Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of, and not necessarily indicative of, future results. The table(s) do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any Fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Unlike a fund, an index is not managed and does not reflect fees and expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

1 Performance for Class C shares assumes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase.

 

2

S&P 500® Index is a widely recognized measure of U.S. stock market performance. It is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation, among other factors.

 

3

Russell 1000® Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000® companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values.

 

4 Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

 

5 The Fund revised its investment strategy on October 15, 2014; performance may have been different had the current investment strategy been in place for all periods shown.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Funds’ prospectus. The following examples 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 December 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. 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 for 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 each 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. 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 EXISTING ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Board of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements, typically for an additional one-year period. After the Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements.

In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Funds’ investment advisers and sub-advisers (collectively, the “Advisers”) believe to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreements. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Funds and the performance of peer groups and categories of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory fees, if any, and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ expenses to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Advisers, if any, and to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Advisers and (v) information obtained through the completion by the Advisers of a questionnaire distributed on behalf of the Trustees. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considers other matters such as (i) each Adviser’s financial results and/or financial condition, (ii) each Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Advisers’ respective investment staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (iii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (iv) the procedures employed to determine the value of the Funds’ assets, (v) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including, if applicable, allocations to brokers affiliated with the Advisers and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay Fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, (vi) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies, (vii) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (viii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Advisers.

In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their annual consideration of the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board that provide detailed information about the Funds’ investment performance and the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing each Fund’s performance and fee differentials against each Fund’s peer group/category,

Table of Contents

performance ratings provided by a third-party, total return information for various periods, and third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing a Fund against similarly categorized funds. The portfolio management team for each Fund or other representatives of the Advisers make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and Funds identified as presenting possible performance concerns may be subject to more frequent board presentations and reviews. In addition, each quarter, the Trustees are provided with detailed statistical information about each Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.

The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at its meeting held in June 2016. The Agreements were continued for a one-year period for the Funds. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisers and their affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Advisers and their affiliates.

The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Advisers to the Funds, but also the monitoring and oversight services provided by NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”). They also considered the administrative services provided by NGAM Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds.

For each Fund, the Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is 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 each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Investment performance of the Funds and the Advisers. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information that compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups and categories of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that also measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis. With respect to each Fund, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance or other relevant factors described above supported the renewal of the Agreement(s) relating to that Fund.

The Trustees also considered each Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Advisers

to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Advisers to take steps intended to improve performance.

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

The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their respective relationships with the Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and sub-advisory services as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and also by an independent third party) of the Funds’ advisory fees and total expense levels to those of their peer groups and information about the advisory fees charged by the Advisers to comparable accounts (such as institutional separate accounts), as well as information about differences in such fees and the reasons for any such differences. In considering 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 and the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of such assets. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of such Fund and the need for the Advisers to offer competitive compensation and the potential need to expend additional resources to the extent the Fund grows in size. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps for various funds in the fund family. They noted that the Funds in this report have expense caps in place and the Trustees also considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Advisor under these caps. The Trustees noted that Vaughan Nelson Select Fund had a total advisory fee rate that was above the median of a peer group of funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered that although the Fund’s advisory fee rate was above its peer group median, it is subject to a proposed reduction in the fund’s expense cap for all share classes, which is expected to have immediate benefits for fund shareholders, a factor that management believed justified such relatively higher fee rate. The Trustees also considered management’s proposal to reduce the expense cap for each of the Loomis Sayles Dividend Income Fund and the Vaughan Nelson Select Fund.

The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Advisers’ and their affiliates’ relationships with the Funds, and information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability, including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser compensation or profitability were issues, the performance of the relevant Funds, the

Table of Contents

expense levels of the Funds, and whether the Advisers had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to such Funds.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fees charged to each of the Funds were fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Advisers and their affiliates in respect of their relationships with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Advisers and whether those economies are shared with the Funds through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense waivers or caps. The Trustees also discussed with management the factors considered with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense waivers or caps for certain funds. Management explained that a number of factors are taken into account in considering the possible implementation of breakpoints or an expense cap for a fund, including, among other things, factors such as a fund’s assets, the projected growth of a fund, projected profitability and a fund’s fees and performance. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that although the Funds’ management fees were not subject to breakpoints, each Fund was subject to an expense cap or waiver. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and a relative basis) and the profitability to the Advisers and their affiliates of their relationships with the Funds, as discussed above.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

 

·  

The effect of recent market and economic events on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund.

