I. PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

Background.

The purpose of this proposal is for shareholders to elect four nominees to the Board of Trustees of each Trust. These four nominees are currently serving as Trustees as a result of their previous appointment by the Board. Pursuant to the provisions of each Trust’s current Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have determined that the number of Trustees shall be fixed at eleven. It is intended that the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of the election of all of the four nominees listed below, unless such authority has been withheld. Should the nominees be elected, each nominee’s term of office will be until his successor is elected and qualified, or until he sooner dies, retires, is removed or becomes disqualified. If a nominee should be unavailable for election at the time of the Meeting (which is not presently anticipated), the persons named as proxies may vote for other persons in their discretion, or the Trustees may vote to fix the number of Trustees at fewer than eleven or to leave a vacancy in the Board. The required vote is discussed below in “Other Information—Required Vote.”

All of the persons named below currently are Trustees of the Trusts and have served in that capacity continuously since originally elected or appointed (except for Mr. Allison, as described in the “Information About the Trustees” table below), including the four nominees who are the subject of this proposal. Messrs. Graham T. Allison, Jr., Edward A. Benjamin, Robert J. Blanding, Daniel M. Cain and John T. Hailer, and Mses. Sandra O. Moose and Cynthia L. Walker were elected as Trustees by shareholders of Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Natixis Cash Management Trust, Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II at a Special Meeting held on June 2, 2005, by shareholders of Hansberger International Series at a Special Meeting held on September 12, 2007 and by the Sole Shareholder of Gateway Trust on October 12, 2007. Those Trustees listed under “Interested Trustees” are “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), of the Trusts by virtue of their affiliation with Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”), Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) or the Trusts’ principal underwriters, Natixis Asset Management Distributors, L.P and Loomis Sayles Distributors, L.P. The Trustees who are candidates for election who have not previously been elected by shareholders, but who currently serve on the Board of Trustees by previous appointment, are Messrs. Kenneth A. Drucker, Wendell J. Knox, Erik R. Sirri and Peter J. Smail (the “Nominees”).

Section 16 of the 1940 Act provides that vacancies on the Boards of Trustees may be filled only by a meeting of shareholders duly called for that purpose, unless at least two-thirds of the Trustees holding office immediately after the appointment were elected by the shareholders of the Trust. Because each of the Nominees was

3

appointed by the Trustees rather than elected by shareholders, the operation of this provision could potentially restrict the ability of the Trustees to appoint new Trustees in the future unless the Nominees are elected by shareholders.

Each Fund is a series of one of the Trusts. Natixis Funds Trust I consists of seven separate series. Natixis Funds Trust II consists of four series. Natixis Funds Trust IV, Natixis Cash Management Trust and Gateway Trust each consist of one series. Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Natixis Cash Management Trust and Gateway Trust are sometimes referred to as the “Natixis Funds Trusts.” Loomis Sayles Funds I consists of ten separate series and Loomis Sayles Funds II consists of eleven separate series. Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II are sometimes referred to as the “Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts.” Hansberger International Series consists of five separate series.

Information About the Trustees.

The Board believes that the Nominees are qualified to continue to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Trusts and that it is appropriate to nominate them for election by shareholders for the following reasons:

• Kenneth A. Drucker—experience as lead independent trustee and chairman of the Audit Committee of Gateway Fund for 25 years, independent director of M Fund (mutual funds), independent director and chairman of the Audit Committee of Formica Corporation, as well as his extensive executive experience, including as vice president and treasurer of Sequa Corporation (NYSE) and experience at a public accounting firm. Mr. Drucker is a Certified Public Accountant and a member of the American Institute of CPAs and the Connecticut Society of CPAs.

• Wendell J. Knox—experience on the board of directors of four other business organizations, as well as his executive experience, including roles as president and chief executive officer of a consulting company.

• Erik R. Sirri—experience as Director of the Division of Trading and Markets at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as his academic experience as a professor of finance at Babson College and his training as an economist. The Board also considered the fact that Mr. Sirri has also served as a consultant for securities firms, stock exchanges, mutual fund companies, issuers and information vendors on a variety of regulatory and business matters.

• Peter J. Smail—over 20 years experience in the mutual fund industry and his executive experience, including roles as president of Fidelity Investment’s defined contribution business, as well as president and chief executive officer of Pyramis Global Advisors at Fidelity Investments.

The following table provides information about the Trustees, including information about their principal occupations during the past five years, information about other directorships held at public companies or investment companies, and a summary of the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion that the Trustee should serve as such. For the purposes of this table and this Proxy Statement, the term “Independent Trustee” means those Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of the relevant Trust, and the term “Interested Trustee” means those Trustees who are “interested persons” of the relevant Trust. In certain circumstances, Trustees are also required to have no direct or indirect financial interest in the approval of a matter being voted on in order to be considered “independent” for the purposes of the requisite approval.

* Each Trustee serves until retirement, resignation or removal from the Board of Trustees. The current retirement age is 72; however, the Trustees have designated 2010 as a transition period so that any Trustees who are currently age 72 or older or who reach age 72 during the remainder of 2010 will not be required to retire until the end of calendar year 2011. The position of Chairperson

10

of the Board is appointed for a two-year term. Ms. Moose was appointed to serve an additional two-year term as the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees on November 20, 2009.

** The Trustees of the Trusts serve as Trustees of a fund complex that includes all series of the Natixis Funds Trusts, the Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series (collectively, the “Fund Complex”).

¹ Mr. Drucker was appointed as a Trustee effective July 1, 2008.

² Mr. Knox was appointed as a Trustee effective July 1, 2009.

³ Mr. Sirri and Mr. Smail were appointed as Trustees effective December 1, 2009

⁴ Mr. Blanding is deemed an “interested person” of the Trusts because he holds the following positions with an affiliated person of the Trusts: President, Chairman, Director and Chief Executive Officer of Loomis Sayles.

⁵ Mr. Hailer is deemed an “interested person” of the Trusts because he holds the following positions with an affiliated person of the Trusts: President and Chief Executive Officer-U.S. and Asia, Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P.

Each Trustee serves until retirement, resignation or removal from the Board of Trustees. If a vacancy exists for any reason, the remaining Trustees may fill such vacancy by appointing another Trustee so long as, immediately after such appointment, at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected by shareholders. If, at any time, less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by the shareholders, the Trustees then in office will promptly call a shareholders’ meeting for the purpose of electing Trustees. Otherwise, there will normally be no meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless, as in the current situation, the Trustees believe it would be appropriate to hold such a meeting.

The Board of Trustees of the Trusts is currently composed of two Interested and nine Independent Trustees. The total number of meetings of the Board of Trustees for each Trust’s last fiscal year is listed in the following table. For each Trust, all the current Trustees attended at least 75% of the Board and relevant committee meetings held during each Trust’s last fiscal year.

Leadership and Structure of the Board.

The Board of Trustees is led by the Chairperson of the Board, who is an Independent Trustee. The Board of Trustees currently consists of eleven Trustees, nine of whom are Independent Trustees. The Trustees have delegated significant oversight authority to the two standing committees of each Trust, the Audit Committee and Contract Review and Governance Committee, both of which consist solely of Independent Trustees. These committees meet separately and at

13

times jointly, with the joint meetings intended to educate and involve all Independent Trustees in significant committee-level topics. As well as handling matters directly, the committees raise matters to the Board of Trustees for consideration. In addition to the oversight performed by the committees and the Board of Trustees, the Chairperson of the Board and the chairpersons of each committee interact frequently with management regarding topics to be considered at Board and committee meetings as well as items arising between meetings. At least once a year the Board of Trustees reviews its governance structure. The Board of Trustees believes its leadership structure is appropriate and effective in that it allows for oversight at the committee or Board level, as the case may be, while facilitating communications among the Trustees and between the Board and Fund management.

Standing Board Committees.

The Contract Review and Governance Committee of the Trusts consists solely of Independent Trustees and considers matters relating to advisory, subadvisory and distribution arrangements, potential conflicts of interest between Fund advisers and each Trust, and governance matters relating to the Trusts. The Contract Review and Governance Committee also makes nominations for Independent Trustee membership on each Board of Trustees when necessary and considers recommendations from shareholders of the Funds.

The total number of meetings of the Contract Review and Governance Committee for each Trust’s last fiscal year is listed in the following table:

Trust	Fiscal Year Ended	Number of Meetings
Natixis Funds Trust I* Natixis Funds Trust II Gateway Trust Hansberger International Series	December 31, 2009	5
Natixis Funds Trust IV	January 31, 2010	5
Natixis Cash Management Trust	June 30, 2009	5
Loomis Sayles Funds I Loomis Sayles Funds II	September 30, 2009	5
*  Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund, a series of Natixis Funds Trust I, has a fiscal year end of September 30, which is different from the other Funds in the Trust.

The Audit Committee of the Trusts consists solely of Independent Trustees and considers matters relating to the scope and results of the Trusts’ audits and serves as a forum in which the independent registered public accounting firm can raise any issues or problems identified in an audit with the Board of Trustees. This

14

Committee also reviews and monitors compliance with stated investment objectives and policies, and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations as well as operational issues relating to the transfer agent, administrator, sub-administrator and custodian. In addition, the Audit Committee implements procedures for receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Fund regarding its accounting and internal accounting controls and the confidential, anonymous submission by officers of the Fund or employees of certain service providers of concerns related to such matters.

The total number of meetings of the Audit Committee for each Trust’s last fiscal year is listed in the following table:

Trust	Fiscal Year Ended	Number of Meetings
Natixis Funds Trust I* Natixis Funds Trust II Gateway Trust Hansberger International Series	December 31, 2009	4
Natixis Funds Trust IV	January 31, 2010	4
Natixis Cash Management Trust	June 30, 2009	4

Loomis Sayles Funds II
*  Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund, a series of Natixis Funds Trust I, has a fiscal year end of September 30, which is different from the other Funds in the Trust.

The current membership of each committee is as follows:

Audit Committee	Contract Review and Governance Committee
Daniel M. Cain – Chairman	Edward A. Benjamin – Chairman
Kenneth A. Drucker	Graham T. Allison, Jr.
Cynthia L. Walker	Wendell J. Knox
	Erik R. Sirri
	Peter J. Smail

As chairperson of the Board of Trustees, Ms. Moose is an ex officio member of both Committees.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight of the Funds

The Board’s role is one of oversight of the practices and processes of the Funds and their service providers, rather than active management of the Trusts, including in matters relating to risk management. The Board seeks to understand the key risks facing the Funds, including those involving conflicts of interest; how

15

Fund management identifies and monitors these risks on an ongoing basis; how Fund management develops and implements controls to mitigate these risks; and how Fund management tests the effectiveness of those controls.

Periodically, Fund officers provide the full Board with an overview of the enterprise risk assessment program in place at Natixis Advisors and Natixis Distributors, L.P., which serve as the administrator of and principal underwriter to the Funds, respectively. Fund officers on a quarterly and annual basis also provide the Board (or one of its standing committees) with written and oral reports on regulatory and compliance matters, operational and service provider matters, organizational developments, product proposals, Fund and internal audit results, and insurance and fidelity bond coverage, along with a discussion of the risks and controls associated with these matters, and periodically make presentations to management on risk issues and industry best practices. Fund service providers, including advisers, subadvisers, transfer agents and the custodian, periodically provide Fund management and/or the Board with information about their risk assessment programs and/or the risks arising out of their activities. The scope and frequency of these reports vary. Fund officers also communicate with the Trustees between meetings regarding material exceptions and other items germane to the Board’s risk oversight function.

Pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) who is responsible for administering the Funds’ compliance program, including monitoring and enforcing compliance by the Funds and their service providers with the federal securities laws. The CCO has an active role in daily Fund operations and maintains a working relationship with all relevant advisory, compliance, operations and administration personnel for the Funds’ service providers. On at least a quarterly basis, the CCO reports to the Independent Trustees on significant compliance program developments, including material compliance matters, and on an annual basis, the CCO provides the full Board with a written report that summarizes his review and assessment of the adequacy of the compliance programs of the Funds and their service providers. The CCO also periodically communicates with the Audit Committee members between its scheduled meetings.

**** Mr. Sirri and Mr. Smail were appointed as Trustees effective December 1, 2009.

***** Absolute Asia Dynamic Equity Fund commenced operations on February 26, 2010.

¹ Messrs. Hailer and Blanding are Interested Trustees.

The Trusts pay no compensation to their officers or to their Trustees who are Interested Trustees.

The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000. 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

21

annual rate of $80,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each committee meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 for each meeting he or she attends telephonically. Each member of the ad hoc Committee on Alternative Investments (Messrs. Benjamin, Cain and Drucker) received a one-time fee of $10,000. The ad hoc Committee on Alternative Investments is not a standing committee. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund.

The Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series do not provide pension or retirement benefits to Trustees, but have adopted a deferred compensation plan under which each Trustee may elect not to receive fees from the Funds on a current basis but to receive in a subsequent period an amount equal to the value that such fees would have been if they had been invested in a Fund or Funds selected by the Trustee on the normal payment date for such fees.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Trustees of the Trusts received the amounts set forth in the following table for serving as Trustees of the Trusts.

¹ Audit Fees: Fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

² Audit-Related Fees: Fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees,” including accounting consultations for proposed transactions or concerning financial accounting and reporting standards and other audit or attest services not required by statute or regulation.

³ Tax Fees: Fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews and tax distribution and analysis reviews.

⁴ All Other Fees: Fees for products and services provided by the auditor other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”

^* One series of Natixis Funds Trust I, Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund, has a fiscal year end of September 30, which is different from the other Funds in the Trust.

On an annual basis, the Treasurer of the Funds submits to the Audit Committee information on the audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services to be rendered to the Funds that require pre-approval by the Audit Committee. This

25

information provides a description of each type of service that is expected to require pre-approval, the maximum fees that can be paid for each service without further approval and the rationale for engaging the independent auditor to perform each service. The Audit Committee reviews and approves these services and reviews the projected fees for the next calendar year.

A report is provided to the Audit Committee at regularly scheduled, quarterly Audit Committee meetings containing a summary of the services provided during the prior quarter and the level of fees associated with those services. Any subsequent revisions to already pre-approved services or fees (including fee increases) are also presented for consideration at the quarterly meetings as needed. If, subsequent to the annual pre-approval of services by the Audit Committee, the Funds or one of their affiliates determine that they would like to engage the Funds’ independent auditors to perform a service not already pre-approved, the Funds or such affiliate submits a request to the Treasurer. If the Treasurer determines that the service fits within the independence guidelines (e.g., it is not a prohibited service), the Treasurer will arrange for a discussion of the service to be included on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting so that pre-approval can be considered.

If, in the opinion of the Treasurer of the Funds, a proposed engagement needs to commence before the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, the Treasurer shall submit a written summary of the proposed engagement to all members of the Audit Committee outlining the services, the estimated maximum cost, the category of the services (e.g., audit, audit-related, tax or other) and the rationale for engaging the independent auditor to perform the services. Pursuant to procedures approved by the Boards, to the extent the proposed engagement involves audit, audit-related or tax services, any one individual member of the Audit Committee who is an Independent Trustee is authorized under these procedures to pre-approve the engagement. To the extent the proposed engagement involves non-audit services other than audit, audit-related or tax services, the approval of a majority of the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement. The Treasurer will arrange for this interim review and coordinate with the appropriate member(s) of the Audit Committee. An independent auditor must not commence the engagement under consideration until the Treasurer has indicated that the requisite approval has been obtained. The member of the Audit Committee who pre-approves any engagements between regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings must report, for informational purposes only, any such pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The percentage of “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees” set forth in the table above that were approved pursuant to 17 C.F.R. 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) was zero.

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed for non-audit services rendered by PwC to each Trust and to their respective investment advisers (but not any subadvisers), and any other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with an investment adviser that provides services to a Trust during each of the last two fiscal years.

In approving the selection of PwC, the Audit Committee considered, in addition to other practices and requirements relating to the selection of the Fund’s auditors, whether PwC’s provision of the non-audit services covered in the table above under “Non-Audit Fees” to the Funds, the investment advisers and certain related other parties are compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC as the Funds’ principal accountants.

Nomination and Election of Trustees By Shareholders

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Trust does not provide for the annual election of Trustees. However, in accordance with the 1940 Act, (i) each Trust will hold a shareholders’ meeting for the election of Trustees at such time as less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, and (ii) if, as a result of a vacancy in the Board of Trustees, less than two-thirds of the Trustees holding office have been elected by the shareholders, that vacancy may only be filled by a vote of the shareholders. As mentioned above under “Standing Board Committees,” the duties of each Trust’s Contract Review and Governance Committee includes the consideration and nomination of candidates for election as Independent Trustees. This Committee will consider nominations from shareholders that comply with the requirements discussed above. The charter of the Contract Review and Governance Committee is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

The Committee will, when a vacancy on the Board of the Trusts exists or is anticipated, consider any candidate for Independent Trustee recommended by a shareholder of the Fund that is submitted in accordance with the procedures by which shareholders may communicate with the Board of Trustees. Pursuant to those procedures, shareholders must submit a recommendation for nomination in a signed writing addressed to the attention of the Board of Trustees, c/o Secretary of the Funds, Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P., 399 Boylston Street, 12^th Floor, Boston, MA 02116. This written communication must (i) be signed by the shareholder, (ii) include the name and address of the shareholder, (iii) identify the Trust(s) to which the communication relates, and (iv) identify the account number, class and number of shares held by the shareholder as of a recent date or the intermediary through which the shares are held. The recommendation must be received in a timely manner (and in any event no later than the date specified for receipt of shareholder proposals in any applicable proxy statement with respect to the Fund). A recommendation for trustee nomination shall be kept on file and considered by the Board for six (6) months from the date of receipt, after which the recommendation shall be considered stale and discarded. The recommendation must contain sufficient background information concerning the trustee candidate to enable a proper judgment to be made as to the candidate’s qualifications.

28

The Committee has not established specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by an individual to be recommended by the Committee for nomination as an Independent Trustee. When nominating an individual to fill a vacancy on a Fund’s Board, the Committee may seek referrals from a variety of sources, including current Trustees, management of the Funds, Funds counsel, and counsel to the Trustees, as well as shareholders of the Funds in accordance with the procedures described above. In evaluating nominees for a position on the Board, the Committee may consider a variety of factors, including (i) the nominee’s knowledge in matters relating to the mutual fund industry; (ii) any experience possessed by the nominee as a director or senior officer of other public companies; (iii) the nominee’s educational background; (iv) the nominee’s reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; (v) any specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the nominee, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Board’s existing mix of skills and qualifications; (vi) the nominee’s perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the nominee’s ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly and work collaboratively with other members of the Board; (vii) the nominee’s ability to qualify as an Independent Trustee for purposes of applicable regulations; and (viii) such other factors as the Committee determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board and any anticipated vacancies or other transitions. Prior to making a final recommendation to the Board, the Committee may conduct personal interviews with the nominees it concludes are the most qualified candidates. Any individuals recommended by shareholders will be evaluated in the same manner as individuals brought to the Board’s attention in some other manner.

The Committee believes that Trustees should be chosen to reflect a diversity of viewpoints. Although the Committee has not adopted a particular definition of diversity nor a diversity policy, when considering a nominee for the Board of Trustees, the Committee generally considers the nominee’s professional experience, education, skills, life experiences and other individual qualities. The nomination and evaluative process used by the Committee is intended to result in a Board that is composed of individuals who can fairly represent the interests and concerns of Fund shareholders.

Shareholder Communications with the Boards

Shareholders may mail written communications to the Boards of Trustees, addressed as follows:

To the Attention of the Board of Trustees

c/o Coleen Downs Dinneen, Secretary

Natixis Asset Management Advisors, L.P.

399 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116

29

A shareholder’s written communication must (i) be signed by the shareholder, (ii) include the shareholder’s name and address, (iii) identify the Funds(s) to which it relates and (iv) identify the account number, class and number of shares held by the shareholder as of a recent date or the intermediary through which the shares are held. Shareholders may also email communications to the Board of Trustees to secretaryofthefunds@ga.natixis.com, provided, however, that communications regarding recommendations for Trustee candidates may not be submitted by email and must instead be submitted as described above.

The Secretary is responsible for collecting, reviewing and organizing all properly submitted shareholder communications. Except as provided below, the Secretary shall either (i) provide a copy of each properly submitted shareholder communications to the appropriate Committee of the Board, as determined by the Secretary, at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting or (ii) if the Secretary determines that the communication requires more immediate attention, forward the communication to the appropriate Board Committee promptly after receipt; in either case, the Secretary may also provide, in addition to such shareholder communication, a proposed response to such communication. Except with respect to shareholder recommendations regarding candidates to the Board, the Secretary may, in good faith, determine that a shareholder communication should not be provided to the Board because it does not reasonably relate to a Fund or its operations, management, activities, policies, service providers, Board, officers, shareholders or other matters relating to an investment in the Fund or is otherwise ministerial in nature (such as a request for Fund literature, share data or financial information). These procedures shall not apply to (i) any communication from an officer or Trustee of the Fund, (ii) any communication from an employee or agent (for example, an employee of the Fund’s investment adviser, administrator, custodian, distributor and transfer agent) of the Fund, unless such communication is made solely in such employee’s or agent’s capacity as a shareholder, or (iii) any shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any communication made in connection with such a proposal (i.e., shareholder proxy proposals).

The Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders vote FOR each Nominee.

II. PROPOSAL 2: CHANGES TO CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE HANSBERGER INTERNATIONAL SERIES FUNDS

Background.

The primary purpose of Proposals 2-A through 2-D is to amend and modernize the current fundamental policies of each HIS Fund so as to better align them with existing law as well as other fundamental policies of the funds over which the Board has oversight. Hansberger Global Investors, Inc. (“HGI”), the adviser to each HIS Fund, recently undertook a review of the HIS Funds’ fundamental investment policies, and as a result of this review, recommended such changes. The Trustees have concurred with HGI’s analysis of the fundamental investment policies of the HIS Funds and propose to shareholders the adoption of these modernized fundamental investment policies. Except as discussed below, HGI did not propose these changes because of any proposed or anticipated changes in the HIS Funds’ investment strategies; instead, the changes were proposed to clarify certain restrictions and to delete other unnecessarily constraining, and not legally required, restrictions.

Discussion of Proposals.

PROPOSAL 2-A: INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE; OPEN-END INVESTMENT COMPANIES; INTERESTS IN OIL, GAS, OR MINERALS; AND COMMODITY CONTRACTS

The Trustees recommend deleting the following fundamental investment policy:

[Each Fund will not] invest in real estate or mortgages on real estate (although a Fund may invest in marketable securities secured by real estate or interests therein or issued by companies or investment trusts which invest in real estate or interests therein); invest in other open-end investment companies (except in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or reorganization); invest in interests (other than debentures or equity stock interests) in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development programs; or purchase or sell commodity contracts (except futures contracts, as described herein).

and replacing it with the following two policies:

[Each Fund will not] purchase or sell real estate, although it may purchase securities of issuers which deal in real estate, securities which are secured by interests in real estate, and securities which represent interests in real estate, and it may acquire and dispose of real estate or interests in real estate acquired through the exercise of its rights as a holder of debt obligations secured by real estate or interests therein.

32

[Each Fund will not] purchase or sell commodities, except that the Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts and options, may enter into foreign exchange contracts and may enter into swap agreements and other financial transactions not requiring the delivery of physical commodities.

This proposal basically involves the following four substantive changes:

• Revising the portion of the policy relating to investments in real estate and real estate-related securities to provide greater clarity as to the types of investments allowed, as well as to potentially allow the HIS Funds greater flexibility in exercising rights as a debt holder (e.g., acquiring real estate through foreclosure proceedings).

• Eliminating the restriction on investments in open-end investment companies. As discussed in more detail below, this change will, among other things, explicitly provide the HIS Funds with the flexibility to invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).

• Removing the limitations on oil, gas or other mineral exploration investments to eliminate unnecessary restrictions not otherwise required by law.

• The changes to the portion of the policy relating to investments in commodities is meant to further clarify that the restrictions on investments in commodities will not restrict the HIS Funds’ ability to invest in certain derivative contracts.

Except as discussed below, the HIS Funds do not currently expect to rely on the additional investment flexibility provided by the revised policy.

HGI believes that the flexibility to invest in other open-end investment companies could enhance each HIS Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. For example, if shareholders approve the Proposal, the HIS Funds would have the flexibility to purchase shares of ETFs for the purpose of investing excess cash where HGI belives that being fully invested serves the interests of the HIS Funds.

HGI believes that ETFs can offer opportunities for each HIS Fund to gain exposure for its cash position to foreign securities in a cost-effective and efficient manner. Furthermore, HGI recognizes that by investing in foreign markets through ETFs and certain other open-end investment companies, the HIS Funds may be able to avoid or lessen significant transactional or custodial costs. As a shareholder in another investment company, an HIS Fund would bear its ratable share of that investment company’s expenses, including its advisory and administration fees, and, at the same time, the HIS Fund would continue to pay its own management fees and other expenses. However, HGI believes that, in certain instances, the

33

additional costs incurred in paying these additional fees would be equal to or less than the costs incurred by investing in the underlying securities directly, or that, without otherwise investing in these ETFs or other investment companies, the HIS Funds would not have access to the underlying securities held by the ETFs or these investment companies. It is important to note that the HIS Funds’ ability to invest in other registered investment companies, including ETFs, will continue to be subject to limitations under the 1940 Act.

PROPOSAL 2-B: ACTING AS AN UNDERWRITER,

ISSUING SENIOR SECURITIES, OR PURCHASING ON MARGIN

The Trustees recommend deleting the following fundamental investment policy:

[Each Fund will not] act as an underwriter, issue senior securities except as set forth in investment restrictions 5 [borrowing] and 6 [pledging assets] below, or purchase on margin, except that a Fund may make margin payments in connection with futures, options and currency transactions.

and replacing it with the following two policies, listed separately:

[Each Fund will not] act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers except that, in the disposition of portfolio securities, it may be deemed to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws.

[Each Fund will not] make short sales of securities or maintain a short position or purchase securities on margin, except that the Fund may obtain short-term credits as necessary for the clearance of security transactions, and the Fund may make any short sales or maintain any short positions where the short sales or short positions would not constitute “senior securities” under the 1940 Act.

Replacing the existing policy with the two provided clarifies that (1) an HIS Fund may dispose of its own securities even if such disposition deems the HIS Fund to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws, (2) an HIS Fund may borrow in connection with the clearance and settlement of security transactions, and (3) an HIS Fund may maintain short positions and engage in short sale transactions to the extent they are not senior securities under the 1940 Act. HIS believes that although the HIS Funds were already permitted to engage in many of these transactions under their current restrictions, it is desirable to make that permission explicit.

34

PROPOSAL 2-C: LOANING MONEY

The Trustees recommend deleting the following fundamental investment policy:

[Each Fund will not] loan money, except that a Fund may (i) purchase a portion of an issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures, notes and other evidences of indebtedness, (ii) enter into repurchase agreements and (iii) lend its portfolio securities.

and replacing it with the following:

[Each Fund will not] make loans, except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt instruments in accordance with its investment objectives and policies, provided however, this restriction does not apply to repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities;

Replacing the existing policy with the latter provides greater flexibility to the HIS Funds by allowing debt obligations to be held to the fullest extent allowed by the HIS Funds’ investment objectives and policies rather than limiting the potential obligations to those enumerated in the fundamental policy.

PROPOSAL 2-D: BORROWING MONEY AND MORTGAGING, PLEDGING, OR HYPOTHECATING ITS ASSETS

The Trustees recommend deleting the following fundamental investment policies:

[Each Fund will not] borrow money, except that a Fund may engage in dollar roll transactions and reverse repurchase agreements, and may borrow money from banks in an amount not exceeding one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed);

and

[Each Fund will not] mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets (except as may be necessary in connection with permitted borrowings); provided, however, this does not prohibit escrow, collateral or margin arrangements in connection with its use of options, futures contracts and options on future contracts;

and replacing them with the following policy:

[Each Fund will not] borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act;

Because the 1940 Act, and the Securities and Exchange Commission guidance under the 1940 Act, places limits on borrowings by the HIS Funds (and all Funds),

35

listing the extent of the HIS Funds’ ability to borrow and pledge assets in the fundamental investment policies is unnecessary. Furthermore, in the event the law changes, were the policies to remain as is, the HIS Funds’ ability to take advantage of any such change might require a shareholder vote to change its fundamental investment policy, whereas having the new policy in place would allow the HIS Funds to adapt without delay and additional expense.

Summary.

The Trustees believe that the proposed changes to the HIS Funds’ fundamental investment policies discussed above are in the best interests of each HIS Fund and its shareholders, and recommend that shareholders vote FOR each proposal. If the proposal with respect to a policy for an HIS Fund is not approved by that HIS Fund’s shareholders, that policy will remain in effect even if shareholders approve changes to the other policies.

The 1940 Act requires that any change in an HIS Fund’s fundamental investment policies be made only by a vote of “a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities.” The term “a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities” is defined by the 1940 Act to mean “the vote, at the annual or a special meeting of the security holders of such company duly called (A) of 67 per centum or more of the voting securities present at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50 per centum of the outstanding voting securities of such company are present or represented by proxy; or (B) of more than 50 per centum of the outstanding voting securities of such company, whichever is the less.”

The Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders vote FOR

Proposals 2-A through 2-D above.

Appendix B to this Proxy Statement lists for each Fund the total number of shares outstanding as of April 1, 2010 for each class of the Fund’s shares. Each whole share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote and each fractional share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. It also identifies holders, as of April 1, 2010, of more than 5% of any class of shares of each Fund, and contains information about the shareholdings in the Funds of the Trustees and the executive officers of the Funds as of April 1, 2010.

Information About Proxies and the Conduct of the Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies. Proxies will be solicited primarily by mailing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures, but proxies may also be solicited through further mailings, telephone calls, personal interviews or e-mail by officers of the Trusts or by employees or agents of Natixis Advisors, Loomis Sayles or their respective affiliates. In addition, Computershare has been engaged to provide shareholder meeting services, including the distribution of this Proxy Statement and related materials to shareholders as well as vote solicitation and tabulation, at an estimated cost of approximately $134,000.

Costs of Solicitation. The costs of the Meeting, including the costs of soliciting proxies and printing and mailing this proxy statement to shareholders, will be paid by the Trusts.

Voting and Tabulation of Proxies. Shares represented by duly executed and timely proxies will be voted as instructed on the proxy. If no instructions are given, the proxy will be voted in favor of all of the Nominees for election as Trustees of the Trust. You may vote by any one of the three following methods: (1) by mailing the enclosed proxy card, (2) through use of the internet or (3) by telephone. If you mail the enclosed proxy card and no choice is indicated for a proposal listed in the attached Notice of Meeting, your proxy will be voted in favor of that proposal, including all of the Nominees for election as Trustees. Votes made through use of the internet or by telephone must have an indicated choice in order to be accepted.

41

At any time before it has been voted, your proxy may be revoked in one of the following ways: (i) by sending a signed, written letter of revocation to the Secretary of the Trust, (ii) by properly executing a later-dated proxy (by any of the methods of voting described above) or (iii) by attending the Meeting, requesting return of any previously delivered proxy and voting in person. Votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by the Funds as tellers for the Meeting (the “Tellers”). For Proposal 1, thirty percent of the shares of any Trust outstanding on the record date, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute quorums for the transaction of business by the shareholders of that Trust at the Meeting. For Proposals 2-A through 2-D, thirty percent of the shares of any HIS Fund outstanding on the record date, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute quorum for the transaction of business by the shareholders of that HIS Fund at the Meeting. In determining whether a quorum is present, the Tellers will count shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions, and “broker non-votes,” as shares that are present and entitled to vote. Since these shares will be counted as present, but not as voting in favor of any proposal, these shares will have the same effect as if they cast votes against any of the proposals in Proposals 2-A through 2-D. For Proposal 1, the election of Trustees these shares will have no effect on whether Proposal 1 is approved. “Broker non-votes” are shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power and (ii) the broker or nominee has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person who is entitled to instruct how the shares will be voted.

Votes on Proposal 1 (Election of Trustees) will be tabulated on a Trust basis, such that shareholders of the Funds within each Trust will vote together as a single class to elect the Board of Trustees of that Trust. For a Trust, the approval of a Nominee is not contingent upon approval of any other Nominee. Similarly, the outcome of the vote for one Trust will not affect the outcome of any other Trust.

Votes on Proposals 2-A through 2-D (Changes to Certain Fundament Investment Policies of the HIS Funds) will be tabulated separately for each on a per-HIS Fund basis, such that shareholders of each HIS Fund will vote together as a single class with respect to the proposed changes to the investment policies for that respective HIS Fund. The outcome of the vote for one HIS Fund will not affect the outcome of any other HIS Fund; within an HIS Fund, the outcome with respect to any one fundamental policy will not effect the outcome for any other investment restriction.

Required Vote. Proposal 1 will be by a plurality of the shares of each Trust (each Trust voting separately and all Funds of each Trust voting together as a single class) present at the Meeting in person or by proxy. If the required vote for a Nominee is not obtained for any Trust, the Trustees will consider what other actions, if any, to take in the best interests of that Trust. For Proposals 2-A through 2-D, the approval of a proposed change to a fundamental investment policy will

42

require the approval of the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of the shares present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, if the holders of more than 50% of the shares of each HIS Fund are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the shares of each HIS Fund. If the required vote is not obtained for any HIS Fund with respect to any fundamental policy, that HIS Fund will retain such fundamental investment policy even if shareholders approve changes to other fundamental policies for that Fund.

Adjournments; Other Business. In the event that a quorum is not present for purposes of acting on a proposal, or if sufficient votes in favor of any proposal are not received by the time of the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose that the Meeting be adjourned one or more times as to that Trust or HIS Fund in order to permit further solicitation of proxies for any such proposal(s). Any adjournment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes properly cast on the question, whether or not a quorum is present. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of any such adjournment all proxies that they are entitled to vote in favor of any proposal that has not yet then been adopted. They will vote against any such adjournment any proxy that directs them to vote against each proposal that has not yet then been adopted. They will not vote any proxy that directs them to abstain from voting on any proposal.

The Meeting has been called to transact any business that properly comes before it. The only business that management of the Funds intends to present or knows that others will present is the election of the Trustees of the Trusts and changes to certain fundamental investment policies of the HIS Funds. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, and on all matters incidental to the conduct of the Meeting, the persons named as proxies intend to vote the proxies in accordance with their judgment, unless the Secretary of the Trust has previously received written contrary instructions from the shareholder entitled to vote the shares.

Shareholder Proposals at Future Meetings. The Trusts do not hold annual or other regular meetings of shareholders. Shareholder proposals to be presented at any future meeting of shareholders of a Trust or a Fund must be received by the Trust or the Fund in writing a reasonable amount of time before the Trust solicits proxies for that meeting in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for that meeting.

2) The purposes of the Committee are:

a) Contract Review Matters:

i) To request and evaluate such information as may reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory agreements, subadvisory agreements, distribution agreements and related distribution plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 relating to the funds in each Trust on an annual basis and as needed throughout the year;

ii) To monitor the performance of the advisers and oversee the performance of the subadvisers to the funds in each Trust on a quarterly and annual basis, and as needed throughout the year;

iv) To submit minutes of such meetings to the full Board on a regular basis.

b) Governance Matters:

Except as the Board may otherwise determine the Committee shall:

44

ii) At least annually, review board governance practices and procedures and shall recommend any appropriate changes to the full board;

iv) Review trustee compensation annually and shall recommend any appropriate changes to the independent trustees;

v) Review committee assignments on an annual basis; and

a) The Committee shall monitor the performance of legal counsel employed by the Trusts and the independent trustees, and shall be responsible for the supervision of counsel for the independent trustees;

c) When appropriate the Committee shall review potential conflict of interest situations; and

d) The Committee shall review this charter at least annually and recommend any changes to the full board.

Appendix A – Procedures with Respect to Nominees to the Board

I. Identification of Candidates. When a vacancy on the Board of the Trusts exists or is anticipated, the Committee may make nominations for Trustee membership. When nominating an individual to fill a vacancy on the Trust’s Board, the Committee may seek referrals from a variety of sources, including current Trustees, management of the Funds, Funds counsel and counsel to the Independent Trustees, and shareholders of a Fund who submit recommendations in accordance with these procedures. The Committee has not established specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by an individual in order for such person to be considered by the Committee for nomination as an Independent Trustee. The Committee, however, believes that the Board of Trustees as a whole should reflect diversity, and will generally consider each nominee’s

45

professional experience, education, skills, life experiences and other individual qualities.

II. Shareholder Candidates. Except as provided below, the Committee also shall consider any candidate for Independent Trustee recommended by a shareholder of a Trust if such recommendation contains sufficient background information concerning the candidate to enable a proper judgment to be made as to the candidate’s qualifications, and the recommendation is received in a sufficiently timely manner (and in any event no later than the date specified for receipt of shareholder proposals in any applicable proxy statement with respect to a Fund). Shareholders shall be directed to address any such recommendations to the attention of the Board of Trustees, c/o Secretary of the Trust. Such requirements may be contained in a Trust’s Declaration of Trust or Bylaws. In such case, any shareholder nominations must meet such requirements in order to be considered. A recommendation from a shareholder shall be kept on file and considered by the Board for six (6) months from the date of receipt, after which the recommendation shall be considered stale and discarded.

III. Evaluation of Candidates. In evaluating nominees for a position on the Board, the Committee may consider any factors it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, (i) the nominee’s knowledge of the mutual fund industry; (ii) any experience possessed by the nominee as a director or senior officer of a financial services company or a public company; (iii) the nominee’s educational background; (iv) the nominee’s reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; (v) any specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the nominee, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Board’s existing mix of skills and qualifications; (vi) the nominee’s perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the nominee’s ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly and work collaboratively with other members of the Board; (vii) the nominee’s ability to qualify as an Independent Trustee for purposes of applicable regulations; and (viii) such other factors as the Committee may request in light of the existing composition of the Board and any anticipated vacancies or other transitions. Any individuals recommended by shareholders will be evaluated in the same manner as individuals brought to the Board’s attention in some other manner.
