IXIS ADVISOR INCOME AND TAX FREE INCOME FUNDS

 

Supplement dated April 2, 2007 to the IXIS Advisor Income and Tax Free Income Funds Class ABC Prospectus and IXIS Advisor Income Funds Class Y Prospectus, each dated February 1, 2007, each as may be revised or supplemented from time to time

 

Effective July 1, 2007, the first paragraph of the section “Dividends and Distributions” will be amended and restated as follows:

 

The Funds generally distribute most or all of their net investment income (other than capital gains) in the form of dividends. Each Fund declares and pays dividends for each class monthly. Each Fund expects to distribute substantially all net realized long- and short-term capital gains annually, after applying any available capital loss carryovers. To the extent permitted by law, the Funds may adopt a different schedule as long as payments are made at least annually.

Supplement dated April 2, 2007 to the Loomis Sayles Retail Equity Prospectus dated February 1, 2007,

as may be revised or supplemented from time to time

 

On or about June 1, 2007, any outstanding Retail Class shares of the Loomis Sayles Value Fund (the “Fund”) will be redesignated as Class A shares of the Fund. Also on such date, any outstanding Institutional Class shares of the Fund will be redesignated as Class Y shares of the Fund. Expenses relating to these classes of shares (including expenses relating to distribution arrangements) will not change as a result of the redesignations. Although purchases of Class A shares will generally be subject to a front-end sales charge, Retail Class shareholders of the Fund whose shares are redesignated as Class A shares will be eligible to purchase additional Class A shares of any series of IXIS Advisor Funds that offers Class A shares, without a front-end sales charge. Class A shares of the Fund will be eligible for exchange into Class A shares of any IXIS Advisor Fund that offers such class of shares. Retail Class and Institutional Class shares will be available for purchase through the Loomis Sayles Retail Equity Prospectus until the date of such redesignations. Shareholders will receive a revised prospectus relating to the redesignated Classes on or about the redesignation date.
