equipment manufacturers worldwide. The company’s clients include Microsoft, which contracted with them to build the Zune MP3 players, Xboxes and related accessories. Early in the fourth quarter Flextronics was trading at nearly $7 a share. The rapid decline in consumer spending, especially in the electronics area, drove shares down to about $1.50. We took advantage of the price decline to add to the fund’s position because of the company’s strong cash flow and market position. Shares of KapStone Paper & Packaging also declined. The firm’s extra-strength papers are used to make sturdy leaf and trash bags, as well as bags to hold charcoal, pet foods and cement. Their business has been growing, but when the economy ground to a virtual halt in the fourth quarter of 2008, KapStone’s customers began drawing down inventory to trim expenses. Although the firm’s earnings will probably fall below projections for the year, we added to the position as the price of shares declined, in anticipation of a recovery down the line.

WHICH STOCKS WERE STRONGER?

Two of the fund’s best performers, on a relative basis, were Barnes Group and j2 Global Communications. An aerospace and industrial components manufacturer, Barnes has done a good job improving profitability in their manufacturing business and we expect their underperforming distribution business to improve after certain unprofitable entities in the U.K are closed. However, near-term results are likely to be weak due to the slumping economy. We initiated the position when shares sold off sharply during the fourth quarter. California-based j2 provides internet-based communications systems to businesses worldwide. Its most popular service, called “eFax,” allows users to send and receive faxes via the internet. The firm has a dominant market share in this young industry, which provides a high return on capital. The business is protected by patents and by its ability to acquire new subscribers at a low cost. They have no debt and have been buying back their own shares.

WHAT’S YOUR OUTLOOK?

We think the economy could remain weak into 2010 and that stocks will remain volatile. If the credit markets begin to stabilize, we expect confidence to return, helping stocks resume a more normal trading pattern.

* As of the close of business on September 26, 2008 the fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Reich & Tang Concentrated Portfolio L.P. (the “Predecessor Fund”) (see Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements). For periods prior to the inception of Class A shares (September 29, 2008) performance shown is based upon Predecessor Fund returns restated to reflect the expenses and sales loads of Class A shares.

What You Should Know:

Foreign securities involve risks not associated with domestic securities, such as currency fluctuations, differing political and economic conditions and different accounting standards. Growth stocks can be more sensitive to market movements because their prices are based in part on future expectations. Value stocks may fall out of favor and underperform the overall market during any given period.

Management Discussion

Hansberger International Fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was -47.63%, based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.24 (including $0.09 that has been designated as a return of capital distribution) in dividends and $0.68 in capital gains reinvested during the period. By comparison, the fund’s benchmarks, the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI ACWI ex USA, returned -43.06% and -45.24%, respectively, expressed in U.S. dollars. The average performance of the fund’s Morningstar peer group, the Foreign Large Blend category, was -43.99%. Neither the fund nor its benchmarks include U.S. stocks and the Morningstar category has only limited exposure to domestic equities.

In a complete reversal of 2007, international markets — particularly emerging market countries — fell off sharply in 2008, underperforming the S&P 500 Index, which returned -37.00% for the year. Russia, India, Brazil and China were among the weakest markets, and U.S. investors who owned internationally diversified portfolios were also negatively impacted by the strengthening U.S. dollar.

Two teams of Hansberger’s international equity professionals manage the fund. One team focuses on value and the other seeks growth potential. In general, value investors fared better than growth investors in 2008.

HOW DID THE VALUE TEAM FARE?

In this year’s challenging environment, the value portfolio’s exposure to economically sensitive sectors posted sharp losses. In energy, Norwegian oil services company Subsea 7 fell sharply as the price of oil slumped in the second half to its lowest level since 2004. Materials investments also hurt performance; steel company ArcelorMittal and nickel producer MMC Norilsk Nickel posted sharply negative returns. All three stocks remain in the portfolio in anticipation of improving returns.

Its overweight position in Japan had a positive impact on the fund, as returns were boosted by a strengthening yen. Specific Japanese holdings that helped performance included Shionogi & Co, a pharmaceutical company, and Sumitomo Trust and Banking, one of Japan’s largest financial institutions. Both stocks remain in the portfolio.

WHAT ABOUT THE FUND’S GROWTH PORTFOLIO?

After strong performance in 2007, the growth portfolio also endured a difficult year. Energy was a key detractor, with the portfolio’s holdings in oil, natural gas and nuclear energy companies underperforming. Financials were disappointing as well. Holdings such as Austria’s Erste Bank and the National Bank of Greece declined as a result of their exposure to Eastern Europe. Both holdings were sold during the year. Consumer discretionary stocks also hurt relative performance. Being underweight in defensive sectors, such as utilities and consumer staples, hurt performance.

On a positive note, the portfolio’s holdings in information technology and telecommunications services did well. French internet and telephone company Iliad SA was a strong contributor late in the year, rebounding from a sharp drop in September and early October.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR 2009?

While there may be due cause for pessimism about the future for international equity markets given the many negatives that surfaced in 2008, we believe there are also reasons for optimism. Many of the key variables for favorable equity markets are already visible, including low interest rates, moderating inflation and attractive equity valuations. While the near-term pace of economic growth has slowed markedly, we believe the long-term outlook for many economies — especially the emerging markets of China, India and Brazil — are still very promising. Historically, economic forecasts start improving before corporate earnings follow suit. We believe earnings growth should eventually flow through from aggressive monetary and fiscal stimuli currently in place. While downside risk is still possible in the form of a continuation of poor corporate news flows and further earnings downgrades, we think 2009 may be closer to a cyclical trough in corporate earnings rather than to a peak.

Management Discussion

SPECIAL NOTICE

At their meeting on February 6, 2009, the Natixis Funds Board of Trustees voted to liquidate Harris Associates Focused Value Fund. After extensive analysis, the Trustees concluded that this fund’s small asset level does not provide the scale needed to remain viable for shareholders. The sale of the fund’s assets and the corresponding liquidating distributions will be completed on or about April 17, 2009.

