LOOMIS SAYLES STRATEGIC INCOME FUND
(the Fund)
Supplement dated March 4, 2013 to the Funds Summary Prospectus and Prospectus, each dated
February 1, 2013, as each may be revised and supplemented from time to time.
The average annual total returns for Class A shares of the Fund were incorrectly reported in the Funds prospectus dated February 1, 2013. The average annual total returns for Class A shares reported in the Funds prospectus were as follows:
Average Annual Total Returns (for the periods ended December 31, 2012) |
Past 1 Year |
Past 5 Years |
Past 10 Years |
|||||||||
Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund Class A Return Before Taxes |
9.59 | % | 6.60 | % | 10.06 | % | ||||||
Return After Taxes on Distributions |
7.73 | % | 4.31 | % | 7.75 | % | ||||||
Return After Taxes on Distributions & Sale of Fund Shares |
6.33 | % | 4.25 | % | 7.38 | % |
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 under the Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table section of the prospectuses is amended and restated as follows for Class A shares of the Fund:
Average Annual Total Returns (for the periods ended December 31, 2012) |
Past 1 Year |
Past 5 Years |
Past 10 Years |
