Supplement dated June 10, 2013, to the Natixis Funds Statement of Additional Information dated April 1, 2013, as may be revised or supplemented from time to time, for the following funds:

 

ASG Growth Markets Fund   Loomis Sayles Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund
Gateway International Fund   Vaughan Nelson Select Fund
Loomis Sayles Capital Income Fund  

Effective immediately, the second paragraph in the section “Net Asset Value” is hereby replaced with the following:

The total NAV of each class of shares of a Fund (the excess of the assets of such Fund attributable to such class over the liabilities attributable to such class) is determined at the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading. Each Fund will not price its shares on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. 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 independent pricing services recommended by the applicable Adviser or Subadviser and approved by the Board. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to each Fund by an independent pricing service recommended by the applicable Adviser or Subadviser and approved by the Board, 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. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service does not price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Domestic exchange-traded single equity option contracts (including options on exchange-traded funds) are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations. Options on futures contracts are valued using the current settlement price. International exchange-traded index options are valued at the settlement price. Other exchange-traded options (i.e., options on domestic indices, foreign securities, currencies and other financial contracts) are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations. OTC international index options are valued at the most recent settlement prices supplied by an independent pricing service as of the close of the local market. Swaptions are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service. Currency options are priced at the mid price (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Other OTC options contracts (including currency options and swaptions not priced through an independent pricing service) are valued based on quotations obtained from broker-dealers. These quotations will be either the bid for a long transaction or the ask for a short transaction. Futures are valued at the most recent settlement price. Interest rate swaps are valued based on prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available, or quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available, or quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Centrally cleared credit default swap indices are priced at the settlement price on the clearinghouse in which the security was traded on. Commodity index total return swaps are valued based on the closing price of the reference asset that is supplied by an independent pricing service, if available, or quotations from a broker-dealer. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their reported NAV each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities and other instruments for which current market quotations are not readily available and all other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the applicable Adviser or Subadviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board.


NATIXIS FUNDS

Supplement dated June 10, 2013, to the Natixis Funds Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2013, as may be revised or supplemented from time to time, for the following funds:

 

ASG Diversifying Strategies Fund   Loomis Sayles Multi-Asset Real Return Fund
ASG Global Alternatives Fund   Loomis Sayles Strategic Alpha Fund
ASG Managed Futures Strategy Fund   McDonnell Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
Gateway Fund  

Effective immediately, the second paragraph in the section “Net Asset Value” is hereby replaced with the following:

The total NAV of each class of shares of a Fund (the excess of the assets of such Fund attributable to such class over the liabilities attributable to such class) is determined at the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading. Each Fund will not price its shares on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the applicable Adviser or Subadviser and approved by the Board. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an 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) and unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to each Fund by an independent pricing service recommended by the applicable Adviser or Subadviser and approved by the Board, 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. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service does not price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Domestic exchange-traded single equity option contracts (including options on ETFs) are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations. Options on futures contracts are valued using the current settlement price. Other exchange-traded options (i.e., options on domestic indices, foreign securities, currencies and other financial contracts) are valued at the average of the closing bid and asked quotation. Currency options are valued at the mid price (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Swaptions are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service. Other over-the-counter options contracts (including currency options and swaptions not priced through an independent pricing service) are valued based on quotations obtained from broker-dealers. These quotations will be either the bid for a long transaction or the ask for a short transaction. Under normal market conditions, the Funds will generally consider the value of domestic exchange-traded index options determined at the close of trading on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (the “CBOE”) (normally 4:15 p.m., Eastern Time) to be the value at the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). However, if under the Funds’ valuation procedures a significant change in the value of the S&P 500 contracts is considered to have occurred between the close of the NYSE and the close of the CBOE, the Funds will consider the closing price on the CBOE to not reflect the value of the index options at the close of the NYSE. In such circumstances the index options will be fair valued by or pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. On the last business day of the month, the Gateway Fund will fair value index options using the closing rotation values published by the CBOE. Futures are valued at the most recent settlement price. Interest rate swaps are valued based on prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available, or quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Commodity index total return swaps are valued based on the closing price of the reference asset that is supplied by an independent pricing service, if available, or quotations from a broker-dealer. Bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the


ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available, or quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Centrally cleared credit default swap indices are priced at the settlement price on the clearinghouse in which the security was traded on. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their reported NAV each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities and other instruments for which current market quotations are not readily available and all other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the applicable Adviser or Subadviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board.