The following is a discussion of the factors that materially affected the fund’s performance during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. Because the fund is being liquidated, the discussion does not include forward looking comments.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM IN THIS VOLATILE MARKET?

Last year’s steep market decline did not discriminate in terms of company quality or size. Stocks of many large, established corporations with strong balance sheets and leading industry positions fell alongside smaller, less-well-financed issues. The year’s disappointing returns for Harris Associates Focused Value Fund demonstrate the impact of the period’s widespread market weakness. Its sizeable exposure to financial stocks, as well as some holdings in the technology and consumer sectors, caused the fund’s performance to lag its benchmark and its Morningstar peer group. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, Class A shares of the fund returned -47.69% at net asset value, assuming reinvestment of $0.15 in capital gains during the year. For the same period, the fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned -37.00%, while the average return on the funds in Morningstar’s Large Blend category was -37.79%.

WHAT PART DID ENERGY STOCKS PLAY?

We were correct in our long-held view that steadily rising prices for oil and gas were not sustainable. When energy prices plunged in the second half of 2008, the fund made up some of the ground it lost in the first half, when the fund was underweight in this sector. However, in the fourth quarter, we added some energy holdings as stock prices fell faster than prices of the underlying commodities. National-Oilwell Varco, which delivers oilfield services, and XTO Energy, an exploration and production company, made small, positive contributions during the closing weeks of 2008. These initial positions reflect our shifting outlook for the energy sector and our respect for their impressive management teams and history of wise use of capital.

WHAT ABOUT FINANCIAL AND TECH STOCKS?

Most of the fund’s shortfall during 2008 occurred in the battered financial sector, as the credit crisis pressured a long list of companies. Shares of Merrill Lynch had fallen sharply before its proposed purchase by Bank of America. Troubled mutual fund company Legg Mason also saw its shares decline during the period, but we think management addressed these problems effectively and the shares regained some lost ground late in the year. Another mutual fund company, Franklin Resources, moved higher after we purchased shares late in the year. Franklin is a well-run company with strong mutual fund brands both domestically and abroad. The firm’s balance sheet also includes considerable cash.

National Semiconductor fell amid a sagging market for its analog chips, which are used in high volume applications like phones and music players. The company has sizeable net cash on its books and management is buying back shares, which currently trade at a discount to the sector. Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide also fell. With hindsight, we were early in this purchase, given the economic slowdown, but Starwood has good cash flow from its franchisees and such strong hotel brands as Westin, Sheraton and Le Meridien.

Management Discussion

Stocks across the equity spectrum felt shockwaves from the economic storm that buffeted markets in 2008. Many large, well-capitalized companies with solid finances and entrenched industry positions fell as steeply as lower quality shares. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, Class A shares of Harris Associates Large Cap Value Fund returned -40.45% at net asset value, assuming $0.13 in dividends reinvested during the period. These results trailed the fund’s benchmark and its Morningstar peer group. The Russell 1000 Value Index returned -36.85%, while the average return on the funds in Morningstar’s Large Blend category was -37.79% for the 12-month period.

WHICH STOCKS HELPED OR HURT PERFORMANCE?

We steered clear of some financial stocks that were especially poor performers — names like Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and AIG. Although fund holdings JP Morgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon and credit card issuer Capital One Financial were all battered, they held up better than the sector as a whole. Merrill Lynch teetered on extinction before Bank of America agreed to acquire it, and American Express declined when its bad debt reserves proved inadequate. Shares of troubled mutual fund company Legg Mason were down sharply during the period, but we think they have turned a corner. Our level of concern about financial issuers generally has diminished, as many companies are selling at historically low valuations even though many are in a repair mode.

Some of the industrial stocks we selected held up well. Transportation giant Union Pacific, which is restructuring, declined less than its sector, and diversified tool maker Illinois Tool Works contributed positively. We purchased General Dynamics late in the year, and it too was helpful. As a group, our consumer discretionary holdings were modestly positive, relative to the benchmark. We took sizeable profits in McDonald’s and deployed these assets into fresh commitments. Hotel chains Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide and Marriott International remained under pressure, but we view their rebound potential as significant in a recovery.

WHICH SECTORS WERE MOST INFLUENCIAL?

Energy and technology were primarily responsible for the fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark. We had downplayed energy while oil and gas prices were surging in the first half of 2008, although that helped comparative returns after energy prices peaked in July and then plummeted. Late in the year we made a series of opportunistic purchases of energy shares, including Apache Corp., National-Oilwell Varco and Williams Cos., in hopes of capitalizing on valuations that reflected only worst-case scenarios.

As the economy slowed markedly, we believed large technology companies with reasonable valuations and solid balance sheets should provide some stability. However, fund technology holdings Intel, Dell and Texas Instruments fell as sharply as shares of mortgage companies and home builders, which were at the core of the credit crisis. At year-end, these and other tech giants were trading at discounts that we believed were too great to last long.

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT OUTLOOK?

During bear markets, investors generally see only uncertainty and assume that negative trends will never end. But we believe powerful forces are now at play — unprecedented government action, record low interest rates and more affordable energy — that may stabilize the economy. If signs of an improvement emerge, investors may reallocate some of the vast stores of cash now on the sidelines into equities that are selling well below their potential value if the economy improves. We are currently finding companies trading at less than half of our estimates of their intrinsic value. The potential for appreciation from these depressed levels could be impressive, although it may be a while before valuations begin climbing toward our targets. However, if and when the economic outlook brightens, high-quality, large-cap stocks now available at what look like bargain prices may significantly outstrip returns on higher-risk investments.

What You Should Know:

Investing in small-cap stocks carries special risk, including narrower markets, limited financial and management resources, less liquidity and greater volatility than large company stocks. Value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall market during any given period.

