What You Should Know:
Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise.
The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. The fund can also invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets, these risks can be significant. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
In the extremely difficult market environment that characterized the end of 2008 and early 2009, widespread concern about the world’s financial markets triggered a massive flight to safety. This hurt risk markets and drove yields on U.S. Treasury securities to record lows. As the risk markets neared a bottom, Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund moved aggressively back into credit and securitized markets as well as into Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) at attractive valuations. These moves worked well for the fund.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the total return on Class A shares of the fund was 20.07% based on the net asset value and $0.66 in reinvested dividends. By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 10.56% for the fiscal period, while Morningstar’s Intermediate-Term Bond peer group returned 11.81%.
WHICH OF THE TACTICS YOU USED WAS MOST HELPFUL TO THE FUND?
Our move from a very defensive positioning in the fall of 2008 to a much more aggressive positioning late in 2008 and in 2009 as risk markets recovered was key to protecting capital through the worst of the financial crisis and participating in the upturn. Our increased allocation to higher-yielding securities was also strongly positive. Corporate bonds performed well, particularly industrials, which were the largest contributor. Strong security selection and our overweight positions in investment-grade financial and utility companies were also positive.
The recovery in the high-yield market began late in December of 2008 and continued through September of 2009. We doubled the fund’s exposure to high-yield securities during the year and began harvesting gains in earnest in the second quarter of 2009 as evidence mounted that economic conditions were stabilizing. An increasing number of companies issued new debt and some of our holdings in previously distressed companies — including Ford and GMAC — came back into favor.
DID THE DECLINE IN THE U.S. DOLLAR IMPACT THE FUND?
The fund’s significant allocation to the Japanese yen was an effective defensive measure during the closing quarter of 2008, and we sold most of the fund’s yen-denominated holdings late in 2008 at substantial gains. We opportunistically added positions in Australian and Canadian dollars to capture the anticipated rebound in commodity currencies as risk markets began to stabilize. During the summer of 2009, we shifted the fund’s remaining non-U.S.-dollar position back into Treasuries due to concerns mounting that the depreciating U.S. dollar might be overdue for a correction.
WHAT ABOUT OTHER POSITIONS? HOW DID THEY IMPACT PERFORMANCE?
Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) detracted from performance in the final quarter of 2008 and early in 2009, but this sector was very positive throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. This reflected improving investor confidence in higher-rated CMBS and support from government stimulus programs. Following a significant rally, we trimmed holdings in CMBS at a profit in the third quarter or 2009.
WHAT’S YOUR OUTLOOK?
The significant rebound from such distressed price levels and the sharp contraction in yield spreads has helped normalize most markets, but we believe there is still good value to be found should the U.S. and global economies continue to recover as expected. Going forward, the timing of the government’s exit strategy from its current levels of monetary and fiscal support, as well as investor risk preferences, will likely drive the markets over the next 12 months. Portfolio yield in the shorter maturity sectors should become increasingly important as Treasury yields start to normalize and inflation fears become more prevalent. We plan to maintain a high degree of liquidity in the fund in anticipation of what we expect to be a bumpy recovery and to take advantage of volatility we see ahead for the markets in the coming year.