 

·  

Whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Advisers. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their affiliates were providing to the Funds.

 

·  

The nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Advisers and their affiliates, both under the Agreements and under separate agreements covering administrative services.

 

·  

So-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution, administrative and brokerage 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 benefits to the parent company of NGAM Advisors from the retention of the Adviser. 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.

The Trustees’ review and discussion of the Funds’ advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years.

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 each of the existing Agreements, with the reduction of the expense cap with respect to each of the Loomis Sayles Dividend Income Fund and the Vaughan Nelson Select Fund described above, should be continued through June 30, 2017.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE INITIAL ADVISORY AGREEMENT FOR LOOMIS SAYLES GLOBAL GROWTH 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 for a registered investment company, including newly formed funds such as the Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund (the “Fund”). The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the proposed investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) for the Fund at an in-person meeting held on March 11, 2016.

In connection with this review, Fund management and other representatives of the Fund’s adviser, Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (the “Adviser”), distributed to the Trustees materials including, among other items, (i) information on the proposed advisory fees and other expenses to be charged to the Fund, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of peer groups and categories of funds and information on fees charged to other funds and accounts advised by the Adviser and the proposed expense cap, (ii) the size, education and experience of the Adviser’s investment staff and the investment strategies proposed to be used in managing the Fund, (iii) proposed arrangements for the distribution of the Fund’s shares, (iv) the procedures proposed to be employed to determine the value of the Fund’s assets, (v) the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies, (vi) information about the Adviser’s performance, and (vii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. The Trustees also considered the fact that they oversee other funds advised by the Adviser as well as information about the Adviser they had received in connection with their oversight of those other funds. 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 Adviser.

In considering whether to initially approve the Agreement, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving weight to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreement included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below:

The nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreement. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Fund, and the resources to be dedicated to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees considered their experience with other funds advised by the Adviser, as well as the affiliation between the Adviser and Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (“Natixis US”), whose affiliates provide investment advisory services to other funds in the same family of mutual funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered not only the advisory services proposed to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund, but also the

Table of Contents

monitoring and administrative services proposed to be provided by NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) and its affiliates to the Fund.

The Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is 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 Agreement, that the scope of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreement seemed consistent with the Fund’s operational requirements, and that the Adviser 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 Agreement supported approval of the Agreement.

Investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser. Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, performance information for the Fund was not considered; however, the Board considered the performance of other funds and accounts managed by the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Adviser to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Adviser to take steps intended to improve performance.

Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that these relevant factors supported approval of the Agreement.

The costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund. Although the Fund had not yet commenced operations at the time of the Trustees’ review of the Agreement, the Trustees reviewed information comparing the proposed 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 Adviser, including information about how those funds were selected, as well as information about differences in such fees. In evaluating the Fund’s proposed advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the 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 Adviser’s 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, the estimated expense level of the Fund, and that the Fund would be subject to an expense cap.

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

Economies of scale. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Adviser 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, such as expense waivers or caps. The Trustees noted that the Fund will be subject to an expense cap. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the extent to which economies of scale might be shared with the Fund supported the approval of the Agreement.

The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

 

·  

The compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates would provide to the Fund.

 

·  

The nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services to be performed by the Adviser and its affiliates, both under the Agreement and under separate agreements covering administrative services.

 

·  

So-called “fallout benefits” to the Adviser, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Adviser to provide distribution and administrative services to the Fund, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Fund’s securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the benefits to the Natixis organization from the retention of the Adviser. 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.

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 Agreement should be approved.

^ Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular reference entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(d) Had certain expenses not been waived/reimbursed during the period, total returns would have been lower.
(e) Periods less than one year are not annualized.
(f) Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund for financial reporting purposes only, and as such, the total return based on the adjusted net asset value per share at the beginning of the period (reflected above) is different from the total return reported in the average annual return table.

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 (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment 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. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

Loomis Sayles Dividend Income Fund (the “Dividend Income Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund (the “Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund (the “Global Growth Fund”)

Vaughan Nelson Select Fund (the “Select Fund”)

The Global Growth Fund commenced operations on March 31, 2016 via contribution to the Fund by Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (“Natixis US”) and affiliates of $5,002,000.

Each Fund is a diversified investment company, except for Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund and Select Fund, which are non-diversified investment companies.