Management Discussion

Stocks in all capitalization ranges lost ground in 2008, as the credit crisis spread and investor confidence crumbled in the face of a deepening recession. Although Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund’s performance was negative for the period, it held up better than its benchmark and a group of comparable funds.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the fund’s total return was -21.11% based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.03 in reinvested capital gains. For the same period, the Russell 2000 Value Index, the fund’s benchmark, returned -28.92%, while the average performance of the funds in Morningstar’s Small Blend category was -36.56%.

WHAT STEPS DID YOU TAKE TO SHELTER THE FUND?

Stock selection was key. In light of the weak economy, we intensified our credit analysis, emphasizing companies we believe are well positioned to renew their debt obligations as they mature. We have been wary of financial stocks due to high debt loads, burgeoning loan losses and concern that the balance sheets of some mortgage companies included what we regard as unacceptable risks. However, avoiding commercial banks was a negative, as investors favored small-cap banks with clean balance sheets and prospects for industry consolidation. We also steered clear of most consumer-related issues, which benefited the fund as consumer spending stalled.

We took substantial profits in energy stocks in the first half of the year, trimming the portfolio’s energy exposure. That move proved positive when collapsing oil and gas prices pulled down energy shares later in 2008. Continental Resources, an exploration company with special expertise in drilling in unconventional formations, and Petrohawk, an onshore U.S. exploration and production company, were both sold at a profit. In materials, Cliffs Natural Resources, a supplier of iron ore and metallurgical coal to the steel industry, was another performance leader. We took profits when shares reached high valuations and then repurchased them when prices declined late in the year. Packaging companies Silgan Holdings, which makes metal and plastic food containers, Pactiv, whose products include Hefty trash bags, and glass container maker Owens-Illinois all benefited from declining material and energy costs.

WHICH POSITIONS HURT PERFORMANCE?

Industrials were the fund’s weakest sector. They had been positive contributors for some time, thanks to expanding global infrastructure, but they ran afoul of 2008’s global economic slowdown. General Cable, which serves utilities and industrial clients, declined sharply. In the consumer arena, we realized losses on the sale of Tempur-Pedic; the firm’s high-end bedding products lost ground as consumers retrenched. However, we continue to hold Pediatrix Medical Group (recently renamed Mednax), operators of hospital-based neonatal intensive care units and anesthesiology practices, even though the value of shares was impacted by lower admissions and a changing mix to more Medicaid patients in a weaker economy.

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT OUTLOOK?

We have reined in the fund’s vulnerability to business cycles through further cutbacks in energy, industrials and financial issues. We are also avoiding vulnerable consumer businesses, including most specialty retail, auto and media stocks. We think pressure will remain on consumer-related businesses until housing prices bottom out. In our opinion, a sustainable rebound is also likely to require more transparency from banks regarding what they own and what it is worth. We believe investors will maintain low risk profiles until the credit markets stabilize, and that the slow process of reducing corporate and personal debt will delay recovery.

Although we expect below-trend growth to continue, we are comfortable that the fund’s current holdings have the potential to perform relatively well even in less-than-ideal circumstances. We also believe that the enormous cash reserves that have accumulated on the sidelines may drive equity prices higher once the outlook improves.

Management Discussion

Although Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund’s results for the two months since its inception were negative, the fund declined less than its benchmark and its Morningstar peer group. Between October 31, 2008 and December 31, 2008, the fund’s total return was -3.75% based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.02 in reinvested dividends. For the same period, the Russell Midcap Value Index returned -5.73%, while the average performance of funds in Morningstar’s Mid-Cap Value category was -4.22%. Please bear in mind that this brief period was one of the most volatile in history.

WHICH STOCKS OR STRATEGIES HELPED OR HURT THE FUND?

One positive factor was that the fund was underweight in poorly performing financial stocks relative to the benchmark. Those financial stocks we did hold – mostly property casualty insurers, insurance brokers and select regional banks – performed relatively well. We also enjoyed good results from some container and packaging stocks that benefited from the decline in energy costs and raw materials in the latter part of 2008. Owens-Illinois and Pactiv are two examples. Owens makes glass bottles for beer and other beverages. Pactiv makes the Hefty line of trash bags and other plastic products. AutoZone, a do-it-yourself retailer of auto parts and accessories, also proved positive because we bought shares at low prices when the market was correcting. All three remain in the portfolio. We avoided auto manufacturers, homebuilders and most apparel retailers, all of which were casualties during the period.

Sectors were mixed during the period but, as you might expect, defensive stocks did slightly better. We did not have much exposure to utilities – a traditionally defensive area – because we felt that utility company earnings would be under pressure from slowing energy usage in a weak economy, as well as from pressure on regulated returns in a low interest-rate environment. We lost some ground in this area, and the one utility we did own, Calpine Corporation, proved disappointing. The fact that it does not pay a dividend may have made the stock lose favor with nervous investors. However, we continue to hold Calpine due to the attractiveness of its power generation assets, which are fueled by natural gas or geothermal energy.

HOW DID YOU RESPOND TO THE ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN?

We increased the fund’s exposure to industries we believe are less sensitive to the economy, like consumer staples and healthcare. In addition, the fund’s focus on fundamental research and valuation gives it a defensive bias. Our investment process has always included rigorous review and analysis of the financial condition of each company we consider. Recently we went one step further, digging into the actual debt structure of each investment candidate. Given the stresses on the credit markets, we want to avoid companies that could have difficulty rolling over maturing debt.

High-yielding stocks tend to be regarded as more defensive, but our focus is on each company’s cash flow and return profile that may contribute to long-term appreciation potential rather than on income. Companies with strong cash flows may be less dependent on the credit markets to finance growth, making them attractive in the current market environment.

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT OUTLOOK?

This is an especially difficult time to make projections, given the uncharted waters that lie ahead. We believe this recession may be longer than past recessions, so we are remaining cautious. We expect the markets to remain volatile and we plan to take advantage of periods of weakness, being patient and disciplined with regard to valuation.

