This undertaking is in effect through March 31, 2023.
Accordingly, the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table and the Example table within the section “Fund Fees & Expenses” are amended and restated as follows with respect to the Fund:

The Fund’s operating expenses have been restated to reflect a reduction in management fees, effective as of July 1, 2021, as if such reduction had been in effect during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020. The information has been restated to better reflect anticipated expenses of the Fund.

Other expenses for Class T are estimated for the current fiscal year.

Natixis Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”) has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to limit the amount of the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to 1.10%, 1.85%, 0.80%, 1.10% and 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C, Class N, Class T and Class Y shares, respectively, exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expenses on securities sold short, organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect through March 31, 2023 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 N, 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.

In order to ensure that the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement do not exceed the amounts disclosed in the table, the Adviser may voluntarily waive additional advisory fees. This may result in the Class A, Class C, Class T and Class Y shareholders realizing a total annual fund operating expense after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement lower than 1.10%, 1.85%, 1.10% and 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C, Class T and Class Y shares, respectively. This additional waiver may be terminated at any time
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 waivers and/or reimbursements will only be in place through the dates 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:
