Investment Goal

The Fund seeks high total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Market Conditions

The global fixed-income market produced solid gains to finish the fiscal year, continuing its recovery since the turmoil of late March, albeit at a slower pace compared to the second quarter. Investors appeared confident that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and other global central banks would keep interest rates low indefinitely in response to the growth slowdown caused by Covid-19. Most notably, the Fed formally adopted a new policy regime known as Flexible Average Inflation Targeting at this year’s Jackson Hole conference. Under this new approach, a 2% inflation rate is no longer the Fed’s implicit ceiling, but rather now clearly defined as its long-term average target. This shift implies that the Fed could keep interest rates low for an extended period even if inflation begins to tick up above the average inflation target. Together, these factors helped US Treasuries hold on to their gains from the first half of the year. The credit-sensitive segments of the market also performed well, as the combination of improving economic data and apparent progress toward a coronavirus vaccine helped support investors’ appetite for risk. However, the markets remained on edge as the period drew to a close, due to uncertainties surrounding the US elections, the continued spread of Covid-19, and the expected magnitude of the economic recovery in 2021.

US Treasuries posted narrow gains but finished with the weakest performance among the major bond market segments. Treasuries entered the quarter at historically low yields due to their significant rally earlier in the year. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) With little in the way of additional negative news to fuel a renewed “flight to quality,” Treasuries largely traded sideways in a tight range. As a result, the yield on the bellwether 10-year note finished the quarter little changed from the level at which it closed on June 30.

Investment-grade corporates performed well thanks to the combination of a benign rate environment and a persistent demand for yield. In addition, investors appeared confident that the Fed would continue to backstop the corporate bond market through direct purchases if necessary.

During the quarter, asset-backed securities (ABS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) outperformed Treasuries as securitized credit sectors continued to recover. Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) underperformed duration-matched

1  |

Treasuries for the period. Total returns for securitized assets were positive on the quarter as demand for yield drove spreads tighter.

High yield bonds outpaced investment-grade corporates in the quarter, as the generally favorable investment backdrop encouraged investors to take on higher risk in search of more attractive yields. Oil prices recovered from their April lows, which proved to be supportive for the many distressed energy issuers in the category.

Emerging market debt was one of the stronger performing major fixed-income categories in the quarter, partially due to weakness in the US dollar. The category’s outperformance occurred despite rising economic uncertainty in Brazil and a sharp decline in the Turkish lira. The strength in emerging market bonds in the face of these potential headwinds helps illustrate the extent of investors’ thirst for yield.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2020, Class Y shares of the Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund returned 8.87% at net asset value. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 6.98%.

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Fund’s overweight to US investment grade corporate bonds, paired with strong security selection within the sector, was the largest contributor to relative return over the 12-month period. An out-of-benchmark allocation to high yield corporate bonds also benefited performance relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s slightly above-benchmark stance with respect to duration (and corresponding sensitivity to changes in interest rates) generated excess returns as Treasury yields declined over the period. Finally, allocations to and selection within securitized agency sectors, most notably pass-through MBS, boosted return over the period. On the downside, security selection within non-securitized US agency issues hindered relative performance for the 12-month period. The Fund’s allocation to floating rate bank loans acted as a constraint on performance, and an underweight to US Treasuries also weighed on relative performance as Treasury yields declined notably over the period.

Outlook

We expect the Federal Reserve’s fed funds rate to remain unchanged at the zero lower bound and the front end of the Treasury yield curve to remain anchored for the foreseeable future. We do not anticipate the Fed bringing rates into negative territory on the view that negative policy rates are broadly disruptive to a nation’s financial system. We believe US Treasury yields will trade in a fairly tight range through the US presidential election date, but may respond more acutely in the days following depending on the result and whether the result is contested. Once the results are determined, however, we see more potential for yields to rise as we move through 2021. In particular, improving prospects for a vaccine rollout could be a catalyst for rising intermediate and longer maturity Treasury yields, while the front end remains anchored. With the demand side of the equation improving, we believe there will likely be pockets of inflation as supply remains disrupted and we continue to see ultra-accommodative monetary policy and ample fiscal support.

LOOMIS SAYLES CORE PLUS BOND FUND

Our base case expectation is that we are in the credit repair phase of the credit cycle¹ and are starting to push towards recovery in some segments of the US economy. Credit sector valuations have trended toward levels observed prior to the first quarter of 2020, but still present a potential opportunity to obtain an attractive yield advantage over duration-matched government bonds. We believe corporate credit spreads may continue to tighten, albeit much more gradually than what we saw in the second quarter. Despite the weakened fundamental picture in the post-Covid environment, we believe corporate credit remains supported by a strong technical backdrop headlined by committed central bank support and strong investor demand for incremental yield.

We are favoring sectors offering higher yield potential than Treasuries and remain underweight in government bonds given the low yield environment. In particular, investment grade and high yield corporate credit risk was dramatically increased at significantly cheaper levels during the peak of the Covid-induced selloff in risk assets. However, as valuations move closer to what we consider to be “fair value,” we have become more selective in adding to these exposures, and have started to cull those industries and issuers that we believe now offer less incremental value. We continue to participate in attractive new issues and may also look for swap opportunities along an individual issuer’s credit curve.

Currently, our overall portfolio credit quality is A1 with half of the portfolio remaining in AAA issues. Holdings in nominal Treasuries continue to be underweight on both a market value and contribution-to-duration basis (duration is a measure of sensitivity to changes in interest rates). Within securitized assets, we continue to be underweight in agency mortgage-backed securities, marginally overweight to agency commercial mortgage-backed securities, and continue to maintain an overweight to high-quality asset-backed securities. With respect to investment grade corporate credit, we have moved from a pre-Covid underweight position to an overweight position.

We continue to favor long Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) as an alternative to long nominal Treasuries. We presently have an approximately 2% market value allocation to long TIPS, which is down significantly from earlier this year, but still accounts for about 10% of our total duration contribution. We continue to consider our TIPS position to be a potentially valuable hedge against an eventual abatement in virus contagion fears and as inflation expectations trend back towards more normal levels.

In addition to TIPS, we currently have about a 6.5% allocation to fixed rate high yield corporate bonds, as well as a 2%–3% market weight target to floating rate bank loans. We continue to favor higher quality, shorter duration fixed rate high yield and secured higher quality bank loans as a potential source of front-end yield. This exposure is up meaningfully versus levels just prior to the downturn.

Our portfolio duration (which reflects price sensitivity to changes in interest rate expectations) is approximately 0.70 years longer than the benchmark on a nominal basis. However, our empirical duration is running 0.80 years shorter than the benchmark, largely due to our TIPS, high yield corporate and investment grade corporate exposures. Our overall shorter empirical duration will continue to be our bias with higher rates in the

3  |

future likely in a post-Covid environment in which vaccines are widely available. However, we are maintaining some long end nominal rate exposure, as well as real rate exposure, which we believe could provide protection should we enter a period of greater uncertainty.

Our non-US dollar exposure is approximately 1.8% of total market value, composed primarily of the Mexican peso and a small allocation to the Uruguayan peso. Our focus has been on more pro-cyclical economies and foreign currencies tied to trade with the US, where we can also seek a potential yield advantage versus what is available in the US dollar market.

During periods in which the US dollar appreciates relative to foreign currencies, funds that hold non-US-dollar-denominated bonds may realize currency losses in connection with the maturity or sale of certain bonds. These losses impact a fund’s ordinary income distributions (to the extent that losses are not offset by realized currency gains within the fund’s fiscal year). A recognized currency loss, in accordance with federal tax rules, decreases the amount of ordinary income a fund has available to distribute, even though these bonds continue to generate coupon income.

Fund officers have analyzed the fund’s current portfolio of investments, realized currency gains and losses, schedule of maturities, and the corresponding amounts of unrealized currency losses that may become realized during the current fiscal year. This analysis is performed regularly to determine how realized currency losses will impact periodic ordinary income distributions for the fund. Based on the most recent quarterly analysis (as of September 30, 2020), fund officers believe that realized currency losses will have an impact on the distributions in the 2021 fiscal year. This analysis is based on certain assumptions including, but not limited to, the level of foreign currency exchange rates, security prices, interest rates, the Fund adviser’s ability to manage realized currency losses, and the net asset level of the fund. Changes to these assumptions could materially impact the analysis and the amounts of future fund distributions. Fund officers will continue to monitor these amounts on a regular basis and take the necessary actions required to manage the fund’s distributions to address realized currency losses while seeking to avoid a return of capital distribution.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.

Market Conditions

Financial markets experienced significant volatility in the past year, as investors grappled with the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19. The bulk of the market disruptions occurred in February and March, when world governments first aimed to contain the virus by locking down broad swaths of their economies. Higher-risk assets were hit hard in the ensuing selloff, while demand for lower-risk investments surged.

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) sought to counter the extraordinary developments by cutting the Fed Funds rate to zero and reinstituting quantitative easing through the purchases of US Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. The Fed revived lending facilities last used in 2008, such as the TALF (Term Asset-Backed Loan Facility), which is a funding backstop for the asset-backed securities market. The central bank also established facilities never used before, such as the Corporate Credit Facilities, which allowed the Fed to purchase corporate bond assets for the first time in its history. In conjunction with a $2.2 trillion stimulus package passed by the US Congress, the Fed’s response fueled an impressive recovery in higher-risk assets from late-March onward.

Global equity markets plunged in mid-February, as the coronavirus began to spread throughout the United States and Europe. Resulting uncertainty regarding the trajectory of economic growth and corporate earnings fueled largely indiscriminate selling across global equity markets in early spring. The downturn abated in late summer as lockdown restrictions were lifted and consumer confidence began to rise.

The ensuing rally allowed most major equity indices to close the period in positive territory, but returns among sectors were highly disparate. Gains were primarily driven by strength in mega-cap US technology stocks, leading to a wide performance advantage for the growth style over value, and for large-cap over small-cap.

In fixed income, investment-grade corporates were notable beneficiaries of rising risk appetite and investors’ demand for high-quality alternatives to low-yielding government debt. Despite their downturn in the February-March selloff, corporates outperformed the broader fixed-income market for the full 12-month period.

7  |

High-yield corporate bonds also delivered positive returns. The category was supported by hopes for an economic recovery, reduced investor risk aversion and general support from fiscal and monetary policy. However, high-yield issues trailed investment-grade securities. Lower-quality debt was generally harder hit in the downturn due to lower market liquidity and the effect of falling oil prices, weighing on return for the full period.

The uncertain environment worked to the benefit of US Treasuries due to their status as a relative “safe haven.” Longer duration (and thus more interest rate sensitive) bonds delivered particularly robust gains. The yield on the 10-year note fell to an all-time low in March and remained close to that level thereafter on expectations that the Fed would pursue its low-rate policy indefinitely. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.)

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2020 Class Y shares of the Loomis Sayles Global Allocation Fund returned 13.70% at net asset value. The Fund outperformed its primary index, the MSCI All Country World Index (Net), which returned 10.44%. The Fund outperformed its secondary blended benchmark, the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (Net)/40% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, which returned 9.26%.

Explanation of Performance

In equities, the largest contributors to return were Amazon, Alibaba, and Danaher. Shares of Amazon outperformed as the Covid-19 pandemic brought in-person shopping to a virtual standstill in many geographies, driving an increase in e-commerce penetration from both existing users as well as new users. We believe e-commerce penetration will remain at these levels as economies re-open, from its superior shopping experience and the closure of some brick and mortar retail stores. We also believe the current environment will advance the cloud adoption curve, with companies moving increasing amounts of data to the cloud to facilitate a remote work environment.

Shares of Alibaba, a Chinese e-commerce company, have outperformed as the pandemic has accelerated adoption of e-commerce, mobile shopping, and payments globally. In China, Alibaba has seen a growth in its user base as well as product categories. Additionally, the announcement of the Ant Group (formerly Ant Financial) initial public offering will likely provide increased visibility into the company’s payment business and how it interacts with Alibaba’s platforms.

Shares of Danaher, a healthcare technology company, outperformed over the period. The company has transformed from a conglomerate focused on cyclical end markets to a life sciences industry leader focusing on high-growth markets with recurring revenue characteristics. A recent example is Cytiva, the life science business which Danaher purchased from General Electric. Danaher is also playing an important part in the global pandemic effort as technologies from its Cytiva and Pall subsidiaries are being used in human trials as part of Covid-19 vaccine efforts.

In fixed income, corporate credit allocation was a positive source of relative return during the period. Particularly helpful to performance were overweight allocations to the

|  8

LOOMIS SAYLES GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND

insurance, capital goods, and communications sectors. The fiscal support and backstops from leading central banks and attractiveness of corporate yields benefited the asset class.

Allocations to the crossover space (corporate bonds with ratings straddling the investment grade and high yield categories) also contributed to relative performance. In particular, BBB and BB holdings aided results as they generally outpaced higher-grade names. Industries that were beaten down in March and April, such as oil, automotive and home construction, recovered and outperformed higher quality bonds. Optimism surrounding a Covid vaccine, the phased re-opening of economies, and the ongoing fiscal and monetary support buoyed risk appetite.

With respect to interest rate positioning, the Fund’s large allocation to the US dollar fixed income market, where starting yields were globally competitive and yields declined considerably over the period, contributed to performance.

In equities, the largest detractors from performance were Marriott, M&T Bank, and CBRE. Shares of Marriott International, a global hotelier, underperformed as the Covid-19 pandemic caused a steep drop in demand. We eliminated our position as the pandemic made it difficult to quantify the downside, particularly as the fall in demand was unprecedented.

M&T Bank is a New York-based regional bank, focusing on small and mid-size business customers. US bank shares have generally been weak on concerns that sustained low interest rates will put pressure on revenue and economic weakness will impact loan quality. M&T Bank has been especially hard-hit due to its exposure to New York City commercial real estate, which accounts for about 10% of its loan book. While M&T’s New York commercial real estate exposure is higher than competitors, we are confident that the exposure is manageable given M&T’s strong loan underwriting experience, as well as the high level of collateral that it holds on these loans. We have a high degree of conviction in M&T’s quality and medium-term growth prospects.

Shares of CBRE, a global real estate services firm, underperformed. We eliminated our position as we believe the pandemic will likely result in structural changes in commercial real estate use, as a greater proportion of employees continue to work remotely in a post-pandemic world. This shift would likely reduce real estate demand, particularly in central business districts, resulting in sharper and longer-lasting falls in office rents and prices than in a typical recession. The pandemic is also accelerating the decline in mall and street-based retail real estate demand. Given the uncertainty in medium-term demand for CBRE’s services, our conviction in the holding declined and we decided to sell the stock.

In fixed income, select emerging market currencies had a negative impact. In particular, bonds denominated in the Brazilian real weighed on performance due to a deteriorating economic outlook as well as a surge in coronavirus cases in the country. Bonds denominated in the Turkish lira and the Chilean peso also detracted as these currencies depreciated over the period versus the dollar.

9  |

Exposure to US retail issuers also weighed on performance given general weakness in the sector on the back of coronavirus-related shutdowns, supply chain disruptions, and declining traffic numbers.

Select positions within high yield corporate bonds detracted. Global demand for oil has tapered in major growth regions such as India and China while stagnating in the US.

Currency and yield curve markets experienced slightly higher levels of volatility in the period and this resulted in derivatives driving a higher than typical level of total return. Although in line with the returns posted by the underlying cash bond markets, the fund’s use of forward and duration positions in managing relative exposures increased the derivative contributions to total return.

Outlook

The shape of the economic recovery depends on the trajectory of Covid-19, much of which will be determined by progress toward an effective antiviral therapy, a successful vaccine, and/or widely accessible and accurate testing capabilities. While progress has indeed been made in all of these areas, outcomes are still challenging to predict with certainty. A recovery is also reliant on the scope of continued fiscal and monetary support, as well as other relief packages, in the US and globally. Thus, our focus remains on investing in companies we believe have the ability to successfully navigate the crisis and generate value over the longer-term.

In equities, some of our holdings have been beneficiaries of the disruption, notably e-commerce companies, those with cloud offerings, and an online connected fitness company. For these businesses, the pandemic has accelerated demand. Many of our companies have leveraged this period of disruption to reduce costs. Some have increased use of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies to perform virtual sales and service visits. Many companies are reducing (or assessing) their real estate footprints; we anticipate an increased percentage of the work force will be working-from-home for an extended period of time. Across the portfolio, companies are opportunistically shoring up their balance sheets to ready themselves for a longer period of uncertainty, and in some cases positioning themselves for potential attractive opportunities.

Volatility has created attractive entry points for a number of new holdings in various industries. Over the 12 months we have added a diverse group of technology names spanning digital payments, cloud storage and collaboration, and semiconductor equipment. We have selectively initiated positions in consumer-related names, focusing on best-in-class retailers with compelling value propositions and the growing online fitness industry. We continue to have no direct exposure to the energy or utilities sectors as we typically (and certainly currently) do not find many opportunities which meet our three performance drivers.

As uncertainty around the pandemic persists, global equities could be impacted further. There is also the potential for heightened volatility in the fourth quarter with the US presidential elections in November. However, we believe our equity securities have sustainable competitive advantages and strong balance sheets which will prove resilient. This is evidenced by the portfolio’s average return on equity, which is meaningfully higher

|  10

LOOMIS SAYLES GLOBAL ALLOCATION FUND

than the MSCI ACWI benchmark, and financial leverage which is significantly less than the benchmark by our measures . This should allow most of our holdings the flexibility to weather challenging environments, and quite possibly emerge stronger.

In fixed income, we see opportunity for credit spreads to tighten further, albeit at a more gradual pace than we saw in the second quarter of 2020. Corporate credit offers an attractive yield advantage and our base case is that we are in the credit repair phase of the credit cycle. The credit repair phase is typically characterized by companies fortifying their balance sheets, reducing leverage, and cutting costs. Despite the weakening fundamental picture, corporate credit remains supported by a strong technical backdrop headlined by committed central bank support.

We expect US Treasury yields to trade in a fairly tight range through the US presidential election and into year end. We see more potential for yields to rise as we move into 2021, especially in the intermediate and long portions of the yield curve (which depicts the relationship among bond yields across the maturity spectrum). Rising prospects for a vaccine rollout could be a catalyst for yields to rise, especially for longer maturities given our view that the Fed will maintain very low short rates for the foreseeable future.

The probability of a multi-year weak dollar regime is rising as we head through the credit repair phase of the cycle. We expect that the US output gap will remain large for another year, reinforcing the Fed’s commitment to keeping rates lower for longer. Against this backdrop, there is also the possibility that European macroeconomic indicators normalize more quickly, which would reinforce the probability of a more sustained period of dollar weakness.

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 Fund’s prospectuses. 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 of each class of Fund shares shows the actual account values and actual fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020. 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 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table of each class of Fund shares provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund to 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 the fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING

ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Board of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Board”), including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on each Fund’s advisory agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) at most of its meetings throughout the year. Each year, usually in the spring, the Contract Review Committee of the Board meets to review the Agreements to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements, typically for an additional one-year period. After the Contract Review Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements.

In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Funds’ investment adviser and Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund’s advisory administrator (the “Advisers”) believes to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreements. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Funds and the performance of peer groups of funds and the Funds’ performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Funds’ advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the Funds’ advisory fees to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Advisers, if any, and to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and/or fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Funds, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreements to the Advisers and (v) information obtained through the completion by the Advisers of a questionnaire distributed on behalf of the Trustees. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considers other matters such as (i) each Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Advisers’ investment staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (ii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Funds’ shares and the related costs, (iii) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including, to the extent applicable, the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research and other similar services, (iv) the Advisers’ policies and procedures relating to, among other things, compliance, trading and best execution, proxy voting and valuation, (v) information about amounts invested by the Funds’ portfolio managers in the Funds or in similar accounts that they manage and (vi) the general economic outlook with particular emphasis on the mutual fund industry. Throughout the process, the Trustees are afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Advisers.

In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their annual consideration of the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board that provide detailed information about the Funds’ investment performance and the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for each Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing each Fund’s performance and expense differentials against each Fund’s peer group/category, performance ratings provided by a third-party, total return information for various periods, and third-party performance rankings for various periods comparing a Fund against similarly categorized funds. The portfolio management team for each Fund or other

17  |

representatives of the Advisers make periodic presentations to the Contract Review Committee and/or the full Board, and Funds identified as presenting possible performance concerns may be subject to more frequent Board or Committee presentations and reviews. In addition, each quarter the Trustees are provided with detailed statistical information about each Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings. These updates have increased in frequency during the Covid-19 crisis.

The Board most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements for a one-year period at its meeting held in June 2020. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisers and their affiliates to the Funds and the resources dedicated to the Funds by the Advisers and their affiliates.

The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Advisers to the Funds, but also the monitoring and oversight services provided by Natixis Advisors, L.P. (“Natixis Advisors”). They also considered the administrative and shareholder services provided by Natixis Advisors and its affiliates to the Funds. They also took into consideration increases in the services provided resulting from new regulatory requirements.

For each Fund, the Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is part of a family of funds that offers shareholders the right to exchange shares of one type of fund for shares of another type of fund, and provides a variety of fund and shareholder services.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Investment performance of the Funds and the Advisers. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Funds over various time periods, including information that compared the performance of the Funds to the performance of peer groups and categories of funds and the Funds’ respective performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees reviewed data prepared by an independent third party that analyzed the performance of the Funds using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics that measured the performance of the Funds on a risk adjusted basis.

|  18

The Board noted that, through December 31, 2019, each Fund’s one-, three- and five-year performance stated as percentile rankings within categories selected by the independent third-party data provider was as follows (where the best performance would be in the first percentile of its category):

	One-Year			Three-Year			Five-Year
Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund		64	%		42	%		52	%
Loomis Sayles Global Allocation Fund		6	%		1	%		1	%

In the case of a Fund that had performance that lagged that of a relevant category median as determined by the independent third party for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to performance supported renewal of the Agreements. These factors included: (1) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Advisers that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies and (2) that the Fund’s more recent performance has been stronger relative to its category. The Board also considered information about the Funds’ more recent performance, including how that performance had been impacted by the Covid-19 crisis.

The Trustees also considered the Advisers’ performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally, and the historical responsiveness of the Advisers to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Advisers to take steps intended to improve performance.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the performance of the Funds and the Advisers and/or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreements.

The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their respective relationships with the Funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory and administrative services as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and by an independent third party) of the Funds’ advisory fees and total expense levels to those of their peer groups and information about the advisory fees charged by the Advisers to comparable accounts (such as institutional separate accounts), as well as information about differences in such fees and the reasons for any such differences. In considering the fees charged to comparable accounts, the Trustees considered, among other things, management’s representations about the differences between managing mutual funds as compared to other types of accounts, including the additional resources required to effectively manage mutual fund assets, the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of such assets, and the entrepreneurial, regulatory and other risks associated with sponsoring and managing mutual funds. In evaluating each Fund’s advisory fee, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of such Fund, as well as the need for the Advisers to offer competitive compensation and the potential need to expend additional resources to the extent the Fund grows in size. The Trustees considered that over the past several years, management had made recommendations regarding reductions in advisory fee rates, implementation of

19  |

advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps for various funds in the fund family. They noted that the Funds have expense caps in place, and that the current expenses were below their caps. They also considered the material terms of the Fund’s expense cap agreement. They further noted that management had proposed to reduce the expense cap for Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund on all share classes, effective as of July 1, 2020. The Trustees also noted that the total advisory fee rate for each Fund was at the median of its peer group of funds.

The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Advisers’ and their affiliates’ relationships with the Funds, and information about how expenses are determined and allocated for purposes of profitability calculations. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability, including information regarding resources spent on distribution activities. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered information about court cases in which adviser compensation or profitability were issues, the performance of the Funds, the expense levels of the Funds, whether the Advisers had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to such Funds and the overall profit margin of Natixis Investment Managers compared to that of certain other investment managers for which such data was available.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the advisory fee charged to each of the Funds was fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and the related profitability of the Advisers and their affiliates in respect of their relationships with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Advisers and whether those economies are shared with the Funds through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense caps. The Trustees also considered management’s explanation of the factors that are taken into account with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense caps. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that each of the Funds had breakpoints in its advisory fee and that each of the Funds was subject to an expense cap. The Trustees also considered management’s proposal to reduce the expense cap for Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and on a relative basis) and the profitability to the Advisers and their affiliates of their relationships with the Funds, as discussed above. The Trustees also considered that the Funds have benefitted from the substantial reinvestment each Adviser has made into its business.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.

|  20

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

· The effect of recent market and economic events, including but not limited to the Covid-19 crisis, on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of each Fund.

· Whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Advisers. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Advisers and their affiliates were providing to the Funds.

· So-called “fallout benefits” to the Advisers, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Advisers to provide distribution and administrative services to the Funds, and the benefits of research made available to the Advisers by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Funds’ securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the benefits to the parent company of Natixis Advisors from the retention of the Advisers. The Trustees considered the possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest.

· The Trustees’ review and discussion of the Funds’ advisory arrangements in prior years, and management’s record of responding to Trustee concerns raised during the year and in prior years.

Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the existing Agreements should be continued through June 30, 2021.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

Annual Report for the Period Commencing on December 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2019 (including updates through September 30, 2020)

Effective December 1, 2018, the Funds adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Rule”). The Rule requires registered open-end funds, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to establish liquidity risk management programs in order to effectively manage fund liquidity and mitigate the risk that a fund could not meet redemption requests without significantly diluting the interests of remaining investors.

The rule requires the Funds to assess, manage and review their liquidity risk considering applicable factors during normal and foreseeable stressed conditions. In fulfilling this requirement, each Fund assesses and reviews (where applicable and amongst other matters) its investment strategy, portfolio holdings, possible investment concentrations, use of derivatives, short-term and long-term cash flow projections, use of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources. Each Program has established a Program Administrator which is the adviser of the Fund.

In accordance with the Program, each of the Funds’ portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.

Each Fund is prohibited from acquiring an investment if, after the acquisition, its holdings of illiquid assets will exceed 15% of its net assets. If a Fund does not hold a majority of highly liquid investments in its portfolio, then the Fund is required to establish a highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”). Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund has established an HLIM.

During the period from December 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019, there were no material changes to the Program and no material events that impacted the operation of the Funds’ Programs. During the period, the Funds held sufficient liquid assets to meet redemptions on a timely basis and did not have any HLIM or illiquid security violations during the period.

During the period January 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, the Funds held sufficient liquid assets to meet redemptions on a timely basis and did not have any HLIM or illiquid security violations.

Annual Program Assessment and Conclusion

In the opinion of the Program Administrator, the Program of each Fund approved by the Funds’ Board has been implemented effectively. The Program Administrator has also monitored, assessed and managed each Fund’s liquidity risk regularly and has determined that the Program is operating effectively.

Pursuant to the Rule’s requirements, the Board has received and reviewed a written report prepared by each Fund’s Program Administrator that addressed the operation of the Program, assessed its adequacy and effectiveness and described any material changes made to the Program.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2020

1.  Organization.  Natixis Funds Trust I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trusts” and each a “Trust”) are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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 Core Plus Bond Fund (the “Core Plus Bond Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Funds II:

Loomis Sayles Global Allocation Fund (the “Global Allocation Fund”)

Each Fund is a 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 Core Plus Bond Fund and 5.75% for Global Allocation 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 and Natixis ETF Trust II (“Natixis ETF Trusts”). Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (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:

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. Senior loans are valued at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. 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. 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 are valued

77  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2020

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 a 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.

As of September 30, 2020, securities held by the Funds 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
Core Plus Bond Fund	$	—		—		$	—		—	$	2,307,376		Less than 0.1%
Global Allocation Fund		563,759,481		13.9	%		391,915		Less than 0.1%		—		—

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 the 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

|  78

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2020

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. 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, if any, 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 Funds’ 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 September 30, 2020, 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:

Core Plus Bond Fund $ 13,576,656

79  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2020

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 Funds’ 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 appreciation (depreciation) reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. 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 Funds’ 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. Daily fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable (payable) 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

|  80

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2020

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.  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.

g.  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 September 30, 2020 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.

h.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  Dividends and distributions are recorded on the 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, paydown gains and losses, convertible bonds, defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, capital gains taxes, deferred Trustees’ fees, distribution re-designations, contingent payment debt instruments, forward foreign currency contract mark-to-market, futures contract mark-to-market, trust preferred securities and premium amortization. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions 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, defaulted and/or non-income producing securities, forward foreign currency contract mark-to-market, wash sales, premium amortization, contingent payment debt instruments, trust preferred securities, capital gains taxes, foreign currency gains and losses, futures contract mark-to-market, paydown gains and losses and convertible bonds. 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 considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

	2020 Distributions Paid From:						2019 Distributions Paid From:
Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total		Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gains		Total
Core Plus Bond Fund	$	193,309,459	$	—	$	193,309,459	$	183,241,676	$	—	$	183,241,676
Global Allocation Fund		18,191,927		73,767,977		91,959,904		18,627,380		77,905,873		96,533,253

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 September 30, 2020, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Core Plus Bond Fund		Global Allocation Fund
Undistributed ordinary income	$	151,108,769	$	19,532,864
Undistributed long-term capital gains		27,812,288		204,551,060
Total undistributed earnings		178,921,057		224,083,924
Unrealized appreciation		325,592,198		754,433,890
Total accumulated earnings	$	504,513,255	$	978,517,814
Capital loss carryforward utilized in the current year	$	74,174,601	$	—

As of September 30, 2020, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as a component of distributable earnings were as follows:

	Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund			Loomis Sayles Global Allocation Fund
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
Investments	$	349,485,307		$	752,864,748
Foreign currency translations		(23,893,109	)		1,569,142
Total unrealized appreciation	$	325,592,198		$	754,433,890

As of September 30, 2020, the tax cost of investments (including derivatives, if applicable) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a federal tax basis were as follows:

	Core Plus Bond Fund			Global Allocation Fund
Federal tax cost	$	9,521,438,809		$	3,265,634,581
Gross tax appreciation	$	414,243,127		$	819,937,079
Gross tax depreciation		(88,654,978	)		(64,834,813	)
Net tax appreciation	$	325,588,149		$	755,102,266

The difference between these amounts and those reported in the components of distributable earnings are primarily attributable to capital gains taxes and foreign exchange gains or losses.

i.  Senior Loans.  Each Fund may invest in senior loans to corporate, governmental or other borrowers. Senior loans, which include both secured and unsecured loans made by banks and other financial institutions to corporate customers, typically hold the most senior position in a borrower’s capital structure, may be secured by the borrower’s assets and have interest rates that reset frequently. Senior Loans can include term loans, revolving credit facility loans and second lien loans. A senior 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 senior loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Large loans may be shared or syndicated among several lenders. A Fund may enter into the primary syndicate for a loan or it may also purchase all or a portion of loans from other lenders (sometimes referred to as loan assignments), in either case becoming a direct lender. Senior loans outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

j.  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 September 30, 2020, 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.