We think the prevailing headwind for some time to come will be the de-leveraging cycle, as consumers, banks, hedge funds and others continue to retrench, unwinding costly debt. When a recovery does get underway, we think it is likely to be at a subdued rate.

The table comparing the fund’s performance to an index provides 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.

Growth stocks can be more sensitive to market movements because their values are based on future expectations. Value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall market. Small-cap stocks carry special risks, including narrower markets, limited financial and management resources, less liquidity and greater volatility.

Management Discussion

A pullback in economic growth, rising unemployment, declining corporate profits and a credit crunch sent investors to the sidelines during 2008. For much of the 12-month period, securities with even the slightest amount of risk were sold off and the U.S. equity market posted steep declines. Both growth and value stocks in every asset class — small-, mid-, and large-cap — proved disappointing.

Each of the fund’s four segments is managed using a different discipline, providing investors with exposure to a wide spectrum of investment styles and strategies. BlackRock seeks long-term growth of capital in companies of any size, with an emphasis on those with capitalizations greater than $2 billion. The segment managed by Harris Associates invests primarily in common stocks of large- and mid-cap companies that the manager believes are trading at a substantial discount to their “true business value.” Loomis Sayles manages two segments. One invests in mid-cap growth stocks, and the other focuses on small-cap value stocks.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, Natixis U.S. Diversified Portfolio returned -40.05% based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.42 in reinvested capital gains. The fund underperformed the -37.00% return of the S&P 500 Index and the -36.23% return of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The fund’s return was slightly behind the -39.02% return of the Dow Jones Wilshire 4500 Index and slightly better than the -40.67% average return of the funds in Morningstar’s Large Growth category.

BLACKROCK EMPHASIZED DEFENSIVE SECTORS

Overweight positions in the relatively defensive healthcare and consumer staples sectors benefited performance, as these areas declined less than others during the period. Maintaining an underweight in energy was also helpful during the second half of the year when stock prices in this sector plunged along with oil and gas prices. The segment was also underweight in industrials relative to its benchmark. Two healthcare stocks that contributed to relative performance were Gilead Sciences and Celgene Corporation. Biotechnology companies historically are less influenced by recessions than other businesses. Gilead is developing cures for life-threatening diseases like HIV, and Celgene has developed medicines to treat bone marrow cancer. Google, Hologic and Apple were among the biggest disappointments in this segment. Given their strong business prospects, Google and Apple performed well in 2007 but their share prices fell sharply in 2008 as investor sentiment turned away from stocks that were perceived to carry higher risk. Both companies have dominant brands and strong balance sheets, and they remain in the segment. Hologic, a provider of medical technology used for women’s health needs, declined on concerns that hospitals may reduce capital expenditures in the current economic environment and the stock was sold from this segment.

HARRIS ASSOCIATES FAVORED STOCKS TRADING AT A DISCOUNT

This segment’s investment approach is based on a bottom-up stock selection process in which each stock is evaluated on its own merits. Sector allocation is determined by the stock-selection process. Harris Associates focused on high-quality businesses that were selling at little or no premium to their lower-quality counterparts. Underweight positions in consumer staples and energy detracted from performance, and technology holdings performed poorly. However, stocks in the industrial and financial sectors were helpful, as was this segment’s emphasis on the consumer discretionary sector. One of the segment’s best-performing stocks in the second quarter, Schering-Plough, produced outstanding earnings; revenues on most of its key products beat forecasts, and the firm’s gross margin was higher than expected. Home Depot performed well for much of the year. By controlling inventory and pricing, the company reported better-than-expected earnings during the fourth quarter. Harris Associates’ research determined that Home Depot’s unique position among retailers, strong balance sheet and improving margins were not adequately reflected in its stock price. Pulte Homes rebounded strongly early in the year, making it a top contributor to performance, but the position was eliminated later in the year when conditions in the housing market worsened. Merrill Lynch,

Management Discussion

Dell and Intel had the most negative impact. Merrill Lynch’s shares declined in advance of its acquisition by Bank of America. Upon completion of this acquisition, the segment’s shares of Merrill will be exchanged for shares of the Bank. Dell’s 2008 sales fell in response to the weak macroeconomic environment, which resulted in reduced global spending on technology. Management is now focused on lower-end consumer notebooks. The firm continues to trim expenses and has reduced its workforce in the past several months. Intel had a tough second half in 2008 as economic growth slowed, although it reported increased sales for the third quarter and indicated that global demand for its products remains strong. The company believes it can grow gross margins. Harris Associates regards Intel as an attractively valued company that continues to gain market share.

LOOMIS SAYLES MID-CAP SEGMENT FAVORED DEFENSIVE STOCKS

This segment’s management team began 2008 believing that the United States was in or was about to enter a recession, that earnings expectations were overstated, and that stocks were entering a “bear market.” Based on these assumptions, the segment reduced exposure to cyclical stocks in anticipation of a global economic slowdown and increased defensive investments, such as consumer staples and healthcare. Alpha Natural Resources, the largest producer of metallurgical coal used in steel making, was one of the top performers. We took profits in the stock. Dollar Tree’s growth was also among the segment’s top stocks. The company is an extreme value retailer pricing merchandise at one dollar or less. In a difficult retail environment, Dollar Tree was driven in part by expansion of its customer base to higher-income shoppers. Apollo Group was also among the best performers. It is the largest private institution for post secondary education operating in several states and offering on-line courses through its University of Phoenix. Apollo reported relatively strong earnings and growth in student enrollment. NASDAQ OMX Group, Continental Resources and Kansas City Southern railroads were among the segment’s biggest detractors. NASDAQ was affected by general market activity and increased pricing pressure from competitors, such as the emerging electronic trading platforms. Continental Resources, an oil and gas exploration and production company, has principal operations in areas with shale oil. Because of declining oil prices, the company curtailed its drilling program, lowering its estimated production for 2008 and 2009. Kansas City Southern provides rail transportation in the central and south central United States and Mexico. Because of deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, the railroad industry has seen volumes decline sharply, which cut earnings estimates. All three stocks were sold.