Each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. In addition, Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund offers Class N shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Dividend Income Fund, Global Growth Fund and Select Fund and 4.25% for Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, pay higher 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 of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered to investors with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Class Y shares are 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 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 Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds 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, for Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund Class A, Class C and Class Y, collectively, and Class N, individually, transfer agent 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 distributions 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 follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and 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. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and subadviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser or subadviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Domestic exchange-traded single name equity option contracts (including options on exchange-traded funds) are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations.

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options on exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and currency options are valued at the mid price (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Options on ETFs and currency options not priced through an independent pricing service are valued based on quotations obtained from broker-dealers. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at settlement prices of the clearinghouse on which the contracts were traded or prices 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. Bilateral interest rate swaps are valued based on prices supplied by an independent pricing service.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser or subadviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

As of May 31, 2016, securities held by the Fund were fair valued as follows:

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a 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. 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.  Short Sales.  Certain Funds may enter into short sales of securities. A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own, usually in anticipation of a decline in the fair market value of the security. To sell a security short, a Fund typically borrows that security from a prime broker and delivers it to the short sale counterparty. Short sale proceeds are held by the prime broker until the short position is closed out and are reflected as due from broker in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When closing out a short position, a Fund will have to purchase the security it originally sold short. The value of short sales is reflected as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is marked-to-market daily. A Fund will realize a profit from closing out a short position if the price of the security sold short has declined since the short position was opened; a Fund will realize a loss from closing out a short position if the value of the shorted security has risen since the short position was opened. Because there is no upper limit on the price to which a security can rise, short selling exposes a Fund to potentially unlimited losses. Ordinarily, a Fund will pay interest to borrow securities and will have to repay the lender any dividends that accrue on the security while the loan is outstanding. The Funds intend to cover their short sale transactions by segregating or earmarking liquid assets, such that the segregated/earmarked amount, combined with assets pledged to the prime broker as collateral, equals the current market value of the securities underlying the short sale.

d.  Foreign Currency Translation.  The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values 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 into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates 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 or losses

arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income, and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce or eliminate the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.

The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce or eliminate the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.

During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the amount of income available to be distributed by the Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund was reduced by $47,548 as a result of losses arising from changes in exchange rates.

The Funds 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.

e.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Funds’ investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Funds’ 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 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. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. 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. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.

f.  Futures Contracts.  Certain Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular instrument or index for a specified price on a specified future date.

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities as “initial margin.” 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 a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the broker. 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statements 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 a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.

Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, a Fund’s claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.

g.  Option Contracts.  Certain Funds may enter into option contracts. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the difference between the premium paid and the proceeds of the closing sale transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.

When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Net premiums received for written options which expire are treated as realized gains. Net premiums received for written options which are exercised are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including commissions, is treated as a realized gain or, if the net premium received is less than the amount paid, as a realized

loss. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option.

Exchange-traded options contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced. OTC options are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the option.

h.  Swaptions.  Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swaptions. An interest rate swaption gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to enter into or cancel an interest rate swap agreement at a future date. Interest rate swaptions may be either purchased or written. The buyer of an interest rate swaption may purchase either the right to receive a fixed rate in the underlying swap (known as a “receiver swaption”) or to pay a fixed rate (known as a “payer swaption”), based on the notional amount of the swap agreement, in exchange for a floating rate. The notional amounts of swaptions are not recorded in the financial statements.

When a Fund purchases an interest rate swaption, it pays a premium and the swaption is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing interest rate swaptions which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing interest rate swaptions which are exercised are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying swap to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the difference between the premium paid and the proceeds of the closing sale transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing interest rate swaptions is limited to the premium paid.

When a Fund writes an interest rate swaption, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Premiums received for written interest rate swaptions which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received for written interest rate swaptions which are exercised are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying swap to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the premium received and any amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is treated as a realized gain or, if the premium received is less than the amount paid, as a realized loss. A Fund, as writer of a written interest rate swaption, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the swap underlying the written interest rate swaption.

Over-the-counter interest rate swaptions are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swaption.

i.  Swap Agreements.  Certain Funds may enter into credit default and interest rate swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties (the “protection buyer” and “protection seller”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer (“reference

 

|  60


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

May 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

obligation”) for a specified time period. The reference obligation may be one or more debt securities or an index of such securities. The Funds may be either the protection buyer or the protection seller. As a protection buyer, the Funds have the ability to hedge the downside risk of an issuer or group of issuers. As a protection seller, the Funds have the ability to gain exposure to an issuer or group of issuers whose bonds are unavailable or in short supply in the cash bond market, as well as realize additional income in the form of fees paid by the protection buyer. The protection buyer is obligated to pay the protection seller a stream of payments (“fees”) over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event, such as a default or a downgrade in credit rating, occurs on the reference obligation. The Funds may also pay or receive upfront premiums. If a credit event occurs, the protection seller must pay the protection buyer the difference between the agreed upon notional value and market value of the reference obligation. Market value in this case is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the value. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that a Fund as the protection seller could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for those agreements for which the Fund is the protection seller. Implied credit spreads serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular reference entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

An interest rate swap is an agreement with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect themselves from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

The notional amounts of swap agreements are not recorded in the financial statements. Swap agreements are valued daily, and fluctuations in value are recorded in the Statements of Operations as change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Fees are accrued in accordance with the terms of the agreement and are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as fees receivable or payable. When received or paid, fees are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gain or loss. Upfront premiums paid or received by the Funds are recorded on the

 

61  |


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

May 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability, respectively, and are amortized or accreted over the term of the agreement and recorded as realized gain or loss. Payments made or received by the Funds as a result of a credit event or termination of the agreement are recorded as realized gain or loss.

Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). Bilateral swap agreements are traded between counterparties and, as such, are subject to the risk that a party to the agreement will not be able to meet its obligations. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund faces the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund based on the daily change in the value of the centrally cleared swap agreement. For centrally cleared swaps, the Fund’s counterparty credit risk is reduced as the CCP stands between the Fund and the counterparty. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding swap agreements by segregating or earmarking cash or securities.

j.  Due from Brokers.  Transactions and positions in certain options, futures and swap agreements are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between the Funds and the various broker/dealers. The due from brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for options and bilateral swap agreements and as initial margin for futures contracts. The due from broker balance in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for Select Fund represents short sale proceeds held at the broker. In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

k.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  The 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 of 1986, as amended, 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 each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of May 31, 2016 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, where applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

l.  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 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 of items such as foreign currency gains and losses, paydown gains and losses, return of capital and capital gain distributions received, distribution re-designations, contingent payment debt instruments, convertible bonds, interest rate swaps and premium amortization. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income, and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, premium amortization, contingent payment debt instruments, futures and forward foreign currency contracts mark-to-market, swaps, partnerships, return of capital distributions received and convertible bonds. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. 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 year ended November 30, 2015 was as follows:

     705,982         1,412,804         2,118,786   

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

Amounts exclude certain adjustments that will be made at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year for tax purposes.

m.  Repurchase Agreements.  Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. 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. Certain 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. As of May 31, 2016, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

n.  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 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.

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

   

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities 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 Funds’ pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds do not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

4.  Derivatives.  Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that Dividend Income Fund, Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund and Select Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, option contracts, swaptions and swap agreements.

Dividend Income Fund is subject to the risk of unpredictable declines in the value of individual equity securities and periods of below average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. The Fund may use purchased put options and written call options to hedge against a decline in value of an equity security that it owns and may use written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes. The Fund may also use purchased call options, written call options and written put options for investment purposes. During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in written call option transactions for hedging purposes and written put option transactions for investment purposes.

Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund seeks to provide high total investment return through a combination of high current income and capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its objective by generally obtaining its long investment exposures through direct cash investments and derivatives and short investment exposures substantially through derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, option contracts, swaptions and swap agreements. During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the Fund used forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, purchased call options, written put options, interest rate swaptions and credit default swap agreements (as a protection seller) to gain investment exposures in accordance with its objective.

Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund is subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities. The Fund will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that it invests in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Fund may use futures contracts, interest rate swaptions and interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in interest rates and to manage duration without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in interest rate swaptions for hedging purposes and futures contracts and interest rate swap agreements to manage duration.

Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and option contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Fund’s holdings of foreign securities. During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in purchased put options for hedging purposes.

Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund is subject to the risk that companies in which the Fund invests will fail financially or otherwise be unwilling or unable to meet their obligations to the Fund. The Fund may use credit default swaps, as a protection buyer, to hedge its credit exposure to issuers of bonds it holds without having to sell the bonds. During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in credit default swap transactions (as a protection buyer) to hedge its credit exposure.

Select Fund is subject to the risk of unpredictable declines in the value of individual equity securities and periods of below average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. The Fund may use written call options to hedge against a decline in value of an equity security that it owns and may use written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes. The Fund may also use written call options and written put options for investment purposes. During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in written call option transactions for investment purposes.