Management Discussion
As the credit crisis eased last spring, investors turned away from low-yielding, government-backed issues in search of better returns in other sectors. High-yield bonds in particular benefited from this renewed risk appetite. Increased demand and stronger market liquidity pushed prices of lower-rated issues sharply higher and their yields plunged. By the end of the period, spreads – the yield advantage high-yield issues have over Treasury issues of similar maturity – had narrowed dramatically from the exceptionally wide levels that had prevailed at the height of the financial crisis.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles High Income Fund provided a total return at net asset value of 15.97%, including $0.33 in dividends reinvested during the period. The fund underperformed its benchmark, Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index, which returned 22.34% for the period. However, its performance was above the 13.16% average of the funds in Morningstar’s High Yield Bond category.
WHAT WERE THE BEST PERFORMING MARKET AREAS?
As capital returned to the credit markets in the latter part of fiscal 2009, lower-rated industrial bonds made the strongest contribution to results. The ability of lower-rated companies to refinance pending maturities brought default assumptions down significantly and enticed investors to reach for higher returns in the lower-rated portions of the market.
Improving conditions in the world financial system also spurred merger talks, notably in the consolidating pharmaceutical industry. This trend, combined with the broader debate over universal healthcare, spurred demand in the healthcare sector. As a result, consumer non-cyclicals led sector performance for the period. In terms of quality, the fund’s strongest returns came from securities rated B by Moody’s Investors Service.
WHAT CAUSED THE FUND TO LAG ITS BENCHMARK DURING THE YEAR?
In general, the fund underperformed its benchmark because its portfolio included more higher-quality issues during a period when the lower-quality sector provided the best results. Specifically, the fund was underweight in high-yield financials, where government guarantees of certain issues increased investor confidence. Subsequent infusions of capital as part of the government’s stimulus programs also enhanced performance in this area, but the fund’s participation was limited. The fund’s underweight in bonds rated CCC by Moody’s also hindered performance, as this sector recorded some of the period’s better gains. Moreover, our commitment to bank loans and Treasury securities – which are not part of the benchmark – also handicapped results, as higher-rated holdings lost favor in the second half of the year.
WHAT’S YOUR OUTLOOK?
Looking ahead, we continue to believe there is select value in corporate bonds. Despite their recent tightening, spreads remain wide relative to long-term averages. A vast majority of the spread tightening that has taken place this year is due to the re-emergence of liquidity in the markets. Over the long term, further spread tightening from these levels will most likely be generated by an improvement in global and U.S. economic fundamentals. Our view is that maintaining specific risk in the portfolio will present the best opportunity for long-term performance.
Global risk appetite has weakened the U.S. dollar, and we expect this may continue. Currencies from developed and emerging markets may offer more long-term upside potential, particularly the European peripheral currencies and Asian currencies tied to China and its global-growth story.

What You Should Know:
Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. The fund may also invest in public or private debt obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. or non-U.S. issuers. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade. Lower-rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher-rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
Trends in global fixed-income markets reversed course in the spring of 2009, as rising optimism about an economic recovery replaced fears of a protracted worldwide recession. The changing market sentiment helped investment-grade corporate bonds, high-yield debt and emerging market securities stage strong comebacks over the second half of the 12-month period ended September 30, 2009. The robust rally offset many of the losses incurred during the previous six months.
The fund’s positioning for a global economic recovery helped drive Loomis Sayles International Bond Fund’s strong relative performance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Based on the net asset value of Class A Shares, the fund produced a total return of 20.41%, including $0.20 in dividends reinvested during the period. The fund outpaced the 15.41% return on its benchmark, Barclays Capital Global Aggregate ex-USD Bond Index and the 14.82% average return of the funds in Morningstar’s World Bond category.
WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND’S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
The fund’s emphasis on the U.S., U.K. and European corporate bond markets, as well as strong security selection, was primarily responsible for its outperformance. Our focus on corporate bonds had held back results during the first half of the fiscal year, but the fund was positioned well when credit markets began a recovery about halfway through the period. As investors became less risk-averse and more interested in the yield advantage that corporate bonds have over government debt, money poured into the higher-yield sectors of the fixed-income markets.
In addition to investment-grade corporate debt, holdings in high-yield corporate bonds and emerging-market securities helped propel the fund’s solid return. The fund’s overall currency strategy also helped, as our overweight position in the Norwegian krone and tactical positioning in the South Korean won also contributed to strongly positive returns.
WHICH STRATEGIES DETRACTED FROM THE FUND’S RESULTS?
While our exposure to U.S. corporate securities supported performance, the financial institutions represented in the portfolio generally detracted in the closing quarter of 2008 and early 2009 as a result of the rapid deterioration in the international financial markets.
Despite the overall success of our Scandinavian currency strategy, the fund’s performance was negatively impacted by its underweight relative to its benchmark in the Icelandic krona. The fund was also underweight in the Japanese yen, which was a drag on performance when the yen strengthened against the U.S. dollar during the latter part of the year.
WHAT’S YOUR OUTLOOK?
Despite strong performance this past quarter, we still see attractive opportunities in corporate bonds, the high-yield sectors of the securitized market and selected currencies. Yield spreads – the difference in yield between corporate bonds and Treasury securities – are still wide relative to their long-term averages and may tighten further as the economy recovers.
Market trends and conditions vary from country to country, but we believe the overall global economy is moving toward a gradual recovery. In the United States, however, we think the recovery is likely to be weak, hampered by high unemployment and sluggish consumer and investment spending. Accordingly, we limited the fund’s exposure to U.S. high-yield corporate debt. We also added to the fund’s holdings in non-U.S. dollar currencies. We also plan to reduce the duration of our U.S. dollar-based investments in anticipation of higher yields in 2010.