LOOMIS SAYLES SMALL-CAP SEGMENT WAS OPPORTUNISTIC

As the market environment became increasingly volatile in 2008, Loomis took profits on stocks that were approaching their price targets, and added to positions on downswings. By year-end, more than two thirds of the segment’s top 15 stocks were new additions, as a large percentage of the portfolio was turned over to adjust to the dramatic changes in the domestic and global economy. Early in the year, the segment was overweight in consumer staples, utilities and technology. Because of price appreciation (and despite profit-taking), there was an increase in the relative weights of consumer staples and utilities stocks, which contributed to performance. For example, one of the segment’s largest holdings, Spartan Stores, benefited from strong sales of lower-priced, private label grocery products. Monro Muffler was another positive; the company’s repair business prospered as consumers put off buying new cars. Granite Construction stock rose on prospects for new government infrastructure development programs. Assurant Inc. and Wright Express Corporation were among the most disappointing performers. A specialty insurance company, Assurant declined because of slowing growth in its property division and the stock was sold. Wright Express, which provides payment processing services to the vehicle fleet industry, saw its earnings decline because of lower gas and diesel prices. The position was pared back. Technology stocks detracted from performance as the global economy weakened. For defensive reasons, this segment was underweight in economically sensitive areas like producer durables, energy and consumer discretionary. The managers also trimmed materials and processing during the year, and began shifting assets back into the consumer discretionary area late in the period because Loomis expects this sector to perform well early in the economic recovery they see ahead in 2009.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and certain exchange fees and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. In addition, each fund assesses a minimum balance fee of $20 on an annual basis for accounts that fall below the required minimum to establish an account. Certain exemptions may apply. 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 class of fund shares shows the actual account values and actual fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table of 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.

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

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE INITIAL ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR

DELAFIELD SELECT FUND AND VAUGHAN NELSON VALUE OPPORTUNITY FUND

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that both the full Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, initially approve for a two-year term any new investment advisory agreements for a registered investment company, including newly formed funds such as the Delafield Select Fund and the Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund (the “Funds”). The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the proposed investment advisory agreement for the Delafield Select Fund and the proposed investment advisory and subadvisory agreements for the Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund (the “Agreements”) at an in-person meeting held on June 16, 2008. The Delafield Select Fund was organized to acquire all the assets and liabilities of the Reich & Tang Concentrated Portfolio L.P. (the “Predecessor Fund”).

In connection with this review, the Fund management and other representatives of Reich & Tang Asset Management, LLC (“Reich & Tang”), the adviser of the Delafield Select Fund, Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”), the advisor of the Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund and Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (“Vaughan Nelson”) the subadvisor of the Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund (together, the “Advisers”), distributed to the Trustees materials including, among other items, (i) information on the proposed advisory and subadvisory fees and other expenses to be charged to the Funds, including information comparing the Funds’ expenses to those of peer groups of funds and information about the proposed expense caps, (ii) the Funds’ investment objectives and strategies, (iii) the size, education and experience of the Advisers’ investment staffs, (iv) proposed arrangements for the distribution of the Funds’ shares, (v) the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies, information about the Advisers’ performance and (vi) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, each of the Advisers.

In considering whether to initially approve the Agreements, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included the following:

The nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisers and their respective affiliates to the Funds, and the resources to be dedicated to the Funds by the Advisers and their respective affiliates. The Trustees also considered that, with respect to the Predecessor Fund, Reich & Tang had managed the Predecessor Fund since its inception. The Trustees considered not only the advisory and subadvisory services proposed to be provided by the Advisers to the Funds, but also the monitoring and oversight services proposed to be provided to them, as well as the administrative services proposed to be provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates.

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

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the scope of the services to be provided to the Funds under the Agreements seemed consistent with the Funds’ operational requirements, and that the Advisers had the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory and subadvisory services that would be required by the Funds. The Trustees determined that the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided under the Agreements supported approval of the Agreements.

Investment performance of the Funds and the Advisers. Although the Funds had not yet commenced operations and therefore had no investment performance histories, the Trustees did review certain performance results of the Predecessor Fund as compared with various benchmarks for different time periods. The Trustees noted that the Predecessor Fund’s performance compared favorably to relevant benchmarks for the time periods presented and appeared consistent with the Predecessor Fund’s investment objective. Because the Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund had not yet commenced operations, performance information for that Fund was not considered, although the Board considered the performance of other accounts managed by the Advisers.

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

The costs of the services to be provided by the Advisers and their affiliates from their respective relationships with the Funds. Although the Funds have not yet commenced operations at the time of the Trustees’ review of the Agreements, the Trustees reviewed information

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE INITIAL ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR

DELAFIELD SELECT FUND AND VAUGHAN NELSON VALUE OPPORTUNITY FUND

comparing the proposed advisory and subadvisory fees and estimated total expenses of the Funds’ share classes with the fees and expenses of comparable share classes of comparable funds identified by the Advisers. In evaluating the fees charged to comparable accounts, the Trustees considered, among other things, managements’ representations about the differences between managing mutual funds as compared to other types of accounts, including the additional resources required to effectively manage mutual fund assets. In evaluating the Funds’ proposed advisory and subadvisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of each of the Funds. The Trustees also noted that the Funds would have expense caps in place. In addition, the Trustees considered information regarding the administrative and distribution fees to be paid by the Funds to each Adviser’s affiliates.

Because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, historical profitability information with respect to the Funds was not considered. However, the Trustees noted the information provided in court cases in which adviser profitability was an issue, the estimated expense levels of the Funds, and that the Advisers had implemented an expense cap with respect to each Fund.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the advisory and subadvisory fees proposed to be charged to the Funds were fair and reasonable, and supported the approval of the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Advisers may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing the Funds, and whether those economies could be shared with the Funds through breakpoints in their advisory and subadvisory fees or other means. The Trustees noted that the Funds were subject to expense caps. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees considered, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale might be shared with the Funds supported the approval of the Agreements.

The Trustees also considered other factors, including but not limited to, the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their affiliates would provide to the Funds and the potential so-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution and administrative services to the Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Advisers by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the fact that Natixis Advisors’ parent company would benefit from the retention of affiliated advisers. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest. In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders of the Predecessor Fund would be voting to approve the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Delafield Select Fund, and that those shareholders would expect that, assuming the Reorganization were to occur, the Fund would be managed by Reich & Tang.

Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Agreements should be approved.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008

1. Organization. Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, and Natixis Funds Trust III (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 (“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 Trust in multiple series. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to certain equity funds of the Trusts; the financial statements for the other funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

Natixis Funds Trust I:

CGM Advisor Targeted Equity Fund (the “Targeted Equity Fund”)

Hansberger International Fund (the “International Fund”)

Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”)

Natixis U.S. Diversified Portfolio (the “U.S. Diversified Portfolio”)

Natixis Funds Trust II:

Delafield Select Fund (the “Delafield Select Fund”)

Harris Associates Large Cap Value Fund (the “Large Cap Value Fund”)

Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund (the “Value Opportunity Fund”)

Natixis Funds Trust III:

Harris Associates Focused Value Fund (the “Focused Value Fund”)

The Value Opportunity Fund commenced operations on October 31, 2008.

As of the close of business on September 26, 2008, the Delafield Select Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Reich & Tang Concentrated Portfolio L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Predecessor Fund”). Prior to the reorganization, the Delafield Select Fund had no investment operations. See Note 11.

Each Fund offers Class A and Class C shares. Targeted Equity Fund, Delafield Select Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Value Opportunity Fund and U.S. Diversified Portfolio also offer Class Y shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the Prospectus.

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 higher Rule 12b-1 fees 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 higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year. Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Y shares are generally intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Funds’ Prospectus.

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 the subadvisers 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. 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 the subadvisers 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2008

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. All 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 or subadviser 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.

Certain 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. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 79% of the market value of the investments for the International Fund was fair valued pursuant to 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. 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. The International Fund and the U.S. Diversified Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge a Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Funds’ 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 a Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. 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 December 31, 2008, 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2008

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 December 31, 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 twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

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 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 net operating losses, distribution redesignations, distributions from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), 12b-1 fees, wash sales, distributions in excess of current earnings, return of capital distributions, foreign currency transactions and gains realized from passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”). Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income, and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustments, forward contracts marked-to-market, capital loss carryforwards, post-October capital loss deferrals, wash sales, distributions from REITs and gains realized from PFICs. 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 years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:


	2008 Distributions Paid From:						Total
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Return of Capital		Total
Targeted Equity Fund	$	36,994,172	$	2,005,331	$	—	$	38,999,503

U.S. Diversified Portfolio		—		9,399,370		—		9,399,370


	2007 Distributions Paid From:						Total
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Return of Capital		Total
Targeted Equity Fund	$	52,469,601	$	30,072,608	$	—	$	82,542,209
International Fund		6,107,517		15,442,122		—		21,549,639

U.S. Diversified Portfolio		—		7,373,567		—		7,373,567

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

* Some of the losses expiring in 2009 and 2010 were obtained in the Fund’s merger with the Nvest Balanced Fund on June 7, 2003. The losses obtained in this merger are subject to limitations.

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 may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.

As of December 31, 2008, 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. Other. Harris Associates Focused Value Fund received a litigation payment as a result of its participation in a class action lawsuit brought against an issuer of one of the Fund’s holdings. These payments have been included in realized gains in the Statements of Operations.

k. 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 January 1, 2008 or at the commencement of operations for the Delafield Select Fund and the Value Opportunity Fund. 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 Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:

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 are a percentage of the value of shares held) not exceeding what the Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.

f. 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 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.

g. Redemption Fees. Effective June 2, 2008, the redemption fee imposed on Class A and Class Y shares of Targeted Equity Fund, International Fund, Focused Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund was eliminated. Prior to June 2, 2008, shareholders of Class A and Class Y shares of the Funds were charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeemed, including redeeming by exchange, such shares within 60 days of their acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee was deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and was paid to the Funds. The fees were accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

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 Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% 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 12, 2008, each Fund together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $75,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.

On February 6, 2009, the Trustees approved the renewal of the committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Effective March 12, 2009, interest will be 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, will be accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

7. Brokerage Commission Recapture. Each Fund has entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. All amounts rebated by the brokers are returned to the Funds under such agreements and are included in realized gains on investments in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2008, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:


Fund	Rebates
Targeted Equity Fund	$	350,673
International Fund		6,656
Large Cap Value Fund		64
Small Cap Value Fund		50,818
U.S. Diversified Portfolio		75,648

8. Concentration of Risk. Delafield Select Fund and Focused Value Fund (the “Funds”) are non-diversified funds. Compared with diversified mutual funds, the Funds may invest a greater percentage of their assets in a particular company. Therefore, the Funds’ returns could be significantly affected by the performance of any one of the small number of stocks in their portfolios.

9. Shareholders. At December 31, 2008, 3 shareholders individually owned more than 5% of the Delafield Select Fund’s total outstanding shares, representing, in aggregate, 32.57% of the Fund. At December 31, 2008, Natixis US owned shares equating to 94.56% of Value Opportunity Fund’s net assets.

11. Acquisition of Assets. After the close of business on September 26, 2008, the Delafield Select Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 1,755,310 Class Y shares of Delafield Select Fund for Predecessor Fund net assets of $15,341,407, including $880,249 of unrealized appreciation. Prior to the reorganization, the Delafield Select Fund had no investment operations.

12. Subsequent Event. On February 6, 2009, the Board of Trustees approved the liquidation and termination of the Focused Value Fund. It is expected that the sale of the Fund’s assets and the corresponding liquidating distributions to the common shareholders will be completed within 60 days of the date of approval.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees of Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, and Natixis Funds Trust III and Shareholders of CGM Advisor Targeted Equity Fund, Hansberger International Fund, Natixis U.S. Diversified Portfolio, Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund, Delafield Select Fund, Harris Associates Large Cap Value Fund, Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund and Harris Associates Focused Value Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the CGM Advisor Targeted Equity Fund, Hansberger International Fund, Natixis U.S. Diversified Portfolio and Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund, each a series of Natixis Funds Trust I; the Delafield Select Fund, Harris Associates Large Cap Value Fund and the Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund, each a series of Natixis Funds Trust II; and the Harris Associates Focused Value Fund, a series of Natixis Funds Trust III (collectively, the “Funds”), at December 31, 2008, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 12 of the financial statements, on February 6, 2009, the Board of Trustees approved the liquidation and termination of the Focused Value Fund.

What you should know:

Derivatives, primarily futures and forward contracts, generally have implied leverage (a small amount of money to make an investment of greater value). Because of this, the fund’s extensive use of derivatives may magnify any gains or losses on those investments as well as risk to the fund. The fund can invest in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, and political and economic developments.

Management Discussion

The quarter ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most difficult in the history of the financial markets, providing an excellent testing ground for ASG Global Alternatives Fund. The S&P 500 Index dropped 22% and the Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index (a broad measure of commodity prices) lost 34%. Volatility reached record high levels, with the “VIX” (the Chicago Board of Options Volatility Index) breaching 80. In this environment, most hedge funds had negative returns, as reflected in their indexes. For example, returns of the CS/Tremont Hedge Fund Index suggest that October and November were the industry’s third and sixth worst months since the index began in 1994, and Hedge Fund Research’s HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index lost 13% during the period.

FUND OUTPERFORMED BENCHMARK UNDER EXTREME MARKET CONDITIONS

From its inception on September 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the total return of Class A shares of the fund was -2.73% at net asset value, with $0.04 in reinvested dividends. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index, which returned -8.48%. Because the fund emulates the broad exposures of the hedge fund industry, the fund’s return was affected when the markets moved against typical hedge fund positions. However, losses were muted due to use of our technology in an effort to reduce risk.

ASG Global Alternatives Fund uses proprietary technology to replicate the risk exposures of hedge funds with highly liquid futures and forward contracts. The fund typically seeks to hold positions that represent asset classes ranging from U.S. and international stocks and bonds to commodities, interest rates and currencies.

LONG EQUITIES HURT PERFORMANCE; EURODOLLAR FUTURES HELPED

The portfolio took a long (unhedged) equity position because the hedge fund industry was estimated to have a net positive exposure to equity markets. The ensuing sharp decline in equity indexes hurt the fund’s performance. Short (hedged) dollar and short sovereign debt positions also had a negative impact on performance. However, as central banks around the world cut target lending rates, long positions in Eurodollar futures contributed modestly to returns. (Eurodollars are deposits denominated in U.S. dollars held at banks outside the United States.)

The money market portion of the portfolio also added to the fund’s return and outpaced its benchmark, “LIBOR” (the London Interbank Offered Rate), under extremely challenging market conditions. We kept maturities short and quality high during the first part of the period, and extended slightly in December to lock in higher yields.

ACTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT KEPT FUND LOSSES IN CHECK

Our risk control process helped the fund considerably during the period. In addition to monitoring portfolio volatility daily and scaling positions accordingly, our proprietary risk control programs identified when market volatility spiked and switched to their most sensitive mode leading us to aggressively rescale the fund’s positions in response to the changed market conditions. In this situation, we reduced the fund’s exposure to U.S. equities by selling liquid futures contracts and increased the fund’s cash position. Our volatility controls worked as intended, minimizing the effect of the market’s extraordinary volatility and helping the fund to outperform its peers.

FUTURE STILL UNCERTAIN FOR THE CAPITAL MARKETS

For the first half of 2009, we think all capital markets, including hedge funds, will struggle as de-leveraging continues. Within this bleak outlook, we believe hedge fund indexes will fare better than other indexes. We believe there may be a turnaround in the second half of 2009 when position unwinding associated with de-leveraging has been completed and institutional assets begin to return to hedge funds.

While hedge fund indexes, like other indexes, may struggle in the near term, we believe our mutual fund portfolio may be able to do a bit better because of our focus on relatively liquid investments and our disciplined risk management process. In this kind of environment, when there is a flight to quality, the liquidity factor takes on greater importance, and may benefit the fund’s performance.

ASG GLOBAL ALTERNATIVES FUND

Average Annual Returns – December 31, 2008

PERFORMANCE PERSPECTIVE

The table comparing the fund’s performance to an index and a Morningstar

average provides 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, an 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.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and certain exchange fees, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. In addition, the fund assesses a minimum balance fee of $20 on an annual basis for accounts that fall below the required minimum to establish an account. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The first line in the table of each Class of fund shares shows the actual account values and actual fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your Class.

The second line in the table of 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.

Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges or exchange fees. 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.


ASG GLOBAL ALTERNATIVES FUND	BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 7/1/2008¹	ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 12/31/2008	EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD 7/1/2008¹ – 12/31/2008

Hypothetical expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (after fee reduction/reimbursement): 1.62%, 2.39% and 1.39% for Class A, C, and Y, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent half-year (184), divided by 365 (to reflect the half-year period).

Fund commenced operations on September 30, 2008. Actual expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (after fee reduction/reimbursement): 1.62%, 2.39% and 1.39% for Class A, C and Y, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal period (92), divided by 365 (to reflect the partial period).

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE INITIAL ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR

ASG GLOBAL ALTERNATIVES FUND

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that both the full Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, initially approve for a two-year term any new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements for a registered investment company, including a newly formed fund such as the ASG Global Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”). The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the proposed investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) for the Fund at an in-person meeting held on September 23, 2008. Prior to their approval of the Agreements, the Trustees had participated in a number of meetings and conference calls during which the proposed strategies to be used in managing the Fund, the risks of those strategies, and the experience of the Fund’s adviser, AlphaSimplex Group, LLC (“ASG”), in implementing these strategies were discussed.

In connection with this review, Fund management and other representatives of ASG and the Fund’s sub-adviser, Reich & Tang Asset Management, LLC, (together with ASG, the “Advisers”), distributed to the Trustees materials including, among other items, (i) information on the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees and other expenses to be charged to the Fund, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of peer groups of funds and information about the proposed expense cap, (ii) the Fund’s investment objective and strategies, (iii) the size, education and experience of the Advisers’ investment staff and the investment strategies proposed to be used in managing the Fund, (iv) proposed arrangements for the distribution of the Fund’s shares, (v) the procedures proposed to be employed to determine the value of the Fund’s assets, (vi) the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies, (vii) information about the Advisers’ performance, and (viii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Because the Fund is newly formed and had not commenced operations at the time of the Trustees’ review, certain information, including data relating to Fund performance, was not available, and therefore could not be distributed to the Trustees. Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, the Advisers.

The nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisers and their respective affiliates to the Fund, and the resources to be dedicated to the Fund by the Advisers and their respective affiliates. The Trustees considered that, although ASG did not currently manage any of the funds overseen by the Trustees, ASG is an affiliate of Natixis US, with which the Trustees are familiar through their oversight of other funds in the Natixis family of funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered not only the advisory services proposed to be provided by the Advisers to the Fund, but also the monitoring and oversight services proposed to be provided to the Fund, as well as the administrative services proposed to be provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Fund.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the scope of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreements seemed consistent with the Fund’s operational requirements, and that the Advisers had the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory services that would be required by the Fund. The Trustees determined that the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided under the Agreements supported approval of the Agreements.

Investment performance of the Fund and the Advisers. Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, performance information for the Fund was not considered, although the Board considered the performance of other accounts managed by the Advisers. Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the Advisers’ performance record was sufficient to support approval of the Agreements.

The costs of the services to be provided by the Advisers and their affiliates from their respective relationships with the Fund. Although the Fund had not yet commenced operations at the time of the Trustees’ review of the Agreements, the Trustees reviewed information comparing the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees and estimated total expenses of the Fund’s share classes with the fees and expenses of comparable share classes of comparable funds identified by the Advisers. In evaluating the fees charged to comparable accounts, the Trustees considered, among other things, management’s representations about the differences between managing mutual funds as compared to other types of accounts, including the additional resources required to effectively manage mutual fund assets. In evaluating the Fund’s proposed advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the

ASG GLOBAL ALTERNATIVES FUND

investment management of the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund would have an expense cap in place. In addition, the Trustees considered information regarding the administrative and distribution fees to be paid by the Fund to the Advisers’ affiliates.

Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, historical profitability information with respect to the Fund was not considered. However, the Trustees noted the information provided in court cases in which adviser profitability was an issue and the estimated expense level of the Fund.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the advisory fees proposed to be charged to the Fund were fair and reasonable, and supported the approval of the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Advisers may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing the Fund, and whether those economies could be shared with the Fund through breakpoints in the advisory fees or other means. The Trustees noted that the Fund was subject to an expense cap. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees considered, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale might be shared with the Fund supported the approval of the Agreements.

The Trustees also considered other factors, including but not limited to, the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their respective affiliates would provide to the Fund and the potential so-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution and administrative services to the Fund, the benefits to Natixis and ASG of being able to offer an “alternative” product in the Natixis family of funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Advisers by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Fund’s securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the fact that Natixis Advisors’ parent company would benefit from the retention of affiliated advisers. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008

1. Organization. Natixis Funds Trust II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end investment management 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to ASG Global Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”); the financial statements for the other funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The Fund commenced operations on September 30, 2008 via contribution by Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (“Natixis US”) of $25 million.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Prior to December 1, 2008, the Fund offered Institutional Class shares. On December 1, 2008, Institutional Class shares were redesignated as Class Y shares of the Fund. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, pay higher ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year. Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Y shares are generally intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus.

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). 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 the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The 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. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 Fund by a pricing service, recommended by the sub-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 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 Fund may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Futures contracts are priced at their most recent settlement price. All forward foreign currency contracts are “marked-to-market” daily utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

The 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 equity 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. 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. 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 Fund 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2008

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 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 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. The 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2008, there were no open forward currency contracts.

e. Futures Contracts. The Fund 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 the 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. This initial cash margin, if any, is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as part of “Due from brokers”. 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 the 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 the Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit the 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. Due from Brokers. Transactions in futures and forwards of the Fund are primarily maintained, cleared and held by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between the Fund and the various broker/dealers. Due from brokers’ balances in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities represents cash and any initial and/or variation margin applicable to open futures contracts. In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

g. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trust treats the Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The 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 Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns that remain subject to examination (tax year ended December 31, 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 twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

The 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.

h. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as non-deductible Rule 12b-1 and registration expenses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income, and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, post-October capital loss deferrals, capital loss carryforwards and futures contracts mark to market. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2008

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the period ended December 31, 2008 was as follows:


2008 Distributions Paid From:
Ordinary Income	Long-Term Capital Gains	Total
$ 99,514	$—	$	99,514

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 December 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$	27,989
Undistributed capital gains		—
Capital loss carryforward:
Expires December 31, 2016		(783,520	)
Deferred net capital losses post-October 2008		(44,398	)
Unrealized appreciation		70,964

Total accumulated losses	$	(728,965	)

i. Repurchase Agreements. It is the 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 the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

j. 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.

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 Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects 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 Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

3. Fair Value Measurements. The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, effective September 30, 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;

•

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2008

•

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 Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2008:


Securities Purchased Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1 – Quoted Prices	$	—
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs		23,457,838

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of Natixis Funds Trust II and Shareholders of ASG Global Alternatives Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ASG Global Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Natixis Funds Trust II, at December 31, 2008, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period from September 30, 2008 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