(“ISDA”) agreements negotiated between the Funds and their counterparties. ISDA agreements typically contain, among other things, terms for the posting of collateral and master netting provisions in the event of a default or other termination event. Collateral is posted by a Fund or the counterparty to the extent of the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party of all open contracts under the agreement, subject to minimum transfer requirements. Master netting provisions allow the Funds and the counterparty, in the event of a default or other termination event, to offset amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts, including any posted collateral, to one net amount payable by either the Funds or the counterparty. The Funds’ ISDA agreements typically contain provisions that allow a counterparty to terminate open contracts early if the NAV of a Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and liabilities, and any related collateral received or pledged, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

As of May 31, 2016, gross amounts of OTC derivative assets and liabilities not offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the related net amounts after taking into account master netting arrangements, by counterparty, are as follows:

The actual collateral received or pledged, if any, may exceed the amounts shown in the table due to overcollateralization. Timing differences may exist between when contracts under the ISDA agreements are marked-to-market and when collateral

moves. The ISDA agreements include tri-party control agreements under which collateral is held for the benefit of the secured party at a third party custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”).

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the Fund’s aggregated unrealized gains and the amount of any collateral pledged to the counterparty, which may be offset by any collateral posted to the Fund by the counterparty. ISDA master agreements can help to manage counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under these ISDA agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure in respect of certain transactions, net of existing collateral already in place, exceeds a specified amount (typically $250,000, depending on the counterparty). With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. Based on balances reflected on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following table shows (i) the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the applicable Fund would incur if parties (including OTC derivative counterparties and brokers holding margin for exchange-traded derivatives) to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, and (ii) the amount of loss that the applicable Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of May 31, 2016:

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.  NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses

For the six months ended May 31, 2016, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations) for each Fund were as follows:

 

Fund

  

Sub-Transfer Agent
Fees

 

Dividend Income Fund

   $ 6,835   

Global Growth Fund

     1   

Select Fund

     28,703   

As of May 31, 2016, the Funds owe NGAM Distribution the following reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as payable to distributor):

 

Fund

  

Reimbursements of
Sub-Transfer Agent
Fees

 

Dividend Income Fund

         $107   

Select Fund

     461   

Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y 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 those classes.

e.  Commissions.  Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by NGAM Distribution during the six months ended May 31, 2016 were as follows:

 

Fund

f.  Trustees Fees and Expenses.  The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution, Natixis US or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $325,000. 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 $155,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $17,500. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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.

Prior to January 1, 2016, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $300,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $130,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee received an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $5,000.

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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and are normally 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.

Fund

  

Retirement Plan

Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund

            90.33     90.33

Global Growth Fund

            63.13     63.13

Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds.

h.  Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses.  Effective April 1, 2015, NGAM Advisors has given a binding contractual undertaking to Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for the Fund’s Class N shares. This undertaking is in effect through March 31, 2017 and is not subject to recovery under the expense limitation agreement described above.

For the six months ended May 31, 2016, NGAM Advisors reimbursed the Fund $68 for transfer agency expenses related to Class N shares.

i.  Payment by Affiliates.  During the six months ended May 31, 2016, Loomis Sayles reimbursed Dividend Income Fund $740 in connection with a trading error.

7.  Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses.  For the six months ended May 31, 2016, Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund incurred the following class-specific transfer agent fees and expenses (including sub-transfer agent fees, where applicable):

 

    

Class A

    

Class C

    

Class N

    

Class Y

 

Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses

   $ 7       $ 2       $ 68       $ 1,145   

Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y 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 those classes. Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class N are allocated to Class N.

8.  Line of Credit.  Effective April 14, 2016, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, entered into a 364-day, $400,000,000 syndicated, committed, unsecured line of credit with Citibank, N.A. to be used for temporary or emergency purposes only. Any one Fund may borrow up to the full $400,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time) subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and other fees in connection with the new line of credit agreement.

For the six months ended May 31, 2016, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.

Prior to April 14, 2016 each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, participated in a $150,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund was able to borrow up to the full $150,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $150,000,000 limit at any time). Interest was 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 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

9.  Brokerage Commission Recapture.  Certain Funds have 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 on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended May 31, 2016, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:

 

Fund

  

Rebates

 

Dividend Income Fund

   $ 301   

10.  Concentration of Risk.  Each Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.

The Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund and Select Fund are non-diversified, which means that they are not limited under the 1940 Act to a percentage of assets that they may invest in any one issuer. Because the Funds may invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers, an investment in the Funds may involve a higher degree of risk than would be present in a diversified portfolio.

Emerging markets investments are subject to greater risks arising from political or economic instability, nationalization or confiscatory taxation, currency exchange restrictions and an issuer’s unwillingness or inability to make principal or interest payments on its obligations. Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund’s investments in emerging markets companies, which may be smaller and have shorter operating histories than companies in developed markets, involves risks in addition to, and greater than, those generally associated with investing in companies in developed foreign markets.

11.  Concentration of Ownership.  From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Funds. As of May 31, 2016, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings were as follows:

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which NGAM Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts or investment models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Funds do not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.

12.  Capital Shares.  Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of, and not necessarily indicative of, future results. The table(s) do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any Fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Unlike a fund, an index is not managed and does not reflect fees and expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

1 9/30/11 represents the date Class Y shares were first registered for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933. 9/16/11 represents commencement of operations for Class Y shares for accounting and financial reporting purposes only.

 

2 Performance for Class C shares assumes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase.

 

3 S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index reflects the market-weighted performance of institutional leveraged loans based upon real-time market weightings, spreads and interest payments.

 

4 Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Funds’ prospectus. The following examples 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 December 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. 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 for 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 each 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. 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 EXISTING

ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on the Fund’s advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreement to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreement, typically for an additional one-year period. After the Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreement.

In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) believes to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreement. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Fund and the performance of a peer group and category of funds and the Fund’s performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Fund’s advisory fee and other expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Adviser, if any, and to those of a peer group of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Fund, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreement to the Adviser and (v) information obtained through the completion by the Adviser of a questionnaire distributed on behalf of the Trustees. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considers other matters such as (i) the Adviser’s financial results and/or financial condition, (ii) the Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Adviser’s investment staff and its use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (iii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Fund’s shares and the related costs, (iv) the procedures employed to determine the value of the Fund’s assets, (v) the allocation of the Fund’s brokerage, if any, including, if applicable, allocations to brokers affiliated with the Adviser and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay Fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, (vi) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies, (vii) information about amounts invested by the Fund’s portfolio managers in the Fund or in similar accounts that they manage and (viii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Adviser.

In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their annual consideration of the continuation of the Agreement, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board that provide detailed information about the Fund’s investment performance and the fees charged to the Fund for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for the Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing the Fund’s performance and fee differentials against the Fund’s peer group/category, performance ratings provided by a third-party, total return information for various periods, and third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing the Fund against similarly

categorized funds. The portfolio management team for the Fund or other representatives of the Adviser make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and if the Fund is identified as presenting possible performance concerns it may be subject to more frequent board presentations and reviews. In addition, each quarter, the Trustees are provided with detailed statistical information about the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.

The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreement at its meeting held in June 2016. The Agreement was continued for a one-year period for the Fund. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreement included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Fund and the resources dedicated to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates.

The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, but also the monitoring and oversight services provided by NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”). They also considered the administrative services provided by NGAM Advisors and its affiliates to the Fund.

The Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is 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 Agreement, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreement.

Investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Fund over various time periods, including information that compared the performance of the Fund to the performance of a peer group and category of funds and the Fund’s performance benchmark. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Fund using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that also measured the performance of the Fund on a risk adjusted basis.

The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreement. The Trustees noted that while the Fund had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group and/or category for certain (although not all) periods, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreement. These factors included the following: (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions by the Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; and (2) that the Fund’s performance, although lagging in certain periods, was stronger over the longer term.

The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Adviser to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Adviser to take steps intended to improve performance.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the performance of the Fund and the Adviser and/or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreement.

The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their respective relationships with the Fund. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Fund for advisory services as well as the total expense level of the Fund. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and also by an independent third party) of the Fund’s advisory fee and total expense level to those of its peer group and information about the advisory fees charged by the Adviser to comparable accounts (such as institutional separate accounts), as well as information about differences in such fees and the reasons for any such differences. In considering 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 and the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of such assets. In evaluating the Fund’s advisory fee, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Fund, as well as the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation and the potential need to expend additional resources to the extent the Fund grows in size. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps for various funds in the fund family. They noted that the Fund has an expense cap in place and the Trustees also considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Advisor under this cap. The Trustees noted that the Fund had total advisory fee rates that were above the median of a peer group of funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered that the Fund’s advisory fee rate was not significantly above its peer group median, a factor that management believed justified such relatively higher fee rate.