What You Should Know:
Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. Securities issued by the U.S. government are guaranteed by the U.S. government if held to maturity; mutual funds that invest in these securities are not guaranteed. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies may not be government guaranteed.
Management Discussion
After a difficult start to the fiscal year last fall, Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund experienced strong performance during the balance of the year, outperforming both its benchmark and the average return of its Morningstar peer group. The massive flight to quality, which was triggered by the financial meltdown during the closing quarter of 2008, gave way to an increasing willingness on the part of investors to accept greater risk. Price recovery in the fund’s position in mortgage-related securities was primarily responsible for the fund’s outperformance.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s total return based on the net asset value of Class A shares was 9.05% including $0.36 in reinvested dividends. For the same period, Barclays Capital U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index returned 5.43%, while Morningstar’s Short Government category returned 5.48%.
WHICH SECTORS HAD THE MOST POSITIVE IMPACT ON FUND PERFORMANCE?
Although mortgage-related and asset-backed securities offer a yield advantage over U.S. Treasury securities, they had become significantly undervalued in the latter part of 2008, as concerns surrounding the real estate and mortgage markets mounted. However, beginning in the second quarter of 2009 and continuing into the third quarter, confidence began to return to the markets and investors recognized the compelling values offered by higher-quality mortgage securities. As a result, investors’ appetite for risk led to a shift away from safety and toward securities with a combination of better income and capital appreciation potential.
Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) also performed well, reflecting the modest improvement in the economic outlook during the second and third quarter of 2009. Concerns about deflation eased, resulting in strengthened TIPS valuations.
WHICH SECTORS HAD A NEGATIVE IMPACT DURING THE YEAR?
The same sectors that had provided the most support for the fund in the turbulent period at the end of 2008 and early 2009 were relative underperformers during the market recovery in the second and third quarters of 2009. Investors turned their attention from Treasuries and securities issued by government sponsored entities (GSEs) toward higher-yielding, lower-quality sectors. Performance in the top-quality arena fell behind. As interest rates declined, securities with shorter maturities also lagged relative to longer-term securities with higher yields, so the fund’s relatively short maturity detracted from overall performance.
WHICH OF THE TACTICS YOU USED WAS MOST HELPFUL DURING THE PERIOD?
This fund’s mandate is to seek a high current return consistent with preservation of capital, primarily by investing in short-term government securities. However, within that framework, we strive to provide shareholders with attractive returns with as little risk as possible in any given market environment. Early in the fund’s fiscal year, we increased its holdings in TIPS because they appeared to be attractively valued. This move gave the fund yields similar to non-inflation-protected securities at a lower cost. As the year progressed, we turned our attention to securities offering even higher income potential, primarily in the mortgage-related market.
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
For the intermediate term, we look for a gradual rise in interest rates and we believe our mortgage positions will benefit from the relatively stable interest-rate environment we see ahead. We believe the Federal Reserve Board will hold off on raising interest rates longer than the majority of investors expect, and we do not anticipate any significant shifts in the yield curve.
Despite the market’s positive performance in the latter part of 2009, we still see attractive opportunities for conservative bond investors, but we think the “rising tide lifts all boats” phenomenon may be nearing an end. Good results are likely to become harder to find.

