I. STATUS OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

(LOOMIS SAYLES INVESTMENT GRADE BOND FUND (hereinafter referred to as the “Fund”))

 

(1) Diversification of Investment Portfolio

[See a separate Excel file.]

 

  Note 1: The investment ratio is calculated by dividing each asset at its market value by the total net asset value of the Fund. The same applies hereinafter.
  Note 2: The exchange rate of U.S. Dollars (“dollar” or “$”) into Japanese Yen is ¥80.88 for one U.S. Dollar, which is the actual middle point between the selling and buying currency rate by telegraphic transfer of The Bank of Mitsubishi-Tokyo UFJ, Ltd. as of May 31, 2011. The same applies hereinafter.
  Note 3: In this report, money amounts and percentages have been rounded. Therefore, there are cases in which the amount for the “total” column is not equal to the aggregate amount. Also, conversion into other currencies is done simply by multiplying the corresponding amount by the conversion rate specified and rounded up when necessary. As a result, in this report, there are cases in which figures for the same information differ from each other.