The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ relationships with the Fund, and information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability, including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser compensation or profitability were issues, the performance of the Fund, the expense levels of the Fund, and whether the Adviser had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to the Fund.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the advisory fee charged to the Fund was fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates in respect of their relationships with the Fund supported the renewal of the Agreement.

Table of Contents

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Adviser and whether those economies are shared with the Fund through breakpoints in its investment advisory fee or other means, such as expense waivers or caps. The Trustees also discussed with management the factors considered with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense waivers or caps for certain funds. Management explained that a number of factors are taken into account in considering the possible implementation of breakpoints or an expense cap for a fund, including, among other things, factors such as a fund’s assets, the projected growth of a fund, projected profitability and a fund’s fees and performance. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that although the Fund’s management fee was not subject to breakpoints, the Fund was subject to an expense cap or waiver. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and a relative basis) and the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationships with the Fund, as discussed above.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Fund supported the renewal of the Agreement.

The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

 

·  

The effect of recent market and economic events on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of the Fund.

 

·  

Whether the Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Fund and the Adviser. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates were providing to the Fund.

 

·  

The nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Adviser and its affiliates, both under the Agreement and under a separate agreement covering administrative services.

 

·  

So-called “fallout benefits” to the Adviser, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Adviser to provide distribution, administrative and brokerage services to the Fund, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Fund’s securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the benefits to the parent company of NGAM Advisors from the retention of the Adviser. 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.

 

·  

The Trustees’ review and discussion of the Fund’s advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years.

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 existing Agreement should be continued through June 30, 2017.

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 (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment 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. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. Information presented in this report pertains to Loomis Sayles Senior Floating Rate and Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”).

The Fund is a non-diversified investment company.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.50%. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, pay higher 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 of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Y shares are 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 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 Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”). Expenses of the 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 the Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions 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 follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and 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. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value

 

25  |

(“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

As of May 31, 2016, securities held by the Fund were fair valued as follows:

 

Illiquid
securities
1

  

Percentage
of Net
Assets

  

Other fair
valued
securities
2

  

Percentage
of Net
Assets

$38,188,856    2.3%    $555,900    0.0%3

 

1 

Illiquid securities are deemed to be fair valued pursuant to the Fund’s pricing policies and procedures.

2 

Fair valued by the Fund’s adviser.

3 

Represents less than 0.1% of net assets.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported 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. 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 values 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 into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized

Table of Contents

as ordinary income and may, if the Fund has net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Fund.

The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statement of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statement of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Fund has net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Fund.

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.

d.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  The Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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 for the open tax years as of May 31, 2016 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statement of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

May 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

on realized gains may be returned to the Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

e.  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 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 of items such as paydown gains and losses, defaulted bond adjustments and premium amortization. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income, and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, premium amortization, defaulted bonds and dividend payables. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Fund’s fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. 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 year ended November 30, 2015 was as follows:

 

2015 Distributions Paid From:

 

Ordinary
Income

  

Long-Term
Capital Gains

    

Total

 
$101,531,988    $   —       $ 101,531,988   

As of November 30, 2015, capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

 

Capital loss carryforward:

  

Short-term:

  

No expiration date

   $ (11,510,617

Long-term:

  

No expiration date

     (32,396,710
  

 

 

 

Total capital loss carryforward

   $ (43,907,327
  

 

 

 

f.  Repurchase Agreements.  The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which the Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. 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

 

|  28


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

May 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

interest. Certain 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. As of May 31, 2016, the Fund had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

g.  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.

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

   

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities 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 Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3.

May 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of May 31, 2016, at value:

4.  Purchases and Sales of Securities.  For the six months ended May 31, 2016, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government/Agency securities and including paydowns) were $364,108,126 and $631,006,060 respectively.

5.  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

a.  Management Fees.  Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to the Fund. Under the terms of the management agreement, the Fund pays a management fee at the annual rate of 0.60%, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily managed assets, which include borrowings used for leverage.

Loomis Sayles has given a binding undertaking to the Fund to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Fund’s operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, organizational and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect until March 31, 2017, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, and is reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to this undertaking.

For the six months ended May 31, 2016, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreement were as follows:

 

Expense Limit as a Percentage of
Average Daily Net Assets

Class A

 

Class C

 

Class Y

1.05%   1.80%   0.80%

Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreement (whether through waiver of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the annual operating expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.

