LOOMIS SAYLES STRATEGIC INCOME FUND

(the “Fund”)

Supplement dated March 4, 2013 to the Fund’s Annual Report for the period ended September 30, 2012.

The average annual total returns (with 4.50% maximum sales charge) for Class A shares of the Fund were incorrectly reported in the Fund’s annual report for the period ended September 30, 2012. The average annual total returns for Class A shares reported in the Fund’s annual report were as follows:

Average Annual Total Returns – September 30, 20126

 

     1 Year     5 Years     10 Years  

Class A (Inception 5/1/95)

With 4.50% Maximum Sales Charge

     10.00     6.13     10.74

6Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

Inadvertently, a maximum sales charge of 3.50% was applied to the originally reported average annual returns resulting in overstated performance amounts for Class A shares. The corrected average annual total returns in the table below reflect the correct maximum sales charge of 4.50% for Class A shares of the Fund.

Effective immediately, the average annual total returns information with respect to Class A within the table “Average Annual Total Returns – September 30, 2012” in the annual report is amended and restated as follows for Class A shares of the Fund:

Average Annual Total Returns – September 30, 20126

 

     1 Year     5 Years     10 Years  

Class A (Inception 5/1/95)

With 4.50% Maximum Sales Charge

     8.89     5.90     10.62

Market Conditions

Geopolitical events dominated the headlines during the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2012. The financial markets generally moved in concert with developments and setbacks tied to the European sovereign debt crisis and the nascent economic recovery in the United States. Domestic economic data turned somewhat positive but remained markedly weak, underscoring the fragility of the U.S. recovery. This, in conjunction with the potential for fresh volatility stemming from the upcoming presidential election and pending “fiscal cliff” of federal tax hikes and spending cuts, resulted in expectations for action from the Federal Reserve (the Fed). This anticipation and eventual Fed intervention generally supported the credit markets during the second half of the period. Meanwhile, after months of debate, the European Central Bank agreed to decisive policy steps to help stabilize the ailing euro. This action helped ease investor fears and alleviate the risk aversion that had dominated the market.

Performance Results

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2012, Class A shares of Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund returned 14.02% at net asset value. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 5.16% for the period. The fund outperformed the 12.54% average return of funds in its peer group, the Morningstar Multisector Bond category.

Explanation of Fund Performance

The fund benefited from the heightened liquidity and elevated demand for yield prevalent during the 12-month period. In particular, out-of-benchmark allocations drove the fund’s relative outperformance. The fund’s non-U.S.-dollar-denominated holdings contributed the most to relative performance, as investors turned away from traditional “safe-haven” securities in their search for yield. The euro climbed markedly late in the period and was the overall winner

among the fund’s foreign-currency-denominated issues. The New Zealand dollar, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar also posted positive results. In addition, the fund’s exposure to high-yield securities benefitted from a robust new issuance market, supported by the Fed’s assurance that interest rates would remain low into 2015. Within high yield, the industrial sector contributed the most to returns, buoyed by strong showings from individual names, while the financial and utility sectors also proved additive. Exposure to convertible securities also boosted performance. Convertibles trended higher alongside equities, which climbed during the period.

An underweight position in commercial mortgage-backed securities, which were strong performers during the period, detracted from relative returns. In addition, the fund’s allocation to sovereign issues weighed on performance, largely due to certain issues denominated in the Swiss franc and Norwegian krone. Exposure to investment-grade utilities detracted from performance, as the traditionally defensive sector was out of favor for much of the period.

Outlook

Unprecedented monetary support in both the United States and Europe continues to largely dictate market sentiment and flows, while preserving low interest rates. Investor desire for yield in this environment will most likely support sustained demand in the corporate arena. Fundamental credit quality in the corporate sector remains a source of confidence for investors. However, if economic conditions continue to deteriorate globally, the challenge of investing in stable to improving companies will become more challenging.

The U.S. elections, pending “fiscal cliff” and increasingly weakening economic conditions in Europe, China and the United States are all situations that could potentially provide market volatility and opportunities. We consider recent positive developments in the U.S. housing market along with the Fed’s latest purchase program in the mortgage market to be sources of good news on the economic front and view the sectors as continuing opportunities. Our strategy of populating the fund with individual specific-risks ideas remains an important theme, as do the concepts of yield advantage and investing with a long-term horizon in mind. Macroeconomic developments continue to dominate the headlines and market flows, but our belief that owning quality companies based on fundamentals continues to serve us well and will drive our investment process through the rest of this calendar year.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The chart and table do not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Unlike a fund, an index is not managed and does not reflect fees and expenses.

