[2] Natixis Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for Class N shares. This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2022 and may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
[3] The 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 1.30%, 2.05%, 1.00%, 1.30% and 1.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, C, N, T and 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.

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 fees or expenses were 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 for
Class N 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. The example
for Class C shares for the ten-year period reflects the conversion to Class A shares after eight years. The example does not take into account brokerage
commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries that you may pay on your purchases and sales of shares of the Fund. Although your actual costs may
be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

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
22% of the average value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks and Performance Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the Fund primarily invests in common stocks of U.S. companies. The Fund generally invests in securities of larger
capitalization companies in any industry. Harris Associates L.P. (“Harris Associates”) uses a value investment philosophy in selecting equity securities,
including common stocks. This value investment philosophy is based upon the belief that, over time, a company’s stock price converges with the company’s
intrinsic value. By “intrinsic value,” Harris Associates means its estimate of the price a knowledgeable buyer would pay to acquire the entire business. Harris
Associates believes that investing in securities priced significantly below what Harris Associates believes is a company’s intrinsic value presents the best
opportunity to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives.
Harris Associates uses this value investment philosophy to identify companies that it believes have discounted stock prices compared to what Harris
Associates believes are the companies’ intrinsic values. In assessing such companies, Harris Associates looks for the following characteristics, although not
all of the companies selected will have these attributes: (1) free cash flows and intelligent investment of excess cash; (2) earnings that are growing and are
reasonably predictable; and (3) high level of company management ownership.
Once Harris Associates identifies a stock that it believes is selling at a significant discount to Harris Associates’ estimate of intrinsic value and that the issuer
has one or more of the additional qualities mentioned above, Harris Associates generally will consider buying that security for the Fund. Harris Associates
usually sells a security when the price approaches its estimated value or the issuer’s fundamentals change. Harris Associates monitors each holding and
adjusts its price targets as warranted to reflect changes in the issuer’s fundamentals. The Fund’s portfolio typically holds 30 to 60 stocks.
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. 
 
The significance of any specific risk to an investment in the Fund will vary over time, depending on the composition of the Fund’s portfolio, market conditions,
and other factors. You should read all of the risk information presented below carefully, because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the
Fund.
Equity Securities Risk:
The value of the Fund’s investments in equity securities could be subject to unpredictable declines in the value of individual
securities and periods of below-average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. 
Value stocks can perform differently from the
market as a whole and from other types of stocks. Value stocks also present the risk that their lower valuations fairly reflect their business prospects and that
investors will not agree that the stocks represent favorable investment opportunities, and they may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth
stocks during any given period. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of the issuer’s bonds generally take
precedence over the claims of those who own preferred stock or common stock.
Focused Investment Risk:
Because the Fund may invest in a small number of industries or securities, it may have more risk because the impact of a single
economic, political or regulatory occurrence may have a greater adverse impact on the Fund’s net asset value.
Cybersecurity and Technology Risk:
The Fund, its service providers, and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information
technology and communications systems, which are subject to a number of different threats and risks that could adversely affect the Fund and its
shareholders. Cybersecurity and other operational and technology issues may result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders.
Large Investor Risk:
Ownership of shares of the Fund may be concentrated in one or a few large investors. Such investors may redeem shares in large
quantities or on a frequent basis. Redemptions by a large investor can affect the performance of the Fund, may increase realized capital gains, including
short-term capital gains taxable as ordinary income, may accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders and may increase transaction costs
.
These transactions potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any). Such
transactions may also increase the Fund’s expenses.
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
.

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. 
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 Fund 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. 
After-tax returns for the other classes of the Fund will vary.
Index performance reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.