For the six months ended May 31, 2016, the management fees and waiver of management fees for the Fund were as follows:

Certain officers and employees of Loomis Sayles are also officers or Trustees of the Trust. Loomis Sayles’ general partner is indirectly owned by Natixis US.

b.  Service and Distribution Fees.  NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“NGAM Distribution”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trust. Pursuant to this agreement, NGAM Distribution serves as principal underwriter of the Funds of the Trust.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Trust has adopted a Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class A shares (the “Class A Plan”) and a Distribution and Service Plan relating to the Fund’s Class C shares (the “Class C Plan”).

Under the Class A Plan, the Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class A shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by NGAM Distribution in providing personal services to investors in Class A shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Under the Class C Plan, the Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class C shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in providing personal services to investors in Class C shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Also under the Class C Plan, the Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class C shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Class C shares.

For the six months ended May 31, 2016, the service and distribution fees for the Fund were as follows:

 

Service Fees

  Distribution Fees

Class A

   Class C  

Class C

$363,892    $340,629   $1,021,886

c.  Administrative Fees.  NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Fund and contracts with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”) to serve as sub-administrator. NGAM Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and NGAM Advisors, the Fund pays NGAM Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion, 0.0350% of the next $30 billion and 0.0325% of such assets in excess of $90 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

For the six months ended May 31, 2016, the administrative fees for the Fund were $371,523.

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.  NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Fund and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Fund primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Fund. These services would have been provided by the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Fund’s transfer agent. Accordingly, the Fund has agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers.

For the six months ended May 31, 2016, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations) for the Fund were $584,007.

As of May 31, 2016, the Fund owes NGAM Distribution $10,245 in reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as payable to distributor).

e.  Commissions.  Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by NGAM Distribution during the six months ended May 31, 2016 amounted to $29,557.

f.  Trustees Fees and Expenses.  The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution, Natixis US or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $325,000. 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 $155,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $17,500. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is

compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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.

Prior to January 1, 2016, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $300,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $130,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee received an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $5,000.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Fund 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts 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 and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Fund under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

g.  Affiliated Ownership.  As of May 31, 2016, Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”) held shares of the Fund representing 0.42% of the Fund’s net assets.

Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Fund.

6.  Line of Credit.  The Fund has entered into a syndicated, committed, secured line of credit with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (the “Administrative Agent”), the Bank of Nova Scotia and National Australia Bank Limited (each a “Lender” and together with the Administrative Agent “Lenders”) under which it may borrow for investment or liquidity purposes. The commitment of the Lenders to make loans to the Fund shall not exceed $400,000,000 at any one time. Under the terms of the agreement, the Lenders are entitled to a security interest in the assets of the Fund as collateral. Interest is charged to the Fund based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.400% per annum payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender is accrued by the Fund based on the unused portion of the line of credit. The Fund paid the Administrative Agent an upfront fee of $400,000 and a structuring fee of $100,000, for a total of $500,000, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected as miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

May 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the Fund had an average daily balance on the line of credit (for those days on which there were borrowings) of $45,885,714 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.27%.

7.  Interest Expense.  The Fund may incur interest expense on cash overdrafts at the custodian or from use of the line of credit. Interest expense incurred for the six months ended May 31, 2016 is reflected on the Statements of Operations.

8.  Concentration of Risk.  The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it is not limited under the 1940 Act to a percentage of assets that it may invest in any one issuer. Because the Fund may invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers, an investment in the Fund may involve a higher degree of risk than would be present in a diversified portfolio.

The senior loans in which the Fund expects to invest will generally not be rated investment grade by the rating agencies. Economic downturns generally increase non-payment rates and a senior loan could lose a substantial part of its value prior to default. Senior loans are subject to credit risk, and secured loans may not be adequately collateralized. The interest rates of senior loans reset frequently, and thus senior loans are subject to interest rate risk. There may also be less public information available about senior loans as compared to other debt securities.

Senior loans are generally less liquid than many other debt securities. Transactions in senior loans may settle on a delayed basis, such that the Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a substantial period of time (greater than seven days) after the sale. As a result, the proceeds related to the sale of senior loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet the Fund’s redemption obligations until substantial period (greater than seven days) after the sale of the loans.

9.  Concentration of Ownership.  From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Fund. As of May 31, 2016, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Fund had accounts (including accounts owned by affiliates) representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings were as follows:

 

Fund

  

Number of 5%
Non-Affiliated
Account Holders

models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Fund does not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.

10.  Capital Shares.   The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:
