1Other expenses are estimated for the current fiscal year.

2The Fund's investment adviser has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to limit the amount of the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses to 0.70%, 1.45%, 0.70% and 0.45% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class A, Class C, Class T and Class Y shares, respectively, exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2018 and may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Adviser will be permitted to recover, on a class by class basis, management fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed to the extent that expenses in later periods fall below the applicable expense limitations for Class A, Class C, Class T and Class Y shares. The Fund will not be obligated to repay any such waived/reimbursed fees and expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee/expense was waived/reimbursed.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods (except where indicated). The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the example is based on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement assuming that such waiver and/or reimbursement will only be in place through the date noted above and on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the remaining periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Fund Summary

If shares are redeemed:	1 year		3 years		5 years		10 years
Class A	$	369	$	555	$	756	$	1,336
Class C	$	248	$	497	$	870	$	1,918
Class T	$	320	$	505	$	707	$	1,290
Class Y	$	46	$	184	$	333	$	769

If shares are not redeemed:	1 year		3 years		5 years		10 years
Class C	$	148	$	497	$	870	$	1,918

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During its most recently ended fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 48% of the average value of its portfolio.

Investments, Risks and Performance

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in municipal securities that pay interest exempt from federal income taxes. Municipal securities are debt instruments typically issued by or on behalf of state and local governments, territories or possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and may include general obligation, revenue and private activity bonds and notes. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities that pay interest subject to federal income taxation. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund's investments may include securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and corporate debt securities. The Fund will invest primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities. "Investment grade" securities are those securities that are rated in one of the top four ratings categories at the time of purchase by at least one of the three major ratings agencies (Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Investors Services, Inc. or S&P Global Ratings), or, if unrated, are determined by McDonnell Investment Management, LLC ("McDonnell" or the "Subadviser") to be of comparable quality. The Subadviser considers pre-refunded bonds and municipal securities escrowed to maturity using U.S. Treasury securities or U.S. government agency securities to be investment grade securities, regardless of rating. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its assets in securities that are not investment grade (commonly known as "junk bonds"). Under normal circumstances, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund's portfolio is expected to be between 3 and 10 years although the Fund may invest in securities of any maturity.

The portfolio management team seeks to build a portfolio based on a number of factors including sector, duration and maturity distribution, yield, expected return, credit momentum outlook (sector and security level), credit quality, security structure, issue size and liquidity. Through the use of quantitative and fundamental analysis, the pool of possible portfolio investments is screened using these factors to arrive at a narrower universe of securities that the Subadviser believes are suitable for the Fund's portfolio.

Potential investments are also subject to a portfolio risk assessment that may include the following:

■

Determining the ability of creditors to fully repay debt obligations in a timely manner.

■

Use of a wide variety of internal and external quantitative and analytical and informational sources to assess likelihood of repayment.

■

Monitoring rating agency and third party surveillance sources with an emphasis on core holdings.

The Subadviser may sell a security for a variety of reasons, including duration management, yield curve positioning, sector rotation, a change in credit momentum outlook or if more attractive investment opportunities are identified.

The Fund may also:

■

Invest in when-issued securities and securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A securities").

■

Enter into futures transactions for hedging and investment purposes.

■

Invest in other investment companies to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Principal Investment Risks

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. The Fund does not represent a complete investment program. You may lose money by investing in the Fund.

Fund Summary

Below Investment Grade Fixed-Income Securities Risk: The Fund's investments in below investment grade fixed-income securities, also known as "junk bonds," may be subject to greater risks than other fixed-income securities, including being subject to greater levels of interest rate risk, credit/counterparty risk (including a greater risk of default) and liquidity risk. The ability of the issuer to make principal and interest payments is predominantly speculative for below investment grade fixed-income securities.

Credit/Counterparty Risk: Credit/counterparty risk is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction, will be unable or unwilling to make timely payments of interest or principal or to otherwise honor its obligations. 

Derivatives Risk: Derivative instruments (such as those in which the Fund may invest, including options, foreign currency transactions, futures transactions and swap transactions) are subject to changes in the value of the underlying assets or indices on which such instruments are based. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives will be effective or that suitable transactions will be available. Even a small investment in derivatives may give rise to leverage risk and can have a significant impact on the Fund's exposure to securities markets values, interest rates or currency exchange rates. It is possible that the Fund's liquid assets may be insufficient to support its obligations under its derivatives positions. The use of derivatives for other than hedging purposes may be considered a speculative activity, and involves greater risks than are involved in hedging. The use of derivatives may cause the Fund to incur losses greater than those that would have occurred had derivatives not been used. The Fund's use of derivatives, such as options, foreign currency transactions, futures transactions, and swap transactions, involves other risks, such as the credit risk relating to the other party to a derivative contract (which is greater for over-the-counter traded derivatives), the risk of difficulties in pricing and valuation, the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with changes in the value of relevant assets, rates or indices, liquidity risk, allocation risk and the risk of losing more than the initial margin required to initiate derivatives positions. There is also the risk that the Fund may be unable to terminate or sell a derivatives position at an advantageous time or price. The Fund's derivative counterparties may experience financial difficulties or otherwise be unwilling or unable to honor their obligations, possibly resulting in losses to the Fund. 

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Fund's investments will fall if interest rates rise.  Generally, the value of fixed-income securities rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when interest rates rise.  Interest rate risk generally is greater for funds that invest in fixed-income securities with relatively longer durations than for funds that invest in fixed-income securities with shorter durations.  In addition, an economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce the Fund's ability to sell them, negatively impacting the performance of the Fund.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk: The Fund will indirectly bear the management, service and other fees of any other investment companies in which it invests in addition to its own expenses. 

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to find a buyer for its investments when it seeks to sell them or to receive the price it expects. Securities acquired in a private placement, such as Rule 144A securities, generally are subject to strict restrictions on resale and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities. Therefore, the Fund may be unable to dispose of such securities when it desires to do so, or at the most advantageous time or price. Events that may lead to increased redemptions, such as market disruptions or increases in interest rates, may also negatively impact the liquidity of the Fund's investments when it needs to dispose of them. If the Fund is forced to sell its investments at an unfavorable time and/or under adverse conditions in order to meet redemption requests, such sales could negatively affect the Fund. Securities acquired in a private placement, such as Rule 144A securities, are generally subject to greater liquidity risk because they are subject to strict restrictions on resale and there may be no liquid secondary market or ready purchaser for such securities. Non-exchange traded derivatives are generally subject to greater liquidity risk as well. Liquidity issues may also make it difficult to value the Fund's investments.

Management Risk: A strategy used by the Fund's portfolio managers may fail to produce the intended result.

Market/Issuer Risk: The market value of the Fund's investments will move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based upon overall market and economic conditions, as well as a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuers of the Fund's investments, such as management performance, financial condition and demand for the issuers' goods and services.

Municipal Securities Risk: Municipal bonds are investments issued by states, cities, public authorities or political subdivisions to raise money for public purposes, including general obligation bonds and revenue obligations. Municipal securities are subject to information risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and the risks that economic, political, fiscal or regulatory events, legislative changes and the enforceability of rights of municipal bond holders could adversely affect the values of municipal bonds. Municipal obligations may be susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress and insolvent municipalities may file for bankruptcy, which could significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the municipal securities. In addition, if the municipal securities held by the Fund fail to meet certain legal requirements allowing interest distributed from such securities to be tax-exempt, the interest received and distributed to shareholders by the Fund may be taxable.

Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table

The bar chart and table shown below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year-to-year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for the one-year and Life-of-Fund periods compare to two broad measures of market performance. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available online at ngam.natixis.com and/or by calling the Fund toll-free at 800-225-5478.

Fund Summary

The chart does not reflect any sales charge that you may be required to pay when you buy or redeem the Fund's shares. A sales charge will reduce your return.

Total Returns for Class Y Shares

Highest Quarterly Return:
Second Quarter 2016, 2.21%
Lowest Quarterly Return:
Fourth Quarter 2016, -3.76%

Average Annual Total Returns
(for the periods ended December 31, 2016)	Past 1 Year		Life of Fund (12/31/12)
Class Y - Return Before Taxes	-0.55	%	1.48	%
Return After Taxes on Distributions	-0.55	%	1.48	%
Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares	0.33	%	1.47	%
Class A - Return Before Taxes	-3.75	%	0.40	%
Class C - Return Before Taxes	-2.42	%	0.45	%
Class T - Return Before Taxes	-3.29	%	0.54	%
Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index 1	0.25	%	2.42	%
Bloomberg Barclays 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index	-0.05	%	2.14	%

1Effective May 22, 2017, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index replaced the Bloomberg Barclays 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index as the Fund's primary benchmark because the Fund believes the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, an index which covers the U.S. dollar-denominated long-term tax exempt bond market, is a more appropriate comparison to the Fund's investment strategies. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The Fund did not have Class T shares outstanding during the periods shown above. The returns of Class T shares would have been substantially similar to the returns of the Fund's other share classes because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities and would only differ to the extent the other share classes did not have the same expenses. Performance of Class T shares shown above is that of Class A shares, which have the same expenses as Class T shares, restated to reflect the different sales load applicable to Class T shares. Prior to May 1, 2017, Total Returns in the bar chart and Return After Taxes on Distributions and Return After Taxes on Distributions & Sale of Fund Shares in the table were presented for Class A shares; such returns are now presented for Class Y shares, the largest share class in the Natixis Fund Complex.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans, qualified plans, education savings accounts, such as 529 plans, or individual retirement accounts. The after-tax returns are shown for only one class of the Fund. The Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for the one year period exceeds the Return Before Taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period. After-tax returns for the other classes of the Fund will vary. Index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Fund Summary

Tax Information

The Fund intends to distribute exempt-interest dividends, which are exempt from federal income tax. A portion of the Fund's exempt-interest dividends may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Also, a portion of the Fund's distributions may not qualify as exempt-interest dividends; rather, such portion will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, except for distributions to retirement plans and other investors that qualify for tax-exempt treatment under U.S. federal income tax law generally. Investments in such tax-advantaged plans will generally be taxed only upon withdrawal of monies from the tax-exempt arrangement.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of the Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website  for more information.