k.  Due to/from Brokers.  Transactions and positions in certain futures, forward foreign currency contracts and delayed delivery commitments 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 Core Plus Bond Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for delayed delivery securities. The due from brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Global Allocation Fund represents cash pledged as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts and as initial margin for futures contracts. The due to brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Core Plus Fund represents cash received as collateral for delayed delivery securities. The due to brokers balance in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for Global Allocation Fund represents cash received as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts. In certain circumstances a Fund’s use of cash held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

l.  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 September 30, 2020, neither Fund had loaned securities under this agreement.

m.  Indemnifications.  Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

n.  New Accounting Pronouncement.  In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update introduces new fair value disclosure requirements, eliminates some prior fair value disclosure requirements, and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of the update and delay adoption of any new disclosures until the required effective date. Management has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 and has determined to early adopt the removal of (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels. Amended disclosures required and permitted for early adoption by ASU 2018-13 have been incorporated in the Funds’ annual financial statements as of September 30, 2020.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is expected to occur no later than December 31, 2021, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 amendments offer optional expedients for contract modifications that would allow an entity to account for such modifications by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate, instead of evaluating each contract, in accordance with existing accounting standards, as to whether reference rate modifications constitute the establishment of new contracts or the continuation of existing contracts. ASU 2020-04 amendments are currently effective and an entity may elect to apply its provisions as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. No Fund contracts have yet been impacted by reference rate reform. Management expects to apply the optional expedients when appropriate.

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;

|  86

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2020

• 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. The Funds’ adviser may use internally developed models to validate broker-dealer bid prices that are only available from a single broker or market maker. Such securities are considered and classified as fair valued. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds do not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. 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.

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 Global Allocation Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts and futures 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. The Fund may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the Fund. During the year ended September 30, 2020, Global Allocation Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

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 securities. The Fund may also use futures contracts to gain investment exposure. During the year ended September 30, 2020, Global Allocation Fund used futures contracts to manage duration.

The following is a summary of derivative instruments for Global Allocation Fund as of September 30, 2020, as reflected within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

Assets	Unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency contracts		Unrealized appreciation on futures contracts1
Over-the-counter asset derivatives
Foreign exchange contracts	$	3,044,123	$	—
Exchange-traded asset derivatives
Interest rate contracts		—		27,728
Total asset derivatives	$	3,044,123	$	27,728

Liabilities	Unrealized depreciation on forward foreign currency contracts
Over-the-counter liability derivatives

1 Represents cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts. Only the current day’s variation margin on futures contracts is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable or payable for variation margin, as applicable.

Transactions in derivative instruments for Global Allocation Fund during the year ended September 30, 2020, as reflected within the Statements of Operations, were as follows:

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on:	Forward foreign currency contracts		Futures contracts
Interest rate contracts	$	—	$	537,933
Foreign exchange contracts		7,942,395		—
Total	$	7,942,395	$	537,933
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on:	Forward foreign currency contracts		Futures contracts
Interest rate contracts	$	—	$	27,728
Foreign exchange contracts		2,893,011		—
Total	$	2,893,011	$	27,728

As the Fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value through the Statement 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.

Global Allocation Fund	Forwards			Futures
Average Notional Amount Outstanding		9.88	%		0.17	%
Highest Notional Amount Outstanding		11.47	%		0.22	%
Lowest Notional Amount Outstanding		8.43	%		0.15	%
Notional Amount Outstanding as of September 30, 2020		11.32	%		0.15	%

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

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

Over-the-counter derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, 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 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 September 30, 2020, 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:

Global Allocation Fund

Counterparty	Gross Amounts of Assets			Offset Amount			Net Asset Balance			Collateral (Received)/ Pledged			Net Amount
Bank of America, N.A.	$	67,789		$	—		$	67,789		$	—		$	67,789
Credit Suisse International		2,868,366			(17,533	)		2,850,833			(2,850,833	)		—
Morgan Stanley Capital Services, Inc.		98,643			(98,643	)		—			—			—
UBS AG		9,325			(9,325	)		—			—			—
	$	3,044,123		$	(125,501	)	$	2,918,622		$	(2,850,833	)	$	67,789
Counterparty	Gross Amounts of Liabilities			Offset Amount			Net Liability Balance			Collateral (Received)/ Pledged			Net Amount
Credit Suisse International	$	(17,533	)	$	17,533		$	—		$	—		$	—
HSBC Bank USA		(41,835	)		—			(41,835	)		—			(41,835	)
Morgan Stanley Capital Services, Inc.		(951,740	)		98,643			(853,097	)		693,811			(159,286	)
UBS AG		(21,184	)		9,325			(11,859	)		—			(11,859	)
	$	(1,032,292	)	$	125,501		$	(906,791	)	$	693,811		$	(212,980	)

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 September 30, 2020:

Fund	Maximum Amount of Loss - Gross		Maximum Amount of Loss - Net
Global Allocation Fund	$	3,947,188	$	277,043

Net loss amount reflects cash received as collateral of $3,600,000, which is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5.  Purchases and Sales of Securities.  For the year ended September 30, 2020, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and including paydowns) were as follows:

	U.S. Government/Agency Securities				Other Securities
Fund	Purchases		Sales		Purchases		Sales
Core Plus Bond Fund	$	25,650,126,245	$	26,267,289,641	$	2,701,867,371	$	1,264,462,341
Global Allocation Fund		280,535,863		139,563,611		1,626,592,448		1,088,869,754

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2020

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Trusts have adopted a Service Plan relating to each Fund’s Class A shares (the “Class A Plans”), and a Distribution and Service Plan relating to each Fund’s Class C shares (the “Class C Plans”).

Under the Class A Plans, each Fund pays Natixis Distribution a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class A shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Natixis Distribution in providing personal services to investors in Class A shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Under the Class C Plans, each Fund pays Natixis Distribution a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class C shares, as compensation for services provided by Natixis Distribution in providing personal services to investors in Class C shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Also under the Class C Plans, each Fund pays Natixis Distribution a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class C shares, as compensation for services provided by Natixis Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Class C shares.

For the year ended September 30, 2020, the service and distribution fees for each Fund were as follows:

	Service Fees				Distribution Fees
Fund	Class A		Class C		Class C
Core Plus Bond Fund	$	1,374,815	$	372,646	$	1,117,937
Global Allocation Fund		1,279,400		1,221,805		3,665,415

Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, Natixis ETF Trusts and Natixis Advisors, each Fund pays Natixis Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0540% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts, 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 Trusts of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

For the year ended September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020, 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
Core Plus Bond Fund	$	4,216,850
Global Allocation Fund		2,613,013

As of September 30, 2020, the Funds owe Natixis Distribution the following reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as payable to distributor):

Fund	Reimbursements of Sub-Transfer Agent Fees
Core Plus Bond Fund	$	54,860
Global Allocation Fund		56,767

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 September 30, 2020, were as follows:

Fund	Commissions
Core Plus Bond Fund	$	74,686
Global Allocation Fund		198,902

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 $369,000. 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 $199,000. 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, the chairperson of the Audit Committee and the chairperson of the Governance Committee each receive an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $20,000. 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 Trusts 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.

Prior to January 1, 2020, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $360,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $190,000, and the chairperson of the Governance Committee received an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $15,000. All other Trustee fees remained 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 Trusts 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 Trusts, 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.  Affiliated Ownership.  As of September 30, 2020, Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held shares of the Core Plus Bond Fund and Global Allocation Fund representing 0.13% and 0.57%, respectively, of the Funds’ net assets.

h.  Reimbursement of Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses.  Natixis Advisors had given a binding contractual undertaking to Global Allocation Fund to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for the Fund’s Class N shares. This undertaking was in effect through January 31, 2020 and is not subject to recovery under the expense limitation agreement described above.

For the year ended September 30, 2020, Natixis Advisors reimbursed Global Allocation Fund $782 for transfer agency expenses related to Class N shares.

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.

For the year ended September 30, 2020, 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
Core Plus Bond Fund	$	458,508	$	125,024	$	8,901	$	3,854,110
Global Allocation Fund		429,392		410,683		2,413		1,858,859

8.  Line of Credit.  Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Natixis ETF Trusts, 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 certain other legal fees in connection with the line of credit agreement, which are being amortized over a period of 364 days and are reflected in legal fees and/or miscellaneous expenses on the Statements of Operations. The unamortized balance is reflected as prepaid expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

September 30, 2020

For the year ended September 30, 2020, neither Fund had borrowings under this agreement.

9.  Risk.  Global Allocation Fund’s investments in foreign securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit/counterparty and information risks. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities also are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and other foreign currency-related risks. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity.

Core Plus Bond Fund’s investments in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to certain risks not associated with investments in other securities. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to the risk that unexpected changes in interest rates will have a direct effect on expected maturity. A shortened maturity may result in the reinvestment of prepaid amounts in securities with lower yields than the original obligations. An extended maturity may result in a reduction of a security’s value.

Global markets have experienced periods of high volatility triggered by the ongoing public health emergency known as coronavirus (“Covid-19”). As the situation continues, the extent and duration of the impact that the Covid-19 outbreak may have on financial markets and the economy as a whole remains highly uncertain. If the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak on financial markets and the economy continue for an extended period of time, the Funds’ future financial and investment results may be adversely affected.

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 Fund. As of September 30, 2020, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Fund had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s 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:

	Number of 5% Account Holders		Percentage of Ownership
Core Plus Bond Fund		1		11.44	%

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.

12.  Redemption In-Kind.  In certain circumstances, a Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for redemption of Fund shares (redemption in-kind). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund will recognize a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities; the Fund will recognize a loss if the cost exceeds value. Gains and losses realized on redemptions in-kind are not recognized for tax purposes, and are re-classified from realized gain (loss) to paid-in-capital. Core Plus Bond Fund realized a gain of $19,866,959 on redemptions-in-kind during the year ended September 30, 2020. This amount is included in realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Loomis Sayles Funds II and Natixis Funds Trust I and Shareholders of Loomis Sayles Global Allocation Fund and Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund:

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Loomis Sayles Global Allocation Fund (one of the funds constituting Loomis Sayles Funds II) and Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting Natixis Funds Trust I) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020 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 September 30, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers;

CODE OF ETHICS PURSUANT TO SECTION 406 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY

ACT OF 2002 FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL

OFFICERS

I. Covered Persons/Purpose of the Code

This Code of Ethics (this “Code”) pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has been adopted by the registered investment companies (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) listed on Exhibit A and applies to each Fund’s Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the “Covered Persons,” all covered persons are set forth in Exhibit B) for the purpose of promoting:

• Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

• Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the registrant

• Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

• The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and

• Accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Person should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to conflicts of interest.

II. Covered Persons Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

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.