What You Should Know:
Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise.
The fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade and the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. Lower rated debt securities have speculative characteristics and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity. The fund can also invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities and the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets, these risks can be significant. Fund shares should be viewed as a long-term investment.
Management Discussion
Beginning in March of 2009, signs that the recession was easing and the global economy was righting itself drew investors away from top-quality issues to seek higher returns. As a result of rigorous rallies following last winter’s severely depressed market, bond prices rose in a variety of corporate sectors and ratings categories. Resulting higher prices narrowed the extraordinarily wide spreads, or yield advantage, that had prevailed between Treasury and corporate issues during the economic crisis.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund provided a total return at net asset value of 20.56%, including $0.86 in dividends and $0.08 in capital gains reinvested during the year. The fund outperformed its benchmark, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 10.56% over the period. It also outdistanced Morningstar’s Multisector Bond category, which had an average return of 13.15%.
WHAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUND’S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
Investment-grade corporate issues were among the best performers, with industrial bonds rated BBB by Moody’s Investor Services leading results. In addition, our emphasis on investment-grade industrials aided returns relative to the benchmark. Notable strength came from cable, wireline communications and oil field services companies. Consumer-related sectors, including healthcare and tobacco, also delivered strong performance, as did retail issues and others expected to benefit from an anticipated economic upturn. Financials were another source of positive performance, as surviving banks and other financial firms recovered from a period of exceptional stress. Real estate investment trusts and select utility companies also contributed. The high-yield sector as a whole gained the greatest impetus from investors’ renewed risk appetite, with financial securities rated CC by Moody’s Investors Service leading the way. Among high-yield industrial issues, automotive, pharmaceutical, and residential construction, as well as wireless telecommunications all boosted portfolio returns.
As currencies of commodity-rich countries rallied amid improving global growth prospects, the fund gained positive momentum from holdings denominated in the Brazilian real, the Norwegian krone, the New Zealand dollar and Indonesia’s rupiah. Although Canada’s dollar also strengthened, weak local market conditions diluted the contributions of the fund’s Canadian holdings. In contrast, strong regional markets amplified the positive impact of the fund’s euro-denominated investments.
Among convertibles, security-specific gains in the technology, wireline telecommunications and automotive industries added to results. Asset-backed obligations, especially credit-card issues, also moved higher. In addition, the fund’s relatively small positions in U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, as well as its underweight in mortgage-backed securities, proved helpful as improving risk tolerance caused investors to turn toward riskier assets in search of higher returns.
WHAT WERE THE PERIOD’S DISAPPOINTMENTS?
The fund experienced few areas of underperformance amid the widespread bullish sentiment in the past several months. High-yield electric utilities were a relative underperformer. In terms of quality categories, industrial bonds rated CCC by Moody’s detracted from the fund’s relative performance.
WHAT’S YOUR OUTLOOK?
Looking ahead, we continue to believe there is select value in corporate bonds. Despite their recent tightening, spreads remain wide relative to long-term averages. A vast majority of the spread tightening that has taken place this year is due to the re-emergence of liquidity in the markets. Over the long term, further spread tightening from these levels will most likely be generated by an improvement in global and U.S. economic fundamentals. Our view is that maintaining specific risk in the portfolio will present the best opportunity for long-term performance.
Global risk appetite has weakened the U.S. dollar, and we expect this may continue. Currencies from developed and emerging markets may offer more long-term upside potential, particularly the European peripheral currencies and Asian currencies tied to China and its global-growth story.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES
As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; certain exchange fees; and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. In addition, each fund may assess a minimum balance fee of $20 on an annual basis for accounts that fall below the required minimum to establish an account. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the funds’ prospectuses. The examples below 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 April 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009. 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 of 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 the 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, redemption fees, or exchange fees. 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, including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement and, with respect to the Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund, its Advisory Administration Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review and Governance 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 adviser ( the “Adviser”) believes 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 of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ expenses to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Funds’ Adviser and (v) information obtained through the completion of a questionnaire by the Adviser (the Trustees are consulted as to the information requested through that questionnaire). The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also consider other matters such as (i) the Adviser’s financial results and financial condition, (ii) each 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 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 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 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 Adviser.
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 of Trustees 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 of funds, 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 its peer group. The portfolio management team for each Fund or other representatives of the Adviser make periodic presentations to the Contract Review and Governance Committee and/or the full Board of Trustees, 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 Board of Trustees most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at their meeting held in June 2009. The Agreements were continued for a one-year period for the Funds. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, 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 different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included 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 Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including recent or planned investments by the Adviser in additional personnel or other resources. They considered the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation in order to attract and retain capable personnel and the need for the Adviser to expend additional resources as the Funds grew in size.
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.
15
BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
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 Adviser. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information which compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party which analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics which 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 supported the renewal of the Agreement relating to that Fund. In the case of each Fund that had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Funds’ Agreements. These factors varied from Fund to Fund, but included one or more of the following: (1) that the Fund had a limited operating history, (2) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Fund’s Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies (3) that the Fund’s performance, although lagging in certain recent periods, was stronger over the longer term (4) that the Fund’s more recent performance was competitive when compared to relevant performance benchmarks or peer groups, and (5) reductions in the Fund’s expense levels resulting from decreased expenses were not yet fully reflected in the Fund’s performance results.
