Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods (except where indicated). The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

If shares are redeemed

Expense Example - Loomis Sayles Value Fund (USD $)	Class A	Class B	Class C	Class Y	Admin Class
1 year	669	676	276	76	119
3 years	869	845	545	237	372
5 years	1,086	1,139	939	411	644
10 years	1,707	1,842	2,041	918	1,420

If shares are not redeemed

Expense Example, No Redemption - Loomis Sayles Value Fund (USD $)	Class A	Class B	Class C	Class Y	Admin Class
1 year	669	176	176	76	119
3 years	869	545	545	237	372
5 years	1,086	939	939	411	644
10 years	1,707	1,842	2,041	918	1,420

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During its most recently ended fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 29% of the average value of its portfolio.

Investments, Risks and Performance Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest primarily in equity securities, including common stocks, convertible securities and warrants. In deciding which securities to buy and sell, the Adviser generally looks for companies that it believes are undervalued by the market in relation to earnings, dividends, assets and/or growth prospects. The Fund's investments may include companies that have suffered significant business problems but that the Adviser believes have favorable prospects for recovery. The Adviser seeks to identify companies that it believes are, among other things, attractively valued based on the Adviser's estimate of intrinsic value. The Adviser generally seeks to find value by selecting individual stocks that it believes are attractive, rather than by attempting to achieve investment growth by rotating the Fund's holdings among various sectors of the economy. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in securities of foreign issuers including emerging market securities, invest in options for hedging and investment purposes, real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and Rule 144A securities. Except as provided above, the Fund is not limited in the percentage of its assets that it may invest in these instruments.

Principal Risks

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. The Fund does not represent a complete investment program. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. Currency Risk: Fluctuations in the exchange rates between different currencies may negatively affect an investment. The Fund may elect not to hedge currency risk, or may hedge such risk imperfectly, which may cause the Fund to incur losses that would not have been incurred had the risk been hedged. Derivatives Risk: Derivatives are subject to changes in the value of the underlying asset or indices on which such transactions are based. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives will be effective or that suitable transactions will be available. Even a small investment in derivatives may give rise to leverage risk and can have a significant impact on the Fund's exposure to securities markets values, interest rates or currency exchange rates. It is possible that the Fund's liquid assets may be insufficient to support its obligations under its derivatives positions. The use of derivatives for other than hedging purposes may be considered a speculative activity, and involves greater risks than are involved in hedging. The use of derivatives may cause the Fund to incur losses greater than those which would have occurred had derivatives not been used. The Fund's use of derivatives such as options transactions involves other risks, such as the credit risk relating to the other party to a derivative contract (which is greater for over-the-counter traded derivatives), the risk of difficulties in pricing and valuation, the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with relevant assets, rates or indices, liquidity risk, allocation risk and the risk of losing more than the initial margin required to initiate derivatives positions. There is also the risk that the Fund may be unable to terminate or sell a derivatives position at an advantageous time or price. Moreover, a number of broker-dealers and other financial institutions have recently experienced extreme financial difficulty, sometimes resulting in bankruptcy of the institution. Although Loomis Sayles monitors the creditworthiness of the Fund's derivative counterparties,there can be no assurance that the Fund's derivative counterparties will not experience similar financial difficulties, possibly resulting in losses to the Fund. Emerging Markets Risk: Investing in emerging markets companies, which may be smaller and have shorter operating histories than companies in developed markets, involves risks in addition to, and greater than, those generally associated with investing in companies in developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development, political stability, market depth, infrastructure, capitalization and regulatory oversight in emerging market economies is generally less than in more developed markets. Equity Securities Risk: The value of the Fund's investments in equity securities could be subject to unpredictable declines in the value of individual securities and periods of below-average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. Rule 144A securities may be less liquid than other equity securities. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks. Value stocks also present the risk that their lower valuations fairly reflect their business prospects and that investors will not agree that the stocks represent favorable investment opportunities, and they may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during any given period. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of the issuer's bonds and preferred stock generally take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock. Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in foreign securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit and information risks. The Fund's investments in foreign securities are also subject to foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign securities may be subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity.Issuer Risk: The value of the Fund's investments may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods and services. Leverage Risk: Use of derivative instruments may involve leverage. Leverage is the risk associated with securities or practices that multiply small index, market or asset price movements into larger changes in value. To the extent that the Fund uses a derivative for purposes other than as a hedge, or if the Fund hedges imperfectly, the Fund is directly exposed to the risks of that derivative and any loss generated by the derivative will not be offset by a gain. The use of leverage increases the impact of gains and losses on a fund's returns, and may lead to significant losses if investments are not successful. However, the Adviser will attempt to ensure that at all times the Fund has sufficient liquid assets to enable it to satisfy its obligations under its derivative contracts. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling these illiquid securities at an advantageous price or time. A lack of liquidity also may cause the value of investments to decline. Illiquid investments also may be difficult to value. Management Risk: A strategy used by the Fund's portfolio managers may fail to produce the intended result. Market Risk: The market value of a security will move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based upon a change in an issuer's financial condition, as well as overall market and economic conditions. REITs Risk: Investments in the real estate industry, including REITs, are particularly sensitive to economic downturns and are sensitive to factors such as changes in real estate values, property taxes and tax laws, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, occupancy rates, government regulations affecting zoning, land use and rents and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Companies in the real estate industry also may be subject to liabilities under environmental and hazardous waste laws. In addition, the value of a REIT is affected by changes in the value of the properties owned by the REIT or mortgage loans held by the REIT. REITs are also subject to default and prepayment risk. Many REITs are highly leveraged, increasing their risk. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Small Capitalization Risk: The general risks associated with corporate income-producing securities are particularly pronounced for securities issued by companies with smaller market capitalizations. These companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or they may depend on a few key employees. As a result, they may be subject to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk. Securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in lesser volume than more widely-held securities and their values may fluctuate more sharply than other securities. Further, securities of smaller companies may perform differently in different cycles than securities of larger companies. Companies with medium-sized market capitalizations may have risks similar to those of smaller companies.

The returns shown in the table for Class A shares prior to June 1, 2007 are those of Retail Class shares, which were redesignated as Class A shares, restated to reflect the sales loads of Class A shares. Prior to the inception of Retail Class shares (June 30, 2006), performance is that of Institutional Class shares, which were redesignated as Class Y shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses and sales loads of Class A shares. Prior to the inception of Class B and Class C shares (June 1, 2007), performance is that of Institutional Class shares, which were redesignated as Class Y shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses and sales loads of Class B and Class C shares, respectively. Prior to the inception of Admin Class shares (February 1, 2010), performance is that of Class A shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses of Admin Class shares. Prior to February 1, 2012, Class A, B and C shares were offered in a separate prospectus and given that Class A, B and C shares are now offered in this multi-class prospectus, Total Return, Return After Taxes on Distributions and Return After Taxes on Distributions & Sale of Fund Shares are now presented for Class Y Shares.After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans, qualified plans, education savings accounts, such as 529 plans, or individual retirement accounts. The after-tax returns are shown for only one class of the Fund. After tax returns for the other classes of the Fund will vary. In some cases the after-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period.
