There are various reasons why a portfolio manager may not own shares of the Fund(s) he or she manages. One reason is that the Funds’ respective investment objective and strategies may not match those of the portfolio manager’s personal investment objective. Also, the portfolio manager may invest in other funds or pooled investment vehicles or separate accounts managed by the portfolio manager in a similar style to the Funds. Administrative reasons (such as facilitating compliance with an adviser’s or subadviser’s code of ethics) also may explain why a portfolio manager has chosen not to invest in the Natixis Funds.