2 Performance for Class B shares assumes a maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares, which declines annually between years 1-6 according to the following schedule: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0%. Class C share performance assumes a 1% CDSC applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different types of costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees) and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus. The examples below 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 for each class shows the actual amount of fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from April 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. 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 =8.60) and multiply the result by the number in Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table for each class 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 and 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. 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 AGREEMENT

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

In connection with these meetings, the Trustees receive materials that the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) believes to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreement. These materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of the Fund and the performance of a peer group of funds and the Fund’s performance benchmarks, (ii) information on the Fund’s advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to the fees charged to institutional accounts with similar strategies managed by the Adviser and to those of a peer group of funds and information about any applicable expense caps and fee “breakpoints,” (iii) sales and redemption data in respect of the Fund, (iv) information about the profitability of the Agreement to the Adviser and (v) information obtained through the completion by the Adviser of a questionnaire distributed on behalf of the Trustees. The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, also consider other matters such as (i) the Adviser’s financial results and financial condition, (ii) the Fund’s investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of the Adviser’s investment staff and its use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (iii) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Fund’s shares and the related costs, (iv) the procedures employed to determine the value of the Fund’s assets, (v) the allocation of the Fund’s brokerage, if any, including, if applicable, allocations to brokers affiliated with the Adviser and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay Fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services, (vi) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies, (vii) information about amounts invested by the Fund’s portfolio managers in the Fund or in similar accounts that they manage and (viii) 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 Adviser.

In addition to the materials requested by the Trustees in connection with their annual consideration of the continuation of the Agreement, the Trustees receive materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust that provide detailed information about the Fund’s investment performance and the fees charged to the Fund for advisory and other services. This information generally includes, among other things, an internal performance rating for the Fund based on agreed-upon criteria, graphs showing the Fund’s performance and fee differentials against the Fund’s

Table of Contents

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 the Fund against similarly categorized funds. The portfolio management team for the Fund or other representatives of the Adviser make periodic presentations to the Contract Review and Governance Committee and/or the full Board of Trustees of the Trust, and if the Fund is identified as presenting possible performance concerns it may be subject to more frequent board presentations and reviews. In addition, each quarter the Trustees are provided with detailed statistical information about the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also receive periodic updates between meetings.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust most recently approved the continuation of the Agreement at their meeting held in June 2012. The Agreement was continued for a one-year period for the Fund. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreement, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, 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 Agreement included, but were not limited to, the factors listed below.

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Agreement. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Fund and the resources dedicated to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates.

The Trustees considered not only the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, but also the administrative services provided by NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) and its affiliates to the 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 the Agreement, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the renewal of the Agreement.

Investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser. As noted above, the Trustees received information about the performance of the Fund over various time periods, including information which compared the performance of the Fund to the performance of similarly categorized funds and the Fund’s performance benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees also reviewed data prepared by an independent third party which analyzed the performance of the Fund using a variety of performance metrics, including metrics which also measured the performance of the Fund on a risk adjusted basis.

The Board concluded that the Fund’s performance or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreement. Although the Trustees noted that the Fund had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group median and/or category median for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Board concluded that other factors relevant to

 

9  |


Table of Contents

performance supported renewal of the Agreement. These factors included the following: (1) that underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions (such as security selection or sector allocation) by the Adviser that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies and (2) that the Fund’s performance was stronger over the long term.

The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally, the performance of the fund family generally (as noted by certain financial publications), and the historical responsiveness of the Adviser to Trustee concerns about performance and the willingness of the Adviser 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 Agreement, that the performance of the Fund and the Adviser and/or other relevant factors supported the renewal of the Agreement.

The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their respective relationships with the Fund. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the Fund for advisory services as well as the total expense levels of the Fund. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and also by an independent third party) of the Fund’s advisory fees and total expense levels to those of its peer group and information about the advisory fees charged by the Adviser 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 and the greater regulatory costs associated with the management of mutual fund assets. In evaluating the Fund’s advisory fee, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Fund, as well as the need for the Adviser to offer competitive compensation and to expend additional resources as 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 advisory fee breakpoints and the institution of advisory fee waivers and expense caps for various funds in the fund family. They noted that, as of December 31, 2011, the Fund has an expense cap in place, and the Trustees considered that the current expenses are below the cap. The Trustees noted that the Fund had an advisory fee rate that was above the median of a peer group of funds. The Trustees considered the factors which management believed justified such relatively higher fees, including that: (1) the Fund’s advisory fee rate was only slightly above its peer group median and (2) the Fund had not yet reached asset levels at which the advisory fee breakpoints would have an impact on fees.

The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability of the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ relationships with the Fund, and information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. They also reviewed information provided by management about the effect of distribution costs and changes in asset levels on Adviser profitability,

 

|  10


Table of Contents

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 Fund, the expense levels of the Fund, whether the Adviser had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to the Fund and the overall profit margin of the Adviser compared to other investment managers.

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

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision of services by the Adviser and whether those economies are shared with the Fund through breakpoints in its investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense waivers or caps. The Trustees also discussed with management the factors considered with respect to the implementation of breakpoints in investment advisory fees or expense waivers or caps for certain funds. Management explained that a number of factors are taken into account in considering the possible implementation of breakpoints or an expense cap for a fund, including, among other things, factors such as a fund’s assets, the projected growth of a fund, projected profitability and a fund’s fees and performance. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted the Fund is subject to breakpoints in its advisory fees. The Trustees further noted that the Fund was subject to an expense cap or waiver. In considering these issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and a relative basis) and the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationships with the Fund, as discussed above.

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

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

 

·  

The effect of recent market and economic events on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of the Fund.

 

·  

Whether the 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 Fund and the Adviser. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates were providing to the Fund.

 

·

·  

So-called “fallout benefits” to the Adviser, such as the engagement of affiliates of the Adviser to provide distribution, administrative and brokerage services to the Fund, and the benefits of research made available to the Adviser by reason of brokerage commissions (if any) generated by the Fund’s securities transactions. The Trustees also considered the fact that NGAM Advisors’ parent company benefits from the retention of an affiliated Adviser. 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 Fund’s 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 Agreement should be continued through June 30, 2013.

1.  Organization.  Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The 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 Trust are presented in separate reports. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund (the “Fund”).

The Fund is a diversified investment company.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class Y and Admin Class shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the prospectus.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge; however, they are charged higher Rule 12b-1 fees, and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if such shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. After eight years of ownership, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Y shares are generally intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus. Admin Class shares do not pay a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, but do pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries.

Most expenses of the Trust 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 the Trust. Expenses of the Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees). 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 the Fund in the preparation of its financial

statements. The Fund’s financial statements 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 Fund’s financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. 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 a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and 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. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the closing market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity

and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the 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 amortization of premium. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. 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 Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars 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 on the respective dates of such transactions.

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund 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.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  The Trust treats each fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The 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 the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of September 30, 2012 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Fund’s 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 Fund. 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.

The 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 eligible to be reclaimed 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 the 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.

e.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually 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 transactions, contingent payment debt instruments, premium amortization, defaulted bond adjustments, paydown gains and losses, trust preferred securities and return of capital and capital gains distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to wash sales, premium amortization, non-REIT return of capital outstanding, REIT basis adjustments, trust preferred securities,

contingent payment debt instruments and defaulted bond interest. Distributions from net investment income and 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, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted. Under the Act, for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely. Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years. Additionally, capital losses realized in taxable years beginning after the effective date of the Act are carried over in the character (short-term or long-term) realized. Rules in effect previously treated all capital loss carryforwards as short-term.

f.  Repurchase Agreements.  It is the 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 the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

g.  Securities Lending.  The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, 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 Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent. Excess collateral in the amount of $2,847,444 related to terminated loans with a bankrupt borrower is held by State Street Bank on behalf of the Fund.

For the year ended September 30, 2012, the Fund did not loan securities under this agreement.

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

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the 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;

 

   

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

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

September 30, 2012

 

   

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 the 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 following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2012, at value:

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.  NGAM 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 Fund and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Fund primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Fund. These services would have been provided by the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Fund’s transfer agent. Accordingly, the Fund has agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Fund’s Board, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers.

For the year ended September 30, 2012, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations) for the Fund were $9,803,740. As of September 30, 2012, the Fund owes NGAM Distribution $124,277 in reimbursement for sub-transfer agent fees.

e.  Commissions.  Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by NGAM Distribution during the year ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $4,914,453.

f.  Trustees Fees and Expenses.  The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution, Natixis US or their affiliates. Effective January 1, 2012, the Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $265,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $95,000. 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, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000. Each Contract Review and Governance 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 $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,750 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 Hansberger International Series 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, 2012, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $250,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $80,000. All other Trustee fees remain unchanged.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Fund 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 Hansberger International Series 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 Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Fund under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6.  Line of Credit.  The Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% 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. Prior to April 19, 2012, the commitment fee was 0.125% per annum.

For the year ended September 30, 2012, the Fund had no borrowings under these agreements.

7.  Concentration of Risk.  The Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Trustees of Loomis Sayles Funds II and Shareholders of Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund, a series of Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Fund”), at September 30, 2012, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

This approval is subject to review of the full Audit Committee at its next quarterly meeting. All other engagements require the approval of all the members of the Audit Committee.

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”.

 

-3-


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.

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.
