Dear Sir or Madam:

On behalf of Natixis Funds Trust II (the “Registrant”), transmitted for filing is Post-Effective Amendment No. 161 (the “Amendment”) to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form N-1A. The attached Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and Rule 101(a)(1)(i) of Regulation S-T.

The Registrant is filing the Amendment to update the principal investment strategies for Loomis Sayles Multi-Asset Real Return Fund and Loomis Sayles Absolute Strategies Fund.