The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the Funds’ performance as a fund family generally (as noted by certain financial publications), 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 each of the Agreements, that the performance of the Funds and the Adviser 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 Adviser and its affiliates from their respective relationships with the Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for 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 Adviser to comparable accounts. 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 and the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of mutual fund assets. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory fee, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of such Fund. 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, as of December 31, 2008, all of the Natixis Funds in this report have expense caps in place, and the Trustees considered the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser under these caps. The Trustees noted that the Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund had an advisory fee rate that was above the median of a peer group of funds. The Trustees considered the circumstances that accounted for such relatively higher expenses. The Trustees noted that for the Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund, the Fund’s total expense ratio was below the median even though the advisory fee was above the median and they noted that they had recently implemented an additional breakpoint in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Trustees also noted that while the Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund’s advisory fee was above the median for its peer group of funds, after the application of the Fund’s expense cap, it was below the median.
The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received or to be received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Adviser’s and its 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 profitability was an issue, the performance of the relevant Funds, the expense levels of the Funds, and whether the Adviser had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to such Funds.
16
BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fee charged to each of the Funds 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 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 Adviser 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 noted that each of the Funds was subject to an expense cap or waiver. For Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund, the Trustees noted that they had recently implemented an additional breakpoint in response to the growth of assets in the Fund. The Trustees further considered the effect of recent market volatility on all of the Fund’s assets and possible effect on the Fund’s future profitability. 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 Funds, as discussed above.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees considered, 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 turmoil 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 Adviser. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates were providing to the Funds. |
· | the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Adviser and its affiliates, both under the Agreements 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, administrative and brokerage services to the Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. 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 should be continued through June 30, 2010.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009
1. Organization. Natixis Funds Trust I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trusts” and each a “Trust”) are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Each 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:
Natixis Funds Trust I:
Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund (the “Core Plus Bond Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Funds II:
Loomis Sayles High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”)
Loomis Sayles International Bond Fund (the “International Bond Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund (the “Limited Term Government and Agency Fund”)
Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”)
The Funds each offer Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the Prospectus.
Class A shares of all Funds except Limited Term Government and Agency Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class A shares of Limited Term Government and Agency Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, but pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for eight years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares), and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if those shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other Class of shares and pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a 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 generally intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are excepted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund’s Prospectus.
Most expenses of the Trusts 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 the 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 transfer agent fees applicable to such class). 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 dividends 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 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 that have occurred through November 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring recognition in the financial statements or additional disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements.
a. Valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. 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 a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued using interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day.
Certain Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities
69
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
September 30, 2009
are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.
b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for 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. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Negative principal adjustments (in the event of deflation) are recorded as reductions of interest income to the extent of interest income earned. The amount by which negative principal adjustments exceed interest income earned or positive principal adjustments on a cumulative basis is recorded as an increase to the cost basis of the security. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. 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 Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value 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 on the respective dates of such transactions.
Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized 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 and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Each 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. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell generally are used to hedge a Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. Also, a contract to buy or sell can 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 the 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. 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.
e. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. Each 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 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 September 30, 2009 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 twelve 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 taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable, and are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
f. 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 annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
70
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
September 30, 2009
States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes for items such as foreign currency transactions, treasury inflation protected bond adjustments, premium amortization, defaulted bond adjustments, paydown gains and losses, distribution redesignations, expired capital loss carryforwards and return of capital and capital gains distributions from REITS. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, premium amortization accruals, forward contracts mark to market, dividends payable, securities lending collateral gain/loss adjustment, REIT basis adjustments, discount accretion on inflation-protected securities and defaulted bond interest. 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 years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

g. Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 100% 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. It is each Fund’s policy, regarding tri-party arrangements, that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. 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.

h. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.
As of September 30, 2009, there were no securities on loan.
i. Delayed Delivery Commitments. Purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery instruments (identified in the Portfolio of Investments as TBA investments) may have a similar effect on a Fund’s net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. The price of the underlying instruments and the date when they will be paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. If a Fund enters into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents will be maintained in an amount at least equal to the commitment with the custodian and/ or broker. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
j. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their 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. Effective October 1, 2008, the Funds adopted accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures which establish a hierarchy for which various inputs are used 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.); |
• | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs for situations where 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 following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of September 30, 2009, at value:

4. Derivatives. Effective April 1, 2009, the Funds adopted accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities which require enhanced disclosures. Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that the Funds currently use are forward foreign currency contracts.
The Funds are 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 Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Funds’ holdings of foreign securities. The Funds may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the funds. High Income Fund and International Bond Fund engaged in forward foreign currency contract transactions during the year ended September 30, 2009.

c. Service and Distribution Fees. Natixis Distributors, L.P. (“Natixis Distributors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trusts. Pursuant to this agreement, Natixis Distributors serves as principal underwriter of each Fund.

Under the Class A Plans, each Fund pays Natixis Distributors 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 Natixis Distributors in providing personal services to investors in Class A shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

d. Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Natixis Distributors has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide certain recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Certain services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of those customers were registered directly with the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds agreed to pay a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund held by the intermediaries (which generally are a percentage of the value of shares held) not exceeding what the Funds would have paid its transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediaries. Natixis Distributors pays the remainder of the fees.

f. Trustees Fees and Expenses. The Funds do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distributors, Natixis US, or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. 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 $65,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,500 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,250 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,125 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series 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.
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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series 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, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, 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 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, net depreciation in the value of participants’ deferral accounts has been included as a reduction of miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations, as follows:

g. Redemption Fees. Effective June 1, 2009, the redemption fee imposed on Class A shares of High Income Fund was eliminated. Prior to June 1, 2009, shareholders of Class A shares of High Income Fund were charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeemed, including redeeming by exchange within 60 days of acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee was deducted from the shareholder’s redemption or exchange proceeds and was paid to the Fund. These fees were accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

7. Line of Credit. Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and the Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is 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 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.125% 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.
Prior to March 11, 2009, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participated in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each Fund that participated in the line of credit. 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 plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% 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.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Funds had no borrowings under these agreements.
8. Concentration of Risk. International Bond Fund is a non-diversified fund. Compared with diversified mutual funds, the International Bond Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular country. Therefore, the International Bond Fund’s returns could be significantly affected by the performance of any one of the small number of countries in its portfolio.
Each Fund may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of expropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the prices of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
9. Shareholders. At September 30, 2009, the Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held 19,053 shares of beneficial interest of Limited Term Government and Agency Fund. At September 30, 2009, Natixis US owned shares equating to 46.46% of International Bond Fund’s net assets. At September 30, 2009, three shareholders individually owned more than 5% of the High Income Fund’s total outstanding shares, representing in aggregate, 21.90% of the Fund.
10. Capital Shares. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Natixis Funds Trust I and Loomis Sayles Funds II and Shareholders of Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund, Loomis Sayles High Income Fund, Loomis Sayles International Bond Fund, Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund, and Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund, a series of Natixis Funds Trust I, and Loomis Sayles High Income Fund, Loomis Sayles International Bond Fund, Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund and Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund, each a series of Loomis Sayles Funds II (collectively, the “Funds”), at September 30, 2009, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
