Investment Goal

The Fund seeks current income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.

Market Conditions

Global growth has decelerated and appears to have become less synchronized. Although the US economic expansion has continued, certain manufacturing- and sentiment-based indicators have begun to signal softer activity going forward. Growth abroad has exhibited signs of decelerating as well. The unstable political climate in Italy has begun to weigh on domestic demand amid weaker consumer spending and business investment. Lack of progress on the resolution for Brexit has curbed business sentiment, and the UK economy has also seen weaker-than-expected data in construction and manufacturing.

In December, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) Open Market Committee increased its policy rate by 25 basis points, in keeping with Loomis Sayles, consensus and market expectations. This puts the new range for the Fed funds target rate at between 2.25% and 2.50%. The hike was the tenth of this current cycle and left the target at its highest level since March 2008.

An increase in equity market volatility played a large role in the widening of credit spreads. Ongoing concerns over trade conflict, lower oil prices and the still unresolved Brexit situation dampened risk sentiment and prompted investors to seek out higher quality alternatives.

Oil prices decisively reversed beginning in October, as fears of Iranian sanctions cutting global oil supply proved greatly overstated, leading to the unwinding of speculative long positions. Even OPEC production cuts announced in December failed to reverse the bearish sentiment with respect to the commodity.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, Class Y shares of the Loomis Sayles Multi-Asset Income Fund returned -9.13% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 0.01%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

US equities were supported over the year by generally positive macroeconomic data, strong corporate earnings and a strong US dollar. However, escalating trade tensions and concerns about Fed policy led to increased market volatility in the fourth quarter. Sentiment deteriorated further into year-end with a newly divided US Congress leading to political

gridlock. Within US equities, the Fund’s holdings in the financial, energy and consumer non-cyclical sectors detracted the most from return.

Exposure to global equities also had a negative impact during the period as global growth became less synchronized. Trade tensions weighed on China sentiment. In addition, concerns about a slowdown in the rate of growth in Europe, political volatility in Italy and Brexit uncertainty provided headwinds for global equities over the year. The Fund’s holdings within the global financial, consumer non-cyclical, and technology sectors weighed most heavily on return.

Finally, the Fund’s exposure to master limited partnerships (MLPs), expressed through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs), detracted from performance as energy prices fell sharply during the period.

The Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents led positive contributions to performance for the 12 months. In a volatile year for risk assets, the US dollar was the top performing asset in 2018.

An allocation to real estate investment trusts (REITs) bolstered returns for the year, despite worries about the magnitude and pace of Fed rate hikes. Rising Treasury yields were initially a source of concern. However, a low level of inflation, despite stable growth and solid corporate earnings, has benefited interest rate sensitive assets.

The Fund’s positioning with respect to securitized assets added modestly to return relative to the benchmark, with positive contributions led by a select issue within commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).

Outlook

The market is now priced for several risks, including slower global growth, Fed tightening, US/China trade relations, global political disruptions and lower-than-anticipated oil prices. These risks are likely to suppress risk asset valuations unless positive resolutions emerge.

Fed tightening is likely to continue in 2019, with hikes expected at mid-year and at year-end based on an environment of arguably full employment and the Fed’s 2% inflation target. However, the Fed may opt to scale back its rate hikes if macro risks continue to escalate. Slowing the pace of hikes would support interest rate-sensitive areas of the US economy, where higher borrowing costs have already started to curtail activity.

Equities could have upside if the macro backdrop becomes a bit more supportive. We believe US stocks are most likely to lead any equity recovery. Emerging markets could also present an attractive opportunity, especially if the US dollar remains range-bound or trends lower.

We expect mid- to high-single-digit earnings growth across the US and several global economies in 2019. Higher interest expenses and labor costs could slowly erode profit margins, but price hikes may soften the blow.

Global growth should remain modestly positive, 2019 corporate earnings are likely to rise between 5% and 9% in aggregate, and default rates are expected to remain low. However, these supportive factors do not mean credit spreads are likely to revisit the lows seen earlier in the cycle.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks to provide an attractive absolute total return, complemented by prudent investment management designed to manage risks and protect investor capital. The secondary goal of the Fund is to achieve these returns with relatively low volatility.

Market Conditions

Global growth has decelerated and appears to have become less synchronized. Although the US economic expansion has continued, certain manufacturing- and sentiment-based indicators have begun to signal softer activity going forward. Growth abroad has exhibited signs of decelerating as well. The unstable political climate in Italy has begun to weigh on domestic demand amid weaker consumer spending and business investment. Lack of progress on the resolution for Brexit has curbed business sentiment, and the UK economy has also seen weaker-than-expected data in construction and manufacturing.

An increase in equity market volatility played a large role in the widening of credit spreads. Ongoing concerns over trade conflict, lower oil prices and the still unresolved Brexit situation dampened risk sentiment and prompted investors to seek out higher quality alternatives.

In December, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) Open Market Committee increased its policy rate by 25 basis points, in keeping with Loomis Sayles, consensus and market expectations. This puts the new range for the fed funds target rate at 2.25% to 2.50%. The hike was the tenth of the current cycle and left the target at its highest level since March 2008.

The US dollar continued to receive support as US Treasury yields remain significantly higher than government bond yields in other developed markets. While early December saw the declaration of a temporary truce in the trade war between the US and China, global trade tensions remain elevated. In a more risk-averse atmosphere, the dollar advanced against its developed market peers.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, the Class Y shares of the Loomis Sayles Strategic Alpha Fund returned 0.53% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the 3-month LIBOR, which returned 2.08%. The Fund follows an absolute return strategy and is not managed to an index.

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Fund’s exposure to global corporate credit detracted from performance for the year. In particular, South American issues weighed on performance, with Argentine holdings having the largest negative impact. Argentina experienced economic issues characterized by significant inflation and rapid currency devaluation for much of the year. A late-September deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a further extension of credit, coupled with austerity measures, has allowed the Argentine economy to show signs that it may be in the late stages of recession.

Emerging markets also detracted from performance during the year, with Argentine issues responsible for the largest negative impact due to the aforementioned economic woes. Exposure to Brazilian and Mexican issues also impacted return adversely. Continued US dollar strength created a difficult environment for emerging markets throughout the period.

The Fund’s allocation to high yield corporate bonds dampened return as spreads (the difference in yield between 10-year US Treasury bonds and lower-rated bonds) widened substantially late in the year amid increased volatility in risk assets, particularly within equity markets. Strong earnings and an optimistic economic outlook have allowed investors to earn a decent return based on the incremental yield of the asset class, but outflows from high yield funds during much of the year continued to indicate investor uneasiness. We have reduced our exposure to high yield based on our research and as performance for the asset class declined, especially late in the year. The decline in energy prices provided a strong headwind during the year, given the large weight to energy within the high yield market. High yield names within the energy, capital goods and technology sectors weighed most heavily on the Fund’s return for the period.

An allocation to securitized assets contributed positively to return during the period. The Fund’s holdings of asset-backed securities (ABS), the largest of our securitized positions, saw positive results from many of the sub-sectors including subprime auto loans, aircraft-related and personal loans. Residential mortgage-backed securities also added to return as housing sentiment was supported by attractive lending rates, despite signs of a slowing in activity.

The Fund’s allocation to investment grade corporate bonds added to performance as well. We reduced exposure to the asset class in terms of both size and duration (price sensitivity to interest rates) as the yield curve flattened over the year (the yield curve reflects the relationship among bond yields across the maturity spectrum). Performance benefited in particular from the shorter-term, higher quality issues which make up most of the portfolio’s investment grade exposure. Positive contributions were led by holdings within the consumer, banking and capital goods sectors.

Currency positioning aided performance as the US dollar strengthened versus most developed market currencies. The dollar weakened in early 2018 before rebounding in the second quarter on the prospect of future Fed rate hikes. Many of our positions were paired non-US dollar holdings, which mitigated the impact of a strong US dollar. Some

directional currency positions contributed positively, in particular a short forward position in the euro and a long forward position in the Mexican peso.

The Fund’s exposure to interest rate futures used for investment purposes bolstered performance for the fiscal period.

Outlook

The market is now priced for several risks, including slower global growth, Fed tightening, US/China trade relations, global political disruptions and lower-than-anticipated oil prices. These risks are likely to suppress risk asset valuations unless positive resolutions emerge.

Fed tightening is likely to continue in 2019, with hikes expected at mid-year and at year-end based on an environment of arguably full employment and the Fed’s 2% inflation target. However, the Fed may opt to scale back its rate hikes if macro risks continue to escalate. Slowing the pace of hikes would support interest rate-sensitive areas of the US economy, where higher borrowing costs have already started to curtail activity.

Global growth should remain modestly positive, 2019 corporate earnings are likely to rise between 5% and 9% in aggregate, and default rates are expected to remain low. However, these supportive factors do not mean credit spreads are likely to revisit the lows seen earlier in the cycle.

Wider spreads have restored a meaningful risk premium to credit markets, increasing the value proposition of the asset class. This constructive outlook would be at risk if corporate profitability expectations prove too lofty.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Market Conditions

The U.S. economy entered 2018 on a high note, with corporations and individuals anticipating relief from the second largest tax cut in U.S. history, which passed at the end of 2017. The unemployment rate continued to fall as the economy moved towards full employment. During the year, unemployment fluctuated between 4.1 to 3.7 percent while more previously unemployed people rejoined the workforce and layoffs declined to near an all-time low. Buoyed by strong employment, wage growth finally began to accelerate, reaching a 3.2 percent clip. With more states and metro areas increasing the minimum wage, consumer spending stayed steady. Retailers experienced their best Christmas shopping season in six years, with retail sales climbing in 2018 by 5.1 percent, according to Mastercard SpendingPulse.

Despite four Federal Reserve Board interest rate hikes, the pace of inflation remained moderate, providing support for economic growth. The strong economy and the Trump tax cut drove significant corporate capital investment. The strength of the U.S. economy was a bright spot in the global economic picture, as China experienced slower growth rates and emerging markets were impacted by rising rates and a strong dollar. In Europe, Brexit continued to challenge economic forecasts in Europe and the U.K. due to Britain’s inability to pass legislation surrounding the terms of the divorce from the European Union.

Equities took a steep dive in December amid worries about the duration of the lengthy bull market. In fact, December losses pushed the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq into bear market territory. Concerns around over-leveraging by businesses and consumers sparked some fears; however, the Fed lowered its projection of 2019 rate hikes from three to two in an effort to ease business concerns around the impact of higher rates on economic growth. As 2018 drew to a close, worries about slowing global growth and a looming government shut down created uncertainty after a year of mostly strong economic growth and positive momentum.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, Class Y shares of Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund returned -6.24% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P 500^® Index, which returned -4.38%. The Fund also underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Russell 1000^®Index, which returned -4.78%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

Each of the portfolio’s segments uses a distinct investment style, providing shareholders with exposure to a variety of different stocks:

· The Harris Associates L.P. Large Cap Value segment invests primarily in the common stocks of larger-capitalization companies that Harris Associates believes are trading at a substantial discount to the company’s “true business value.”

· The Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. All Cap Growth segment invests in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and warrants. This segment may invest in companies of any size.

Neither segment contributed positively to the overall return of the Fund during the year.

Harris Associates Large Cap Value Segment

As value investors with an emphasis on individual stock selection, our sector weights are a byproduct of our bottom-up process. General Electric (GE) was the largest detractor to segment performance in the calendar year. GE faced a succession of issues in 2018 that influenced its share price, which was especially volatile in the second half of the year, as market analysts reassessed key company estimates, both lower and higher. The company’s second-quarter results released in July included revenue and earnings per share that outpaced market forecasts and management expressed that results were in line with the company’s expectations. GE later announced it was awarded a new $630.5 million contract with the U.S. Navy for repair and maintenance of F414 aircraft engine components. Even so, in September, some influential market analysts lowered price targets for the company. Subsequently, H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., formerly CEO of Danaher, was unexpectedly named GE’s chairman and CEO. Along with this announcement, management lowered full-year guidance. Late in October, the company reported third-quarter revenues that largely met market expectations. Earnings per share, however, were roughly 30% lower than forecasts and the company cut its quarterly dividend to $0.01 from $0.12. Management did not provide fourth quarter or 2019 guidance and the lack of forecasts along with concerns over the company’s liquidity added to investor anxiety. To explain, Culp candidly pointed out that when discussing numbers on a forward-looking basis, he wants to do so with conviction and confidence, which was not possible at that time. He also stated that raising additional equity was not then necessary. We still concur with his assessment. According to our calculations, GE has sufficient liquidity from its industrial operations and the market has overlooked the supplemental liquidity provided by recent sale proceeds and equity positions. All these factors taken together lead us to believe that the company will reach its overall leverage targets without raising equity. In addition, its liquidity position remains steady. Lastly, in December, positive market analysts’ notes upgrading the company provided GE’s share price a modest boost. Management continues to adjust the company’s portfolio of businesses and while the restructuring process may take some time, we believe this approach will work to benefit shareholders into the future. Overall, we believe the stock has declined more than warranted and that GE’s intrinsic value is well above the current price quote.

NATIXIS U.S. EQUITY OPPORTUNITIES FUND

On an absolute-return basis, shares in the health care sector gained the most value, while holdings in the industrials sector lost the most value. The largest contributor to segment performance for the year was HCA Healthcare. HCA’s share price gained value in three of the past four quarters as the company’s results released during the reporting period showed positive growth momentum. Revenue, earnings and earnings per share for the first, second and third quarters of 2018 surpassed market expectations. Importantly, key operating metrics, such as same-facility equivalent admissions and same-facility revenue per equivalent admission, demonstrated strengthening trends over the course of the year. These developments provide us evidence that the company’s strategy of focusing on higher acuity visits is paying off. In addition, management stated that capital investments are now “yielding solid market share gains.” HCA paid $121 million worth of dividends and bought back $302 million worth of shares during the third quarter (year-to-date share repurchases total $1.195 billion), which aligns with our estimates. Along with its latest earnings release, management increased full-year revenue, earnings and earnings per share guidance ranges. Furthermore, management continues to seek out strategically sound acquisition opportunities to broaden the company’s scope. One such example was its purchase in August of Mission Health, a six-hospital health facility in North Carolina that allowed expansion across a state where it previously had no operations. Despite these positive outcomes, HCA’s share price dropped in December in conjunction with other hospital stocks as the future of the Affordable Care Act was called into question when a U.S. District Court Judge ruled the law unconstitutional. The law currently remains intact, and we expect a succession of appeals will ensue, perhaps over a protracted period. In the meantime, we have not changed our valuation metrics for HCA as we remain pleased with the company’s fundamental performance.

Loomis, Sayles and Company All Cap Growth Segment

We are an active manager with a long-term, private equity approach to investing. Through our proprietary bottom-up research framework, we look to invest in those few high-quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and profitable growth when they trade at a significant discount to intrinsic value. For the period, the All Cap Growth segment posted a negative absolute return. Our holdings in the communication services, consumer staples, energy, financials, materials and healthcare sectors detracted from the segment’s performance. Our holdings in the information technology, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors contributed positively to results.

Facebook, Schlumberger and Monster Beverage were the largest detractors during the period. Social media company Facebook provides an online platform that allows people to connect, share, and interact with friends and communities. A holding since its IPO in 2012, Facebook reported solid overall growth and market share gains versus the prior-year period. However, shares reacted negatively to management’s mid-year guidance for a near-term deceleration in revenue growth, coupled with a multi-year acceleration in investments. The company noted that revenue in the second half of 2018 would be negatively impacted by its decisions to provide users with more choices around privacy and to increase focus on Instagram and FB Stories – “experience” products that the company believes will drive improved engagement but where monetization is currently lower. Facebook also announced

11  |

a 50% — 55% increase in investments for 2018 and a further 40% — 50% increase in 2019, targeting core product development, safety and security, virtual reality, marketing, and content acquisition. As a result, expenses will increase faster than revenue over the near term, pressuring margins, before moderating and growing in line with revenues. We believe Facebook is a unique, high-quality company, benefiting from the secular shift from traditional advertising to online advertising, and positioned for strong and sustainable growth over our investment horizon. We believe management’s decisions and actions illustrate their commitment to preserve platform integrity and to sustain the company’s leadership and long-term growth. With 2.6 billion people worldwide using its apps — Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram — and more than 90 million global businesses with Facebook pages, the scale and reach of Facebook’s network is unrivaled. We believe that corporations will continue to allocate an increasing proportion of their advertising spending online, and Facebook remains one of very few platforms where advertisers can reach consumers at such scale. We believe Facebook is selling at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value and offers a compelling reward-to-risk opportunity.

Schlumberger is the world’s leading supplier of technology, equipment, integrated project management, and information solutions to the international oil and gas exploration and production industry. Over its 90 year history, Schlumberger has built a brand and reputation for delivering consistent service and product excellence across the spectrum of exploration, drilling, and production. Only a few companies can compete with the scope of Schlumberger’s integrated suite of products and services, and even fewer can compete with the scale and depth of its technology and service execution. The company reported global sales that rose 12% compared with the year-ago period, but stocks in the oil services sector came under pressure on short-term concerns around slowing activity in North America, where stronger-than-expected production, coupled with insufficient takeaway capacity in the Permian basin, is leading operators to delay well completions. More recently, concerns over global demand growth have contributed to falling oil prices, impacting expectations for global service activity in 2019. In markets outside of North America, which have historically accounted for approximately 75% of revenue, the company continued to experience low demand for its services. Customer spending has lagged the rebound in oil prices over the past few years as companies continued to repair their balance sheets following years of low prices. However, North America revenues grew over 40% during the period as the company redeployed idle capacity to accommodate growing drilling and well completion activity. While management has been prematurely optimistic about a recovery outside of the US, based on contracts Schlumberger has already won, management indicated that international growth in 2019 would be in the double digits. Over a two-year period which began in 2014 and saw industry spending fall by over 50%, Schlumberger gained share and maintained leading margins, while several competitors posted losses or very thin margins. Schlumberger was one of the few companies to generate positive free cash flow during the downturn, and continued to invest to strengthen its ability to offer integrated solutions to clients. The need to replace naturally-depleting reservoirs creates long-term secular growth in the demand for oil and the need to extract hydrocarbons from harsher environments. Oilfield services like those Schlumberger provides are key to

accessing difficult-to-reach resources. Thanks to its superior products and services and its competitive advantages, we believe Schlumberger is well positioned to weather the current environment and capitalize on the growth in oilfield services as market supply-demand normalizes. We believe the shares of Schlumberger are selling at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value and offer a compelling reward-to-risk opportunity.

Monster Beverage is a leading marketer and distributor of energy drinks, globally. The energy drink industry is effectively a duopoly, creating strong competitive advantages for Monster and Red Bull, which command a combined share of approximately 75% — 80% of the US market, and an estimated 50% of the $42 billion global energy drink market. In 2014, Monster entered a partnership with Coca-Cola in which Coca-Cola purchased a 16.7% stake in the company, and Monster became its exclusive energy drink partner. The partnership gives Monster access to an unmatched global distribution system, accelerating its pace of international expansion, and extending its benefits of scale. During the period, Monster reported uneven financial results that were generally below consensus expectations due to temporary inventory reductions outside the US, higher raw material costs, and continued investments in advance of scale in China and India. The company announced it would raise prices on its Monster brands beginning November 1, 2018, to cover higher input and shipping costs, which it did successfully in 2015 without sacrificing market share. Monster has made great progress transitioning its distribution operations to Coca-Cola partners, globally. Sales outside the US have grown from approximately 20% of total revenues in 2013 to approximately 30% today, and we believe they can grow to exceed 50% over the next decade. The company continues to take share in most markets, including the US, where the Monster brand continues to reach record highs in market share as reported by Nielsen. We believe energy drinks are here to stay and their continued penetration around the world is the primary long-term business driver for the company. Monster’s large presence in North America and its expansion into international markets make it well positioned to benefit from this long-term secular growth driver. With its shares selling at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value, we believe Monster offers a compelling reward-to-risk opportunity.

Amazon, Autodesk and Visa were the largest contributors during the period. Online retailer Amazon offers millions of products — sold by Amazon or by third parties — with the value proposition to consumers of selection, price, and convenience. Amazon’s enterprise IT business, Amazon Web Services (AWS), offers a suite of secure, on-demand cloud-computing services, with a value proposition to clients of speed, agility, and savings. In both of its core markets, we believe Amazon possesses strong and sustainable competitive advantages that would be difficult for competitors to replicate. In e-commerce these include its brand, scale, network advantage, technology platform, and logistics and distribution systems. The AWS business benefits from its brand, technology platform, and massive scale, which allows it to pass along cost savings while continuing to innovate. Amazon reported healthy fundamentals and strong growth in revenue during the period. With gross merchandise volume (GMV) growing, by our estimates, above growth in the teens for US e-commerce and low single-digit growth in global retail sales, the company continued to take market share. AWS also posted strong revenue growth, approaching a

13  |

$27 billion annual run rate, that was many multiples higher than our estimate of single-digit growth in overall enterprise IT spending. Under the thoughtful leadership of founder Jeff Bezos, Amazon continued rapid investment in key areas that capitalize on its strength, focusing on businesses with high, durable growth prospects and strong financial returns. With an increasing shift to higher-margin product categories such as third-party sales, AWS, and advertising, gross margins expanded during the period. Amazon is one of the best-positioned companies in e-commerce and enterprise IT — each addressing large, underpenetrated markets. The secular shift in consumer preference from traditional brick-and-mortar retail to online retail and e-commerce spending is the primary growth driver for Amazon, but both markets benefit from secular growth that is still in its early stages. We believe the current share price shows a lack of appreciation for Amazon’s significant long-term growth opportunities and the sustainability of its business model.

Autodesk, a global leader in 3D design software and services, is synonymous with computer-aided design — a degree of brand recognition that takes years, if not decades, to develop. The company’s broad suite of products are viewed as mission critical among its clients in the architecture, engineering, construction and manufacturing industries, and create high switching costs for its global installed user base. In early 2016, the company began transitioning its business model from an up-front, licensing-plus-maintenance model to a cloud-delivered, subscription-based model where fees are recognized ratably over the life of the customer relationship. Although the transition causes near-term income statement and cash flow metrics to remain depressed, we believe the subscription model will result in increased visibility of future revenue streams and higher lifetime customer value, leading to increased revenue, profitability and free cash flow. The company reported solid results during the period with annualized recurring revenue (ARR) and earnings per share that exceeded consensus expectations. Importantly, Autodesk demonstrated continued progress in its model transition, returning to positive free cash flow in its last two earnings releases after reporting negative free cash flow in its prior fiscal year, and reporting that ARR grew to 96% of the revenue mix. Following the trough from the effects of the model change, we believe profitability and cash flow will increasingly improve over our investment time horizon. We believe Autodesk can generate attractive and sustainable revenue growth and faster operating margin expansion and free cash flow growth that is not currently reflected in the share price.

Visa is the largest payments technology company in the world, with a comprehensive offering of digital payment products including credit cards, debit cards — which Visa invented — and transaction security services known as tokenization. Visa has one of the world’s most recognized brands, which took decades and significant investment to build. Through its open-loop, multi-party system, Visa has built a massive global network, orchestrating transaction settlements between merchants, merchants’ banks, card-issuer banks and cardholders in more than 200 countries. A growing global network with 3.3 billion Visa-branded cards outstanding that are accepted by 54 million merchants worldwide creates a powerful virtuous cycle, reinforcing Visa’s difficult-to-replicate competitive advantages. During the period, Visa reported revenue and earnings that were strong and in-line with or better than market expectations. Payment volume growth in the

low double digits benefited from stronger global growth, but was twice the rate of growth in the approximately $45 trillion of global personal consumer expenditures, reflecting the strength of the ongoing, long-term secular shift from cash to electronic payments. Other areas of growth for Visa include expansion of its network capabilities into new segments such as person-to-person payments, business-to-business payments, and government and corporate disbursements to consumers. In aggregate, these new segments represent an estimated $30 trillion of addressable spending. We estimate Visa can generate double-digit cash flow growth over our forecast period. As the company continues to scale its businesses in regions around the world, we expect it will be able to increase cash flow growth, expand margins, and improve its return on invested capital. We believe the shares of Amazon, Autodesk and Visa trade at significant discounts to our estimates of intrinsic value and offer compelling reward-to-risk opportunities.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Funds’ prospectus. The following examples 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 July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. 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 for your class.

The second line in the table for 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. 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.

^ Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular reference entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

1.  Organization.  Natixis Funds Trust I and Natixis Funds Trust 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 (the “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 Trusts 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 Multi-Asset Income Fund (the “Multi-Asset Income Fund”)

Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund (the “U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund”)

Natixis Funds Trust II:

Loomis Sayles Strategic Alpha Fund (the “Strategic Alpha Fund”)

Each Fund is a diversified investment company, except for the Strategic Alpha Fund, which is a non-diversified investment company.

Each Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.25% for Multi-Asset Income Fund and Strategic Alpha Fund and 5.75% for U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for ten years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares) and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Class Y shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $100,000. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N and Class Y as outlined in the relevant Funds’ prospectus.

Most expenses 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 Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV and Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), and Natixis ETF Trust. 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 (such as the Rule 12b-1 fee applicable to Class A and Class C) and transfer agent fees are borne collectively for Class A, Class C and Class Y, and individually for Class N. 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 distributions 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 follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and 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 subsequent to year-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser or subadviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser or subadviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts

December 31, 2018

are valued at the most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at settlement prices of the clearing house on which the contracts were traded or prices obtained from broker-dealers. Bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service. Bilateral interest rate swaps are valued based on prices supplied by an independent pricing source. Domestic exchange-traded single name equity option contracts are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations. Options on futures contracts are valued using the current settlement price on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. Option contracts on domestic indices are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations as of the close of trading on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (“CBOE”). Option contracts on foreign indices are priced at the most recent settlement price. Other exchange-traded options are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) currency options and swaptions are valued at mid prices (between the bid and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Other OTC option contracts (including currency options and swaptions not priced through an independent pricing service) are valued based on quotations obtained from broker-dealers.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

Illiquid securities for which market quotations are readily available and have been evaluated by the adviser are considered and classified as fair valued securities pursuant to the Funds’ pricing policies and procedures.

December 31, 2018

As of December 31, 2018, securities and other investments of the funds included in net assets were fair valued as follows:

Fund	Equity securities1		Percentage of Net Assets			Securities classified as fair valued		Percentage of Net Assets			Securities fair valued by the Fund’s adviser		Percentage of Net Assets
Multi-Asset Income Fund	$	3,045,831		2.6	%	$	—		—	%	$	—		—	%
Strategic Alpha Fund		—		—	%		2,544,652		0.2	%		9,893,316		0.7	%

¹  Certain foreign equity securities were fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, 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, if applicable. 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, not to exceed the amount of positive principal adjustments on a cumulative basis. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of the 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. 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 values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities

|  96

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

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 into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income, and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.

The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the amount of income available to be distributed has been reduced by the following amounts as a result of losses arising from changes in exchange rates:

Multi-Asset Income Fund $ 429,926

The Funds 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.  The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts, to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to 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 a Fund

97  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

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. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. 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. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Fund’s or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.

e.  Futures Contracts.  The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular instrument or index for a specified price on a specified future date.

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities as “initial margin.” As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the broker. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.

Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, a Fund’s claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.

f.  Option Contracts.  The Funds may enter into option contracts. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the difference between the premium paid and the proceeds of the closing

|  98

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

sale transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.

When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Net premiums received for written options which expire are treated as realized gains. Net premiums received for written options which are exercised are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including commissions, is treated as a realized gain or, if the net premium received is less than the amount paid, as a realized loss. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument or index underlying the written option.

Exchange-traded options contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced. OTC options are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the option.

g.  Swaptions.  The Funds may enter into interest rate swaptions. An interest rate swaption gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to enter into or cancel an interest rate swap agreement at a future date. Interest rate swaptions may be either purchased or written. The buyer of an interest rate swaption may purchase either the right to receive a fixed rate in the underlying swap (known as a “receiver swaption”) or to pay a fixed rate (known as a “payer swaption”), based on the notional amount of the swap agreement, in exchange for a floating rate. The notional amounts of swaptions are not recorded in the financial statements.

When a Fund purchases an interest rate swaption, it pays a premium and the swaption is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing interest rate swaptions which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing interest rate swaptions which are exercised are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying swap to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the difference between the premium paid and the proceeds of the closing sale transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing interest rate swaptions is limited to the premium paid.

When a Fund writes an interest rate swaption, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Premiums received for written interest rate swaptions which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received for written interest rate swaptions which are exercised are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying swap

to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the premium received and any amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is treated as a realized gain or, if the premium received is less than the amount paid, as a realized loss. A Fund, as writer of a written interest rate swaption, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the swap underlying the written interest rate swaption.

OTC interest rate swaptions are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the swaption.

There were no swaptions held by the Funds as of December 31, 2018.

h.  Swap Agreements.  The Funds may enter into credit default and interest rate swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties (the “protection buyer” and “protection seller”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer (“reference obligation”) for a specified time period. The reference obligation may be one or more debt securities or an index of such securities. The Funds may be either the protection buyer or the protection seller. As a protection buyer, the Funds have the ability to hedge the downside risk of an issuer or group of issuers. As a protection seller, the Funds have the ability to gain exposure to an issuer or group of issuers whose bonds are unavailable or in short supply in the cash bond market, as well as realize additional income in the form of fees paid by the protection buyer. The protection buyer is obligated to pay the protection seller a stream of payments (“fees”) over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event, such as a default or a downgrade in credit rating, occurs on the reference obligation. The Funds may also pay or receive upfront premiums. If a credit event occurs, the protection seller must pay the protection buyer the difference between the agreed upon notional value and market value of the reference obligation. Market value in this case is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the value. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that a Fund as the protection seller could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments for those agreements for which the Fund is the protection seller. Implied credit spreads serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular reference entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

An interest rate swap is an agreement with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect themselves from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

The notional amounts of swap agreements are not recorded in the financial statements. Swap agreements are valued daily, and fluctuations in value are recorded in the Statements of Operations as change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Fees are accrued in accordance with the terms of the agreement and are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as fees receivable or payable. When received or paid, fees are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gain or loss. Upfront premiums paid or received by the Funds are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability, respectively, and are amortized or accreted over the term of the agreement and recorded as realized gain or loss. Payments made or received by the Funds as a result of a credit event or termination of the agreement are recorded as realized gain or loss.

Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). Bilateral swap agreements are traded between counterparties and, as such, are subject to the risk that a party to the agreement will not be able to meet its obligations. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Funds face the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Funds based on the daily change in the value of the centrally cleared swap agreement. For centrally cleared swaps, the Funds’ counterparty credit risk is reduced as the CCP stands between the Funds and the counterparty. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding swap agreements by segregating or earmarking cash or securities.

i.  Due to/from Brokers.  Transactions and positions in certain options, futures, forward foreign currency contracts and swap agreements are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between the Funds and the various broker/dealers. The due from brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Strategic Alpha Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts, options and as initial margin for futures contracts and centrally cleared swap agreements. The due to brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Strategic Alpha Fund represents cash and securities received as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts, options and

December 31, 2018

bilateral swap agreements. In certain circumstances the Funds’ use of cash, securities and/or foreign currency held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

j.  New Disclosure Requirements.  In accordance with new reporting requirements pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, presentation of certain amounts on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been conformed to the new disclosure requirements. Where the prior disclosure of Distributions to Shareholders separately stated distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gains for each share class of the Fund, they are now combined into a single line item for each respective share class. In addition, disclosure of Distributions in Excess of Net Investment Income has been removed from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The following is a summary of the previously disclosed amounts, as reported at December 31, 2017:

Multi-Asset Income Fund
FROM DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Net investment income
Class A	$	(2,006,749	)

Total distributions	$	(35,052,758	)
DISTRIBUTIONS IN EXCESS OF NET INVESTMENT INCOME	$	(534,108	)

k.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  The Trusts treat each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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 December 31, 2018 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable,

103  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

l.  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 in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as paydown gains and losses, controlled foreign corporations, defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, deferred Trustees’ fees, partnership basis adjustments, return of capital distributions received, swap adjustments, passive foreign investment company adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, convertible bond adjustments, distribution redesignations and premium amortization. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, premium amortization, partnership basis adjustments, defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, swap adjustments, wash sales, convertible bond adjustments, perpetual bond adjustments, forward foreign currency contract mark-to-market, straddle loss deferrals and futures contracts mark-to-market. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains are reported as 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 December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

	2018 Distributions Paid From:						2017 Distributions Paid From:
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total		Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
Multi-Asset Income Fund	$	6,314,655	$	2,864,723	$	9,179,378	$	6,743,242	$	2,818,786	$	9,562,028
Strategic Alpha Fund		49,713,220		—		49,713,220		34,540,664		—		34,540,664
U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund		7,917,360		87,168,205		95,085,565		5,656,689		29,396,069		35,052,758

|  104

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

For the year ended December 31, 2017, differences between these amounts and amounts disclosed in Note 2j of the Notes to Financial Statements are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed in per-share amounts, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.

As of December 31, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Multi-Asset Income Fund			Strategic Alpha Fund			U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund
Undistributed ordinary income	$	269,103		$	—		$	970,392
Undistributed long-term capital gains		—			—			27,476,039
Total undistributed earnings		269,103			—			28,446,431
Capital loss carryforward:
Short-term:
No expiration date		—			(36,014,163	)		—
Long-term:
No expiration date		—			(4,070,186	)		—
Total capital loss carryforward		—			(40,084,349	)		—
Late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals*		(3,172,650	)		(578,810	)		—
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		(9,790,564	)		(74,955,715	)		109,760,904
Total accumulated earnings (losses)	$	(12,694,111	)	$	(115,618,874	)	$	138,207,335
Capital loss carryforward utilized in the current year	$	—		$	12,234,528		$	—

* Under current tax law, capital losses, foreign currency losses, and losses on passive foreign investment companies and contingent payment debt instruments after October 31 or December 31, as applicable, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following taxable year. Multi-Asset Income Fund is deferring capital losses. Strategic Alpha Fund is deferring foreign currency losses.

December 31, 2018

As of December 31, 2018, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as a component of distributable earnings was as follows:

	Multi-Asset Income Fund			Strategic Alpha Fund			U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
Investments	$	(9,675,925	)	$	(48,858,451	)	$	109,760,904

m.  Loan Participations.  Strategic Alpha Fund may invest in loans to corporate, governmental or other borrowers. The Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, (i) a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the party from whom the Fund has purchased the participation and only upon receipt by that party of payments from the borrower and (ii) a Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement or to vote on matters arising under the loan agreement. Thus, a Fund may be subject to credit risk both of the party from whom it purchased the loan participation and the borrower and the Fund may have minimal control over the terms of any loan modification. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. Loan agreements and participations outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

n.  Repurchase Agreements.  Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% 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. 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. As of December 31, 2018, each Fund had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

o.  When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions.  The Funds may enter into when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. When-issued refers to transactions made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not been issued. Delayed delivery refers to transactions for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of when-issued and delayed delivery securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The security and the obligation to pay for it are recorded by the Funds at the time the commitment is entered into. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations during the time before the Funds take delivery of the security. No interest accrues to the Funds until the transaction settles.

Delayed delivery transactions include those designated as To Be Announced (“TBAs”) in the Portfolios of Investments. For TBAs, the actual security that will be delivered to fulfill the transaction is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. Certain transactions require the Funds or counterparty to post cash and/or securities as collateral for the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding delayed delivery commitments by segregating or earmarking cash or securities at the custodian.

Purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds’ NAV as if the Funds’ had created a degree of leverage in the portfolio. Risks may arise upon entering into such transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the transactions. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.

There were no when-issued or delayed delivery securities held by the Funds as of December 31, 2018.

p.  Stripped Securities.  Each Fund may invest in stripped securities, which are usually structured with two or more classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distribution on a pool of U.S. or foreign government securities or mortgage assets. In some cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). Stripped securities commonly have greater market volatility than other types of fixed-income securities. In the case of stripped mortgage securities, if the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may fail to recoup fully its investments in IOs.

q.  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 may 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.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not loan securities under this agreement.

r.  Unfunded Loan Commitments.  The Funds may enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding at the option of the borrower. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation, in full, even though a percentage of the committed amount may not be utilized by the borrower. Unfunded loan commitments, and the obligation for future funding, are recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at par value at the time the commitment is entered into. Purchases of unfunded loan commitments may have a similar effect on the Fund’s NAV as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in the portfolio. Market risk exists on purchases of these commitments to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the unfunded loan commitments.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any unfunded loan commitments.

s.  Indemnifications.  Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, its 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.

t.  New Accounting Pronouncement.  In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities acquired at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities acquired at a discount, which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized 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.); and

• Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when 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 Funds’ pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds do not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in

109  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2018, at value:

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund engaged in forward foreign currency for hedging purposes.

Multi-Asset Income Fund is subject to the risk of unpredictable declines in the value of individual equity securities and periods of below average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. The Fund may use purchased put options and written call options to hedge against a decline in value of an equity security that it owns and may use written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes. The Fund may also use purchased call options, written call options and written put options for investment purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund engaged in written put and call options for both hedging and investment purposes.

As the Funds value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.

Over-the-counter derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, options and swap agreements are entered into pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements negotiated between the Funds and their counterparties. ISDA agreements typically contain, among other things, terms for the posting of collateral and master netting provisions in the event of a default or other termination event. Collateral is posted by a Fund or the counterparty to the extent of the net mark-to-market exposure to the other party of all open contracts under the agreement, subject to minimum transfer requirements. Master netting provisions allow

December 31, 2018

the Funds and the counterparty, in the event of a default or other termination event, to offset amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts, including any posted collateral, to one net amount payable by either the Funds or the counterparty. The Funds’ ISDA agreements typically contain provisions that allow a counterparty to terminate open contracts early if the NAV of a Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and liabilities, and any related collateral received or pledged, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

As of December 31, 2018, gross amounts of over-the-counter derivative assets and liabilities not offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the related net amounts after taking into account master netting arrangements, by counterparty, are as follows:

Strategic Alpha Fund

Counterparty	Gross Amounts of Assets			Offset Amount			Net Asset Balance			Collateral (Received)/ Pledged			Net Amount

The actual collateral received or pledged, if any, may exceed the amounts shown in the table due to overcollateralization. Timing differences may exist between when contracts under the ISDA agreements are marked-to-market and when collateral moves. The ISDA agreements include tri-party control agreements under which collateral is held for the benefit of the secured party at a third party custodian, State Street Bank.

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the Fund’s aggregated unrealized gains and the amount of any collateral pledged to the counterparty, which may be offset by any collateral posted to the Fund by the counterparty. ISDA master agreements can help to manage counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under these ISDA agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure in respect of certain transactions, net of existing collateral already in place, exceeds a specified amount (typically $250,000, depending on the counterparty). With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearing house, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. Based on balances reflected on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following table shows (i) the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the Fund would incur if parties (including OTC derivative counterparties and brokers holding margin for exchange-traded derivatives) to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, and (ii) the amount of loss that the Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of December 31, 2018:

Fund	Maximum Amount of Loss - Gross		Maximum Amount of Loss - Net
Strategic Alpha Fund	$	32,927,520	$	32,403,402

Net loss amount reflects cash and securities received as collateral of $982,132, which is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities received as collateral are valued in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.  Natixis Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse Natixis Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to Natixis Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

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, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $20,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $12,000. Each Contract Review Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 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 Natixis ETF Trust 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.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Chairperson of the Board will receive a retainer fee at the annual rate of $360,000, each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) will receive, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $190,000, and the chairperson of the Governance Committee will receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. All other Trustee fees will remain unchanged.

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 Natixis ETF

Trust 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 Natixis ETF Trust, 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 in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Certain officers and employees of Natixis Advisors and Loomis Sayles are also officers and/or Trustees of the Trusts.

g.  Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses.  Natixis Advisors has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Funds to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for the Funds’ Class N shares. This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2019 and is not subject to recovery under the expense limitation agreement described above.

	Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses
Fund	Class N
Multi-Asset Income Fund	$	193
Strategic Alpha Fund		613
U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund		153

h.  Affiliated Ownership.  As of December 31, 2018, the Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held shares of Multi-Asset Income Fund and Strategic Alpha Fund representing 0.76% and 0.15% respectively, of the Funds’ net assets. Natixis US and affiliates held shares of U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund representing less than 0.01% of the Fund’s net assets.

i.  Payment by Affiliates.  For the year ended December 31, 2018, Loomis Sayles reimbursed Multi-Asset Income Fund $387 and Strategic Alpha Fund $99,621 and Harris reimbursed U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund $9,389 for losses incurred in connection with trading errors.

j.  Interfund Transactions.  A Fund may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common Trustees. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund engaged in purchase transactions of $568,905 with an affiliate of Natixis in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.

7.  Class-Specific Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses.  Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class A, Class C, and Class Y 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 those classes. Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class N are allocated to Class N.

December 31, 2018

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Funds incurred the following class-specific transfer agent fees and expenses (including sub-transfer agent fees, where applicable):

	Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses
Fund	Class A		Class C		Class N		Class Y
Multi-Asset Income Fund	$	40,617	$	22,199	$	193	$	39,860
Strategic Alpha Fund		16,660		17,499		613		606,574
U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund		462,264		78,571		153		251,052

8.  Line of Credit.  Effective April 12, 2108, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, entered into a $400,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and other fees in connection with the new line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected as miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Prior to April 12, 2018, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, entered into a 364-day, $400,000,000 syndicated, committed, unsecured line of credit with Citibank, N.A. to be used for temporary or emergency purposes only. Any one Fund was able borrow up to the full $400,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate did not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest was charged to the Funds at a rate equal to the greater of the eurodollar or the federal funds rate plus 1.00%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable on the last business day of each month, was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.

9.  Brokerage Commission Recapture.  Certain Funds have entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. All amounts rebated by the brokers are returned to the Funds under such agreements and are included in realized gains on investments in the Statements of

131  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2018, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:

Fund	Rebates
Multi-Asset Income Fund	$	444
U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund		1,635

Effective March 9, 2018, the brokerage commission recapture program was terminated.

10.  Concentration of Risk.  Each Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.

Strategic Alpha Fund is non-diversified, which means it is not limited under the 1940 Act to a percentage of assets that it may invest in any one issuer. Because the Fund may invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers, an investment in the Fund may involve a higher degree of risk than would be present in a diversified portfolio.

11.  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 Board of Trustees of Natixis Funds Trust I and Natixis Funds Trust II and Shareholders of Loomis Sayles Multi-Asset Income Fund, Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund and Loomis Sayles Strategic Alpha Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Loomis Sayles Multi-Asset Income Fund and Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund (two of the funds constituting the Natixis Funds Trust I), and Loomis Sayles Strategic Alpha Fund (one of the funds constituting the Natixis Funds II) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of

* Effective October 15, 2018, Charles Portier joined the portfolio management team of the Fund.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks to provide total return, through a combination of capital appreciation and current income, by investing in green bonds.

Market Conditions

The markets entered 2018 continuing the trends from 2017: the 10-year German yield rose from 0.43% in December 2017 to 0.80% in February and credit outperformed government bonds. That environment was seriously burdened by several political uncertainties:

· President Trump’s continuing trade war with China

· The increasing probability of a “hard Brexit” and

· The new Italian government’s battle with the European Commission.

Nevertheless, the European Central Bank (ECB) stopped its purchase program in December and the US Federal Reserve (Fed) hiked rates four times during the year, ending 2018 with a target range of 2.25%-2.50% on its benchmark funds rate. Taking into account the tapering and multiple hikes since December 2015, the Fed is no longer accommodative.

In this new context, US and German government bonds recovered their safe haven role. In contrast, credit suffered from significant outflows. The ECB remained on hold with negative short rates. The 10-year German bond dropped to 0.24% at the end of December 2018, down from 0.80% in February. The 10-year US Treasury yield fell to 2.78% in December from a high of 3.35% in September and 2.40% in December 2017.

Despite Italy and the EU agreeing to a 2.04% deficit target for 2019, the 10-year BTP/Bund spread¹ reached 1.60% at the end of December compared with 0.45% in December 2017 and a high of 2.29% in mid-November.

The euro investment grade credit spread versus the German yield (which tightened from 0.88% in December 2017 to 0.73% in mid-February) later widened dramatically to 1.52%. Credit valuation subsequently returned close to its 2016 levels.

¹  BTP/Bund spread: Italy risk premium is the spread between the 10-year Italian bond yield and the benchmark, 10-year German bond (bund) yield.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, Class Y shares of Mirova Global Green Bond Fund returned 0.89% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Green Bond Index, which returned 2.07%

1  |

Explanation of Fund Performance

Allocation had a negative impact on relative performance due to an overweight position in corporates relative to the benchmark. In May, during the Italian crisis, issue selection was also a relative detractor due to exposure to Italian credits such as Enel, Ferrovie, Hera and Intesa. We have not significantly reduced the position in Italian credits. We think Italy will remain in the Euro zone, and are confident that Italy will honor its debt with the European Central Bank’s help. Duration and yield curve positioning (flattening) had a positive impact. Foreign currency hedges detracted as well.

Outlook

We think some of the above-mentioned threats will abate. Specifically we believe that fears about an Italian exit from the Eurozone has been exaggerated and that the US might find an agreement with China. On the other hand, we believe that growth will slow down almost everywhere, and that President Trump might turn his attention toward the Eurozone after he inks a deal with China.

After the significant widening in credit spreads in the second half of the year, we think it’s still worth looking for value on specific names that we believe will outperform in the long run. We expect to maintain our significant underweight in Government issuers.

Finally, in spite of the 10-year German yield having reached historic lows, we think that it is still too early to implement a sizable short duration position; we maintain our modified duration close to neutral versus the benchmark.

** Effective November 1, 2018, Suzanne Senellart no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Fund.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Market Conditions

For most equity investors, 2018 was a challenging year. Whether fear of trade wars, want for a better Brexit deal, rising populism in Northern Europe and around the world, tightening US monetary policy, or news of a slowing China, investors did their best to stay optimistic for the first three quarters of the year; October brought an end to that optimism.

During that month alone the MSCI World Index (net) fell over 7%, giving up all the ground it gained throughout the year. With US technology stocks leading the downward march, many investors assumed that October’s selloff would be short lived — a mere knee-jerk reaction to rising rates in America — but many of the things that spooked investors in October resurfaced in December.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, Class Y Shares of the Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund returned -6.32% at net asset value. The Fund held up better than its benchmark, the MSCI World Index (Net), which returned -8.71% over the same period. It is important to note that there are material differences between the Fund and this benchmark.

Explanation of Fund Performance

The biggest contributors to relative performance were MasterCard, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Microsoft. All three are top-ten positions and all three also provided the greatest contributions to absolute performance.

MasterCard led the charge of the top performers as e-retail and e-payments continued to play an ever-increasing role in consumer transactions. Thermo Fisher Scientific impressed investors with solid, organic growth throughout the year. Cloud computing services coupled with big data analytical services provided strong growth for Microsoft.

Valeo, Acuity Brands, and AO Smith were the biggest detractors from relative performance for the year.

|  4

MIROVA GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE EQUITY FUND

Valeo, maker of high-voltage systems and stop-start devices for cars as well as other aftermarket devices that help to add miles to gallons, reported disappointing guidance in the third quarter of 2018. Acuity Brands, makers of energy efficient lighting, reported lackluster sales in all but the first quarter of the year. AO Smith had a decent year but while its fundamentals remained strong, investors sold it, worried that the cyclical nature of its business would lead to weak sales growth in quarters to come.

Outlook

We believe that 2019 will be a relatively flat market when compared to 2017 and 2018. Headlines will still be replete with reasons to be uneasy, but investors may come to accept the noise as the ”new normal.“ We will continue to look to environmental, demographic, social, and governance trends for investment opportunity.

Industries to watch are those tied to social media, e-retail, and automotive. Social media industry growth may be challenged by new rules from Washington DC and around the world. e-Retail will continue to win consumer favor over traditional stores. The automotive industry should continue to be roughed up by tariff talks; however, the role of the car in global mobility seems to be largely unchallenged. Electric vehicles coming to market in the next 5 years should solidify their place. 2019 will be a struggle for auto makers unless tariff talk leads to resolution or China’s economy heats back up.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Market Conditions

For most equity investors, 2018 was a challenging year. Fear of trade wars, want for a better Brexit deal, rising populism in Northern Europe and around the world, tightening US monetary policy, and news of a slowing China brought international markets down, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index.

Performance Results

The Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund was launched on December 28, 2018. For the period ending December 31, 2018, Class Y shares of the Fund returned 0.10% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 0.44%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

The slight underperformance came from an underweight in communications and energy names. The cash weight of around 6.5% was another detractor. Due to the newness of the Fund, cash levels are higher than we’d normally expect.

Outlook

We believe that 2019 will be a relatively flat market when compared to 2017 and 2018. Headlines will still be replete with reasons to be uneasy, but investors may come to accept the noise as the “new normal.” We will continue to look to environmental, demographic, social, and governance trends for investment opportunities.

Industries to watch are those tied to social media, e-retail, and automotive. Social media industry growth may be challenged by new rules from Washington, DC and around the world. E-Retail will continue to win consumer favor over traditional box stores. The automotive industry should continue to be roughed up by tariff talks; however, the role of the car in global mobility seems to be largely unchallenged. Electric vehicles coming to market in the next 5 years should solidify their place. 2019 will be a struggle for auto makers unless tariff talk leads to resolution or China’s economy heats back up.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different types of costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Fund’s prospectus. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The first line in the table for each class shows the actual account values and actual Fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. 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 for your Class.

The second line for the table of each class 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. 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 INITIAL ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that both the full Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, initially approve for a two-year term any new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements for a registered investment company, including newly formed funds such as the Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund (the “Fund”). The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the proposed investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) for the Fund at an in-person meeting held on December 5, 2018.

In connection with this review, Fund management and other representatives of the Fund’s adviser, Ostrum Asset Management U.S., LLC (the “Adviser”), distributed to the Trustees materials about the Fund and its proposed contractual arrangements. The Trustees also considered information provided to them throughout the course of the year in connection with their oversight of the Natixis Funds family. The information considered by the Trustees included, among other items, (i) information on the proposed advisory fees and other expenses to be charged to the Fund, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of peer groups and categories of funds and information on the advisory fees charged to another fund advised by the Adviser and the proposed expense cap, (ii) the size, education and experience of the Adviser’s investment staff and the investment strategies proposed to be used in managing the Fund, (iii) proposed arrangements for the distribution of the Fund’s shares, (iv) the procedures proposed to be employed to determine the value of the Fund’s assets, (v) the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and the compliance policies and procedures of the Trust, (vi) information about the Adviser’s performance, and (vii) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. The Trustees also considered the fact that they oversee other funds advised by the Adviser as well as information about the Adviser they had received in connection with their oversight of those other funds. The Trustees also considered the proposed transition of management of the Fund to Mirova U.S., LLC (“Mirova US”) due to an internal restructuring and that they were also being asked to approve an advisory agreement with Mirova US, which provided for the same services and the same fees, and which would take effect upon that transition. Because the Fund is newly formed and had not commenced operations at the time of the Trustees’ review, certain information, including data relating to Fund performance, was not available, and therefore could not be distributed to the Trustees. Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, the Adviser.

In considering whether to initially approve the Agreement, 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 weight to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreement included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below:

15  |

The nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreement. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Fund, and the resources to be dedicated to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees considered their experience with other funds advised by the Adviser, as well as the affiliation between the Adviser and Natixis Investment Managers, L.P., whose affiliates provide investment advisory services to other funds in the same family of mutual funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered not only the advisory services proposed to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund, but also the monitoring and administrative services proposed to be provided by Natixis Advisors, L.P. and its affiliates to the Fund. The Trustees also considered representations to the effect that the transition from the Adviser to Mirova US was not expected to change the portfolio management or other services provided to the 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.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the scope of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreement seemed consistent with the Fund’s operational requirements, and that the Adviser had the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory services that would be required by the Fund. The Trustees determined that the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided under the Agreement supported approval of the Agreement.

Investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser. Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, performance information for the Fund was not considered; however, the Board considered the performance of another fund managed by the Adviser that pursues a similar investment strategy as the Fund’s proposed strategy, as well as the performance of other accounts managed by the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, 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.

Based on this and other information, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that these relevant factors supported approval of the Agreement.

The costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund. Although the Fund had not yet commenced operations at the time of the Trustees’ review of the Agreement, the Trustees reviewed information comparing the proposed advisory fees and estimated total expenses of the Fund’s share classes with the fees and expenses of comparable share classes of comparable funds identified by the Adviser, including information about how those funds were selected, as well as information about differences in such fees. In evaluating the Fund’s proposed advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund would have an expense cap in place. In

addition, the Trustees considered information regarding the administrative and distribution fees to be paid by the Fund to the Adviser’s affiliates.

Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, historical profitability information with respect to the Fund was not considered. However, the Trustees noted the information provided in court cases in which adviser profitability was an issue, the estimated expense level of the Fund, and that the Fund would be subject to an expense cap.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the advisory fees and expenses proposed to be charged to the Fund were fair and reasonable, and supported the approval of the Agreement.

Economies of scale. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Adviser may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing the Fund, and whether those economies could be shared with the Fund through breakpoints in the advisory fees or other means, such as expense waivers or caps. The Trustees noted that the Fund will be subject to an expense cap. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreement, that the extent to which economies of scale might be shared with the Fund supported the approval of the Agreement.

The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

· The compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates would provide to the Fund.

· The nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services to be performed by the Adviser and its affiliates, both under the Agreement 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 and administrative services to the Fund, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Fund’s securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the benefits to the Natixis organization from the retention of the Adviser. 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.

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 the Agreement should be approved.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

1.  Organization.  Natixis Funds Trust I (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The 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:

Mirova Global Green Bond Fund (the “Global Green Bond Fund”)

Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund (the “Global Sustainable Equity Fund”)

Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund (the “International Sustainable Equity Fund)

International Sustainable Equity Fund commenced operations on December 28, 2018 via contributions to the Fund by Natixis Investment Managers, L.P. (“Natixis”) and affiliates of $10,002,000.

Global Sustainable Equity Fund and International Sustainable Equity Fund are diversified investment companies. Global Green Bond Fund is a non-diversified investment company.

Each Fund offers Class A, Class N and Class Y shares. Global Sustainable Equity Fund also offers Class C shares.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Global Sustainable Equity Fund and International Sustainable Equity Fund and 4.25% for Global Green Bond Fund. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for ten years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares) and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Class Y shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $100,000. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N and Class Y as outlined in the relevant Funds’ prospectus.

Most expenses 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 Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV and Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”) and Natixis ETF Trust. 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 (such as the Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A and Class C), and transfer agent fees are borne collectively for Class A, Class C and Class Y, and individually for Class N. 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 the Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions 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 follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and 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 subsequent to year-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Futures contracts are

valued at the most recent settlement price on the exchange on which the adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

As of December 31, 2018 securities held by the Funds were fair valued as follows:

Fund	Equity securities1		Percentage of Net Assets
Global Sustainable Equity Fund	$	34,032,073		41.7	%
International Sustainable Equity Fund		8,806,702		87.7	%

¹  Certain foreign equity securities were fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, 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, if 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 values 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 into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income, and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.

The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. For federal income tax purposes, a portion of the net realized gain or loss on investments arising from changes in exchange rates, which is reflected in the Statements of Operations, may be characterized as ordinary income and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.

The Funds 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.  Futures Contracts.  The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular instrument or index for a specified price on a specified future date.

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities as “initial margin.” As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the broker. Gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability). The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are

|  48

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.

Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, a Fund’s claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.

e.  Due from Brokers.  Transactions and positions in certain futures contracts are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between a Fund and the various broker/dealers. The due from brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Global Green Bond Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for futures contracts (including variation margin, as applicable). In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

f.  New Disclosure Requirements.  In accordance with new reporting requirements pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, presentation of certain amounts on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been conformed to the new disclosure requirements. Where the prior disclosure of Distributions to Shareholders separately stated distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gains for each share class of the Fund, they are now combined into a single line item for each respective share class. In addition, disclosure of Undistributed Net Investment Income and Distributions in Excess of Net Investment Income, where applicable, has been removed from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The following is a summary of the previously disclosed amounts, as reported at December 31, 2017:

Global Green Bond Fund
FROM DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Net investment income
Class A	$	(1,938	)
Class N		(501,290	)
Class Y		(675	)
Total distributions	$	(503,903	)
UNDISTRIBUTED NET INVESTMENT INCOME	$	194,112

Class Y		(563,786	)
Total distributions	$	(759,258	)
DISTRIBUTIONS IN EXCESS OF NET INVESTMENT INCOME	$	(11,666	)

g.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  The 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 of 1986, as amended, 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 December 31, 2018 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable,

|  50

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

h.  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 in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as foreign currency gains and losses and premium amortization. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to wash sales, premium amortization, futures contract mark-to-market, return of capital distributions received, deferred Trustee’s fees and forward foreign currency contract mark-to-market. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains are reported as 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 December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

	2018 Distributions Paid From:						2017 Distributions Paid From:
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total		Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
Global Green Bond Fund	$	965,630	$	—	$	965,630	$	503,903	$	—	$	503,903
Global Sustainable Equity Fund		188,601		3,238,164		3,426,765		270,696		488,562		759,258
International Sustainable Equity Fund		—		—		—		—		—		—

For the year ended December 31, 2017, differences between these amounts and amounts disclosed in Note 2f of the Notes to Financial Statements are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed in per-share amounts, based on

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.

As of December 31, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Global Green Bond Fund			Global Sustainable Equity Fund			International Sustainable Equity Fund
Undistributed ordinary income	$	44,196		$	—		$	13,843

Late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals*		—			(13,077	)		—
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		(348,170	)		2,362,909			20,947
Total accumulated earnings (losses)	$	(740,908	)	$	3,166,764		$	34,790
Capital loss carryforward utilized in the current year	$	1,142,510		$	—		$	—

* Under current tax law, capital losses, foreign currency losses and losses on passive foreign investment companies and contingent payment debt instruments after October 31 or December 31, as applicable, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following taxable year. Global Sustainable Equity Fund is deferring foreign currency losses.

As of December 31, 2018, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as a component of distributable earnings was as follows:

	Mirova Global Green Bond Fund			Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund			Mirova Int’l Sustainable Equity Fund
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
Investments		$(333,589	)		$2,363,238			$30,371
Foreign currency translations		(14,581	)		(329	)		(9,424	)

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

As of December 31, 2018, the cost of investments (including derivatives, if applicable) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a federal tax basis were as follows:

	Global Green Bond Fund			Global Sustainable Equity Fund			International Sustainable Equity Fund
Federal tax cost	$	27,920,395		$	79,160,162		$	9,340,238
Gross tax appreciation	$	396,643		$	8,161,494		$	56,444
Gross tax depreciation		(730,232	)		(5,798,256	)		(14,702	)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$	(333,589	)	$	2,363,238		$	41,742

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the components of distributable earnings are primarily attributable to foreign currency mark-to-market.

i.  Repurchase Agreements.  Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% 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. 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. As of December 31, 2018, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

j.  Indemnifications.  Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its 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.

k.  New Accounting Pronouncement.  In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities acquired at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities acquired at a discount, which continues to be

53  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized 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.); and

• Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when 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 December 31, 2018, at value:

A common stock valued at $953,564 was transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 during the period ended December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2017 this security was valued at the market price in the foreign market in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies. At December 31, 2018, this security was fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of the security.

All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

4.  Derivatives.  Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that the Funds used during the period include futures contracts.

Global Green Bond Fund seeks to provide total return, through a combination of capital appreciation and current income, by investing in green bonds. The Fund pursues its objective by primarily investing in fixed-income securities. In connection with its principal investment strategies, the Fund may also invest in futures, forwards and foreign currency transactions for investment purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund used futures contracts to gain yield curve exposure in accordance with its objective.

The Fund is subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Fund’s investments in fixed-income securities. The Fund will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that it invests in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates and to manage duration without having to buy or sell portfolio

December 31, 2018

securities. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund used futures contracts to manage duration.

The Fund is 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 Fund may use futures contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Fund’s holdings of foreign securities. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund used futures contracts for currency hedging purposes.

The following is a summary of derivative instruments for Global Green Bond Fund as of December 31, 2018, as reflected within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

Assets	Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts
Exchange-traded asset derivatives
Interest rate contracts	$	12,359
Foreign exchange contracts		49,846
Total exchange-traded asset derivatives	$	62,205
Liabilities	Unrealized depreciation on futures contracts
Exchange-traded liability derivatives
Interest rate contracts	$	(44,667	)
Foreign exchange contracts		(72,499	)
Total exchange-traded liability derivatives	$	(117,166	)

Transactions in derivative instruments for Global Green Bond Fund during the year ended December 31, 2018, as reflected within the Statements of Operations were as follows:

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on:	Futures contracts
Interest rate contracts	$	29,590
Foreign exchange contracts		1,042,073
Total	$	1,071,663
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on:	Futures contracts

Foreign exchange contracts		209,053
Total	$	182,409

57  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.

The volume of futures contract activity as a percentage of net assets, for Global Green Bond Fund based on month-end notional amounts outstanding during the period, at absolute value, was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2018:

Global Green Bond Fund	Futures
Average Notional Amount Outstanding		77.32	%
Highest Notional Amount Outstanding		89.67	%
Lowest Notional Amount Outstanding		68.71	%
Notional Amount Outstanding as of December 31, 2018		78.96	%

Notional amounts outstanding at the end of the prior period are included in the averages above.

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral. With exchange-traded derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because the exchange’s clearing house, as counterparty to these instruments, stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract. Credit risk still exists in exchange-traded derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all of the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. The following table shows the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the Fund would incur if parties to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and the collateral or other security, if any, for the amount due proved to be of no value to the Fund, as of December 31, 2018:

Fund	Maximum Amount of Loss - Gross		Maximum Amount of Loss - Net

6. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

a.  Management Fees.  Ostrum Asset Management U.S., LLC (“Ostrum US”) (formerly, Natixis Asset Management U.S., LLC) serves as investment adviser to the Funds. Under the terms of the management agreements, each Fund pays a management fee at the following annual rates, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:

Fund	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Global Green Bond Fund		0.55	%
Global Sustainable Equity Fund		0.80	%
International Sustainable Equity Fund		0.80	%

Ostrum US has given binding undertakings to the Funds to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Funds’ operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, organizational and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification expenses. These undertakings are in effect until April 30, 2019 for Global Green Bond Fund and until April 30, 2020 for Global Sustainable Equity Fund and International Sustainable Equity Fund, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, and are reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings. Waivers/reimbursements that exceed management fees payable are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable from investment adviser.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreement were as follows:

	Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Fund	Class A			Class C			Class N			Class Y
Global Green Bond Fund		0.95	%		—			0.65	%		0.70	%
Global Sustainable Equity Fund		1.20	%		1.95	%		0.90	%		0.95	%
International Sustainable Equity Fund		1.20	%		—			0.90	%		0.95	%

Effective October 1, 2018, State Street Bank agreed to reduce the fees it receives from Natixis Advisors for serving as sub-administrator to the Funds. Also, effective October 1, 2018, Natixis Advisors agreed to voluntarily waive fees paid by the Funds in an amount equal to the reduction in sub-administrative fees discussed above. The waiver is in effect through June 30, 2019, at which time it will be reevaluated as part of the annual review of the administrative fee contract, as noted above.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the administrative fees for each Fund were as follows:

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.  Natixis Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse Natixis Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to Natixis Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations) for each Fund were as follows:

Fund	Sub-Transfer Agent Fees
Global Green Bond Fund	$	2,209
Global Sustainable Equity Fund		53,841

Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y 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 those classes.

e.  Commissions.  Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by Natixis Distribution during the year ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:

Fund	Commissions
Global Sustainable Equity Fund	$	5,500

f.  Trustees Fees and Expenses.  The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distribution, Natixis or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $340,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that he attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $170,000. 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, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $20,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $12,000. Each Contract Review Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 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 Natixis ETF Trust 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.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Chairperson of the Board will receive a retainer fee at the annual rate of $360,000, each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) will receive, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $190,000, and the

chairperson of the Governance Committee will receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. All other Trustee fees will remain unchanged.

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 Natixis ETF Trust 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 Natixis ETF Trust, 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 in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Certain officers and employees of Natixis Advisors and its affiliates are also officers and/or Trustees of the Trust.

8.  Line of Credit.  Effective April 12, 2018, Global Green Bond and Global Sustainable Equity Fund together, with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, entered into a $400,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and other fees in connection with the new line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected as miscellaneous expenses on the

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Natixis Funds Trust I and Shareholders of Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund, Mirova Global Green Bond Fund and Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Mirova Global Sustainable Equity Fund, Mirova Global Green Bond Fund and Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund (three of the funds constituting Natixis Funds Trust I, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund for the period December 28, 2018 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2018 and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and for Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund for the period December 28, 2018 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, and the results of each of their operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund for the period December 28, 2018 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2018 and changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and for Mirova International Sustainable Equity Fund for the period December 28, 2018 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

|  70

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks a high level of federal tax-exempt current income, consistent with the preservation of capital.

Market Conditions

Risk markets reeled during the fourth quarter, devoid of a specific catalyst but simmering in a stew of uncertainty over global growth prospects amid decelerating trade flows and intensifying trade rhetoric. What began the year amid unfettered optimism resulting from the corporate tax cut degenerated into a fiscal policy fizzle that fueled record stock buybacks but little in the way of long-term capital investment. Much of the capital market return differentiation for the year was determined during the fourth quarter as risk markets experienced a significant correction which, in turn, contributed to healthy rate market gains. The improved rate market tone helped mitigate the declines experienced during the first three quarters and left year-over-year yield increases beyond the 5-year portion of the curve contained within 30 basis points (one basis point (bp) is equal to 1/100 of 1%). The sharp increase in equity volatility contributed to significant credit spread (the difference in yield between 10-year US Treasury bonds and lower-rated bonds) widening in the corporate market, while municipals remained relatively well bid amid a steep downdraft in new issue supply.

· Rate markets recovered somewhat during the fourth quarter but ended the year with yields moderately higher, particularly on the shorter end of the yield curve (a curve that shows the relationship among bond yields across the maturity spectrum).

· The Treasury curve continued to flatten, with 2- to 10-year bonds ending the year roughly 30 basis points tighter at 20 basis points, and remained a focus of participants wary of an economic deceleration.

· Equity markets sold off sharply in the fourth quarter, taking most indices in both developed and emerging markets firmly into the red for the year.

· Energy markets collapsed during the last quarter as efforts to curtail production failed to arrest a relentless selloff that took crude prices down nearly 40% from their October highs.

· Credit spreads widened as risk markets endured a broad price correction and concomitant rise in volatility.

1  |

· Monetary policy normalization continued apace during the year as the Federal Reserve boosted short rates by 100 bps and scaled back reinvestment of its balance sheet by $420 billion.

The signal economic event over the past year was the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The tax plan was designed to incentivize business fixed investment, which legislators expected would result in stronger employment and wage growth. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated the cost of the package at $1.9 trillion over a 10-year period, and the CBO further expanded its deficit estimate when Congress added $300 billion of additional spending over 2018 and 2019. We were skeptical about implementing a pro-cyclical fiscal policy of significant proportion to an economy nine years into an expansion and nearing full employment.

While it is difficult to isolate the impact of the plan one year after implementation, we can at least evaluate the performance of the factors legislators were targeting. Employment growth improved, as expected, with nonfarm payrolls estimated to have averaged a monthly increase of 220,000 in 2018 versus 182,000 the prior year. Wage growth also edged higher, running at an annual rate of 3.2% versus 2.7% in 2017. However, business fixed investment through the first three quarters of 2018 is estimated to have been flat versus the pace measured during the same period for the year prior, while stock buybacks announced in 2018 are estimated to have topped $1 trillion. Clearly, the investment surge occurred, but in the form of financial investment rather than direct capital investment in property, plant and equipment. As such, there is likely to be minimal long-term enhancement to economic productivity or direct tangible benefit beyond the short-run boost to growth resulting from the tax cut. Meanwhile, the US economy will be approaching the longest expansion in the post-war era while running a fiscal deficit approaching $1 trillion (or nearly 5% of GDP).

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, Class Y shares of the McDonnell Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned 0.58% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which returned 1.28%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

The municipal market environment was characterized by “supply constrained” conditions throughout most of 2018. New issue supply declined by 24% from the prior year as the prohibition of advance refunding issues contained in the tax legislation was implemented. We anticipated these conditions coming into the year, but the degree of shortfall was at the high end of expectations. Market conditions also featured continued quality spread compression as investors competed to access the reduced supply of available bonds. In addition, credit-specific spread tightening occurred across several large issuers as investors became more tolerant of underfunded long-term liabilities than they had been in a more discerning credit environment. Against the backdrop of a rising tide of spread tightening, we continued to focus on underlying credit quality fundamentals as the economic expansion enters its tenth year.

MCDONNELL INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Security selection and sector weightings contributed negatively to performance, while yield curve posture and duration were additive. Non-callable, high quality, long duration structured securities hampered performance for the majority of the year given their longer effective duration, but significantly outperformed the general market in the fourth quarter. Additionally, underweight exposure to the Pre-refunded, State General Obligation and Lease sectors hampered performance, although this was somewhat offset by an overweight and outperformance in the Hospital and Water & Sewer sectors. With respect to curve positioning, an underweight on the longer end of the yield curve benefited performance as reduced investor demand caused the curve to steepen with long rates rising.

Outlook

Capital markets entered the new year with the prevailing balance having shifted considerably in recent months. With equities piercing a 20% drop from their highs, credit spreads widening 50 bps and scaled-back market expectations for further Fed tightening, investors now must assess whether the markets are signaling economic storm clouds on the horizon. The reversal of fortunes from the near-euphoria that prevailed at the outset of last year is notable. Clearly, the capital markets face manifest hurdles in the year ahead including China’s slowdown, the Brexit impasse, the government shutdown and the expected release of the special counsel’s report to note several. But while last year’s sentiment proved overly optimistic, we expect this year’s gloom may prove equally pessimistic as 2019 unfolds. The fundamental underpinnings of the expansion remain intact. It would be flippant to suggest that investors ignore the warnings embodied in the recent market turmoil, but one would be similarly ill-advised to not consider the underlying growth fundamentals of the real economy. Employment, consumption and investment remain solid and inflation below target. It is difficult to become excessively pessimistic about capital market prospects with economic fundamentals offering little in the way of negative confirmation. As such, we believe the current correction represents a more attractive entry point for risk investors with a longer-term timeframe. Conversely, we expect that the ratcheting back of Fed expectations may well prove premature.

While we do not expect the Fed will have to aggressively tighten policy over the medium term, we do anticipate eventual modest upward pressure on rates, particularly on the shorter end of the yield curve, as we move forward. We remain vigilant for signs that the expansion has run its course but do not expect that eventuality to loom large, at least over the first half of the year.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Market Conditions

Throughout the year, investor pessimism came from an array of issues, including unresolved trade wars, tariffs and interest rate increases. Compounding these fears, investors who were accustomed to a growing US economy became concerned over an impending recession given that economists predicted slowing growth ahead. Anxiety intensified further from erratic energy prices as supply/demand imbalances and other market factors caused key energy benchmarks to fall 40% by year-end from nearly four-year high levels reached in October. The year culminated in a government shutdown owing to an impasse over border security and immigration policy. These events, along with weak fourth-quarter asset manager performance across the industry, sparked portfolio redemptions and other de-risking actions and led to forced selling of equities in US and global markets, which sent some major benchmark indexes into bear market territory.

Amid this gloomy backdrop, some positive news emerged. Third-quarter gross domestic product grew a robust 3.5% and generated the fastest annual corporate profit increase since 2012. The unemployment rate fell to 3.7%, the lowest level in nearly 50 years, and has remained constant since September. The tight labor market caused upward pressure on weekly wages that rose 3.3% in the third quarter and outpaced inflation. Holiday retail sales, a metric the market watches closely, rose by 5.1% year-over-year to more than $850 billion, which was the strongest improvement in six years. Online holiday sales advanced 19.1%, while sales at physical department stores declined 1.3%. Even so, holiday online department store sales increased 10.2%, and this acceleration of online sales is expected to continue as businesses adapt to an evolving retail environment.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, Class Y shares of Natixis Oakmark Fund returned -12.76% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500^® Index, which returned -4.38%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

As value investors with an emphasis on individual stock selection, our sector weights are a byproduct of our bottom-up process. On an absolute-return basis, shares in the healthcare sector gained the most value, while holdings in the industrials sector detracted the most.

General Electric (GE) and Citigroup were the largest detractors to fund performance for the calendar year. GE faced a succession of issues in 2018 that influenced its share price, which was especially volatile in the second half of the year, as market analysts reassessed key company estimates, both lower and higher. The company’s second-quarter results released in July included revenue and earnings per share that outpaced market forecasts, and management expressed that results were in line with the company’s expectations. GE later announced it was awarded a new $630.5 million contract with the US Navy for repair and maintenance of F414 aircraft engine components. Even so, in September, some influential market analysts lowered price targets for the company. Subsequently, H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., formerly CEO of Danaher, was unexpectedly named GE’s chairman and CEO. Along with this announcement, management lowered full-year guidance. Late in October, the company reported third-quarter revenues that largely met market expectations. Earnings per share, however, were roughly 30% lower than forecasts, and the company cut its quarterly dividend to $0.01 from $0.12. Management did not provide fourth quarter or 2019 guidance, and the lack of forecasts along with concerns over the company’s liquidity added to investor anxiety. To explain, Culp candidly pointed out that when discussing numbers on a forward-looking basis, he wants to do so with conviction and confidence, which was not possible at that time. He also stated that raising additional equity was not then necessary. We still concur with his assessment. According to our calculations, GE has sufficient liquidity from its industrial operations and the market has overlooked the supplemental liquidity provided by recent sale proceeds and equity positions. All these factors taken together lead us to believe that the company will reach its overall leverage targets without raising equity. In addition, its liquidity position remains steady. Lastly, in December, positive market analysts’ notes upgrading the company provided GE’s share price a modest boost. Management continues to adjust the company’s portfolio of businesses, and while the restructuring process may take some time, we believe this approach will work to benefit shareholders into the future. Overall, we believe that the stock has declined more than warranted and that GE’s intrinsic value is well above the current price quote.

Citigroup finished lower for the first quarter as its share price tracked US market movements. The company’s fourth-quarter earnings results largely aligned with market forecasts. Importantly, consistent with recent trends, the company’s underlying business performance matched our expectations. We were pleased that loan growth was healthy (+5% from last year), driven by core global consumer banking and international city bank segment growth of 7%. Deposits also increased 1% from a year earlier. Citigroup’s third-quarter results issued in October were solid, in our assessment, and generally aligned with our estimates. Earnings per share rose to $1.73, which reflects an increase of roughly 22% from a year earlier. We were especially pleased that expenses were well controlled, which helped improve the company’s efficiency ratio to 57.3%. In addition, Citigroup returned $6.4 billion to shareholders by way of share repurchases and dividend payments in the third quarter. However, at an analysts’ conference in December, CFO John Gerspach stated expectations that fourth-quarter revenue will be slightly lower than what the company had achieved in the year-ago quarter. Lower revenues could jeopardize the company’s ability to meet its efficiency targets within the desired timeframe. Gerspach indicated that while the

7  |

equity business continues to perform well, a drop in fixed income market revenue prompted the reduced outlook. We did not find Gerspach’s announcement overly concerning, as we expect some degree of revenue fluctuation in the current macroeconomic environment. Overall, we remain satisfied with Citigroup’s fundamental performance.

The leading contributors to fund performance for the year were HCA Healthcare and Netflix. HCA Healthcare’s share price gained value in three of the past four quarters as the company’s results released during the reporting period showed positive growth momentum. Revenue, earnings and earnings per share for the first, second and third quarters of 2018 surpassed market expectations. Importantly, key operating metrics, such as same-facility equivalent admissions and same-facility revenue per equivalent admission, demonstrated strengthening trends over the course of the year. These developments provide us evidence that the company’s strategy of focusing on higher acuity visits is paying off. In addition, management stated that capital investments are now “yielding solid market share gains.” HCA paid $121 million worth of dividends and bought back $302 million worth of shares during the third quarter (year-to-date share repurchases total $1.195 billion), which aligns with our estimates. Along with its latest earnings release, management increased full-year revenue, earnings and earnings per share guidance ranges. Furthermore, management continues to seek out strategically sound acquisition opportunities to broaden the company’s scope. One such example was its purchase in August of Mission Health, a six-hospital health facility in North Carolina that allowed expansion across a state where it previously had no operations. Despite these positive outcomes, HCA’s share price dropped in December in conjunction with other hospital stocks as the future of the Affordable Care Act was called into question when a US District Court Judge ruled the law unconstitutional. The law currently remains intact, and we expect a succession of appeals will ensue, perhaps over a protracted period. In the meantime, we have not changed our valuation metrics for HCA as we remain pleased with the company’s fundamental performance.

Netflix ended 2018 quite strong, from our perspective, with the addition of 8.3 million subscriptions in the fourth quarter. Furthermore, average revenue per user in the United States increased 13% from last year (+26% internationally, including currency effects), amid this accelerated subscriber growth. In February, Netflix signed a five-year agreement with television producer Ryan Murphy, who is known for his work on hit shows, such as “Glee,” “American Horror Story” and “American Crime Story.” Under the terms of this deal, Murphy will create a number of new series and films exclusively for Netflix. In addition to Murphy, the company recently added Shonda Rhimes and Oscar-winning filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen to its talent lineup for the production of original content. We think these alliances provide the company with considerable competitive advantages. Netflix’s first-quarter revenue and earnings per share slightly outpaced market estimates, while net subscriber additions in the United States and internationally were well ahead of market expectations. We were impressed with the acceleration in subscriber growth, especially as the company implemented a price increase in the previous quarter. Netflix issued second-quarter earnings per share that outpaced market expectations, while revenue was in line with projections. Later, third-quarter earnings per share were 30%

NATIXIS OAKMARK FUND

higher than projections. Importantly, net subscriber additions for both domestic and international streaming handily outpaced market estimates along with management’s forecasts. The company’s global growth continues unabated as trailing 12-month paying subscriber net additions reached a record 26.4 million. Netflix predicts fourth-quarter net subscriber additions for domestic (1.80 million) and international (7.60 million) streaming that are far in excess of what the market anticipates. We believe the company is poised to benefit further from the transition to internet-provided TV, which we expect will prove advantageous for shareholders.

Outlook

As seasoned investors, we have witnessed similar times of uncertainty. Investors now appear to generally lack an appetite for risk and have gotten more defensive, moving from equity investments to cash and other seemingly safe haven instruments, as illustrated by large equity mutual fund outflows that occurred late in the fourth quarter. Investors may presently believe the best market gains are behind them and have lowered expectations moving into 2019. We adopt the opposite view. Market declines offer ripe opportunities for us to identify extraordinary investment candidates that we believe should reward shareholders going forward.

Market Conditions

Volatility prevailed throughout 2018 as investors digested the implications of newly imposed tariffs. Trade wars began in earnest across the spectrum of US partners, especially the largest traders of Canada, Mexico and China. Along with import tariffs on steel and aluminum mainly aimed at Canada and Mexico, the United States enacted tariffs on Chinese imports. Retaliatory counter-tariffs soon ensued and many European Union countries also entered the fray. A threat was issued to impose a 20% tariff on European auto imports, which Moody’s Investors Service found would cause negative disruptions to the global supply chain across the auto industry and push vehicle prices higher. While a tentative agreement was reached with Mexico and talks persisted with the European Union, the United States and China continued to impose tit-for-tat tariffs. Taking the trade wars into consideration, the International Monetary Fund trimmed its outlook for 2019 economic growth by 0.2% for the US, China and the global economy to 2.5%, 6.2% and 3.7%, respectively. However, trade tensions were eased somewhat after a meeting between US President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping resulted in a postponement of planned tariff increases scheduled for January 1.

Elsewhere, Brexit negotiations faltered, which prompted the resignation of UK Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab and the decline of the pound sterling. Despite the discord, UK Prime Minister Theresa May survived a vote of no confidence held by her own Conservative Party in December. In Japan, third-quarter gross domestic product growth was revised downward from -1.2% to -2.5% at an annualized rate, a sharp decrease from the 2.8% growth in the second quarter. Likewise, the pace of economic growth in China decelerated to 6.5% in the third quarter from 6.7% in the second quarter with fears that fourth-quarter growth could sink to an even lower rate.

Erratic energy prices also served as a source of concern during the reporting period. Supply/demand imbalances and other market factors caused key energy benchmarks to fall 40% by year-end from nearly four-year high levels reached in October. In response, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other countries agreed to a reduction in production of 1.2 million barrels a day effective for six months beginning in January.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, Class Y shares of Natixis Oakmark International Fund returned -23.93% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World ex USA Index (Net), which returned -14.09%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

Geographically, our average weightings for the year were 81% in Europe, 5% in Japan and 3% in Australia. The remaining positions are in South Africa, the United States, Indonesia, Mexico, India, Taiwan, China, South Korea and Canada. As value investors with an emphasis on individual stock selection, our country and sector weights are a byproduct of our bottom-up process.

On an absolute-return basis, shares in the consumer staples sector produced the lone positive collective return, while shares in the healthcare sector lost the most value.

The largest detractors from return were BNP Paribas and Daimler. Results from BNP Paribas for the first two quarters of 2018 were mixed, which caused investor concern early in the year. The company realized fiscal first-half year-over-year declines in revenue, pre-provision profit and operating income. Even so, the declines largely came from a number of one-time items, including outsized regulatory tax payments along with capital gains, credit costs and transformation expenses that were greater than in the year-ago period. In addition, results from corporate and institutional banking were especially robust in the same period last year, which made comparative results appear weaker than absolute performance indicated. Later, BNP issued third-quarter revenue, operating income and profit before tax that missed market forecasts, while net income exceeded projections. The company experienced negative leverage in all three of its operating divisions on an underlying basis, which management attributed to the persistent low interest rate environment, increased investment in the international financial services division, and, in particular, to sluggish trading conditions in the corporate and institutional banking division. However, the substandard operating results were not especially surprising to us, given the difficult end-market conditions coupled with costs invested to restructure parts of the business. In October, we met with CEO Jean-Laurent Bonnafé, who expressed confidence that BNP will reach its 2020 return on equity target of more than 10% and expects this ratio will approach 11% within the next five years if market conditions remain constant. Furthermore, BNP was pressured by fears about European politics, although these headlines have not reduced our assessment of the company’s long-term intrinsic value. The company possesses a dominant retail banking franchise along with a diversified business base, which allows for cost of funding, liquidity and scale advantages versus its smaller peers. BNP also improved its risk profile by exiting riskier business lines and increasing its capital level, which have worked to further strengthen its balance sheet. Looking forward, we believe the company will begin to generate greater net savings in 2019 and 2020 from its extensive cost transformation project currently under way. Overall, our investment thesis for this company is intact, as we believe BNP’s capital position is solid and its management team is working to enhance shareholder value.

Daimler’s share price declined significantly in the second quarter after management announced a profit warning and indicated 2018 total earnings would be slightly below the 2017 level. The company cited challenges, such as higher raw material costs, adverse effects from currency movements and minor difficulties with US suppliers, as the cause of the adjustment. Management worked to mitigate these issues through cost cutting. As the year progressed, Daimler faced the threat of newly imposed tariffs from both the United States and China, vehicle recalls that stemmed from concerns surrounding manipulated emission control systems (management adamantly denies the use of defeat devices), and unexpected news that CEO Dieter Zetsche (age 65) will step down in May 2019. While these matters prompted investor anxiety, we remained confident that Daimler possessed the wherewithal to manage each of these situations successfully. Later, the company’s fiscal nine-month results illustrated that Daimler had encountered a difficult period as revenues from industrial operations remained unchanged and the earnings margin contracted. Full-period Mercedes-Benz revenue dropped 3.2% and unit sales declined 6.3% in the third quarter, primarily driven by a lack of product availability in the United States and significant issues pertaining to compliance with new European emissions regulations. Management again lowered full-year earnings guidance for Mercedes-Benz owing to increased diesel/regulatory provisions. However, the year ended on a positive note as global Mercedes-Benz sales increased 1.5% in November from a year earlier, which marked the brand’s best-ever November sales growth. In addition, Daimler delivered its first battery-powered electric commercial truck to US-based Penske Truck Leasing and also announced it is investing more than €1 billion to create a global battery production network. We think both of these developments will provide significant future advantages. Lastly, President Trump told German auto executives in December that he had no immediate plans to impose additional US vehicle tariffs. Overall, Daimler still meets our operational performance expectations and its shares are trading at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.

The top contributors to the yearly return were Axis Bank and Safran. We initiated a position in Axis Bank in the first quarter. In our view, the company’s fiscal first-quarter earnings results, released in late July, further solidified our thesis that asset quality improvement will drive a boost in earnings for the company. Later, Axis’ fiscal first-half earnings results exhibited a continued underlying improvement in asset quality. Despite slower loan growth, management believes activity should pick up in the second half, particularly on the corporate side, which accounts for over one-third of total loans. The company has also more than doubled its market share in credit card spending over the past five years to about 11%. As a whole, our investment thesis is driven by the normalization of credit costs where trends remain positive, in our estimation. We believe India’s strong economic growth, coupled with low financial penetration, should result in attractive long-term growth rates for the Indian banking sector. We have confidence that Axis is a solid investment that should reward shareholders into the future.

Safran delivered strong first-quarter earnings results as exhibited by revenues of EUR 4.22 billion that exceeded market expectations of EUR 4.07 billion. The company also reiterated its outlook for the full fiscal year, noting that one of the only reasons Safran did

not raise guidance was due to it being so early in the year. Later, we sold out of our position as its share price approached our estimate of its true value.

Outlook

Geopolitical events have been and will always be part of the investing climate. Elections, trade disputes, wars and other forms of conflict tend to have large impacts on short-term stock prices. However, we believe that underlying value is largely unaffected by macro events. Instead, a company’s true worth is based on its ability to generate cash and create value for its owners over the long term, in our view. As value investors, this is what we study, analyze and price. We will remain focused on fundamental factors and use discipline to take advantage of the market’s volatility and investors’ impatience. We have faced numerous situations like this in the past and have been able to create long-term value for our investors. We remain confident that we can continue to deliver strong long-term results, especially given where valuations are today.

Effective July 31, 2009, the fund was closed to new investors.

Effective January 18, 2019, Stephen Davis serves as portfolio manager of the Fund and Messrs. Alf, Fargason and Weber no longer serve as portfolio managers.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Market Conditions

Fiscal stimulus and regulatory relief in the United States led to accelerating domestic growth, which, combined with quantitative tightening by the Federal Reserve, fueled a rally in the US dollar. US dollar strength led to weakness in overseas markets, which were further pressured by trade war rhetoric between the United States and China. With the Federal Reserve raising interest rates throughout the year and the US economy producing strong nominal growth, global liquidity left international capital markets and sought the safety of US assets.

It is quite unusual to have material fiscal stimulus this late in a business cycle with little slack in labor markets. For the first time in several decades there are more job openings than people remaining in the labor pool. Accelerating economic growth is a welcome attribute; however, this late in the business cycle at a time when dollar liquidity is declining and margins are under pressure, the benefits will likely accrue to Main Street rather than Wall Street.

Market volatility returned as liquidity conditions tightened and interest rates increased due to a modest uptick in inflationary pressures and an anticipated increase in US Treasury issuance to fund expanding deficits. With the yield on the 2-year US Treasury now higher than the dividend yield for most stocks, further hikes in Treasury rates will likely continue to pressure stock valuations.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, Class Y shares of Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund returned -14.61% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Value Index, which returned -12.86%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

Small-cap stocks lagged the broad market for the year. The Fund underperformed the benchmark, primarily due to stock selection within the financials, materials, and industrials

VAUGHAN NELSON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

sectors. Stock selection within the healthcare and technology sectors contributed the most to returns, especially on a relative basis. Even though the portfolio was underweight the traditional defensive sectors such as consumer staples, REITs, and utilities, it was also underweight the most cyclical areas of the benchmark. As such, the Fund experienced better support during broad market selloffs but underperformed the benchmark during lower quality rallies like the one in the second quarter, the only quarter in 2018 that the Fund underperformed the benchmark.

Stock selection within the industrials sector detracted the most from relative performance. REV Group and Multi-Color Corporation had the greatest negative impact on returns. REV Group suffered from supply chain disruptions and tariff-related headwinds, which increased costs and delayed the production and shipment of vehicles from several of its product lines. Multi-Color, a provider of label solutions for consumer products, performed poorly due to slowing organic revenue growth and disappointing results from its Constantia acquisition. The company’s balance sheet is also more highly levered than peers, which had a negative impact on the stock’s performance as interest rates rose.

The materials sector performed poorly for the year as US dollar strength, trade tariffs, and slowing global growth negatively affected the sector. Berry Global Group and Venator Materials detracted the most from performance. Berry lagged the market as more highly leveraged companies underperformed as interest rates rose and sluggish volumes in South America affected overall volumes. In addition, higher resin costs driven by oil prices were a headwind for Berry most of the year. Venator traded lower due to softening TiO2 volumes and pricing in Europe and inventory destocking in Asia, which drove concerns that the current TiO2 cycle may be ending. The company also announced that it was shutting down its Pori, Finland plant following a fire that destroyed much of the facility.

Financials also performed poorly as the yield curve flattened and loan growth slowed. Regional banks including Chemical Financial and Pacific Premier Bancorp underperformed the market as investors began to factor in a slower growth environment and the potential for rising credit costs.

Real estate and utilities performed better than the market, especially in the fourth quarter selloff as investors sought safety. The Fund was underweight these sectors, which affected relative performance.

The technology sector contributed the most to the Fund’s performance for the year, primarily driven by stock selection. Even though the benchmark’s technology sector was down low double digits for the year, the Fund’s return in technology was positive. CyberArk Software and Integrated Device Technology were two of the best performing stocks. CyberArk benefited from brisk demand for cybersecurity software, which contributed to strong license growth during the year. Integrated Device, a semiconductor company, performed well due to steady growth in the communications, data center, and industrial markets. In addition, during the third quarter the company reached an agreement to be acquired by Renesas Electronics at an attractive premium.

The Fund’s healthcare stocks also performed well due to stock selection, materially outperforming the benchmark. Cotiviti and LivaNova were the best performing names.

19  |

Cotiviti, a software provider to the healthcare industry, was purchased by a competitor, Verscend, at an attractive premium during the second quarter. LivaNova offers cardiac surgery, neuromodulation, and cardiac rhythm management products. The company benefited from accelerating revenue growth and from a potential material market expansion, pending CMS approval of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy for treatment-resistant depression.

Consumer staples was one of the worst performing sectors in the benchmark for the year. The Fund was underweight the sector and owned only one consumer staples stock, Performance Food Group, so relative performance in the sector was positive.

The energy sector was the worst performing sector for the year as oil prices declined 25%. Even though the Fund’s energy holdings were down for the year, the Fund was underweight energy and performed in line with the benchmark.

Outlook

Global synchronized growth peaked earlier this year, and it is imperative that US economic growth pull the rest of the world forward if further market appreciation is to be expected. With declining dollar liquidity, rising margin pressures, and elevated earnings growth expectations, we expect market volatility to remain elevated until there is either a reacceleration in global growth or a pause in Federal Reserve interest rate increases.

Despite strong economic growth in the US, the Fed’s monetary policy normalization is starting to affect certain sectors of the economy. Housing activity and home price appreciation are beginning to slow from the significant increase in mortgage rates over the last year. Housing is typically one of the first sectors to feel the effects of rising interest rates and typically leads a broader economic slowdown by approximately 12 to 18 months.

At this late stage in the economic cycle, the two primary threats to sustained economic growth and rising equity markets are further monetary policy normalization by global central banks and sustained pressure on global supply chains from trade tariffs. For US equity markets to remain attractive, it is critical for the Federal Reserve to allow enough time for capital markets to adjust to higher interest rates and declining liquidity before continuing with monetary policy normalization.

Our outlook remains balanced, stock-specific, and not reflective of opportunities in specific industries, regions of the world, or broader market indices.

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, Class Y shares of Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund returned -15.85% at net asset value. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap^® Value Index, which returned -12.29%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Fund underperformed the benchmark for the year due primarily to stock selection in the industrials, materials, energy, financials, and consumer discretionary sectors. Also, the Fund was underweight REITs, which negatively affected relative performance since REITs

outperformed the market. Stock selection in the technology, healthcare, and utilities sectors contributed the most to relative returns. The Fund was materially overweight technology stocks during the year, which was a positive since technology was one of the best performing sectors for the year.

Stock selection within the industrials sector detracted the most from relative performance. Masonite, a manufacturer of doors for residential and non-residential markets, suffered as housing-related stocks declined due to rising interest rates slowing the demand for new homes. Willscot, a provider of modular workspace and storage solutions, declined due to concerns about an economic slowdown and the company’s higher leverage profile. Given the company’s solid execution, high revenue visibility, and solid free cash flow, we believe the selloff is overdone.

The Fund was materially underweight REITs during the year. This contributed positively to performance through the third quarter, as REITs underperformed the market as interest rates increased. However, as the market sold off in the fourth quarter, REITs performed relatively well in the risk-off environment and finished the year outperforming the benchmark by a wide margin. The Fund’s underweight to REITs was one of the primary detractors for the year.

Materials performed poorly for the year as US dollar strength, trade tariffs, and slowing global growth negatively affected the sector. Crown Holdings and Constellium detracted the most from performance. Packaging company Crown Holdings declined as investors feared that the acquisition of Signode made the company more cyclical and that the higher leverage from the deal would affect profitability as interest rates increased. Constellium, a specialty aluminum manufacturer, declined in the fourth quarter selloff as investors priced in a slower growth environment and sold companies with higher leverage ratios.

Energy was the worst performing sector in the benchmark for the year as oil prices declined 25%. As a result, the Fund’s oil and gas holdings performed poorly, with QEP Resources and Forum Energy Technologies detracting the most from results.

Consumer discretionary lagged the market most of the year and was one of the weakest sectors in the fourth quarter selloff. Mohawk Industries and Aramark were the sector’s worst performers. Mohawk Industries, a residential and commercial carpet provider, was affected by the slowdown in housing due to rising interest rates. Aramark, a provider of food and facilities services, fell after the company lowered organic growth guidance for 2019 and as investors feared margin compression due to rising interest rates and wage inflation.

Financials also lagged the market as the yield curve flattened, loan growth slowed, and investors began pricing in higher credit costs. Chemical Financial, a Michigan-based regional bank, was not spared and declined after reporting weaker net interest income and slower loan growth. Mr. Cooper, a residential mortgage servicer, declined due to the slowdown in housing affecting investors’ growth expectations for its businesses.

Information technology was one of the best relatively performing sectors in the benchmark for the year, despite it having a negative return. The Fund was materially overweight the

sector, which was a positive contributor to relative returns. RingCentral, a provider of comprehensive communications solutions, benefited from the secular trends of cloud, mobile, and remote office locations that are increasingly pushing businesses toward SaaS communication providers. Fidelity Information Services, provider of core processing services for financial institutions, also performed well for the year. The company continues to benefit from regional and community banks modernizing their IT infrastructure for regulatory and competitive reasons.

The healthcare sector also performed relatively well for the year. Even though the benchmark’s healthcare sector was down low double digits for the year, the Fund’s return in healthcare was positive. Centene and IQVIA Holdings were the top performers. Centene, a managed care company, benefited from winning new business in Washington, Florida, and Kansas, and it also closed the acquisition of Fidelis Care. IQVIA, a contract research organization, continues to benefit from the QuintilesIMS merger synergies and from strong bookings growth in its Next-Gen platform. The company is also aggressively buying back shares.

Utilities was the strongest sector in the benchmark for the year, massively outperforming in the fourth quarter market selloff. The Fund’s utilities holdings performed well including Ameren, an electric and gas provider in Illinois and Missouri, and Eversource, a Boston-based electric and gas utility. Both benefited from strong base rate growth and an improved regulatory environment.

Outlook

Global synchronized growth peaked earlier this year, and it is imperative that US economic growth pull the rest of the world forward if further market appreciation is to be expected. With declining dollar liquidity, rising margin pressures, and elevated earnings growth expectations, we expect market volatility to remain elevated until there is either a reacceleration in global growth or a pause in Federal Reserve interest rate increases.

Despite strong economic growth in the US, the Fed’s monetary policy normalization is starting to affect certain sectors of the economy. Housing activity and home price appreciation are beginning to slow from the significant increase in mortgage rates over the last year. Housing is typically one of the first sectors to feel the effects of rising interest rates and typically leads a broader economic slowdown by approximately 12 to 18 months.

At this late stage in the economic cycle, the two primary threats to sustained economic growth and rising equity markets are further monetary policy normalization by global central banks and sustained pressure on global supply chains from trade tariffs. For US equity markets to remain attractive, it is critical for the Federal Reserve to allow enough time for capital markets to adjust to higher interest rates and declining liquidity before continuing with monetary policy normalization.

Our outlook remains balanced, stock-specific, and not reflective of opportunities in specific industries, regions of the world, or broader market indices.

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of, and not necessarily indicative of, future results. Total return and value will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For most recent month-end performance, visit im.natixis.com/performance. Performance for other share classes will be greater or less than shown based on differences in fees and sales charges. You may not invest directly in an index. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. The table(s) do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares.

1 Performance for Class C shares assumes a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase.

2 Russell Midcap^® Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the mid-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell Midcap^® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

3 Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

4 Expense ratios are as shown in the Fund’s prospectus in effect as of the date of this report. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report under Ratios to Average Net Assets. Net expenses reflect contractual expense caps set to expire on 4/30/19. When a Fund’s expenses are below the cap, gross and net expense ratios will be the same. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for more information about the Fund’s expense caps.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the Funds’ prospectus. The following examples 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 July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. 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 for your class.

The second line in the table for 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. 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 funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

1.  Organization.  Natixis Funds Trust I and Natixis Funds Trust 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 (the “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 Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

Natixis Funds Trust I:

Natixis Oakmark International Fund

Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”)

Natixis Funds Trust II:

McDonnell Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the “Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund”)

Natixis Oakmark Fund

Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund (the “Value Opportunity Fund”)

Each Fund is a diversified investment company.

Each Fund offers Class A shares, Class C shares and Class Y shares. Natixis Oakmark Fund, Natixis Oakmark International Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Value Opportunity Fund also offer Class N shares.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Small Cap Value Fund was closed to new investors. The Fund, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor in another Vaughan Nelson-managed fund or product that follows the same investment strategy as the Fund to transfer assets from that fund or product into the Fund.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% for Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and 5.75% for Natixis Oakmark Fund, Natixis Oakmark International Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Value Opportunity Fund. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for ten years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares) and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. Class Y shares are offered with an initial minimum investment of $100,000. Certain categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amounts for Class N and Class Y as outlined in the relevant Fund’s prospectus.

Most expenses 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 Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV and

85  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”) and Natixis ETF Trust. Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to the class (such as the Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A and Class C) and transfer agent fees for each Fund are borne collectively for Class A, Class C and Class Y and individually for Class N. 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 distributions 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 follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and 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 subsequent to year-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Fund securities and other investments are valued at market value based on market quotations obtained or determined by independent pricing services recommended by the adviser or subadviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser or subadviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, as described below. Market value is determined as follows:

Listed equity securities (including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds) are valued at the last sale price quoted on the exchange where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. 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 an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Unlisted equity securities (except unlisted preferred equity securities) are valued at the last sale price quoted in the market where they are traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. If there is no last sale price or closing bid quotation available, unlisted equity securities will be valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close

|  86

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities are valued based on evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used to value debt and unlisted equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated rates determined based on information provided by an independent pricing service.

Fund securities and other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also value securities and other investments at fair value in other circumstances such as when extraordinary events occur after the close of a foreign market but prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. This may include situations relating to a single issuer (such as a declaration of bankruptcy or a delisting of the issuer’s security from the primary market on which it has traded) as well as events affecting the securities markets in general (such as market disruptions or closings and significant fluctuations in U.S. and/or foreign markets). When fair valuing its securities or other investments, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities or other market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security, and fair values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same securities. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities held by the Fund.

As of December 31, 2018, securities held by Natixis Oakmark International Fund were fair valued as follows:

Equity securities1	Percentage of Net Assets
$625,404,554		91.2	%

¹ Certain foreign equity securities were fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily NAV calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income (including income reinvested) and foreign withholding tax, if applicable, is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign

87  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends reinvested are reflected as non-cash dividends on the Statements of Operations. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium, if applicable. 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. 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 values 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 into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, changes in exchange rates 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, as of the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses and the net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For federal income tax purposes, net realized foreign exchange gains or losses are characterized as ordinary income, and may, if the Funds have net losses, reduce the amount of income available to be distributed by the Funds.

The values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period for financial reporting purposes. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments reported in the Statements of Operations reflect gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates and fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities.

|  88

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

The Funds 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.  Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts, to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to 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 a 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. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. 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. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Fund’s or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.

e.  New Disclosure Requirements.  In accordance with new reporting requirements pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, presentation of certain amounts on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been conformed to the new disclosure requirements. Where the prior disclosure of Distributions to Shareholders separately stated distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gains for each share class of the Fund, they are now combined into a single line item for each respective share class. In addition, disclosure of Undistributed Net Investment Income and Distributions in Excess of Net Investment Income, where applicable, has been removed from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The following is a summary of the previously disclosed amounts, as reported at December 31, 2017:

f.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  The Trusts treat each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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 December 31, 2018 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years 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 withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes where reclaims have been or will be filed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable,

are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

g.  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 in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as taxable over-distribution, capital gains taxes, deferred Trustees’ fees, distribution redesignations and foreign currency gains and losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to capital accounts reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, forward foreign currency contract mark-to-market and return of capital distributions received. Amounts of income and capital gain available to be distributed on a tax basis are determined annually, and at other times during the Funds’ fiscal year as may be necessary to avoid knowingly declaring and paying a return of capital distribution. Distributions from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains are reported as 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 December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

	2018 Distributions Paid From:
Fund	Ordinary Income		Tax Exempt Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund	$	5,716	$	662,720	$	—	$	668,436
Natixis Oakmark Fund		2,211,730		—		25,432,306		27,644,036
Natixis Oakmark International Fund		16,730,811		—		14,047,101		30,777,912
Small Cap Value Fund		6,205,741		—		27,906,818		34,112,559
Value Opportunity Fund		6,805,023		—		53,866,158		60,671,181

Fund	Ordinary Income		Tax Exempt Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund	$	5,473	$	909,414	$	—	$	914,887
Natixis Oakmark Fund		1,117,535		—		11,807,017		12,924,552

Small Cap Value Fund		3,400,416		—		31,501,924		34,902,340
Value Opportunity Fund		10,294,310		—		16,440,298		26,734,608

For the year ended December 31, 2017, differences between these amounts and amounts disclosed in Note 2e of the Notes to Financial Statements are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are consolidated and reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains expressed in per-share amounts, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are separately stated and reported within the Financial Highlights.

As of December 31, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund		Natixis Oakmark Fund		Natixis Oakmark International Fund		Small Cap Value Fund		Value Opportunity Fund
Undistributed ordinary income	$	—	$	10,745	$	—	$	186,618	$	35,751

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the components of distributable earnings are primarily attributable to foreign currency mark-to-market.

h.  Repurchase Agreements.  Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, under which each Fund acquires securities as collateral and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an agreed upon price. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% 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. 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. As of December 31, 2018, each Fund, as applicable, had investments in repurchase agreements for which the value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

i.  Securities Lending.  Certain 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 may 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.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.

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

95  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

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.

k.  New Accounting Pronouncement.  In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities acquired at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities acquired at a discount, which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized 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.); and

• Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when 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 December 31, 2018, at value:

4.  Derivatives.  Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivative instruments that Natixis Oakmark International Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts.

The Fund is 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 Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Fund’s holdings of foreign securities. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

The following is a summary of derivative instruments for Natixis Oakmark International Fund as of December 31, 2018, as reflected within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

Assets	Unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency contracts
Over-the-counter asset derivatives
Foreign exchange contracts	$	491,200

Transactions in derivative instruments for Natixis Oakmark International Fund during the year ended December 31, 2018, as reflected within the Statements of Operations were as follows:

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on:	Forward foreign currency contracts
Foreign exchange contracts	$948,366
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on:	Forward foreign currency contracts
Foreign exchange contracts	$152,401

As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, it does not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.

The volume of forward foreign currency contract activity, as a percentage of net assets, for Natixis Oakmark International Fund, based on gross month-end notional amounts outstanding during the period, including long and short positions at absolute value, was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2018:

Natixis Oakmark International Fund	Forwards
Average Notional Amount Outstanding	2.06%
Highest Notional Amount Outstanding	3.81%
Lowest Notional Amount Outstanding	1.36%
Notional Amount Outstanding as of December 31, 2018	3.81%

Notional amounts outstanding at the end of the prior period are included in the average notional amount outstanding.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

Unrealized gain and/or loss on open forwards is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The aggregate notional values of forward contracts are not recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and therefore are not included in the Fund’s net assets.

The Fund enters into over-the-counter derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, pursuant to an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreement between the Fund and its counterparty. ISDA agreements typically contain master netting provisions in the event of a default or other termination event. Master netting provisions allow the Fund and the counterparty, in the event of a default or other termination event, to offset amounts owed by each related to derivative contracts to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

As of December 31, 2018, gross amounts of derivative assets and liabilities not offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the related net amounts after taking into account master netting arrangements, by counterparty, are as follows:

Natixis Oakmark International Fund

Counterparty	Gross Amounts of Assets		Offset Amount		Net Amount
State Street Bank and Trust Company	$	491,200	$	—	$	491,200

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads. Based on balances reflected on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following table shows (i) the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based on the gross fair value of the financial instrument, the Fund would incur if parties to the relevant financial instruments failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts and ii) the amount of loss that the Fund would incur after taking into account master netting provisions pursuant to ISDA agreements, as of December 31, 2018:

Fund	Maximum Amount of Loss - Gross		Maximum Amount of Loss - Net

Natixis Advisors, McDonnell, Harris and Vaughan Nelson are subsidiaries of Natixis Investment Managers, L.P. (“Natixis”), which is part of Natixis Investment Managers, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.

Under the terms of the subadvisory agreements, each Fund has agreed to pay its respective subadviser a subadvisory fee at the following annual rates, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:

		Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Fund	Subadviser	First $200 million			Next $1.3 billion			Over $1.5 billion

These undertakings are in effect until April 30, 2019, may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, and are reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings. Waivers/reimbursements that exceed management fees payable are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable from investment adviser.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreements were as follows:

Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, Natixis ETF Trust and Natixis Advisors, each Fund pays Natixis Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion, 0.0275% of the next $30 billion and 0.0225% of such assets in excess of $90 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

Prior to July 1, 2018, each Fund paid Natixis Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion, 0.0350% of the next $30 billion and 0.0325% of such assets in excess of $90 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust of $10 million, which was reevaluated on an annual basis.

December 31, 2018

waiver is in effect through June 30, 2019, at which time it will be reevaluated as part of the annual review of the administrative fee contract, as noted above.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the administrative fees for each Fund were as follows:

Fund	Administrative Fees		Waiver of Administrative Fees		Net Administrative Fees
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund	$	12,103	$	56	$	12,047

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.  Natixis Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse Natixis Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to Natixis Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations) for each Fund were as follows:

Fund	Sub-Transfer Agent Fees
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund	$	6,789
Natixis Oakmark Fund		150,152
Natixis Oakmark International Fund		944,593
Small Cap Value Fund		129,441
Value Opportunity Fund		784,427

Fund	Reimbursements of Sub-Transfer Agent Fees
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund	$	64
Natixis Oakmark Fund		1,590
Natixis Oakmark International Fund		10,117
Small Cap Value Fund		1,077
Value Opportunity Fund		6,076

Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Class A, Class C and Class Y 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 those classes.

e.   Commissions.   Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by Natixis Distribution during the year ended December 31, 2018, were as follows:

Natixis Oakmark Fund		38,553
Natixis Oakmark International Fund		334,659

f.  Trustees Fees and Expenses.  The Trusts do not pay any compensation directly to their officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of Natixis Advisors, Natixis Distribution, Natixis or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $340,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that he attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $170,000. 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, the chairperson of the Contract Review Committee and the chairperson of the Audit Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $20,000. The chairperson of the Governance Committee receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $12,000. Each Contract Review Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that

|  106

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust 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.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Chairperson of the Board will receive a retainer fee at the annual rate of $360,000, each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) will receive, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $190,000, and the chairperson of the Governance Committee will receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. All other Trustee fees will remain unchanged.

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 Natixis ETF Trust 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 Natixis ETF Trust, 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 in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Certain officers and employees of Natixis Advisors and affiliates are also officers and/or Trustees of the Trust.

g.  Affiliated Ownership.  As of December 31, 2018, Natixis US and affiliates held shares of Natixis Oakmark Fund and Small Cap Value Fund both representing less than 0.01% of the Funds’ net assets.

Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds.

h.  Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses.  Natixis Advisors has given a binding contractual undertaking to Natixis Oakmark Fund, Natixis Oakmark International Fund and Small Cap Value Fund to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for the Funds’ Class N shares. This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2019 and is not subject to recovery under the expense limitation agreement described above.

8.  Line of Credit.  Effective April 12, 2018, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trust, entered into a $400,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Any one Fund may borrow up to $350,000,000 under the line of credit agreement (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate do not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations

|  108

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2018

under the line of credit. Interest is charged to the Funds based upon the terms set forth in the agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% 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. The Funds paid an arrangement fee, an upfront fee, and other fees in connection with the new line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected as miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Prior to April 12, 2018, each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, entered into a 364-day, $400,000,000 syndicated, committed, unsecured line of credit with Citibank, N.A. to be used for temporary or emergency purposes only. Any one Fund was able borrow up to the full $400,000,000 under the line of credit (as long as all borrowings by all Funds in the aggregate did not exceed the $400,000,000 limit at any time), subject to each Fund’s investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit. Interest was charged to the Funds at a rate equal to the greater of the eurodollar or the federal funds rate plus 1.00%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum, payable on the last business day of each month, was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, Value Opportunity Fund had an average daily balance on the line of credit (for those days on which there were borrowings) of $18,871,478 at a weighted average interest rate of 4.24%. Interest expense incurred (which is reflected in miscellaneous expenses in the Statements of Operations) was $8,815.

9.  Concentration of Risk.  The Natixis Oakmark International Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.

10.  Concentration of Ownership.  From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Funds. As of December 31, 2018, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Funds’ total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings were as follows:

Fund	Number of 5% Account Holders		Percentage of Ownership
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund		4		29.25	%
Value Opportunity Fund		1		29.60	%

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which Natixis Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts or investment models where a shareholder account may be invested for a non-discretionary customer are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Funds do not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying the omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Natixis Funds Trust I and Natixis Funds Trust II and Shareholders of Natixis Oakmark International Fund, Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund, McDonnell Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Natixis Oakmark Fund, and Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Natixis Oakmark International Fund and Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund (two of the funds constituting the Natixis Funds Trust I), and McDonnell Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Natixis Oakmark Fund, and Vaughan Nelson Value Opportunity Fund (three of the funds constituting the Natixis Funds Trust II) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant

estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Person’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Person’s, or a member of the Covered Person’s family or household, receives improper personal benefits as a result of the Covered Person’s position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Persons and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (including the regulations thereunder, the “1940 Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (including the regulations thereunder, the “Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Persons may not engage in certain transactions with the Fund because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Fund. The Funds and their investment advisers; subadvisers; distributors and administrators (each a “Service Provider” and, collectively, the “Service Providers”) compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code. See also Section V of this code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Funds and their Service Providers of which the Covered Persons are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Persons will, in the normal course of their duties (whether for the Funds or for a Service Provider, or for each), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Service Providers and the Funds. The participation of the Covered Persons in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationships between the Funds and their Service Providers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Persons of their duties as officers of the Funds. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds’ Boards of Trustees (“Boards”) that the Covered Persons may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes and that such service, by itself, does not give rise to a conflict of interest.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not the subject of provisions of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Persons should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Person should not be placed improperly before the interest of a Fund.

-2-

Each Covered Person must not:

• use his/her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Covered Person would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;

• cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Person rather than the benefit the Fund; or

• retaliate against any other Covered Person or any employee of the Funds or their Service Providers for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be approved by the Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”) of the Fund (or, with respect to activities of the CLO if he/she is a Covered Person, by the President ). These conflict of interest situations are listed below:

• service on the board of directors or governing board of a publicly traded entity;

• acceptance of any investment opportunity, gift, gratuity or other thing of more than nominal value from any person or entity that does business, or desires to do business, with the Fund. This restriction shall not apply to (i) gifts from a single giver so long as their aggregate annual value does not exceed the equivalent of $100 or (ii) attending business meals, business related conferences, sporting events and other entertainment events at the expense of a giver, so long as the expense is reasonable;

• any ownership interest in, or any consulting relationship with, any entities doing business with a Fund, other than a Service Provider or an affiliate of a Service Provider. This restriction shall not apply to or otherwise limit the ownership of publicly traded securities so long as the Covered Person’s ownership does not exceed more than 2% of the outstanding securities of the relevant class; and

• a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Person’s employment with a Service Provider or its affiliate. This restriction shall not apply to or otherwise limit (i) the ownership of publicly traded securities so long as the Covered Person’s ownership does not exceed more than 2% of the particular class of security outstanding or (ii) the receipt by the Service Provider of research or other benefits in exchange for “soft dollars”.

III. Disclosure and Compliance

• Each Covered Person should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to a Fund;

• Each Covered Person should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund’s Board and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

• Each Covered Person should, to the extent appropriate within his/her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and

• It is the responsibility of each Covered Person to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

IV. Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Person must:

• upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Person), affirm in writing to the Funds that he/she has received, read, and understands the Code;

• annually thereafter affirm to the Funds that he/she has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

• notify the CLO of the Funds promptly if he/she knows of any violation of this Code (with respect to violations by the CLO if he/she is a Covered Person, the Covered Person shall report to the President). Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The CLO of a Fund is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any approvals or waivers other than those this Code states can be granted by the CLO, sought by the CLO or Covered Person will be considered by the relevant Fund’s Audit Committee (the “Committee”).

The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

• the CLO will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported, which may include the use of internal or external counsel, accountants or other personnel;

-4-

• if, after such investigation, the CLO believes that no violation has occurred, the CLO is not required to take any further action;

• any matter that the CLO believes is a violation will be reported to the Committee;

• if the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board, which will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Person;

• the Committee will be authorized to grant waivers, as it deems appropriate; and

• any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

V. Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds or the Funds’ Service Providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Persons who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Funds and their Service Providers’ codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and the Service Providers’ more detailed compliance policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Persons and others, and are not part of this Code.

VI. Amendments

Any amendments to this Code with respect to a Fund, other than administrative amendments to Exhibits A and B, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Fund’s Board, including a majority of independent trustees.

VII. Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted by the Board.

-5-

VIII. Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
