LOOMIS SAYLES SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

LOOMIS SAYLES SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

Supplement dated May 29, 2009 to the Loomis Sayles Retail Equity Funds Prospectus, dated

February 1, 2009, as may be revised and supplemented from time to time.

Effective August 1, 2009, the following paragraph replaces the first paragraph within the sub-section “Principal Investment Strategies” under the section “Risk/Return Summary” of each Fund.

The Fund normally will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in the equity securities of “small cap companies.” In accordance with applicable SEC requirements, the Fund will notify shareholders prior to any change to such policy taking effect. Currently, the Fund defines a small cap company to be one whose market capitalization either falls within the capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index, an index that tracks stocks of 2,000 of the smallest U.S. companies, or is $3 billion or less at the time of investment. The Fund may invest the rest of its assets in companies of any size, including large capitalization companies.
